Grand Street Pavement Project Now in Progress

Construction on the Grand Street Safety Improvement and Pavement Resurfacing Project is now underway. The work being done now is the first phase (“Segment A”) of the construction of an uninterrupted two-way bikeway on Grand Street from Shore Line Drive to Clement Avenue. This phase is approximately a quarter-mile in length on Grand Street, between Shore Line Drive and Otis Drive.

Project goals

The purpose of the project is to:

• Increase safety for all, by implementing the Vision Zero Action Plan, which indicates Grand Street is a High Injury Corridor. (The High Injury Corridor (HIC) Analysis Memo explains in depth why Grand Street is considered such.)
• Improve mobility for all modes, including AC Transit buses.
• Improve the street’s pavement condition to improve street operations and user experience, and to reduce future maintenance costs.
• Comply with existing plans and policies, including the City’s General Plan.

Improvements

Improvements to be made include full-width pavement rehabilitation, ADA compliant curb ramps, on-street parking, a mid-block crosswalk near Wood School with flashing beacons and pedestrian refuge island, bus stop improvements, and restriping for existing automobile travel lanes.

This work will take place between Shore Line Drive and Otis Drive from May to September 2025.

Parking, driveway access, detours

Parking and traffic restrictions will be in place during construction, including detours during full-width pavement construction.

Residents in the work area of Grand Street will have access to their driveways but may be delayed pending construction activity taking place during daytime work hours. Temporary access to driveways will also be provided during pavement reconstruction.

Funding

This project is funded by Measure B/BB Local Streets and Roads, Measure B/BB Paratransit, TDA Article III, One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) federal monies and General Fund balance.
