Alameda CTC Rail Safety Enhancement Program - Phase A, San Leandro

The project proposes safety improvements to eight existing at-grade rail crossings on Marina Boulevard, Washington Avenue, and Hesperian Boulevard in the City of San Leandro; Lewelling Boulevard in Unincorporated Alameda County; and Leidig Court, Tennyson High-School Pedestrian Crossing, Tennyson Road, and Industrial Parkway in the City of Hayward. Site conditions vary between crossings. The Hesperian Boulevard, Lewelling Boulevard, and Industrial Parkway crossings take place on major arterials while the rest of the crossings are located on one- or two-lane streets. Each crossing location is paved and surrounded by walls or fencing. The existing railroad crossings include single-arm gates (one in each direction of traffic), a warning device, concrete crossing panels, and street lighting. Safety improvements at the crossings would include installation new security gates/fencing, medians, pavement markings, automatic pedestrian gates, and roadside signals. Additional improvements include Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) detectable pavers, warning devices, “No Trespassing” signs, replacement of signal arms, and installation of new sidewalks.
