Transportation Impact Study for Hidden Canyon Residences & Preserve March 2023 Page | 18 facilities in the study area are shown in Figure 3. Existing peak-hour pedestrian volumes at each study intersection are provided in Appendix B. 3.3 EXISTING BICYCLE FACILITIES The 2018 City of Pleasanton Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan describes the following classes of bicycle infrastructure described below- • Class I Bikeways/Multi-Use Paths: Class I bikeways are also referred to as multi-use or shared- use paths. They provide completely separated, exclusive right of way for people to walk and bike. There are 13 miles of Class I bikeways in Pleasanton, which include the Iron Horse Trail, Centennial Trail, Arroyo Mocho Trail, Pleasanton Canal Trail, and Marilyn Murphy Kane Trail. • Class II Bikeways/On-Street Bike Lanes: Class II bikeways provide restricted right-of-way and are designated for the use of bicycles with a striped lane on a street or highway. These lanes are generally at least 5 feet wide (with a minimum width of four feet). The path of travel on bike lanes can be highlighted with green paint at locations of conflict zones. There are approximately 40 miles of Class II bike lanes existing in the City. • Class III Bikeways/Bike Routes: Class III bikeways are signed bike routes where bicyclists share a travel lane with motorists. Marked with sharrows, bike routes often exist where there is on street parking to encourage cyclists to ride a safe distance away from parked vehicles’ “door zone.” Sharrows also inform drivers that cyclists should be expected on the street and given sufficient room. There are approximately seven miles of bicycle routes in the City. • Class III Bikeways / Bicycle Boulevards: are similar to bicycle routes, where bicyclists and drivers share the travel lane. However, bicycle boulevards must be located on residential streets with low auto volume and low speeds. They typically include traffic calming measures to create, safe, comfortable streets, together with enhanced signage and pavement markings. There are currently no bicycle boulevards existing in the City. • Class IV Bikeways / Protected On-Street Bike Lane/Cycle tracks: Class IV bikeways are bicycle lanes that are fully protected from auto traffic through raised elements, such as curbs, plastic bollards, landscaping, or parking. They are a key element of a bicycle network suitable for all ages and abilities due to their comfort and safety benefits. They are also known as protected bike lanes or cycle tracks. The project site is well connected to adjacent areas with Class II bike lanes installed on Dublin Canyon Road to the east, near Foothill Road, and west of the project site to Schaefer Ranch Road, while existing striped shoulders accommodate bicycle travel bordering the project site. Foothill Road and Stoneridge Drive in the vicinity of the project are also equipped with Class II bike lanes. However, there are no bike lanes within the streets east of Foothill Road that provides access to the Stoneridge Shopping Center and West Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station. The project site is located roughly 1.4 miles from the West Dublin/Pleasanton BART station, within convenient cycling distance. The existing bicycle facilities in the study area are shown in Figure 4. Existing peak-hour traffic bicycle volumes at each study intersection are provided in Appendix B.
