TO: Parks, Recreation and Arts Commission May 12, 2021
SUBJECT: Review and Comment on Draft Townwide Bicycle Master Plan, CIP
C-609
BACKGROUND
The Capital Improvement Program includes the Townwide Bicycle Master Plan, CIP C-
609 (Attachment A). The project consists of the development of a comprehensive
Townwide Bicycle Master Plan (“BMP”) to serve as a mechanism to identify and
prioritize bicycle infrastructure improvements, establish policies and objectives, establish
strategies to enhance and maintain bicycle safety, better-position the Town to compete
for future grant funding opportunities, and to encourage and promote bicycling as a
feasible form of transportation throughout Danville.
In the winter of 2020, the Town procured consultant services with Alta Planning +
Design, Inc. (“Consultant”) to assist the Town with the development of the BMP. Work
commenced on the BMP in February 2020 and continued through April 2021 and
consisted of the development of analysis of existing bicycle conditions, hosting of virtual
public outreach events, analysis of public comments received, analysis of needs and
constraints, and development of recommendations for policies, projects and programs.
Updates on the development of the BMP was presented to the Parks, Recreation and Arts
Commission at its regular meetings on May 20, 2020 and December 8, 2020.
At this juncture, the Draft BMP (Attachment B) has been completed and is being
presented before the Parks, Recreation and Arts Commission for review and comment.
The Draft BMP was developed in a manner that refines and builds upon the Goals and
Policies established in the Town of Danville 2030 General Plan; the Danville Parks, Recreation
and Arts Strategic Plan Update (2017); and the Contra Costa Transportation Authority’s
Contra Costa Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan (2018). Funding of the BMP was
provided by the Measure J Contra Costa Transportation for Livable Communities (“CC-
TLC”) grant program.
SUMMARY
As previously described, the development of the BMP began in early 2020 with an in-
depth analysis of the Town’s current bicycle infrastructure, analysis of collision history
and identification of historical safety concerns, and a review of planned projects and
programs contained in the Town’s Capital Improvement Program. In summary, the BMP
is organized into six Chapters and Appendices:
▪ Chapter 1 – Introduction to the BMP that includes a summary of strengths,
weaknesses and opportunities for bicycling;
▪ Chapter 2 – Establishment of Vision, Goals and Objectives;
▪ Chapter 3 – Summary of existing bicycle conditions within the Town;
▪ Chapter 4 – Establishment of planning-level recommendations for future
infrastructure improvements and a preliminary prioritization
strategy for the recommendations;
▪ Chapter 5 – Summary of Policies and Programs that supports and encourages
bicycling;
▪ Chapter 6 – Definition of an implementation strategy for the recommendations.
▪ Appendices – Plan review, existing bicycle volume counts, public comments
received, and a bicycle-specific wayfinding signage
implementation strategy.
Specifically, regarding the Infrastructure Recommendations contained in Chapter 4 of the
Draft BMP, there are a total of 48 location-specific (“spot”) improvements such as at
intersections and trail crossings, in addition to recommendations for improvements or
enhancements to bicycle segments (routes, lanes and paths). A prioritization rubric was
developed to provide a planning-level effort for the future programming and planning
of bicycle infrastructure projects. However, it is to be noted that all potential
infrastructure improvement recommendations will be evaluated in more detail through
future Capital Improvement Program processes and as funding sources are identified.
Public Outreach
A robust public outreach strategy was planned for the development of the BMP and that
was scheduled to take place throughout the summer and fall of 2020. This task was to
consist of in-person “pop-up” events, listening sessions, group/stakeholder bicycle rides,
and public workshops at Town facilities to provide an interactive, hands-on opportunity
for the public to provide feedback on bicycling in Danville. Unfortunately, due to the
pandemic, staff and the consultant team were required to retool the outreach plan and
take a completely virtual approach to engage with the public.
In summer 2020, a project-specific website was launched that provided the public with
the ability to stay informed on the project status, the schedule of virtual public outreach
events, and that featured an interactive mapping webtool that allowed the public to
provide detailed comments and feedback on existing bicycling conditions throughout
Danville grouped into two categories consisting of individual “spot” locations and
roadway segments (see Figure 1 below).
Figure 1- Interactive Mapping Webtool
Input provided via the public online webtool proved to be one of the key sources of public
comments received on existing bicycling conditions. Subsequently, in 2021, the webtool
was reconfigured and re-opened to provide the public with the opportunity to comment
on proposed recommendations that were developed through a combination of staff
input, the Town’s current Capital Improvement Program, and public input received via
the virtual events, online webtool, and other traditional forms of public interfacing such
as email and phone contact.
In summary, there were a total of five virtual public outreach events that consisted of a
stakeholder listening session (June 2020), two virtual pop-up events (September 2020),
and two public workshops (September 2020 and March 2021). As previously described,
updates on the development of the BMP development were provided to the Parks,
Recreation and Arts Commission at their regularly scheduled meetings on May 20, 2020
and December 8, 2020.
Next Steps
Upon review and comment by the Parks, Recreation and Arts Commission, and, in
conjunction with any additional comments received from the public, it is recommended
that the Draft BMP be forwarded to the Danville Town Council for review and comment
at its upcoming regularly scheduled Study Session on June 8, 2021 and submitted for final
adoption at its regularly scheduled Town Council meeting on July 6, 2021.

DANVILLE BICYCLE MASTER PLAN | SPRING 2021
5
The Town of Danville is a desirable destination in Contra Costa County
and the greater Bay Area for bicycling. Many avid cyclists live in or
visit Danville due to its proximity to regional trails and recreational
attractions such as Mount Diablo State Park and the Iron Horse Trail.
The Town has grown considerably since its origins as a small rural
village. To this day, Danville is primarily residential and continues to
enjoy its semi-rural character, but its close proximity to major employment
centers throughout the Bay Area has brought population growth and new
development to the Town and surrounding areas in Contra Costa County
over the last several decades.
Danville has an extensive bicycle network
of bike routes, bike lanes and shared-use
facilities that has evolved over time. It is
also connected to the Iron Horse Regional
Trail which bifurcates the downtown area,
spanning from the City of Concord to the
City of Pleasanton providing a continuous,
north-south connection to transit and other
regional destinations.
Bicycling popularity in the Bay Area,
particularly within Danville, has seen
a steady increase over the last decade.
Concurrently, the Town has continued its
commitment to improve upon its robust
network of trails and on-street bicycle
facilities to keep pace with the demand and to
address safety issues. However, the need to
take a holistic approach to plan for the future
of bicycling in Danville has been sought
by the Town to adequately respond and be
proactive to the needs of the growing cycling
population, and as well, to provide short and
long-term strategies for improving bicycle
connectivity and safety by way of identifying,
planning and incorporating modern bicycle
facility infrastructure advancements.
In 2020, with funding provided by Contra
Costa’s Measure J ½-cent transportation
sales tax program, the Town embarked on
the development of its first Bicycle Master
Plan that will serve as the blueprint for the
planning and implementation of programs
and projects to enhance its existing network
through providing safe and comfortable
bicycle facilities for bicyclists of all ages and
abilities.

PLAN ORGANIZATION
The plan is organized into six chapters and
six appendices.
•Chapter 1 – provides an introduction to
the plan and a summary of strengths,
weaknesses and opportunities for
bicycling
•Chapter 2 – introduces the collective
Vision, Goals and Objectives for the plan
•Chapter 3 – summarizes the existing
conditions in the Town of Danville
•Chapter 4 – provides recommendations
for the infrastructure improvements
throughout the town’s roadways
•Chapter 5 – includes a summary of
Policies and Programs to support
bicycling around town
•Chapter 6 – defines the implementation
strategy for the plan’s recommendations
•Appendix 1 – plan review
•Appendix 2 – existing bike counts
•Appendix 3 – public comments
•Appendix 4 – wayfinding docket
•Appendix 5 – infrastructure
recommendations
•Appendix 6 – prioritization results
PLAN DEVELOPMENT
The Plan was developed over a year-long
process, beginning in 2020. Figure 1
depicts a high-level approach to creating
the final plan. To begin, an assessment of
existing conditions was completed in spring
2020. This was the first of several steps for
developing the Town’s Bicycle Master Plan
and that serve as the foundation for the
development of the Plan’s recommendations.
Throughout the duration of the project, Town
staff requested community feedback on
bicycling accessibility, safety, and existing
infrastructure, and desired improvements.
Several themes emerged from the feedback
received including a desire for:
•More comfortable bicycle facilities
•Safer bicycle crossings at intersections
particularly along the Iron Horse Trail
•Increased information sharing and
public input on proposed and future
improvements, project status, and
effectiveness of projects implemented to
date
Finally, a two-pronged approach to
developing the recommendations was used
that consisted of community input, paired
with a data-driven analysis of existing
conditions.

PUBLIC OUTREACH
Community outreach was affected by the
start of the COVID-19 pandemic starting in
March 2020. While the Town had hoped to
provide in-person outreach in the form of
community meetings and pop-up events,
restrictions on such gatherings during 2020
and much of the first half of 2021 required
a different approach to those types of
traditional outreach events. Consequently,
most of the public engagement activities
were conducted online through the use
of stakeholder listening sessions, online
workshops, online pop-up meetings, and
interactive webmaps. Feedback obtained was
used to inform the development of this plan.
Online Community Workshops
Two online community workshops were
held to 1) solicit input on safety issues
and concerns; and 2) request feedback on
recommended improvements. The workshops
were held on September 24, 2020 and
March 11, 2021 and included a combined
participation of 40 residents and interested
individuals. The meetings were held via
Zoom conference call and afforded the
community the opportunity to ask questions
about the project and discuss potential
improvements and solutions to enhance
bicycle safety and connectivity. Feedback
received during the workshops helped inform
the recommendations contained in the plan.
Stakeholder Listening Session
A meeting was held on June 23, 2020 with
representatives from local CBOs and school-
age students to discuss the project goals,
review public outreach strategy, and request
feedback on key destinations, barriers
and major gaps in the bicycling network.
Seventeen people attended the meeting and
provided feedback that included information
about the most challenging intersections, and
potential projects to be implemented.

Online Pop-Up Events
In lieu of in-person pop-up events, Town
staff hosted two online pop-up events on
September 2nd and September 10th 2020.
The events were streamed on the Town’s
Facebook live-feed and were recorded so
as to increase level of community outreach
and engagement. The pop-ups provided
information about the timeline of the project
and existing facilities. They also afforded the
opportunity for attendees to share feedback
on problem areas in the Town that represent
barriers for people bicycling. A total of 495
people were directly engaged (i.e., watched
the video presentation and provided input)
and a total of 2,914 people were reached
(i.e., users who watched the video but didn’t
provide input). Key themes about providing
safer and more connected facilities emerged
from these events.
Interactive Webmap
Town Staff launched an online interactive
map to increase the opportunities for the
public to provide feedback on specific
locations during the discovery and
implementation phases of the project. This
allowed residents and webmap users to
provide input on existing issues surrounding
bicycling, and share their thoughts on the
proposed infrastructure improvements. The
maps were available through the project

and were advertised through public outreach
events and printed invitations. Over 400
users provided feedback about bicycling in
Danville, specific problem areas to address
through this plan, and thoughts on the Plan’s
recommendations.
DISCOVERY PHASE
The first phase of an interactive map was
available online from July to October 2020.
Users were asked to identify routes they like
biking on, and routes where they’d like to
bike on. Users were also asked to identify
specific locations that represent barriers and
safety hazards for biking. Over 150 comments
were received during this period. Figure 4
includes a screen capture of the interactive
map during the Discovery Phase of the
project.
IMPLEMENTATION PHASE
The interactive map was also made available
to provide residents the ability to comment
on the proposed improvements. The map
was open from March to April 2021. Users
were asked to “like”, “dislike” and comment
on the proposed facilities. The feedback
generated was then used to help inform the
prioritization portion of the project. A total
of 255 users interacted with the webmap and
provided over 1,000 comments during this
period. Figure 5 provides a screen capture of
the Implementation Phase interactive map.

