Description/Analysis
Issue: The 2010 City of Sacramento Bikeway Master Plan is a policy document that guides
the development of bikeways. The current Plan is out of date thereby reducing the Citys
competitiveness for funding; it does not include equity as a consideration for bikeway
implementation; and it does not include current bikeway types and designs. This
recommendation is made to establish a common vision for the citywide bikeway network.
The 2010 City of Sacramento Bikeways Master Plan is amended and restated as the 2016
Bicycle Master Plan.
Policy Considerations: The following Sacramento 2035 General Plan policies support the
recommendation:
M 1.1.1 Right-of-Ways The City shall preserve and manage rights-of-way consistent
with: the circulation diagram, the City Street Design Standards, the goal to provide
Complete Streets as described in Goal M 4.2, and the modal priorities for each street
segment and intersection established in Policy M4.4.1: Roadway Network Development,
Street Typology System.
M 1.2.1 Multimodal Choices - The City shall develop an integrated, multimodal
transportation system that improves the attractiveness of walking, bicycling, and riding
transit over time to increase travel choices and aid in achieving a more balanced
transportation system and reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
M 1.2.4 Multimodal Access - The City shall facilitate the provision of multimodal access to
activity centers such as commercial centers and corridors, employment centers, transit
stops/stations, airports, schools, parks, recreation areas, medical centers, and tourist
attractions.
M 1.3.2 Eliminate Gaps - The City shall eliminate gaps in roadways, bikeways, and
pedestrian networks. To this end:
a. The City shall construct new multi-modal crossings of the Sacramento and American
Rivers.
b. The City shall plan and pursue funding to construct grade-separated crossings of
freeways, rail lines, canals, creeks, and other barriers to improve connectivity.
c. The City shall construct new bikeways and pedestrian paths in existing neighborhoods
to improve connectivity.
M 1.3.3 Improve Transit Access - The City shall support the Sacramento Regional Transit
District (RT) in addressing identified gaps in public transit networks by working with RT to
appropriately locate passenger facilities and stations, pedestrian walkways and bicycle
Page 2 of 71
access to transit stations and stops, and public rights of way as necessary for transit- only
lanes, transit stops, and transit vehicle stations and layover.
M 3.1.1 Transit for All - The City shall support a well-designed transit system that provides
accessibility and mobility for all Sacramento residents, workers and visitors. The City shall
enhance bicycle and pedestrian access to stations.
M 4.1.2 Balancing Community, Social, Environmental, and Economic Goals - The City
shall evaluate and strive to address community, environmental, and citywide economic
development goals when adding or modifying streets, roads, bridges, and other public
rights-of-way.
M 4.1.3 Community Outreach - The City shall conduct public outreach to community
organizations and members of the general public in corridor planning early in the project
development process to identify feasible opportunities to provide community benefits and
to lessen any potential impacts of modifications to local streets and roadways.
M 4.2.1 Accommodate All Users - The City shall ensure that all new roadway projects and
any reconstruction projects designate sufficient travel space for all users including
bicyclists, pedestrians, transit riders, and motorists except where pedestrians and
bicyclists are prohibited by law from using a given facility.
M 4.2.2 Pedestrian and Bicycle-Friendly Streets - In areas with high levels of pedestrian
activity (e.g., employment centers, residential areas, mixed-use areas, schools), the City
shall ensure that all street projects support pedestrian and bicycle travel. Improvements
may include narrow lanes, target speeds less than 35 miles per hour, sidewalk widths
consistent with the Pedestrian Master Plan, street trees, high-visibility pedestrian
crossings, and bikeways (e.g. Class II and Class III bike lanes, bicycle boulevards,
separated bicycle lanes and/or parallel multi- use pathways).
M 4.2.4 Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities on Bridges - The City shall identify existing and
new bridges that can be built, widened, or restriped to add pedestrian and/or bicycle
facilities.
M 4.2.5 Multi-Modal Corridors - Consistent with the Roadway Network and Street
Typologies established in this General Plan, the City shall designate multimodal corridors
in the Central City, within and between urban centers, along major transit lines, and/or
along commercial corridors appropriate for comprehensive multimodal corridor planning
and targeted investment in transit, bikeway, and pedestrian path improvements if
discretionary funds become available.
M 4.2.6 Identify and Fill Gaps in Complete Streets - The City shall identify streets that can
be made complete either through a reduction in the number or width of travel lanes or
through two-way conversions, with consideration for emergency vehicle operations. The
City shall consider including new bikeways, sidewalks, on-street parking, and exclusive
Page 3 of 71
transit lanes on these streets by re-arranging and/or re-allocating how the available space
within the public right of way issued. All new street configurations shall provide for

