Bancroft Avenue Street Rehabilitation 
This project reconstructed Bancroft Avenue between 138th Avenue and 148th Avenue. Reconstruction involved the removal of the existing top layer of asphalt concrete (AC), hardening the road base with cement, and installing a new surface layer of AC.
Curb ramps adjacent to the project were upgraded to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. Work also included some concrete repair.
Construction was completed in November 2010.
This project was funded using additional American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) funds, Measure B funds and other local funds.
Wicks and Blue Dolphin Lift Station Rehabilitation
Most sanitary sewer pipelines use gravity to move flow from the home or business to the local treatment plant. Where the area is flat or has other terrain features that do not permit gravity flow, a system of pumps is used. These pumps work 24 hours a day 7 days a week in a harsh environment and are a critical component to the health and safety of the community. The Wicks and Blue Dolphin lift stations have been in continuous service for many years and required replacement. The Wicks Lift Station is located at Wicks Boulevard adjacent to Burroughs Avenue. This facility was rebuilt with new pumps and electrical equipment while reusing much of the underground storage and piping to reduce costs. Included in this project was the construction of over 1,000 feet of new pipeline on Wicks Boulevard.
Located at Mulford Point Drive next to the Marina Boat Harbor, this pump station serves facilities around the Marina. The existing station was completely replaced.
The project was completed in October 2010.
Funding for this project was with WPCP Enterprise funds.
Annual Overlay/Rehabilitation 2008-09
Work included the reconstruction of portions of Aladdin Avenue, Montage Avenue and Zelma Street. Washington Avenue between Caliente Drive and Anza Way and Dolores Avenue from Bancroft Avenue to Grand Avenue were also repaired.
This project was completed in February 2010. The project was funded with a grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) and Measure B Streets & Roads funds administered by the Alameda County Transportation Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC).

Annual Street Sealing 2009-10
This project applied slurry seal or cape seal on various streets in San Leandro.
Slurry seal streets (portions):
Sandelin Avenue; Homans Avenue; East Juana Avenue; Harborview Drive; Longview Drive; Marineview Drive; Parker Street; Lakeview Drive; Starview Drive; and Edgehill Court
Cape seal streets (portions):
Sybil Avenue; Estudillo Avenue; MacArthur Boulevard; Lloyd Avenue; Castle Street; and Castle Court
In addition to the work listed above, an asphalt rubber double chip seal was used for the first time in San Leandro on Farnsworth Street between Lewelling Boulevard and Vining Drive. This street was badly alligator-cracked, but the road base was still in good condition, so Farnsworth Street was the perfect candidate for this treatment. Asphalt rubber double chip seal costs significantly less than road reconstruction and will more than likely be used again on future street sealing projects.
Construction was completed in October 2010.
This project was funded using Measure B Streets & Roads funds administered by the Alameda County Transportation Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC). Information regarding this and other regional 'Measure B' funded projects can be found on Alameda CTC's website at http://www.alamedactc.org.
Springlake Drive Road Rehabilitation
The project reconstructed Springlake Drive from Washington Avenue to the Alameda County Flood Control Canal using the full-depth rehabilitation method of treating the subgrade materials with cement for strength. The new road section is composed of four inches of asphalt concrete (AC) on top of sixteen inches of cement-treated road base. Work included the upgrade of substandard curb ramps, minor concrete repairs, and the elimination of obsolete tree wells along the project area.
Construction started in May 2010 and is now complete.
Funding for this project was through American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) funds.
Washington Avenue Interchange Improvements
This project reduced traffic congestion and improved roadway pavement conditions on the southern section of Washington Avenue and neighboring streets. The southbound I-880 on-ramp was widened to provide a freeway-only access lane. Additional turn lanes at the Fargo intersection and Greenhouse Shopping Center exit were installed. A traffic signal was installed and a section of the street between the overpass and Lewelling Boulevard was enhanced, including lane striping modifications.
The interchange is open for use and all major construction activities are complete.
The project was funded by the Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority (ACTIA), the Federal Surface Transportation Program, Development Fees for Street Improvements and General funds. Measure B Streets & Roads funds administered by the Alameda County Transportation Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC).

Bay Trail Slough Bridge
In 1987, then California state Senator Bill Lockyer conceived of a plan for a "Ring around the Bay," a hiking and bicycling trail that would encircle San Francisco and San Pablo bays. Since then, nearly 300 miles of trails have been completed. For more information see SF Bay Trail
This project linked the San Leandro segment of the San Francisco Bay Trail, which follows the shoreline from Hayward to the Oaklan
d Airport by constructing a foot bridge across the San Leandro slough. The project involved the construction of a 348-foot prefabricated metal bridge over the slough and 650 feet of paved trail.
The project was completed in May 2010 and the bridge dedicated as the Bill Lockyer Bay Trail Bridge on May 7, 2010.
Funding for this project was provided with grants from the Federal government, the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD), the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), and Measure B Streets & Roads funds administered by the Alameda County Transportation Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC). Information regarding this and other regional 'Measure B' funded projects can be found on Alameda CTC's website at http://www.alamedactc.org.
Wicks Boulevard Walkway
Last winter, the City installed an ADA compliant sidewalk on Wicks Boulevard between Stenzel Park and Burkhart Avenue. This path is often used as a pedestrian walkway for those who attend events at the Marina Community Center and Stenzel Park when the parking lots become full. Prior to construction, there was a gravel path that was overgrown with ivy, making it difficult for pedestrians to walk. This created a hazardous situation as pedestrians were forced to walk within the roadway to avoid the ivy and gravelly path. The City constructed four new ADA ramps within the stretch of sidewalk. Prior to pouring the sidewalk, the City took the opportunity to put in new street light conduits and update the street light system in that area to avoid future failure of the old cable. The sidewalk has created a pedestrian friendly environment for visitors and residents.
The project was complete in early 2010.
The project was funded with a federal grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).
