8AC KGR�l�ND:
The �ity �ouncil ad�pted Resolut��n No. 3975 on Novernber 28, 2���, approving
�eneral Plan Arnendment D6-DD2 and ad�pting the Bike and SidewalklPedestrian
Enhancement Plan. This was the first bicycle plan ado�ted by the �ity; h�wever, it
does n�t meet eligi�ility criteria set f�rth by �altrans f�r Bicycle Transp�rtati�n Acc�unt
�BTA} funding. ^fherefore, the �ity �s n�t elig�b�e to receive State funds f�r pr�jects that
im�rove safety and c�nvenience f�r bicycle c�mmuters.
^fhe ��ty received a grant thro�agh the San Luis �bis�� �ouncil �f ��vernments
�SL����} in the amount of $15,DD�D for �reparatior� of a new bicycle and trails master
plan. Qn Novem�er 29, �D11, the City awarded the contract to pre�are th� new plan t�
�mni-Means. A kick-vff rneeting was held with vari�us stakeholders and interested
pers�ns �n Decernber 15, 2�D11 and a �ublic warkshap was held on February 9, 2�12.
ANALY�I� �F I��I�E�;
BTA Eli_Qibii�ty
The Draft Plan has been written t� meet Bicycle Transp�rtati�n Account �BTA}
requ�rements a-k. These requirements are addressed in �arious sections �f th� Draft
Plan �refer to page 8}. �nce a plan that meets BTA requirements is adopted, it must be
re�isited e�ery fi�e years in �rder to determine if the direction identified by the plan is
still justified or needs t� be revi�ed t� m��t new criteria or directi�n to maintain BTA
funding erigibility.
��als and �b'ectives
The Draft Plan sets forth the fot��wing goals and �bjectives to guide development �f
b�cycle and pedestrian facilit�es �mprovements:
• pro�r`de safe and conveni�nt bicycle and ped�strian access;
• Bec�me a "bicycle friendly" city;
• Max�mize bicycle and pedestrian impr�vement funding opp�rtunities;
• Demonstrate ��mmitment t� bicyc�e and pede�trian irr�provements
Agenda Item 9.a.

PA�E 3
These goals and o��ecti�es form the foundatian for the proposed �icy�le and trail
network �refer to pag� 31}. This network identi�es bicycle and pedestrian routes
through the City, ident�fies nodes that connect to regional routes and classi�es each
route. Citywide improvements to further these goals inclu�e the use of bicycle detecting
traffic signals, "bike boxes" �phys�cal separatron �f �]IC]ICI15t5 from motor vehicles at
signalized intersections}, adequate bicycle parking and a wayfinding program.
The network identifies several iiProposed C1ass li" routes, some of which w�ll requ�re
narrowing travel �anes, narrowing parking lanes, removing on-street parkirrg, acquiring
additional right of way or some combination thereof in order to meet minimum Class II
bike lane wrdth requirements. "fhese �rrclude some existing bike lanes, such as those
on Fair �aks Avenue between South Halcyon Road and South Elm Street, which are
less than the minimum required width for Class !I bike lanes.
Priori Proiects
The Draft Plan identi�es ten �1�} specific projects for future improvements to the City's
bicycle and trail network. These priorities are intended to guide funding and planning
mechan isms to ensu re that the priorities that a r� ra nked h ig her a re gi�ren precealence.
Each project includes a brief discuss�on of exist�ng cond�tions, praposed improvements
and cost estimates. Projects are conceptual in nature and may require more detailed
d�sign to determine overall feasibility; however, it is important to identify various
opportunities to meet the plan's goals and objectives.
Fundin � ortunities
The Draft Plan includes a comprehensiv� d�scussivn vf pot�ntial funding opportunities
for future projects, includEng both Federal and State sources in addition to IocaE funding
sources such as impact fees and sales tax revenues �refer to Section 5}.
Safet� and Education
In order to qualify as a "b�cycl� friendly" community �a goal of the Draft Plan}, the City
must establish an educational program targeted at both bicyclists and motorists. The
Draft Plan in�ludes the required objectives of the educat�onal program and Rdenti�es
existing programs and agen�ies that may be utilized in the creation of a Iocal
educational program.

