2026 PLEASANTON BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN | 95 IMPLEMENTATION • #7 Case Avenue between Bernal Avenue and Valley Avenue: Case Avenue ranked among the higher scoring corridors based on its access to two schools, Downtown, and potential to improve bicycle facility comfort. The corridor has an existing south- bound Class IV separated bikeway along the school frontages. The Plan recommends converting the existing northbound Class II bicycle lane to a Class IV separated bikeway. During the walk audit, students accessing the schools were observed en- tering the southbound Class IV separated bikeway along the school frontages and traveling in the wrong direction; a separated facility on the opposite side of the roadway could help address this behavior. The corridor received lower community support, likely due to the existing low stress bicycle facility along the school frontages. • #8 Greenwood Road/Harvest Road between Mohr Avenue and Del Valle Parkway: Greenwood Road/Harvest Road ranked among the higher scoring corridors due to its access to schools, neighborhood connectivity, and relatively low implementa- tion cost. The corridor received lower community support. The crossing improvements at the Greenwood Road/Valley Avenue intersection ranked high (#6) in pedestrian improvements • #9 W Las Positas Boulevard between Foothill Road and Cranwood Court): West Las Positas Boulevard ranked lower in this Plan than in the 2018 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, where it was identified as the highest-priority corridor. This change reflects updates to the prioritization methodology, including greater emphasis on connections to major bicycle and pedestrian destinations, traffic stress levels, and equity considerations. In addition, recently completed improvements between 550 feet west of Payne Road and Hacienda Drive—including intersection enhancements and a quickbuild Class IV separated bikeway— have reduced traffic stress and improved walking and bicycling conditions along this portion of the corridor. Despite its lower overall ranking, West Las Positas Boulevard remains a critical eastwest connection on the north side of the city, providing an I-680 crossing and linking neighborhoods with schools and other key destinations. It is located on the bi- cycle focused high injury corridor, and the unimproved segments between Foothill Road and 550 feet west of Payne Road and between Hacienda Drive and Cranwood Court tied at ranking #6 among the bicycle segment improvements, indicating a continued need for additional investment. While community support for converting the existing quick-build separated bikeway to a permanent facility was low compared to corridors without existing low-stress facilities, the corridor overall received strong community support, underscoring its continued importance as a multimodal corridor.
