3. Project Description:
The proposed Park Boulevard Area Improvements focuses on crossing and access
improvements for pedestrians and bicyclists at three key locations along Park Boulevard.

Project Purpose: The purpose of the improvements are to improve the ability for school-age
children and their parents to walk and/or bike from surrounding neighborhoods to the
adjacent schools including Edna Brewer Middle School, Glenview Elementary, Oakland High
School and Bella Vista Elementary School. In addition to these schools, there are a number
of schools within one mile of these improvements that are also expected to benefit from
improvements along Park Boulevard. These include Bret Harte Middle, Manzanita
Community, Sequoia Elementary, Crocker Highlands Elementary, Redwood Day, Fruitvale
Elementary, Head-Royce School, and Cleveland Elementary.
Project Need: Park Boulevard is a notable barrier to pedestrians and bicyclists primarily due
its size and the complexity of the intersections at which pedestrians and bicyclists are
required to cross. Park Boulevard varies in width of 65 to 80 feet for pedestrians to cross.
The improvements included in the proposed project focus on facilitating crossing Park
Boulevard through the use of treatments such as curb extensions, signal modifications,
pedestrian hybrid beacon and other similar improvements. The intersections at which
improvements are noted below aimed modifications to better manage and reduce conflicts
at the intersections. For example, proposed improvements discussed below include
removing right-turn slip-lanes to reduce the number of conflicts between vehicles and
pedestrians as well as slow vehicle speeds through the intersection.
Project Scope of Work: Figures 1, 2, and 3 (beginning on the following page) illustrate the
scope of the proposed project by calling out the specific proposed improvements at each
location. The following provides a brief written summary of the proposed improvements at
each location. The funds obtained for this project would be used for PE phase of project
development.
Park Boulevard/Grosvenor Place/Excelsior Avenue
o Install curb extensions to shorten crossings for pedestrians.
o Extend the curb on the east leg of the intersection to create one-way
westbound egress access only from Excelsior Avenue to Park Boulevard.
Bicyclists would be allowed to continue to travel both directions on
Excelsior; access would only be restricted for motorized vehicles.
o Install bicycle lanes along Grosvenor Place; this primarily consists of
restriping the roadway.
o Install pedestrian countdown signal heads to facilitate pedestrian
crossing.
o Modify the signal timing to include pedestrian- and bicycle-only phase to
allow crossings only along the painted crosswalks during the phase. The
intersection was deemed too wide to allow for a pedestrian scramble
that would permit crossing the intersection diagonally as a pedestrian.
Park Boulevard/ E 38th Street / 13th Avenue
o Reconfigure the intersection to improve crossing abilities for pedestrians
and bicyclists; reduce and better manage conflicts; and improve overall
operations.
o Reconfiguration includes closing 13
th
Avenue access to Park Boulevard,
and removing the slip right-turn lanes from minor streets onto Park
Boulevard.
o Additional improvements include extend median along Park Boulevard to
prevent eastbound vehicles from turning onto Greenwood Ave, install
curb extensions, expand pedestrian refuge island, and install a pedestrian
hybrid beacon (i.e., HAWK) for Park Boulevard crosswalk.
Park Boulevard at El Centro Avenue and Everett Avenue
o Install rectangular rapid-flashing beacons at Park Boulevard crosswalks,
repaint transverse crosswalks as ladder-style, and install push button
actuation for existing overhead flashing beacons.
4. Project Status: The proposed project was identified through discussions with stakeholders
and assessed at a preliminary level. The project has not been through an environmental
clearance process, design plans have not been developed, and right of-way certification
has not been obtained.

III. Screening Criteria
III. SCREENING CRITERIA
1. Demonstrated Needs of the Applicant
The primary purpose of the proposed project is to improve walking and biking access to
Edna Brewer Middle School, Glenview Elementary, Oakland High School and Bella Vista
Elementary School. The width of Park Boulevard and complexity of some of the
intersections is currently a barrier to easy pedestrian and bicycle access from one side to
the other. The proposed improvements along Park Boulevard address three critical
locations that will facilitate access for walking and biking and thereby enable more students
and parents to walk and/or bike to school. Several of the improvements such as the
pedestrian hybrid beacon and rectangular rapid flashing beacon (RRFB) will improve
mobility and quality of service for pedestrians and bicyclists by reducing delay they
experience when crossing Park Boulevard. Several of the improvements will also help
reduce the risk of pedestrian and bicycle crashes by reducing the number of conflicts with
vehicles and reducing vehicle speed (e.g., improvements proposed at Park Boulevard/E 38
th

