2.2 Phase the construction of Pleasant on Avenue to provide adequate ingress, egress and emergency access to serve the traffic circulation needs of the Planning Area as it develops. Circulation System Policy 3: Traffic Calming Strategies. Utilize traffic calming strategies to slow the speed ofthrough traffic, enhance pedestrian safety, and create a pleasurable streetscape environment. Guidelines: 3.1 Pleasanton Avenue should be designed with relatively short segments interrupted by roundabouts, intersection pedestrian refuge medians, and curves. The purpose of these interruptions is to reduce traffic speeds normally associated with longer, straight stretches of road. 3.2 Utilize roundabouts (Figure 5-3) as a means of reducing traffic speeds while facilitating circulation movements. Roundabouts are not intended to be people-oriented places, but simply attractive traffic control devices. Roundabouts will be subject to further design review and consideration of safety and sight visibility issues. Circulation System Policy 4: Trails and Bikeway Systems. Include trails and bikeways in Phase II projects as shown in Figure 5-4, with off-site linkages as shown on the Community Trails Master Plan. Guidelines: 4.1 The south side of Bernal Avenue between Oak Vista Way and Pleasanton Avenue should be widened to accommodate a six-foot wide bikeway. 4.2 Pleasanton Avenue, south of Bernal Avenue, should be improved with on street bikeways and an off street trail. 4.3 Phase II should include regional trails within the Arroyo de la Laguna setback, and along the drainage channel adjacent to the UPRR Railroad right-of-way as shown on Figure 5-4. 4.4 A pedestrianlbicycle tunnel designed to meet maximum safety and security standards should be considered for construction under 1-680 to link both sides of the Bernal Property open space areas. Circulation System Policy 5: Trail and Bikeway Standards. Develop trails and bikeways that are safe, well marked and constructed to meet the City's design standards. Guidelines: 5.1 Standards for trials and bikeways should be those contained in the City's Community Trails Master Plan, as may be amended from time-to-time.
