2026 PLEASANTON BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN | 5 <br />EXECUTIVE SUMMARYPlan Vision and Goals <br />The Vision and Goals define the long-term direction for active transportation in Pleasanton, establishing a clear framework for improving <br />safety, comfort, and connectivity for people walking, bicycling, and rolling throughout the city. <br />Vision <br />Pleasanton envisions a safe, low-stress, and connected network for walking, bicycling, and rolling that empowers people of all ages and abili- <br />ties to travel and recreate without barriers. <br />Goals <br />SUPPORT SUSTAINABILITY: Advance Climate Action Plan goals of reducing vehicle miles traveled by encouraging active transportation and decreasing reliance on automobiles. <br />ENSURE ONGOING MAINTENANCE: <br />Maintain existing and new bicycle and <br />pedestrian facilities so they remain safe, <br />comfortable, and accessible. <br />ENHANCE SAFETY: Eliminate bicycle <br />and pedestrian fatalities and significantly <br />reduce serious and non-fatal collisions <br />throughout the City. <br />INCREASE COMFORT: Apply a “one-better” <br />approach to achieve progressively lower <br />Levels of Traffic Stress (LTS), creating <br />routes that are comfortable for people of all <br />ages and abilities where feasible <br />ENHANCE SAFETY: Eliminate bicycle and pedestrian fatalities and significantly reduce serious and non-fatal collisions throughout the City. <br />Vision Network <br />The Vision Network represents the City’s long-term vision for a <br />connected, citywide network of walking and bicycling facilities (see <br />Figure ES-1). It comes from the 2018 Bicycle and Pedestrian Mas- <br />ter Plan. It includes existing the bicycle network and and adds new <br />streets to it where there currently are no bike facilities. <br />Focus Network, Project Recommendations, <br />and Implementation <br />The Focus Network is a subset of the Vision Network and includes <br />21 miles of bicycle and pedestrian corridors most likely to benefit <br />from investment in the active transportation network over the next <br />five years (see Figure ES-2). While bicycle and pedestrian facilities <br />currently exist along these corridors, the 2026 Plan identifies proj- <br />ects to further enhance safety, comfort, and access. Recommend - <br />ed bicycle projects are shown in Figure ES-3, and recommended <br />pedestrian projects are shown in Figure ES-4.