appropriate to the street classifications and type, number of lanes, traffic volume, and
speed on all rights-of-way.
M 5.1.3 Continuous Bikeway Network - The City shall provide a continuous bikeway
network consisting of bike- friendly facilities connecting residential neighborhoods with key
destinations and activity centers (e.g., transit facilities, shopping areas, education
institutions, employment centers).
M 5.1.5 Motorists, Bicyclists, and Pedestrian Conflicts - The City shall develop safe and
convenient bikeways, streets, roadways, and intersections that reduce conflicts between
bicyclists and motor vehicles on streets, between bicyclists and pedestrians on multi-use
trails and sidewalks, and between all users at intersections.
M 5.1.9 Conversion of Underused Facilities - The City shall convert underused rights-ofway, including drainage canals, freeway easements, railroad corridors, and underutilized
travel and parking lanes to bikeways bicycle and/or pedestrian facilities where possible
and appropriate.
M 5.1.10 Bike Safety for Children - The City shall support infrastructure improvements and
programs that encourage children to bike safely to school.
M 5.1.11 Bike Facilities in New Development - The City shall require that major new
development projects (e.g., employment centers, educational institutions, recreational and
retail destinations, and commercial centers) provide bicycle parking (i.e., short-term
bicycle parking for visitors and long-term bicycle parking for residents or employees),
personal lockers, showers, and other bicycle-support facilities.
M 5.1.12 Bicycle Parking at Transit Facilities - The City shall coordinate with transit
operators to provide for secure short and long-term bicycle parking at all light rail stations,
bus rapid transit stations, and major bus transfer stations.

Economic Impacts: None
Environmental Considerations:
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA): The 2016 Bicycle Master Plan
infrastructure recommendations include minor changes to the on-street network and no
changes to the trail network from the 2010 Bikeway Master Plan. This 2016 Bicycle
Master Plan is consistent with the 2035 General Plan and any impacts from this Plans
recommendations have been addressed in the 2010 Bikeway Master Plan Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) which can be found here:
http://www.cityofsacramento.org/CommunityDevelopment/Planning/Environmental/Impact-Reports . The on-street bikeways not
identified in the 2010 Bikeway Master Plan are covered by CEQA Guidelines Article 19
Categorical Exemptions Section 15304 which exempts creation of bike lanes on existing
rights-of-way.
Sustainability Considerations: The recommended action supports the Climate Action
Plan goal to create a connected multi-modal transportation network that increases the use
of sustainable modes of transportation (e.g., walking, biking, transit) and reduces
dependence on automobiles.
Other: None.
Committee/Commission Action: None.
Rationale for Recommendation: This 2016 Bicycle Master Plan will make the City of
Sacramento more competitive for infrastructure and non-infrastructure grants available through
SACOG and Caltrans. This 2016 Bicycle Master Plan included broad outreach to gather input
to ensure projects are implemented in an equitable manner. Finally, this 2016 Bicycle Master
Plan includes a framework bikeway facility selection, including the latest bikeway types and
designs.
Implementation of the recommendations will create a better balance for all modes of travel;
improve bicyclist safety; and facilitate increased numbers of people who bicycle.
Financial Considerations: Approval of this recommendation does not obligate funding for the
improvements. Upon approval of the recommendation Federal, State, and local funding will be
sought to implement the plan over time. No General Funds are involved with this
recommendation.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE) Preference Program: This recommendation does not
involve the procurement of goods or services.

Background
The 2016 Bicycle Master Plan (Plan) is a policy document that will guide the
development of bikeways, support facilities such as bike parking, and programs such as
education and encouragement. The Plan purpose is to set forth bicycle related
investments, policies, programs and strategies to establish a complete bikeway network
and programs. The recommendations provided in the Plan will encourage more
bicycling, thereby contributing to the City meeting its General Plan emission targets.
The current 2010 Bikeways Master Plan was first developed in 1995 and has received
numerous updates since then including a major update and Environmental Impact
Report in 2004 that was adopted with Council Resolution 2004-791. The 2010 Bikeways
Master Plan was adopted with Council Resolution 2011-131 on March 8, 2011. This
2016 Bicycle Master Plan aims to establish a framework for an improved bicycling
environment throughout the City by:
Engaging underrepresented neighborhoods to inform investments in

