  • 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.

  • Final Vision and Goals for the Lake Merritt Station Area Plan
    Lake Merritt Station Area Plan Final Vision and Goals for the Lake Merritt Station Area Plan VISION The following vision for the Lake Merritt Station Area Plan updates the plan objectives based on input received at CSG and TAC meetings and the Community Workshop #1. • Create a financially feasible, implementable plan that is the result of an authentic community engagement process and is inclusionary of all community voices. • Create a more active, vibrant, and safe district to serve and attract residents, businesses, students, shoppers and visitors. • Provide for community development and economic development that is equitable, sustainable, and healthy. • Increase use of non-automobile modes of transportation. • Increase the housing supply to accommodate a diverse community, especially affordable housing and housing around the BART station. • Increase jobs and improve access to jobs along the transit corridor. • Provide services and retail options in the station area. • Identify additional recreation and open space opportunities. • Celebrate and enhance the heritage of Chinatown as a cultural asset and a regional community destination. • Establish the Lake Merritt Station Area as a model with innovations in community development, transportation, housing, jobs, and businesses and environmental, social, and economic sustainability, and greenhouse gas reductions. GOALS The following goals for the Lake Merritt Station Area Plan include all the major goals within the Nine Guiding Principles identified in the 2009 Community Engagement process, which have in some cases been condensed, or expanded to include additional community comments. In addition, two major goals that came out of additional community input have been added. 1. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT • Ensure opportunities for effective community participation by all stakeholders, including residents, property owners, businesses, students, 1 Lake Merritt Station Area Plan employees, and organizations in the further development and implementation of the Plan.
