Prioritization and Implementation of Proposed Recommendations for the Pleasanton Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update August 18, 2026 P a g e | 8 The highest-ranked corridors (#1 to #9) are discussed in greater detail below to provide additional context on the factors contributing to their rankings: • #1 Main Street between Del Valle Parkway and Old Bernal Avenue: Main Street ranked as the highest-scoring corridor due to its Downtown location, access to schools and key destinations, equity considerations, and strong community support. Bicycle improvements along Main Street are constrained by existing roadway conditions; therefore, the recommended alternate low-stress bicycle route through Downtown follows the parallel Old Bernal Avenue–Peters Avenue–St. John Street corridor. The Main Street-Old Bernal Avenue–Peters Avenue–St. John Street bicycle improvements ranked among the top five bicycle projects and the Main Street/Division Street intersection improvements ranked among the top five pedestrian improvement projects. • #2 Santa Rita Road between I-580 and Del Valle Parkway: Santa Rita Road ranked as the second-highest-scoring corridor due to its role as a major north-south connection, access to schools and regional destinations, location on the bike/ped focused high injury corridor network, equity considerations, and strong community support. The low-stress bicycle facility recommended along the corridor ranked among the top five bicycle improvement projects and the pedestrian crossing improvements at the Santa Rita Road/Black Avenue intersection ranked among the top five pedestrian improvement projects. Due to the corridor’s scale and construction complexity, improvements would require phased implementation and grant funding. • #3 Valley Avenue between Hopyard Road and Stanley Boulevard: Valley Avenue ranked as the third-highest-scoring corridor due to its access to schools and neighborhoods, connection to the Iron Horse Trail, location on the bike/ped focused high injury corridor network, and equity considerations. Although it received moderate community support, it serves as an important east-west connection through central Pleasanton. • #4 Spring Avenue/Kottinger Drive between Main Street and Concord Street: Spring Avenue/Kottinger Drive ranked among the highest-scoring corridors due to its connection to Downtown Pleasanton, access to schools, and equity considerations. Although it received moderate community support, it serves as an important connection to the eastside neighborhoods. The Spring Avenue/Kottinger Drive and Bernal Avenue intersection also ranked among the top five pedestrian improvement projects. • #5 Bernal Avenue between Foothill Road and First Street: Bernal Avenue ranked among the highest-scoring corridors since it is the only I-680 crossing on the south side of Pleasanton connecting residential neighborhoods west of I-680 to Downtown. It is also located on the bike/ped focused high injury corridor network, is proximate to schools, has moderate implementation cost, and received strong community support. Three intersections—Bernal Avenue/Kottinger Drive, Bernal Avenue/Sunol Boulevard, and Bernal Avenue/Pleasanton Avenue—ranked among the top five pedestrian improvement projects.
