At the March 7, 2024 BPAC Infrastructure Committee meeting, City of Oakland Department of Transportation (OakDOT) staff in the Great Streets Division, Planning and Project Development Section will provide an update regarding the status of the LAMMPS and Seminary Avenue Projects. The upper segment of the Seminary Avenue Paving Project will become LAMMPS Phase 3, a Class I path from Camden Street to Sunnymere Avenue, and the lower segment from Foothill Boulevard to Camden Street will continue as a paving project with pedestrian and traffic calming improvements.
At the June 16, 2022 BPAC meeting, OakDOT Transportation Planners Charlie Ream and Celina Chan presented on two projects, the 66th Ave Coliseum BART to Bay Trail project and the Laurel Access to Mills, Maxwell Park & Seminary (LAMMPS) – Phase 2 project (this post).
These projects and the 27th St Bay Pl Project which was heard at the May BPAC meeting was submitted as One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) applications for the June 30, 2022 deadline. Staff requested the commission review the checklists attached for each of the three projects and share comments back to Charlie Ream by June 23, 2022.
