Table 5-28: Census Tract 9 Bicycle Improvements

Bicycle Improvements Bicycle recommendations around the Highland Avenue at Eucalyptus Drive bus stops will provide a safer and less stressful bicycle travel option particularly along Highland Avenue. The San Bernardino Non-Motorized Transportation Plan provides a planned network of bicycle facilities throughout the City.

As shown in Figure 5-27, the bus stops are not currently served by an existing bicycle facility, however, the bus stops are planned to be supported with Class II bicycle lanes on Highland Avenue. Other nearby proposed bicycle facilities include a Class 1 multi-use path on the Sand Canyon Trail about a quarter mile to the east, and a Class II bicycle lane on Sterling Avenue slightly over half a mile west of the bus stops. Where space is available, painted stripe buffers should be installed along all planned Class II bicycle lanes. Signage should be considered to provide users destination information and bring attention to changes in roadway conditions.

The following list of bicycle projects are derived from the prioritized bicycle network in the San Bernardino Non-Motorized Transportation Plan as they relate to proximity to the Highland Avenue at Eucalyptus Drive bus stops.