Street/13
th
Avenue).
2. Consistency with Regional Transportation Plan
The improvements proposed for Park Boulevard are consistent with the policies and
objectives of the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The Metropolitan Transportation
Commission (MTC) Transportation 2035 Plan specifically calls out the intent to implement
bicycle and pedestrian projects and programs in Alameda County and including local
jurisdictions within the County (general project reference number 22007). Improvements
along Park Boulevard and to cross Park Boulevard are also consistent with the City of
Oaklands Pedestrian Master Plan within which Park Boulevard is identified as a designated
III. Screening Criteria
pedestrian route. The improvements are also consistent with Bicycle Master Plan within
which Park Boulevard is identified as an Arterial Class Bicycle Route that is crossed by design
Bike Boulevard such as Excelsior. Improvements such as those described above at Park
Boulevard/Grosvenor Place/Excelsior Avenue intersection are integral pieces to improving
connectivity for access to the schools noted above as well as overall bicycle network
connectivity.
IV. Narrative Questions: Q1 Q8
IV. NARRATIVE QUESTIONS: Q1 Q8
Q1. POTENTIAL FOR INCREASED WALKING AND BICYCLING, ESPECIALLY
AMONG STUDENTS, INCLUDING THE IDENTIFICATION OF WALKING AND
BICYCLING ROUTES TO AND FROM SCHOOLS, TRANSIT FACILITIES, COMMUNITY
CENTERS, EMPLOYMENT CENTERS, AND OTHER DESTINATIONS; AND
INCLUDING INCREASING AND IMPROVING CONNECTIVITY AND MOBILITY OF
NON-MOTORIZED USERS. (0-30 POINTS)
The potential for increased walking and biking due to the proposed improvements can be
estimated using the Live/Go Analysis conducted by Oakland Unified School District (OUSD). The
Live/Go Analysis summarizes the number of students enrolled within a given schools attendance
area and the number of students regularly walking and biking to school. Given the size of the
attendance areas, it is generally assumed that students within a schools service area live
sufficiently close to walk or bike to school if adequate walking and biking facilities are present. The
difference between the number of students currently walking or biking and students within the
service area but not walking or biking represent the potential for increased walking and/or biking
to the school.
The proposed Park Boulevard improvements will directly benefit Glenview Elementary, Edna
Brewer Middle School and Bella Vista Elementary. Live/Go analysis for Glenview Elementary
indicates the potential to increase walking and biking to school by approximately 65%. This
corresponds to having an additional 163 students walking and/or biking to school to reach a total of
252 of the 466 students enrolled at Glenview Elementary. Walking and biking data was not
available for Edna Brewer Middle School. Live/Go Analysis for Edna Brewer Middle School does
indicate the potential for up to 260 of the 813 students (i.e., 32% of students) enrolled to walk or
bike to school based on the proximity of where they live relative to school. The data available for
Bella Vista Elementary indicates a potential shift of 13% to walking and/or biking increasing the
total student population walking and/or biking regularly to school from 171 to 197 students of the
505 currently enrolled. Attached to this application are the Live/Go maps for Glenview Elementary,
Edna Brewer Middle School, and Bella Vista Elementary.
Collectively, the proposed Park Boulevard improvements facilitate crossings of Park Boulevard at
key locations (e.g., 38
th
Street, Excelsior Avenue) for pedestrians and bicyclists. As a four- to five-
lane road, Park Boulevard can be a notable barrier to walking or biking especially for school age
children and/or parents with school age children. The grade on Park Boulevard also can create
higher than posted vehicle speeds making it important to have crossings with highly visible
treatments (e.g., RRFBs) and more controlled crossings (e.g., pedestrian hybrid beacon) to reduce
the risk to pedestrians and bicyclists crossing Park Boulevard. The proposed improvements on Park
Boulevard combined with the schools participation in Safe Routes to School Program activities
(e.g., bike to school day) enhance the potential for increased walking and biking to school.
Q2. POTENTIAL FOR REDUCING THE NUMBER AND/OR RATE OF PEDESTRIAN
AND BICYCLIST FATALITIES AND INJURIES, INCLUDING THE IDENTIFICATION OF
SAFETY HAZARDS FOR PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLISTS. (0-25 POINTS)
Historic crash data from 2009 through 2011 shows a number of reported vehicle-pedestrian and/or
vehicle-bicycle crashes at the locations along Park Boulevard that are proposed for improvement. A
vehicle-pedestrian crash was reported at the Park Boulevard/El Centro intersection. There was also
a reported vehicle-pedestrian crash near the Park Boulevard/38
th
Street/13
th
Street intersection. A
vehicle-pedestrian crash was reported adjacent to the Park Boulevard/Grosvenor Place /Excelsior
Avenue intersection and a vehicle-pedestrian crash reported at the intersection.
The following describes how the proposed improvements will reduce the risk of vehicle-pedestrian
and vehicle-bicycle crash frequency and severity.
The improvements proposed for this location are coordinated to reduce pedestrian and bicyclists
exposure to vehicles. The curb extensions will shorten the crossing distance for pedestrians
reducing their exposure to vehicle traffic and helping to reduce vehicle speeds through the
intersection. The partial closer of Excelsior Avenue to vehicle traffic will reduce the number of
vehicle conflicts at the intersection and risk to pedestrians and bicyclists. The bicycle lanes on