Below are br�ef discussions of priority projects that would require more than minor
impro�ements �signage, striping, etc} in order to implement:
Prrorrty Project#�
This project would provide a safer cvnnection for bicyclists, including students,
between the Village and Paulding Middle School. It would require the acquisit�on
of additional right vf way on the north side of East Branch Street, which would
impact the existing stone retaining wall, sections of which are currently in a state
of d isrepair.
Priority Project# 5
This project could ultimately provide an extension of the existing Class II bike
lan�s on Fair Daks A�enue from Valley Road to Drchard A�enue along Arroyo
�rande High Schaol frontage. -fhe provision of Class II bik� lanes would likely
requir� the acquisition of right of way from the high school andlor adjacent
a�ricultural property. "fhis would requir� a d�tailed study to d�termine feas�bility.
Priority Project#8
Th�s proj�ct would creat� a roundabQUt at the thr��-wa� inters��tion of East
Branch �tre�t, Huasna Road and Corbett Canyon �State Rout� �27}. It would
requir� a detail�d study and clos� coordination with �altrans ta determin� its
feasibility.
Priority Project# �
^fhis project could provide a Class I multi-use path for both bicyclists and
pedestrians that spans ov�r US Highway 'lD'l. It would r�quire a detailed study
and clos� coordination with Caltrans to det�rmine �ts feas�bilit�.
Advisory Review
The I�raft Plan has b�en re�i�wed by the City's Parks and Recreation Comm�ss�on

�Attachment 5}. Each �ommission recommended approval of th� Draft Plan, with the
following commentslrecommendations:
• Parks and Recreation �ommission
o Merge Priorrty#4 and Priority #5 �Fair �aks} and make it a higher priority;
o Investigate the feasibility of a "road diet" �reduction in travel lane width
andl�r number of lanes} on Fairs �aks in-�ieu of acquiring additional right
of way.
• Planning �ommission
o Agreed with the priorities identified in the Draft Plan;
o Maps should be larger and fold-out of the document.
• Traffic Commission
o Not in favor of road diet on Fair �aks;
o Express�d resenrations regarding prapased raundabout and ov�rcrossin�
ofUS1�1.

3.1 Goals and Objectives
The following Goals and Objectives are intended to provide the City with specific direction
for improving the Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities within the City. It should be noted that
these Goals and Objectives specifically support and are consistent with the General Plan
Goals related to non-motorized mobility (reference Section 1.6).
For the purposes of this document the Goals are statements that describe a desired
condition or outcome. Objectives(bulleted items) state the rationale/approach for
achieving a goal. It is the responsibility of City officials and Department directors to review
the Bicycle& Trails Master Plan -2012 document periodically, and direct the staff as to
priority of implementation (based on feasibility to implement and available funding). It should
also be noted that the goals and objectives identified in this document are not finite, nor
organized in any particular order of priority.
Goal 1:Safe, Convenient Bicvcle and Pedestrian Access
• Provide safe and convenient bicycle access to all parts of the community through a
signed network of on and off-street facilities, low-speed streets, and secure bicycle
parking. Local cyclists should be involved in identifying maintenance needs and
ongoing improvements.
• Promote land use development that enhances pedestrian and bicycle connectivity
for com m uting and recreation use.
• Coordinate bike lane and bike route improvements with road pavement overlay or
widening projects whenever feasible.
• Provide additional shoulder pavement on all proposed Class III Bike Routes
roadways where physically feasible and cost efficient, when implementing roadway
improvements.
• Provide sidewalks along all roadways where right-of-way and physical conditions
allow.
Agenda Item 9.a.
City of Arroyo Grande Bicycle& Trails Masfer Plan-2012 Page 39 27
� �
. �c ce ra� s e wor an
� Develop and implement a regular maintenance program to keep existing bicycle
facilities and sidewalks clean and in good repair.
• Improve bicycle and pedestrian access across major roads through the use of
pedestrian signalization and bicycle signal detectors (AB 1581) where none
currently exists.
• Evaluate signal timing at wide intersections to make sure there is sufficient time for
pedestrians and bicycles to clear the intersection.
• Coordinate with Caltrans to install pedestrian crossing signals and bike/motor cycle
detector loops at signalized intersections.
• Provide pedestrian/bicycle bridges across US Highway 101 and Arroyo Grande
Creek.
• Install signs where Class II Bike Lanes transition to Class III Bike Routes to inform
motorists that bicycles will be sharing the road.
• Pedestrian and Bicycle circulation should be included as part of the development
review process to assure that bikeways are included as a major component of the
circulation system.
• Continue work with Lucia Mar Unified School District (LMUSD) to develop "Safe
Routes to Schools" programs.
Goal 2:A "Bicvcle Friendlv Communitv"
(The Bicycle Friendly Community Program(BFC)is a national program that provides incentives,
hands-on assistance, and award recognition for communities that actively support bicycling. Specific
requirements must be met to be identified as a "Bicycle Friendly Community".)
• Establish a Citywide, multi-disciplinary Pedestrian-Bicycle Advisory committee
whose sole purpose is to make recommendations regarding related improvements,
and provide a regular evaluation /action plan for completing the items toward the
goal of "Bicycle Friendly Community". This committee may be a component of the
Traffic/Transportation Commission.
• Establish information programs to promote bicycling for all purposes, and to
communicate the many benefits of bicycling to residents and businesses (with
bicycle maps, public relations campaigns, neighborhood rides, etc.)
• Make the City a model employer by encouraging bicycle use among its employees
(IE by providing bicycle parking, showers and lockers).
• Provide bicycle parking facilities at park and ride lots to encourage the use of mass
transit and car pooling.
• Require bicycle parking facilities at all new major activity centers including, but not
limited to, employer sites, shopping/office areas, Arroyo Grande Community
Hospital, multi-family residential, schools, parks, and recreational facilities.
• Ensure all City policies, plans, codes, and programs are updated and implemented
to take advantage of every opportunity to create a more bicycle-friendly community.
Staff in all departments should be offered training to better enable them to complete
this task.
• Develop/coordinate educational programs with local law enforcement and the
Agenda Item 9.a.

