The Del Monte development project includes building the extension of Clement Avenue behind the development, from Entrance Road to Sherman Street. City staff is currently working with the developer and contractor to coordinate the signalization of a new traffic signal at the intersection of Clement Avenue, Atlantic Avenue, and Sherman Street and expects that work to be complete by 5 pm on Thursday, June 16, at which time the newly constructed extension of Clement Avenue will be opened to automobile traffic.
This new segment of Clement Avenue is a public roadway with two lanes of traffic, on-street parking, storm water treatment basins, landscaping, brick-accented sidewalks, and two-way protected bike lanes. The brick is reclaimed from the historic Del Monte Building.
The newly built two-way protected bike lanes on the north side of Clement Avenue will connect the existing segments of the Cross Alameda Trail from Entrance Road to Jean Sweeny Park. We just released a video of the complete Cross Alameda Trail, take a virtual ride today (www.alamedaca.gov/cat)! This is the 7th segment of the Cross Alameda Trail to be completed since construction on the trail began five years ago. With this new quarter mile segment, the 4.1 mile cross-town separated biking and walking facility will be just under 75% complete. Planning is underway for the remaining 25%. Now that this segment of the Cross Alameda Trail is complete, you can ride 2.5 miles on completely separated bikeways from the Seaplane Lagoon Ferry Terminal to Ohlone Way, in the middle of the island.
The existing truck route will remain along Atlantic Avenue, Sherman Street and Buena Vista Avenue.
