CHAPTER 1 | MOBILItY 21 1I At intersections, base the protected bikeway inter- section design on the geometry of the roadway, available right of way, and volume of through and turning movements, while optimizing safety for each mode. 1J Ensure safety and compatibility between bicycle travel and SamTrans buses, designing bus stops to minimize conflicts with bicycles and vehicles and allow for improved bus mobility. See also strategies under Section 1.3, Riding Transit. -Bus stations that are located at intersections should be installed on the far side of the intersec- tion so that the bus has already crossed through the intersection before pulling up to the stop. -Explore installing “floating islands” for bus sta- tions that are mid-block. 1K Continue working with the Managers Mobility Partnership (part of Joint Venture Silicon Valley) to create and implement a continuous safe Peninsula Bikeway (Class IV) connecting Redwood City, Menlo Park, Stanford, Palo Alto, and Mountain View. 1L Ensure that, with the implementation of protected bikeways on El Camino Real, the following also occurs: -Driveways are designed to maintain access to businesses while providing awareness of the crossing zone -Emergency vehicles may still access the side- walk (especially at fire hydrants) and businesses, particularly those without driveways and on-site parking lots -Commercial loading and solid waste service is allowed curb access during specific times of day, preferably in the early morning or late evening -Increased bicycle amenities are installed along the Corridor at key locations, such as bicycle parking and tune-up stations -Within a Parking Management Plan, adequate parking is identified for existing businesses along El Camino Real in conjunction with the removal of on-street parking along the Corridor Paint and/or grade changes at driveways alert both drivers and bicyclists to conflict zones. All improvements shown are conceptual and subject to further study and refinement.
