Chapter 1 x Executive Summary <br />1-22 <br />implementation. However, alternative and more localized bicycle and pedestrian improvements <br />are recommended. These are described in Chapter 5 as well as below: <br />ƒ Pursuing an alternative to the bicycle and pedestrian multiuse path on the Dumbarton <br />ROW. The Bay Trail option described in Chapter 5 proposes to use sections of the current <br />and proposed Bay Trail between Seaport Boulevard and University Avenue with on-street <br />connections as required. Starting at the Redwood City Caltrain Station, a new Class II <br />bikeway would be constructed on Broadway, connected to a similar path heading north on <br />Chestnut Street. A Class I bikeway would then follow the Rail Corridor under US 101 to <br />Blomquist Street, tying into the planned section of the Bay Trail on Cargill Levee between <br />Seaport Boulevard and Bayfront Park1 and the existing section of the Bay Trail between <br />Bayfront Park and University Avenue, ultimately leading to the Highway Bridge. This option <br />would have a total length of 5.9 miles to University Avenue. <br />ƒ Upgrading the existing bicycle and pedestrian lane on the Highway Bridge (including <br />extending the Class I facility on Marshlands Road and implementing pavement and striping <br />improvements along the entire facility) <br />ƒ Pursuing improvements identified in county and city bicycle and pedestrian plans with the <br />potential to enhance local and regional access to the Dumbarton Highway Bridge from key <br />origins within the study area. <br />Appendix M contains additional information about the capital and operating and maintenance <br />costs of these proposed improvements phased over time. <br />1.9 Financing Options <br />To complete a full plan of funding and finance for the recommended DTCS infrastructure <br />improvements, approximately $2.58 billion in capital and $90 million in annual operating funding <br />will need to be identified for full build-out. Given the size of the project cost, multiple existing and <br />new sources and strategies will need to be pursued to deliver this phased set of complex <br />operational and infrastructure recommendations. SamTrans evaluated nine such strategies, <br />summarized in Table 1-5. <br /> <br />1 Bay Trail proposed segment No. 2089.0 <br />6.1.D. - Page 31
