Rockridge BART ‘Safe Routes to Transit’ Project Proposed; City Wants Feedback by Oct 16

The city of Oakland is proposing improvements to bicycle and walking access to the Rockridge BART station. The Transportation Services Division will host a meeting Wednesday, September 30, 7:30-9 p.m. at the Rockridge Library to present preliminary plans and to hear comments from Rockridge residents and business owners.

The goal of the project, which is in an early design stage, is to improve safety and accessibility for walking on streets near the BART station and to provide cyclists dedicated space on College Avenue between Broadway and Alcatraz Avenue.

Funding for the project is provided by Caldecott Settlement Agreement funds and a Safe Routes to Transit grant.

If you have any questions, please contact the City’s outreach consultant, Victoria Eisen, at victoria@eisenletunic.com or 510/525-0220.
