Table 5-4: Census Tract 1 Bicycle Improvements
Bicycle Improvements Bicycle recommendations, within a three-mile bicycle shed, around the Fontana Transit Center will provide a safer and less stressful bicycle travel option to and from bus stops while supporting the needs of all users. The Fontana Active Transportation Plan provides a planned network of bicycle facilities throughout the City.
Where space is available, painted stripe buffers should be installed along existing and planned Class II bicycle lanes. If space is available within the public right-of-way, existing Class III bicycle routes, that typically use sharrows in the road travel lane, should be upgraded to Class II bicycle lanes with two foot wide painted stripe buffers. Signage should be considered to provide users destination information and bring attention to changes in roadway conditions.

As shown in Figure 5-3, short sections of bicycle facilities exist on Orange Way and Juniper Avenue near the transit center. A three-mile multi-use path is proposed for the rail-line easement running about a mile east and west of the transit center. The primary constraints to new bicycle lanes and paths include funding to address narrow sections between curbs, and limits to the public right-of-way. Each road segment with planned bicycle lanes will require detailed site layouts to determine new construction requirements and costs.
The following list of bicycle projects are derived from the prioritized bicycle network in the Fontana Active Transportation Plan as they relate to proximity to the Fontana Transit Center.
