REPORT TO BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE
SUBJECT
Title
Complete Streets Review for the 2026 Annual Street Maintenance and Rehabilitation Project (Chan)
Report
BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Works (DPW) is preparing the design for the 2026 Annual Street Maintenance and Rehabilitation Project (Attachment 1).
This project provides maintenance and rehabilitation treatments to maximize pavement life for various streets in the City. The project applies pavement treatments ranging from slurry seal, asphalt overlay, and full depth replacement. Staff coordinates with the BPAC to review and determine if the project streets have the potential for adding bicycle facilities as identified in the Santa Clara Bicycle Plan. It is important to note that if a street requires removal of parking or travel lanes due to limited right-of-way widths, the recommendations in the Bicycle Plan cannot be implemented without extensive public outreach, traffic analyses, and study.

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
