At the July 3, 2025 BPAC Infrastructure Committee meeting, OakDOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Program staff will present draft recommendations for a Slow Streets network in Oakland. Slow Streets were initially an OakDOT innovation during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide physically distanced outdoor spaces for residents. Staff are taking lessons learned from the pandemic and applying them to Oakland’s work-to-date developing bike boulevards and neighborhood bike routes (NBRs). Staff are proposing these routes be re-envisioned as slow streets for travel at human-powered speeds while simultaneously making these streets more welcoming for residents to use as public spaces. The presentation explains the purpose, planning criteria, and methodology for developing the draft Slow Streets network. View the interactive web map of the draft Slow Streets network.
