104 | 2026 PLEASANTON BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN <br />IMPLEMENTATION <br />Funding <br />Successful implementation of the Plan will require a combination of local, regional, state, and federal funding. Because the Plan in- <br />cludes projects ranging from smaller spot improvements to major corridor investments, funding strategies should be matched to the <br />scale, cost, and implementation requirements of each recommendation. <br />LOCAL AND EXISTING <br />FUNDING. <br />The City should continue <br />to use existing transporta- <br />tion, capital improvement, <br />maintenance, and devel - <br />opment-related funding <br />to advance improvements <br />that can be incorporated <br />into planned projects and <br />ongoing programs. Op- <br />portunities to coordinate <br />bicycle and pedestrian <br />improvements with road- <br />way resurfacing, utility <br />work, traffic signal projects, <br />development projects, <br />school-area improvements, <br />and other planned invest- <br />ments should be pursued <br />to reduce project costs and <br />accelerate implementation. <br />COMPETITIVE FUNDING. <br />Major Capital Corridors <br />and other projects requir- <br />ing substantial investment <br />should be positioned for <br />competitive regional, state, <br />and federal funding. Po- <br />tential sources include <br />programs administered <br />through the MTC, Alameda <br />CTC, Caltrans, and other <br />agencies, including the Ac- <br />tive Transportation Program <br />(ATP), Highway Safety Im- <br />provement Program (HSIP), <br />Office of Traffic Safety <br />(OTS) grants, and other ap- <br />plicable programs. The City <br />should advance planning, <br />design, cost estimates, and <br />other project development <br />activities as appropriate to <br />position projects for future <br />funding opportunities. <br />DEVELOPMENT AND <br />PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES <br />Development projects <br />can provide opportunities <br />to implement bicycle and <br />pedestrian improvements <br />through frontage <br />improvements, conditions <br />of approval, development <br />agreements, and other <br />applicable mechanisms. <br />The City should also <br />coordinate with schools, <br />BART, regional agencies, <br />neighboring jurisdictions, <br />property owners, <br />businesses, and community <br />organizations when projects <br />or programs provide shared <br />benefits or extend beyond <br />City jurisdiction. <br />PHASED AND OPPORTUNISTIC <br />IMPLEMENTATION. <br />Large or complex projects <br />should be advanced in <br />phases when appropriate <br />rather than waiting for <br />funding to construct an <br />entire corridor. Individual <br />segments, intersections, or <br />supporting improvements <br />can be implemented as <br />funding becomes available <br />or when related projects <br />create an opportunity to <br />advance them. Similarly, <br />lower-ranked projects <br />should not be excluded <br />from consideration when a <br />grant, development project, <br />resurfacing project, or <br />other funding opportunity <br />provides a practical means <br />of implementation. <br />Funding programs, eligibility requirements, and available resources will change over time. The City should periodically review funding <br />opportunities and adjust implementation strategies as new programs and opportunities become available.
