Prioritization and Implementation of Proposed Recommendations for the Pleasanton Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update July 21, 2026 P a g e | 3 o Comfort o Equity These criteria support the City's goals of accessibility, comfort, and sustainability, while aligning with competitive grant program priorities. • Lowest Weight (6 points maximum): o Cost Cost was weighted lowest to avoid disproportionately penalizing projects with higher capital costs but substantial community benefits. The specific evaluation metrics, scoring thresholds, and point allocations for each criterion are summarized in Table 1. Table 1: Prioritization Criteria Community Input Community input was incorporated into the final project rankings through a separate weighting process rather than as an individual scoring criterion. During community outreach , which included two pop-up events, a community meeting, and an online survey , participants were asked to identify and vote for bicycle and pedestrian improvements they viewed as the highest priorities.