DANVILLE BICYCLE MASTER PLAN | SPRING 2021
17
The Town of Danville prides itself on a small town atmosphere and
outstanding quality of life. Situated in the San Ramon Valley at the base of
Mount Diablo, the town’s proximity to regional trails and parks makes it a
popular destination for bicycling and an ideal place to focus on improving
the bicycle network.
Danville is primarily residential, with a semi-
rural character. The historic downtown is still
the principal commercial district, although
other commercial areas and public facilities
extend along I-680 and Camino Tassajara.
The town is approximately 18 square miles
in area. A map of Danville including key
regional destinations is shown in Figure 6..
The Town has an abundance of park and
open space land, with over 25% of land
classified as General Open Space. The
town sits between Las Trampas Wilderness
Regional Preserve, the Sycamore Valley
Open Space Reserve, and Mount Diablo
State Park. The Iron Horse Trail, a regional
trail that extends from Pleasanton north to
Concord, passes through downtown Danville.
These and other trails and recreational routes
bring hundreds of bicyclists into Danville,
and bicycles outnumber cars on Mount
Diablo roads on a typical weekend.

LAND USE & MAJOR DESTINATIONS
Most land in Danville is designated for low-
density residential housing. Of the 16,589
housing units in Danville, 89% are single-
family homes. According to the latest US
Census figures, 84% of all housing structures
are owner-occupied.1 Areas of mixed-use and
commercial development lie primarily along
the I-680 corridor, which bifurcates the Town,
although there are parcels of commercial
and mixed-use development along Camino
Tassajara Road and San Ramon Valley
Boulevard in the eastern parts of Danville.
Figure 6 shows land use designations
in Danville. Downtown Danville is the
concentration of mixed-use development
to the west of I-680. Downtown Danville’s
restaurants, shops, and civic spaces,
including the Town’s theater, community
center, and library, make it a key destination
for Town residents and visitors. Many
recreational bicyclists, including large group
road rides as well as people bicycling on the
Iron Horse Trail, will stop in one of downtown
Danville’s cafes or restaurants for a snack
or meal. Outdoor seating at restaurants
and plazas helps to bring the downtown
streetscape to life. Another large draw to
downtown is the Danville Farmers’ Market
(located at the Railroad Avenue Municipal
Lot) which is open every Saturday throughout
the year (9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.).
The Town has a considerable amount of land
dedicated to parks and open space within
the town limits. There are over 20 local
and regional parks and recreation areas in
Danville. This town amenity is another major
draw to Danville residents and visitors alike.
1 US Census Reporter (2018). ACS 5-Year Estimates.
The Iron Horse Trail is one of the region’s
most well-known active transportation
corridors creating strong north-south
bicycle connectivity through Downtown
Danville. The trail serves as a major regional
connector, providing a 32-mile biking and
walking corridor between Pleasanton and
Concord. The trail follows the Southern
Pacific Railroad right-of-way that was
abandoned in 1978 and provides connections
from Danville north to Alamo, Walnut Creek,
Pleasant Hill and Concord, and south to San
Ramon and Pleasanton. The trail connects
Concord, Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek,
Alamo, and San Ramon, passing through
commercial, residential, and rural areas along
the way. It also serves as a connector to the
Pleasant Hill and Dublin BART stations
which are located only a few blocks from the
trail.
Mount Diablo State Park, located just
outside town limits, is a well-known regional
destination for hikers, equestrians, cyclists,
and campers. According to official figures,
the Park draws more than 350,000 visitors
each year to explore the park and take in the
spectacular view.2 Bicyclists can be seen year-
round along its roads and trails, many hoping
to summit the almost 4,000 feet of elevation.
Within Danville, there are a number of
activity generators that create or could create
increased demand for bicycling. These
include:

Demographics
Danville is home to 44,117 residents.4 The
Association of Bay Area Governments
(ABAG) estimates that the population of
Danville will grow to 47,400 by 2040.5 If this
ABAG estimate holds, Danville’s population
will grow by 11% by the year 2040. This is
a slower growth rate than the projection
for Contra Costa County at large, which is
forecasted to grow to 1.4 million people in
2040, a 32% increase above 2010 levels.6
Table 5 breaks down the population of
Danville by race or ethnicity. The majority of
residents in Danville (73%) identify as white
alone and English is the most commonly
spoken language in Danville.

COMMUTE MODES AND WORK TRAVEL PATTERNS
A small percentage of people in Danville
commute to work by bicycle. Based on
transportation data from 2019 American
Community Survey 5-year Estimates, just
0.1% of Danville residents bicycle to work (see
Table 6). This represents approximately 25
daily work-based bicycle trips. It is important
to note that Census data does not account for
commuters using multiple modes of travel to
and from work. For example, a commuter that
may bicycle to a transit stop could be counted
as a transit trip.

Each day, Danville experiences a net outflow
of workers, meaning more residents work
outside the Town. Just 1,347 workers who
live in Danville are employed in Danville.11
According to 2017 Census data, 18,259
workers who live in Danville travel to work
outside of the town limits (Figure 8, see next
page). Most of these workers (55%) stay in
Contra Costa County, traveling to places like
San Ramon, Concord, and Walnut Creek. The
remaining workers who commute outside the
town limits primarily travel to Pleasanton,
Oakland and San Francisco.

Figure 8: Employment Inflow/Outflow for Danville and Employment Destinations
Figure 9 on the following page shows how
the percentages of people who drive alone to
work varies throughout Danville, with higher
rates of driving alone to work indicated by
lighter shades of purple and lower rates of
driving alone to work indicated by darker
shades of purple. The area of town with the
fewest people driving alone to work is located
east of I-680 between El Cerro Boulevard and
Sycamore Valley Road. The areas of town east
of Camino Tassajara Boulevard have some
of the highest rates of driving alone to work.
Higher rates of driving alone to work can
correspond with higher levels of greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions and vehicle miles
traveled (VMT).
Travel distance to work is one important factor
that determines the most viable, effective
transportation modes for people as they
commute to work. Thirty-nine percent of all
workers in Danville travel less than 10 miles
to work (Figure 10).12 Northwest, north, south,
and southeast are the primary directions of
travel for workers commuting from Danville.
Over 10,000 people commute into Danville
every day. As shown in Figure 1113, most jobs
in Danville are concentrated in Downtown
along the I-680 corridor; however, there are
concentrations of employment along Camino
Tassajara and near San Ramon to the south.

TRAFFIC VOLUMES
Average daily weekday traffic volumes
throughout Danville reveal trends along
frequently used roadways. Sycamore Valley
Road, Camino Tassajara Road, Blackhawk
Road, Diablo Road, and San Ramon Valley
Boulevard remain the corridors with the
highest daily traffic volumes within town
limits and reported modest increases
(averaging 11%) between 2010 and 2017 based
on the latest data available (see Figure 12).14
All corridors serve as major connectors to
and from I-680 which remains the main
connection to jobs and activity centers
outside town limits. Other roadways did
not experience significant changes and
remained with relatively low traffic volumes

COLLISION ANALYSIS
To understand problem areas of the Town
with high incidence of bicycle collisions, a
collision analysis was undertaken utilizing
data from 2015-2020. Several patterns
emerged:
Bicycle-related collisions occurred at a higher
rate along higher speed roadways and at
intersections.
• Areas with commercial and mixed-use
land use designations also experienced
higher rates of collisions compared to
other land use categories.
• Six intersection locations emerged as key
areas where multiple bicycle collisions
occurred (Table 7).

Other key findings included:
• There were 84 reported bicycle-related
collisions during the study period from
2015-2020.
• Camino Tassajara experienced more
collisions than any other roadway with 10
total reported incidents.
• One bicycle fatality occurred at the
intersection of San Ramon Valley
Boulevard at Fountain Springs.
• 77% of bicycle-related collisions occurred
on arterial roadways.
• 80% of bicycle-related collisions occurred
on a roadway with an existing bicycle
facility.
As noted in Figure 14, most collisions
occur between the hours of noon to 5 pm,
with a peak around noon on weekends
and weekdays. Over 40% of all collisions
were caused by unsafe motorists behaviors
including improper turns (17%), auto righ-of-
way violations (14%), and unsafe speeds (11%)
(Figure 15).
As noted in Figure 16, one out of four bicycle
related collisions were broadside collisions,
which occur when the side of one vehicle
(or bicyclist) is impacted by the front or
rear of another vehicle. Other notable types
of collisions included sideswipes (6%) and
hitting other objects on the roadway (7%).
Furthermore, as shown in Figure 17, more
than one in 10 injuries occurring in Danville’s
streets result in severe injury (10%) or fatality
(2%).
Figure 18 on the following page shows
the spatial distribution of bicycle-related
collisions within Danville. Clusters appear
within the downtown areas, along Camino
Tassajara, Diablo Road, and at a number of
Iron Horse Trail intersections. These areas
will be important to consider during the
recommendations phase of the bicycle plan,
as modifications to bicycle facilities and
design changes may decrease collision risk.

A plan review was conducted to gain a better
understanding of the existing conditions
in Danville and identify gaps in existing
policies and programs. The review reveals a
history of support for active transportation
and a proactive stance from the Town of
Danville in planning for various roadway
users. High-level summary findings from
select documents are below. Please refer
to the Appendix Plan Review for more
details about these plans and other relevant
planning documents in the Town. Relevant
bicycle facility recommendations from the
plan review are identified in the Future
Bicycle Facility Development section of this
memo.
2030 TOWN OF DANVILLE GENERAL PLAN – CHAPTER 4 “MOBILITY”
Year published: 2013
The 2030 Town of Danville General Plan
Chapter 4 “Mobility” establishes goals
related to multi-modal circulation, complete
streets, mobility, and neighborhood
quality throughout Danville. This chapter
also discusses existing conditions of the
transportation system in Danville and the
travel patterns of Danville residents. It is
important that the Danville Bicycle Plan
reflects the vision and goals established in
the General Plan.
The General Plan’s Mobility vision calls for
a “multimodal transportation system that
connects residents to local and regional
destinations via freeways, roadways, trails,
and public transportation… [that] balance[s]
the needs of all modes of travel on its road
network by providing for pedestrian and
bicycle connectivity, transit accessibility, and
smooth vehicular flow.”
Numerous policies support bicycle
transportation in Danville, including:
Policy 11.06: Create a connected circulation
system in which it becomes easier to walk or
bicycle from one point in Danville to another.
•Policy 12.07: Close gaps in the
Town’s bicycle and pedestrian trail
system in order to create a more fully
connected, logical, comprehensive
system of facilities for non-motorized
transportation.
•Policy 12.08: Ensure the provision of
adequate bicycle support facilities, such
as bicycle parking, at all major bicycle
usage locations.
TOWN OF DANVILLE PARKS, RECREATION, AND ARTS STRATEGIC PLAN
Year published: 2017
The Town of Danville Parks, Recreation, and
Arts Strategic Plan establishes a long-range
vision and course of action for creating and
sustaining a high quality, interconnected
system of parks, recreation and arts facilities,
services and programs. Throughout
the planning process, members of the
community identified active transportation
projects and an expanded in-town trail
network as a priority project for Danville.
The Town of Danville’s Parks, Recreation,
and Art Strategic Plan recommends the
development of a bicycle wayfinding
program, the provision of end-of-trip bicycle
facilities around town, and specific locations
for recommended end-of-trip facilities. These
locations are listed in the “Future Bicycle
Facility Development” section of this memo.
The Danville Bicycle Plan can reinforce and
build upon the recommendations in the
Parks, Recreation, and Art Strategic Plan.

