76 | 2026 PLEASANTON BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN SUPPORT PROGRAMS Maintenance & Operations Well-maintained facilities facilitate comfortable, convenient travel on bike and on foot. Pleasanton’s Traffic Engineering Division maintains all transportation facilities. Existing Efforts Currently, pedestrian-related signal equipment is maintained through monthly signal operation checks to ensure consistent function- ality of pedestrian push buttons and countdown heads. On-street bicycle facilities are maintained during routine pavement rehabilitation and resurfacing. The city offers a maintenance re- porting system for hazard reporting. The City has also procured a bike lane street sweeper to maintain protected bike lanes. Off-street facilities are more expensive and more difficult to maintain, particularly in terms of maintaining pavement quality. Not all the trails in Pleasanton are owned or maintained by the City. Zone 7 Water Agency manages the flood control channels (like the Arroyo Mocho and Arroyo del Valle), while East Bay Regional Park District manages major regional spines (like the Iron Horse Trail). Pleasan- ton cannot unilaterally perform structural modifications on land owned or managed by these external agencies. Program Opportunities • MO-1: Inter-Agency Multi-Use Path Design & Paving Stan-dards. Partner with Zone 7 Water Agency and the East Bay Regional Park District to design and pave shared-use paths. En- suring pavement can support the weight of heavy Zone 7 utility/ maintenance vehicles will prevent premature structural failure. • MO-2: Dedicated Trail Resurfacing Funds. Work across city departments to secure permanent, ongoing funding specifically for path and trail resurfacing, ensuring off-street networks are not neglected. • MO-3: Developer-Led Frontage Maintenance. Utilize devel- opment agreements to ensure property developers maintain bicycle and pedestrian facilities fronting new construction. • MO-4: Pavement Overlay and Bikeway Integration. Blend on- street bikeways on the focus network into the city’s existing pavement overlay program to ensure key active transportation corridors are prioritized during routine street resurfacing. • MO-5: Lifecycle Maintenance Cost Integration. Embed long- term maintenance and lifecycle costs into the initial design phase of all future bicycle and pedestrian projects. • MO-6: Pedestrian Hazard Repair Program. Establish a call in number for residents to report pedestrian-unfriendly hazards caused by tree roots, weather, and seismic activity (e.g., uneven sidewalks, steep driveway cross-slopes, broken crosswalk as- phalt, and non-ADA-compliant curb ramps). • MO-7: Neighborhood Vegetation Trimming Initiative. Launch public awareness campaigns regarding overgrown private shrubbery blocking sidewalks or bike lanes. Partner with neigh- borhood associations and environmental groups to host a com- munity “Trim Your Shrubbery Day.” • MO-8: Trail Stewardship Program. Create an “Adopt-a-Trail” volunteer program that enables community members, schools, neighborhood groups, and local businesses to participate in regular trail cleanups and report maintenance issues through the City’s reporting system. Provide recognition and outreach ma- terials to encourage long-term participation and stewardship of the trail network.
