11 At intersections, base the protected bikeway inter- <br />section design on the geometry of the roadway, <br />available right of way, and volume of through and <br />turning movements, while optimizing safety for <br />each mode. <br />1J Ensure safety and compatibility between bicycle <br />travel and SamTrans buses, designing bus stops to <br />minimize conflicts with bicycles and vehicles and <br />allow for improved bus mobility. See also strategies <br />under Section 1.3, Riding Transit. <br />- Bus stations that are located at intersections <br />should be installed on the far side of the intersec- <br />tion so that the bus has already crossed through <br />the intersection before pulling up to the stop. <br />- Explore installing "floating islands" for bus sta- <br />tions that are mid -block. <br />Paint andlor grade changes at driveways alert both drivers and bicyclists to conflict zones. <br />All improvements shown are conceptual and subject to further study and refinement. <br />1K Continue working with the Managers Mobility <br />Partnership (part of Joint Venture Silicon Valley) to <br />create and implement a continuous safe Peninsula <br />Bikeway (Class IV) connecting Redwood City, Menlo <br />Park, Stanford, Palo Alto, and Mountain View. <br />1L Ensure that, with the implementation of protected <br />bikeways on El Camino Real, the following also <br />occurs: <br />- Driveways are designed to maintain access to <br />businesses while providing awareness of the <br />crossing zone <br />- Emergency vehicles may still access the side- <br />walk (especially at fire hydrants) and businesses, <br />particularly those without driveways and on-site <br />parking lots <br />- Commercial loading and solid waste service is <br />allowed curb access during specific times of day, <br />preferably in the early morning or late evening <br />- Increased bicycle amenities are installed along <br />the Corridor at key locations, such as bicycle <br />parking and tune-up stations <br />- Within a Parking Management Plan, adequate <br />parking is identified for existing businesses along <br />El Camino Real in conjunction with the removal <br />of on -street parking along the Corridor <br />CHAPTER 11 MOBILITY <br />i <br />CD <br />Cn <br />O <br />
