At the November 7, 2024 BPAC Infrastructure Committee meeting, Jason Patton, Oakland DOT provided an update to a previous discussion at the June 2019 Infrastructure Committee meeting, identifying opportunity locations for upgrading existing curbside buffered (Class II) bike lanes to physically separated (Class IV) bikeways. Staff provided an update on progress to date, upcoming projects, and future opportunities.
An excerpt is below, followed by the presentation, and notes (forthcoming) from the presentation and discussion.
In early May, OakDOT staff Jason Cook shared the 2021 Citywide Striping Project draft plans with the BPAC Infrastructure Committee. These plans were shared through email and not presented at an Infrastructure Committee meeting.
“The 2021 Citywide Striping Project consists of a series of enhancements and green markings to existing bike lanes throughout Oakland. We had funding become available that needs to be encumbered before the end of the fiscal year and saw this as an opportunity to put together a striping project.” –Jason Cook
“These are relatively small projects, mostly filling in bikeway gaps or adding on to and upgrading existing bike lanes. These projects do not include paving, curb ramps, posts, or other non-striping elements.” –Robert Prinz (Infrastructure Committee co-chair)
The project areas are:
35th Ave from International Blvd to Foothill Blvd
MacArthur Blvd from Boston Ave to Coolidge Ave
Washington St from 2nd St to 9th St
Market St at 7th St
E 12th St at 16th Ave
E 12th St at 22nd Ave
E 12th St at 29th Ave
W MacArthur Blvd from San Pablo Ave to 500ft west of Market St
The draft striping plan and comments by Robert Prinz and Dianne Yee are below.