school district that promote safe riding techniques.
• Enforce traffic laws to improve the safety and comfort of all road users, with a
particular focus on behaviors and attitudes that cause motor vehicle/bicycle
crashes.
• Promote the beneficial aspects of bicycling through Bike Month, Spare the Air, and
other programs.
• Promote intermodal travel between public transport and bicycles.
• Establish exclusive (no motor-vehicle access) paths for bicycles and pedestrians
along creek corridors.
Goal 3:Maximize Bicvcle and Pedestrian Improvement Fundinp Opportunities
• Emphasize the regional commuting and safety aspects of the improvements to
increase funding chances.
• Where feasible, collaborate on grant proposals with Caltrans, San Luis Obispo
County, the City of Pismo Beach and the City of Grover Beach in order to promote
the benefits of connectivity. IE. Pismo Beach supports upgrades on the adjoining
North Oak Park Boulevard to support the creation of a Class 2 Bike Lane in both
Pismo Beach and Arroyo Grande. Consider support of adjoining agency bike lane
efforts where cost effective and feasible for the City.
• Include bicycle facility improvements into all related roadway improvement projects
associated with non-bicycle funding related grant proposals.
• Assure that new development projects pay their fair share of bicycle facility
improvements associated with their development.
• Where appropriate, partner bicycle paths with flood control projects, utilities access,
air quality improvements and open space/stream restoration projects.
• Utilize the priority list of improvements identified in this document in order to act
quickly to apply for funding grants through Federal, State, and regional/ local
sources.
Goal 4:Demonstrate Citv Commitment to Bicvcle and Pedestrian Improvements
• Prepare a"Recommended Bicycle/Trails Route" map that can be distributed on the
City's website, to local and regional bicycle shops, schools and major employers.
• Coordinate with local private health organizations to promote walking and bicycling
in City of Arroyo Grande.
• Provide education programs targeted to adults and children that explain safe bicycle
riding techniques and other safety related issues.
• Join national bicycle related promotional organizations (IE League of American
Bicyclists, USA Cycling, etc.)
• Co-sponsor private bicycle related events (May is National Bike Month, etc.)
• Provide a City staff representative to meet regularly with regional bicycle groups/
clubs to stay up to date on end user concerns.
• Prepare and distribute a yearly survey to solicit input regarding pedestrian routes,
bicycle use, recommended improvements, etc.
• Pedestrian-Bicycle Advisory Committee to document progress results in a bi-annual
report made to the City Council.

Existing Condition Overview/ Need
East Branch Street is a main thoroughfare through the Village Area and it is on the main
east - west connector (SR 227). The roadway is narrow through the Village Area with a
section that consists of two traffic lanes, a central turn / loading lane and parking on both
sides. Delivery trucks often "double park" in the street to unload goods. This route is heavily
traveled by motor vehicles, bicyclists (including club rides) and pedestrians. There are
currently no markings or signage identifying this as a bike route.
Proposed Bikeway Type: Class lll Bicycle Boulevard
Given the restricted pavement opportunity, this route can not be formalized as a Class II
Bike Lane. In an effort to provide better awareness to motorists that bicycles may be
present, special markings and signage are proposed to remind motorists to share the road.
Improvements
• Bicycle Boulevard signs
• Share the Road signs
• Sharrow markings on roadway

