BAY FAIR TOD SPECIFIC PLAN Fairmont Drive The design recommendations for Fairmont Drive are intended to provide improved facilities for bicyclists and pedestrians with increased separation from automobile traffic. Specific design guidelines for Fairmont Drive are included below. Fairmont Drive Design Guidelines 1. COUNTY COORDINATION. Fairmont Drive improvements should be made in active coordination with Alameda County, ensuring design treatments integrate to the greatest degree possible with adjacent segments of Fairmont Drive located in Alameda County. 2. ROAD DIET. Reduce the number of through lanes in each direction on Fairmont Drive from three to two to provide space for bike lanes and planting zones, as shown in Figure 3.9. 3. SEPARATED BIKE LANES. Implement Class IV raised one-way cycle tracks placed behind the curb. To minimize driveway conflicts, promote the long-term consolidation of driveways and curb cuts through cross - access easements, as shown in Figure 3.9. 4. EAST -WEST BICYCLE CONNECTIVITY. Establish bicycle lanes along Fairmont Drive within the Bay Fair area to improve connectivity between existing and planned facilities to the east (Fairmont Drive) and west (Halcyon Drive). 5. PEDESTRIAN REFUGES AT INTERSECTIONS. At intersections, narrow the left turn lane to provide space for a pedestrian refuge area in the median. 6. INTERSECTION TURNING RADII. At intersections, tighten turning radii to shorten pedestrian crossing distances and reduce vehicle speeds. 7. STREET DESIGN EXTENSION TO HALCYON. Explore opportunities to extend the Fairmont Avenue corridor street design to Halcyon Drive to add bicycle, pedestrian, and transit improvements to create a multi -modal connection to the former Kraft site as it redevelops. .e]
