32 | 2026 PLEASANTON BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN EXISTING CONDITIONS AND NETWORK EVALUATION Existing Conditions Bicycle Network Pleasanton’s bicycle network includes a combi- nation of off-street trails, on-street bicycle lanes, neighborhood bike routes, and separated bike- ways. The City’s extensive trail system provides many comfortable, low-stress connections, while on-street facilities vary considerably in quali- ty depending on roadway characteristics. The bikeway network is particularly well connected in the north-central part of the city, near the Dub- lin-Pleasanton BART Station. In total, there are approximately 64 miles of bikeways, including: • 13 miles of Class I shared-use paths • 32 miles of Class II bicycle lanes • 9 miles of Class II buffered bicycle lanes • 7 miles of Class III bike routes • 3 miles of Class IV separated bicycle lanes Pleasanton’s network of Class I and unpaved shared-use paths provides comfortable, off-street routes for bicyclists and pedestrians and creates low-stress connections across major barriers, including grade-separated crossings beneath Valley Avenue, Hopyard Road, Stoneridge Drive, Santa Rita Road, and I-680. Although Pleasanton has a relatively comprehensive bicycle network, many key destinations remain connected by higher-speed arterial roadways where bicycling can be uncomfortable for many users.
