Table 5-7: Census Tract 2 Bicycle Improvements

Bicycle Improvements Bicycle recommendations around the Baseline Road at Riverside Avenue bus stops will provide a safer and less stressful bicycle travel option to and from bus stops while supporting the needs of all users. As shown in Figure 5-6, the Cactus Trail and bicycle lanes exist approximately half a mile west of the bus stop. Although there are right-of-way constraints, new bicycle lanes are planned on both Baseline Road and Riverside Avenue.

The recommended improvements are derived from the prioritized bicycle projects from RATP and have been recommended for their proximity to the pilot Census Tract. In coordination with the RATP, 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 rightof-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. Existing bicycle lanes should be extended to create contiguous paths that connect to planned regional Class I multi-use paths and all other bicycle facilities. Signage should be considered to provide users destination information and bring attention to changes in roadway conditions.
