UNION CITY, CA, September 22, 2025 - The City of Union City is proud to announce the completion of the Union City Boulevard Bike Lanes Project! A ribbon cutting celebration will take place this coming Saturday, September 27, 2025 from 10:00 AM-2:00 PM, at Delaine Eastin Elementary School (34901 Eastin Drive).

Spanning approximately 2.4 miles, from Smith Street to the southern City limits, the Union City Boulevard Bike Lanes Project marks a major milestone in the City's commitment to safer, more accessible, and sustainable transportation. Key improvements include:

• Protected bike lanes
• Upgraded traffic signals
• Reconfigured traffic lanes
• Enhanced roadway design

These enhancements are designed to improve safety for cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers, while strengthening connections to local parks, schools, neighborhoods, and the regional trail network - making it easier and safer for residents to choose greener travel options.