$3,000

Existing Condition Overview/ Need
East Branch Street is a main thoroughfare through the Village Area and it is on the main
east - west connector (SR 227). This road connects to Pauling Middle School. In this area
the roadway is narrow. To widen this route sufficient right of way appears to exist, but some
retaining walls will be necessary. This route is heavily traveled by motor vehicles, bicyclists
(including club rides) and pedestrians (including students). There are currently no markings
or signage identifying this as a bikeway.
Proposed Bikeway Type: Class ll Bike Lane
Widening the road appears feasible on the north side of the street only. Widening and
restriping would allow for bike lanes in both directions.
Improvements
• Road Widening/ Paving
• Small Retaining Wall
• Bike Lane Signs
• Bike Lane Striping and Marking
• Archeological Study for Existing Wall . ` ��� � _. T

Existing Condition Overview/ Need
In this area, Fair Oaks Avenue is a minor arterial street. This road segment connects areas
east of US 101 to Arroyo Grande High School, Arroyo Grande Community Hospital and the
Soto Sports Complex. This route is heavily traveled by motor vehicles, bicyclists (assumed
students) and pedestrians. The street consists of two lanes in both directions with no
parking allowed. There is no turn lane. Pavement limitations neqate the opportunity to stripe
a Class I I Bike Lane. Travel lanes appear to be 11-ft. wide including gutter pan.
Proposed Bikeway Type: Class lll Bike Route
In an effort to provide better awareness to motorists that bicycles may be present, "Share

Existing Condition Overview/ Need
In this area, Fair Oaks Avenue is bordered by the high school on the south and agriculture
fields on the north. This street is a minor arterial street. This road segment connects areas
east and west of US 101 to Arroyo Grande High School. This route is heavily traveled by
both vehicles, bicyclists (assumed students) and pedestrians. The street consists of two
lanes in both direction with no parking allowed. There is no turn lane. Pavement limitations
ne ate the opportunity to stripe a Class II Bike Lane. However, there may be the opportunity
to widen the street on the northerly side, providing adequate pavement to accommodate
bike lanes.
Proposed Bikeway Type: Class lll Bike Route- Class ll Bike Lane(ultimate)
The existing pavement may allow the re-striping of the right lane to 11-ft. This would allow 3-
4 ft. of bike area. However, in order to accommodate Class II Bike Lanes additional right-of-
way will need to acquired. It is suggested that the City study the feasibility/cost of acquiring
right-of-way from the north side of the road in an effort to widen the road enough to
accommodate bike lanes. In the mean time "Share the Road" signage is proposed to remind
motorists to share the road with bicyclists.

Existing Condition Overview/ Need
The existing street is a split ROW between Grover Beach, Pismo Beach and SLO County.
Each surrounding jurisdiction identifies this part of the route as a proposed Class II Bike
Lane. However, existing ROW and pavement opportunities restrict striping bike lanes.
Proposed Bikeway Type: Class ll Bike Lanes
In order to accommodate approximately 3,700 LF of Class II Bike Lanes, auto travel lanes
will require narrowing /elimination via a road diet approach or road widening (ROW
purchase). As of this writing a 2012 Update of the Arroyo Grande Circulation Element was
underway that would be looking at this stretch of road to determine the opportunities to meet
bike, pedestrian, and automobile needs. Coordination between jurisdictions is required to
provide bike lanes in both directions.

Existing Condition Overview/ Need
This local residential street provides a connection to Route 227 and the Village area from
James Way(bike lane connection). The street section consists of one travel lane in each
direction with parking defined along parts of the street. There are many driveway
connections that provide access to residential lots. Although relatively flat, the street west of
James Way does wind around a sharp curve.
Proposed Bikeway Type: Class lll Bike Route and Bicycle Boulevard
Given the restricted pavement opportunity, this route cannot be formalized as a Class II Bike
Lane unless on-street parking Is eliminated on the northwest side. Therefore, this route is
proposed as a Class III Bike Route. The typical Bike Route signage is proposed east of
James Way. However, upon crossing the James Way intersection, special markings and
signage are proposed to remind motorists to share the road.
Improvements
• Bike Route signs
• Share the Road signs
• Sharrow markings west of James Way

