Additional education <br />and enforcement programs are recommended to improve safety for bicyclists and pedestrians. <br />Figure 23 on page 139 of the Plan illustrates the bicycle collisions that occurred between 2011 <br />and 2015. During this four year period, there were 57 reported bicycle-involved collisions in San <br />Leandro, which is down from 79 in the four year period before the 2010 Plan Update. One fatality <br />occurred during this period. This reflects an average of approximately 14 bicycle-involved <br />collisions annually. This number indicates a downward trend in annual collisions as indicated <br />below: <br />Study Period (2011-2015):14 collisions <br />2010 Plan:20 collisions <br />2004 Plan:23 collisions <br />1997 Plan:32 collisions <br />Wrong-way riding and right-of-way violations by either the bicyclist or motorist continue to be the <br />most common cause of motor vehicle-bicycle collisions. <br />Figure 24 on page 141 illustrates the pedestrian collisions that occurred between 2011 and <br />2015. During this four year period, there were 92 reported collisions in San Leandro involving <br />pedestrians with a total of 90 reported injuries. This represents a decrease in pedestrian-involved <br />collisions (down from 109), but an increase in the number of injuries (up from 86). Five fatalities <br />occurred during this period, a sharp increase from zero in the previous period. This data reflects <br />an average of approximately 23 pedestrian-involved collisions annually. This number indicates a <br />drop in the average number of collisions from 27 in the 2010 Plan and the average of 33 annual <br />collisions reported in the 2004 Plan. <br />Reducing collisions will require an active education and enforcement effort. The Plan <br />acknowledges and encourages programs such as Safe Routes to Schools/Transit, Neighborhood <br />Traffic Calming, Bike to Work/School Day, as well as innovative outreach and enforcement <br />programs such as the Pedestrians Don’t Have Armor campaign sponsored by the California <br />Office of Traffic Safety (OTS). <br />The Implementation chapter proposes a methodology to prioritize the various projects and <br />initiatives described in previous chapters. The summary tables include conceptual costs for each <br />project together with potential funding sources and grant opportunities.