infrastructure and programs
Evaluating equity related to bicycle infrastructure investment and bicyclist age

and abilities
Identifying best practice bikeway designs that can be used to connect and
expand the Citys low-stress bikeway network
Engagement of underrepresented neighborhoods included:
Two stakeholder meetings
Multiple traveling workshops to the following neighborhoods:

o Natomas
o Del Paso Heights
o Oak Park
o Fruitridge
o Meadowview/Valley Hi
Presentations to 10 neighborhood and community based associations
The equity analysis included a review of neighborhoods where residents live 200
percent below the poverty line; environmental and social economic disparities exist as
determined through CalEnviroScreen 2.0 (a screening methodology that can be used to
help identify California communities that are disproportionately burdened by multiple
Page 6 of 71
sources of pollution); high levels of bicycling to work exist; high numbers of households
without vehicles exist; and high numbers of bicyclist involved collisions have occurred.
The Plan also includes descriptions of the current bikeway types as well as a facilities
selection guide that will be the starting point to help identify which bikeway type is
appropriate for which type of roadway, giving staff a framework to implement low stress
bikeways that are comfortable for the greatest number of residents.
In addition to the bikeway network, this Plan includes recommendation to develop
Bicycle Parking Design Guidelines; update the Street Design Standards to include
consideration for bike lanes on residential streets at parks and schools; and develop
bikeway specific wayfinding guidelines and implement as funding allows.
The recommendations presented are informed by input from the community and the
City team.

GOALS OF THE
BICYCLE MASTER PLAN
The 2035 General Plan establishes an overarching goal of making Sacramento the most
livable city in America. Sacramentos Climate Action Plan commits the City to substantially
increasing its bicycling mode share to help reduce vehicle miles traveled and climate change.
In addition to the goals contained in the 2035 Sacramento General Plan and Climate Action
Plan, this plan adds the following goals to the policy framework of the City. The Sacramento
City-County Bicycle Advisory Committee approved a resolution promoting the following
goals based on the Citys overall vision on May 10th, 2016.
Goal: Increase Ridership

7% bicycle mode share for
community by 2020
Goal: Increase Safety

Zero bicyclist fatalities by
2020
Goal: Increase
Connectivity
Double the percentage
of residents that can
conveniently reach a
continuous low-traffic-stress
bikeway network*
Goal: Increase Equity

Equitable investments
in bicycling facilities
and programs for all
neighborhoods by 2020
*Note A low-traffic-stress bikeway network provides a bicycling option for people of all ages and abilities throughout Sacramento; lowtraffic-stress is defined in Mekuria et al., 2012. Low-stress bicycling and network connectivity. Report 11-10, Mineta Transportation Institute,

distribute automobile
traffic to and from the local
freeway network, including
Folsom Boulevard, Arden

high-capacity corridors
provide convenient access
for people traveling by car,
but simultaneously pose
challenges for bicyclists
attempting to travel
throughout the City.

Similarly, the Citys extensive

railroad network creates
distinct edges throughout
Sacramento. This network is
utilized for both freight and
passenger transportation
purposes, including the
Sacramento Regional Transit
light rail network, which
carries 50,000 passengers
per week throughout
the region. Roadway and
bicycle networks are often
interrupted by lengthy
stretches of railroad track,
making safe crossing
opportunities few and far
between.
Despite these barriers,

the flat topography
and temperate yearround climate provide
ideal conditions for
bicycling as a primary
mode of transportation
in Sacramento. Over
the years, the City has
facilitated bicycle travel
through the provision of a
variety of bicycle facilities,
ranging from on-street
neighborhood bicycle
routes to the renowned
American River Bike Trail.
With this foundation in
place, the City is positioned
to stitch together these
individual components into
a cohesive, complete bicycle
network.

