from San Pablo Avenue to Harrison Street; Broadway Avenue from Grand Avenue to
3 rd Street; and 20 th Street from Broadway Avenue to Telegraph Avenue. All of the
downtown conduit will tie directly into the planned TMC in the City of Oakland
Building.
• South Oakland Signal Interconnect - On Hegenberger Road/73 rd Street,
interconnect conduit exists from Doolittle Drive to Coliseum Way but the TWP
interconnect cable has not yet been connected to the controllers. There is also
interconnect conduit on 98 th Street between Airport Drive and I-880. Additionally, on
E. 14 th Street/International Boulevard, there is intermittent interconnect conduit with
TWP. Finally, fiber optic interconnect exists on two corridor segments: San Leandro
Boulevard between 37 th Avenue and Fruitvale Avenue and Fruitvale Avenue
between East 12 th Street and San Leandro Street. None of this conduit is tied into a
central facility.
6.2.2 Existing Fiber Optic Network
The City also has an existing fiber network that spans radially from the planned TMC.
Appendix C shows the fiber routing through the downtown network connecting the
following facilities:
• City Hall (One Frank H. Ogawa Plaza)
• Main Oakland Library (125 14 th St.)
• Fire Alarm Building (310 Oak St.)
• PAB (455 7 th St.)
• EOC (1605 Martin Luther King Way)
• Dalzial Building (250 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza)
The City plans to upgrade the existing downtown fiber cable from a 12-strand multimode
fiber optics cable to a new 24-strand single-mode fiber optics cable. The
Transportation Services Division will be allocated two fibers from this new cable for
traffic management purposes.
The City is also currently in negotiations with Comcast for a fiber sharing agreement
between the City and Comcast. Comcast is planning to connect all major City of
Oakland facilities with a fiber optic network over the next five years.

Call Center at 8201 Edgewater and the Dalzial Building. There is also a T-1 leased line
connection between the MSY at 7101 Edgewater and the Dalzial Building. Finally, there