Other relevant goals in this plan include:
• Active Transportation Trail and
Pathways: Connect Town parks and
facilities through a system of on-street
and off-street trails, paths, and bike lanes
serving active transportation users and
providing a variety of experiences
• Recreation for All: Provide recreation
opportunities for all Danville residents
and visitors of all age groups and
abilities. The Town will facilitate social
connections, human development, and
lifelong learning by building community
among residents at different stages of
life.
TOWN OF DANVILLE BICYCLE PARKING STUDY
Year published: 2011
Danville’s bicycle parking study investigated
downtown parking needs and recommended
the quantities, types, and locations of bicycle
racks throughout town to accommodate
the need and demand for bicycle parking
in Danville. At the time of the study,
Downtown Danville had capacity for 121
bicycles at formal parking locations. In
addition to establishing guidelines for bicycle
parking design, the Bicycle Parking Study
recommended increasing downtown bicycle
parking capacity from 121 bicycles to 215
bicycles.
CONTRA COSTA COUNTYWIDE BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN PLAN
Year published: 2017
The Contra Costa Countywide Bicycle and
Pedestrian Plan establishes goals, actions,
and infrastructure recommendations to
increase opportunities for safe, comfortable
bicycling and walking throughout the county.
The Plan envisions that “People of all ages
and abilities, and in all neighborhoods and
districts in Contra Costa, can walk and
bicycle safely, comfortably, and directly to
their chosen destinations thereby improving
health, reducing emissions of greenhouse
gases, and making our transportation system
more sustainable.”
The Plan makes recommendations for a
countywide low-stress bicycle network that
includes key streets in Danville, including
Danville Boulevard, Stone Valley Road,
Blackhawk Road, and Camino Tassajara.
The Plan also recommends programs
to support bicycling throughout Contra
Costa County. If Danville’s Bicycle Master
Plan Recommendations reinforce the
recommendations in the Contra Costa
Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan, it
may increase their competitivity in regional
grant funding processes.
FUTURE BICYCLE FACILITY DEVELOPMENT
Previous planning documents have
recommended various bicycle facilities
in Danville. Some of the most recent and
relevant bicycle projects are listed on the
next page. Additional relevant projects
and infrastructure recommendations can
be found in the Appendix Plan Review
document. Please note that recommended
projects in the City of San Ramon have been
included as inter-jurisdictional coordination
will be required to create seamless
connections between jurisdictions.

POLICIES SUPPORTING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF BICYCLE FACILITIES
Local Bicycle-Related Policy
The Town of Danville does not have any
specific policy requirements for new
developments related to bicycle parking
provision or other bicycle facilities in
the municipal code. However, the Town’s
Complete Streets Policy mandates the
consideration and review of bicycle
and pedestrian improvements as part
of Development projects, as deemed
appropriate.

Complete Streets (AB135)
Assembly Bill 135, also known as the
Complete Streets Act, was signed into
California law in 2008. AB135 requires
that all cities and all counties consider all
users of city, town, and county owner roads
when they are updating their transportation
plans. By aligning the Danville Bike Plan
recommendations with principles set forth in
AB135, Danville will be eligible for funding
related to bicycle improvements along its
roadways.
Assembly Bill 32 (AB32)
Assembly Bill 32 was passed in 2006
requiring the state of California to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by
2020. This legislation directs the California
Air Resources Board to outline policies
that will meet this target in a Scoping Plan
that is updated every five years.15 The full
implementation of AB 32 will help mitigate
risks associated with climate change, while
improving energy efficiency, expanding the
use of renewable energy resources, cleaner
transportation, and reducing waste. The
recommendations developed as part of the
Danville Bike Plan will be complementary of
all the goals set forth in AB 32.
Senate Bill 375 (SB375)
SB375 sets regional targets for greenhouse
gas (GHG) reductions around California.
SB375 also includes incentives to create
walkable and attractive communities
and to revitalize existing communities.
Under SB375, each Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPO) is responsible for
establishing a “Sustainable Communities
Strategy” that outlines how the region could
grow to meet its projected transportation
and regional housing needs while achieving

GHG reduction goals.16 Targets for Danville
were established by the Metropolitan
Transportation Commission, the Bay Area’s
MPO committing the Bay Area region,
including Danville, to a 15 percent reduction
in GHGs by 2035. The legislation also allows
developers to streamline environmental
reviews under CEQA if they build projects
consistent with the new sustainable
communities’ strategies.
Senate Bill 743 (SB743)
SB743 mandates a shift in how the traffic
impacts of development and transportation
projects are to be evaluated and mitigated
16 California Air Resources Board (2020). “What are Sustainable Communities Strategies?” https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/our-work/programs/sustainable-communities-program/what-are-sustainable-communities-strategies
in California. To help achieve the State of
California’s climate policy and sustainability
goals, SB743 eliminates traffic delay as an
environmental impact under California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and
instead, requires an assessment of vehicle
miles traveled (VMT). Assessing and
mitigating VMT as part of development and
transportation projects has the potential to
increase transit options, facilitate increases
in walking and biking through construction
of new facilities, and support transportation
demand management programs.

EXISTING BICYCLE NETWORK
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) designates four classes of bicycle
facilities: Class I shared use paths, Class II bicycle lanes, Class III bicycle routes, and Class
IV separated bikeways. Table 8 and Figure 19 document all existing bicycle facilities within
the Town and provide an explanation about each facility type.17 As a complement, Figure 20
visualizes the different bicycle facility types by level of separation.
Table 8: Existing Bikeways and Mileage by Type (by lane miles)
Facility Type Lane Mileage
Class I Shared-Use Paths
Shared-use paths are bicycle facilities that are completely separated from
the street. They allow two-way travel by people bicycling and walking,
as well as other non-motorized or e-powered users like skateboards or
scooters. Class I facilities are among the most comfortable facilities for
children and inexperienced riders as there are few potential conflicts
between people bicycling and people driving.
7.6
Class II Bicycle Lanes
Bicycle lanes are striped preferential lanes on the roadway for one-way
bicycle travel. Some bicycle lanes include a striped buffer on one or both
sides to increase separation from the traffic lane or from parked cars. When
this striped buffer is included in the design, the facility is known as a Class
IIB Buffered Bicycle Lane.
29.8
Class III Bicycle Routes
Bicycle routes are signed where people bicycling share a travel lane with
people driving. Because they are shared facilities, bicycle routes are most
appropriate for low-speed and low-volume streets. Some Class III bicycle
routes include shared lane markings or “sharrows” that recommend proper
bicycle positioning in the center of the travel lane and alert drivers that
people biking may be present.
21.5
Class IIIB Bicycle Boulevards
Bicycle boulevards are low-traffic, local streets where people biking have
priority but share roadway space with motor vehicles. Shared roadway
bicycle markings on the pavement as well as traffic calming features such
as speed humps and traffic diverters keep these streets more comfortable
for people biking.
--
Class IV Separated Bikeways
Separated bikeways are on-street bicycle facilities that are physically
separated from motor vehicle traffic by a vertical element or barrier, such
as a curb, bollards, or vehicle parking aisle. They can allow for one-or two-
way travel on one or both sides of the roadway.

BIKE SUPPORTIVE FACILITIES
Bicycle travel requires a network of
supportive amenities to provide bike storage
and maintenance options. Among the
necessary supports for bicycle transportation,
bike parking stands out for being both vital
and easy. Short-term parking is designed to
meet the needs of people visiting businesses
and institutions, and others with similar
needs—typically lasting up to two hours.
Short-term users may be infrequent visitors to
a location, so the parking installation needs
to be readily visible and self-explanatory.
Long-term parking is designed to meet the
needs of employees, residents, public transit
users, and others with similar needs. These
users typically park either at home or at a
routine destination such as a workplace. They
often leave their bicycles unmonitored for a
period of several hours or longer. The Town
of Danville recognized this in the 2011 Town
of Danville Bicycle Parking Study and other
recent planning documents. Through this
project, the town conducted an inventory of
existing end-of trip facilities including bike
parking. The study’s findings noted that
in 2011, there was capacity for 121 bicycles
at formal parking locations in downtown
Danville. Those locations are shown below
in Figure 21. An additional 94 locations
are identified and recommended for bicycle
parking facilities in the Bicycle Parking
Study.
An additional initiative supporting bicycling
throughout town has been the installation
of Smart Cycle bicycle detection devices
throughout town. Bicycle detection is used at
actuated signals to alert the signal controller
of bicycle crossing demand on a particular
approach. Bicycle detection occurs either
through the use of push-buttons or by
automated means (e.g., in-pavement loops,
video, microwave). There are benefits to
installing bicycle detectors at intersections
including:
•Improving trip efficiency by reducing
delay for bicycle travel.
•Increasing convenience and safety
of bicycling and helping to establish
bicycling as a legitimate mode of
transportation on streets.
•Discouraging red light running by
people biking without causing excessive
delay to motorists.
•Providing prolonged “green phases” to
provide adequate time for people biking
to clear the intersection.
The Town of Danville also installed
SmartCycle bicycle detection devices in a
number of intersections throughout town.
These video camera systems guarantee that
people bicycling are detected at intersections
to trigger traffic signal cycles, ensure that
people biking have enough time to cross
intersections, improve traffic flow, and can
automate bicycle counts. Figure 21 includes
the locations with available bicycle detectors.

TRANSIT RIDERSHIP
Contra Costa County Connection currently
operates two routes through Danville. Bus
Route 21/321 runs between the Walnut
Creek BART Station and San Ramon. The
bus travels through Downtown Danville
along Danville Boulevard, Railroad Avenue,
and San Ramon Valley Boulevard before
continuing to the City of San Ramon along
Camino Ramon. County Connection Bus
Route 95x runs express service between the
Walnut Creek BART Station and San Ramon,
making a single stop at the Danville Park &
Ride Lot near the junction of Sycamore Valley
Road and I-680. Route 92x (ACE Express)
provides service to the Pleasanton ACE Train
Station. The Alamo Creek Shuttle is a free
service that runs along Camino Tassajara,
connecting Alamo Creek, a development on
the far eastern side of Danville to the Walnut
Creek BART Station.
Contra Costa County Connection Buses are
equipped with racks that hold two bicycles.
Patrons are responsible for loading and
unloading their own bicycles and children
age 12 and younger must be accompanied by
an adult if they are using the bicycle racks on
the bus according to the existing “bikes on
buses” guidelines.19
Figure 22 and Figure 23 on the following
pages denote weekday boardings and
alightings at transit stops in Danville. The
highest number of boardings and alightings
are experienced at Danville Park & Ride
Station. Other stops experiencing relatively
higher boardings or alightings include those
following the 21/321, 92x and 95x routes.
Stops along the Alamo Creek Shuttle route
have lower rates of boarding and alighting.

TRANSIT AND OTHER FACILITIES
BIKESHARE AND OTHER MICRO-MOBILITY PROGRAMS
Currently, there are no private companies
operating bike or e-scooter share systems within
the town of Danville. The Town is exploring the
development of a partnership with the Contra
Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) and
City of San Ramon that would provide micro-
mobility services in the San Ramon Valley as
part of CCTA’s Mobility on Demand (“MOD”)
pilot project funded in part through the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA).
PROGRAMS AND LOCAL ADVOCACY
BICYCLE PROGRAMS
The Town of Danville participates in Contra
Costa County’s annual Bike to Work Day in
May. Danville also has an active partnership
with the San Ramon Valley Street Smarts
Program, a traffic safety education program for
school children in the San Ramon Valley. Other
community partners associated with Street
Smarts include Contra Costa County, the City
of San Ramon, the San Ramon Valley Unified
School District, and the San Ramon Valley Fire
Protection District.20 Finally, the Town’s Parks,
Recreation, and Arts Strategic Plan recently
recommended that Danville implements an
Open Streets or Ciclovia-style event.
LOCAL AND REGIONAL ADVOCACY
There are three bicycle advocacy groups that
represent Danville: Bike East Bay is a regional
advocacy organization that represents the
needs of people biking in Danville and other
jurisdictions in Contra Costa and Alameda
County. Bike Danville is the town’s bicycle

advocacy organization. Both organizations
conduct educational programming,
community outreach, advocate for safer
bicycling infrastructure, and organize social
or recreational events related to bicycling. Mt.
Diablo Cyclists focuses on improving bicyclist
safety on the roads both on and around Mt.
Diablo.
The Contra Costa County Bicycle and
Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC)
represents the needs and concerns of people
biking in Danville and throughout the county as
they relate to regional transportation planning
efforts, upcoming projects, and other issues.
Several clubs and organizations organize social
and recreational bicycle rides in and around
Danville. The Valley Spokesmen Bicycle Club
is a well-established recreational bicycling
club that organizes regular rides in Danville
and around the county. The Valley Spokesmen
also organize recreational rides specifically for
women, although everyone is welcome at all
Valley Spokesmen events.21 Danville Bikes, a
bicycle shop in town, also organizes regular
recreational bicycle rides. Students in the area
ride mountain bikes together and compete in
mountain bike races through the San Ramon
Valley and Monte Vista Mountain Bike Clubs.
WEAKNESSES AND STRENGTHS
Danville’s bicycle infrastructure is marked by
the following streghths and weaknesses:
Strengths
• Regionality: The Town of Danville has
access to important regional trails and
bicycling destinations including the Iron
Horse Trail and Mt. Diablo. Danville
currently has approximately 59 miles of
bicycle facilities.
21 Valley Spokesmen Bicycle Club. https://www.valleyspokesmen.org/
• Interest and Investment: The Town has
firmly committed to investing in planning
efforts and capital projects to improve the
existing bicycle network. There is a strong
regional culture of recreational bicycle
ridership and community support for
improved bicycle and trail facilities.
• Advocacy: There are a number of
established and nascent advocacy groups
that operate/advocate within the Town of
Danville for the improvement of bicycle
safety and infrastructure.
Weaknesses
• Modeshare Issues: Very few people
currently commute to work by bicycle and
much of Danville’s workforce commutes
outside of town daily.
• Safety Issues: There were 84 reported
collisions involving people biking from
2015-2020, including 1 fatal collision.
• Comfort Issues: There is a limited
availability of separated bicycle facilities
to serve the need for all types of bicyclists.
With the exception of the Iron Horse
Trail, there are limited Class I and Class
IV bicycle facilities.. These facilities have
been demonstrated to be the most safe
and comfortable for all users. There is
also a need for more bicycle parking and
supportive facilities throughout town.
• Connectivity Issues: There is a need for
improved east-west connectivity along low-
stress roads in the existing bicycle network.

