From Pop-Up to Permanent: Speak Up for San Leandro Protected Bikeways

Author: Bike East Bay

Date: November 17, 2022


San Leandro’s Crosstown Corridors cycletrack projects are going to City Council for approval this Monday, November 21, and we need your help to get them across the finish line!

This summer we partnered with staff from the City of San Leandro, staff from the consulting firm Fehr & Peers, as well as community advocates and volunteers to lead bike rides, open houses, and an amazing three pop-up bikeways in one day, collecting input on bikeway proposals for Bancroft Ave and Williams Street. The outcome of this work was a proposal for permanent, 2-way protected cycletrack installations on each street, spanning the city from north to south and from east to west, connected by the on-street East Bay Greenway project also in the works.

San Leandro City Council will be voting this Monday, November 21, on whether to adopt the corridor study and direct staff to move forward with further project design and implementation.