BICYCLE FRIENDLY
COMMUNITY STATUS
Since 2006, the City of Sacramento has been recognized as a Bicycle Friendly Community
by the League of American Bicyclists. In 2011, the Citys recognition level was upgraded
to Silver largely based on the growing public support for bicycling in the region and the
integration of complete streets improvement standards.
A number of projects over
the past decade have
focused on improving
bicycle access to the
downtown business district,
including road diets to add
bicycle lanes on H Street, J
Street, Folsom Boulevard,
Freeport Boulevard.
Bicycle Friendly Community Report Card
EXISTING BIKEWAYS
INTRODUCTION
The evaluations for bicycle

friendly communities are
based on a combination
of qualitative metrics
and quantitative selfreported data. A selection
committee assesses each
application based on
the unique context of
each community under
consideration. The criteria
are based on five categories
known as the Five Es,
which include Engineering,
Education, Encouragement,
Enforcement, and Evaluation
& Planning. In addition,
the evaluations include
key outcomes related to
ridership, crashes, and
fatalities that can be measured
and tracked over time.
Page 20 of 71
During the most recent

renewal in February of 2016,
the City of Sacramento
maintained its Silver
Bicycle Friendly Community
designation. Generally,
in the Five Es categories,
scoring remained stagnant
with a slight drop in the
Evaluation & Planning
Criteria. In the key outcomes
evaluation, the percentage
of commuters who bike has
remained relativity constant
since 2011 at about 2.5
percent. Prior to 2011,
the growth of ridership in

Sacramento was one of its
key strengths. Unfortunately,
the crashes and fatalities per
10,000 bicycle commuters
has greatly increased over
the last four years. The
frequency of crashes has
nearly doubled from 265
to 453 between 2011 and
2015. During the same
time period, the fatality rate
has tripled from 1.89 to 5.7
fatalities per 10,000 bicycle
commuters.
several measures for

improving bicyclefriendliness in Sacramento:
Increase staff time and
resources spent on
improving bicycling
conditions.
Develop a comprehensive
traffic safety program,
such as Vision Zero.
Launch a bike share
system that is open to the
public to encourage short
trips by bike and bridge
the last mile to transit.
Consider offering a
Ciclovia or Open Streets
event to engage the
community regarding
enhancements and
removing barriers to
bicycling.
Consider ways to
decrease speed limits in
urban areas and redesign
those streets to increase
compliance with the new
limits.
Expand youth education
programs.

of transportation surrounded by tree lined
suburbs with neighborhood bike routes.
Historic highways radiate out from the Central
City connecting neighborhoods with on-street
bike lanes that are evolving to better serve
the Citys residents. Eclectic bike parking that
celebrates the arts culture of Sacramento can
be found along many of its active commercial
corridors. The City is implementing its first
protected bikeway along North 12th Street
continuing its goal of becoming a city that
celebrates active transportation.

BICYCLE
MODE SHARE
According to SACOGs
Metropolitan Transportation
Plan / Sustainable
Community Strategy
(Adopted February 18,
2016) bicycle mode share
across the Sacramento
Region has steadily grown
over that last decade. As
the largest urbanized area
and job center, the City
of Sacramentos bicycle
commute mode share
of 2.5 percent is above
the regional average. By
analyzing the American
Communities Survey (ACS)
commute data for the City
of Sacramento we observe
that some neighborhoods
have a bicycle commute
mode share above 20
percent, and the Central
City averages approximately
eight percent. However,
this map also highlights
many of the areas of the City
that fall below the regional
average with a mode share
less than one percent.
Increases in Educational
and Encouragement
programs, Enforcement and
Engineering infrastructure
can help the City reach its
bicycle commute mode
share goals.

PROGRAMS
The City of Sacramento has many programs that focus on increasing ridership, making
biking safer, and integrating biking into everyday life.
Education
Bicycle Education in
Schools
Elementary schools are
eligible to participate in
the Captain Jerry Program,
offered by the City of
Sacramento Department
of Public Works. Aimed at
providing learning basic
traffic safety along with the
fun of bicycling, the program
makes an interactive
presentation to an assembly
of the students. The program
visits ten schools per year.
Bicycle safety topics include
bicycling to prevent falling,
riding on the right side of
the road, using hand signals,
and the use of bicycle

helmets.
Safetyville USA in
Sacramento educates
children on life saving skills,
health and fitness, and
roadway safety.
Adult bicycle education

is offered through Smart
Cycling Sacramento taught
by instructors certified by
the League of American

