Par Course Improvements
The Par Course is a recreational trail located next to Marina Park. It consists of 6,300 feet of 10-foot wide asphalt walkways and recreational exercise equipment stations. The project regraded and reconstructed the walkways and removed and replaced the exercise equipment stations and the signs that provide strength and cardiovascular workout opportunities.
Funding for the project was through the Measure WW Park Bond funds administered by the East Bay Regional Parks District. These funds are for the acquisition and development of neighborhood, community, and regional parks and recreation lands and facilities.
The improvements were completed in March 2012.
Dog Walking Park
The dog park is located in the Shoreline Recreation Area south of Marina Park, adjacent to the East Bay Discharge Authority facility and the Tony Lema Golf Course. The park is a 58,000 square foot fenced area for off-leash dog play with separate small and large dog play areas. The park features shade structures with concrete picnic tables and benches, drinking fountains, dog waste stations and precast concrete trash receptacles. The gravel maintenance access road adjacent to the site was relocated. In addition to the dog park, a drinking fountain and bike rack were installed in the area for Bay Trail users.
The park was completed in the Fall of 2011 and dedicated on September 24, 2011.
The project was funded with Park Development Fees.
Preda Street Pipe Bridges Upgrade
Two sanitary sewer pipelines cross above San Leandro Creek near Preda Street on two parallel steel truss bridges. This project upgraded the structural integrity of both bridges to current seismic standards and replaced the pipelines with a system that allows flexibility of the pipeline joints without disconnection.
The project was completed in Fall 2011.
The project was funded with WPCP Enterprise funds.
San Leandro Boulevard/Davis Sewer Capacity Improvements - Phase 1
The State of California mandated that cities reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent before 2020. The City of San Leandro is working toward this goal by promoting development of housing near the downtown BART station. In September 2007, the City Council adopted the Downtown San Leandro Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Strategy and revised the zoning code to promote increased housing and density in the downtown area.
Increases in population create a need for additional sewer capacity. Carollo Engineering evaluated the effects of increased density on the storm drain and sanitary sewer systems in the downtown area. The evaluation indicated that the sanitary sewer lines from near East 14th and West Juana to near Orchard and Davis did not have sufficient capacity to support the planned population. Upgrade of the entire deficient sewer line is being done in two or more phases as the area redevelops. Phase one increased the capacity of the downstream half of the deficient line. This line was deficient and would have become worse with increases in density. Carollo presented two alternatives for increasing sanitary sewer capacity in this area. The selected alternative installed an 18” line along San Leandro Boulevard between West Juana and West Estudillo. This alternative was selected because it constructed a new line in the public right of way, making maintenance much easier and improving upstream and downstream flow by reducing the bottleneck at Orchard, which also collects from other mains. The project included installing an 18” sewer line from the intersection of West Juana Avenue and San Leandro Boulevard to the intersection of West Estudillo Avenue and San Leandro Boulevard. The average depth of the installation was 12 feet.
Construction was completed in Fall 2011.
Funding for the project was from the WPCP Enterprise funds.
East 14th Street Striping and Pedestrian Improvements - West Broadmoor Boulevard to Hays Street
In late 1996, East 14th Street between Broadmoor Boulevard and Hays Street was re-configured from four lanes to two, with a median between the two travel lanes. Continuing concerns about traffic, pedestrian safety, and increased congestion prompted the City to re-evaluate traffic in the area to determine if additional changes to the configuration of East 14th Street were required. After numerous meetings, resident input, and Caltrans approval, the resulting project addressed the community goals of improving northbound traffic flow and providing better access from side streets.
The project maintains the center two-way left-turn lane, but an additional through travel lane were added in the northbound direction between Hays Street and Georgia Way, north of Dutton Avenue. Pedestrian safety features, such as in-street pedestrian signs, were added at selected crosswalks that currently serve relatively higher pedestrian volumes but do not have traffic signals. Left-turn lanes and parallel parking remain.

Construction was complete in April 2011.
This project was funded with Developer Fees for Street Improvements (DFSI) funds.
Park Pathways
The project rehabilitated the asphalt concrete pathways at City parks. These parks included: Marina Park; Washington Manor Park; Halcyon Park; McCartney Park; Stenzel Park; Memorial Park; Warden Park; and Thrasher Park. Slurry seal, an asphalt emulsion, was used to treat pathways that were in fairly good condition. For severely distressed pathways, 4-inch thick asphalt concrete sections were replaced and bounded with redwood header boards to protect pathway edges. In addition, neighboring tree roots were pruned to reduce future pathway damage. The project also included installation of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant ramps where appropriate and irrigation sleeves in preparation for upcoming projects.
Construction was completed in Spring 2011.
Funding was provided from the East Bay Regional Parks District (EBRPD) Measure WW Park Bond funds. The funds are for the acquisition and development of neighborhood, community, and regional parks and recreation lands and facilities.
East 14 th Street Median Project 
In 2004, the City adopted the East 14th Street South Area Development Strategy, which put in place a plan for the future development of East 14th Street in the area south of Downtown. Included in this plan are streetscape improvements including medians, sidewalks, lighting and landscaping.The project constructed raised concrete medians with landscaping along East 14th Street between 136th Avenue and 144th Avenue. Left turn pockets were added to enhance motorist safety. Safety of pedestrian crossings was improved by creating pedestrian refuges in the median areas and by improving curb ramps.
Construction was completed in 2011.
The project was funded with grants from the Federal government and funds from the City’s Redevelopment Agency.
