BACKGROUND:
The Montalvin Manor Pedestrian and Transit Access Improvement Strategy document,
accepted by the Agency on July 13, 2004, identified the goal of strengthening pedestrian
and bike access, and safety for the overall neighborhood. Creating sidewalks and
improving bicycle access along San Pablo Avenue and Kay Road were identified as top
priority actions by the Montalvin Manor community that would improve the overall
pedestrian safety for the neighborhood. The development and improvement of sidewalks
and bicycle access along San Pablo Avenue and Kay Road would create a safe and
pleasant pedestrian environment by connecting the residents to' important community
amenities and other transit stops.
The scope of the project will include engineering and design plans, environmental review,
construction engineering, and installation of the sidewalk/streetscape improvements.
Improvements will include, but not limited to re-grading, installation of approximately 3,000
feet of sidewalk, bus shelter installation, and improvement of the drainage system. The
improvements along San Pablo Avenue and Kay Road, when completed, will improve the
overall pedestrian safety and create a pleasant streetscape along San Pablo Avenue and
Kay Road, which would benefit all the residents in the community.
