Short Title Description of Proiect: East Grand Avenue-Caltrain Bicycle and Pedestrian Access Proiect
Amount of claim: $400,000
Functional Description of Project:
Design and installation of bike and pedestrian improvements on East Grand Avenue from Poletti Way and E. Grand Ave (across
the street from the new bicycle and pedestrian path to the South San Francisco Caltrain Station) to intersection of E.
Grand/Grand Avenue, and then east on E. Grand Ave to the intersection of Forbes.
Financial Plan:
List the project elements for which TDA funding is being requested (e.g., planning, engineering, construction, contingency).
Use the table below to show the project budget for the phase being funded or total project. Include prior and proposed
future funding of the project. Planning funds may only be used for comprehensive bicycle and pedestrian plans. Project
level planning is not an eligible use of TDA Article 3.
Proiect Elements: The Project will construct an approximately 15 foot wide Class I (off street) pedestrian/bicycle path on the
north side of East Grand Avenue from Poletti Way to the intersection of East Grand and Grand Avenues (approximately 750 feet
in length). The southwest corner of the intersection of the East Grand and Grand Avenue intersection will be reconstructed with a
smaller turning radius. The pedestrian striping for the western and southern crossing of the intersection will be replaced. The
concrete median, and "slip lane" that currently provides a free right turn movement at the southeast corner will be removed and
replaced with a design similar to the west side corner, eliminating a free right turn and requiring a "stop -on- red" before allowing
vehicle to turn right, reducing pedestrian crossing distance across East Grand Avenue and enhancing pedestrian safety. On East
Grand Avenue, heading east from the intersection of East Grand and Grand Avenues, the roadway will be improved to add
buffered Class II bike lanes with plastic channelizers and green lane transition markings in both directions through the East
Grand Avenue/Harbor Way/Forbes Avenue intersection (about 1,1,50 feet in length in each direction).
