2026 PLEASANTON BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN | 13 <br />INTRODUCTION <br />Plan Purpose <br />The 2026 Pleasanton Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan pro- <br />vides a roadmap for improving walking, bicycling, and rolling <br />throughout the city over the next few years. Building upon the <br />2018 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, this update reflects <br />completed projects, current community priorities, evolving travel <br />patterns, and advancements in active transportation planning <br />and design. The Plan establishes a community-driven vision and <br />identifies infrastructure, programmatic, and policy improvements <br />that will create a safer, more comfortable, and more connected <br />network for people of all ages and abilities. <br />Since adoption of the 2018 Plan, the City has implemented nu- <br />merous bikeway upgrades, crossing enhancements, and Safe <br />Routes to School improvements. As the community continues to <br />grow and travel patterns evolve, this update identifies the next <br />generation of investments needed to improve safety, expand <br />transportation choices, strengthen connectivity, and support ac- <br />cess to schools, parks, downtown, transit, employment centers, <br />and other everyday destinations. <br />Technical analysis together with extensive community engage- <br />ment through the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Trails Committee <br />(BPTC), community workshops, pop-up events, walk audits, and <br />online surveys established the foundation for the recommenda- <br />tions presented throughout this Plan. <br />13 <br />BIKEWAY IMPROVEMENTS* <br />• 0.2 miles of Class I shared-use <br />paths <br />• 1 mile of Class II bicycle lanes <br />• 9 miles of Class II buffered bicycle <br />lanes <br />• 3 miles of Class IV separated <br />bicycle lanes <br />27 <br />PEDESTRIAN <br />IMPROVEMENTS <br />including 22 Safe Route to School Projects <br />Figure 1. Projects Completed Since 2018 <br />~1000 feet <br />SIDEWALK <br />IMPROVEMENTS <br />along Canyon Way <br />Walking and Bicycling in Pleasanton Today <br />Pleasanton has a mix of established neighborhoods, newer residential areas, employment centers, schools, parks, open spaces, <br />commercial districts, and regional destinations. The City is served by two BART stations and an extensive network of sidewalks, bike- <br />ways, and shared-use trails that support walking and bicycling trips for both everyday travel and recreation. Together, these facilities <br />connect neighborhoods to schools, employment centers, downtown Pleasanton, parks, transit, and other community destinations. <br />At the same time, Pleasanton’s active transportation network faces challenges due to high-speed arterials, and freeway crossings