Existing Condition Overview/ Need
This intersection involves five streets each coming together at different angles. The various
street angles provide challenging crossing scenarios for pedestrian and bicyclists. Route
227 connects through this area and it is heavily traveled by motor vehicles, bicyclists
(including club rides) and pedestrians, including Paulding Middle School students. Two
schools are located adjacent to the intersection. There are currently no markings or signage
identifying this as a bike route, but lanes exist on Huasna Road.
Proposed Bikeway Type: Class ll Bike Lane
In order to safely accommodate bike lanes through this intersection, the intersection would
need to be designed to solve road width and traffic flow problems. A roundabout design (if
feasible) would solve auto traffic flow issues, reduce air pollution, improve pedestrian and
bicycle safety, and provide a gateway entry point on the east side of the city.
Improvements
• Prepare a study to determine feasibility and cost to build a roundabout at this location
Cost Estimate
$60,000 (Feasibility Study Only) $1.5 - $2.0 million (Improvement Cost)

Existing Condition Overview/ Need
The freeway currently bisects the city and provides only four crossing points. Each crossing
point is not pedestrian or bicycle friendly. Having a safe non-motorized crossing could
encourage more bicycle and walking between residential areas and commercial areas
located on opposite sides of the freeway.
Proposed Bikeway Type: Class 1 Multi-use Path/Bridge Overcrossing
There are many challenges to designing a bicycle/ pedestrian bridge across a major
freeway. Therefore, the City is encouraged to seek funding for a feasibility study to
determine the best location, type of bridge, opportunities/constraints, process expectations,
and cost.
Study
• Prepare a study to determine crossing feasibility and cost
Cost Estimate
$150,000 (Feasibility Study Cost Only)

Existing Condition Overview/ Need
Curving streets, topographical changes, limited creek and freeway crossings create
challenges to finding one's way around Arroyo Grande. Although the bike network provides
connectivity between various points it is not clear what routes to follow where.
Proposed Bikeway Type: Directional Sign System
A themed wayfinding sign system can provide visitors and residents with a unifying element
that serves both the motorist and bicycle rider. Although, the California MUTCD provides
minimum standards for bike signage, a specifically designed wayfinding system would
expand upon recent efforts made in the Village Area. By expanding these efforts throughout
the community, the wayfinding system can help unify a currently segmented (by the
freeway) city while providing much needed directional assistance to bicycle riders and
motorists

A shared use path (Class I Bikeway) allows for two-way, off-street bicycle use, and may also
be used by pedestrians, skaters, wheelchair users,joggers and other non-motorized users.
State of California Class I facility design standards require that the surface be paved, and
can also include amenities such as lighting, signage, and fencing (where appropriate).
Minimum Standards
The recommended minimum width of a shared use path is dependent upon anticipated
usage:
• 8-feet is the minimum paved width for Class I facilities, typically used for short
neighborhood connector paths (generally less than one mile in length)
• 10-feet paved width is the recommended minimum for a typical two-way bicycle path.
Ten-foot wide paved paths are recommended for accommodating all uses, and allow for
long-term maintenance and emergency vehicle access. In order to better accommodate
maintenance vehicles adequate edge support should be provided. Edge support can be
either in the form of stabilized shoulders, a concrete "ribbon curb" along one or more
edges of the path, or constructing additional pavement width or thickness.
• 12-feet is the preferred minimum width if more than 300 users per peak hour are
anticipated, and/or if there is heavy mixed bicycle-pedestrian use.
• In all cases a minimum 2-feet wide graded area must be provided adjacent to the path
to provide clearance from trees, poles, walls, guardrails, etc.
• On facilities with expected heavy use, a yellow centerline stripe is recommended to
separate travel in opposite directions on paths 10-feet or wider.
• If trees are adjacent to the path, a root barrier should be installed along the path to
avoid root uplift.

Un-paved Trail Construction
Unpaved multi-use trails are common throughout the state and are cheaper to construct
than paved trails. In many communities unpaved trails serve equestrians in addition to
bicyclists and pedestrians. Unpaved trails are more difficult to traverse when wet, (especially
with road bikes) and can be dusty when dry. Maintained unpaved trails are ideal for
mountain bikes, comfort bikes, BMX-bicycles, or cyclocross bikes, most children's bikes.
The surface conditions typically require slower riding.
It is recommended that a 10-12-foot wide decomposed granite surface be maintained
wherever possible and that vegetation within 2 feet of each side of the trail be mowed or
trimmed as needed. A common unpaved trail would be constructed with at least 4-inches of
compacted decomposed granite and would be crowned to allow for proper drainage.
Paved Shared Use Trail Construction
As trail use increases, and funding is available, unpaved trails within the City should be
considered for inclusion into the 5-year CIP to be paved to meet Class 1 Standards. Note:
unpaved trails do not meet the CA MUTCD Class I Bike Path Standard. The following
exhibit illustrates a minimum standards for a combined paved and unpaved shared use path
concept that would meet Ca MUTCD standards.

