Project Development Division

The City's Project Development Division provides engineering services in support of various public improvements and provides engineering related services to staff in all City departments. This division implements the City's Capital Improvement Program, which includes contract development, project oversight and design services for capital projects within San Leandro. This division is also responsible for inspection of public improvement projects during construction.


Capital Improvement Projects

Each year the City allocates funds toward the maintenance of existing City facilities and the design and construction of new projects that enhance the quality of life for San Leandro residents. Examples of capital improvement projects include street improvements, sewer replacements, street tree planting, municipal building enhancements, and Marina area and park improvements. As part of the City's annual budget process, the City Council approves a list of new capital improvement projects each fiscal year. For information about current or proposed City projects, call (510) 577-3433.


Measure B Program

The Measure B Program, first authorized by voters in 1986 and re-approved in 2000, utilizes a half-cent sales tax to fund a variety of transportation improvements throughout Alameda County. For larger projects, proceeds are allocated to specific improvements identified in the Measure B Expenditure Plan, which includes projects from throughout the whole county. In addition to projects in the Expenditure Plan, cities such as San Leandro are allocated funds separately, based on population figures, that are used directly for use in local roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facility improvements.  These funds are administered by the Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC).

  • Measure B Funded Local Streets and Roads Program

    Each year, the City performs a variety of roadway improvements to maintain and upgrade the pavement condition of the City's streets. These improvements range from the application of cape and slurry seals to extend the useful life of structurally sound streets to complete asphalt surface reconstruction on those streets where the paving has deteriorated. The process of selecting streets for improvement is determined by the street's Pavement Condition Index (PCI) based on yearly street inspections and coordination with other City projects. During 2007, funds provided by the Alameda CTC via Measure B, the 1/2 cent sales tax initiative, funded the improvement of 16 street segments.

  • Measure B Funded Bicycle and Pedestrian Program

    The City strives to ensure safety for bicyclists and pedestrians by publishing informational pamphlets. The City also plans pedestrian and bicycle projects. Measure B funds were used to prepare a Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan for the City. This document will provide the framework for future bicycle and pedestrian improvements throughout the City.

    One of the projects is a pedestrian/bicycle bridge across the San Leandro Slough. This project will complete a critical gap in the San Francisco Bay Trail and will provide access to the bay shoreline. This and other bicycling projects benefit from funding provided by the Alameda CTC.
