facilities where feasible:

Continually updating the City’s bicycle master plan to incorporate best practices
and to be eligible for grant funding
•
As part of the Depot Street Study, plan for appropriate bicycle lane widths
•
Using best practices regarding bicycle lane striping on intersection approaches
•
Adding a second stripe to existing bicycle lanes to better delineate space for
cyclists, possibly during roadway repaving projects
•
Adding planned bicycle lanes
•
Constructing planned shared-use paths
•
Adding buffered bicycle lanes to Monterey Road between Main Avenue and
Dunne Avenue as part of a road diet
•
Adding bicycle racks throughout the Downtown to support cycling as an access
mode for business customers
•
Adding bicycle lockers at strategic locations throughout the Downtown to
support cycling as an access mode for employees
•
Ensuring signalized intersections have bicycle detection
•
Adding bicycle sharing, a form of bicycle rental with a fleet of shared bicycles in
pods at key locations in the city (e.g., Transit Center, Community and Cultural
Center, City Hall, Community Recreation Center, etc.)
