i. Latitude = 37.775658 degrees
ii. Longitude = -122.210696 degrees
3. Project Description:
The proposed High Street-Courtland Avenue-Ygnacio Avenue Intersection Improvements
focus on crossing and access improvements for pedestrians and bicyclists.
Project Purpose:The purpose of the improvements is to improve the ability for pedestrians
and bicyclists to get through this intersection safely, particularly those accessing Fremont
High School and the adjacent bus stops.
Project Need:The westbound leg of Courtland Avenue is offset, stop-controlled, and closely
spaced to the signalized intersection of High-Ygnacio-Courtland. Westbound vehicles dart
across High Street, often ignoring pedestrians using the crosswalks. Pedestrian crossings are

and west legs. Southbound right turning movement speeds onto Courtland Avenue from
High Street will be reduced by the corner bulb-out at the channelized right turn lane.
Perpendicular curb ramps will be installed to updated ADA standards. Bicycle detectors will
be installed on all approaches to the signalized intersection. Bus transit operations will
improve with the installation of a bus bulb-out on the southwestern corner of High Street.
Project Scope of Work: Figure 2 illustrates the scope of the proposed project by calling out
the specific proposed improvements. The following provides a brief written summary of the
proposed improvements. The funds obtained for this project would be used for PE and
construction phases of project development.
Install a raised median on the north leg of High Street to prevent westbound
through and left vehicle turning movements from Courtland Avenue.

High Street-Courtland Avenue-Ygnacio Avenue Intersection Improvements for Safe Routes to School May 2014III. Screening Criteria
III. SCREENING CRITERIA
1. Demonstrated Needs of the Applicant
The primary purpose of the proposed project is to improve walking and biking access at the
High Street-Courtland Avenue-Ygnacio Avenue intersection for all users, including Fremont
High School students, transit passengers, and residents. Both High Street and Courtland
Avenue west of High Street are high vehicle volume roadways that provide connections to
the two major freeways of I-80 and I-580. Pedestrian crossings at this intersection are
complicated by the five-legged orientation of this intersection, four legs of which are
signalized while the westbound Courtland leg is only stop-controlled. Pedestrian, bicycling,
and motorist safety will be enhanced by preventing through vehicle movements from
westbound Courtland Avenue and slowing right turning movements from southbound High

This intersection serves as a direct connection to Fremont High School, residences, transit stops
and a church. It also serves as a conduit to trunk line transit stops on Foothill Boulevard,
neighborhood retail on Foothill Boulevard and High Street, including the popular Mi Pueblo
supermarket, and the Courtland Creek Greenway. Figure 3 shows the various destinations in close
proximity to the intersection.

will result from these improvements (about 20%) but not a significant increase in biking as no
bikeways are proposed.
As four-lane roadways, High Street and Courtland Avenue can be a notable barrier to walking or
biking, especially for school-age children and/or parents with school-age children. The slight grade
on High Street also can cause higher-than-posted vehicle speeds. The proposed improvements will
render a more intuitive intersection that will calm traffic at the neighborhoods gateway.

AND BICYCLIST FATALITIES AND INJURIES, INCLUDING THE IDENTIFICATION OF
SAFETY HAZARDS FOR PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLISTS. (0-25 POINTS)

Benefit/Cost Ratio
The calculated benefit/cost ratio for the High Street-Courtland Avenue-Ygnacio Avenue intersection
improvements is 4.13 for the total project cost and the program requested funds.
The project cost estimate was developed using unit costs and quantities for materials anticipated
to be used to construct the proposed improvements. The total estimated cost is $1,128,000.00 to
construct the project. A detailed breakdown of the cost estimate is attached to this application.
The benefits associated with the project were estimated using information from the report
Evaluating Active Transport Benefits and Costsby Todd Litman (available at http://vtpi.org/nmt-
tdm.pdf). This report contains a number of user benefits associated with shifting modes from
driving to walking and biking (e.g., improved fitness and health) as well as the benefits associated
with reduced vehicle use (e.g., pollution reduction). The values in Table 16, Table 17, and Table 18

bEstimated from the AM peak-hour counts of pedestrian crossings and bicyclists with a 20%
increase due to the improvements; values also discussed above in response to Question 1.
Additional increase of 25% added to account for pedestrian and bicyclists crossing in non-peak AMand PM peak hours. Fremont High School students walking and biking to school are included in
these numbers.
cVehicle round trips used to estimate the potential benefit; we assume the trip to local destinations
is out of direction for the driver.
dDesign life based on type of treatments implemented within the project. Used standard formula
for discounting (see page 12 of Economic Analysis Primer found athttp://www.fhwa.dot.gov/infrastructure/asstmgmt/primer.pdf). Used discount rate of 0.75%;
consistent with current Federal Discount Rate.
Q5. IMPROVED PUBLIC HEALTH (0-10 POINTS)
One of the goals of the High Street-Courtland Avenue-Ygnacio Avenue intersection project is to
improve pedestrian and bicycling access. As more attention is paid to providing better walking and
biking environments, incremental walking and biking replace driving, particularly for shorter trips.

