Construction to begin along Ralph Appezzato Memorial Parkway

Published on January 10, 2024

Cross Alameda Trail traffic signal improvements are scheduled to begin in mid-January on Ralph Appezzato Memorial Parkway and Atlantic Avenue at five intersections between Main Street and Wilma Chan Way. The changes will increase safety by reducing conflicts between drivers’ vehicles and people walking and biking on the Cross Alameda Trail. The project is scheduled to be complete in August 2024.

The intersections receiving improvements are Main Street, Third Street, Poggi Street, Webster Street, and Wilma Chan Way, with a variety of new bike signals, left and right turn arrows, and “no right turns on red” restrictions as needed to increase safety at that location. In most cases, bicyclists on the Cross Alameda Trail will be automatically detected to eliminate the need for them to use pushbuttons.  

The project includes the installation of traffic signal poles and foundations, traffic signal and electrical equipment, street lighting, signage, pavement striping and markings, and accessibility improvements. Construction work hours are Monday through Friday, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. During construction, motorists may experience minor disruptions in traffic, temporary loss of parking spaces, and noise and dust. Bus stop access will be maintained throughout the project.

The City appreciates your cooperation and patience during this construction. Questions or information about the project should be directed to Mr. Trung Nguyen, Project Manager, Public Works Department at 510-747-7900 or at tnguyen@alamedaca.gov.
