AC Transit Update on Park Street Transit Signal Priority and Signal Optimization Project (Discussion)
2026-5721Summary
This item is a discussion regarding the AC Transit Park Street Transit Signal Priority (TSP) and Signal Optimization Project. The project involves installing TSP equipment, wireless interconnects, and upgrading traffic signal controllers and cabinets at the intersection of Park Street and San Jose Avenue. Proposed improvements include signal timing upgrades and wireless enhancements along Park Street. Construction is expected to take up to 3 months, with potential for temporary lane and sidewalk closures, parking restrictions, and bus stop relocations during weekdays between 8:30 AM and 3:30 PM. The project aims to improve transit reliability, reduce passenger delays, and decrease overall corridor congestion with minimal impact on other modes of transportation. The design phase is scheduled for completion in Winter 2025/2026, with construction anticipated for Summer 2026.
Citizen Impact
Residents may experience temporary traffic delays and sidewalk/lane closures on Park Street and San Jose Avenue during construction, which is expected to last up to 3 months. However, the project aims to improve bus reliability and reduce travel times for transit users.