Grosvenor Place will help to separate bicyclists from moving vehicles and will also visually reduce
the width of the vehicle travel-way also helping to reduce vehicle speeds. The signal timing
modifications to provide pedestrians and bicyclists their own crossing phase at the intersection will
help reduce exposure to crashes by eliminating conflicts with vehicles turning left and right during
traditional crossing phases.
The intersection reconfiguration will help manage vehicle speeds and conflicts by reducing the
number of approaches and eliminating the right-turn slip lanes. The right-turn slip lanes, while
beneficial for vehicle mobility increase pedestrians exposure to vehicles and also enables higher
speed turning movements onto Park Boulevard. The current configuration with multiple skewed
approaches is also difficult to navigate as any road user. Closing some of the approaches will help
simplify and focus road users decisions whether traveling as a motorist, pedestrian and bicyclist.
The additional treatments such as extending median along Park Boulevard to prevent eastbound
vehicles from turning onto Greenwood Avenue further support the intent of reconfiguring and
closing some of the approaches to the intersection. The curb extensions and expanding the
pedestrian refuge island will help reduce pedestrian exposure to vehicles by shortening the
crossing distance and provided a protected space to wait to cross the roadway. Finally, installing a
pedestrian hybrid beacon (i.e., HAWK) to facilitate crossing Park Boulevard will help reduce delay,
frustration and potentially risky crossing behavior by pedestrians. It will also provide a more
controlled crossing environment to help school age children identify clearly when it is safe to cross.
The RRFBs proposed for the Park Boulevard crosswalks combined with restriping the existing
transverse crosswalks as ladder-style, and installing push button actuation for existing overhead
flashing beacons will enhance the visibility of crosswalks to motorists. The enhanced visibility will
help slow vehicle speeds and increase yielding to pedestrians waiting to cross.
Q3. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND PLANNING (0-15 POINTS)
The proposed improvements for Park Boulevard were identified through a walking audit with
agency and community stakeholders. During the 2012-2013 academic year, TransForm led a
walking audit of roads near the Glenview Elementary School, Edna Brewer Middle School and Bella
Vista Elementary School with parents of students, schools administrators and members of the
nearby neighborhood. Transform is a nonprofit organization that promotes walkable communities
with viable transportation options. The walk audit summary figures are attached to this application.
The proposed project cost for the Park Boulevard improvements is more than $1 million; it is
estimated to be $1,147,000.
Q4. COST EFFECTIVENESS (0-10 POINTS)
Alternatives Considered
In addition to the proposed improvements, additional potential treatments were identified as part
of the walking audits noted in response to Question 3. The walk audit summaries for Edna Brewer
Middle School, Glenview Elementary, and Bella Vista Elementary are attached to this application
and illustrate the range of what was previously identified.
This application focuses on the Park Boulevard improvements at the locations noted above because
they provide direct benefits to two elementary schools, one middle school and a high school. They
also address crossing difficulties of a notable barrier, Park Boulevard, and do so with effective
lower to moderate cost improvements that fit the context of the roadway and surrounding
neighborhood (e.g., at-grade, non-intrusive to adjacent neighbors while effective at demanding
motorists attention, meet established warrants). For example, prior to proposing a pedestrian
hybrid beacon as part of the improvements, a traffic signal was considered. However, the traffic
signal did not meet California MUTCD volume warrants.
Other improvements from the walking audits that are not included in this application are those
that are sufficiently low cost they can be implemented as part of on-going maintenance and/or
they overlap with areas or corridors that have been programmed for further study or improvement
as part of a larger capital improvement.
Benefit/Cost Ratio
The calculated benefit/cost ratio for the Park Boulevard Area Improvements is 2.15 for both the
total project cost and program requested funds.
The project cost estimate was developed using unit costs and quantities for materials anticipated
to be used to construct the proposed improvements. We added an 18% increase to account for
preliminary engineering, 12% increase for construction, and a 10% contingency. The total
estimated cost is $1,147,000 to construct the project. A detailed breakdown of the cost estimate is
attached to this application.
We estimated the benefits associated with the project using information from the report
Evaluating Active Transport Benefits and Costs by Todd Litman (available at http://vtpi.org/nmt-
tdm.pdf). This report contains a number of user benefits associated with shifting modes from
driving to walking and biking (e.g., improved fitness and health) as well as the benefits associated
with reduced vehicle use (e.g., pollution reduction). We used the values in Table 16, Table 17,and
Table 18 of the above report to estimate the benefits associated with improved walking and cycling
conditions, health benefits, and reduced motor vehicle travel. Table 1 presents the assumptions
from the above report and results of the benefit calculations for the Park Boulevard improvements.

