The project will focus on safety and rail reliability measures, including the reconstruction of all intersection railroad crossings and new fencing along the railroad tracks to separate trains from other road users, streetscape improvements that will create a more welcoming, walkable corridor, and a multi-use trail on the waterfront side of the street.

6	4:55	AC Transit Board Policy 501 Update (20 minutes) AC Transit currently operates across more than 20 cities and unincorporated areas in Alameda County and the East Bay, serving a network of 5,600 bus stops throughout its service area. Bus Stops represent the “front door” to AC Transit’s service and decisions regarding their placement and condition affect riders’ access to the service as well as the operation of the service itself. AC Transit Board Policy No. 501: Bus Stop Guidelines, sets forth AC Transit’s guidelines for future bus stop placement regarding spacing, location, and accessibility. The policy is due for its five-year update to clarify bus stop policy elements aligning with the needs and preferences of AC Transit riders and to reflect the latest in best practices and customer needs. Specifically, the goals of this update include making the policy more customer-focused, addressing safety concerns that affect bus stop placement, and ensuring rider access to the District’s service network.