Trail Enhancements
Trail enhancements are not critical to the movement of people, but do enhance the
experience. Trail enhancements may include kiosks, public art, trees, plantings, benches,
gateways, drinking fountains, public toilets, decorative fencing, memorials, pavers, trash
receptacles, and air pumps. Trail enhancements may be funded as part of a trail project but
may also be funded with private dollars. Bicycle racks and identification/wayfinding signage
are especially important enhancements that should be considered with all bicycle projects.
Trailheads
Trailheads are public places to enter and exit a trail facility. Trailheads often include
informational kiosks with trail maps, identification and wayfinding signage, trash receptacles,
and bicycle parking. Some trailheads should offer parking for visitors and include treatments
to keep motor vehicles from entering the trail. If trails are not policed on a regular basis
physical devices like bollards or curbs should be considered at trailheads to control
motorized vehicle access. All trail entries should include "No Motor Vehicle"signage and
violators should be issued tickets by law enforcement officers. Trailheads should be spaced
to reflect the density of land use and should contain consistent design elements throughout
the system.

At—Grade Intersection
When shared-use paths cross streets or railroad tracks, proper design should be developed
on the pathway as well as on the roadway to alert bicyclists and motorists of the crossing.
Sometimes on larger streets, at mid-block pathway crossing locations, an actuated signal is
necessary. A signal allows bicyclists a clear crossing of a multi-lane roadway. If a signal is
or is not needed, appropriate signage and pavement markings should be installed, including
stop signs and bike crossing pavement markings. The following diagram from the California
MUTCD depicts examples of signing and markings associated with shared path crossings.

Standard Variations
Often referred to as a"bike lane," a Class II bikeway provides a striped and stenciled lane
for one-way travel on either side of a street or highway. To provide bike lanes along
corridors where insufficient space is currently available, extra room can be provided by
removing a traffic lane, narrowing traffic lanes, or prohibiting parking. The width of the bike
lanes vary according to parking and street conditions. The following eneral guidelines/
standards are extracted from the California MUTCD, and where indicated, define the figure
illustration number.
Road Lane Markings: Longitudinal pavement markings should be used to define bicycle
lanes. Pavement markings designate that portion of the roadway for preferential use by
bicyclists. Markings inform all road users of the restricted nature of the bicycle lane.
Examples of bicycle lane markings at right-turn lanes are viewed in the CA MUTCD Figures
9C-1, 9C-3, and 9C-4. Examples of pavement markings for bicycle lanes on a two-way
street are shown in Figure 9C-5. Pavement symbols and markings for bicycle lanes are
shown in Figure 9C-6.
Standard:
If used, the bicycle lane symbol marking (see Figure 9C-6) shall be placed immediately after
an intersection and at other locations as needed. The bicycle lane symbol marking shall be
white. If the bicycle lane symbol marking is used in conjunction with other word or symbol
messages, it shall precede them. If the word or symbol pavement markings shown in Figure
9C-6 are used, Bicycle Lane signs (see Section 9B.04) shall also be used, but the signs
need not be adjacent to every symbol to avoid overuse of the signs.
On the following pages, illustrations depict typical bike lane configurations and dimensional
sta n d a rd s. Figure 9C-6(CA).Example of Optional Word and Symbo!Pavemenf Markings

Class II Bikeway Intersection Design-Signalized Intersections
Intersections represent a primary collision point for bicyclists. Small intersections with few
lanes are relatively easy to manage. However, large, multi-lane intersections are more
difficult for bicyclists to travel through than smaller, two-lane intersections. Challenges and
potential solutions for bicyclists' at large signalized intersections include:
• Signals may not be timed to allow slower-moving bicyclists to travel across the
intersection. Solution: Bicycle adaptive signal timing.
• Loop detectors or video detection that is used to actuate the signal may not be
calibrated to detect bicyclists. Solution: Design standard of bike loop use.
• Bicyclists may not know how to actuate the signal using loop detectors, even if it is
calibrated. Solution: Use of bike loop detector symbol.
• Bicyclists who are traveling straight may have to merge across motor vehicle traffic that
is turning right from a right-turn lane. Solution: Bike lane pockets at intersections,
between through and right turn lanes.
Design treatments can help bicyclists travel through intersections and alert motorists of
bicyclists' presence. Good intersection design alerts motorist to bicyclists, indicates to
motorists and bicyclists where bicyclists may ride, and guides bicyclists through
intersections. This treatment provides a design for where a roadway with Class II bike lanes
intersects with a road at a signalized intersection.
Bicycle Actuated Signals & Adaptive Signal Timing (see also Appendix C)
Making intersections more "friendly"to bicyclists, involves modifying how they operate.
Improved signal timing, calibrating loop detectors to detect bicyclists, and camera detection
makes intersections easier for bicyclists to cross intersections. Loop detectors are installed
within the roadway to allow the metal of a motor vehicle to trigger a change in the traffic
signal. Many standard motor vehicle loop detectors can be calibrated to detect bicycles.
This allows the bicyclist to stay within the lane of travel and avoid maneuvering to the side of
the road to trigger a push button. Signals can be configured so that if a bicycle is detected,
an extended green time can be provided.
Right-Turn Only Lanes
Right-turn only lanes can present challenges for bicyclists traveling through an intersection.
Bicyclists must merge to the left to position themselves in the through travel lane.
Jurisdictions will sometimes stripe bike lanes on the right-side of right-turn only lanes, which
places the through-cyclist in direct conflict with a right-turning vehicle. The appropriate
treatment for right-turn only lanes is to either drop the bike lane entirely approaching the
right-turn lane, or to place a bike lane pocket between the right-turn lane and the right-most
through lane.

