CiTY OF SAN LEANDRO BiCYCLE & PEDESTRiAN MASTER PLAN ~ 211 <br />development. An excellent source of information about foundations and their <br />funding potential can be found in the Foundation Directory, available at many <br />public libraries or on-line at www.fconline.fdncenter.org/. Several foundations <br />to consider are: <br />„„Compton Foundation, inc. <br />„„Nathan Cummings Foundation <br />„„Ottinger Foundation <br />„„REi Corporate Contribution Programs <br />„„Surdna Foundation, inc. <br />„„Robert Wood Johnson Foundation <br />„„Bikes Belong Coalition <br />ADOPT-A-TRAIL/PATH PROGRAMS <br />Modeled upon the Southern California program of highway maintenance <br />contributions, this program would post signs to indicate which individual or <br />group has contributed to the development, installation or maintenance of a <br />particular bike facility. Trail construction can also be considered by school or <br />civic groups as a year-long project. <br />MEMORIAL FUNDS <br />These programs are advertised as potential donor projects to be funded via <br />ongoing charitable contributions or funds left to a particular project through <br />a will. Most memorial projects include the location of a memorial plaque at a <br />location specific to the improvement or at a scenic vista point. <br />REVENUE-PRODUCING OPERATIONS <br />As part of the development of a trail or bike path, plans can specifically include <br />the location of a revenue-producing operation adjacent to the proposed <br />improvement. For example, bicycle rental/repair facilities, food and drink <br />establishments, and bike storage facilities would be appropriate uses. The <br />on-going lease revenues from these operations could then be used for trail/ <br />path maintenance. <br />Even without a City owned/operated public-private partnership for such <br />an establishment, providing low-stress bikeways that connect to existing or <br />future developments can also increase local spending. <br />349