consistent with current Federal Discount Rate.
Q5. IMPROVED PUBLIC HEALTH (0-10 POINTS)
One of the goals of SRTS projects and programs is to improve public health by teaching children
how to integrate exercise into their everyday activities. The individual students walking and biking
to school experience the most meaningful and direct health benefits. These habits can in-turn
influence family members and friends in their travel behavior and level of activity on a daily basis.
At a very large scale, increased walking and biking in replace of driving improves air quality for a
community and collectively creates a healthier environment.
The proposed improvements along Park Boulevard will help increase walking and biking among
students and in-turn provide health benefits to those children and direct school communities.
Table 1 summarizes the current student health statistics for Glenview Elementary, Bella Vista
Elementary and Edna Brewer Elementary School all of which will directly benefit from the proposed
improvements. The information shown in Table 2 is based on data collected in the 2012-2013
California Healthy Kids Survey.

Glenview Elementary 63% 36% 9%
Bella Vista Elementary 55% 17% 9%
Edna Brewer Middle

As shown in Table 2, students at each school would benefit from increased physical activity to
enable improved fitness levels to pass the physical fitness test and increase the percentage of
students with a healthy body weight. Increased walking and biking to school can help achieve
increased level of fitness and also ingrain longer term healthy habits.
Q6. BENEFIT TO DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES (0-10 POINTS)
The proposed Park Boulevard improvements will benefit three different student populations that
range with respect to degree of disadvantaged from 52.0% to 82.6%. This percentage is based on
the percentage of students receiving free or reduced lunch at the school. The combined percentage
of students receiving free or reduced lunch across the three schools is 65.8% (i.e., 1,174 of 1,784
students). The project will benefit a substantial number of disadvantaged students by enabling
them to more safely and efficiently cross Park Boulevard to reach the schools noted in Table 3.

The project will provide improved access for students to be able to walk and/or bike to school at Glenview
Elementary, Edna Brewer Middle School and Bella Vista Elementary. The treatments proposed address key
crossing locations. They will reduce delay for pedestrians and/or bicyclists crossing Park Boulevard, reduce
exposure to vehicles, increase visibility, slow vehicle speeds, and improve access while reducing risk of

Purpose: The purpose of the improvements are to improve the ability for school-age children and their parents
to walk and/or bike from surrounding neighborhoods to the adjacent schools including Edna Brewer Middle
School, Glenview Elementary, Oakland High School and Bella Vista Elementary School. In addition to these
schools, there are a number of schools within one mile of these improvements that are also expected to benefit
from improvements along Park Boulevard. These include Bret Harte Middle, Manzanita Community, Sequoia
Elementary, Crocker Highlands Elementary, Redwood Day, Fruitvale Elementary, Head-Royce School, and
Cleveland Elementary.

Additional Information
Additional Information Regarding Project Description and Scope: The following provides a brief written
summary of the proposed improvements at each location. The funds obtained for this project would be used for
PE phase of project development.
o Install curb extensions to shorten crossings for pedestrians.
o Extend the curb on the east leg of the intersection to create one-way westbound egress access only from
Excelsior Avenue to Park Boulevard. Bicyclists would be allowed to continue to travel both directions on
Excelsior; access would only be restricted for motorized vehicles.
o Install bicycle lanes along Grosvenor Place; this primarily consists of restriping the roadway.
o Install pedestrian countdown signal heads to facilitate pedestrian crossing.
o Modify the signal timing to include pedestrian- and bicycle-only phase to allow crossings only along the
painted crosswalks during the phase. The intersection was deemed too wide to allow for a pedestrian scramble
that would permit crossing the intersection diagonally as a pedestrian.
o Reconfigure the intersection to improve crossing abilities for pedestrians and bicyclists; reduce and better
manage conflicts; and improve overall operations.
o Reconfiguration includes closing 13th Avenue access to Park Boulevard, and removing the slip right-turn
lanes from minor streets onto Park Boulevard.
o Additional improvements include extend median along Park Boulevard to prevent eastbound vehicles from
turning onto Greenwood Ave, install curb extensions, expand pedestrian refuge island, and install a pedestrian
hybrid beacon (i.e., HAWK) for Park Boulevard crosswalk.
o Install rectangular rapid-flashing beacons at Park Boulevard crosswalks, repaint transverse crosswalks as
ladder-style, and install push button actuation for existing overhead flashing beacons.

