12th St. Reconstruction
A Measure DD Project

Project Description
12th
Street will be redesigned into a tree-lined boulevard with signalized
intersections and crosswalks and a landscaped median. The redesign would
create significant new parkland at the south end of Lake Merritt Park,
remove unsafe and unsightly pedestrian tunnels, provide safer and
continuous access for pedestrians and bicyclists along the perimeter of
Lake Merritt, and improved access between the Kaiser Convention Center
and Laney College. Removal of the Lake Merritt Channel culvert at 12th
Street will provide an open-water bridged connection and improve water
flow between the Lake and the Estuary. Environmental benefits include
improved water quality and wildlife habitat.
