General Plan Addendum * August 26, 2016 Page 6 <br />incorporate best practices such as the National Association of City <br />Transportation Officials (NACTO) standards and the Federal Highway <br />Administration’s Separated Bike Lane Planning and Design Guide. <br /> <br />Page 4-56 Edit Action T-2.3.A as follows (Bike East Bay) <br /> <br />Action T-2.3.A: Maintenance, Planning, and Design Practices <br /> Continue to implement maintenance, planning, and design practices that <br />are consistent with the desire to promote bicycling, walking, and public <br />transit. This should include project review and implementation <br />checklists, and flow charts that provide a means to ensure that complete <br />streets objectives and best practices are considered. <br /> <br />Page 4-58 Edit Action T-3.1.B as follows: (Council/Prola, Bike East Bay) <br /> <br /> Action T-3.1.B: Capital Improvement Scheduling <br /> Include a prioritized list of bicycle and pedestrian improvements, along <br />with cost estimates, in the City's Capital Improvements Program. The <br />City should develop and apply ranking criteria for bicycle and pedestrian <br />projects such as number of activity centers served, closure of critical gaps, <br />elimination of safety hazards, level of existing use, and input from the <br />public. Typical projects could include bikeway and bicycle parking <br />installations and sidewalk and crosswalk improvements, as well as <br />education programs and public awareness campaigns. A priority should <br />be placed on buffered (Class IV) bike lane projects, providing a safe lane <br />for bicyclists with a designated buffer space separating the bike lane from <br />the vehicle travel lane. <br /> <br />Page 4-60 Edit Action T-3.4.B as follows (Bike East Bay) <br /> <br />Action T-3.4.B: Cross-town Bicycle Access to the Shoreline <br />Improve cross-town bicycle routes, with particular attention on routes <br />across Interstate 880, railroads, and other barriers Focus on Williams <br />Street/Fairway Drive as the primary bicycle and pedestrian routes <br />between Downtown and the Shoreline. Prioritization of cross-town access <br />improvements should be included in the next update of the Bicycle and <br />Pedestrian Master Plan. While bicycle and pedestrian movement should <br />also be accommodated on Marina Boulevard and Davis Street, and both <br />streets should be made safer for bicycles and pedestrians, the high <br />volumes and high share of freeway-bound traffic on these streets creates <br />potential safety hazards that makes them less suited for active <br />transportation than Williams/Fairway. In addition, bicycle connections to
