Since that original adoption, the City has adopted updates to the plan in 1993, 2002, 2007 and now, 2013. 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan Changes: The 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan Update is a comprehensive update of all of the Bike Plan’s policies, programs, maps, tables, and projects. With a focus on ease of use, the Plan has been reformatted to improve both presentation and content. Notable changes include: Plan Format – Plan topics are now organized in chapters rather than appendices. The Plan’s objectives and policies are found within these chapters and glossary definitions are found topically on the page sidebars. Plan chapters and project areas can be located using graphical tabs at the tops of the pages. For locating Plan requirements relative to California Streets and Highways Code Section 891.2, a separate contents page has been included. Implementation Actions – These have been added to identify implementation steps associated with Plan policies. They are found in the policy sections for each chapter where a relationship exists with the stated policy. They are also compiled in Appendix B, “Implementation Actions Matrix”. Project Ranking and Presentation – For ranking projects, the same criteria established in the 2007 plan has been used, but only the project’s overall rank (First, Second, Third) is included in the 2013 presentation (Appendix A). Included in the “Bicycle Transportation Network” chapter is a discussion of the top two ranked projects by facility type. Graphics are now included to visually orient the location of each project in the City. Projects are presented in groupings by City location (Central, Northern, Eastern, Southern, and Western). 2007 BTP Accomplishments and 2013 BTP Modifications – Appendix G “Accomplishments and Updates”, provides a listing of bicycling related City accomplishments resulting from the 2007 Plan. For those wishing to compare the 2007 plan to the 2013 plan, a synopsis of the additions and modifications is included. i 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan Acknowledgements Acknowledgements Special thanks...

Establish and maintain an integrated system of bikeways and parking facilities that enables safe and convenient bicycling, with an emphasis on travel to employment centers, commercial districts, schools and recreational destinations. Advocate bicycling as a way of addressing climate change, preserving clean air, reducing traffic congestion and noise, conserving land and energy resources, and promoting good health. Develop financial partnerships with other organizations when the resultant bicycle facilities or activities provide significant benefits to San Luis Obispo residents. By 2026, all San Luis Obispo residents will have access to a well designed and maintained network of interconnected bikeways linking City destinations. Where bicyclists share streets with motorists, sufficient space will be reserved for their passage. Once at their destinations, bicyclists will find convenient and secure places to park. Bicycling education opportunities will be available for both children and adults, offering the ability to learn how to safely use bicycles for daily transportation needs. Bicycling becomes an important element of the City’s economy, with connections provided to important regional destinations such as beaches and inland parks. For tourists and residents alike, the careful location and design of off-street paths (such as the Railroad Safety Trail and the Bob Jones City-to-Sea Trail) allow them to appreciate unique community features.

Each category provides opportunities for advocacy and awareness of the community, a tool to measure plan effectiveness, and implementation of facilities supporting bicycling. The Objectives and Policies of the Plan are to be used by engineers, designers, and installers in creating, operating, and maintaining bicycling facilities within the City of San Luis Obispo. They are meant to complement and strengthen standards and guidelines contained within the City’s Standards Specifications and Engineering Standards, Community Design Guidelines, and State and Federal standards as prescribed in the Highway Design Manual, the Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), and American Association of State Highway and Transportation Official (AASHTO) standards. The provisions of this Plan apply to the planning, development and maintenance of bicycle facilities and activities within the corporate limits of San Luis Obispo. In addition, this Plan represents the City’s official policy for the design and development of bikeways in adjoining territory under County jurisdiction but within San Luis Obispo’s Urban Reserve – the anticipated outward limit of City growth. Since 1982, San Luis Obispo’s long-range plans have promoted the use of modes of transportation other than private motor vehicles. The 1994 General Plan Circulation Element includes specific objectives for reducing vehicle use and promoting other modes – with bicycling being a very important transportation choice. Bicycling in San Luis Obispo has many advantages: the weather is good, trip distances and times are relatively short, the cost of purchasing and maintaining a bicycle is modest, connections between origins and destinations can be direct and convenient, and bicycling is healthful – one way of combating the negative effects of a sedentary life style. However, not all bicyclists are equal. Children, seniors, and novice riders, may only feel comfortable riding on very low traffic streets, or facilities separated from traffic. More experienced riders have the ability to integrate with traffic, but still may desire additional space where traffic is moving at higher speeds and need consideration at intersections. The challenge is to provide relatively conflict-free bikeway facilities that meet the needs of the full range of bicyclists’ skill levels. This Plan presents goals, objectives, polices, and implementation actions. Each of these terms is defined at left. The Plan Goals are stated with the “SLO Vision” prior to this introduction (pg. vii). The Plan Objectives are stated at the beginning of each chapter where their relative subjects are addressed, and Plan Policies and Actions are presented at the end of each chapter.

(located with associated policy) Bicycle Friendly Community : A community that provides accommodation for cycling with policies and practices which encourage people to bike for transportation and recreation. Bicycle Transportation Planning in San Luis Obispo Community Profile The City of San Luis Obispo is home to approximately 45,000 people who enjoy its temperate climate, the rolling hills of the Santa Lucia mountain range, and the compact urban design of the City which covers only 12.85 square miles. According to 2010 Census data, San Luis Obispo’s median population age is 26 years. The young age can be attributed to the presence of the area’s two colleges, Cuesta Community College and Cal Poly State University. According to a 2006 Outdoors Foundation survey, individuals of younger ages (specifically under the age of 44) are more likely to participate in bicycling activities. These factors make the City of San Luis Obispo the perfect community for both transportation and recreational bicycling. i 4 San Luis Obispo City of Central Area Projects ImplementationSouthern Area ProjectsNorthern Area Projects Eastern Area Projects Western Area 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan 5Introduction Bicycle Transportation Network1 Bicycle Parking and Support Facilities2 Bicycling Education and Promotion3 Implementation and Funding4 Western Area ProjectsIntroduction Bicycle Transportation Plan History In April 1985, the City of San Luis Obispo adopted its first bicycle transportation plan. The Bicycle Facilities Plan identified a network of on-street bikeways extending throughout the community – mostly along arterial streets and collector roads. In 1991, the San Luis Obispo City Council created a Bicycle Advisory Committee (BAC) and asked it to prepare a bicycle transportation plan that met State law requirements in place at that time. This work was completed and a Bicycle Transportation Plan (BTP) was adopted on October 27, 1993. The second-generation document expanded the scope of bicycle transportation planning in San Luis Obispo by calling for a more complete network of both on and off-street bikeways, and by establishing policies for bicycle parking. Since 1993, State codes that establish the required content of bicycle transportation plans have changed. Therefore, the 2002 plan update focused on developing and including new information as required by Section 891.2 of the California Streets and Highways Code. This update process involved City staff, members of the BAC and its subcommittee, and citizen volunteers. On May 7, 2002, the San Luis Obispo City Council adopted the plan, which was submitted to the Caltrans Bicycle Facility Unit and subsequently certified as meeting the requirements of the California Streets and Highways Code. The next update of the BTP was adopted by the City Council on May 15, 2007. This BTP update focused on updating and expanding policies, as well as creating a comprehensive ranking system for projects listed in the Plan. Again the update process involved City staff, members of the BAC, and input from citizens. Also in 2007, the City was named as a Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists (LAB). In 2008, the Central Coast Section of the American Planning Association presented the City with an Award of Excellence for its 2007 Bicycle Transportation Plan. The 2013 plan builds on the past plans by adding new projects and by refining policies to reflect successful experiences of other bicycle friendly communities. It adds best practices to the policy section, has been reformatted for clarity, and includes more detailed cost estimates of proposed facilities. A summary of the changes can be found in Appendix G, page G-5. The Community Development Director reviewed the Plan for its environmental impact in August 2013, and recommended that a mitigated negative declaration be granted. The San Luis Obispo Public Works Department and the Bicycle Advisory Committee prepared this fifth generation plan. For more information, contact the Public Works Department at (805) 781-7210. This Plan can also be viewed on the Public Works page of the City’s website (www.slocity.org). Public Input In 2008, San Luis Obispo’s Public Work’s Department distributed a Transportation Survey to obtain data on usage and modes of transportation, including bicycling. Over one thousand survey respondents offered information on their primary destination by bicycle, how often they commute by bicycle, and what measures would need to be implemented to increase their bicycle usage. The San Luis Obispo Bicycle Advisory Committee consists of seven members of the public, appointed by the City Council. The purpose of the BAC is to provide oversight and policy direction on matters related to bicycle transportation in San Luis Obispo and its relationship to bicycling outside the City. Members of the Committee serve a term of four years, and are eligible for re-appointment for an additional four years. There is a term limit of eight years, or two consecutive terms. The Committee bylaws call for a minimum of four meetings (quarterly) per year, but the BAC has met at least six times per year since 2006. The Bicycle Advisory Committee spent 12 public meetings updating the Bicycle Transportation Plan over a 2-year period. The Committee’s Bicycle Advisory Committee: A seven member committee appointed by the City Council to provide oversight and policy direction on matters related to bicycle transportation in San Luis Obispo and its relationship to bicycling outside the City. Arterial Streets: Are designed to provide a high capacity of mobility and generally serve longer vehicle trips to, from, and within urban areas. Collector Roads: Are designed to connect traffic from small local roads to arterial streets, while providing a balance between mobility and land access within residential, commercial, and industrial areas. BAC Agendas and Minutes: Advisory Body agendas and minutes can be found on the City’s web site via the “Advisory Bodies” button. www.slocity.org i 6 San Luis Obispo City of Central Area Projects ImplementationSouthern Area ProjectsNorthern Area Projects Eastern Area Projects Western Area 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan 7Introduction Bicycle Transportation Network1 Bicycle Parking and Support Facilities2 Bicycling Education and Promotion3 Implementation and Funding4 Western Area ProjectsIntroduction May 2011 meeting was specifically advertised to solicit input from the public. In addition to considering requests from the public, the Committee considered input from SLOCOG’s annual unmet bike needs requests, input received from other agencies such as the County and Caltrans, and comments received as part of the City’s Bicycle Friendly Community award renewal in 2011. Public input concerning City priorities was provided via community surveys, a community forum, letters from community groups and from individuals in setting the Major City Goals for the 2013-15 Financial Plan which includes support of this Plan. Beginning in May 2013, the “Public Hearing Draft” of the Bicycle Transportation Plan was then reviewed by the City’s Traffic Operations Manager and at public meetings with the Bicycle Advisory Committee, the Planning Commission, and the City Council. Revisions to the draft Plan were made in response to input received. Copies of the draft plan were available for review at the City’s Public Works offices, the City/County Library and on the City’s web page (www.slocity.org). Land Use Settlement Patterns Existing Development Pattern The community of San Luis Obispo began in 1772 with the founding of Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa. During its first century, a retail and financial district and government center formed around the old mission. At the close of the 19th century, the Southern Pacific Railroad (now the Union Pacific Railroad) pushed through the eastern side of San Luis Obispo, forming a circulation barrier for community residents but providing a vital link to interstate destinations. In the mid-1950s, Highway 101, a four-lane freeway, was constructed along the town’s western edge, dividing some older neighborhoods and again limiting cross-town access. Following a traditional expansion pattern, offices and residential neighborhoods now surround the Downtown Area, extend outward and are served by arterial streets, some of which are also State highways. Outward expansion along these arterial streets has provided new shopping and employment centers, now located near the town’s periphery. (See Map 3: Land Use Settlement Patterns, pg. 9.) San Luis Obispo is the County seat and includes offices for City, County, State, and Federal agencies. Major employment centers include California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly), the downtown core, shopping plazas adjacent to Highway 101 along Madonna and Los Osos Valley Roads, and light industrial and office development along Broad and South Higuera Streets. Proposed Settlement Pattern To the north and east, outward growth of San Luis Obispo is limited by topography (e.g. Santa Lucia Foothills and Bishop Peak) and by State- owned land (Cal Poly University). To the west, productive agricultural lands and a flood plain surrounding Laguna Lake border Los Osos Valley Road and Foothill Boulevard. These areas are part of a “green belt” proposed for preservation as open space. Most urban growth is slated for areas along the southern edge of the City, most of which can be seen as in-fill based on the current boundary shape of the City. The extent of future growth is shown in Map 4: Planning Areas (pg. 20). It includes two new residential neighborhoods (the Margarita and Orcutt Areas), further expansion of retail commercial uses along Madonna Road and Los Osos Valley Road, and substantial industrial development north of the County Airport in the Airport Area. Specific Plans have been prepared for these “expansion areas” that incorporate a network of Class I and II bikeways connected to the existing system. Full development of land, as envisioned by San Luis Obispo’s General Plan, will result in the City occupying about 14 square miles, with a total resident population of 57,000 people living in 24,700 dwellings by the year 2029. Downtown Area: The City of San Luis Obispo’s “General Plan, Land Use Element” defines an area that includes the commercial core and surrounding neighborhoods, as the “Downtown Planning Area”. (See Figure 4 of that plan.) Major City Goals: Represent the City’s priorities for the two-year financial plan. In January 2013 the City Council included bicycling and support of the Bicycle Transportation Plan as one of the City’s major goals for the 2013-15 Financial Plan. The goal states: “Expand bicycle and pedestrian paths to improve connectivity and safety, including continued progress on Rail Road Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Trail and Bob Jones Trail, and pursuit of other options contained in the Bicycle Transportation Plan.” A full listing of the “Major City Goals” can be found on the City web site at: www.slocity.org Planning Areas: Lands surrounding or within San Luis Obispo where the City has adopted, or intends to adopt, a specific plan, district plan, enhancement plan, area plan, route plan, or alignment plan to guide its use. i 8 San Luis Obispo City of Central Area Projects ImplementationSouthern Area ProjectsNorthern Area Projects Eastern Area Projects 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan 9Introduction Bicycle Transportation Network1 Bicycle Parking and Support Facilities2 Bicycling Education and Promotion3 Implementation and Funding4 Western Area ProjectsIntroduction Major City Attractions and Destinations Downtown San Luis Obispo The compact downtown core of San Luis Obispo attracts both residents and visitors with its quaint, locally-owned restaurants, boutique style shopping, art venues, and entertainment. The downtown area is home to attractions such as Old Mission San Luis Obispo and Bubblegum Alley, and is the host of entertainment from the year-round Thursday evening Farmer’s Market to the Concerts in the Plaza featuring local singers and music groups during the summer months. Both the Farmer’s Market and Concerts in the Plaza have been known to offer a bike valet to attendees traveling by bicycle. California Polytechnic State University and Cuesta Junior College Cal Poly, a nationally ranked university and one of the finest technical universities in the west, is located north of and adjacent to San Luis Obispo. Cuesta, the local junior college regarded for its excellent educational programs, services, and staff, is located a few miles north of the City limits. With faculty, students and staff totaling over thirty thousand, it is important that these campuses have bicycle facilities available for both the on and off campus populations. Bicycling is an efficient and affordable way to get to, from, and around campus. Inland Parks and Open Spaces San Luis Obispo is the backdrop to spectacular views of the Santa Lucia Mountains and prominent morros (Spanish for a rounded hill or promontory), including Cerro San Luis and Bishop Peak. Open spaces and natural reserves not only surround the City, but provide corridors of parks within the City’s neighborhoods, business districts, and even the downtown core. These open spaces provide opportunity for future trails and Class I bike paths through the City offering recreational access to its natural beauty. Demonstrating overall community support for the Railroad Safety Trail, segments along California Blvd. were funded and built by Cal Poly, the San Luis Obispo Rotary, donors, and the City. This section of the Railroad Safety Trail now spans from north of Mustang Stadium to Hathway Ave. When fully built, the Railroad Safety Trail will span nearly six miles through the City.

