The 19th Street BART to Lake Merritt Urban Greenway Project, funded by ATP, aims to enhance the local pedestrian and bicycle environment with a variety of infrastructure improvements. This includes separated bike lanes, improved sidewalks, pedestrian refuges, and traffic signal modifications, ensuring safer and more accessible routes for all users.
Oakland DOT's Charlie Ream expressed enthusiasm on social media about the new separated bike lane project, calling it "ecstatic to see another separated bike lane project starting up in Downtown Oakland on 20th St from Broadway to Harrison. A long time coming on this one." This reflects a growing trend to prioritize cyclist safety in the city.
The project aims for safer travels as one cyclist remarked, 'one step closer to being able to bike to Whole Foods without dying. Hurray for that!' This illustrates the community's excitement about improved cycling infrastructure and enhances the livability of urban spaces.
