REPORT TO BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE
SUBJECT
Title
2026 Annual Paving Project - List of Streets (Shariat)
Report
BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Works (DPW) completes an Annual Maintenance and Rehabilitation Project (Project) to maximize pavement life for various streets in the City. The project applies pavement treatments such as slurry seal, cape seal, or asphalt overlay. Once streets are identified to be included in the project, staff coordinates with the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) to review if the streets have the potential for adding bicycle facilities as identified in the City’s Bicycle Plan. It is important to note that if streets require removal of parking or travel lanes due to limited right-of-way widths or the construction of traffic calming measures, the recommendations in the Bicycle Plan cannot be implemented without extensive public outreach and traffic analyses/studies. These streets typically require more upfront work and time than can be accommodated in the Project timeline. Therefore, staff will create specific projects to complete outreach, analyses, and implementation activities for these streets, separately from the Project.
DISCUSSION
A map of the streets to be included in the 2026 Annual Maintenance and Rehabilitation Project are identified and shown in Attachment 1. Staff has reviewed the list of streets and recommends installing new or upgraded bicycle facilities on the following streets (Attachment 2):
1. Cabrillo Avenue (Calabazas Blvd. to Francis Ave.) - Class IIB Bicycle Lane
2. Camino Drive (Washington St. to Park Ave.) - Class III Bicycle Route
3. Garrity Way (Agnew Rd. to Lick Mill Blvd.) - Class III Bicycle Route
4. East River Parkway (Garrity Wy. to Lick Mill Blvd.) - Class III Bicycle Route
Cabrillo Avenue: On Cabrillo Avenue, staff recommends installing upgraded bicycle facilities compared to what is listed in the Bicycle Plan:
• Cabrillo Avenue (Calabazas Blvd. to Francis Ave.) - upgrade from Class II Bicycle Lane to Class II Buffered Bicycle Lane.
Adding a Class II buffered bicycle lane on Cabrillo Avenue would connect to the existing bicycle facility on this roadway and serves Briarwood Elementary School.
Camino Drive: On Camino Drive from Washington Street to Park Avenue, staff recommends installing a new Class III Bike Route consistent with the Class IIIB Bike Boulevard identified in the Bicycle Plan with the specific traffic calming improvements (to qualify as a Class IIIB Bicycle Boulevard) to be determined based on future community outreach and analyses.
Garrity Way: On Garrity Way from Agnew Road to Lick Mill Boulevard, staff recommends reinstalling a Class III Bike Route consistent with the Class IIIB Bike Boulevard identified in the Bicycle Plan with the specific traffic calming improvements (to qualify as a Class IIIB Bicycle Boulevard) to be determined based on future community outreach and analyses.
East River Parkway: On East River Parkway from Garrity Way to Lick Mill Boulevard, staff recommends installing a new Class III Bike Route. Although the City’s Bicycle Plan recommends a Class III Bike Route, staff recommends that at a future date (after community outreach and analysis), the City upgrade this section of East River Parkway with appropriate traffic calming so that this portion of East River Parkway will have a Class IIIB Bicycle Boulevard.
Finally, Attachment 3 provides a list of existing roadways where existing bicycle facilities will be reinstalled with no substantial change in the type of bicycle facility that exists today.