DC&E facilitated three public meetings during the planning
process for the Foothill/High/Melrose Streetscape Design.
The feedback from the community at these meetings directly
influenced the final design of the Preferred Alternative
Master Plan and full memorandums of the meeting are
included in Appendix B.
1. Community Workshop #1
On Wednesday, May 30, 2007 the first Foothill/High/
Melrose Streetscape Design Community Workshop was
held at Horace Mann Elementary School in the vicinity of
Node 2 of the project area. DC&E facilitated a meeting with
members of the community-at-large, City staff members and
several members of the TAC. The primary purpose of this
meeting was to ascertain the concerns of the commthe project area and begin to develop consensus for t
of the street as a whole.
DC&E presented a slideshow of the existing cond

03 COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION
Three different design alternatives were presented to thecommunity at the meeting. The primary identity of each
alternative was based on its dominant, repeated design fea-
ture, and these were: Alternative 1: Widened Sidewalks;
Alternative 2: Medians and Alternative 3: Pedestrian Refuge
Islands. Each alternative was then sub-divided into the two
main project nodes: Node 1 being the High Street Corridor
and Node 2 focusing on the Melrose Commercial District.Each node of each alternative was then assigned a conceptual
design identity to supplement the form-based identity of the
alternative. These conceptual identities, such as Courtland
Creek Greenway and Fairfax Antiques District were
based on suggestions from community members at the first
community meeting.
During the presentation of the three alternatives, participants
were encouraged to provide feedback, and these comments
were recorded. Meeting attendees were also provided with
comment forms to vote on the elements from each alterna-

the streetscape themes will be included in the master plan
document.
Following DC&Es slideshow presentation of the preferred
alternative, meeting attendees participated in a question and
answer session to voice their feedback on the preferred alter-native. These comments were recorded, and community
members were given a comment card and a prioritization
exercise. As available funding sources may preclude the
construction of all improvements depicted in the preferred
alternative presented, participants were asked to vote on the
design improvement areas that they thought had the most
priority.
Based on the comment card feedback, the top three priority
areas in Node 1 were the Courtland Avenue Intersection

Mr. Fred Blackwell
City Administrator1 Frank Ogawa Plaza, 3rd Floor
Oakland, CA 94612
Dear Mr. Blackwell:
On behalf of the City of Oakland Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) I am very pleased to
recommend all of the Citys proposed projects for the Active Transportation Program funding, which
includes both the Safe Routes to Schools set aside, as well as projects eligible for general Active
Transportation Program funds. The BPAC reviewed the City of Oaklands proposed Active Transportation
Program submissions on Thursday, May 15, and agree that the proposed project fulfills the needs of
critical improvements that benefit the most dangerous intersections around schools, closes critical gaps
that improve walking and bicycling experiences of the most vulnerable roadway users, and meets the
challenge of improving access to some of our most socio-economically disadvantaged communities.
The projects proposed are as follows:
1. International Boulevard Bus Rapid Transit Supportive Pedestrian Projects Median Pedestrian Refuges at International/Hegenberger and at International/98th Corridor-wide Pedestrian Lighting and Sidewalk Repair
2 Lake Merritt/Bay Trail Bicycle Pedestrian Bridge

Lake Merritt/Bay Trail Bicycle Pedestrian Bridge
This multi-use trail project will provide a critical missing link between a rejuvenated Lake Merritt with
the waterfront Bay Trail. It will provide an alternative to dangerous and often illegal crossings of train
tracks and busy roadways. And for the first time will allow both recreational and commute accessbetween downtown and waterfront neighborhoods at the very center of the City. The request is for
design development and right of way phases of this multi-million dollar project.
Laurel Access to Mills, Maxwell Park and Seminary Ave Active Transportation Plan
This project will complete the design and construction of a multi-use path along a very busy arterial
street and underneath a freeway, opening safe access from disadvantaged Oaklands flatlands
neighborhoods to neighborhood commercial area, Mills College, and the Laurel district. This is both a
bike and pedestrian project that has strong community support.
Safe Routes to Schools Projects
These projects will improve safety in the vicinity of Oakland public schools, encouraging more students
to walk and bike to work. All of these projects specifically benefit neighborhood schools, but also serve
the general Oakland population by calming traffic and adding pedestrian bulbouts, sidewalks and plazas
in areas of high vehicle/pedestrian conflict. Several of these projects are in disadvantaged
neighborhoods.
We believe all of these projects will provide important benefits to the citizens of Oakland, and are
pleased to endorse them. BPAC looks forward to working closely with the City of Oakland to fulfill the
mission of the Active Transportation Program. Thank you for your support of sustainable and
multimodal development in our community.
