Over the past 4 years, we have surveyed and discussed the future of our city with residents, and one clear priority has emerged: the need for safer outdoor spaces. Our community wants more safe walking and biking areas. 

​

Lake Chabot Road has been temporarily closed due to recent extreme weather events which caused portions of the road to slide, providing us with a glimpse of what could be - a safer environment for walkers and bikers alike. This closure has transformed the road into a haven for pedestrians and cyclists, people on bikes, walking dogs, and enjoying the tranquility of nature. By keeping it closed permanently, we're not just prioritizing safety; we're investing wisely and making improvements focused on Biking and walking.  With an estimated $11.5 million needed to repair the road for automobile use (equal to the annual road repair budget for the entire City), let's instead allocate these resources towards creating a vibrant, safe environment. 

Sign the petition today to maintain the closure of Lake Chabot Road for good. Let's build a healthier, more enjoyable San Leandro for ourselves, our children, and generations to come! #LakeChabotClosedForGood.