Data Collection and Future Trends According to the 2008-2010 American Community Survey (ACS) conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, over sixty percent of the City of San Luis Obispo residents have a short commute to work (less than 15 minutes) regardless of transportation mode. The ACS also shows, however, that over seventy percent of commuters primarily drive alone to work by motor vehicle. This closely matches the national statistic that half of all trips are three miles or less, yet seventy- two percent are made by car (Summary of Travel Trends, 2009). By identifying the barriers to bicycle commuting, future planning and project implementation can be geared towards providing programs and facilities that will encourage motorists to shift to bicycling. Studies have shown that implementation of a comprehensive range of infrastructure, programs, and policy efforts such as those identified in this Plan create growth in bicycle commuting (Pucher, 2011). The main sources of bicycle use data for the City of San Luis Obispo are citywide bicycle counts, the U.S. Census, and a SLO City transportation survey. The bicycle counts indicate the specific areas of the City that are most popular for bicycling, while the Census data and local transportation survey indicate how many residents are commuting by bicycle, along with the type of destination. The City’s bicycle count collects bicycle use volume data for specific locations throughout the City. These counts, combined with bicycle collision data presented in the annual Traffic Safety Report, are used to evaluate bicycle travel patterns, as well as develop and prioritze projects in this Plan. (Data from the bike counts are included in the “Notes” sections of this Plan’s projects: Appendix A.) The 2008 City of San Luis Obispo Bicycle Count Data report concluded that there is an upward trend for average bicycle volumes since 1996. The report also indicated that bicycle volumes at Cal Poly are consistently greater than volumes seen at other locations within the City. Additionally, the report noted a direct correlation between the rise in gas prices and an increase in bicycle count volumes (City of San Luis Obispo, Bicycle Count Data 2008, figures 2 and 5). Currently, this data collection methodology does not account for the commute patterns of children in grades k-12. The Census data from 2000 through 2010 shows an upward trend in bicycle use for transportation to work. In 2000, the data reported that 3.6 percent of the City’s population commuted to work by bicycle. By 2010, it showed an increase to 5.2 percent of the City’s population. This data is derived from the question, “How did the person usually get to work last week?” It does not account for those who use a bicycle to commute to work occasionally, or commuters using multi-modal transportation, such as transit combined with bicycle. Even more significantly, the Census data does not account for commutes to destinations other than work, or for children or students who ride their bikes for transportation. Therefore we can expect that the City of San Luis Obispo actually has a higher percentage of bicycle commuters than is reported in the Census data. The definition for a bicycle commuter used in this Plan does not place limits on the age of the rider or the destination type, only on the trip intent (not including trips primarily for physical exercise or recreation). This definition is consistent with the definition given in the California Streets and Highways Code, Section 890.3. Data collected in the 2008 City of SLO Transportation Survey show a significantly higher bicycle commuter rate in the City of San Luis Obispo than was captured in the Census data. According to this survey, eleven percent of City adult residents use a bicycle as their primary mode of transportation to and from work or school. Further, thirteen percent identified themselves as a bicycle commuter at least 3-4 days a week as an alternative to driving. (Table Intro.1: Primary Usage of Bicycles in San Luis Obispo on the following page, shows the breakdown for how bicycles are used, including recreation, along with common commute destinations by type.) The survey also revealed that sixty-four percent Bicycle Commuter: A person making a trip by bicycle, primarily for transportation purposes, and does not include a trip primarily for physical exercise or recreation. Bicycle commuters at the City’s highest bicycle count intersection: Foothill / California Blvds. Multimodal transportation: More than one transportation type. i 12 San Luis Obispo City of Central Area Projects ImplementationSouthern Area ProjectsNorthern Area Projects Eastern Area Projects Western Area 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan 13Introduction Bicycle Transportation Network1 Bicycle Parking and Support Facilities2 Bicycling Education and Promotion3 Implementation and Funding4 Western Area ProjectsIntroduction of respondents would ride more with inducements (bike paths, lanes, etc.) related specifically to policies and projects contained in this Plan. This sixty-four percent makes up the potential for adult bicycle commuting growth within the City — as many as 28,000 additional adult bicycle commuters! Benefits of Bicycling The City of San Luis Obispo continues to benefit from being a bicycle friendly community for the health and well-being of the community, the environment, and the City’s economy. Being bicycle friendly has allowed the City of San Luis Obispo the opportunity to continue promoting and planning for bicycle facilities and programs. As a League of American Bicyclists’ designated Bicycle Friendly Community, the City of San Luis Obispo is “in a better place to receive grant funding for bicycle-related projects” (Tucker, 2011). The nation-wide recognition of San Luis Obispo as a bicycle-friendly community attracts tourism, providing an opportunity to boost the economic activity within the City. Job Requirement 1% Recreation 40% Visiting Friends 12% Shopping / Entertainment 14% Errands / Appointments 16% Work / School 17% Table Intro.1: Primary Usage of Bicycles in San Luis Obispo Source: 2008 City of San Luis Obispo Transportation Survey A bike commuter seen on Garden Street in downtown SLO proves that not much special equipment is needed to bike to work. The physical activity of commuting by bicycle can decrease a person’s risk of being obese and having abnormal blood pressure (Gordon- Larsen, 2009). Additionally, it is excellent exercise that can increase muscle strength, build stamina, and improve cardio-vascular fitness and heart health (Travers, 2009). As a bicycle-friendly community, the City of San Luis Obispo is leaving a positive footprint on the environment by encouraging commuters to shift from motor vehicles to bicycles, reducing the number of vehicle trips and miles traveled in the community, reducing traffic congestion and improving air quality. Economic Development There are economic benefits to investing in bicycling facilities, from traffic congestion relief to increased real estate values, both individuals and communities are impacted. “Bicycling generates more than $100 billion a year to the U.S. economy. It supports nearly 1.1 million jobs and generates nearly $20 billion in federal, state, and local tax revenues, as well as billions spent on meals, transportation, lodging, gifts and entertainment during bike trips and tours” (Flusche, 2009). Employers of head of household jobs can have an easier time attracting skilled workers to locations which have a high quality of life, generally equated with bicycle friendly communities. The presence of quality bicycle facilities in neighborhoods is also often an indicator of higher real estate values. Further, street infrastructure designs that prioritize bicyclists and pedestrians (traffic calming, bicycle paths, lanes, and parking) have shown to be economically beneficial to area businesses (Drennan, 2003, Meisel, 2010, The Clean Air Partnership, 2009). Outdoor activities such as bicycling are some of the most popular activities for people while on vacation. Bicycling facilities can provide the incentive to increase tourist expenditures on lodging, food, entertainment, and other items. Organized bicycling events also have an economic benefit to the City. For example, the Lighthouse Head of Household: Responsible for paying more than half the cost of keeping up a home, along with having at least one financial dependent. i 14 San Luis Obispo City of Central Area Projects ImplementationSouthern Area ProjectsNorthern Area Projects Eastern Area Projects Western Area 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan 15Introduction Bicycle Transportation Network1 Bicycle Parking and Support Facilities2 Bicycling Education and Promotion3 Implementation and Funding4 Western Area ProjectsIntroduction Bicycling events such as the Tour of California attract both residents and tourists. (Here, fans watch on the outdoor screen next to Mission Plaza while waiting for the arrival of the 2006 Tour.) and Wildflower Century Rides organized by the SLO Bicycle Club showcase over 2,600 riders annually with two-thirds of the riders visiting from out of town and usually staying at least two nights in local hotels. Other large organized rides that come through the region annually include the AIDS/LifeCycle (in 2011 featured 2,362 riders), the Best Buddies Challenge featuring event chair Maria Shriver, the SLO Grand Fondo, the Tri-California Wildflower Triathlon, and the SLO City Triathlon. San Luis Obispo is also a popular stop for touring bicyclists along California’s popular Pacific Coast Bike Route (established by the California legislature in 1976), which runs from the Oregon state line to the border with Mexico. For most households, ownership of a motor vehicle is typically the highest expense after housing. Bicycling provides more mobility options to those who cannot afford a motor vehicle or choose to make other economic investments. It also allows some households to reduce the number of motor vehicles they own and replace some motor vehicle trips with bicycle trips. According to the Texas Transportation Institute, congestion costs the individual commuter in small areas like San Luis Obispo $363 in delay time and wasted fuel annually (TTI, 2011). In 2010, small area commuters were delayed in congested traffic for an average of 18 hours, wasting 4 gallons of gasoline (TTI, 2011). Congestion is expected to worsen as the national economy recovers from recession. The report, “Bike Plan Benefit-Cost Analysis” (Appendix K), analyzed the costs and benefits of installing the complete Railroad Safety Trail and Bob Jones City to Sea Trail, approximately 25% of the total length of proposed Class I bikeway projects in this Plan, and found a benefit to cost ratio of nearly ten to one (see Appendix A for project details). Costs analyzed in the report include both current construction and on-going maintenance costs. Benefits quantified in this analysis include benefits to individuals, such as health and recreation, along with benefits to the community, such as congestion reduction and reduced health care costs. Relationship to Other Documents and Plans This Plan includes information required by Section 891.2 of the California Streets and Highways Code (See Table of Contents for a guide to finding this information). This Plan has been submitted to the California Department of Transportation’s Bicycle Unit and has been certified as being in compliance with applicable codes. This plan supports AB 1358, The Complete Streets Act of 2008. This Act requires that complete streets policies be included in Caltrans studies and the circulation element of city and county general plans when they are updated. The City of San Luis Obispo 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan incorporates the bicycling component of Complete Streets policies in specific plan projects, and within the policies of the plan. Where funding is provided, projects will comply with appropriate current Complete Streets policies. This plan supports both AB 32: Global Warming Solutions Act, and SB 375: Sustainable Communities Strategy. Bikeway policies included in this Plan comply with or exceed those in Chapter 1000 of the Highway Design Manual (Sixth Edition) published by the California Department of Transportation. This Plan was prepared and adopted in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and its guidelines. Copies of its Mitigated Negative Declaration are available from the Public Works Department upon request. This Plan recognizes the 2009 County Grand Jury report titled, “Great Paths but Galling Gaps”, in which the Grand Jury provided the following recommendations regarding the City’s bicycle network: • “The City should continue to aggressively pursue grants and other funding to build bike paths and other bicycle friendly facilities.” • “Completion of the Railway Safety Trail should be the City’s top bike Complete Streets: (Also known as livable streets) are roadways designed and operated to enable safe access and travel for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and public transportation users of all ages and abilities. Cal Poly students using bicycles for transportation help relieve traffic congestion at the intersection of Foothill and California Blvds. i 16 San Luis Obispo City of Central Area Projects ImplementationSouthern Area ProjectsNorthern Area Projects Eastern Area Projects Western Area 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan 17Introduction Bicycle Transportation Network1 Bicycle Parking and Support Facilities2 Bicycling Education and Promotion3 Implementation and Funding4 Western Area ProjectsIntroduction priority, because once finished, it will provide safe and efficient commuting.” • “The City, working with Caltrans, should promptly connect that segment of the Bob Jones Trail that starts at Prado Road but ends just north of Los Osos Valley Road with LOVR.” • “When the LOVR overpass at Highway 101 is improved, the Bob Jones Trail should pass under that heavily traveled street.” In 1990, the California legislature designated the alignment of the Pacific Coast Bike Route which travels directly through the City of San Luis Obispo. This Plan and its Bikeway network include and support that route. Related County Plans This Plan is consistent with County plans adopted by the County Board of Supervisors, such as the Clean Air Plan (2001), Parks and Recreation Element (2006) and the County Bikeways Plan (2010). Existing City segments that connect to existing or proposed County bikeways include the Class I Railroad Safety Trail into Cal Poly and the Class II bike lanes on Broad Street, Foothill Boulevard, Grand Avenue, Highland Drive, Los Osos Valley Road, Monterey Street, Orcutt Road, Prefumo Canyon Road, Santa Rosa Street, and South Higuera Street. Proposed City segments that meet with existing or proposed County bikeways include the Bob Jones Trail, Laguna Lake Bikeways, and Cuesta Park/Loomis St. southbound Hwy. 101 exit. See Appendix L for a detailed listing of both existing and proposed connections between City and County bikeways. This Plan is consistent with the 2010 San Luis Obispo County Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) which includes provisions for non- motorized transportation, adopted by the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG). This Plan supports the following non- motorized transportation goals in the RTP: • NM 1. Promote development of a coordinated and connected regional bikeway system with emphasis on linking gaps of the regional system where appropriate bikeways do not exist. • NM 2. Promote livable community cores and a well connected bike and pedestrian system that promote walking and bicycling. • NM 11. Assure that efforts are made to reduce barriers to cycling and walking (SLOCOG, 2010). SLOCOG’s 2010 RTP focuses on regional segments of the California Coastal Trail and Juan Bautista de Anza trails corridors. The City’s Railroad Safety Trail follows the Juan Bautista de Anza trail corridor. Related City Plans This Plan is consistent with the City of San Luis Obispo’s General Plan, specifically the the Parks and Recreation Element (2001), Conserva- tion and Open Space Element (2006), and the Circulation Element (1994) which calls for a bicycle “Modal Split Objective” of 10% of “City Resident Trips”. This Plan is also consistent with the City’s adopted Climate Action Plan (August, 2012), specifically its Transportation and Land Use Policy TLU 3.1, “Modify Bicycle Transportation Plan to achieve a 20% bicycle mode share by 2020” and the “Complete Streets” section (4.0) to “Modify the General Plan Policies in the SLO2035 update to support a balanced, multimodal transporta- tion network”. This Plan also supports the City’s plan, “A Conceptual Physical Plan for the City’s Center” (1997), which states that the City should “provide more facilities that encourage and enhance the use of bicycles”. The Plan supports provisions within the City’s Zoning Regulations (2010), and the guidelines in the City’s Community De- sign Guidelines (2010). City Planning Areas The City of San Luis Obispo has adopted a variety of planning documents for residential neighborhoods, commercial districts, open space and parks. These prescribe the arrangement of land uses, establish design standards for new development, and identify alignments for transportation corridors, including Class I and II bikeways. Where these plans include bikeway facilities, they may also include funding Bikeways: A general term that includes bike lanes, paths, and designated streets or routes that provide for bicycle travel. All City busses accomodate bicycles, helping to make multimodal transportation an easy choice. i 18 San Luis Obispo City of Central Area Projects ImplementationSouthern Area ProjectsNorthern Area Projects Eastern Area Projects Western Area 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan 19Introduction Bicycle Transportation Network1 Bicycle Parking and Support Facilities2 Bicycling Education and Promotion3 Implementation and Funding4 Western Area ProjectsIntroduction various Class I bikeways in the South Hills Area, and Class II bikeways along principal neighborhood streets.

