Overview

Before and after photos show what Willow street will look like.
The Cherryland Sub-Area has made it's redevelopment priority the design and construction of sidewalks along the neighborhood streets. Originally the Cherryland area was home to many agriculture uses such as cherry orchards and greenhouses. During it's transition from agricultural uses to residential housing, the neighborhood was developed without sidewalks. As the neighborhood population has increased, it has become more important for the safety of pedestrians, including children on their way to school, to be elevated on a sidewalk platform to avoid collisions with cars and other walking impediments.

Working together, the Alameda County Redevelopment Agency, The Public Works Agency, the Redevelopment Citizens Advisory Council and the Cherryland Association will be improving the streetscape for pedestrian safety by constructing curb, gutter, sidewalk and landscape improvements on the community's highest priority streets. These streets have been determined by studying many factors including school proximity, residential density, collision history, and community support.
