What is the Bicycle and Pedestrian
Master Plan Update?
The Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan is a focused update to the 2018 Plan that creates a 5-year work plan of projects and programs to support bicycling and walking in San Leandro. 12/2/2024 5
What is a “focused update?”
The focused update reviews and updates the 2018 network with new prioritization and implementation strategies.
The community outreach and technical tasks are designed to build off existing work and finalize the update on a shorter schedule.
12/2/2024 6
San Leandro adopted a Vision Zero policy and
Local Roadway Safety Plan in 2021.
Vision Zero aims to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries.
Since 2017, there have been 3 fatal and 20 severe injury collisions involving bicyclists and/or pedestrians in San Leandro. 12/2/2024 7
The focused update incorporates new
best practice guidelines.

The recommendations build off progress
since the 2018 Plan.
500 upgraded curb ramps
33 intersections with new pedestrian improvements
11 miles of new bike routes
2 miles of new bike lanes
1 mile of new separated bikeways
12/2/2024 16
Pedestrian priority areas focus on schools,
business districts, and transit.
12/2/2024 17
These are some of the typical project types
within pedestrian priority areas.

The proposed bikeway network will provide
access for all ages and abilities.
12/2/2024 19
Bikeways are recommended by four
main types.

Project locations have been scored and
prioritized based on five criteria:
Safety Need
Community Input
Community Destinations
Equity
Growth
The Plan identifies 101 bicycle
corridors where priority bicycle
improvement projects are
recommended, 14 of which are
identified as high priority corridors
The Plan identifies 126 pedestrian
intersections where pedestrian
improvements are recommended, 15
of which are identified as high priority
intersections
12/2/2024 21
The plan includes high priority projects, several of
which have projects underway.

AM0 1 [@Carrie Modi] this now covers high priority bike and ped (minus the intersection at Jefferson and Callan which Susie marked as a completed project). I checked off ped if there is an intersection on that street under high priority
