APPROACH B k F app± YEARS ENGINEERS.SURVEYORS.PLANNERS treatments in the following subtasks. The team will confirm the various pedestrian and bicycle issue locations to be addressed. In the development of the Improvement Measures it is important to identify also identify what is trying to be achieved: • Enhance Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety • Connect Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities Efficiently with the Surrounding Land Use • Provide a Consistent "Message" In addition to the standards, the BKF Team we will use the - • 1 t • following guiding principles within the interchanges in the development and assessment of the improvements: • Correct hazardous situations and upgrade non- III accessible improvements for ADA compliance • Provide bicycles and pedestrians facilities • Look at ramp geometries to encourage slower vehicle speeds until past crosswalks ▪ Locate crosswalk at location with the best visibility and before the point where vehicle begin to accelerate • Crosswalks should be as short as visible as possible • Where bicyclists would travel between moving vehicle for more than 200', provide buffer zone • Where bicyclists merge across a vehicle lane allow flexibility to transition when and where safe as shown in the figure above Task 3.2 Develop Short-term Improvement Measures Short-term pedestrian and bicycle improvement measures are those that could be implemented in the near- term at reasonable cost without affecting interchange vehicle capacity. The BKF team will identify up to two potential short-term improvement measures for each identified pedestrian and bicycle issue location. The team will prepare a concept plan illustrating each measure, and identify potential benefits and impacts associated with each treatment. Considerations may include potential to reduce potential conflicts, adherence to standards or necessity of non- ' _ � standard design exceptions, estimated planning-level cost, and next steps and likely �� -__1� timing for near-term implementation. The options will be reviewed by the CITY with rCaltrans input if the CITY concurs. Task 3.3 Develop Medium-term Improvement Measures Medium-term pedestrian and bicycle improvement measures are those that would require moderate traffic operations and geometric revisions to the interchange.The BKF team will identify up to two potential medium-term improvement measures for each identified pedestrian and bicycle issue location. The team will prepare a concept plan illustrating each measure, and identify potential benefits and impacts associated with each treatment. Considerations may include potential to reduce conflicts, adherence to standards or necessity of design exceptions,traffic operational performance, roadway and structural needs,and next steps for medium-term implementation. The options will be reviewed by the CITY with Caltrans input if the CITY concurs. Task 3.4 Develop Longer-range Improvement Measures Longer-range pedestrian and bicycle improvement measures would require substantial changes to the interchange, e.g., modifications to ramp entrances, bridge widening or retaining walls at abutments. The BKF team will perform a review of City Ot Pleasanton I I-58U and I-6 U 8icyde and Pedestrian Overcrossing Imp proven-ei its PLEAS,SAN TON.
