Measure B funded Local Streets and Roads projects that have recently been completed, are currently ongoing, or are planned for construction or implementation in 2007-08 include:

• Cape Seal Project – This annual project maintains our roadway network by resurfacing existing streets, thereby slowing down the natural deterioration of the roadway, restoring and protecting the pavement surface and extending the useful life of the pavement.
• Street Overlays – This annual project resurfaces, repairs, and restores worn pavement to full serviceability.  In addition, street intersections are upgraded with new curb ramps that meet current ADA requirements and repairs are made to curbs that have been damaged by street trees. Visit our 2007 Asphalt Overlay Project page.
• Stevenson Boulevard Street Improvement – Construction was successfully completed on the Stevenson Boulevard Improvement Project.  The project removed the existing median curb and gutter; constructed a new, narrower raised median; provided an additional lane in each direction on Stevenson Boulevard between I-880 and Blacow Road; removed and reconstructed the existing pavement section; upgraded the traffic signals at the Farwell Drive/Omar Street and Blacow Road intersections, and provided new median landscaping.  
• BART Extension to Santa Clara County - BART Extension to Santa Clara includes the Warm Springs Extension and is funded to allow City staff participation in planning, design, and construction of the extension through the City of Fremont.  The extension will accommodate the increasing volume of commuters traveling through Fremont to Santa Clara.
• Dumbarton Rail Corridor - The Dumbarton Rail Corridor project will provide a new commuter rail connection across the old Dumbarton structure.  Funding supports staff participation in the environmental document review and evaluation of the project's impact to the City of Fremont.
• Signal Coordination Program - Signal timings for coordination typically have a useful life of about 2 to 3 years.  Their effectiveness is decreased over time as traffic volumes and patterns change.  As a result, signal coordination timings need to be updated to meet the changing traffic volumes and patterns.  Traffic signals that are well coordinated reduce overall vehicle stops, delays, and fuel consumption resulting in improved air quality.
