I. EXISTING CONDITIONS <br /> J.1 Background <br /> San Leandro, like many cities around the state and country, is undertaking a new bikeway plan <br /> for the General Plan Circulation Element to address the long -term needs of non - motorized <br /> commute and recreational travel. Fehr & Peers Associates was retained by the City to develop <br /> a comprehensive bikeway plan that would update the existing, outdated bike map. This plan <br /> will serve to meet future needs, offer viable implementation strategies, and provide the City a <br /> competitive edge in funding application. <br /> • <br /> Three technical reports were produced in the course of the study. This final report, the <br /> Bikeway Plan of the Circulation Element, is a compilation of the technical reports as reviewed <br /> by City staff and the Bicycle Action Committee (BAC). <br /> The following individuals attended the BAC meeting(s): <br /> BAC Members City Staff <br /> Robert Dekas Police Officer Norm Weisbrod Associate Planner <br /> Roger Ravenstad Planning Commissioner Gordon Lum Associate Traffic Engineer <br /> Christine Scobee Resident Steven Wu Engineer Intern <br /> Michael Gregory Resident <br /> Bob Philpott Resident City Consultant <br /> Susan Gonzales Resident Matthew Ridgway Fehr & Peers Associates <br /> Alicia Gonzales Resident Joe Wang Fehr & Peers Associates <br /> Ken Pon Resident Michael Jones <br /> J.2 Introduction <br /> The City of San Leandro offers many qualities favorable to bicycle riding: flat terrain, <br /> temperate climate, and scenic recreational resources. Natural obstacles do exist such as the <br /> westerly winds and the heat waves in the summer. Bicycle riding is also inhibited by narrow <br /> streets, busy arterials, overcrossings, bridges, railroads, and the lack of a continuous bikeway <br /> system. <br /> 1 <br />
