PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Bayview Avenue Improvements Project aims to improve multimodal safety, accessibility, and connectivity along Bayview Avenue from the eastbound I-580 ramps past Carlson Boulevard to Ells Street and along Potrero Avenue from Carlson Boulevard to South 52nd Street. Key elements of the project include the construction of Class IV separated bikeways along Bayview Avenue and South 51st Street to the Bay Trail, and the installation of Class II bike lanes along Potrero Avenue. Additionally, the project will implement ADA-compliant curb ramps, new curb extensions, intersection geometry refinements, and upgraded signage and striping. These improvements will close network gaps, enhance access within an Equity Priority Community, and create more seamless connections to public transit, schools, and the San Francisco Bay Trail.
PROJECT TIMELINE
The City of Richmond anticipates advertising the Bayview Avenue Improvements Project for construction bids in Spring 2026, with construction commencing in Fall 2026. The Design Engineering Evaluation Report (DEER) will be completed in coordination with Caltrans District 4 to secure project approval and federal authorization prior to the start of final construction documentation.
