<br />San Diego Association of Governments
<br />• San Diego Association of Governments — University Bikeway Project consists of a
<br />road diet, removal of free -right slip lanes, separated bike lanes, buffered bike lanes,
<br />protected intersections, signal -protected crossings, new/enhanced pedestrian
<br />crossings, curb extensions, speed cushions, bikeway markings, and other high -
<br />visibility treatments. Expected benefits include a dramatic drop in the level of traffic
<br />stress, reduced speeds, increased protection from vehicle traffic, increased
<br />crossings, shorter crossings, greater visibility, and traffic calming.
<br />• City of Escondido — Escondido Creek Trail Transit Center Bicycle Path Improvements
<br />Project will increase active transportation connectivity by improving approximately 1.6
<br />miles of underutilized Class I bike trail and close several bike/pedestrian gaps along
<br />the trail. This project will add lighting, pedestrian signals, crosswalks, ramps, and
<br />signage to two intersections.
<br />San Joaquin Council of Governments
<br />• San Joaquin County — Oro Avenue and Section Avenue Sidewalk Improvements
<br />Project will install sidewalks, curbs, and gutters on approximately 1,900 feet of Oro
<br />Avenue, as well as approximately 1,100 feet of Section Avenue. Seven new curb
<br />ramps will be installed, allowing easier access for those walking or using wheeled
<br />apparatus. The addition of sidewalks, curb ramps, and a beacon in this area
<br />addresses a need to connect students to nearby schools and community members to
<br />transit stops, stores, markets and childcare facilities.
<br />• City of Stockton — Safe Routes to School Sidewalk Gap Closure Project will install
<br />curbs, gutters, and sidewalks to close sidewalk gaps along routes to schools
<br />surrounding five school sites. Minimum five feet wide sidewalks, bulb -outs, pedestrian
<br />lighting, school signage, compliant ADA curb ramps, and where necessary, a
<br />pedestrian gate and high visibility crosswalks will be installed to provide protection
<br />and increase safety for students walking to school. The anticipated benefit of this
<br />project is an increase in safety for students which will lead to an increase in the
<br />number of students who use these new or upgraded facilities. Additionally, the City
<br />anticipates an improvement to public health and reduction in greenhouse gas
<br />emissions.
<br />Southern California Association of Governments
<br />• City of Ontario — Pedestrian Improvements around Haynes, Vista Grande, and Oaks
<br />Schools Project will complete a pedestrian network by installing missing sidewalks,
<br />replacement ADA curb ramps, truncated domes on existing ADA curb ramps, street
<br />lights, enhanced crosswalks, and shade trees. In addition, an education and
<br />encouragement non -infrastructure component is included to encourage children to
<br />walk to school. Upon completion of the project, residents will have improved
<br />pedestrian access to local schools, parks, commercial centers, and transit stops, and
