Title

Alameda CTC Rail Safety Enhancement Program - Phase A, Oakland

Description

The project site consists of four existing at-grade UPRR tracks where UPRR tracks intersect with local streets in the City of Oakland in California. Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) is the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). All four crossings are in the same general area of east Oakland in predominantly business, commercial, and light industrial areas. The 29th Avenue and 37th Avenue crossings are located near residential areas. The existing railroad crossings include single-arm gates (one in each direction of traffic), a warning device, concrete crossing panels, and street lighting. Safety improvements at the crossings would include installation of new security gates/fencing, medians, pavement markings, automatic pedestrian gates, and roadside signals. Additional improvements include Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) detectable pavers, warning devices, “No Trespassing” signs, replacement of signal arms, and installation of new sidewalks.
