Table 5-16: Census Tract 5 Bicycle Improvements

Bicycle Improvements Bicycle recommendations around the Waterman Avenue at 5th Street bus stops will provide a safer and less stressful bicycle travel option to and from bus stops while supporting the needs of all users.

As shown in Figure 5-15, the bus stops is currently served by an existing bicycle lane east of the bus stops. Proposed bicycle facilities serving the bus stops includes a Class II bicycle lane west of the bus stops, as well as a Mid City Connector multi-use path that intersects 5th Street just east of the bus stops. The San Bernardino County Non-Motorized Transportation Plan provides a planned network of bicycle facilities throughout the County. The City of San Bernardino is currently developing an Active Transportation Plan which further assesses the bicycle network in more detail.

Where space is available, painted stripe buffers should be installed along existing and planned Class II bicycle lanes. Signage should be considered to provide users destination information and bring attention to changes in roadway conditions.
