Work Plan—Pleasanton Trails Master Plan June 20,2017 3. Draft Master Plan Formulation Based on guidance from City staff,the BPTC, partner agencies and input from public participation, TrailPeople will prepare a draft Trail Master Plan. 3.1. Draft Goals,Objectives and Policies.TrailPeople will refine the draft goals,and objectives,and develop corresponding policies.This will include policies and best practices for trail operation and maintenance and management to address trail user conflicts and impacts on adjacent uses. 3.2. Preliminary Trail Routes and Alternatives.TrailPeople,with input from Fehr&Peers,will map and describe the potential new trail connection routes and the improvements required to implement them, based on a planning-level assessment,including site reconnaissance of key trail routes to the limits of the budget provided for this task.TrailPeople will summarize the pros and cons of each route or alternative relative to the agreed-upon performance criteria, such as potential natural resource impacts, user experience and safety,site compatablity, right- of-way requirements,cost, permitting,and other relevant factors.The analysis will be completed in a "moon chart"or other summary table format.At this stage the costs to implement alternative improvements and connections will be estimated on an order-of- magnitude basis. 3.3. Draft Trail Standards and Guidelines.TrailPeople,will prepare a set of trail standards and guidelines.This will include design guidelines for trail types/classifications,street crossings and connections(with input from Fehr&Peers as noted below),signage and wayfinding,and conceptual programs for trail use and management,all reflecting current best practices. Starting from the City's Crosswalk Policy and Crossing Enhancement Toolboxes included in the BPMP, and working with the City's traffic engineer, Fehr&Peers will develop a set of guidelines for selecting the appropriate treatment where trails interface with roadways. This will include a decision-making flow chart and a toolbox of treatments, customized to be consistent with the BPMP and for the City's goals and values. These guidelines will help ensure a consistent user experience throughout the City's trail system. 3.4. Crossing and Connections Preliminary Designs(up to 4 conceptual projects)—the TrailPeople team will focus on up to 4 particular challenge areas at a site-specific conceptual design level in addition to the regional planning level analysis of trails for the overall system. These may be street crossings and on-street/in ROW connection challenges,or off-street trail challenges.This will include site reconnaissance and analysis.The concepts will be reflected in the decision matrix and guidelines described in Task 3.3. 3.5. Administrative Review.TrailPeople will transmit the draft products of Task 3 to the City and attend a conference call with City staff,and potentially partner agencies such as EBRPD and Zone 7,to review the preliminary products and prepare for the BPTC and public outreach. Based on comments and direction from the City TrailPeople will revise the products for presentation to the BPTC. 3.6. BPTC Meeting: Draft Trail Master Plan.The draft Trails Master Plan will be presented to a meeting of the BPTC.TrailPeople will prepare a summary,graphic maps and stables,a Powerpoint presentation. 3.7. Public Outreach. The draft Trails Master Plan will be posted on the City's web site and notice will be sent to all those who signed up during prior outreach,and to the identified stakeholders. The public will be invited to comment on the plan on-line,and/or to attend the public workshop and PRC meeting.TrailPeople will prepare a project summary,graphic maps and tables,a Powerpoint presentation and related materials to support public outreach, meetings and events(such as a booth at the Farmer's Market). TrailPeople will help prepare TrailPeople, Landscape Architects and Planners 3
