<br />6.2A <br />Page 14 <br />This will help separate cyclists from the heavy truck traffic that travels on Shoreway <br />Road to and from the highway. Due to the volume of truck traffic at this location it is <br />often hard for cyclist to navigate this intersection. A through bike lane will also be <br />installed for southbound cyclists. New bike sensitive traffic signal detectors will be <br />installed to help cyclists cross the intersection. Bike route signs and sharrows will be <br />installed on northbound Shoreway Road. In the San Carlos portion of Shoreway Road~ <br />which is parallel to highway 101 ~ San Carlos has agreed to restripe its roadway section <br />and install Class II bike lanes up to the San Carlos/Belmont city limit. <br /> <br />How does the project improve air quality? Explain: <br /> <br />The proposed Skyway/Shoreway Bike' Route Improvement proiect.. due to ai1l'ort <br />regulations preventing the use of the planned network route. will provide a gap closure <br />for the Regional Bikeway Network and the Bay Trail. This will provide both commute <br />and recreational cyclists greater access to the Regional Bikeway Network and a safer <br />riding experience than the current situation in this area. Currently cyclists are forced to <br />travel along Skyway Road to Redwood Shores Parkway ~ sharing travel lanes with <br />motorists. with no signage alerting drivers of their presence.' Commute cyclists often <br />then continue north on Shoreway Road following a north/south route adiacent to <br />Highway 101. All of these protect roads are currently unimproved for cyclists. For this <br />reason some cyclists are discouraged from using their bicycles to commute north and <br />south in this area. The new bicycle improvements will alert drivers to the bicycle rider's <br />presence on the roadways~ in some areas providing dedicated bike lanes to separate <br />cyclists from the motorists~ and encourage increased ridership and reduce motor vehicle <br />usage to travel north and south along the Peninsula. <br /> <br />In addition. this protect provides recreational access via a San Francisco Bay Trail <br />connection. and a completed route on the eastside of Highway 101 has potential to <br />encourage additional commute cycling to several of the large employers in that area. such <br />as Oracle and Electronic Arts. <br /> <br />Total Project Cost: $289.650.00 <br /> <br />% of Amenities/ Total Proj ect Cost: 0% <br />(Amenities defined as ADA access improvements, utility trenching, drainage work, fire <br />hydrants, landscaping, cosmetic resurfacing, surface improvements, etc.) <br /> <br />GAP CLOSURESI BARRIERS <br /> <br />Is the project identified in the MTC Regional Bicycle Plan as a project on the Regional <br />Bicycle Network? If so, list the specific project as defined in Attachment A Unbuilt <br />Regional Bikeway Network Links. How does the project overcome a gap or barrier in <br />the bicycle system network? Explain: <br /> <br />The proposed Skyway/Shoreway Bike Route Improvement protect due to ai1l'ort <br />regulations preventing the use of the planned network route. would provide a gap closure <br />for the Regional Bikeway Network and the Bay Trail. This will provide both commute <br />and recreational cyclists greater access to the Regional Bikeway Network and a safer <br />riding experience than the current situation in this area. <br />