Planning for the bikeway network is focused on providing safe, reliable, and efficient connections to all major destinations throughout the City, for both transportation and recreational purposes. The projects and policies contained in this plan detail the support and planned expansion of our bicycling network. Included in the network are Class I (bike paths), Class II (bike lanes), Class III (designated routes), as well as alternative or enhanced facilities (such as bicycle boulevards and bicycle-only signals). Providing this network is the City’s key to promoting increased use of bicycles as a transportation choice and encouraging bicycling for health, economic, community, environmental, or other personal reasons. The bicycle only phase of this signal light allows bicycle movement in all directions, while halting motor vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Bicycling Network Objectives Existing and Proposed Bikeways A family enjoys a ride along the Railroad Safety Trail near Sinsheimer Park. Bikeways shall be established at locations shown on Map 1: Bicycle Transportation Network. Policies 1.8, 1.8a and 1.8b offer further guidance for bikeways located within an adopted City planning area and for approval of changes. (See Map 4: Planning Areas, for affected areas).

Currently there are over seven miles of paved bike paths in the City of San Luis Obispo (see Map 1). While some existing paved paths do not conform to established CalTrans design standards for Class I Bikeways, this plan documents them as functional transportation and recreational facilities. All new bike paths are proposed to be built to Class I bikeway standards. There are twenty-six additional miles proposed in this Plan (See Appendix A). Because of their separation from motor vehicle traffic, Class I paths commonly attract users less comfortable riding on roadways with traffic, such as families, young children, and new and renewed cyclists. The preferred location for Class I facilities are corridors not served by existing streets, away from the influence of parallel streets, and with a minimum number of crossings or intersections. Class I bike paths should offer opportunities not provided by the road system. Class I bike paths can be an effective tool in providing transportation connections within neighborhoods, to recreational facilities such as parks and open spaces, or as high speed bicycle commuter routes. As ranked by the City’s Bicycle Advisory Committee (BAC), the top two Class I projects in this Plan are the “Railroad Safety Trail” (RRST) and the “Hwy. 101, North Broad to Marsh St.” bikeways. The Bob Jones City to Sea Trail (BJT) came in a close third. (See the “Implementation and Funding” chapter, for a description of the ranking process. See Appendix A for further project details.) While the RRST and BJT are ranked with an overall score, individual segments that fill gaps between completed segments and connections are priority projects. The priority focus on gaps supports the 2009 Grand Jury report, “Great Paths but Galling Gaps” recommendations. Direction for completion of RRST and BJT projects is also contained in the City’s 2013-15 Financial Plan. (See “Major City Goals”, pg. 6.) The “Railroad Safety Trail”, a planned 4.5 mile long bike path along the Union Pacific Railroad that bisects San Luis Obispo, has long been one of the City’s high priority bike path goals (see map on pg. A37, Appendix A). Construction began in 1995 with various segments being constructed since. A total of 2.25 miles of this corridor have been completed as of December, 2012. When totally complete, the path will provide a north-south bicycling thoroughfare connecting Cal Poly on one end, to the southern City limits at the other end. Along the way the bike path connects neighborhoods previously cut off by the railroad, provides access to other City recreational amenities (baseball fields, City pool, tennis courts), along with schools, the City’s downtown and other shopping destinations. The “Hwy. 101, North Broad to Marsh St.” Class I path is seen as a gap in the originally planned path spanning from North Broad Street to Madonna Road. It will complete the envisioned bikeway by connecting to the Madonna Inn bike path, that was constructed in 2011. The complete bike path will link neighborhoods in the north section of town to shopping and neighborhoods on the City’s west side, and greatly improve non-motorized access to the City’s only middle school. The City’s portion of the Bob Jones City-to-Sea Trail will include over four miles of Class I bike path, linking the west end of downtown San Luis Obispo, with the southwest corner of the City limits and the County path beyond. The total envisioned bikeway will connect San Luis Obispo (City) to Avila Beach (Sea). Planning for the path began in 2000, with completion of the first City section (just over a mile) between Prado Road and north of Los Osos Valley Road (LOVR), in February 2008. Until the current gap between the path end and LOVR is connected (anticipated by Dec. 2013), the path is only useful as a recreational facility. (See map on pg. A72, Appendix A.) An additional notable path is the Prado Road Class I bike path. It is planned for installation during development of the roadway and will link the City’s east and west sides, as well as providing a bicycling connection between the Railroad Safety Trail and the Bob Jones Trail. Class II Bike Lanes In San Luis Obispo, there are approximately thirty miles of Class II bike lanes located along major streets. It is the City’s long-term goal to establish and maintain Class II bike lanes along all arterial streets and highways (except Highway 101) since these corridors provide the Class II Bikeway (Bike Lane): Provides a striped lane for one-way bicycle travel on a street or highway. Class II bike lanes along Sacramento Drive were installed, per this Plan’s policies, when the street was extended to intersect with Orcutt Road.