Danville’s proposed network provides
increased connectivity between destinations
through low-stress bicycle facilities that are
comfortable for all ages and abilities. The
proposed improvements include shared-use
paths (Class I), bicycle lanes (Class II) and
buffered bike lanes (Class IIB), bicycle routes
(Class III), bicycle boulevards (Class IIIB)
and unpaved trails. The proposed network
focuses on providing increased connectivity
and safety with particular attention to areas
surrounding schools and the Iron Horse Trail
which provides low-stress connectivity to
BART and other regional destinations. Key
crosstown low-stress connections include
potential separated facilities along, Sycamore
Valley Road, Camino Tassajara, and San
Ramon Valley Boulevard.

SPOT IMPROVEMENTS
In addition to providing safer and more
connected bikeway corridors, a well-
functioning bicycle network addresses
localized spot issues that would otherwise
present network barriers. Recommended spot
improvements include:
• Improvements to intersections that
do not comfortably facilitate travel by
bicycle
• Improved access to off-street Class I
Shared-Use Paths including the Iron
Horse Trail
This plan includes 48 spot improvement
recommendations in Danville. Developed
alongside the Town’s network of linear
bicycle improvements, the proposed spot
treatments address safety concerns in areas
with a history of bicycle collisions, and reflect
public feedback obtained as part of this master
planning process. Table 10 and Figure 25
provide an overview of the proposed spot
improvements along Danville’s network. Key
focus areas include crossing locations along
the Iron Horse Trail, protected intersections
on crosstown bikeway connections such as
Camino Tassajara, and downtown connectivity.
Please note that specific spot improvement
recommendations and design for each of the
proposed locations will require case-by-case
development and engineering review.
A summary of general spot improvements is
provided after the maps.

Raised Crossings with Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs)
The combination of an elevated trail crossing
and a Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon
(RRFB) can improve the visibility of active
transportation users crossing the street.
Raised crosswalks at intersections can
eliminate grade changes from the bicycle
path and give active transportation users
greater visibility as they cross the street.
Installation of raised crosswalks have been
shown to reduce pedestrian-vehicle collisions
by up to 46 percent (Elvik and Vaa 2004).
Raised crosswalks also functions as speed
tables, and encourage motorists to slow
down (Figure 25). As such, they should be
used only in cases where a special emphasis
on active transportation users is desired.
Raised crosswalks are typically implemented
on low-speed streets, bike boulevards and
other areas of very high pedestrian activity.
Shown in Figure 26, RRFBs are a type of
active warning beacon used at unsignalized
crossings. They are designed to increase
motor vehicle yielding compliance by
alerting drivers through a flashing light
when someone (i.e., bicyclist or pedestrian)
is using the crossing, therefore giving
further advanced warning to cars. RRFBs are
typically activated by active transportation
users manually with a push button, or can be
actuated automatically with passive detection
systems.

Bike Boxes
Bike boxes are marked green paint areas
located at the head of a traffic lane at a
signalized intersection. The green box
provides bicyclists with a visible way to get
ahead of queuing traffic during the red signal
phase (Figure 29). This can help bicyclists
position themselves to turn left instead of
mixing with traffic to merge across from
bicycle lane. Figure 28 provides an overview
of the typical application of bike box.
Increased Lighting
Increased lighting helps improve visibility
of people biking at intersections. Lighting
improvements can also improve perceived
safety of users crossing intersections and
create a more pleasant biking experience at
night.

Bicycle Box
A bicycle box is an experimental treatment, designed to provide bicyclists with a safe and
visible space to get in front of queuing traffic during the red signal phase. Motor vehicles
must queue behind the white stop line at the rear of the bike box. On a green signal, all
bicyclists can quickly clear the intersection. This treatment is currently under experiment,
and has not been approved by Caltrans.

Bicycle Intersection Crossings
Bicycle intersection crossings are pavement
markings that track through an intersection.
The markings guide bicyclists on a safe and
direct path through the intersection and
provide a clear boundary between the paths
people biking, and people driving in the
adjacent travel lane. Typical application of
bike intersection crossings include: streets
with conventional, buffered, or separated
bike lanes; streets with high volumes
of adjacent traffic; and, where potential
conflicts exist between through bicyclist and
adjacent traffic. Figure 31 shows an existing
application of the proposed treatment along
Diablo Road. Intersection markings should be
the same width and in line with the leading
bicycle facility. Implementation may include
dotted lane line extensions (Option A on
Figure 30) or dotted white lines with solid, or
dashed green within the same extents as the
dotted line itself (Option B on Figure 30).

Protected Intersections
A protected intersection (see Figure 34) is
a design treatment intended to minimize
potential conflicts between people walking,
bicycling, and driving at intersections.
Protected intersections provide physical
separation for walkers and bikers from
moving cars. Vertical elements such as
flexible posts or concrete islands work to
reduce stressful interactions with cars. The
design maintains a physical separation
within the intersection to define the turning
paths of motor vehicles, slow vehicle turning
speed, and offer a comfortable place for
people bicycling to wait at a red signal.

QuickBuild Projects • Some infrastructure components like curb extensions and medians can be implemented faster in the short- to medium-term using quick build strategies and materials. Quick Build projects typically include less expensive materials such as paint, thermoplastic, and
bollards/delineators (or other
sturdy but removable materials).
These improvements share many
of the same safety benefits of their
permanent counterparts, but can be
implemented faster and cheaper,
allowing Danville to be more

DANVILLE BICYCLE MASTER PLAN | SPRING 2021
71
This chapter summarizes the strategy for implementing the projects
and programs contained in Chapter 4 and Chapter 5. It also provides
an overview of the metrics and methodology used to weigh projects
to determine the implementation timeline. Finally, a summary of cost
estimates and potential funding sources are included.
PROJECT PRIORITIZATION
The approach to enhancing and expanding
Danville’s bicycle network must consider
what is realistic given historic and
anticipated funding, while also providing
the Town with flexibility to respond to
changing conditions and opportunities that
may arise. The prioritization of proposed
projects helps formulate a strategic list to
guide project implementation. Prioritization
results are flexible concepts that serve as
guidelines. It is recommended that the
Town re-evaluate the proposed projects
and rankings every five years. Over time as
development occurs or other changes to land
uses and Danville’s transportation network
take place, this framework can be used to
re-evaluate remaining projects and continue
pursuing implementation of the Plan. For
example, a low priority spot improvement
may be completed ahead of a high priority
corridor project due to immediate funding
opportunities as part of a redevelopment
or larger project. Similarly, a high priority
project may require additional study and
funding making it take longer to implement.
METHODOLOGY
Recommended projects were evaluated
using five criteria that support the vision and
goals of the plan. Each evaluation criteria
was given a normalized score as listed in the
table below: projects receiving higher points
were ranked higher based on each evaluation
criteria. The scores were then combined,
and each corridor and spot improvement
was assigned a Quantitative Corridor Score
ranging from 0–20, with 20 being the best.
Table 16 outlines criteria for each of the
prioritization score inputs, with more details
about each input below. Following score
calculations, improvements were sorted into
high, medium, and low priority categories
based on the distribution of scores. Final
scores can be found in Appendix 6.DR

A description of the five criteria considered
for this methodology is included below.
SAFETY
Safety related scores account for the history
of bicycle-related collisions (2015-2020)
within a 250-foot buffer of a proposed
improvement. Projects with a higher number
of bicycle-related collisions suggest the need
for infrastructure improvements. To this end,
projects within 250 feet of a bicycle-related
fatality received a total of 6 points. Similarly,
projects within 250 feet of a bicycle related
serious injury, received 4 points. Finally,
projects within 250 feet of a bicycle-related
collision received 2 points. Using point data
from the collision analysis (see existing
conditions section) of this Plan, linear
bikeway projects and spot improvements
that met this criterion were identified using
the Spatial Selection tool in GIS. Proposed
projects received a maximum of 6 points
based on their impact on improving safety.
CONNECTIVITY TO DESTINATIONS
Projects that provide increased and more
comfortable connections to downtown,
schools, and the Iron Horse Trail received
connectivity points. Using the Spatial
Selection tool, linear and spot improvement
projects connecting to these destinations
were identified. Connectivity points were
granted to projects located within 1,000 feet
of said destinations. Projects received points
for providing connectivity to downtown (2
pts), schools (2 pts) and the Iron Horse Trail
(2 pts) for a maximum connectivity scoring
of 6.
COMFORT
Projects providing the most comfort to
users of all ages and abilities received up
to 3 points. Because of the separation from
motorists provided, Class I shared-use paths,
and Class IIB buffered bicycle lanes as well
as any spot improvements connecting to
these facilities received the highest scores.
Other projects including Class II bicycle
lanes, Class III bicycle routes, and Class IIIB
bike boulevards and their associated spot
improvements received 1 point as they did
not meet the needs of all users. Proposed
projects received a maximum of 3 points
based on their impact on user comfort.
PUBLIC SUPPORT
This category awarded points to projects
addressing community concerns and
needs based on feedback received through
the project’s online interactive web map.
Public comment data was downloaded
from the interactive map and converted to a
geodatabase. Using the Spatial Selection tool
in ARCGIS, the project team identified linear
bikeway projects and spot improvements
receiving favorable comments in the online
interactive map. A net number of positive
comments was calculated by subtracting
total ‘Dislikes’ from ‘Likes’ for each project.
Using this net positive value, the projects
were then grouped based on the distribution
of values. For linear improvements, projects
with 50 or more net positive comments
received 3 points, projects with 27-49
comments received 2 points, projects with
1-26 comments received 1 point, and projects
with no net positive comments received 0
points. For spot improvements, projects with
30 or more net positive comments received
3 points, projects with 20-29 comments
received 2 points, projects with 6-19
comments received 1 point, and projects with
no net positive comments received 0 points.

FEASIBILITY
Projects with opportunities for quick
implementation based on cost estimates and
Town staff feedback received a feasibility
score of 1. Projects with medium cost
estimates received 0.5 points. Projects
requiring higher planning and engineering
involvement and increased funding, received
a score of 0.
TOTAL SCORE
Following the analysis, each project received
a final combined prioritization score
that included the sum of all criteria, for a
maximum possible score of 20 points. Final
scores for the prioritization criteria can be
found in Appendix 6.
PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
To focus the Town’s resources and plan
the implementation of improvements for
the next five years, the Proposed Bicycle
Network was further analyzed to prioritize
the projects for implementation. Table 17 and
Table 18 include the “Top Tier” projects for
implementation. The maximum prioritization
scoring received was 14.5 for corridor
improvements and 12.5 for intersection
improvements. For a complete project list

COST ESTIMATES
The generalized cost estimates (see Table
19 and Table 20) prepared for this plan are
based on the basic understanding of certain
roadway infrastructure elements that would
need to be added, removed, and/or modified
to implement the proposed bike facility
improvement. For example, the installation
of new pavement markings and signing are
relatively easily installed if other existing
infrastructure isn’t impacted; those costs are
based on an estimate of bike lane markings
and sign placement of approximately 20 per
mile on each side of the street. However,
improvements that require moving existing
street edges can impact the removal and
replacement of curb / gutter, drainage
infrastructure, utilities, and landscaping/
trees. These types of improvements may also
require the purchase of additional right-of-
way or establishment of an easement – all of
which can increase the cost of a bike facility
improvement substantially.
Costs do not include estimates for on-going
maintenance such as sweeping which may
add to the cost of implementation. Until a
specific street is identified for a particular
improvement, costs for new infrastructure
can only be estimated at a general level.
Considering these factors, the following
tables summarize the planning level cost
ranges for the project types.