Bicyclists. Students are able
to earn their Traffic Skills
101 Certificate and become
more prepared to ride in an
urban environment.
Police Department Grant
Programs
The Sacramento Police
Department obtains funding
for safety in schools as well.
The most recent program,
School Traffic Safety, funds
a police officer to provide
enforcement and traffic
safety education at over
100 schools in Sacramento.
Over 1,000 bicycle helmets
were purchased to be
given away to children at
the many planned school
bicycle safety events. These
events include bicycle safety
rodeos, Teen Impact classes,
and traffic safety pamphlets.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
BIKEWAYS
North Natomas
Transportation Management
Association (NNTMA) has a
fleet of bicycles they provide
to classes participating
in their bicycle rodeos
within the North Natomas
neighborhood. They provide
Project Ride Smart as a 5th
grade drivers education
program for bikes. This
comprehensive bicycle
safety program teaches
traffic principles and on-bike
handling skills. The 10 hour
course culminates with
street rides where students
apply what they learned to
their local neighborhood
streets giving them the
knowledge and experience
to travel safely to and from
school. Project Ride Smart
is taught by certified bike
instructors.

Enforcement
Traffic Law Enforcement
Funding for law enforcement
in Sacramento has
experienced program cuts
due to budget constraints.
Between 2007 and 2012
there was a 19 percent
reduction of sworn officers
and 45 percent reduction
in civilian staff. As a result
of these cuts, several
programs, including routine
traffic enforcement were
eliminated. In the interim,
some funding for traffic
enforcement was secured
though grants aimed at
DUI and distracted driver
enforcement. Funding for
overall traffic enforcement is
being gradually restored as
the economy continues to
recover.
the lock is cut and the bike

starts to move, officers
respond and generally make
an arrest. The program also
includes posting of signs as
the prevention piece of the
program as illustrated to the
right. More funding of this
program could help reduce
bicycle theft.
The Sacramento Police
Department has also
taken steps toward bicycle
recovery through Ride
On! an online bicycle
registration program. By
registering in the program,
a recovered bicycle that
is in the registry can be
returned to its rightful
owner. An added benefit,
bicycle registration aids
in identifying the bicycle

owner in case of a crash,
since many bicyclists,
especially children, dont
carry identification. In 2013,
741 bicycles were
brought in as
either evidence,
found property
or put in safe
keeping. During
the year, 362
bicycles were
returned to their
owners, and 199
were sent to
auction. Higher
recovery rates
could be seen
with more use
of the Ride On!
program.
Bicycle Theft Prevention

and Recovery
In response to an increase
in bicycle thefts in recent
years, the Sacramento Police
Department partnered with
various neighborhoods to
conduct a bait bike program.
These bait bikes have been
successful in reducing
bicycle theft. Each bait
bicycle is equipped with an
Electronic Tracking System
monitoring device, and
when moved, sends a signal
to police dispatch that the
object is moving. Officers
use equipment that tracks
the bicycles location. When

rideshare information.
Bike Access and Repair
The Sacramento Bicycle
Kitchen is a communitycentered bicycle
cooperative serving the
residents of Sacramento. The
organization was formed in
order to promote cycling as
a low-cost, alternative form
of transportation; enable
self-sufficiency through
knowledge of bicycle
maintenance; and promote
bicycle safety through
education and classes.
Hard-working, professional
Bike Doc mechanics are
dedicated to ensuring
students and their families
have safe and rideable
bikes by fixing flats, aligning
brakes and doing repairs
as needed at local school
events throughout the
spring season. Bike Doc
events at school sites also
offer low cost helmet
sales, where new, quality
helmets are provided for the
subsidized rate of $5.
In 2017, NNTMA will have
their 5th annual 50 Bikes
for 50 Kids. The event is
centered on rewarding the
excellent young individuals
found in our community
while encouraging the

community to learn more
about bicycles. This event
demonstrates the strength
of a unified community,
from the 232 volunteers
who donated 914 hours of
their time to the scores of
businesses who sponsored
the event.
Cycles 4 Hope was founded
to serve people in need
in the greater Sacramento
California region. Their
goal is increase the
transportation options and
increase opportunity to

May is Bike Month

First sponsored by the
Sacramento Area Council of
Governments in 2006, May
is Bike Month is a bicycle
promotional campaign
that takes place every year
during the Month of May.
The focus of the campaign
is to promote bicycle use as
a mode of transportation
whether for running
errands, commuting, riding
recreationally, or working.
The campaign encourages
people to get out of their
cars and on their bikes
year-round, but with and
emphasis every May so that
as more people become
energized and comfortable
on their bicycles they will
be more likely to replace a
car trip with a bicycle trip
year round. Of the many
activities that take place
during the month of May
is the voluntary logging of
miles by people who sign
into the web page. Since
2014, during the month of
May the total number of
miles has approached the
2 million mile goal. May is
Bike Month is expected to
continue for the foreseeable
future, with the result of
increasing bicycle ridership.

