LAMMPS - Laurel Access to Mills, Maxwell Park, Seminary
The LAMMPS Project is a City of Oakland Department of Transportation (OakDOT) effort to make it safer and easier to walk, bike, and travel through East Oakland. Building on earlier improvements, LAMMPS Phases 2 and 3 are being designed and constructed together as one coordinated project.
Together, these projects will create safer streets, better crossings, and a continuous off-street walking and biking path that connects neighborhoods in East Oakland to schools, transit, shops, and services.
LAMMPS Phases 2 and 3 focus on MacArthur Boulevard and Seminary Avenue, extending the improvements made in Phase 1 (which is now completed).
When complete, the project will:
- Create a 1.7-mile off-street walking and biking path
- Improve safety for people walking, biking, taking transit, and driving
- Calm traffic and reduce speeding
- Close gaps in sidewalks and bike connections
- Improve access between East Oakland neighborhoods and key destinations
The project will connect Millsmont, Mills Garden, Frick, Maxwell Park, and Seminary neighborhoods with:
- Northeastern University
- The Laurel Commercial District
- Eastmont Town Center
- Transit routes on MacArthur Boulevard and Seminary Avenue
