BPAC and should include, but not be limited to, road classifications, roadway geometry, traffic volumes, posted speeds, pavement condition, traffic controls, collision history and number and type of attractors served. The findings of this analysis will be compiled into a recommended bikeways network. This proposed network with be presented to the City and the BPAC for their input. The recommended bikeways will be described by facility type to be implemented (bike path, bike lane, bike route, bicycle boulevard or other), bikeway length and improvements required for implementation. Innovative solutions to implement this network using a combination of standard bikeway types, innovative bicycle facilities such as Bicycle Boulevards, traffic calming and pavement, traffic control and signage enhancements will be developed. This information will be added to the Bikeway Database developed in Task 2. In addition, a bikeway numbering system will be developed to both track facilities for planning and implementation and to be used on signage as a guide to local trails and bikeways. The bikeway numbering system will be consistent with what is being used by the City of Oakland and Alameda County. 3b: Bicycle Support Facilities (BTA items d, e & f) -Based upon the findings of the existing conditions analysis in Task 2, opportunities for additional bicycle parking will be described including locations at BART stations, major AC Transit stops, activity centers, schools and employment centers. Recommendations will distinguish between short and long term bicycle parking and will identify the type of parking appropriate to each land use. In addition, facilities for showering, changing and storing of clothes and equipment will be considered. Modifications to the City's municipal code regarding provision of bicycle parking, showers, and lockers will be recommended. If appropriate, suggestions for a bicycle parking ordinance for new and/or existing development will be provided. In addition, a system for bikeway signage including destination information and the route numbering system from Task 3a will be developed. A comprehensive set of design guidelines for bicycle wayfinding signage was recently completed by the City of Oakland (July 2009). This document will be used as a starting point for developing a program for San Leandro. 3c: Proposed Pedestrian Improvement Areas -Findings of Task 2 will be used to identify the revised set of pedestrian improvement areas to be included in the plan. Typical improvements for these areas will be described including potential traffic calming measures, connections to transit, sidewalk widening, crossing treatments, signage, green spaces, and street furniture. The draft selection of pedestrian improvement areas and typical improvement measures will be presented to the City and the BPAC for their input. 3d: Design Standards -The design standards from the 2004 Plan will be updated for the City's use in implementing the bicycle and pedestrian program recommendations. These design standards will supplement general practice bikeway and pedestrian design guidelines from Caltrans, AASHTO, MUTCD and other accepted sources. Subjects to be illustrated will include but not be limited to Consulting Services Agreement between PROJECT N0. 144-36-292 City of San Leandro and Wilbur Smiths Associates--Exhibit A Page 18
