The Oakland Department of Transportation (OakDOT) is working to deliver projects that will strengthen connections between West Oakland, Chinatown, Downtown, Old Oakland, and the Jack London District. 

Martin Luther King Jr Way Streetscape Improvements

Focused on MLK Jr. Way between 2nd Street and 14th Street, the project will design and construct improvements aimed at improving pedestrian and bicyclist safety along Martin Luther King Jr. Way, including bike facilities, curb ramps, bulb-outs, and high-visibility crosswalks. 

The project will plant new street trees to make the neighborhood more climate resilient, and it will also install fiber optic cable to expand free OakWiFi.

Broadway Streetscape Improvements

Focused on Broadway between 2nd and 11th Street and between 20th Street and Grand Avenue, the project aims to improve safety and accessibility for people who walk, roll, and take transit along Broadway. 

The scope of improvements has been informed by previous community engagement and adopted plans. Improvements include curb extensions, ADA curb ramps, high visibility crosswalks, bus-only lanes, and improvements to the Broadway/I-880 underpass (such as pedestrian lighting).
