Project Location
This project will make improvements to the Ohlone Greenway multi-use pathway, from Virginia Gardens to the south to Santa Fe Avenue to the north. It includes the following intersections: Virginia Gardens, Cedar Street, Rose Street, Hopkins Street, Peralta Avenue, Gilman Street, and Santa Fe Avenue.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
The goals of the Ohlone Greenway Safety Improvements Project are to upgrade a portion of the existing multi-use pathway, from Virginia Gardens to the south to Santa Fe Avenue to the north. The upgrades aim to better accommodate the needs of all users and improve safety, especially at roadway intersections and at night. Upgrades will focus on the following:
- Improving safety of pathway/roadway intersections, including more clear sightlines, at seven intersections – Virginia Gardens, Cedar Street, Rose Street, Hopkins Street, Peralta Avenue, Gilman Street, and Santa Fe Avenue.
- Widening the pathway to a minimum of 12 feet where feasible to better separate users of different speeds (e.g., pedestrians and bikes).
- Improved connection at pathway gap on Peralta Avenue, including wayfinding (signage) and traffic calming feature(s).
- Enhanced pathway lighting to improve safety and security of pathway users at intersection approaches, benches, and other locations where potential security issues exist.
- Landscaping work to trim back and/or remove vegetation to increase effectiveness of lighting and to improve visibility and security.