FUNDING
Identifying and securing funding for the
bicycle projects proposed in this Plan is
crucial to achieving its goals and objectives.
A variety of sources exist to fund the
proposed bicycle infrastructure projects and
programs. While federal grant programs
represent a good source of funding for
the construction of new facilities and
implementation of programs, local and
regional funding sources can be used for
construction and/or maintenance of bicycle
improvements. The following section outlines
potential sources for funding Danville’s
proposed bikeway projects.
LOCAL AND REGIONAL
Contra Costa Measure J – Contra Costa Transportation Authority
Measure J provides funding for countywide
and local transportation projects and
programs through the year 2034. Eligible
improvements include pedestrian, bicycle,
and trail facilities, local streets and road
maintenance, and transportation for livable
communities.
Transportation Fund for Clean Air, County Program Manager Fund – Contra Costa Transportation Authority
The Transportation Fund for Clean Air funds
bicycle facilities including paths, lanes,
routes, lockers, and racks.
511 Contra Costa Bike Rack and Locker Program – 511 Contra Costa
511 Contra Costa is a countywide program
that strives to reduce traffic congestions
and improve air quality by providing the
public with resources and tools that promote
mobility options beyond driving alone.
Eligible projects include bicycle parking
racks and lockers.
One Bay Area Grant - Contra Costa Transportation Authority
The One Bay Area grant program (OBAG)
emphasizes funding for projects within
Priority Development Areas (PDAs) in the
region that are in-line with housing and land
use goals. Projects that are within or provide
access to these PDAs could qualify for OBAG
grants.
Transportation Development Act Article 3 - Contra Costa Transportation Authority
Transportation Development Act Article
3 (TDA 3) provides funding annually for
bicycle and pedestrian projects. Two percent
of TDA 3 funds collected within the county
are used for TDA 3 projects. MTC policies
require that all projects be reviewed by a
BPAC or similar body before approval.
Transportation for Livable Communities Program – Metropolitan Transportation Commission
Designed to support community-based
transportation projects that bring “new
vibrancy” to downtown areas, commercial
cores, neighborhoods, and transit corridors.
The projects resulting from these grants
are intended to provide for a range of
transportation choices including bicycling,
should support connections between
transportation and land use, and should be
developed through an inclusive community
planning process.

Development, or BUILD Transportation
Discretionary Grant program, provides a
unique opportunity for the DOT to invest
in road, rail, transit and port projects that
promise to achieve national objectives.
Previously known as Transportation
Investment Generating Economic Recovery,
or TIGER Discretionary Grants, Congress
has dedicated nearly $8.9 billion for
twelve rounds of National Infrastructure
Investments to fund projects that have a
significant local or regional impact.
Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Grants
Transit grants such as Urbanized Area
Formula and Capital Investment can be
used for improving bicycle access to transit
facilities.
Safe Routes to School (SRTS)
Grants can be used for bicycle education
programs and projects that provide
connections and/or improve the safety along
routes to K-8 schools.

Date Published March 2013
Link https://www.danville.ca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/1026/2030-General-Plan-PDF?bidId=
Overview The 2030 Town of Danville General Plan Chapter 4 “Mobility” establishes goals related to
multi-modal circulation, complete streets, mobility, and neighborhood quality throughout
Danville. This chapter also discusses existing conditions of the transportation system in
Danville and the travel patterns of Danville residents.
Vision Statement The Town of Danville is served by a multi-modal transportation system that connects
residents to local and regional destinations via freeways, roadways, trails, and public
transportation. The Town strives to balance the needs of all modes of travel on its road
network by providing for pedestrian and bicycle connectivity, transit accessibility, and
smooth vehicular flow. Danville’s roads are complemented by attractive and well-
maintained streetscapes, miles of bicycle lanes and trails, crosswalks, sidewalks, and traffic
calming features.
Relevant Goals
and Policies
• Danville will consider alternatives to Level of Service as the operational standard
for traffic operations. Even where LOS D remains the standard, the Town will
consider service to bicyclists, pedestrians, and transit users when new
development is evaluated and when measures to mitigate impacts on traffic are
developed.
• Goal 11: Provide a safe, efficient multi-modal circulation system.
• Policy 11.06: Create a connected circulation system in which it becomes easier
to walk or bicycle from one point in Danville to another.
• Goal 12: Create walkable neighborhoods and shopping areas, with streets that safely
and comfortably accommodate pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users as well as
motor vehicles
• Policy 12.07: Close gaps in the Town’s bicycle and pedestrian trail system in order
to create a more fully connected, logical, comprehensive system of facilities
for non-motorized transportation.
• Policy 12.08: Ensure the provision of adequate bicycle support facilities, such
as bicycle parking, at all major bicycle usage locations.
• Goal 12: Create viable transportation alternatives to the single occupant
automobile.
• Goal 14: Integrate land use and transportation planning to increase the viability of
alternative transportation modes, minimize vehicle trips, and make more efficient
use of the transportation system.
• Goal 15: Reduce the adverse effects of vehicle traffic on Danville’s neighborhoods
and natural environments.

Danville Bicycle Advisory Committee Report
(update #1)
Andy Dillard May 3, 2021
Town of Danville Transportation Manager
Danville, Ca
The Danville Bicycle Advisory Committee (DBAC) is an ad hoc committee made up of devoted
and passionate road and mountain cyclists banding together to assist the Town of Danville with
recommendations for bicycle infrastructure improvements that will promote the use of non-
motorized transportation, promote healthy lifestyles, increase safety of the bicycling public and
help make Danville a more livable community.
This ad hoc committee recommends that the Town of Danville establish a formal bicycle
advisory committee composed of stakeholders, e.g., recreational cyclists, school
representatives, bicycle transportation advocates, etc.
The DBAC conducted an in-depth analysis of the Danville Bicycle Master Plan Draft Proposal
(March 11, 2021), Proposed Facilities Spot and Segment Improvements (slides #15 – #22). DBAC
members spent a significant amount of time reviewing and visiting all proposed improvement
locations and amended the Town’s recommended safety improvements. In addition, DBAC
members identified additional locations and potential safety improvements. Each DBAC
member identified their top 30 high priority spot improvements and those choices are reflected
in the DBAC priority (see attached Tables and Appendix), representing a cyclist’s view of the
safety impact of each improvement. Each spot improvement recommendation in Table 1 is
hyperlinked to an appendix table of detailed safety-focused analysis and recommendations.
We look forward to working with the Town of Danville to revise and implement the Bicycle
Master Plan.
Sincerely,
Alan Kalin, Bruce Bilodeau, John Gallagher, Linda Kwong, Jeff Eorio, Mark Dedon, Steve Whalen,
Mike Anciaux

The ped bridge across Green Valley Creek at the
Smart and Final shopping center is a well
designed asset. But there is no ped/bike access to
Diablo Road from the back (north) end of the
center. Placing a priority on the trail along Green
Valley Creek under I680 would mitigate that

I think that the BB plan shows the
location to be WB Sycamore to SB
SRVB. Great idea! Same with a VDD
for the same bike box. It should be
noted that motorcycles have the
same problem. That is, the light often
does not activate for a motorcycle on
WB Sycamore turning left onto SB
SRVB. The rider has to wait, hoping a
car will show up.
41 DIABLO RD HARTZ AVE The VDD (WB Diablo Rd. to SB Hartz

Diablo Road onto SB Hartz Ave. will
be good.
42 DIABLO RD FRONT ST VDD is good, but the default for that
stoplight is green for Diablo Road
with the left turn from WB Diablo Rd

9 IHT SAN RAMON
VALLEY RD
There are bike auto-detection sensors
in the IHT on the north and south
sides of San Ramon Blvd. that rely on
bikes riding or stopping over a sensor.
These locations are marked by bike
symbols stenciled onto the
pavement. The problem is that the
symbols are now very faded and it is
difficult to know where the bike
should be to activate the signal.
A raised crosswalk at this protected intersection
might be helpful to reduce traffic speed.
15 IHT LINDA MESA
AVE
16 IHT LOVE LN It should be a priority to provide
sidewalks on Love Lane on both sides
of the IHT. As it is, students of SRVHS
(and other peds) have no safe access
to the IHT except from the far north
end of the campus. It will be worse
with the new security fence on the
west side of SRVHS.
17 IHT DEL AMIGO RD Recommend raised crosswalk in addition to
other improvements. The lack of sidewalks
adjacent to the IHT is very bad, too.

junction of Diablo Road, Blackhawk
Rd and Mt Diablo Scenic. Traffic from
all three
directions is currently controlled by
stop signs. Traffic traveling Eastbound
has a dedicated left turn lane onto Mt
Diablo Scenic. The posted maximum
speed is 35 mph on Diablo/Blackhawk
Roads and 25 mph on Mt. Diablo
Scenic. Diablo Road/ Blackhawk Rd is
a heavily traveled regional connector
providing access between schools,
homes and highway 680. In the most
recent traffic study, peak hour traffic
on Diablo/ Blackhawk Roads has a
Level of Service score of E/F during
the AM and PM school peak periods.
At other times of day, the Level of
Service was C. Mt Diablo Scenic
provides access for residents who live
along the road, Athenian School and
is the South Gate to Mt Diablo State
Park. Blackhawk Road is designated
as a Class 3 bike route. Diablo Road
and Mt. Diablo Scenic are not
designated as bike routes. All roads
are largely straight, substandard in
width and lack bike lanes. Parking is
permitted in the eastbound direction

Leading risks to cyclists for this type
of intersection include:
● Vehicles turning into the path of
cyclists.
● Driver inattention resulting in
vehicles overtaking
● cyclists or where the vehicle turns
into the lane occupied by a cyclist.
● Failure to yield
● Dangerous road conditions

VALLEY RD
IHT CROSSING The IHT crosses Sycamore Valley Rd.
at the intersection of Camino Ramon
on the south side and the Danville
Sycamore Park and Ride on the north
side. Traffic from all four directions is
controlled by stop lights. Posted
speed limit on Sycamore Valley Rd.
east bound is 45 MPH. Posted speed
limit on Camino Ramon north bound
is 45 MPH.
Leading risks to cyclists for this type
of intersection include:
● Cyclists in crosswalk ignoring red
light and being hit by traffic on
Sycamore (I witnessed a near
collision like this in the first 5
minutes of observing the
intersection!).
● Vehicles failing to obey light.
● Limited visibility at night
Since the bridge will likely take years to be
designed, funded, and built, interim safety
measures are recommended:
● From Park and Ride heading north, bike
sensors are needed to detect and change
the light for bikes traveling straight (south)
or turning left onto Sycamore (east). When
sensors are added, the “bike detected” light
is also recommended.
● From Camino Ramon heading north bike
detection is needed for bikes heading
straight into the Park and Ride (north) and
turning left onto Sycamore (west). When
sensors are added, the “bike detected” light
is also recommended.
● On westbound Sycamore just before the
intersection with the IHT, install signage
that warns drivers that there is a trail
crossing and to beware of pedestrians and
cyclists in the intersection.

