90 | 2026 PLEASANTON BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN <br />IMPLEMENTATION <br />Project Prioritization <br />The Plan uses a combination of technical evaluation and community input to prioritize recommended bicycle and pedestrian im- <br />provements. The prioritization process provides a consistent framework for comparing projects and identifying general implementa- <br />tion priorities. <br />The rankings are intended as a planning tool rather than a fixed construction schedule. In determining when and how individual proj- <br />ects are advanced, the City should also consider project readiness, available funding, coordination with planned roadway or utility <br />work, grant opportunities, safety needs, community input, operational considerations, and other implementation factors. <br />Each criterion was assigned a maximum point value based on its relative importance to the Plan’s goals and community input (see <br />Table 5). <br />Prioritization Methodology <br />The project prioritization framework evaluated the recommended bicycle and pedestrian improvements using six criteria: <br />• Safety (maximum 10 points) <br />• Safe Routes to School (maximum 10 points) <br />• Access to Destinations / Connection across Barriers (maximum 8 points) <br />• Comfort (maximum 8 points) <br />• Equity (maximum 8 points) <br />• Planning-Level Cost (maximum 6 points) <br />The resulting technical score was combined with community preference, with the technical evaluation weighted at 80 percent and <br />community input weighted at 20 percent to establish the final project ranking. This approach recognizes that technical analysis <br />provides a consistent basis for comparing projects, while community input helps identify improvements that residents consider <br />important based on their experience using the City’s transportation network.
