REDWOOD CITY EL CAMINO REAL CORRIDOR PLAN <br />GOAL <br />Promote, provide, and maintain a safe and convenient system of bicycle transportation on El Camino Real <br />to promote active transportation, reduce dependency on automobiles, enable recreation, connect the <br />community, encourage healthy lifestyles, and facilitate bicycling as a viable mode of travel for all ages and <br />abilities. <br />I <br />20 <br />STRATEGIES <br />1H Facilitate safe, efficient, and convenient bicycle <br />travel on El Camino Real through implementation <br />of Class IV or "protected" bikeways, which are on <br />the roadway but physically separated from vehicle <br />traffic. The preferred design, which is subject to <br />change and refinement with further study and <br />through testing or pilot programs, features: <br />- Curbside protected bikeways (one way in each direction <br />of travel) where on -street parking and "red curb" zones <br />currently exist. <br />- Protection from vehicle lanes using a physical raised <br />barrier and/or wide striped painted buffer with "soft -hit" <br />posts, with the design determined by conditions, avail- <br />able right of way, emergency vehicle and curbside access <br />needs. <br />- Continuous implementation from Northumberland <br />Street in the south to Whipple Road in the north, extend- <br />ing further north from Whipple to the northern city limits <br />as available right of way and conditions for safety allow. <br />Where there is a high volume of right -turning cars, right turn lanes should be main- <br />tained, and a clear and safe path for bicycles demarcated. All improvements shown <br />are conceptual and subject to further study and refinement. <br />Where there are fewer cars turning right, fully protected intersections should be <br />considered. All improvements shown are conceptual and subject to further study and <br />refinement. <br />T <br />a) <br />aD <br />cD <br />co <br />