Hi Thomas,
My name is Jim DeFrisco, and I’d love to get involved some way with the Town-wide Bicycle
Master Plan that I read about today in the quarterly newsletter.
I’ve lived in town since 1992, currently on La Gonda Way, where we’ve been since 1996. I’ve
been an avid cyclist my whole life, cycling cross the US in 1977 and generally doing a few
week-long tours per year around the US and abroad. I’ve been a life member of Adventure
Cycling since the early 80s. I commute to work between Danville and Pleasanton on the Iron
Horse Trail as often as I can - typically 2 times per week (25 miles round trip). I work as a
software developer focusing on data visualization.
I’m not sure how I can help given the current pandemic situation, but I have a great interest
and passion for the subject! Let me know, and if not - best of luck with the plan!
Cheers,
Jim

Dear Mr. Valdriz:
My name is Mark Higgins. My wife and I live in the Cameo Neighborhood and are both cyclists. I saw the article
with your contact information in the quarterly newsletter. I was very happy to hear that Danville will be working towards
improvements for cyclists. My wife commutes to Chevron in San Ramon via the iron horse trail. Cycling to work keeps her
healthy and happy, but I am nervous every day when I know she's on the bike because of a few dangerous spots. She
commutes year round, often in the dark both directions, and I have noticed some areas that are dangerous for her that I
would love to see improved.
Stop signs for automobile traffic needs to be added where the iron horse trail crosses roads in Danville.
Currently there is signage and lighting, but this is not enough, a stop sign for traffic must be implemented for pedestrian
and cyclist safety. These crossings are incredibly dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians, especially during commute
times as drivers often drive above the speed limit and don't stop, presenting the possibility of a devastating side on
collision. The following crossings need a stop sign:
Fostoria way- this crossing is by far the most dangerous. No signage whatsoever exists and both sides of the trail
have a blind corner.
Greenbrook Drive
El Capitan Drive
I am not as familiar with the Northern end, but there are many small street crossings that could also stand to have
stop signs.
There are a number of left turns that are dangerous for cyclists on Diablo Road. Improvements should be made
to the roadway to make these left turns accessible to cyclists without having to cross multiple lanes of traffic on a high
speed roadway. The following are turns that I'm aware of:
Left turn from Diablo Rd. eastbound to Green Valley road northbound.
Left turn from Diablo Rd. westbound onto Diablo Road Southbound (at the Diablo/El Cerro Blvd intersection)
left turn from Diablo Rd. Southbound onto Camino Tassajara eastbound. This light system has a sensor for cyclists,
but improvements need to be made to the road paint to allow cyclists access to the left turn lane.
2
Green Valley Road northbound needs improvements to the bicycle lane. The lane is narrow and is especially
dangerous on trash day when the entire bike lane is take up with residents trash cans. In addition the bike lane briefly
disappears at the Green Valley/ Verde Mesa intersection. There's a strange curb here that makes it awkward and
dangerous for cyclists.
Thanks for your work! this is an important project. Let me know how I can help!

Thomas
I am just responding to the articles in the Danville quarterly newsletter about the bicycle master plan
and also the updated traffic signals. One of the biggest issues for bicyclists is that many of the Town's
traffic signals don't recognize the presence of cyclists, and leave them stranded. For example, I live in
Wood Ranch, off Camino Tassajara. The Woodranch/Tassajara lights will not recognize the presence of
cyclists, so if I am coming out of Woodranch I have to get off and push the pedestrian button (unless a
car happens to be coming behind me and activates the lights); and if I am turning left into Wood Ranch
when coming from a Blackhawk direction, I get stranded in the middle of the road and, again unless
there is a car also turning, I have to run the light. (I was once pulled over by a Danville cop for doing
exactly that, until I pointed out that the lights don't work for cyclists, and he let me off!)
If you want a town that is safe and suitable for cyclists, please fix this!!!

Please consider installing one of the new bike-sensitive signals @Morninghome/Sycamore Valley
Rd. The left turn from Morninghome onto eastbound Sycamore requires a car or pressing the
'beg' button in order to get the traffic signal to change. Bikes take the bridge over the creek from
Brookside to Old Farm Rd. sometimes instead of staying on Brookside.

- Pearsons RA Destination Diablo Rd is not safe for cyclists. I ride
from DCC area to downtown. Cars use
the existing bike lane as a turn lane in
several places. The corner of Diablo Rd
as it makes a 90 degree right turn,
heading east across from Sloats, cars
cut the corner. Can we put in a divider
to keep traffic away from cars on the
corner when turning?

Calle Arroyo is the safest route for road
cyclists to access Mt. Diablo from
Danville. But some residents are
discouraging access on this private
road. The proposed MaGee Ranch trail
could help resolve this but may be far
in the future.

Route Diablo Rd corridor has multiple safety
issues. Bike safety is one. Another is
emergency evacuation. These could be
addressed simultaneously by widening
with bike lanes in such a way to allow 2
lanes to be used for emergency egress.

This intersection is dangerous for
cyclists — including elementary school
age children like my son (Finn, 8yo,
John Baldwin Elementary School). Even
when the crosswalk button is pushed,
and walk sign is lit, the car traffic
turning right from Camino Tassajara
(West bound from Blackhawk) onto
Camino Tassajara (North bound toward
Diablo Rd) have a green turn light.
Motorists do not stop, and do not yield.
The simultaneous green light and walk
signal are a safety hazard for young
cyclists.

Diablo road is problematic and
dangerous for cyclists. Diablo CC is
becoming increasingly less receptive to
cyclists transiting that community. The
bike path from Diablo Rd/Green Valley

Continuation of a bike path to Mt

cyclists and appease Diablo CC

58 Steve Beck Comment I would like to see Hartz Ave become more
pedestrian and bike friendly by making it a one-way,
one-lane street for vehicle traffic and using the
extra space for bike lanes and more space for
outdoor dining. This may also discourage freeway
traffic from using Hartz Ave when the freeway is
backed up.

eastbound from Liverpool St to Crow
Canyon Rd opens up to 3 lanes from 2.
Plenty of room for a full bike lane here
but only Green Sharro markers are in
place. This is an upward grade and cars
usually accelerate here putting cyclists

lane a bicylce only lane. There are a lot
of bikes that use this lane and it is very
unsafe to share it with cars going 45
mph. There are three car lanes here
now. There is no shoulder for bikes to
ride on, so we have to share this lane.

Trail??? This is my #1 top priority for
improving bicycling in Danville.
- Steve Miller Route Going up Sycamore from the town to
Blackhawk plaza, there is a section of
Sycamore there the bike lane ends and
becomes a car lane. THIS IS VERY
DANGEROUS. This area just before the
McDonald's is there the incline is steep
causing the bicyclists to slow down
going up the hill. The sun casts
shadows on this new lane making it
extremely difficult to see a bicyclist.
Although there is a bike sign on the
new lane most drivers just can't see the
bicyclist. I've been a driver and was
surprised by

cyclists. Lights don't sense bikes and
cars leaving Crossroads making lefts
rarely use turn indicators. Cars behind
cyclists making left turns get impatient.

- Ra Pearsons Route The bike lane in both directions is sub
standard and at one point cyclists are
forced into traffic. I have been involved
in a near miss accident as cars trying to
pass, had to slam on breaks, move back
into lane as they almost hit an
oncoming car. Shar-arrows do nothing.
Drivers don't see them and/or get
impatient with bikes in lane.

of distracted pedestrians and
distracted drivers that create a hazard

changed to a "2 hour" parking (or
similar) on weekends to avoid this.
Possibly, the high school parking lot

Route Green Valley Road has very little
shoulder for cycling. Multiple roads
entering GVR also add difficulty to
bicyclists along this route. Additional
shoulder and/or caution signs would be
helpful.

Difficulty accessing San Ramon Valley
Blvd on Sycamore Valley Road between
Camino Ramon and San Ramon Valley
Blvd. West-bound traffic is complex
especially crossing the north-bound
freeway entrance with two lanes
turning right (limited visibility of cyclists
continuing to travel West. To access
the Livery, safest route via iron horse
trail but it is not a direct route and
families attempt to navigate SVR to get
to SRVB.

Destination Difficult to access the livery by bicycle
coming from the Sycamore
neighborhood. Hard to travel with
family from Sycamore Valley Road to
Livery. Cars do not see
pedestrians/bikes readily at the
crosswalk at Sycamore Valley Road and
San Ramon Valley Blvd, heading West.
Motorists often look to the left but do
not see the illuminated crosswalk
making this a dangerous crossing.

Route Cars often run yellow and red lights at
Tunbridge Road and Sycamore Valley
Road, especially in summer
afternoon/evening when the sun sets
west and shines down SVR. Better
visibility of red light to allow crossing of
bikes from Tunbridge, Greenbrook, etc.
would be helpful. The Sycamore Creek
trail is a good alternative but does not
provide continuity and is often used by
pedestrians.

No bike lane going up the hill East-

often goes very fast. It is often a
challenge to get over to the left lanes
to turn onto Blackhawk road. Many
other cyclists go this way to Diablo

From Elworthy Ranch to Sycamore Rd
on the south bound lane. It's not safe
passage to connect children / families
to school routes and downtown. If you
live at Danville Ranch or Chateau you
can ride across directly to Greenbrook
and catch the IHT and go via underpass
into town or to CW. Kids that attend

parked vehicles in bike lanes.Kids have
to merge into traffic lane to pass
parked cars.My 14 year old son passed
a parked car and the driver didn’t see
him, opened his car door.My son
collided into car door and went flying
over the door into the road.Thank
goodness there was no oncoming
traffic, but he was injured & too
frightened to bike again.
- Ed SORIA Route Section of Diablo road mostly from

the new housing project is supposed to
address this but not sure how soon or

- todd smith Destination As many have posted the #1
improvement in Danville for cyclists of
all types is a dedicated bike path
extension along Diablo Rd from current
bike path end at Calle Arroyo and
extending to Mt Diablo Scenic Rd. This
would make biking along this popular
route safe while also relieving the
residents of Diablo CC of cyclists using
their "private" roads for safe access to
Mt Diablo or continuation to
Blackhawk. This would require
easements on current private property
along Diablo Rd....much needed

barrier for every recreational rider and
elementary / middle school child that
might want to ride from Sycamore or

Bike lanes are good, but there is a
limited sight line for drivers heading
east on Stone Valley Rd before the
intersection (i.e., driveway) with the
paved trail. SRV and MV mountain

cyclists use this trail to access Macedo
Ranch trailhead, so they cross two lanes
to the left turn lane at the stop sign on
Green Valley Rd. Could you add a PHB
at the top of the hill to warn drivers
there are cyclists entering the street?

Improvements to the
Sycamore Valley Road/680
crossing are needed. It's
challenging to navigate
the westbound crossing
without extreme
confusion and danger.
The eastbound offramp
crossing is requires
speeding cars to interact
with bikes crossing their
lane while they continue
to turn and get ready to
merge. Most families
continue on the IHT to
downtown to avoid this.
Biking to the Livery, CVS or
Las Trampas via
Remington is not an
option from east of 680
without going around.
Thanks,
Chris

I use this all the time to
jump on the IHT when
riding south toward home.
Turning left onto the IHT is
often a little awkward with
car traffic in both
directions, and only a
narrow opening for
walkers and bikes.

Woot! The sooner the

Paraiso is shown as an
existing Class III bike
route, but the striping and
signage doesn't exist. It
was paved over and not
restored. New markings
are needed.

Danville on the Iron Horse Trail! PLEASE
MAKE THESE CROSSINGS SAFER!

Bike crossing bridge at Sycamore Valley
Rd/Iron Horse Trail would help save
lives. The transit center is a busy place
in the morning and I have had close
calls with cars turning right and not
looking for bikes entering the crosswalk.
A bike bridge would improve traffic flow
and allow bikes, walkers to have a safe
passage across the wide street.

I use this crossing often. I
think it is safe for cyclists
since there is a traffic light
and a pedestrian crossing
signal today. A bridge
over-crossing might help
car traffic, but I don't
know if the expense is
worth it.

I've personally prevented
two people from being
struck by cars in this
crosswalk when the walk
sign was on. Anything you
can do to help drivers
recognize there is a
stoplight here will help.

Carina As a pedestrian I’ve almost been hit by
cars going thru this intersection several
times. As a driver, I admit that for some
reason it’s easy to misunderstand
what’s going on in this intersection. A
more protected intersection sounds like
a great plan. I’d love to know more
about what kind of protection this is
talking about.

Greenbrook is another
major bikeway in Danville.
Enhancing safety for
cyclists of all ages will
improve its utility.

