<br />6.2A <br />. Page 15 <br />The proposed proi ect consists of an unbuilt bike route through multiple 1urisdictions. <br />which extends from Redwood City to San Carlos and continues into Belmont. The <br />proiect on the southern end will connect with the existing Bay Trail bike path at the end <br />of Skyway Road. adiacent to Highway 101. to Redwood Shores Parkway where existing <br />bike lanes are available for east/west travel. In addition a continuation of this north/south <br />route adiacent to Highway 101 will be installed on Shoreway Road. This proiect will add <br />approximately 1.6 miles of new bike route. It will include the addition of new bike route <br />signs and sharrows on Skyway Road over its full length. It will also include new bike <br />lane improvements for Shoreway Road and intersection improvements for the <br />intersection of Redwood Shores Parkway and Shoreway Road! Airport Way. <br /> <br />ACCESS <br /> <br />Access is provided to destination: School <br /> <br />Regional Transit <br /> <br />Regional Activity CenterlBusiness District <br /> <br />Connection across County linelbarrier <br /> <br />Located in a Priority Development Area (PDA) <br /> <br />How does the proj ect provide access to the specific destination? Explain: <br /> <br />The Skyway/Shoreway Bike Route Improvement proiect will close an existing gap of the <br />Regional Bike Network and the Bay Trail that is between the existing Class I bike path <br />next to the auxiliary lane of US 101 that terminates at the end of Skyway Road and route <br />that is planned around the southern side of the San Carlos Airport but is inaccessible due <br />to the airport regulations. The Regional Bike Network and Bay Trail are re--established at <br />the end of Twin Dolphin drive. The current unimproved route is used by both commute <br />and recreational bicycle riders. Cyclists are forced to travel along Skyway Road to <br />Redwood Shores Parkway and further north on Shoreway road sharing travel lanes with <br />motorists. with no signage alerting drivers of their presence. <br /> <br />This proiect provides recreational access through the San Francisco Bay Trail connection <br />and a completed route on the eastside of Highway 101 has potential to encourage <br />additional commute cycling to several of the large employers in that area.. such as Oracle <br />and Electronic Arts. <br /> <br />PROJECT READINESS <br /> <br />At what stage is the design of the project? <br /> <br />Preliminary design for the proiect has been completed. Once funding is secure the City <br />will share the project design with representatives from the local cyclist community and <br />solicit their input on the design of the pr01ect. The city will then incorporate their input <br />to address any concerns or additions the bike community feels are necessary for the final <br />design. The project design will be finalized after review with the local cyclist community <br />and prior to programming the funds. <br />
