The San Leandro BART-Downtown Pedestrian Interface project transformed an uninspiring expanse of asphalt and concrete in front of the San Leandro Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station into a vibrant urban streetscape well prepared for future high-density transit-oriented development planned for the surrounding area. Pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists all benefit from these improvements. The original seven vehicle lanes were reduced to five to create space for the installation of on-street parking, class 2 bike lanes, and wider pedestrian sidewalks. New accessible pedestrian ramps were installed along with bulbouts and ornamental crosswalks at street intersections. A high-quality aesthetic environment was also created with additional landscape medians, sidewalk planter islands, street trees, decorative street lights with pedestrian scale fixtures, and wayfaring signage. The BART-Downtown Pedestrian Interface project is the first project to be implemented as part of the City’s Downtown Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Strategy. This strategy, created with a grant award from

The Southgate neighborhood is a 41-acre single-family residential tract that was developed in the 1920’s that originally was designed to flow solely on surface gutter flows which were directed to a single storm drain inlet. The gutter surface drainage did no longer work due to deteriorated street conditions causing severe localized ponding during rain events. The primary objectives of the Southgate Neighborhood Sustainable Green Street Project were: 1) to address the storm drainage deficiencies within the Southgate neighborhood by improving the street surface drainage system, 2) to utilize innovative and sustainable techniques that minimize storm runoff and improve storm water quality, and 3) to become one of the pilot “Green Street” projects within the Bay Area. This project was in fact the second Green Street project constructed within Santa Clara County. “Green streets” incorporate low impact development techniques for site design and storm water treatment, including minimization of impervious area,

What’s a complete Streets?  In Trinity County, Complete Streets meant finding the easiest way between A and B, Right?  This has always in the past been the extent of consideration when constructing a frontier rural highway in California’s remote areas.  Now Complete Streets means something new and more important. Lance Gulch Road (LGR) is a new 1.4 mile minor arterial road constructed east of Weaverville.  Opened Oct. 2015, this multi model road provides better circulation, improves safety, reduces vehicle miles traveled, and better serving residential areas and Trinity’s largest employer, Trinity River Lumber Mill.  Also included, a bicycle lane, and a sidewalk that are heavily used, considered by many to be the new road’s best amenity.  Further, it proved easier access to the solid waste facility, STAA trucks, and new route options for transit.  It represents a new way of thinking in Trinity as to what is important in building

The Westfield Street Rehabilitation Project serves as an example of Efficient and Sustainable Road Maintenance and Reconstruction. 1. This project was a substantial improvement to the City of West Sacramento’s transportation infrastructure and can be quantified as: • 585,000 square feet of chip sealed roadway • 1,207,000 square feet or 19 lane-miles of slurry sealed roadway • 1,486 tons hot mix asphalt placed in repairing failed pavement • 3,283 linear feet of curb & gutter reconstructed for proper drainage • 18 ADA ramps upgrade for pedestrian access • Resurfaced Sacramento River boat launch parking lot for the City Parks Department 2. The project spanned three corners of the West Sacramento geographically and adjacent to a multitude of land uses including industrial, commercial, residential, and recreational areas. Further complexities include the variety of pavement rehabilitation and preservation treatments specified, including: • Type A HMA for leveling course • Type C “Intersection

Sun City is a master-planned community for senior citizens over age 55 within the City of Menifee. The four square mile residential community has a private HOA and is closed to members-only, but the commercial center is open to the public. Originally built in 1960, the Sun City Community of Menifee was one of four “Sun Cities” originally designed by Del Webb. The Sun City “Core” is Located on the west side of Interstate 215 (I-215), near the heart of the City. The community has a recent estimated population of some 17,770 residents in approximately 8,750 households. The age restricted area of the Core creates a strong sense of community among the residents. The community is served by a shopping center that was originally partially built by Del Webb and was part of the Sun City development. The center was originally known as the Sun City Shopping Center, but changed

The Antelope Road Safe Routes to School project’s is apart of the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP 15-05) and the main scope was to provide safe and adequate pedestrian access to the Romoland Elementary School in a marginalized area of the City that is considered a disadvantaged community, and is one of the city’s low-moderate income areas where 91% of the youth attending Romoland Elementary School are on free and reduced lunches with no transportation services. The existing road conditions consisted of a two lane road approximately 22 feet wide with dirt shoulders and poor signage. School children would sometimes walk alongside the road to get to school and were at serious risk for casualties or injuries. The project constructed the following improvements: 1. Widened the existing road width to 40’ to include street parking. 2.Constructed curb, gutter and sidewalk on both sides of Antelope Road and on the south