This Plan proposes an additional eighteen miles of Class II lanes. (See projects in Appendix A.) As ranked by the City’s Bicycle Advisory Committee (BAC), the top two Class II projects in this Plan address bike lane channelization. The top ranked projects target the intersection of South Street at Broad, and the more complex intersection of South Street, Higuera Street, and Madonna Road. While Class II bike lanes are typically dropped prior to intersections that do not have dedicated right hand turn only lanes, channelization provides specific roadway space for bicyclists where turn lanes exist, and also help to provide predictability for all traffic movements. San Luis Obispo’s bike lanes are designed to comply with at least the minimum standards presented in Chapter 1000 of the Highway Design Manual, published by Caltrans. The City’s bike lane width standards are based on the roadway design and motor vehicle speeds and volumes. Appendix C of this Plan provides a table providing guidance for increased Class II bike lane width that is based on allowed parking, motor vehicle speed, motor vehicle volume, and roadway grade. This table is used along with the input of the Traffic Operations Manager, to determine Class II bike lane width whenever new striping occurs. San Luis Obispo’s bike lanes are located at the edge of the roadway adjoining raised concrete curbs or along the outside of parking bays where parallel vehicle parking is provided. In this latter situation, the City stripes both sides of the bike lane to provide greater guidance to motorists for efficiently parking their vehicles outside the bike lane. Some arterial streets within the City’s Urban Reserve (the area around the City where urban development might occur, as described in the City’s General Plan) are under the jurisdiction of San Luis Obispo County or the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). Portions of Broad, Orcutt and Tank Farm Roads are examples of County roads, while portions of Santa Rosa Street is a State highway (State Route 1) under Caltrans control. Class III Bike Routes This Plan identifies streets in residential and commercial districts that are used by cyclists to connect sections of the Class I and Class II bikeway network. Currently there are over twenty miles of Class III bike routes in the City of San Luis Obispo (See Map 1, pg. viii). Also included as Class III route designation, are Bicycle Boulevards and routes utilizing the Shared Lane Marking legend. These facilities have enhancements as described below. Bicycle Boulevards As ranked by the City’s Bicycle Advisory Committee (BAC), the top two Class III projects in this Plan are both bicycle boulevards. They are the “Broad Street Bicycle Boulevard crossing Hwy. 101” and the “Cerro Romauldo Bicycle Boulevard”. Bicycle boulevards are shared roadway facilities that create an attractive, convenient, and comfortable bicycling environment that is welcoming to cyclists of all ages and skill levels. The low speed, low traffic environment created by bicycle boulevards are not only attractive to bicyclists, but also to pedestrians. Although the cost of construction will vary depending on the specific treatments, bicycle boulevards can be relatively inexpensive compared to other bicycle facility improvements. (Walker, et al, 2009). San Luis Obispo’s first bicycle boulevard, The Bill Roalman Bicycle Boulevard on Morro Street, was completed in October 2009 and extends one half mile from Marsh Street to Santa Barbara Avenue. It includes the closure of Morro Street to motor vehicle traffic at its south end, installation of a traffic signal at the Morro-Upham-Santa Barbara intersection that includes a bicycle-only phase, and installation of two traffic diverters along the Boulevard’s length which limit motor vehicle access, but allow bicycling access. This Plan includes projects which will create nearly six more miles of bicycle boulevards (See Appendix A). Shared Lane Marking Legends (Sharrows) On streets where bike lanes are not provided and where curb lanes are Channelization: The use of pavement markings, raised islands, or other suitable means, to regulate and separate intersection turning movements from through movements, for the safe and orderly conduct of motor vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians. Class II channelization on east bound Foothill Blvd. at Santa Rosa Street (Highway 1). Class III Bikeway (Bike Route): A Class III bike route provides connectivity within the overall bicycle transportation system, by filling in gaps between other identified bicycling facilities. Class III routes are generally designated on lower volume streets where motorists and bicyclists share the lane. Class III bike routes that have high bicycling demand may be signed to indicate the route. Bicycle Boulevards: A shared roadway (bicycles and motor vehicles share the space without marked bike lanes) where the through movement of bicyclists are given priority over motor vehicle travel on a local street. Bicycle Boulevards are designated on low speed, low volume local streets that parallel higher traffic arterial streets, and may use treatments to address cut through vehicle traffic and vehicle speed. i 28 Introduction San Luis ObispoCityof Central Area Projects ImplementationSouthern Area ProjectsNorthern Area Projects Eastern Area Projects Western Area 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan 29Chapter One: Bicycle Transportation Network Bicycle Parking and Support Facilities2 Bicycling Education and Promotion3 Implementation and Funding4 Western Area Projects1Bicycle Transportation Network too narrow for motorists and cyclists to safely travel side by side within the lane, the City, with input from the Traffic Operations Manager and Bicycle Advisory Committee, may install Shared Lane Marking Legends (also known as “Sharrows”) to improve the positioning of bicyclists on roadways with regular bicycle use. Sharrows are carefully placed within the travel lane to guide bicyclists to ride in a predictable location that avoids car doors and/or roadway gutters, and to remind drivers to share the road with bicyclists. Unlike bicycle lanes, sharrows do not designate a particular part of the street for the exclusive use of bicyclists. All narrow travel lanes should be considered a shared space. These lane markings are meant to guide bicyclists and remind motorists to expect to see and share the lane with bicyclists. There are currently almost three miles of existing Sharrows installed in the City. They are located on Monterey Street, Broad Street, Capitolio Way, and Industrial Way. Additional Sharrows may be installed in conjunction with projects and according to policy where needs arise. Bikeway Connections This Plan identifies existing bikeway connections that provide access to or between other bicycling facilities or the City’s roadway network. Projects in this Plan support related City Plans that maintain or create unpaved bicycle trails as bikeway connections. These “trails” may or may not be rideable by all users and may be subject to closure for seasonal conditions. Existing bikeway connections are noted on Map 1: Bicycle Transportation Network and listed in Appendix J. Intersections and Grade Separated Crossings Intersections can be significant barriers for bicyclists, depending on the bicyclist skill level and the complexity and volume of the intersection traffic. The California Highway Design Manual states that use of a grade separated crossing is desirable to eliminate intersection conflicts where Class I bikeways intersect high motor vehicle volume roadways. While most projects in this Plan catagorized as Class I, II, or III address intersections (and grade separated crossings) within their scope, there are some projects that specifically focus on an intersection only. According to the California Public Utilities Commission, any new crossings of the railroad must be grade separated. A key piece of our installed Railroad Safety trail is the Jennifer Street bridge, a 51-meter- long pedestrian and bicycle bridge over the railroad at Jennifer Street, linking eastern neighborhoods to San Luis Obispo’s Downtown Core. As ranked by the City’s Bicycle Advisory Committee (BAC), the top two projects in this Plan that involve just an intersection or grade separated crossing are the “North Chorro Intersection Enhancement” and “Santa Rosa at Boysen, Grade Separated Crossing” projects (See Appendix A). Shared Lane Marking Legends (Sharrows): Pavement legends used to assist bicyclists with lateral positioning in narrow lanes or lanes with on-street parking, to remind motorists to expect to share the roadway with bicyclists, to encourage safe passing of bicyclists, to help guide bicyclist to ride outside the parked car “door zone” and to reduce the incidence of wrong-way bicycling. Sharrows as used on Monterey Street. Bikeway Connection: An existing unpaved trail or paved walkway providing connections to bikeways. Grade Separated Crossing: Provides continuity of a facility over or under a roadway or railroad. Intersection: An area where two or more pathways or roadways join together. The Jennifer Street Bridge, constructed in 1998 as part of the Railroad Safety Trail, provides bicycle and pedestrian access from the Ella Street neighborhood to the Railroad Station and downtown. i 30 Introduction San Luis ObispoCityof Central Area Projects ImplementationSouthern Area ProjectsNorthern Area Projects Eastern Area Projects Western Area 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan 31Chapter One: Bicycle Transportation Network Bicycle Parking and Support Facilities2 Bicycling Education and Promotion3 Implementation and Funding4 Western Area Projects1Bicycle Transportation Network Policies Principles that guide implementation of this Plan and other actions associated with bicycling. (Located in each chapter, relative to chapter content.) Implementation Actions Implementation steps associated with Plan policies. (Located with associated policy.) Policies and Implementation Actions 1.8 Development shall provide bicycle facilities, in accordance with City plans and standards pursuant to State and local legal requirements. 1.8a Where a bikeway is located within an adopted City planning area (Specific Plan, Park Plan, Area Plan, etc.), its location shall be as established by that plan. 1.8b After receiving input from the Bicycle Advisory Committee, the Public Works Director may approve adjustments in the location and/or designation of bikeways to reduce environmental impacts, better serve the needs of bicyclists, or provide a bikeway connection through a new development consistent with the intent of the Plan. 1.9 Signs and pavement markings shall be installed along City bikeways, consistent with Caltrans and City standards and those contained in adopted Specific Plans. 1.10 The City shall maintain and make available a bicycling map of the City. Implementation Action 1.10.1: Update and publish a City bicycling map at least every ten years, or as needed. Ensuring Connectivity within the Bicycle Transportation Network: 1.11 Along collector or arterial streets where there are gaps in the Class II bikeway network, share the road signs should be installed using existing sign or streetlight poles wherever possible. 1.12 Where cul-de-sacs are used in subdivisions, pedestrian/bikeway connections shall be provided to through streets. Where perimeter walls are employed, breaks shall be provided at safe locations to enable pedestrian and bicycle circulation to adjoining areas or public streets. Bicycle Facilities: Any physical feature that serves the needs of bicyclists, including bike lanes and paths, bicycle racks and lockers, signs, pavement markings and symbols, places to post information, lighting, and traffic controls. “Share The Road” signage on Monterey St. Overall Network: 1.1 All bikeways shall meet or exceed minimum standards set forth in the current version of the California Highway Design Manual. Implementation Action 1.1.1: It is recommended that the City’s Subdivision Regulations and Enineering Standards be revised to include cross-sections for streets that include Class II bike lanes. 1.2 Neighborhood traffic management projects (traffic calming) shall be designed to safely accommodate bicyclists. 1.3 Traffic Calming: On streets where vehicle volume, speed, or collisions are impacting bicycle travel, the City shall consider possible remedies such as signage, striping, or other traffic calming devices. 1.4 The City shall include small scale projects, such as signing and striping in upcoming City paving projects when appropriate. 1.5 With the exception of Highway 101, all highways and City streets in San Luis Obispo are considered streets that bicyclists will use. Accordingly, all highways (except Highway 101) and public streets shall be designed and maintained to accommodate bicyclists. 1.6 All developments/subdivisions shall be designed with bicycle use as an equal and viable option for transportation to, from, and within a development. 1.7 Developments shall adhere to all policies in this Plan, include all bikeways described in this Plan, and include approved bicycle parking as referenced in the Plan’s bicycle parking policies. i 1 Bicycle Transportation Network 32 Introduction San LuisObispoCityof Central Area Projects ImplementationSouthern Area ProjectsNorthern Area Projects Eastern Area Projects Western Area 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan 33Chapter One: Bicycle Transportation Network Bicycle Parking and Support Facilities2 Bicycling Education and Promotion3 Implementation and Funding4 Western Area Projects Buffered Bicycle Lane: A buffered bike lane is an on-street bike lane that has a painted buffer either between the bike lane and parked cars, between the bike lane and the standard motor vehicle lane, or both. Typically the buffer will be striped with diagonal lines and serves to keep bicyclists from riding in the “door zone” and/or to add separation between bicyclists and motor vehicle traffic. Door Zone: The lateral space next to on-street parallel parked cars within which car doors may open into the roadway. Bike Box: A designated area at the front of a traffic lane at a signalized intersection that places the bicyclist ahead of queuing motor vehicle traffic during the red signal phase. A bicyclist waits in the Bike Box on Madonna Road at Higuera Street. 1.13 In complex traffic corridors where competing demands for the use of the right-of-way present unique challenges that traditional facilities may not wholly meet (e.g., areas with right-of-way constraints or potential conflicts between multiple user groups), the City may consider utilizing alternative design facilities such as, but not limited to: a. Colored Pavement: To enhance the conspicuity of a bicycle lane or a bicycle lane extension in locations with high bicycle and motor vehicle use, such as through intersections and other traffic conflict areas. b Bike Box: To facilitate bicyclist left turn positioning, help prevent right-turn conflicts, increase bicyclist visibility, or to group bicyclists together to clear intersections quickly, the City may install bike boxes at intersections. c. Buffered Bicycle Lanes: Using striping to create a buffer between a bike lane and the adjacent travel lane, and/or the “door zone” of the parking lane. The design treatment that is approved for use by the City’s Traffic Operations Manager will depend on a variety of factors, such as the specific desired outcome, impact to all transportation modes within the corridor, future development plans, success rates of similar facilities in other locales, local supporting data, cost, etc. Addressing Bicyclists at Intersections: 1.14 Intersections shall be designed to allow motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists to see one another approaching and encourage legal movements, per the California Vehicle Code. 1.15 Intersections of Class I bike paths and roadways should align at 90 degrees, either at crossings where motorists can be expected to stop, or a location completely out of the influence of any other intersection. Design of intersections not able to align at 90 degrees should consider assignment of right of way via traffic control devices. 1.16 Directional signs should be installed where bikeways intersect, turn, terminate, or at bikeway connections. (See Operation and Maintenance Implementation Action 1.57.1.) 1.17 Roundabouts or Traffic Circles: Designs shall provide bicyclists the choice of proceeding through the roundabout as either a vehicle or a pedestrian. These facilities should be designed to minimize the speed differential between bicyclists and motorists. In all cases, Class II bike lanes shall be terminated in advance of the roundabout to encourage cyclists to mix with vehicle traffic, and be restored downstream of the roundabout or traffic circle. 1.18 At signalized intersections, bicycle traffic shall be considered during the development of the traffic signal timing. The total intersection clearance interval (yellow change interval plus red clearance interval) should allow bicyclists time to traverse the intersection in compliance with AASHTO guidelines. 1.19 New or modified traffic signals along designated Class II or III bikeways shall include detection for bicycles. Video detection is the preferred system. If in-pavement loop detection is used, pavement legends shall be applied to the road surface and maintained to identify the optimum location for bicyclists to position their bikes to trigger a signal change. Implementation Action 1.19.1: Maintain an inventory of locations where signal actuation pavement legends are refreshed/repainted as part of regular maintenance operations (see Policy 1.57). 1.20 Channelization should be provided at signalized intersections along streets that have Class II bikeways and where dedicated turn lanes are provided. The City will evaluate existing intersections, consider constraints to achieving this policy, and program improvements as appropriate. The City shall encourage Caltrans and the County to do the same. A bicycle detector pavement legend on Lizzie St. at Johnson Ave. is positioned over the most sensitive part of the inductive loop to show bicyclists where to position their bikes to trigger the signal to change. Bicycle Detector Pavement Legend: From the 2012 California Manual of Uniform Traffic Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Colored Pavement: Color is applied to bicycle facility pavement to alert motorists to the presence of bicyclists in known high conflict zones. Colored pavement on California Blvd. at Monterey Street Loop Detector: A type of vehicle detection system for triggering traffic signals that uses an induction “loop” buried in the street pavement. i 34 Introduction San Luis ObispoCityof Central Area Projects ImplementationSouthern Area ProjectsNorthern Area Projects Eastern Area Projects Western Area 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan 35Chapter One: Bicycle Transportation Network Bicycle Parking and Support Facilities2 Bicycling Education and Promotion3 Implementation and Funding4 Western Area Projects1Bicycle Transportation Network 1.21 Unpaved trails and paved walkways identified in this Plan provide bikeway connections and therefore shall be retained and remain open for use by the general public (see Appendix J for listing.) Class I Bike Paths: 1.22 The use of bollards on any facility where bicycling is not expressly prohibited should be avoided. For Class I bike paths, a divided path (two narrower one-way paths just prior to the roadway intersection of the path) should be considered in lieu of the installation of bollards to reduce the potential for collisions. When bollards are used, they should comply with City standards. Implementation Action 1.22.1: Revise City Engineering Standards to include current best practices for bollard use, including but not limited to: minimum five feet clear space between bollards, minimum five foot setback of bollards from structures or path access points, number of posts used, and diversion striping. Implementation Action 1.22.2: Maintain an inventory of bollards, review for compliance with City Engineering Standards, and upgrade if necessary during regular maintenance and/or as funds are available. Adjoining Creeks: 1.23 Class I bikeways shall be located outside of creek setbacks except where otherwise allowed or as provided for in the City’s Conservation & Open Space Element. (See Appendix D.) 1.24 Where setback encroachments cannot be avoided, their extent shall be minimized and existing riparian vegetation shall be reinforced with native plants to create landscaped buffers between the bikeway and the riparian canopy. (See Appendix D.) 1.25 Bikeway encroachments into the creek setback shall be subject to the exception process of the Creek Setback Regulations contained in the Municipal Code. 1.26 The number of bicycle-pedestrian bridges over creeks shall be minimized. Bridges shall: a. Be of a “clear span” design. b. To the greatest extent possible, be located to avoid removal of native trees and streamside habitat or impacts to important aquatic habitat areas . c. Minimize grading of creek banks or changes to the channel alignment. d. Include a smooth riding surface to minimize noise. On Agricultural Land: 1.27 Bikeways that cross or border agricultural land shall: a. Use existing service roads where shared use is compatible with agricultural and bicycling operations. b. Be fenced and signed to discourage trespassing onto adjoining areas. c. Avoid dividing properties in a way that unduly complicates agricultural operations. Near Laguna Lake: 1.28 Bikeways located near Laguna Lake, should: a. Be located beyond and adequately buffered from wetland habitat. b. Not alter the hydrological dynamics of the wetland. c. Be closed when flood hazards exist. d. Ensure construction is preceded by a census of bird life in adjoining areas. Bird populations should be periodically monitored, and remedial action taken, as needed. A divided path entrance to the Bob Jones trail provides clear space for bicyclists while discouraging entry by motorists without the use of bollards. Existing bike paths in Laguna Lake Park will one day be extended through to Foothill Boulevard. The bike path through Meadow Park crosses a seasonal creek. For Bike Paths adjoining creeks see also, Appendix D (Bikeway Sections). When bollards are used, a minimum five feet of clear space should be maintained to ensure access for trikes, bikes with trailers, and other non-standard bicycle set-ups. i 1 Bicycle Transportation Network 36 Introduction San Luis Obispo City of Central Area Projects ImplementationSouthern Area ProjectsNorthern Area Projects Eastern Area Projects Western Area 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan 37Chapter One: Bicycle Transportation Network Bicycle Parking and Support Facilities2 Bicycling Education and Promotion3 Implementation and Funding4 Western Area Projects On Flood Controls Channels: 1.29 Where an existing creek channel is widened to establish a new top of bank, Class I bikeways shall be located as prescribed by Policy1.23. 1.30 Where parallel flood control channels are constructed, Class I bikeways may be located within the riparian canopy established by the new flood control channel, parallel to the channel side that is farthest from the parent creek. (See Appendix D.) 1.31 When existing creeks are widened or when new flood control channels are constructed, Class I bikeways should be installed at the same time or, at a minimum, their rights-of-way shall be reserved and maintained as clear space to enable their eventual installation. 1.32 Along parallel flood control channels, Class I bikeways and service roads may share the same alignment. The structural design of these facilities shall be sufficient to support maintenance vehicles. Near Railroad: 1.33 Reconstruction of “at-grade” railroad crossings by the Union Pacific Railroad or others should be at right angles and shall include the installation of bicycle friendly panels on the approaches and between the tracks. 1.34 New bicycle and pedestrian bridges along the Railroad Safety Trail should generally be separate from existing railroad bridges. 1.35 Class I bikeways along the railroad should include appropriate setbacks and fencing to ensure safe and compatible operations with active rail lines. (See Appendix D.) Lighting: 1.36 Vandal resistant lighting shall be provided for all Class I bikeways and shall be consistent with City plans, located overhead (including in under crossings), generally not more than 16 ft. (5 m) high, direct light downward, have bulbs well recessed to avoid direct glare, and comply with City regulations. 1.37 Lighting for Class I bikeways along creeks shall be designed to shine away from the creek corridor or not installed at locations where potential environmental impacts cannot be mitigated. Class II Bike Lanes: 1.38 In the long-term, all arterial streets and State Highways (except Route 101) should include Class II bikeways. 1.39 “Bikeway Width Design Standards” (Appendix C), shall be used in determining bike lane width based on traffic speed, traffic volume, percent grade, and motor vehicle parking. 1.40 The preferred location of Class II bikeways is at the edge of the road, adjacent to a curb. Bike lanes shall run parallel to the motor vehicle lane, not the curb. Where on-street motor vehicle parking is allowed, bike lanes shall be located along the outside of parking bays next to the travel way. 1.41 When a street with Class II bikeways is repaved, smooth surfaced material shall be used. The pavement within a bike lane shall be installed without seams or creases. Class II bike lanes are placed outside of on-street parking as shown here on South Street. Fencing separates the bike path from the railroad near the intersection of Foothill and California Blvds. i 1 Bicycle Transportation Network 38 Introduction San LuisObispoCityof Central Area Projects ImplementationSouthern Area ProjectsNorthern Area Projects Eastern Area Projects Western Area 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan 39Chapter One: Bicycle Transportation Network Bicycle Parking and Support Facilities2 Bicycling Education and Promotion3 Implementation and Funding4 Western Area Projects 1.42 Before a street with Class II bikeways is slurry sealed, pavement deficiencies such as severe cracking and potholes shall be repaired. Existing surface elevation differences between the edge of asphalt and the concrete gutter shall be made flush. Streets with bikeways shall only receive a Type I or Type II slurry seal. Chip seals are not to be used on streets with bikeways. (See Operation and Maintenance Implementation Action 1.57.1 and 1.57.2.) 1.43 Class II bikeways shall be kept clear of all vegetation, including overhead (a minimum of 8 feet of vertical clearance). 1.44 When installing new drainage inlets along Class II bikeways, undercurb inlets shall be used to eliminate grates from the bikeway. When resurfacing roadways or performing other construction maintenance, inspection and assessment for replacement or repair of drain grates shall be performed and corrective measures pursued. (See Operation and Maintenance Implementation Action 1.57.1 and 1.57.2.) Class III Bike Routes: 1.45 Class III bikeways should be located along streets that meet the following criteria: a. Motor vehicle traffic is less than 10,000 vehicles per day. b. The 85th percentile speed of traffic is less than 35 mph. c. The route provides a connection between Class II bikeways, or is a low-volume motor vehicle route, parallel to a Class II bikeway. 1.46 Along Class III bikeways traffic lanes may be narrowed to 10 ft. and edge stripes installed to channelize vehicles. 1.47 “Bike Route” signage along Class III bikeways shall be considered when the route provides a connection between other bikeway facilities (Class I, Class II, etc.), when traffic conditions (speed, volume, etc.) have indicated a need to raise awareness of the route, or when the route is an identified City, State, or Federal bicycle route (e.g. Bill Roalman Bicycle Boulevard, Pacific Coast Bicycle Route). Bicycle Boulevards: 1.48 Bicycle Boulevards shall: a. Be located along local or collector streets that provide for through bike connections. b. Be optimized for through bicycle traffic with a minimum of stops, without creating cut through opportunities for motorists. c. Be established only after residents or businesses have been provided sufficient opportunity to participate in the development and review of the design. d. Be considered and coordinated with any proposal to adopt a Neighborhood Traffic Management Plan. e. Where appropriate, include traffic calming devices that reduce the differential between motor vehicle and bicycle speeds. f. Avoid diverting a significant amount of motor vehicle traffic to other residential streets, consistent with adopted Neighborhood Traffic Management Guidelines. 1.49 Prior to installation, the Architectural Review Commission shall review and approve the design of bicycle boulevards with input from the Bicycle Advisory Committee. (Map 1: Bicycle Transportation Network identifies approved and proposed bicycle boulevards.) 1.50 The “Bike Boulevard Report Card” (Appendix E) should be used for both planning of future and the review of past bicycle boulevard installations. San Luis Obispo created the pictured stencil for installation on the Bill Roalman Bicycle Boulevard. The intent of the stencil is to raise road user awareness concerning the existence of the facility. Bike Route signs help direct cyclists following the State’s “Pacific Coast” bicycle route through downtown. Under curb drain inlets eliminate the need for in-street drain grates, providing a more consistent surface for bicyclists. i 40 Introduction San Luis ObispoCityof Central Area Projects ImplementationSouthern Area ProjectsNorthern Area Projects Eastern Area Projects Western Area 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan 41Chapter One: Bicycle Transportation Network Bicycle Parking and Support Facilities2 Bicycling Education and Promotion3 Implementation and Funding4 Western Area Projects1Bicycle Transportation Network Shared Lane Marking Legends (Sharrows): 1.51 On streets where bike lanes are not provided and where lanes are too narrow for motorists and cyclists to travel side by side within the lane, the City, with input from the Traffic Operations Manager and the Bicycle Advisory Committee, may install shared lane markings (also known as “Sharrows”) to improve the lateral positioning of bicyclists on roadways with regular bicycle use. Sharrows will most commonly be used on roadways that serve as connections between other bicycling facilities. Criteria for consideration of Sharrow locations may include the following: a. On-street parking b. Travel lane width c. Posted speed limit d. Measured traffic speeds e. Traffic volume f. Traffic composition (presence of buses and large trucks) g. Bicycle traffic volume h. Number of incidents of wrong-way bicycling, or sidewalk bicycling i. Corridors where there is a high potential to increase trips by bicycle Implementation Action 1.51.1: For cost efficiency, installation of the legends and associated signage should be implemented in conjunction with other striping/signage projects. Operation and Maintenance: 1.52 Annexation, planning and development activities, street reconstruction or reconfiguration projects, and street maintenance shall provide for bikeways and bicyclists as prescribed by this Plan. Shared Lane Marking Legend - from the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). A bicyclist on Broad Street downtown uses the shared lane marking legend to position herself outside of the parked car “door zone”. 1.53 Class I bikeways should be kept clear of debris and litter which service may in part be performed by volunteer organizations. Implementation Action 1.53.1: Develop a volunteer program for organizations, businesses, and private citizens to contribute towards maintenance efforts by adopting a bicycle facility. The program should be designed to also generate publicity for the group’s service. 1.54 Class II bikeways along arterial streets and highways shall be swept on a routine basis to remove road debris and litter. 1.55 Site maintenance during construction shall include bicycling facilities outside of the designated work site, to the degree that traffic, work site machinery, and/or environment (wind, water, etc.) may have migrated construction related roadway hazards to them (gravel, sand, etc.). 1.56 The pavement surface of bikeways shall be smooth and free of potholes, and shall be maintained consistent with Section 1003.6 (2) and Table 1003.6 of the Caltrans Highway Design Manual (below). Table 1.2 Bikeway Surface Tolerances (1) Groove--A narrow slot in the surface that could catch a bicycle wheel, such as a gap between two concrete slabs. (2) Step--A ridge in the pavement, such as that which might exist between the pavement and a concrete gutter or manhole cover; or that might exist between two pavement blankets when the top level does not extend to the edge of the roadway. Table obtained from the California Department of Transportation Highway Design Manual, 2009. Direction of Travel Grooves (1)Steps (2) Parallel to travel No more than ½” wide No more than ⅜” high Perpendicular to travel ---No more than ¾” high Pavement “step” exceeding the “Bikeway Surface Tolerances” table specifications. i 42 Introduction San Luis ObispoCityof Central Area Projects ImplementationSouthern Area ProjectsNorthern Area Projects Eastern Area Projects 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan 43 Bicycle Parking and Support Facilities2 Bicycling Education and Promotion3 Implementation and Funding4 Western Area Projects1Bicycle Transportation Network Chapter Two: Bicycle Parking and Support Facilities 1.57 Bikeways and bikeway connections shall be inspected on a routine basis to identify maintenance issues, including but not limited to: a. Potholes. b. “Alligator” cracks. c. Longitudinal and transverse cracks. d. Steps in the pavement surface. e. Hazardous drainage grates. f. Sunken or raised utility trenches or covers. g. Encroaching vegetation. h. Faded or missing bike lane striping, pavement symbols or signs. i. Poor street repairs (uneven surfaces). j. Signal actuation, bicycle placement/positioning stencil. Implementation Action 1.57.1: Inspect bikeways biennially and prepare a report identifying the problems, recommended action, priority, and time frame for correction. The report should include recommendations for bikeway signage. Implementation Action 1.57.2: Maintain a reporting button on the City’s web site to aid the public in reporting problems. 1.58 Traffic control plans prepared for work within the street right- of-way shall address bicyclists during construction. Signage should warn both bicyclists and motorists in advance of any location where the bicycle lane is closed. If space is available, a coned-off four (4) foot wide area for bicycle travel shall be provided between the construction zone and the vehicle travel lane. Implementation Action 1.58.1: Provide bicycling specific information on the “Commuter Update” web page of the City’s web site when any City bikeways are included in the construction area. Bicyclists prefer road signs to be placed well off the pavement, so that the signs themselves don’t cause bicycling traffic to move out further in to the street. The City’s Standard Specifications includes requirements for construction signage for streets with bike lanes. Old style drain grate identified for upgrade during bikeway inspection.