Class III Bikeway Design
Generally referred to as a"bike route," a Class III bikeway provides routes through areas not
served by Class I, where frequency of riders do not justify bike lanes, or where right-of-way
is not available to include Class II facilities. Class III facilities are shared with motorists on
roadways and are identified in most cases only by signing. There are no recommended
minimum widths for Class III facilities, but when encouraging bicyclists to travel along
selected routes, traffic speed and volume, parking, traffic control devices, and surface
quality should be acceptable for bicycle travel.
Although it is not a requirement, a wide outside traffic lane (14 feet) is typically preferable to
enable cars to safely pass bicyclists without crossing the centerline. Caltrans Highway
Design Manual Chapter 1000 provides details regarding the design requirements for
placement and spacing of bike route signage.
Share the Road signs are recommended along Class III Bike Ways with narrow paving /
lack of shoulder to remind motorists and bicyclists to be aware of one another.
See CAMUTCD for marking and signing standards.

Shared Roadway Bicycle Marking
Recently, Shared Lane Marking (SLM) stencils have been introduced for use in California as
an additional treatment for Class III facilities, and are currently approved in conjunction with
on-street parking. The stencil can serve a number of purposes, such as making motorists
aware of bicycles potentially in their lane, showing bicyclists the direction of travel, and, with
proper placement, reminding bicyclists to bike further from parked cars to prevent"dooring"
collisions.
The 2010 CA MUTCD specifies that shared lane markings only be used on roadways with
parallel parking, but the forthcoming 2011 edition is expected to allow greater discretion in
placing "Sharrow" markings on roadways with or without parking.
SLM's are recommended to be placed 11.5-feet from a curb where parking is present.
Where there are two or more lanes per direction, if the outside lane is less than 14-feet, or
where there is high parking turnover, a SLM may be placed in the middle of the outside
travel lane.

Short Term Bicycle Parking
Bicycle racks provide support for the bicycle but do not have locking mechanisms. Racks
are relatively low-cost devices that typically hold between two and eight bicycles, allow
bicyclists to securely lock their frames and wheels, are secured to the ground, and should
be located in highly visible areas, preferably at the front of a building.
• Bicycle racks should be a design that is intuitive and easy to use.

• Position racks so there is enough room between parked bicycles. Racks should be (Example only)
situated on 36" minimum centers.
• A five-foot aisle for bicycle maneuvering should be provided and maintained beside or
between each row of bicycle racks.
• Empty racks should not pose a tripping hazard for visually impaired pedestrians.
Position racks out of the walkway's clear zone.
• For sidewalks with heavy pedestrian traffic, at least seven feet of unobstructed right-of-
way is req u i red.
• Racks should be located close to a main building entrance, in a lighted, high-visibility
area protected from the elements.
Long Term Bicycle Parking
Long-term bicycle parking facilities accommodate employees, students, residents,
commuters, and others that typically expect to park for more than two hours. These �-- - -
parking facilities should be provided in a secure, weather protected manner and location. , �

