The Master <br /> Plan requires an update every 5 years to ensure the plan reflects the needs of the community <br /> and to keep the City competitive for funding opportunities. Staff began working on the update <br /> in September of 2015 with a target to have the plan completed in December of 2016. Due to <br /> the revised corridor approach the timeline for completion is scheduled for May 2017. <br /> This report provides an overview of the sections of the Master Plan that are being updated with <br /> a focus on the revised corridor prioritization. Corridor prioritization has been created to elevate <br /> improvements that will create bicycle and pedestrian corridors that are usable by all ages and <br /> abilities. These corridors focus on level of comfort to encourage expanded use. <br /> BACKGROUND/HISTORY <br /> History of Proactive Innovation <br /> The City of Pleasanton has always prided itself in being a leader in alternative transportation <br /> improvements. The 2005 General Plan was one of the first in the Bay Area to include <br /> provisions for Complete Streets and Pleasanton was the first City in the area to adopt a <br /> Complete Streets Policy (2008) which required all new roadway and development projects to <br /> consider all roadway users in their design. <br /> For both pedestrian and bicycle improvements the City has been an innovation leader in <br /> installing tools to promote alternative transportation. <br />
