At the October 15, 2026 BPAC meeting, Andre Soucy and Eamon Jahouach, from Funding Strategy at OakDOT, will present on a transportation grant funding opportunity this fall.

These types of improvements have the additional benefit of improving conditions for people walking, biking, rolling, or driving across at-grade railroad crossings. OakDOT requests BPAC feedback on prioritization of 3 of 5 potential railroad crossing intersection improvements on San Leandro Street for this grant application. OakDOT staff will be requesting BPAC to consider writing letters of support. Applications are due in mid-November, and the awards are expected to be announced in June 2027.