Introduction Secure and conveniently located parking is as critical to bicyclists as it is for motorists. Providing well designed bicycle parking racks located at popular destination points, both commercial and recreational, promotes and encourages bicycling as a transportation choice. Additionally, the provision of bicycle racks help prevent parking or locking of bikes to unacceptable fixtures such as trees, benches, poles, or railings that might interfere with pedestrian travel. To promote bicycling for transportation trips over a few miles, it is important that public transit have bicycle carrying capacity, as well as secure convenient bicycle parking at transit hubs. Finally, to encourage and attract transportation bicyclists from further destinations, there is a need for changing and/or shower facilities at destination points. Bicycle Parking and Support Facilities Objectives Existing and Proposed Bicycle Parking and Support Facilities Until 1993, San Luis Obispo did not have bicycle parking standards. Current standards are now stipulated within various City documents as well as this Plan. The General Plan Circulation Element specifies new development’s responsibility in providing secure bicycle storage and the Zoning Regulations establish the minimum number of bicycle parking spaces being required. The Community Design Guidelines contains standards and criteria for bicycle rack design, location, and installation specifications. Further promotion of increased bicycle parking capacity is included in the Zoning Regulations which stipulate that development projects which provide more bicycle spaces than required may reduce the required car spaces. Additionally, the City promotes its “Racks with Plaques” bicycle rack donation program, which began in 2005. This program provides bicycle parking in the downtown and at public facilities while giving permanent recognition to its donors. By 2013, over 37 racks had been donated, providing parking for 142 bicycles. Through promotion of these standards and policies, bicycle parking availability has been steadily increasing in San Luis Obispo. In the downtown area alone there are currently over 130 publicly owned bicycle racks, with capacity to park almost 400 bikes. For information on the location of bicycle parking policies and standards see Appendix F. The guidance in this Plan complies with the Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals’ (APBP) 2010 Bicycle Parking Guidelines. End of Trip Bicycle Parking The Downtown Core contains the highest concentration of bicycle racks. Use of these racks for short-term bicycle parking is identified by site surveys conducted each month by the San Luis Obispo County Bicycle Coalition. Data from these inspections is used to identify abandoned bicycles and to prioritize the location of future rack installations. The City inspects the condition of these racks annually, replacing or repairing those that are in poor condition. While the majority of bicycle parking racks outside of the downtown are provided by development, the City does install and maintain bicycle parking racks at City parks and open space trail heads. The Racks with Plaques bike rack donation program maintains a “wish list” for bike rack parking needs within the City. A “Peak” rack provides short-term parking in front of the library. Short-Term Bicycle Parking: Parking provided to accommodate visitors and customers, who are generally parking for less than four hours. Bicycle rack designs meeting City standards satisfy this need. i 46 Introduction San Luis ObispoCityof Central Area Projects ImplementationSouthern Area ProjectsNorthern Area Projects Eastern Area Projects Western Area 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan 47Chapter Two: Bicycle Parking and Support Facilities Bicycle Transportation Network1 Bicycling Education and Promotion3 Implementation and Funding4 Western Area Projects2Bicycle Parking and Support Facilities Bikes parked at the Downtown Transit Center shelter. Bicycle Parking at Transportation Hubs The use of multi-modal transportation is increasing within the City of San Luis Obispo. San Luis Obispo Transit (SLO Transit) operates a daily fixed route transit service within San Luis Obispo’s urban reserve, serving major employment centers and all residential neighborhoods. SLO Transit’s Downtown Transit Center located at 990 Palm Street provides bicycle parking and each bus includes a rack that can carry three bicycles. SLO Transit gathers data on bus bike rack use. Over 20,000 transit rider trips with a bicycle have been recorded each fiscal year since tracking began in 2009, with the highest being 26,000 in 2012. Data is also captured noting when racks are at capacity and when and where demand exceeds capacity. This data will help determine bicycle rack needs at bus stop locations. The San Luis Obispo Regional Transit Authority (SLORTA) operates a seven-route regional transit system that serves all urban quadrants of San Luis Obispo County, with its major hub in the Downtown Core of San Luis Obispo. SLORTA’s transit center is located adjacent to the Downtown Transit Center and also includes bicycle parking for its patrons. SLORTA buses can accommodate up to six bicycles per bus. San Luis Obispo is served by Amtrak passenger rail service: the Coast Starlight and the Pacific Surfliner. Bicycles can be accommodated on the Coast Starlight when they are properly packed in boxes provided by Amtrak. They must be checked as baggage and there is a box and handling fee. For the Pacific Surfliner, bicycles can be directly loaded onto the passenger cars; at least one train per day features bike racks on passenger cars. The Amtrak station located at Santa Rosa Street and Railroad Avenue includes short term bicycle parking. The following table indicates existing and proposed bicycle parking facilities at transportation hubs within the City of San Luis Obispo. Long-Term Bicycle Parking: Bicycle parking meant to accommodate employees, residents, commuters, and others expected to park on a regular basis for more than four hours. This parking is to be provided in a secure, weather-protected manner and location. Long-term parking type will be a bicycle locker, a locked room with standard racks and access limited to bicyclists only, or standard racks in a monitored location. Showers: Bathing stalls accompanied by clothing lockers and changing areas reserved for each gender at a work site. Table 2.1Bicycle Parking Facilities at Transportation Hubs Source: City of San Luis Obispo Data Changing and Shower Facilities In-town employee work commute trips are generally less than four miles in length and 20 minutes in duration. Therefore, showers may not be necessary. In contrast, inbound work commute trips from surrounding communities generally are in excess of twelve miles. Showers are warranted for these commuters. San Luis Obispo has facilities that are specifically designed to provide long-term bicycle parking, changing rooms with storage for clothes and equipment, and showers at the same location. Larger employers such as Caltrans, County and City agencies, and Cal Poly provide these facilities for employees who commute to work by bicycle, or public transit combined with bicycling.

