Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Initial Study This Initial Study Negative Declaration consists of an environmental checklist and a brief explanation of topics addressed in the checklist. This Initial Study evaluates specific impacts associated with the proposed Master Plan. In addition, this Initial Study identifies potential impacts and mitigation measures for those impacts that relate to future implementation of the Master Plan where those impacts can be identified at this time. Some projects due to Master Plan implementation would require substantial construction and could result in impacts that cannot be identified at this time. Those projects will require subsequent environmental review under the California Env/wnmentalQualilyAct. 2. Project Location and Context The Master Plan includes on- street bicycle improvements, off street pedestrian and bicycle improvements including trails along roadways and through open space, sidewalk improvements, and improvements related to the Americans with Disabiliiies Act (ADA) and bus stop improvements. Most of these planned routes, trails, and infrastructure improvements are located within the City of Pleasanton, although some are outside of the city to provide regional trail connections. Pleasanton currently has system of pedestrian- bicycle trails along creeks and canals, and many arterials have Class II bike lanes. Downtown Pleasanton and many residential neighborhoods contain pedestrian amenities and bicycle parking. Table 1 lists streets where on- street bicycle improvements are proposed. Table 2 lists trails with off street improvements. Appendix E of the City of Pleasanton Pedestian and Bicycle Master Plan provides specific locations, the class of the trail, and expected costs for the specific improvements along these streets and trails.
