Groundbreaking for East Bay Greenway San Leandro Project Announced

The Alameda County Transportation Commission has announced a groundbreaking celebration for the East Bay Greenway San Leandro Project, marking a significant step in enhancing the local environment and providing a new recreational space for residents in the Tri-Valley area, including Dublin, Pleasanton, and Livermore. The project, which spans approximately 3.5 miles, will connect various neighborhoods in San Leandro, offering a safe and accessible route for walking, biking, and other outdoor activities.

The East Bay Greenway is expected to have a profound impact on the community, improving connectivity and promoting a healthier lifestyle among residents. The new greenway will not only serve as a recreational space but also as a vital link between neighborhoods, fostering a sense of community and encouraging active transportation. Local businesses and families are anticipated to benefit from the increased foot traffic and the overall enhancement of the urban environment.

Funding for the East Bay Greenway comes in part from Measure BB, a voter-approved initiative aimed at supporting transportation and infrastructure improvements in the region. This project is a testament to the community's commitment to sustainable and inclusive development, aligning with the broader goals of the Alameda County Transportation Commission. The project has been in the planning stages for several years, with numerous community meetings and consultations to ensure it meets the needs of San Leandro residents.

The groundbreaking celebration will take place on March 15th, 2024, at 10:00 AM at the intersection of Main Street and Greenway Avenue in San Leandro. The event is expected to proceed under most weather conditions, reflecting the commission's dedication to ensuring the project moves forward as planned. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early and park at the designated lots on Main Street, with additional shuttle services available from nearby parking lots.

Residents are invited to attend the groundbreaking celebration to witness the start of this important community project. For those unable to attend, updates on the project's progress can be found on the Alameda County Transportation Commission's website at East Bay Greenway San Leandro Groundbreaking Celebration. The commission will also provide regular updates on the project timeline and milestones, ensuring that the community remains informed and engaged throughout the construction process.
