BACKGROUND
The current edition of the San Leandro Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan ("Plan") was adopted by the City Council in February 2011. The Plan outlines existing and proposed bicycle paths, lanes and routes, and it is the official policy document guiding the development of facilities to enhance bicycling as an additional and appropriate transportation choice within the City.
This project will construct most of the proposed bicycle lanes and bicycle routes east of the BART tracks that have not yet been installed. Work also includes the installation of green bike lanes for the first time in San Leandro. Green bike lanes are proposed for busy intersections at key locations to make the bike lanes more apparent to drivers.
