36 | 2026 PLEASANTON BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN <br />EXISTING CONDITIONS AND NETWORK EVALUATION <br />Active Transportation Network Evaluation <br />Despite a network of bikeways and pedestrian infrastructure citywide, it <br />is still challenging to travel around Pleasanton via active modes due to the <br />City’s network of multilane arterials. The Network Analysis was conducted <br />to identify challenging locations within Pleasanton’s bicycle and pedestrian <br />networks and to prioritize corridors and intersections where improvements <br />would most effectively enhance safety, comfort, and connectivity. The <br />analysis followed a five-step process: <br />S <br />T <br />E <br />P 1 Establish Bicycle and Pedestrian Network Goals <br />S <br />T <br />E <br />P 3 Identify the Bicycle and Pedestrian Focus <br />Network <br />S <br />T <br />E <br />P 2 Conduct Trip Potential Analysis <br />S <br />T <br />E <br />P 4 Evaluate Crash History and Level of Traffic <br />Stress (LTS) Along the Focus Network <br />S <br />T <br />E <br />P 5 Conduct a Needs Assessment for the Focus <br />Network <br />The following section describes the methodology <br />and results associated with each step of the Network <br />Analysis. <br />Bicycle and Pedestrian Network Goals <br />Prior to conducting existing conditions analyses, the <br />City’s vision and goals for its bicycle and pedestrian <br />networks was developed. Key questions included: <br />What does a successful bicycle and pedestrian <br />network look like in Pleasanton? <br />What does the community envision for the future <br />of walking and bicycling? <br />What are the outcomes the City is trying to <br />achieve through network investments? <br />Taking these key questions into account, and consider- <br />ing progress made toward the goals of the 2018 plan, a <br />set of goals that are both measurable and comprehen- <br />sive were developed. The City’s Vision and Goals for <br />this Plan are described in Chapter 1.