The �ni#ia� Study/Mitigated Negati�e Declaration �!5/MNDy has been prepared �y �he City of Arroy�

document has�een prepared in accordance with the California En��ronmental�uality Act�CEQA�, Public
Resources Code §210� e�seq., and the State �EQA Guidelines, Caiifornia Code of R�gulat�ons �CCR�
§15�DD e�s�q.
An tnitiai Study is conducted by a lead ag�ncy to determine if a project may ha��a s�gnificant effect on
the�n�ironment[CE�A Gutde�ines §15�63�a�]. If there�s su�stant;ai e�rdence that a proJect rnay ha�e a
s�gnifitant effett on the environment, an Enyironmental �mpatt Report �E�R] must be prepared, in
acc�rdance with CEQA Gu�delin�s §15D54�a�. Howe�er, if the lead agency determines that re�isions �n
the project p�ans�r proposals mad�k�y or agreed to by the applrcant mitigate the potent�ally s�gnifiCant
effects to a less-than-signifcant lew�l, a Mitigated Nega#i�e Declaration may be prepared instead of an
EIR [CEQA Guidelines§1,5�?���}]. The lead agen�y pr�epares a written statement descri��ng t�e reasons
a proposed pr�ject w�uld not ha�� a s��nificant eff�ct on the en��ronment and, therefore, why an E1R
need n�t be prepar�d. This ISJMND conforms t� the content requirements under CE�A Gu�delines
§15D?1.
Lead Agency
The lead agen�y is th� public agency with primary appr�vai authority o�er the proposed proje�t. In

gen�ral g�uernmental pawers, suth as a �ity or�ounty, rather than an agency with a single or I�r�ited
purpos�." The tead agency for the proposed project u the City of Arroyo Grande.The contact person for �

Director Perrin reviewed background information regarding the Bicycle and Trails
Master Plan and introduced Ryan Foster, Associate Planner, Community Development
Department. Mr. Foster addressed the Commission and review�d the staff report,
including a PowerPoint presentation.
Jim DeCecco, of Pismo Bea�h, addressed the Commission. He shared a photo with
the Commission showing children riding their b��ycles along Fa�r �aks Avenue en
route from �ceano to Doc Burnsteins in the Village. Mr. DeCecco stated that he feels
priorities 4 and 5 in the Plan should be combined and given a high level of priority. Mr.
DeCecco sugg�sted a road diet on Fair �aks Avenue and explained that would mean
one lane of traffic in each directiQn with a center turning lane allowing for bike lanes on
each side of the road. Mr. DeCecco also mentioned that being a bicycle friendly city
can lead to bicycle event organizers planning events in your area, bringing in tourist
dollars.

Dear Traffic Commissioners,
Qn behal�o�the San Luis �k�ispo County Bicycle Coalition's fi�D members coun#ywide I would Iike to ask
��r your support f�r the Bicycle and Trails Master Plan�or the �ity o�Arroyo Grande.The bike plan is a
formal document tF�at w�rks in coopera�ion with y�ur General Plan's�ir�ulati�n, �and use, and safety
e�ements. It pro�ides the guidance necessary t� c�ntrnue de�el�pment in a manner that directly impro�es
the ec�nomic, physical, and en�ironmental health ❑�y�ur c�mmunity. Most imp�rtantly, a comprehensi�e
and appro�ed bike plan will drastically impr��e y�ur access t� ma��r state and federal in�rastructure and
pr�gramming grants.
The San Luis �bispo C�unty Bicycle Coaliti�n is comm�tted t� ass+sting e�ery city through�ut the C�unty

bik� plans in San Luis�bispo City, Pasa Robles,Atascadero, Morro Bay, Gro�er Beach, Pismo Beach
and San Luis C3b�spo C�unty. Up�n r��i�w �f y�ur General Plan, we belie�e that Arroya Grande exhibits
th��alu�s n�c�ssary t� mak� th� Crty a strong candidate f�r funding �pp�rtuniti�s. �ur past experienc�
expl�ring such opp�rtunities has assist�d in accessing milli�ns of dollars in �unding for bike and

Subj�ct: Arroyo G�ande Bike Plan Review
Dear Mr. �oster and memb�rs of the Council,
I ha�e re�iewed the Arroyo �irar�de Bike Plan Draft and would like to make one comment regarding the plan in
the Meadow Creek area. I belie�e that the proposed multi-use trail should e�t�nd further East along Meadow
creek in order to connect w�th the Equestrian�ay trail ar�d to also e�tend through future de�elopment on the
large parcels East �f Equestriar��ay. Please c�nsider e�tending this trail in�rder t�pr��ide for c�nnecti�it}�
with e�isting trails and future de�el�pment.
I would al�� like t� ��ice my supp�rt f�r the appr�ach the Cit}� has taken in pro�iding dec�mposed granite
rnult-use trails. These are a l�wer c�st alternati�e that can be enj�yed by all trail users including equestrians
wh� use the trai 1 s in the Eastern area o f the �ity.
Best regards�
Bruce Hilt�n
