Task 1: Review Goals, Policies and Programs Consultant will review existing bicycle and pedestrian goals, policies and programs for the City of San Leandro as described in the City's General Plan, the East 14th Street South Area Strategy, the MacArthur Boulevard Streetscape Study, the Estudillo Avenue Streetscape BART Plan, the Marina Connections Plan, the Downtown San Leandro TOD Strategy, and the Bay Fair BART Station Area Improvement Plan. In addition, the team will review relevant county and regional documents that may apply to this effort such as the Regional Bicycle Plan for the San Francisco Bay Area, Pedestrian Districts Study for MTC, Alameda Countywide Bicycle Plan, Alameda County Bicycle Master Plan for Unincorporated Areas, Alameda Countywide Strategic Pedestrian Plan, East Bay Greenway study, UPRR Corridor Improvement Study, City of Oakland Bicycle Master Plan, Oakland Pedestrian Master Plan, and City of Hayward Bicycle Master Plan. These documents will be reviewed for consistency with the plan update, to identify potential new goals, policies and programs for inclusion, and to ensure that the proposed networks will correspond to those identified by the region, county, and neighboring jurisdictions. Deliverable: Tech Memo 1 describing the recommended goals, policies, and programs to be included in the plan update Task 2: Update Background Data and Existing Conditions For Task 2, Consultant will review and update sections of the 2004 Plan adding what information and discussions are needed to meet the requirements for BTA funding as well as the requirements for other funding sources. The list of BTA requirements is included for reference in the Appendix of this proposal. Where appropriate, the BTA section is referenced to appropriate work items in the proposal. Task 2 will include the following: Summary of relevant policy documents from Task 1; Field audit of bicycle facilities (BTA item c) -Consultant will conduct a field survey of existing and proposed on-street bikeways (bike lanes and bike routes) as well as off-street paths and shared-use trail crossings at roadways. During the review, conducted primarily by bicycle, the condition of existing facilities will be assessed, suitability of existing and proposed facilities for inclusion in the network will be determined, and potential more appropriate alternatives to the network in the 2004 Plan will be identified. Surveyors will describe each bikeway by length and type of facility (path, lane or route), roadway geometry, posted speed, traffic volumes (if available from the city), adjacent land uses, attractors, pavement condition and traffic controls. Substandard facilities and the cause for the deficiencies (i.e. design, installation or maintenance) will be documented. Consultant will also catalog the types of bikeway signage and pavement markings currently in use. Hazards and barriers to bicycle travel will be identified. Information about roadway width will be taken from city documents or on-line aerial photo resources. As appropriate, the location of these items will be mapped. This information will be compiled in a Bikeway Database using Microsoft Access. This database will provide easy access to information about the included bikeways and will be used in later tasks to estimate improvement costs and prioritize projects.