Map 2, “Existing Bicycle Parking and Changing Facilities” (pg. ix) identifies the locations of these facilities. These restrooms provide opportunities for changing, but do not provide shower facilities. Construction codes require that non-residential uses provide restrooms when there are on-site employees. These restrooms can be used for changing. However, construction codes do not specifically require changing rooms, showers and storage lockers. The City’s Community Development Department uses its discretion to require changing rooms, lockers, and showers for moderate to larger-scale commercial projects as air quality and traffic reduction mitigation measures which this plan supports with policies (2.22-2.27). In coordination with the San Luis Obispo Air Pollution Control District, this Plan utilizes policies to further establish standards for lockers and showers at employment sites. An inverted “U” rack provides a place to lock bikes at Laguna Lake Park. Policies Principles that guide implementation of this Plan and other actions associated with bicycling.

Introduction Education plays a significant role in the safety and confidence of bicyclists. Law enforcement and bicycling educators are key to providing education of the laws pertaining to bicyclists, as well as proven best-practices for safe bicycle riding. Education is relatively cheap when compared to most bikeway facilities projects, yet it is labor intensive and has to be repeated year after year to have a long term impact. A particular challenge for the City is outreach to a large number of in-coming Cal Poly and Cuesta students each year, who may or may not have been exposed to similar educational opportunities prior to moving to San Luis Obispo. Promotion of bicycling related activities in order to encourage residents to use bicycling as a sustainable option for transportation is another key component of this Plan. Bicycling promotion and bicycling advocacy efforts within the City are in part due to its relationship with regional and national organizations such as the SLO County Bicycle Coalition, SLO Regional Rideshare, and the League of American Bicyclists. Bicycling Education and Promotion Objectives Bike Kitchen: A do-it-yourself bicycle maintenance and repair facility, usually run by volunteers of a non-profit organization. Bike kitchens often offer classes in maintenance, supply tools, and may sell or trade used parts. Kidical Mass: A fun bike ride for families with children stressing legal and safe riding habits. San Luis Obispo County Bicycle Coalition’s, “Bike Kitchen”. Existing and Proposed Bicycle Education and Promotion Partnerships Rideshare SLO Regional Rideshare is a county wide organization that implements programs and promotions to encourage commuters to shift from single-occupancy vehicles to more sustainable options—including bicycling. Organizing programs such as Bike Month, Rideshare Month, and Safe Routes to School, Rideshare continually encourages residents to become a part of the bicycling community. The Rideshare web site contains San Luis Obispo County bike maps, safety tips, and even a “commute cost calculator” indicating the money that can be saved by shifting from vehicles to bicycles. For more information on Rideshare visit rideshare.org (Rideshare, 2013). San Luis Obispo County Bicycle Coalition The SLO County Bicycle Coalition (SLOCBC) is a member supported non-profit bicycling advocacy group. Its mission is, “To improve the quality of life in SLO County through bicycle advocacy, education and inspiration.” Programs include the Bike Kitchen, Bike Valet, Kidical Mass, and bicycling education workshops.

Bicycle Friendly Community: Feedback on San Luis Obispo’s Silver Level BFC award status from the League of American Bicyclists can be found in the Public Works pages of the City’s web site: www.slocity.org League of American Bicyclists The League of American Bicyclists (LAB) is a nation-wide non-profit organization with a mission to “promote bicycling for fun, fitness and transportation and work through advocacy and education for a bicycle-friendly America”. The League’s Bike-Ed program uses trained League Cycling Instructors (LCIs) to teach bicyclists, as well as motorists, about the rights and responsibilities of cyclists, and how bicyclists can ride legally and safely with traffic. Another notable program is the Bicycle Friendly America (BFA) program which designates communities throughout the United States as Bicycle Friendly Communities (BFC) at a Diamond, Platinum, Gold, Silver, or Bronze level. This ranking is based on engineering, education, encouragement, enforcement, and evaluation in regards to bicycling. San Luis Obispo has been ranked a Silver level BFC since October 2007. To learn more about the League and its programs, visit bikeleague.org (League, 2013). Education and Safety Programs Annual Bicycling Safety Rodeo Since 1998, the City has sponsored an annual bicycling safety rodeo during the fall. The purpose of the rodeo is to teach safe riding practices and vehicle code compliance to elementary and secondary school aged children. The rodeo is typically held in a large parking lot or playground and includes a skills course, demonstrations of safe riding practices, distribution of literature, and helmet fitting. The City provides helmets for participants who do not have one, or replaces inadequate helmets. Participants are invited from throughout San Luis Obispo County. The event is broadly advertised, and each year attracts approximately 200 children. In 2011, the Rodeo was expanded to include a Kidical Mass style bicycle ride on City streets. This event gives children experience riding on City streets, while in the safety of a supervised and controlled group. Safety Assemblies The City partners with the SLO County Bicycle Coalition to provide bicycling safety presentations at local elementary schools. Students are provided basic information about safe riding techniques and vehicle code requirements. The training is done in collaboration with the local Safe Routes to School program (coordinated through Rideshare). In 2012, eight (8) safety assemblies were presented to area youth. The City Police Department also conducts safety presentations at the elementary schools the week of the annual Bicycle Rodeo. Adult Bicycling Education Workshops The City partners with the SLO County Bicycle Coalition to provide a variety of bicycling education workshops from lunch seminars to half-day courses, covering a rider’s rights and responsibilities, traffic laws, how to ride confidently in traffic, emergency riding skills, and route planning strategies. The classes are based on the League of American Bicyclists curriculum, and are taught by local League Cycling Instructors (LCI’s). In 2012, ninty four (94) adults participated in these workshops. Similar to the above offerings, the City offers a lunch session covering bicyclist rights and responsibilities, applicable traffic laws, and riding in a visible and predictable manner. This session also includes an overview of State of CA facility design points from the Highway Design Manual and the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), and their relationship to the California Vehicle Codes that govern bicycle riding. Diversion Program Bicyclists that are ticketed for a traffic offense in SLO County may The SLO County Bicycle Coalition offers bicycle confidence workshops teaching participants riding skills, including where to ride on the road, traffic laws that affect bicycling, and common causes of crashes and how to avoid them. Visit www.slobikelane.org to sign up for a street skills workshop! i 60 Introduction San Luis ObispoCityof 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan 61Chapter Three: Bicycling Education and Promotion Bicycle Transportation Network1 Implementation and Funding43Bicycling Education and PromotionBicycle Parking and Support Facilities2 Central Area Projects Southern Area ProjectsNorthern Area Projects Eastern Area Projects Western Area Projects choose to participate in a diversion program taught by the Cal Poly University Police Department. The class includes a presentation of the laws and regulations regarding bicycling and skateboards. It focuses on the proper methods to safely commute while riding bicycles. Transit Driver Awareness Training City contracted transit drivers are required to attend annual bicyclist awareness training, provided by the City of San Luis Obispo. This training includes information on sharing the road with cyclists, bicyclist’s rights and responsibilities, and how to identify and therefore avoid bicyclists that are exhibiting behavior that is common in the highest bicyclist/ motorist collision patterns. Participants in a City of SLO sponsored “Street Skills” bicycling confidence workshop, put on by the San Luis Obispo County Bicycle Coalition. photo credit: Joe Johnston, The Tribune A bicycle commuter partakes in a bike breakfast during Bike Month in May. Programs Promoting Bicycling Bike Month The City sponsors Bike Month, an annual countywide effort encouraging residents to commute by bike and participate in a variety of bicycling related events scheduled during the month of May. Events that encourage bicycle commuting include bike breakfasts, Shop by Bike, and a Commuter Bike Challenge. Other more social related activities include scavenger hunts by bike and “Bike-In” movies. Safe riding practices are promoted in conjunction with all the events through literature distribution, web site posted information, and verbal instruction. Public Service/Mass Marketing Campaign An electronic and print media campaign for the promotion of safe bicycling has been created, and is published periodically when funding or a partnership is available. Enforcement and Engineering Quarterly meetings are held with the City’s Traffic Operations Manager, Transportation Planner, Transit Manager and Traffic Patrol Officers to discuss traffic issues and enforcement. Additionally, the City’s annual Traffic Safety Report (www.slocity.org) collects data regarding the number of reported bicycle collisions. This information is used to identify and develop solutions to enhance bicyclist safety, as well as compliance with laws. The most recent data available shows a flat trend for bicycle collision rates, but an overall rise in bicycle ridership. This result is attributable in part to enforcement efforts. A young participant in the City’s annual Bicycle Rodeo learns about riding outside of the “door zone”. i 62 Introduction San Luis ObispoCityof 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan 63Chapter Three: Bicycling Education and Promotion Bicycle Transportation Network1 Implementation and Funding43Bicycling Education and PromotionBicycle Parking and Support Facilities2 Central Area Projects Southern Area ProjectsNorthern Area Projects Eastern Area Projects Western Area Projects Policies Principles that guide implementation of this Plan and other actions associated with bicycling.

This section of the Railroad Safety Trail was partially funded by the San Luis Obispo Rotary and community donations. The trail connects sections previously built on each end by Cal Poly and the City. Introduction Bikeways in San Luis Obispo may be funded from the full range of financial resources available to the City, (local, State, and Federal). Unless otherwise noted, it is assumed that the City will seek grant funding to pay for some or all of the project costs. Specific funding sources can impact the selection of projects undertaken. Listed in this section are descriptions of the Plan’s project priority establishment process, a description of project cost estimation process, past expenditures, future financial needs, possible funding sources, as well as implementation related Plan policies. Implementation and Funding Objectives i 68 Introduction San Luis ObispoCityof 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan 69Chapter Four: Implementation and Funding Bicycle Transportation Network1 44 Implementation and FundingBicycle Parking and Support Facilities2 Bicycling Education and Promotion3 Central Area Projects Southern Area ProjectsNorthern Area Projects Eastern Area Projects Western Area Projects Implementation of Projects This Plan contains 61 proposed projects with over 150 project segments which have been developed and prioritized by the BAC (detailed in Appendix A). As it was in the 2007 City of San Luis Obispo Bicycle Transportation Plan, the Railroad Safety Trail is the top priority project of this Plan. Project execution order is in part guided by the project’s prioritization (described below) and the following considerations: • Bikeway projects are accomplished from a variety of funding sources and combinations of funding sources. Each bikeway project does not compete for funding with all other bikeway projects. • Many bikeway projects are undertaken concurrent with a larger project such as a street reconstruction or widening. The priority of the larger project often determines when a bikeway project will be accomplished. • Bikeway projects can be closely linked to, or a result of, development. Therefore, the funding and construction of such projects is dependent upon the funding and construction timing of the new development. It is difficult to predict the timing for these projects due to the many uncertainties inherent to development. • Occasionally, the identification and subsequent accomplishment of a project occurs so quickly (i.e. due to safety concerns or funding grants), that the project may not be listed or given a high priority. Project Priority Criteria A priority ranking system has been established to ensure understanding and relevance of the various bicycle transportation projects. The end result is a general classification of the project as a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd priority. To arrive at this classification, the set of defined criteria shown in Table 4.1 is used as a means to compare the projects. The City secured $541,800 in Bicycle Transportation Account funding for construction of the Railroad Safety Trail between Foothill Boulevard and Hathway Street. Ranking System The Bicycle Advisory Committee members individually evaluated Plan projects by ranking them on each of the above criteria using a 0 - 5 scale where, 0 = no relevance, 1 = very low relevance, 2 = medium relevance, 3 = moderately high relevance, 4 = high relevance, 5 = very high relevance. The average total of assigned points established each project’s priority in the Plan as follows: 1st priority = 31 - 50, 2nd priority = 16 - 30, 3rd priority = 0 - 15 Individual project rankings are available for review by request from the Public Works Department. Table 4.1Project Priority Criteria Commuting Will the project be used for, be an aid to, or increase bicycle commuting? Safety Does the project enhance overall safety in the transportation network considering bicycles, motor vehicles, and pedestrians? Recreational Will the project enhance or contribute to an increased use of recreational cycling? Traffic Flow Does the project improve traffic flow considering all users: bicycle, motor vehicle, and pedestrian? Education Does the project educate all travelers? Encouragement Does the project provide specific advantages to using a bicycle as the transportation choice (e.g. parking advantage or travel time to destination)? Implementation Is it feasible to expect implementation within 1-3 years based on known available funding or other variables? Links Will the project improve continuity with existing or other proposed bike routes? Does the project fill a void such as a lane designation? Schools Does the project directly contribute to a safer bike route to school? Regional Does the project provide or improve continuity with existing bike routes that connect to major destination areas outside of San Luis Obispo? (e.g. Cuesta College, Avila Beach)? Project Segment: Each project consist of at least one “segment”. Projects such as the Railroad Safety Trail consists of multiple segments. Each street corridor listed in “Class III Signage Projects” is considered a segment.

