Upper Telegraph Ave Complete Streets Design

At the November 7, 2024 BPAC Infrastructure Committee meeting, Cathy DeLuca, Oakland DOT staff, provided an update on the Upper Telegraph Avenue Complete Streets Project (52nd St to Woolsey St), including information on the decision to move forward with a 4-to-3 Lane Road Diet design alternative.

Design options

  • Option 1: 4-to-3 Lane Road Diet + Separated Bike Lanes
  • Option 2: Bus-Only Lanes + Separated Bike Lanes

Design decision considerations

  • Project Delivery Constraints
  • Traffic Operations
  • Transit Operations
  • Safety
  • Accessibility
  • Commercial Parking & Loading
  • Equity Considerations
  • Public Feedback
  • City Policy Alignment

For most outreach, opinions were evenly split:

  • Survey
  • Farmer’s Market
  • Open House (slight preference for Option 1)

Selected design

  • 4-to-3 Lane Road Diet + Separated Bike Lanes
    • More safety benefits, more accessibility benefits, less impact on small businesses

The presentation is below, followed by notes (forthcoming) from the presentation and discussion.