I walk my dog through
Osage Park all the time. A
path along San Ramon
Creek would be a beautiful
addition to enjoying
Danville's green spaces.
I'd give the several likes if I
could.

I have been using the Iron
Horse Trail frequently
during the past month
while recovering from hip
surgery. The Flashing
Rectangular Beacons are
an excellent addition. It
brings added attention to
the crossing. The raised
crosswalk would be
another good addition.

today I stop every time I

We use this intersection to get over
onto Cameo Drive to ride to Mount

crosswalk button both here (Green
Valley Rd & Blemer) and on our return
at Cameo and Green Valley Road. Both
involve crossing the oncoming lane to

INTRODUCTION
The following document serves as a summary of principles for developing
the Town of Danville’s Bicycle Wayfinding Strategy. Drawing from best
practices for wayfinding from North America and California, the key
principles of a successful wayfinding system are identified. This document
also outlines standards and guidelines for wayfinding elements, destination
selection, prioritization, sign typologies, and sign placement. The California
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) Part 9 and
California Highway Design Manual (HDM) were consulted. The American
Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)
Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities, National Association of
City Transportation Officials (NACTO) Bikeway Design Guide, Contra
Costa Transportation Authority Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan
Update, and Iron Horse Trail Active Transportation Corridor Study were
also referenced for the development of this document.

OBJECTIVES
Danville’s Bicycle Wayfinding Strategy
strives to create a cohesive, consistent
wayfinding system to serve residents and
visitors who ride bicycles. Working in tandem
with infrastructural improvements, quality
bicycle wayfinding further encourages
cycling as a mode of transportation and as a
recreational activity. The strategy aims to:
• Inform and direct residents and
visitors toward cultural, historical, and
recreational amenities, local businesses
and services
• Create signage that will meet the specific
needs of all bicyclists travelling through
and within Danville
• Establish a high quality of design
that reflects the local character and is
coherent and attractive
• Understand key spatial relationships
between gateways to Danville and
decision points along the bicycle network
A bicycle wayfinding system should be
designed to maximize the legibility of the
built environment for active transportation
users. Increased environmental legibility
allows bicyclists to move safely, efficiently,
and comfortably. A well-designed wayfinding
system enables individuals to:
• Easily and successfully find their
destination
• Understand where they are with respect
to other key locations
• Orient themselves in an appropriate
direction with little misunderstanding or
stress
• Discover new places and services

KEY PRINCIPLES
The following guiding principles, based on best practices from around North America and guidance
from CA MUTCD, CA HDM, and NACTO will help create an effective wayfinding system in Danville:
BE PREDICTABLE
When wayfinding information is consistent
and predictable, it can be quickly recognized
and understood. A systematic approach to
designing and locating signs can foster a
sense of trust between people biking and the
wayfinding cues along their route. Signs that
are consistent in their placement prior to,
during, and after decision points will reinforce
navigational confidence and create better travel
experiences. Using an intuitive and predictable
system to present wayfinding information will
lessen the time it takes for users to learn and
understand the “language” of wayfinding.
PROMOTE ACTIVE TRAVEL
A wayfinding system is a natural extension
of active transportation infrastructure.
Infrastructural and wayfinding elements
reinforce one another, enabling better
experiences for people walking and biking.
Wayfinding can also validate one’s decision
to bike or walk. By effectively communicating
network connectivity and addressing
perceived barriers such as time and distance to
destinations, wayfinding can show that walking
and bicycling are viable transportation options.
Wayfinding signage increases awareness
of bicycle facilities and their relationship
to community services and amenities.
Good wayfinding makes active modes of
transportation more attractive to more users.
MAKE CONNECTIONS
A wayfinding system should connect people with the
places they want to go. Effective wayfinding not only
provides navigational assistance, it fosters a deeper
understanding of one’s environment and helps build
a sense of place. Residents and visitors alike benefit
from wayfinding. It is an extension of the bicycling
and walking network, creating an intuitive travel
experience while also supporting the local economy
and reflecting community values.
KEEP INFORMATION SIMPLE
Wayfinding information should be presented to users
in a manner that is clear, logical and concise. This
principle involves making information accessible
to the widest possible audience, with consideration
for users with varying levels of English language
proficiency, educational attainment, and spatial
reasoning skills. It also includes presenting an
appropriate amount of information. Too much
information at one time can overburden the user and
hinders one’s ability to make quick decisions; too
little information promotes poor understanding and
decision-making. Information should be provided
in advance of where major changes in direction are
required, repeated only as necessary, and confirmed
when a maneuver is complete.
KEEP USERS MOVING
Users should be able to interpret signage while safely
maintaining motion on a trail, bike lane, or bike
route. Information that is quickly and easily grasped
will contribute to a more seamless travel experience,
without the need to stop to process navigational cues.
Wayfinding signage should be conducive to quick
interpretation and comprehension. How information
is presented—the amount of information, the font,
size, and visual characteristics—will determine how
quickly it can be understood. This is particularly
important for people biking, who can travel at higher
speeds. A wayfinding system that allows users to
keep moving allows for a better user experience and
relieves congestion in busy corridors, like the Iron
Horse Trail.

WAYFINDING ELEMENTS
The goal of wayfinding is to allow individuals to orient themselves in the built environment,
navigate easily to desired destinations, and discover new places and services within a
community. To accomplish this goal, a wayfinding system employs a series of elements, each
playing a vital role in the overall system. Elements can be categorized into three groups of
elements:
• Access Elements
• Fundamental Navigational Elements
• Enhanced Navigational Elements
ACCESS ELEMENTS
Gateway Monument
Define the entry into distinct districts,
neighborhoods, trailheads or access points.
These elements allow for placemaking and
integrated artwork to be included
Information Kiosks
Kiosks provide a particular area’s map,
destinations, rules of use, and safety
information. Maps highlight major/minor
access points, landmarks, restrooms and
other trail and on-street bikeway networks.
Secondary Access
Signage provides orientation where limited
user traffic may not necessitate as much
information as information kiosks (e.g., maps).Figure A: Generalized Access Elements
DR
A
F
T
BICYCLE MASTER PLAN | SPRING 2021
4-5
FUNDAMENTAL NAVIGATIONAL ELEMENTS
Decision Signs
Clarify route options when more than
one potential route or multiple regional
destinations exist.
Confirmation Signs
Reassure users that they are on the correct
route. These signs should be placed after turn
movements or intersections.
Turn Signs
Clarify a specific route at changes in
direction when only one route option is
suggested. Turn signs may include branding,
route name, and directional arrow.

ENHANCED NAVIGATIONAL ELEMENTS
Pavement Markings
Reinforce directionality of route, bicyclist
positioning, and/or system branding.
Mile Markers
Orient users along off-street facilities about
their location in relation to others. Reinforce
system branding.
Street/Trail Intersection Signs
Orient off-street trail users at street crossings
and inform vehicular traffic of trail crossing.
Fingerboard Signs
Clarify route options where two or more
routes converge.

STANDARDS
The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (MUTCD) is a document issued
by the Federal Highway Administration of
United States Department of Transportation
(FHWA). The MUTCD specifies the standard
for all traffic control devices installed on
any street, highway, bikeway, or private road
open to public travel. The MUTCD was
established in order to achieve uniformity
and consistency in traffic control devices
(wayfinding signage is considered a traffic
control device) so that information would
be readily recognized and understood by
travelers. Both on-street and off-street bicycle
facilities are required to follow the standards
within the MUTCD. The State of California
has adopted specific state standards for
all traffic control devices called the CA
MUTCD, which includes the FHWA MUTCD
standards, but is amended for the state, thus
superseding the MUTCD. At the time of
writing, the most recent version is Revision 5
of the 2014 edition of the CA MUTCD.
BICYCLE GUIDE SIGNS
The fundamental navigational elements (see
Figure B), as well as pavement markings on
public streets, are wayfinding elements whose
standards are dictated by the CA MUTCD.
Access elements, enhanced navigational
elements, and interpretive elements allow for
more flexibility and customization. Per the
CA MUTCD, devices should be designed so
that:
• Size, shape, color, composition, lighting
or retro-reflection, and contrast are
combined to draw attention to the
devices;
• Simplicity of message combine to
produce a clear meaning
• Legibility and size combine with
placement to permit adequate time for
response
• Uniformity, size, legibility, and
reasonableness of the message combine
to command respect
The CA MUTCD also recommends the
arrangement and amount of text, or legend,
on each section of each sign (see Figure D):
• Guide signs should be limited to no more
than three lines of destinations, which
include place names, route numbers,
street names, and cardinal directions.
• A straight-ahead location should always
be placed in the top slot followed by the
destination to the left and then the right.
If two destinations occur in the same
direction, the closer destination should
be listed first, followed by the farther
destination.

• Arrows shall be depicted as shown
in Figure D for glance recognition,
meaning straight and left arrows are to
be located to the left of the destination
name, while an arrow indicating a
destination to the right shall be placed
to the right of the destination name. The
approved arrow style must be used.
• Nineteen (19) characters (including
spaces) in titlecase should be
considered a maximum length for a
single destination title. 10-14 characters
(including spaces) in titlecase should be
considered an ideal maximum length for
a single destination title.
• In situations where two destinations of
equal significance and distance may
be properly designated and the two
destinations cannot appear on the same
sign, the two names may be alternated
on successive signs.
• Approved fonts include the Federal
Series (series B, C, or D), also known
as Highway Gothic. Clearview is also
currently approved for use, however the
FHWA is considering rescinding the use
of Clearview.
• A contrast level of 70% needs to be
achieved between foreground (text and
graphics) and background.
COLORS
Color coding may be used on wayfinding
guide signs to help users distinguish
between multiple potentially confusing
traffic generator destinations located in
different neighborhoods or subareas within a
community or area. Community wayfinding
guide signs may use background colors
other than green in order to provide a color
identification for the wayfinding destinations
by geographical area within the overall
wayfinding guide signing system. Green is
the standard color for guide signs. Blue and
brown are also used for traveler information
including destination and street name signs.
The remaining colors are eligible for use on
community wayfinding signs as long as they
are sufficiently different from the “assigned
colors.”
The CA MUTCD prohibits the use of some
colors for wayfinding signs, these colors are
known as “assigned colors.” The “assigned
colors” consist of the standard colors of red
(ex. Stop sign), orange (ex. Work zone sign),
yellow (ex. Crosswalk sign), purple, or the
fluorescent versions thereof, fluorescent
yellow-green, and fluorescent pink. They
cannot be used as background colors for
community wayfinding guide signs, in order
to minimize possible confusion with critical,
higher-priority regulatory and warning sign
color meanings readily understood by road
users.
Ultimately, the described standards and
design elements should serve as the basis for
the future development of a comprehensive
Bicycle Wayfinding Design Guidelines
document specific to the Town of Danville
to use as a project-level document for the
planning, implementation and deployment of
bicycle wayfinding signage.

SUPPLEMENTAL WAYFINDING ELEMENTS
Pavement Markings
Directional pavement markings indicate
confirmation of bike rider presence on a
designated route and where riders should
turn. Especially in urban settings, pavement
markings can often be more visible and can
help supplement or reinforce signage.
On-Street Markings
Figure E shows different types of pavement
markings used for wayfinding purposes.
While the shared lane marking is currently
the only FHWA approved pavement marking
shown, cities have experimented with the
other options.
DESTINATION SELECTION & PRIORITIZATION
DESTINATION HIERARCHY
Because there are many desirable
destinations in the Danville region that are
reachable by bicycle, they will need to be
organized into a heirarchy. A clear hierarchy
helps present wayfinding information
quickly and legibly. When there are too
many destinations to show, the established
destination hierarchy helps determine
what information is presented, and as
importantly, where it is presented along the
bicycle network. Simply put, a hierarchy of
destinations ensures that people biking get
the right information at the right time.
Establishing a destination hierarchy also
helps determine the physical distance from
which the locations are signed. Signs for
primary destinations are located farther from
the destination, signs for tertiary locations
are located nearer to the destination.
Primary Destinations
These destinations are of primary or regional
significance, including Downtown Danville
and Mount Diablo State Park. Directional
information to their location appears on
signs from a large radius throughout the
region. Destinations in this category can
include nationally recognized destinations,
downtowns, regional trails, and neighboring
municipalities. Primary destinations typically
appear on wayfinding signs within five (5)
miles of their location.
Secondary Destinations
Secondary destinations are generally
recognized destinations that have access
to the bikeway or trail system nearby, such
as the Iron Horse Trail and Diablo Road
Trail. These might include transit stations,
community parks, schools, and neighborhood
shopping districts. Secondary destinations
typically appear on wayfinding signs within
two (2) miles of their location.

