Notification

City staff/consultant team will be requesting Transportation Commission approval of the Clement Avenue/Tilden Way Improvement Project concept on Wed., Jan. 25, 2023 at 6:30 p.m. and then will be requesting City Council approval on Tues., March 7, 2023.

Concept

The Clement /Tilden Project uses the abandoned railroad right-of-way at Clement Avenue and Tilden Way to extend the Cross Alameda Trail between Broadway and the Miller-Sweeney/Fruitvale Bridge and to improve the truck and bus routes.  The concept includes bikeways and walkways with wayfinding signs, a road diet, a westbound Clement Avenue extension, open space, stormwater gardens, bus stop and lighting improvements, a dog park and a roundabout at the Blanding/Tilden/Fernside intersection.

Background

Road diets reduce crashes up to 47%.  Roundabouts reduce fatal and severe injury crashes up to 90% compared to traffic signals or all-way stops.  This project had two rounds of public outreach, and connects to the City's Clement Avenue project and to the City of Oakland's Fruitvale Avenue project.  In 2017, the Alameda County Transportation Commission awarded a Measure BB grant to the City of Alameda totaling $8.4 million for this project, which totals $10 million with the local match.  Construction is expected in mid-2024.
