6:40	5	International Boulevard Quick-Build Project Update (40 minutes) Brian Sukkar and Joe Wang from OakDOT’s Safe Streets Division and Traffic Engineering Section will provide brief updates on the AC Transit International Boulevard Quick Build Project which will be constructed this summer. To deter unauthorized driving in Tempo’s bus only lanes and enhance safety for passengers, Bus Operators, motorists, and pedestrians, AC Transit secured a $400,000 “Quick Strike” grant. This funding spearheaded the Quick Build preliminary study and the implementation of safety measures along an eight-block section of International Boulevard from 14th to 42nd Avenues. The City of Oakland has contributed an additional $1.7 million to expand the project to 107th Avenue, with a focus on locations that have been identified by the city as being prone to severe and fatal crashes.
