FACTOR (WEIGHT) CRITERIA DESCRIPTION (SCORING METHOD)

SAFETY (30%) Location on high injury streets, streets with concentration of fatal and severe collisions (percentile)

EQUITY (30%) Location within a historically underserved area (binary)

CONNECTIVITY

WALKING DEMAND (13.5%) Top 30% of intersections based on demand analysis (tiered with weighting) - All BART stations in Berkeley are within high-demand areas

TRANSIT (6.5%) 0.25-mi from AC Transit Major Corridors (binary)

EXISTING PLAN (20%) Within 0.10-mi of high priority location identified in 2010 Plan (binary)

These factors were applied to Berkeley’s streets to “score” the priority of improving each street. The streets with the highest scores are shown in the next board’s map.
