Community voices are at the heart of the 4CP - your ideas and priorities will form the 4CP’s recommendations.

During the first round of public outreach, which closed in Winter 2025, we heard that safety and access were consistently rated the top two most important priorities, especially on streets like Hesperian, Lewelling, and Castro Valley Boulevard, which received significant support for improvements.

Based on that community feedback, the 4CP will focus on advancing project improvement ideas on ten high-need, high-priority corridors. Now we need your help developing design ideas that reflect your preferred improvements for each location!

The 4CP's second round of public engagement is now underway! Join the 4CP team at one of the community events below this April and May, or take the 4CP survey online to share your ideas and feedback on potential streetscape improvements.

4CP Outreach Approach

Alameda CTC is partnering with local community-based organizations (CBOs) to better reach historically underserved communities.

CBO partners for the 4CP include:

• Boys & Girls Clubs of San Leandro
• Cherryland Community Association
• Community Resources for Independent Living
• El Tímpano
• San Leandro 2050

Many of the communities in the 4CP study area have been heavily and disproportionately impacted by the extensive freeway and railroad infrastructure that divides central Alameda County. While many plans and studies have been done nearby over the years, the 4CP focuses on a narrow area that borders multiple jurisdictions to comprehensively identify and advance improvements across jurisdictions.

The 4CP will document community-identified projects through focused technical analysis and extensive stakeholder and public engagement, and develop initial engineering drawings and cost estimates to support the community’s highest priority projects. The final plan will summarize the 4CP planning process and recommendations, and be accompanied by an implementation strategy to ensure communities benefit in the near-term.

Alameda CTC is leading this effort in collaboration with Caltrans thanks to a Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant. Other key stakeholders include the cities of San Leandro and Hayward, the Alameda County Community Development Agency, Alameda County Public Works, AC Transit, BART, and the Hayward Area Recreational District. Alameda CTC is working closely with stakeholders to ensure the 4CP complements other nearby planning efforts currently underway, such as two Community-Based Transportation Plans (CBTP) that Alameda CTC recently funded for the City of Hayward and the area surrounding the Bay Fair BART Station. Local needs and strategies identified by the 4CP may also inform the 2026 Countywide Transportation Plan.

Work began in early summer 2025 and will be complete no later than June 30, 2027, per grant requirements.