Every two years, the City Council adopts a Financial Plan. An integral part of the Financial Plan is the Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The CIP identifies major equipment or facility needs for the next five years. In addition, bikeway projects may be eligible for Regional, State or Federal program funding or grants when a bikeway project meets the appropriate criteria. Identifying funding sources is an important action within this Plan. Awareness of grant programs and funding opportunities can allow development and implementation of these projects at little or no cost to the City. Table 4.2 Funding Opportunities Fe d e r a l Safe Routes to School Program (SRTS) Federal SRTS funds can be used on infrastructure or non-infrastructure projects at schools serving grades K-8.

The Financial Plan identifies bicycle transportation projects that are anticipated to receive funding within the next five years. Appendix B of the 2011-13 Financial Plan, Capital Improvement Plan, identifies the following future financial needs for bicycle transportation between July 2011 and June 2016. Railroad Safety Trail: Hathway to Taft. The Railroad Safety Trail has an existing segment from Cal Poly along the east side of the railroad ending at Hathway Street. The proposed segment will extend the trail further south to Taft Street. The 2011-13 Capital Improvement Plan budgets $300,000 for this project, funded by Federal and State Grants. Railroad Safety Trail: Taft to Pepper. This segment will extend the Railroad Safety Trail from Taft Street to Pepper Street and includes a bicycle/pedestrian bridge over the Union Pacific railroad tracks. The 2011-13 Capital Improvement Plan estimates this project will cost $1,284,000 and funding will be provided by Federal and State Grants. Bob Jones Trail: Los Osos Valley Road to Octagon Barn. This project extends the Bob Jones City-to-Sea trail from Los Osos Valley Road to the Octagon Barn beyond the southern city limits. The 2011-13 Capital Improvement Plan estimates this project will cost $550,000 and will be funded by grants. Bicycle Facility Improvements. This Plan includes small-scale, miscellaneous bicycle facility improvements such as channelization, signage, striping, drain grate replacements, bicycle boulevards and maintenance. The 2011-13 Capital Improvement Plan allocated $25,000 annually, funded by City Transportation Impact Fees. The 2013-15 Capital Improvement Plan allocates $100,000 annually, funded by the City’s General Fund. Table 4.3 Future Financial Plan (2011-2016) Project Estimated Cost*Funding Source Railroad Safety Trail Hathway to Taft $300,000 Federal and State grants Railroad Safety Trail Taft to Pepper $1,280,000 Existing and future grants Bob Jones Trail Connection $870,000 State and Federal grants Bob Jones Trail LOVR to Octagon Barn $550,000 Existing and future grants Bicycle Facility Improvements $125,000 City Traffic Impact Fees Total:$3,125,000 Note: This table reflects applicable cost for land acquisition, design, construction and construction management. * Only 2011-2013 costs have been budgeted. Funding for 2013-15 has not been included. Note that projects listed in Appendix A contain an “Estimated Cost” for the project which may differ from the above table. Appendix A lists rough construction-only cost estimates. These were prepared to assist in project ranking and for use in long-range financial planning and therefore are not included in the table above. Further, a simple compilation of all the “estimated costs” from projects in Appendix A will not provide a realistic estimate of the Plan’s financial needs, as completion of some projects may make others unnecessary and project costs will change over time. Past Expenditures Table 4.4 lists the costs of bicycle related projects within the City from 2008 to December 31, 2012. For consistency within this document, the costs reflected in this table are construction costs only. Depending on the overall project scope, design cost may add significantly to the project. Street maintenance and repair also contributes to the quality of facilities for all users, including bicyclists. The City has annual Capital Improvement Projects for street reconstruction, resurfacing, and microsurfacing totaling millions of dollars every year. While these New roadway lane striping shown in-process during street reconstruction on Higuera St. During reconstruction the bike lane surface was improved and the bike lanes were widened. i 74 Introduction San Luis ObispoCityof 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan 75Chapter Four: Implementation and Funding Bicycle Transportation Network1 44 Implementation and FundingBicycle Parking and Support Facilities2 Bicycling Education and Promotion3 Central Area Projects Southern Area ProjectsNorthern Area Projects Eastern Area Projects Western Area Projects projects are not listed below because they do not breakdown the cost of bicycle facility maintenance and repair, they account for a significant amount of money being used to improve existing bicycle facilities every year.

Δ Funding sources include State and Federal funds, Traffic Impact Fees, and City General Fund. Evaluation and Measurement This Plan includes “Implementation Actions” listed throughout the Plan in each chapter’s Policy section (also collected in Appendix B). The actions listed provide a method to evaluate and measure progress towards the Plan’s goals. Collection of data as a result of these actions, along with completion and implementation of projects and policies listed, are expected to influence future BTP goals, policies, actions, and projects. Administration Any person may file a request for amendment to this Plan with the San Luis Obispo Public Works Department. Requests must identify all proposed changes (additions, deletions, or modifications to goals, objectives, policies, projects, activities, standards or maps) and provide a rationale for the proposed changes. Amendment requests are subject to the City’s environmental review process. They will be acted on no more frequently than semi-annually by the City Council, after review and report by the Bicycle Advisory Committee (BAC) and the Planning Commission. The Department may charge applicants a fee to evaluate a proposed amendment. The fee will cover the cost of evaluation and process administration by staff. The City Public Works Dept. is located at 919 Palm Street. Class II bike lanes, sidewalk bulb outs and speed tables were added to a section of Pismo Street in 2011 as part of a Neighborhood Traffic Management project. i 76 Introduction San Luis ObispoCityof 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan 77Chapter Four: Implementation and Funding Bicycle Transportation Network1 44 Implementation and FundingBicycle Parking and Support Facilities2 Bicycling Education and Promotion3 Central Area Projects Southern Area ProjectsNorthern Area Projects Eastern Area Projects Western Area Projects Kids and parents do a “kidical mass” style ride up Marsh Street as part of the City’s annual bicycle rodeo.

Arterial Streets: Are designed to provide a high capacity of mobility and generally serve longer vehicle trips to, from, and within urban areas. Bicycle Advisory Committee: Provides oversight and policy direction on matters related to bicycle transportation in San Luis Obispo and its relationship to bicycling outside the City. Bicycle Boulevards: A shared roadway (bicycles and motor vehicles share the space without marked bike lanes) where the through movement of bicyclists are given priority over motor vehicle travel on a local street. Bicycle Boulevards are designated on low speed, low volume local streets that parallel higher traffic arterial streets, and may use treatments to address cut through vehicle traffic and vehicle speed. Bicycle Central (or Station): Is a consolidated sheltered storage area for employee bicycles, integrated into the design of job sites, and may be combined with showers and bicycle repair and support facilities. Bicycle Commuter: Is a person making a trip by bicycle, primarily for transportation purposes, and does not include a trip primarily for physical exercise or recreation. Bicycle Facilities: Are any physical feature that serves the needs of bicyclists, including bike lanes and paths, bicycle racks and lockers, signs, pavement markings and symbols, places to post information, lighting, and traffic controls. Bicycle Friendly Community: A community that provides accommodation for cycling with policies and practices which encourage people to bike for transportation and recreation. Bicycle-only Signal: A traffic signal head for regulating bicycle movement at intersections, providing a phase where only bicycles may proceed Bike Box: A designated area at the front of a traffic lane at a signalized intersection that places the bicyclist ahead of queuing motor vehicle traffic during the red signal phase. Bike Kitchen: A do-it-yourself bicycle maintenance and repair facility, usually run by volunteers of a non- profit organization. Facilities often offer classes in maintenance, supply tools, and may sell or trade used parts. Bike Valet: A bicycle parking service, usually set up for special events, offering convenient and secure bicycle parking at locations where a large number of bicyclists are expected. Bikeways: A general term that includes bike lanes, paths, and designated streets or routes that provide for bicycle travel. i 84 85 2013 Bicycle Transportation PlanSanLuisObispo City of GlossaryGlossary Glossary (continued) Bikeway Connection: An existing or planned unpaved trail or paved walkway providing connections to bikeways. Buffered Bike Lane: A buffered bike lane is an on-street bike lane that has a painted buffer either between the bike lane and parked cars, between the bike lane and the standard motor vehicle lane, or both. Typically the buffer will be striped with diagonal lines and serves to keep bicyclists from riding in the “door zone” and/ or to add separation between bicyclists and motor vehicle traffic. Channelization: The use of pavement markings, raised islands, or other suitable means, to regulate and separate intersection turning movements from through movements, for the safe and orderly conduct of motor vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians. Class I Bikeway (Bike Path): Provides a completely separated right-of-way for the exclusive use of bicycles and pedestrians with crossflow by motorists minimized. Class II Bikeway (Bike Lane): Provides a striped lane for one-way bicycle travel on a street or highway. Class III Bikeway (Bike Route): A Class III bike route provides connectivity within the overall bicycle transportation system, by filling in gaps between other identified bicycling facilities. Class III routes are generally designated on lower volume streets where motorists and bicyclists share the lane. Class III bike routes that have high bicycling demand may be signed to indicate the route. Collector Roads: Are designed to connect traffic from small local roads to arterial streets, while providing a balance between mobility and land access within residential, commercial, and industrial areas. Colored Pavement: Color is applied to bicycle facility pavement to alert motorists to the presence of bicyclists in known high conflict zones. Complete Streets: (Also known as livable streets) are roadways designed and operated to enable safe access and travel for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and public transportation users of all ages and abilities. Commercial Core: Includes the Downtown Commercial Zoning District (CD) in downtown San Luis Obispo. (See “Downtown Area”.) Door Zone: The lateral space next to on-street parallel parked cars within which car doors may open into the roadway. Downtown Area: The City of San Luis Obispo’s “General Plan, Land Use Element” defines an area that includes the commercial core and surrounding neighborhoods, as the “Downtown Planning Area”. (See Figure 4 of that plan.) Grade Separated Crossing: Provides continuity of a facility over or under a roadway or railroad. Elementary School Zone: Influence area (defined by the San Luis Obispo Coastal Unified School District) for each elementary school within the City Limits. Head of Household: Responsible for paying more than half the cost of keeping up a home, along with having at least one financial dependent. Intersection: An area where two or more pathways or roadways join together. Kidical Mass: A fun bike ride for kids and families stressing legal and safe riding habits, with a dual educational goal of not only teaching kids how to ride safely but to let the overall community know that “kids are traffic too”. Long-Term Bike Parking: Bicycle parking meant to accommodate employees, students, residents, commuters, and others expected to park on a regular basis for more than four hours. This parking is to be provided in a secure, weather-protected manner and location. Long-term parking type will be a bicycle locker, a locked room with standard racks and access limited to bicyclists only, or standard racks in a monitored location. Loop Detector: A type of vehicle detection system for triggering traffic signals that uses an induction “loop” buried in the street pavement. Major City Goals: Represent the City’s priorities for the two-year financial plan. Multi-Tenant Work Sites: Consist of a structure, or group of structures, on one worksite where more than one employer conducts business. Pavement Management Zone: The City is divided in to nine “Zones” for scheduling regular pavement maintenance and rehabilitation. Planning Areas: Lands surrounding or within San Luis Obispo where the City has adopted, or intends to adopt, a specific plan, district plan, enhancement plan, area plan, route plan, or alignment plan to guide its use. Shared-Lane Markings: (Also known as Sharrows.) Pavement legends used to assist bicyclists with lateral positioning in narrow lanes or lanes with on-street parking, to remind motorists to expect to share the roadway with bicyclists, to encourage safe passing of bicyclists, to help guide bicyclist to ride outside the parked car “door zone” and to reduce the incidence of wrong-way bicycling. Short-Term Bike Parking: Is parking provided to accommodate visitors and customers, who are parking for less than four hours. Bicycle racks meeting City standards satisfy this need. Showers: Are bathing stalls accompanied by clothing lockers and changing areas reserved for each gender at a work site. i ImplementationSouthern Area ProjectsNorthern Area Projects Eastern Area Projects Western Area 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan A-1 4 Western Area ProjectsCentral Area Projects Projects detailed on the following pages include a description of their location and overall priority, along with an intent statement to clarify the basis of the project. For evaluation purposes, each project lists the type of facility, elementary school zone, city pavement management zone, estimated cost, and project length. Further relevant information unique to the project is listed in the notes section. For easy geographical reference, projects are grouped by the areas shown on the Project Areas map (at left). This appendix is divided in to these logical sections, with each containing an area map and an index of projects located within the area. Within each area, projects are listed north to south and east to west. Note that where bikeways are included within specific planning areas or where the City Council has adopted route plans for a particular bikeway, these adopted plans shall guide the bikeway’s more precise placement (Plan Policy 1.8a). This plan presents their location in conceptual form to support those other plans. Appendix A: Implementation Projects Pavement Management Zone: The City is divided in to nine “Zones” for scheduling regular pavement maintenance and rehabilitation. It can be cost effective to implement bicycling projects in conjunction with this schedule. A map of these zones is included in Appendix I. Elementary School Zone: As defined by the San Luis Coastal Unified School District, these are the areas of influence for each elementary school within the City Limits. A map of these zones is included in Appendix I.

