Alameda CTC Rail Safety Enhancement Program-Phase A, Cedar Street, Addison Street, Bancroft Way

The project proposes safety improvements to three existing at-grade rail crossings on Cedar Street, Addison Street, and Bancroft Way in the City of Berkeley in Alameda County. The improvements are designed to increase safety for motorists and pedestrians. Currently all three crossings consist of two-lane streets with paved median, sidewalks, and landscaping. Single-arm gates are present in each direction of traffic. Safety improvements include restricting access to Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) tracks, improving signage, accessibility improvements, and other safety features. The safety improvements will require the construction of new driveway access to adjacent parcels. Additional improvements include new roadside signs, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) detectable pavers, “No Trespassing” signs, and security access gates/fencing.
