III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background: (Cont.)
The Oakley Area Sidewalks project consists of installing new sidewalks where none currently
exist, and will install curb ramps at the intersections. This work will be done only on the residential
streets in the older part of Oakley. The completion of the sidewalks and curb ramps in this area
will facilitate access by disabled pedestrians and children going to the Oakley Elementary School.
The Alves Lane Sidewalk project consists of installing a 725 linear feet sidewalk along the west
side of Alves Lane. This new sidewalk will connect the existing sections of the sidewalk and
complete the sidewalk from Virginia Street to Willow Pass Road. The proposed sidewalk will
provide safe pedestrian passage along the west side of Alves Lane.
The Clearland Drive Median Islands project consists of constructing a median island on Clearland
Drive from Willow Pass Road south to Clearland Circle. The completion of this median island will
define traffic lanes, slow traffic and improve the safety for pedestrians.
The Vaqueros Avenue project consists of constructing 660 feet of curb and sidewalk along the
west side of the street and extend the paving to the new curb. This is the first phase of a three-
phase project to construct a sidewalk along Vaqueros Avenue between Fourth Street and Seventh
Street.
The Pacifica Avenue Bike Lanes project consists of widening Pacifica Avenue between Driftwood
Drive and the Shore Acres Elementary School and will stripe all of Pacifica Avenue to include bike
lanes. Bike Lane signs will be installed along Port Chicago Highway between Willow Pass Road
and Pacifica Avenue and along all of Pacifica Avenue. These Bike Lanes will provide defined
facilities for children bicycling to the Shore Acres Elementary School, the Riverview Intermediate
School and the Rio Vista Elementary School. In addition the bike lanes will provide a safe facility
for bicyclists going to and from the Bay Point BART Station.
The Bailey Road to Bella Vista Avenue Bike Path project consists of constructing a bicycle path
on the East Bay Municipal Utility District right of way between Bailey Road and Bella Vista
Avenue. This path will be used by children going to the Bel Aire Elementary School and by
pedestrians and bicyclists going to the Bay Point BART Station.
The Loftus Road Pedestrian Path project consists of constructing an asphalt concrete pedestrian
path on Loftus Road from Willow Pass Road to Hanlon Way. Representatives of the Hanlon
Elementary School located on Hanlon Road contacted the County and requested the pedestrian
path to improve the safety for students walking along Loftus Road.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Failure to approve submittal of these applications will eliminate a potential funding source and
possibly delay the construction of the projects.
