Overview
In January 2020, the City hired Alta Planning + Design (Alta) to update the City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan (Master Plan). The current master plan document (Draft Plan) was developed in 2011, and it remained in draft form pending the start of the City’s General Plan Update (which ultimately started in 2019). Nevertheless, the Draft Plan provided guidance for much of the City’s bicycle and pedestrian facility improvements over the past nine years, including the recent bike lane or sidewalk installations along Contra Costa Boulevard, Geary Road, Oak Park Boulevard, Boyd Road, Elinora Drive, Pleasant Hill Road, Woodsworth Lane, and North Main Street. The Draft Plan also identified the various completed trail crossing improvements along the Contra Costa Canal Trail and EBMUD Trail. Given the large number of improvements that were completed since 2011, the Draft Plan needs to be updated to identify the next phase of bicycle and pedestrian improvements, incorporate current policies and design standards in regards to bicycle and pedestrian accommodation, and identify updated funding options for future project implementation.
Project Status
The Draft Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan is now available to download in the Document section below. The public comment period closed on September 18, 2020, and the document was discussed at the Traffic Safety Commission on September 22, 2020. A revised draft document will be presented in 2021 as part of the ongoing General Plan Update process, with additional opportunity for public review and comment.
