The City has a variety of land uses including residential (29,390 households), retail (Bayfair <br /> Shopping Mall, Westgate Center, Marina Square, downtown shops), commercial (downtown <br /> offices, office parks in the southwest area), and industrial (Alvarado Street, Wicks Boulevard, <br /> etc.) The school system includes nine public elementary schools, two public junior high <br /> schools, one public high school, and seven private schools. Recreational sites include regional <br /> attractions like Oyster Bay Regional Shoreline, Lake Chabot Regional Park, and the San <br /> Leandro Marina. These activity centers throughout the City are potential generators of <br /> commute and recreational bicycle trips. Figure 1 illustrates the City's street system and activity <br /> centers. An improved bikeway system could encourage some current drivers to switch to <br /> bicycles. <br /> 1.3 Existing Plans and Policies <br /> Documents containing existing City plans and policies were reviewed. They include the <br /> General Bikeway Plan Map, the Traffic Code, and the Draft Master Plan of City Streets (the <br /> Master Plan), which functions the same as a Circulation Element of the General Plan and is in <br /> its final stages of development. The General Bikeway Plan Map and the Traffic Code indicate <br /> in part where existing bikeways in the City are. The Master Plan contains general design <br /> policies and specific standards for existing streets by functional classification. The only policy <br /> statement directly related to bicycles states, in general terms, that "the City should provide for <br /> safe and efficient movement of pedestrians and bikes as well as private vehicles, trucks and <br /> buses." However, the new design standards have triggered specific street improvements that <br /> would affect bicycle use. They include the following: <br /> • Construct new Westgate Parkw bet ween Williams and Davis streets - This project <br /> would improve Williams Street's candidacy to be an east -west bikeway corridor by <br /> providing a major connection between Williams Street and Davis Street. <br /> • Widen Alvarado Street between Marina Boulevard and Fremont Avenue from 48 to 54 <br /> feet - This widening might allow the existing bike lanes on Alvarado Street to be <br /> extended southerly to Fremont Avenue. <br /> • W _ ai a I 've •etwee the Sout en 'ac' tc ail .ad rack and tebtate 8:1 <br /> and Fremont Avenue (entire length) right -of -way from 60 to 66 feet - This widening <br /> would make Fairway Drive a candidate to be an east -west corridor and might enable the <br /> construction of bike lanes on Fremont Avenue. <br /> 2 <br />
