Subject:Resolution of Local Support for Regional Safe Routes to School funds for Port Chicago Highway/Willow Pass Road
Bike & Ped Improvement Project
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Project Description
The Port Chicago Highway/Willow Pass Road Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Project includes the
installation of a bike lane, sidewalk, curb and gutter, curb ramps, and pedestrian actuated flashers to increase
safety for pedestrians and improve access to schools, trails and transit in a Community of Concern. The project
will install improvements along a 1,400 foot stretch of roadway located west of the Bay Point BART station and
east of three public schools where Port Chicago Highway intersects Willow Pass Road. The project will improve
access to the Delta De Anza Trail providing proximate access to the adjacent Priority Development Area along
Bailey Road.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
A negative action will eliminate a potential funding opportunity and delay implementation of improvements.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
