U.S. Reps. Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, and Eric Swalwell, D-Castro Valley, celebrated on Friday after receiving $30 million in federal funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation to install about 10 miles of street improvements along the project corridor, which will span from Lake Merritt to Bayfair.
The project, referred to as the Bay Greenway Multimodal Project, intends to improve safety and allow more connection between communities by installing protected bikeways, improving pedestrian crossing safety and accessibility, enhancing bus stops and installing placemarks like benches, lighting and landscaping. "This project will provide significant benefits to the communities that it traverses between the Lake Merritt BART station and the Bay Fair BART station ...
"Our constituents deserve safe, viable alternatives to single-occupancy vehicles." Oakland, one of the cities serviced by the new project, saw 33 deaths on its roadways last year, making 2023 the fourth year in a row the city saw more than 30 traffic-related fatalities, making its roadways among the deadliest in the country.
