Manual', "Bikeway Planning and Design ". Caltrans standards, which are based largely on American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) documents, are the basis by which bikeways are designed and implemented in California. They provide for three distinct types of bicycle facilities. • Class I Bikeway (Bike Path) -- Provides a completely separated right -of -way for the exclusive use of bicycles and pedestrians with minimal automobile cross flows. • Class li Bikeway (Bike Lane) - Provides a striped lane for one -way travel on a street or highway. • Class 111 Bikeway (Bike Route) - Provides for shared use with motor vehicle or pedestrian traffic. Figure 2 graphically describes the bikeway classification system. Support Facility Standards Currently, City Ordinance 4 -1714 requires the provision for bicycle parking on a case by case basis, as part of Site Development or Use Permit Condition of Approval. Where bicycle parking is required by the Use Permit, the Ordinance requires a minimum number of bicycle parking spaces equal to 5% of the requirement for automobile parking spaces for commercial use classifications, with exemptions for ambulance services, funeral and internment services, etc. The Ordinance allows the required number of bicycle parking spaces for public and semi public use classifications to be specified by the Use Permit. 1..5 Existing Bikeway Segments Fehr & Peers Associates conducted an inventory of existing bikeway segments in San Leandro based on the General Bikeway Plan Map, San Leandro Traffic Code Chapter 20 Section 2000, and information from the Traffic Engineering staff. The inventory includes information such as bikeway location, length, and class, number of auto lanes, average daily traffic, presence of on -street parking, number of railroad and bridge crossings, gaps in the existing system, and Highway Design Manual, California Department of Transportation. 1995. 5
