  • Broadway Transit Urban Circulator Study
    Broadway Transit Urban Circulator Study PURPOSE & NEED FRAMEWORK April 30, 2014 version During the planning stages of a transportation project, it is important to outline the problems to be addressed and the goals set by the community, to develop a purpose and need statement for the project. A project need is the transportation deficiency or problem that is identified, and a project purpose is the set of objectives that will be met to address the transportation deficiency or problem. The purpose and need statement documents the problem to be addressed in the alternatives analysis and environmental review process and serves as the basis for the development of project goals, objectives, and evaluation measures. A well-defined purpose and need statement is critical to project planning because it helps define the scope of a project, guide the development and consideration of alternatives, identify potential environmental mitigation measures, provide legally defensible transportation and environmental decisions, and justify projects for programming. Though refinements may occur during future study, the purpose and need serves as an analytical framework for the project as it moves forward. Statement of Need The Broadway Corridor is a multimodal, well-travelled corridor within the city of Oakland stretching from Jack London Square to Interstate 580 (I-580). Two regional transit providers serve the corridor: Alameda – Contra Costa (AC) Transit, and the Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART). These services provide mobility for residents of Oakland, communities throughout the East Bay and beyond. Thousands of trips pass through the city of Oakland daily along this corridor. The corridor spans several neighborhoods such as Jack London Square, Old Oakland, City Center, Lake Merritt, Uptown, Koreatown/ Northgate, Valdez Triangle, Piedmont Avenue, Mid-Broadway, and the Kaiser and Alta Bates Medical Centers.

    PROPOSAL FOR THE REHABILITATION and ADAPTIVE REUSE OF THE HENRY J. KAISER CONVENTION CENTER One Lake Merritt Submitted to the City of Oakland CREA TIVE November 12, 2014 DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS Text Here PROPOSAL FOR THE REHABILITATION and ADAPTIVE REUSE OF THE HENRY J. KAISER CONVENTION CENTER Submitted to the City of Oakland November 12, 2014 CREA TIVE DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS November 12, 2014 Dear Oakland, We love you. There, we said it. Feels much better to just come right out with it before we say anything else. We love you for so many reasons - you’re diverse, passionate and creative - you make us feel special. You make the Bay Area feel special. You stand for equality and opportunity while the world around us seems to simply stand by as equality and opportunity pass by. We’d do anything to be with you. So we’re giving you our heart, our imagination, and our soul. Please meet One Lake Merritt. Over the last two years, Creative Development Partners has fallen even more deeply in love with Oakland in assembling One Lake Merritt. We have learned a great deal, through the engagement of so many segments of the community, how we can build what Oakland needs, wants and deserves. But ultimately, we are proposing One Lake Merritt because we are an Oakland team. We are the team, the investors, and the deep relationships with the community, institutions and organizations, to work with the City to transform the Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center into a project that creates opportunities for all, propels the economy, and lifts up our identity.

    1 San Francisco Bay Area Water Trail Site Description for Estuary Park/Jack London Aquatic Center Location, Ownership, and Management: The Jack London Aquatic Center (JLAC) is located within Estuary Park, along the Oakland Estuary. JLAC is owned by the Port of Oakland and leased to the City of Oakland and managed by Oakland Parks, Recreation, and Youth Development. Contact Name: Herbelin, Sarah, Boating Recreation Supervisor Contact Phone: (510) 238-2196 Contact E-mail: [email protected] Large low-freeboard dock High-freeboard dock & ramp Club boat storage Facility Description: Estuary Park / Jack London Aquatic Center boating facilities include two primary launches: 1) A large low-freeboard dock connected to a wide ADA gangway; and, 2) A boat launch ramp with boarding pier to a high-freeboard dock. The low-freeboard dock is very popular with non-motorized small boat users and is used both by clubs and by the City of Oakland’s recreation programs. Estuary Park is a 7-acre park located along the Oakland shoreline at the mouth of the channel connecting to Lake Merritt. It features the Aquatic Center, picnic areas, benches, and walking paths. The Aquatic Center provides boat and equipment storage for several rowing clubs and the City’s boating programs. The Aquatic Center building also serves as a community center, which is available to rent for special events. The Oakland Estuary is generally calmer and more protected than the open Bay, making it a good location for different types of boating programs. However, boaters need to be familiar with navigational safety techniques and how to boat near other vessels.
