Project: Campus Drive Improvements

Pictured above are vertical poles installed as part of the traffic calming pilot program on Campus Drive.

Project Description

The 0.78 mile-stretch of Campus Drive between 2nd Street and Hayward Boulevard was identified as a priority corridor for traffic calming improvements based on community concerns, traffic volume, speed and collision data, and other factors. This segment of Campus Drive serves multiple neighborhoods, California State University East Bay, hiking trails, churches, a senior facility, and Fire Station 9. In FY 2023, the $150,000 project budget was used to partner with a consultant to design pedestrian, bicycle, and traffic calming improvements; address safety concerns and mobility needs; and launch a pilot program. Implementation of the recommended improvements have been incorporated in the City’s annual pavement improvement program and the new sidewalk program.

 

The Campus Drive traffic calming project is being conducted in several phases. The installation of the sidewalk will also be in two phases. Sidewalk will be installed on Campus Drive from Highland Blvd. to Oakes Drive on the south side of Campus Drive and from Oaks Drive to 2nd Street on the north side of Campus Drive.
