Table 5-22: Census Tract 7 Bicycle Improvements

Bicycle Improvements Bicycle recommendations around the Golden Avenue and Highland Avenue bus stops will provide a connected and less stressful bicycle travel option to and from the bus stops. The San Bernardino Non-Motorized Transportation Plan provides a planned network of bicycle facilities throughout the City which these recommendations are derived from. The City is currently developing an Active Transportation Plan that should assess these recommendations in further detail.

As shown in Figure 5-21, the bus stops are not currently served by an existing bicycle facility, however, the bus stops are planned to be supported with Class II bicycle lanes running east and west on Highland Avenue. Other nearby proposed bicycle facilities include a Class I multi-use path on the Mid City Connector that connects to the Santa Ana River Trail about half a mile to the west and a Class II bicycle lane on Del Rosa Avenue half a mile to the east of the bus stops.

Where space is available, painted stripe buffers should be installed along all planned Class II bicycle lanes. Signage should be considered to provide users destination information and bring attention to changes in roadway conditions.
