SAN LEANDRO, CA — San Leandro has launched $14 million of street rehabilitation work, the largest effort in decades. The projects will improve over 27 lane miles on 78 street segments and update 143 accessible sidewalk ramps throughout the city.

Measure BB was approved by Alameda County voters in 2014 and is providing the majority of funding for these projects.
