When funding becomes available, corridors ranked “High” should be studied further to<br />
determine detailed design requirements.<br />
It can be seen that many corridors on the above list were independently selected for<br />
signal system upgrades by the workshop attendees, emphasizing the importance <strong>of</strong><br />
those corridors. Those corridors are illustrated in Appendix A, the <strong>City</strong> Structure<br />
diagram, excerpted from the General Plan. It is noted that San Pablo Avenue is being<br />
upgraded as part <strong>of</strong> the SMART Corridors program. The prioritization <strong>of</strong> <strong>City</strong> corridors<br />
as part <strong>of</strong> the ITS Strategic Plan thus continues the spirit <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong>’s General Plan.<br />
3.4 SIGNAL SYSTEM ALTERNATIVES<br />
The <strong>City</strong> currently uses a BI Tran central signal system, deployed along a limited stretch<br />
<strong>of</strong> the San Pablo Avenue corridor only. Because the <strong>City</strong> wishes to now implement a<br />
citywide centralized signal system as part <strong>of</strong> this ITS Strategic Plan, the <strong>City</strong> can select<br />
from among three practical alternatives:<br />
• Alternative 1: Expand the BI Tran System citywide.<br />
