The projects were scheduled for review at the September 5th Infrastructure Committee meeting. Comments will be collected on the MTC Complete Streets Checklists, a required component of the SR2TBT applications. OakDOT staff will request a letter of support for these applications from the BPAC.
OakDOT Bicyclist and Pedestrian Program staff Patrick Phelan (PPhelan@oaklandca.gov) & Jason Patton (jpatton@oaklandca.gov) will share about a community-submitted Capital Improvement Project idea to create a safe biking and walking route through the Sobrante Park and Brookfield Village neighborhoods.
