As part of its efforts to revitalize the city’s infrastructure, Berkeley City Council voted to approve a contract for the enactment of the Southside Complete Streets project Tuesday. The council also agreed to apply for a $6 million Alameda County Transportation Commission grant that would go towards the Telegraph Avenue Complete Streets project.
Both projects will implement infrastructure changes that will improve pedestrian and cyclist safety while expanding and repairing the current transit system, according to the city press release. These decisions were made in an effort to cultivate a more pedestrian and biker-friendly environment for city residents in and around campus.