Mgt. Zone 4 Hwy 101/Marsh Street Under-crossing Project Description: Install bike lanes on both sides of Marsh from Fernandez Lane, under interchange to Marsh and including bicycle channelization for eastbound on Marsh at Higuera. May require modifications to ramp shoulders and landscaping. Project would provide connection to Cerro San Luis trailhead. Will likely require Caltrans approval. Notes: In 2009, Caltrans constructed a multi-use path along the north side of the underpass. This project recognizes and retains the need for Class II lanes as well. In 2010, the Madonna/Marsh portion of the “Cerro San Luis Class I path” was installed (now known as the Madonna Bike Path). A project relationship exists with “Hwy 101 Class I-North Broad to 101 at Marsh St.” project (this is the remaining portion of the “Cerro San Luis Class I path”). If/when the Marsh/Broad section is installed, this project will have to be re-evaluated and ranked. This project was previously known as Mis-19 in the 2002 Plan. Installation must likely occur with Caltrans’ replacement of the Hwy. 101 bridge in this location. Intent: Provide bicycle facility connectivity between Class II lanes downtown on Higuera and Marsh Streets, with City Open Space and proposed Cerro San Luis Class I path (the existing Madonna Inn Bike Path and proposed path to the north).

Notes: Connects with proposed Beach/King Bicycle Blvd. and proposed Casa to Toro St. Bicycle Blvd. A signal, or other device, may be needed at Broad and at Osos streets. A traffic control device should also be considered for Chorro St. Along with the previously noted intersections, traffic calming and/or bicycle priority treatments may be necessary along the route to match the definition/intent of a Bicycle Boulevard. City of SLO Bicycle Count Data taken Oct. 7, 2008 show the intersection of Osos and Leff use as fifteenth highest out of 28 locations surveyed, with a total count of 95. Counts for the intersection of Morro and Leff were nineteenth out of 28 locations, with a total of 73. The intersection of Buchon and Osos is ranked 5th highest for bicycle/ motor vehicle collisions within the 5 year trend of 2005-2010, having a total of 3 collisions. The Islay Bicycle Blvd. will provide a right-of-way for cyclists in the downtown area. The May 2007 Bicycle Transportation Plan listed this project as the Leff St. Bicycle Boulevard. For this plan the entire project has been shifted one block to avoid the more abrupt grade changes on Leff St. Intent: To provide a low traffic impact East/West through route for bicyclists that serves the downtown neighborhoods south of the downtown core.

Notes: Two potential solutions for this have been discussed in the past. They are: - A ramp extending from the lowest tier of the bridge towards Morro Street. This option has been included in grant applications (unfunded), but is not supported by the Railroad Museum board. - Widening/lengthening of the railroad platform under the bridge and extending along the existing pedestrian walkway to the south of the bridge ramp. This option may require Union Pacific approval. City of SLO Bicycle Count Data taken in Oct. 7, 2008 show the Jennifer St. bridge bike use as tied for sixteenth highest out of 28 locations surveyed, with a total count of 81. Counts for the intersection of Morro and Leff were nineteenth out of 28 locations, with a total of 73. A subsequent special bike count on Morro St. saw a rise to 78 in Oct. 2009. Intent: To allow bicycle traffic to flow between the Railroad Safety Trail and the Bill Roalman Bicycle Blvd. without having to ride through the parking lot or the traffic circle.

Currently, children on bikes are directed to become pedestrians and cross Foothill in the crosswalk (only on the west side of Patricia). When traveling North this means they must also cross Patricia if they are to legally continue riding from this point. Proposed solutions to the intersection need to be identified. City of SLO Bicycle Count Data taken in 2008 show the intersection of Foothill and Tassajara use as sixteenth highest out of 28 locations surveyed, with a total count of 81.

Project Description: Provide a protected crossing of Foothill Blvd. at Ferrini Rd. Notes: Possible solutions could include a traffic signal that includes video detection for bicyclists, a bicycle/pedestrian only signal, lane configuration changes on Foothill, or a grade separated crossing. This project has a direct relationship to the creation of an extension of Cerro Romauldo as a Class I path from Ferrini to N. Chorro. If the Class I extension is in place or is funded, then this proposed project may not be as necessary for a BB link, and therefore would impact its ranking. There is also a relationship to the proposed creation of Cerro Romauldo as a Bike Blvd. City of SLO Bicycle Count Data taken in 2008 show the intersection of Foothill and Tassajara use as sixteenth highest out of 28 locations surveyed, with a total count of 81.

Notes: Will require Caltrans, Fish and Game and Corps of Engineers approval. The South bound Hwy. 101 exit was added in the 2013 BTP update to replace the closing of Miossi to bicyclists. The 2013 plan also presents the project, “Cuesta Park / Loomis South bound Hwy 101 Exit”, a stand alone project to create a new exit from Hwy. 101 South for bicyclists only. While the projects are not mutually exclusive, the implementation of one will impact the ranking of the other. This project was formerly known as Mis 23 in the Bicycle Transportation Plan dated May 7, 2002. In it the cost associated with this project are noted as 50% City, 50% Recreation grant.

This is only a suggestion. Hill St. may be more desirable. Property ownership, Caltrans control/approval and terrain are all issues which may impact the final route of the path. Has a relationship with the Broad Street Bike Blvd., and Hwy. 101 Marsh St. Under-crossing projects. This project was known as the “Cerro San Luis Class I path” in the 2007 Bike plan. In 2010, a portion of the project was built from Marsh St. to Madonna and is known as the Madonna Bike path. Intent: Create a link between N. Broad St. and Madonna Rd. which does not require using downtown or the busy Madonna Rd./Higuera/ South St. intersections. Link will provide a less complex traffic route with access to Madonna Rd. shopping and Laguna Middle school for N. Broad/N. Chorro and Foothill neighborhood commuters, as well as recreational users.

Mgt. Zone 8 Railroad Safety Trail (RRST): Overall Project Project Description: A bikeway facility paralleling the railroad tracks from the northern to the southern City Limit. Wherever possible the bikeway shall be a Class I facility. Notes: Primary segments are those whose completion will create a single continuous north to south route, and which are currently seen as the most attainable routes due to known right-of-way or funding issues. Support segments are those that enhance the Primary route and should be pursued. Note that the original vision for this bikeway was a Class I facility adjacent to the railroad tracks, benefitting from the railroad gradient. As does this plan, the Bicycle Transportation Plan updated May 2007, listed this as a large project with component segments. In that plan the naming convention was brought forward from the plan dated May 7th 2002, which listed the pieces as individual projects “RBP 1 - 19”. For this plan, each project segment has been renamed by logical location identifiers. The overall project consists of eighteen component segments. Breaking the project in to component segments allows them to be treated (funded and implemented) separately. Only the overall project, listed here, has been ranked. Cross referencing of naming is supplied in Appendix H. The 2009 Grand Jury report, “Great Paths but Galling Gaps: Bicycle Riding in SLO County” included the following recommendation: “Completion of the Railway Safety Trail should be the City’s top bike priority, because once finished, it will provide safe and efficient commuting.” Intent: The intent of this project is to create the major north/south bicycle thoroughfare for the City serving downtown neighborhoods and businesses, Cal Poly, elementary schools, and all the Broad Street corridor neighborhoods and businesses. Priority: First School Zones: Bishop Peak Hawthorne Sinsheimer Los Ranchos Class: I Project Length (feet): 26,773 Estimated Cost: see individual segments Segment: Highland Drive to Mustang Stadium Project Description: Support segment - Class I path on east side of RR from the sports complex north of Highland Drive, to the stadium. Extend path in back of palm trees to cross Highland Dr. on an 82 ft. bridge with deck approaches and extend to sports complex entrance. Notes: The segment is currently outside the City limits. It was known in previous plans as RBP8. In those plans the project extended to the campus entrance at Campus Way. The section from Campus Way to the Stadium was completed by Cal Poly in 2009. A 2011 bicycle circulation study done for Cal Poly indicated that this project may require the realignment of California Blvd., due to space limitations concerning the railroad right-of-way.

Notes: Right-of-way acquisition may be required impacting cost. The current layout of this multi-intersection presents three distinct challenge areas for bicyclists: 1) South bound on S. Higuera street forces bicyclists to the right of a two lane wide right-hand-turn. 2) North bound on S. Higuera needs additional right of way as Class II bike lane is dropped forcing bicyclists into vehicle lane. 3) North bound on Madonna has a difficult diverge lane transition prior to the intersection. Prior to relinquishing the intersection to the City, Caltrans installed a “Bike Box” at this leg/direction of the intersection in 2010 to assist with visibility issues related to left turning cyclists and straight through motorists. This facility is being evaluated for effectiveness. City of SLO Bicycle Count Data taken in 2008 show this intersection’s use as seventh highest out of 27 locations surveyed, with a total count of 154.

Laguna Lake Bikeways - C Project Length (feet): 9,970 Estimated Cost: $6,000,000 Bridge to Laguna Middle School Project Description: Install a bicycle/pedestrian bridge over Prefumo Creek and a pathway connection between Vista del Lago and Oceanaire Dr. Notes: This project was the desired route for a 2007 BTP project that received Safe Routes to School funding. The City did not own land or easements needed on the south side of the creek. Unable to obtain an easement, the City developed a Class I facility running parallel to LOVR between Oceanaire and Laguna Lane. If easements can be obtained in the future, this project should be pursued. Intent: Provide an off-street connection between neighborhoods (Laguna Ln. and Oceanaire Dr.) and improved bicycle and pedestrian access to C.L. Smith Elementary School and Laguna Middle School. Project allows users to travel between neighborhoods without having to utilize the Los Osos Valley Road corridor. Priority: First School Zone: C.L. Smith Class: I C.L. Smith School L. O . V . R .

Smith Hawthorne Class: I and II Project Description: Class I bike paths and Class II lanes on Prado Road from the western boundary of the Margarita Area Specific Plan, continuing on to a grade separated crossing of US 101, and then continuing on Dalidio Rd. to Laguna Lake Park. Notes: • There is a need for a Class I crossing of Hwy 101 between LOVR and Madonna roads. Either a bicycle/ped only crossing, or a motor vehicle crossing with both Class I and Class II facilities will suffice. • The need for Class II lanes along this project length should be evaluated as developments are proposed along the corridor. • Note the following project relationships: “Prado East extension to Broad”, “Prado to Calle Joaquin” of the Bob Jones Trail project, “Laguna Lake Park to Oceanaire Path”. • The “Estimate Cost” shown here reflects the bicycle related costs if a bicycle/pedestrian bridge were to be constructed in lieu of a motor vehicle crossing. If a motor vehicle crossing is constructed, the actual bicycle-related costs would be lessened by being partially absorbed into the cost of a motor vehicle bridge.

Prado West Connection Project Length (feet): 15,040 Class I 15,040 Class II 340 Bridge Estimated Cost: $9,881,000 Class I Class II Project Description: Redefine and reinforce channelization on SB LOVR at Calle Joaquin. Notes: Three major factors should be considered when designing this bicycle channelization: 1) traffic volume and speed; 2) slight bend in LOVR and roadside shrubs impair both motorists ability to see bikes traveling ahead of them when approaching this intersection traveling south, and bicyclists ability to see the motorists approaching from behind; and 3) traffic entering from eastern side of Calle Joaquin with the intent to get into the RHT lane of LOVR to enter Hwy. 101 - i.e., crossing all lanes of traffic. Project will be completed as part of LOVR interchange project which is proposed to be funded by grants, traffic impact fees, and City funds. M a d o n n a R o a d C a ll e J o a q u i n L o s O s o s V a ll e y R o a d U.S. 101 Intent: To make it easier for cyclists to navigate the intersection and proceed over the freeway. The execution of this project needs to allow motorists a long visual chance to see bicyclists moving into the straight through bike channel as the right-hand-lane changes into a right-turn only lane.

This tool is to be used for both planning considerations and a point in time snapshot of a facility. When planning/installing a new facility, be aware that implementation timing is a factor in both neighborhood impact perception, and user perception of the facility. Because of this, it is critical that implementation be done in a timely and cohesive manner. It is important in that it may skew public perception for development of further Bicycle Boulevard facilities, but it will not have a lasting impact on the ranking of an individual facility. Notes: • 85% speed shall be calculated using same criteria (day, time, length and formula) • Motorist Volume should be judged with relative area trends considered. • A “challenge intersection” is one that an inexperienced cyclist would avoid. • Neighborhood impact includes: parking, lighting, streetscape, secondary impact.

Luis Obispo, CA 93401 RE: Comments on the Draft Bicycle and Trails Master Plan Dear Ms. Mandeville, Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on City of San Luis Obispo’s 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan. As the state-designated Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) for San Luis Obispo County, SLOCOG is charged with the responsibility of approving Bicycle Transportation Plans within the region for compliance with California Streets and Highway Code Section 891.2 and with the current 2010 Regional Transportation Plan-Preliminary Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP-PSCS). SLOCOG acknowledges The City’s Plan meets the eligibility requirements set forth by the State of California. SLOCOG acknowledges the City’s history and ability in producing exceptional bicycle plans for future bikeways and bicycle-related projects. The 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan prepared by the City comprehensive, well written and was developed with a great deal of input from local citizens. The plan’s updated policies strengthen existing policies that promote bicycle infrastructure, safety, and education and provides the framework necessary to continually build upon the foundation currently in place. A major goal of SLOCOG is to help assure the development of an efficient, coordinated, integrated, and balanced transportation system to meet the mobility needs of the San Luis Obispo region utilizing all modes of transportation. The City’s commitment to ensure continued progress in meeting this goal is reflected in its 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan. SLOCOG is proud to continue to partner with the City of San Luis Obispo in planning and implementing future bicycle-related improvements. Sincerely, Richard Murphy Director Programming & Project Delivery San Luis Obispo Council of Governments Appendix M: Plan Adoption Documents San Luis Obispo City of Appendix M: Plan Adoption Documents
