Coliseum BART to Bay Trail Connector

Coliseum BART to Bay Trail Connector

The proposed project would incorporate both Class I bicycle and pedestrian pathway facilities, and would involve crossing railroad tracks, a slough and a freeway (I-880). The proposed trail segment would be approximately one mile long. The trail would start at the Coliseum BART station and connect to the Amtrak Coliseum Station via San Leandro Street and 73rd Avenue, in Oakland. From the Amtrak station, the trail would cross the railroad tracks either at-grade (if feasible), or via a new connection to the existing flood control maintenance road and would involve upgrading the gravel roadway surface to asphalt including installation of signs and pavement markings. A small bridge that crosses a tributary to Daemon Slough would be upgraded to allow for pedestrian and bicycle use. At Coliseum Way the trail would follow Coliseum Way to 66th Avenue involving crosswalk and signalization modifications. The trail would cross I-880 using the existing 66th Avenue freeway over-crossing, involving minor modifications to the existing sidewalk (increasing the width to 12 feet), narrowing the lane widths, and installation of a barrier between the sidewalk and the traffic lanes. This proposed facility would then link with the Bay Trail at the western end of 66th Avenue.