Additional Information Regarding Project Need:
Park Boulevard is a notable barrier to pedestrians and bicyclists primarily due its size and the complexity of the
intersections at which pedestrians and bicyclists are required to cross. Park Boulevard varies in width of 65 to
80 feet for pedestrians to cross. The improvements included in the proposed project focus on facilitating
crossing Park Boulevard through the use of treatments such as curb extensions, signal modifications,
pedestrian hybrid beacon and other similar improvements. The intersections at which improvements are noted
below aimed modifications to better manage and reduce conflicts at the intersections. For example, proposed
improvements discussed below include removing right-turn slip-lanes to reduce the number of conflicts
between vehicles and pedestrians as well as slow vehicle speeds through the intersection.

May 19, 2014
Mr. Fred Blackwell
City Administrator
1 Frank Ogawa Plaza, 3rd Floor
Oakland, CA 94612

Dear Mr. Blackwell:
On behalf of the City of Oakland Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) I am very pleased to
recommend all of the Citys proposed projects for the Active Transportation Program funding, which
includes both the Safe Routes to Schools set aside, as well as projects eligible for general Active
Transportation Program funds. The BPAC reviewed the City of Oaklands proposed Active Transportation
Program submissions on Thursday, May 15, and agree that the proposed project fulfills the needs of
critical improvements that benefit the most dangerous intersections around schools, closes critical gaps
that improve walking and bicycling experiences of the most vulnerable roadway users, and meets the
challenge of improving access to some of our most socio-economically disadvantaged communities.

The projects proposed are as follows:

1. International Boulevard Bus Rapid Transit Supportive Pedestrian Projects
Median Pedestrian Refuges at International/Hegenberger and at International/98th
Corridor-wide Pedestrian Lighting and Sidewalk Repair
2. Lake Merritt/Bay Trail Bicycle Pedestrian Bridge
3. Laurel Access to Mills, Maxwell Park and Seminary Ave Active Transportation Project
4. Safe Routes to School Projects
Park Boulevard Area Improvements for Safe Routes to Schools

International Boulevard Projects
With the East Bay Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project funded to be implemented on International Boulevard
over the next few years, it is critical to ensure that residents in Central and East Oakland have safe
access to this important new transit facility. The proposals will augment the improvements already
programmed by the AC Transits BRT Project by extending lighting and sidewalk repair beyond the
individual BRT stations along the entire corridor. In addition, median pedestrian refuges at busy cross
streets will allow the elderly and disabled to cross wide busy streets safely. This corridor, which includes
some of the most disadvantaged communities in Oakland desperately needs investments that make the
streets safer for all users.

Lake Merritt/Bay Trail Bicycle Pedestrian Bridge
This multi-use trail project will provide a critical missing link between a rejuvenated Lake Merritt with
the waterfront Bay Trail. It will provide an alternative to dangerous and often illegal crossings of train
tracks and busy roadways. And for the first time will allow both recreational and commute access
between downtown and waterfront neighborhoods at the very center of the City. The request is for
design development and right of way phases of this multi-million dollar project.

Laurel Access to Mills, Maxwell Park and Seminary Ave Active Transportation Plan
This project will complete the design and construction of a multi-use path along a very busy arterial
street and underneath a freeway, opening safe access from disadvantaged Oaklands flatlands
neighborhoods to neighborhood commercial area, Mills College, and the Laurel district. This is both a
bike and pedestrian project that has strong community support.

Safe Routes to Schools Projects
These projects will improve safety in the vicinity of Oakland public schools, encouraging more students
to walk and bike to work. All of these projects specifically benefit neighborhood schools, but also serve
the general Oakland population by calming traffic and adding pedestrian bulbouts, sidewalks and plazas
in areas of high vehicle/pedestrian conflict. Several of these projects are in disadvantaged
neighborhoods.

We believe all of these projects will provide important benefits to the citizens of Oakland, and are
pleased to endorse them. BPAC looks forward to working closely with the City of Oakland to fulfill the
mission of the Active Transportation Program. Thank you for your support of sustainable and
multimodal development in our community.

Sincerely,

Chris Hwang, BPAC Chair