Markings

TOWN OF DANVILLE | SPRING 2021
4-10
Tertiary Destinations
The third category are minor destinations
that are often accessed by bicycle or other
non-motorized activity, such as the Library
and Community Center/Town Green, Village
Theatre and Art Gallery, and public parks.
These are generally local attractions and
activities, such as community and recreation
centers. Tertiary destinations typically
appear on wayfinding signs within one (1)
mile of their location.
DESTINATION ORDER
Decision signs should be limited to no
more than three lines of destinations, which
include place names, route numbers, street
names, and cardinal directions.
A straight-ahead location should always
be placed in the top slot followed by the
destination to the left and then the right, even
if destinations to the right or left are closer. If
two destinations occur in the same direction,
the closer destination should be listed first
followed by the farther destination.
Arrows should be placed for glance
recognition, meaning straight and left arrows
are located to the left of the destination name,
while right arrows are to be placed to the
right of the destination name (see Figure F
reference).
SIGN PLACEMENT GUIDELINES
Proper placement of wayfinding elements
will ensure maximum legibility and safety.
The Guide for the Development of Bicycle
Facilities by the American Association of
State Highway Transportation Officials
(AASHTO) provides information on the
physical infrastructure needed to support
bicycling facilities. The AASHTO Bike Guide
largely defers to Part 9 of the California
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices,
(CA MUTCD) for basic guidelines related
to the design of bicycle wayfinding systems.
Wayfinding guidance may be used to provide
connectivity between two or more major
facilities, such as a street with bike lanes and/
or sidewalks and a shared-use path.
• Wayfinding may be used to provide
guidance and continuity in a gap
between existing sections of a facility,
such as a bike lane or shared-use path
• Road/path name signs should be placed
at all path-roadway crossings to help
users track their locations
• Reference location signs (mile markers)
assist path users in estimating their
progress, provide a means for identifying
the location of emergency incidents,
and are beneficial during maintenance
activities
• On a Class I - Shared-use path, obstacles
(including signs) shall be placed no
closer than 24” from the near edge of the
travel way and no more than 6’ away. For
pole-mounted signs, the lowest edge of
the sign shall be 4’ above the existing
ground plane, and 8’ above the ground
plane for overhead placement.

Accessibility Standards
Wayfinding signage should conform to
technical guidance from the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA). In doing so,
it will allow many types of users to use
facilities without undue stress or safety
concerns. Signage should not impede the
travel of people walking and biking, and/
or those with disabilities. The CA MUTCD
provides guidance for the safe and effective
placement of signage. The Architectural
and Transportation Barriers Compliance
Board provides guidance for accessible
design for the built environment. Standards
which should be considered when designing
and placing wayfinding signs include
recommendations of vertical clearance, post
mounted objects, protruding objects, required
clear widths, and signs on shared use paths.
The following standards for placement should
be considered when designing and placing
wayfinding signs (see Figure G).
VERTICAL CLEARANCE
On-Street: Vertical clearance shall be a
minimum of 84” when adjacent to a sidewalk
or on-street environment.
Figure G: Summary of sign placement guidance adapted from CA MUTCD and ADA Guidance
Off-Street: Vertical clearance shall be 96”
high maximum (when overhanging the path),
or 48” minimum from the grade of the path to
the bottom of the sign and 24” from the edge
of the path tread to the edge of the sign when
the sign is mounted adjacent to the trail.
POST-MOUNTED OBJECTS
Where a sign or other obstruction is mounted
between posts or pylons and the clear
distance between the posts or pylons is
greater than 12”, the lowest edge of such sign
or obstruction shall be 27” minimum or 80”
maximum above the finished floor or ground.
PROTRUDING OBJECTS
Objects with leading edges more than 27”
and not more than 80” above the finished
floor or ground shall protrude 4” maximum
horizontally into the circulation path.
REQUIRED CLEAR WIDTH
Protruding objects may not, in any case,
reduce the clear width required for accessible
routes. Generally, this requirement is met
by maintaining 4’ minimum clear width for
people maneuvering mobility devices. This
requirement applies to sidewalks and other
pedestrian circulation paths.

WAYFINDING TOOLKIT
The following section provides guidance on
the development and implementation of a
wayfinding docket for the Town of Danville.
It describes the proposed family of signs
and includes mockups of the proposed
signage. An outline to implementation and
programming is also provided. Finally, a set
of signage placement guidelines is included
for consideration.
BICYCLE WAYFINDING SIGN FAMILY
The bicycle wayfinding family of signs
establishes a cohesive identity for the Town
of Danville bikeways. Consistent use of each
member of the family improves navigation,
encourages use, and provides a recognizable
identity for the bicycle network. The following
section provides a summary of each sign
including a short description, placement
guidance, recommended dimensions and
materials.

Kiosk
DESCRIPTION
Kiosks are freestanding two-sided
information displays that orient users to
Danville’s bicycle and pedestrian routes.
Kiosks provide a particular area’s map (ex.
Downtown Danville), destinations, rules
of use, and safety information. A detailed
map should show the local district or trail,
indicating “You are Here”, highlight major/
minor access points, landmarks, restrooms
and other trail and on-street bikeway
networks. The kiosk could provide additional
information on local destinations within
a 5-minute ride or 10-minute walk from
the current location. The kiosk is also an
opportunity to illustrate historical, ecological
or cultural interpretive information of the
local area. Kiosk colors and logos should
conform to the Town of Danville’s style guide
and branding standards.
PLACEMENT
Kiosks can be located at trailheads, trail
access points and selected public gathering
spaces (ex. Downtown Danville, Iron Horse
Trail). The Kiosk should be setback from the
path of travel a minimum of 3 feet to provide
space for people to read and consider the
information without blocking the sidewalk
or trail, and to avoid any safety hazards for
users. A minimum of three (3) feet should
also be provided for each side of the map
board per federal accessibility guidelines.
MATERIALS
Kiosks can be made of a variety of materials.
This plan recommends painted aluminum
which is a strong, durable and lightweight
material. Materials should correspond
with town design standards, and reinforce
branding and placemaking efforts.Figure I: Kiosk

DIRECTIONAL SIGN
DESCRIPTION
Directional signs clarify route options when
more than one potential route or multiple
regional destinations exist. Signs consist
of the regional bike route plaque and space
for up to three destinations with arrows. A
mockup is included below.
PLACEMENT
Directional signs should be installed along a
bikeway prior to decision making points and
at intersections. Sufficient distance should be
allowed prior to the intersection to provide
safe recognition and response to information
provided. Directional signs should be placed
on the near side of the intersection and
followed by a confirmation sign with mileage
on the far side of an intersection (see Sign
Placement section below for more details).

CONFIRMATION SIGN
DESCRIPTION
Confirmation signs should be placed after a
turn movement or intersection to reassure
people biking (i.e., the user) that they are on
the correct route and provide the distance to
destination. Signs can consist of the regional
bikeway branding and space for up to three
destinations with mileage.
PLACEMENT
Signs should be placed 50 to 100 feet after
turns following decision signs. Confirmation
signs with mileage should also be placed
at the beginning of regional routes and
on the far side of an intersection following
directional signs.

TURN SIGN
DESCRIPTION
These types of signs are used to clarify a
specific route at changes in direction when
only one route option is suggested.
PLACEMENT
Signs should be placed at turns prior to the
turning action to provide cyclists advance
notice of a change in direction. Turn signs
may be used in conjunction with a directional
sign at complex intersections warranting
additional information.

SIGN TOPPER
DESCRIPTION
Sign toppers can be added to new or existing
street signs to indicate streets that are part of
designated bicycle boulevard networks. Bike
Boulevards are intended to serve as low-
stress bikeway networks, providing direct,
and convenient routes across Danville. Key
elements of Bike Boulevards are unique
signage and pavement markings, traffic
calming and diversion features to maintain
low vehicle volumes, and convenient major
street crossings.
PLACEMENT
Plaques should be mounted to posts above
existing street signs. These should be located
at key access points and major signalized
intersections along the bicycle boulevard.

PROGRAMMING & DESTINATIONS
WHAT IS SIGN PROGRAMMING?
Sign programming refers to the messages
that appear on signs. Sign messages enable
users to navigate to destinations and along
local/ regional bikeways.
The following guidance outlines a consistent
approach to message identification based on
broad identification of destinations associated
with each route, selecting destinations that
would appear on signs (based on signing
distances outlined in the following pages),
and identifying the message order (based on
distance and direction). All destinations to be
signed should be open and accessible to the
public.
SIGNING DISTANCE AND TIERS
Signing distances suggest how far away
specific destinations should appear on signs.
This process ensures that information is
spread along the journey according to the
immediate needs of a person riding a bicycle.
Destinations are organized into tiers to
provide a straightforward signage hierarchy.
Level 1 destinations include those with
regional importance such as adjacent
jurisdictions and regional trails. These should
appear on signs up to five miles away. Level 2
tends to include more localized destinations
such as community parks, schools, and
neighborhood shopping districts. These
should be included on signs up to two miles
away. Level 3 destinations should only be
signed for up to one mile away and provide
directions to neighborhood destinations
including parks, recreation centers, and
cultural sites.
Distances may be measured either to a
destination boundary or center, as long as
the approach is consistent throughout the
region. Level 1 destinations typically have a
well-defined edge and should be measured
to boundary lines. Level 2 destination tend to
be less defined in terms of their boundaries
and thus should be measured to their centers.
Level 3 destinations are typically specific
addresses and thus distances should be
measured to the main entrance of the specific
location. If a Level 3 destination is large or
has several access points, distance should be
measured to the point at which the bike rider
will arrive.

SIGN PLACEMENT
PLACEMENT GUIDANCE
The contents of this section address
typical scenarios to navigating to various
destinations in Danville to ensure consistent
placement. The bicycle wayfinding signs in
the Town of Danville should be located in a
consistent manner throughout the bicycle
network. Figure R below illustrates typical
placement and sequencing of on-street
wayfinding signs. Directional signs (D) are
located prior to an intersection of two bicycle
facilities, turns in routes (T), and in relation
to regional destinations. Confirmation signs
(C) are provided after the turn movement,
as well as periodically along the route for
reassurance.

TYPICAL SCENARIOS
ON-STREET INTERSECTION (TWO ROUTES, MULTIPLE DESTINATION OPTIONS)
Where two bicycle routes intersect and both
continue straight, multiple decision options
exist. Directional signs may be placed around
100 feet away from the intersection to alert
bike riders of upcoming destination options.
Confirmation signs may be placed 50 feet
after the intersection to assure the rider they
are on the correct route.

ON-STREET JOG
Where physical barriers (ex., highways,
creeks, topography, development, etc.)
create continuous gaps in on-street facilities,
users are often routed to adjacent streets to
navigate around the barrier and continue
along the route. The typical pattern for
wayfinding signs includes a turn sign prior to
each intersection where a turn is necessary
to circumnavigate the barrier. Confirmation
signs are placed after intersections to
reinforce that the bike rider made the correct
movement.

PATHWAY-ROADWAY INTERSECTION 1
Shared-Use Path users should be directed
to cross roads where improvements such as
curb ramps, crosswalk striping, and warning
signs exists. If the cross street has on-street
bike facilities, a directional sign should be
placed prior to the intersection to inform bike
riders of their route options. If a bike-oriented
stop sign is present, it should not be obscured
by the wayfinding sign. Confirmation signs
may optionally be placed at path entries to
assure riders that they are on a bike facility.
If direct travel via a mid-block roadway
crossing is not provided travelers are
expected to divert to the nearest improved or
signalized intersection. In this scenario, turn
signs should be used to direct cyclists to the
intersection with safety improvements.
1 Note: development and implementation of wayfinding plan and related signage related to Iron Horse Trail should follow be coordinated with the East Bay Regional Park District.
