Additional Revision to the Bikeways Plan after City staff Review:
1. Dublin Boulevard east-west connection: The report has been changed to
recommend a corridor study of the arterial to identify the right-of-way needed
to accommodate Class II bike lanes along Dublin Boulevard. In particular, the
segment through the Downtown area between San Ramon Road and the
Alamo Canal Bridge would require acquisition of right-of-way for the bike
lanes and could result in major impacts (i.e. removal of street trees, utility
relocation, etc.). If the resulting study shows that Class II bike lanes are too
costly and difficult to construct, Class III bike route designation with shared-
use pavement marking and signs will be evaluated as an alternative at those
locations.
2. Amador Plaza Road, Regional Street, and Golden Gate Drive Class II bike
lane designation has been changed to Class III bike route. After further
review it was determined that when streets are widened to accommodate Class
II bicycle lanes, it would result in major impacts such as removal of trees,
utility relocation, major right of way acquisition, etc.. Bicycle activities on
these streets will be monitored and evaluated upon completion of St. Patrick
Way and opening of the West Dublin BART Station, when traffic circulation
around the BART station normalizes.
3. County Line Canal Path- This proposed Class I facility was removed from the
list as a parallel and nearby Class I pathway located at Dublin High School is
being proposed from Village Parkway to the Iron Horse Trail.
4. Pond Path: This proposed Class I facility proposed around a stormwater pond
south of Dublin Boulevard and east of Grafton Street was removed from the
list as it will not be compatible with the operation and maintenance of the
stormwater pond.
S, Instead of revising the existing off-street parking ordinance to address bicycle
parking, the amended report recommends the evaluation of the needs of the
community for bicycle parking on a project-by-project basis.
