BAY FAIR TOD SPECIFIC PLAN Local Bicycle Network The local bicycle network shown in Figure 3.2 is intended to provide bicycle connections between BART, housing, businesses, and public spaces. It will support shorter local trips as well as longer trips through and beyond the immediate Bay Fair Plan Area, including along the future East Bay Greenway. The bicycle network standards and guidelines below are complemented by the proposed multi -modal designs for the existing arterial/collector streets of Hesperian Boulevard, Fairmont Drive, and East 14th Street, included in the "Existing Arterial and Collector Streets" section of this chapter. Local Bicycle Network Design Standards BICYCLE NETWORK. Any new development and new streets in the Plan Area shall provide bicycle facilities and connections consistent with Figure 3.2, though the exact location and facility design may be adjusted in coordination with the City. 2. BICYCLE PRIORITY STREET. A bicycle priority street shall be established to connect the Bay Fair BART Station with East 14th Street and with residential areas to the north and east, as shown in Figure 3.1. This facility may be designed as either a Class II buffered bike lane or a Class IV separated bike lane (i.e. cycle track) consistent with the dimensions shown in Table 3.1 on page 52. If a Class IV separated bikeway is used, it may be one-way or two-way (i.e. a single two-way facility on one side of the street). 3. SHARED LANES. Streets identified as "Shared Lane" in Figure 3.2, shall accommodate bicyclists through a Class III shared bike facility at a minimum, allowing cyclists to share the travel lane comfortably with auto traffic on a low - speed street. However, a Class II bike lane with or without a buffer is preferred and encouraged, and may also be used on streets with this designation. 4. BICYCLE FACILITYTYPESAND DIMENSIONS. Bicycle facilities on local streets within the Plan Area shall be consistent with Table 3.1. 50
