SAN PABLO AVENUE SPECIFIC PLAN UPDATE
Imagine San Pablo Avenue as a grand boulevard stretching from Oakland to Hercules, with jewels of pedestrian-friendly and family-friendly mixed-use urban and distinctive neighborhoods along the way. The San Pablo Avenue of the future will include a diverse range of housing, business, service, recreational, educational, transportation and civic opportunities with distinct nodes of activity in each city connected by an attractive, multi modal world class boulevard.- Loni HancockFormer State Assemblymember/State SenatorDestination: San Pablo Avenue/SR 123 Vision (2004)

TRANSPORTATION ISSUES• How to support low parking ratios?
• Feasibility continues to drive parking lower • Constrained sites (stacked parking)
• Insufficient “urban” mobility options (multi-point)• Urban Parking Ranges Need Urban Mobility Options• How to move around town and to area necessities/amenities w/o car
(jobs, recreation, schools etc.)• Need for Shared vehicles; Shared Micromobility• Not a big enough market yet; Need for Partnership
• Strong commute service to major centers• Improve access options to BART from Midtown• AC Transit Easy Pass: 100 or more residences only
• only 4/18 approved projects are more than 100 residents
• Capital Projects: Underway (Complete Streets; TIF; STMP)