Evaluation
CycleSac
SACOG developed the
CycleSac smartphone
application to crowdsource
the desirability of bicycle
routes in the region and
collect data about where
people are, or are not, riding
bikes. This information can
be leveraged by planners
for more informed decisions
regarding infrastructure
investments to meet
demands and help keep
riders safe.
CycleSac collects data
on existing cyclist travel
18
patterns from users in all six

counties and documents
current constraints, issues,
and opportunities in the
area. This tool is not a
comprehensive analytical
tool, but a snapshot to
understand the routes taken
by proactive bicycle riders.
The Sacramento Area

many of the topics available,
bicyclists can call in service

requests for potholes,
problematic traffic signals,
fallen tree limbs and
flooded streets. The call

Wayfinding
Most wayfinding
signage within the City is
concentrated in Downtown
and Midtown Sacramento.
Wayfinding signage in
this area is intended
for use by pedestrians,
bicyclists, and automobiles,
directing travelers to local
recreational, historic, and
civic destinations, as well as
major transportation routes.
Some wayfinding signage
is also provided along the
American River Parkway.
Outside of these areas,
wayfinding signage within
the City is sporadic.
In early 2016, as part of the
Grid 3.0 planning effort, the
City launched an update
to the existing signage
within Downtown and
Midtown. In addition to
wayfinding signage directed
at vehicles and pedestrians,
Grid 3.0 also includes a

strategy to supplement
the wayfinding program
with signage directed
specifically at those traveling
by bicycle. This signage
would be installed along
key bicycle routes within
the Central City, directing
bicyclists to key districts and
destinations along these
routes. This system will limit
redundancy with existing
and planned vehicular and
pedestrian wayfinding
signage since these
signs are visible to those
traveling by bicycle, and the
program will therefore be
concentrated along routes
with lower amounts of
motor vehicle traffic. This
approach will limit sign
saturation and result in
a higher focus on bicycle
signage near gateways
to/from the Central City.
Implementation of this
program will take place in
phases, with installation of
signage along corridors with
future bicycle improvement
projects occurring after
improvements are
constructed.
Bike Share
In 2013, SMAQMD
completed a Bike Share
Business Plan, which
evaluated the feasibility
of a regional bike share
system and identified
preliminary station
locations in Sacramento,
West Sacramento, and
Davis. Recently, SACOG
has been identified as the
responsible agency for
furthering planning and
procurement efforts for the
regional bike share system.
Tentatively, SACOG expects
to implement pilot bike
share stations in downtown
Sacramento in late 2016.

CalEnviroScreen2.0: The
CalEnviroScreen2.0 score
was developed by the
California Environmental
Protection Agency to help
disadvantaged communities
for cap-and-trade funding.
It provides statewide
scoring metrics at a census
tract level, including
environmental and social
economic disparities
ranging from drinking
water contaminants
to air pollution. The
CalEnviroScreen2.0 score
was mapped at the census
tract level for the City of
Sacramento. The results
show that the highest
disparities are located
south of Broadway along
the Sacramento River,
neighborhoods around
Florin Perkins Road, and
northern Sacramento near
Del Paso Boulevard. (CALEPA,
latest update, August 2014).

Bike to Work: Percentage of

households that bicycle to
work (ACS 5-year composite
2013 data) was mapped at
a census tract level to help
identify where people are
already bicycling within the
City and where to prioritize
new or enhanced facilities.
Neighborhoods along
Stockton Boulevard and
Freeport Boulevard and
within East Sacramento
and Midtown all show high
ridership in ranges above
20 percent of households
bicycling to work.

Non-Auto Ownership:
Non-auto ownership was
mapped at the census tract
level to identity areas with
higher levels of people who
ride for utilitarian trips (i.e.,
non-recreational riders). For
example, neighborhoods
along Stockton Boulevard
south of Fruitridge Road
show about 10 percent of
households with non-auto
ownership. (ACS 5-year

Between 2006 and 2013,

the frequency of collisions
decreased in the Downtown
and Midtown areas. The
analysis does not show
the same decrease in the
neighborhoods outside
of the core. Most of the

LAND USES THAT ATTRACT

BICYCLE RIDERS
In addition to the equity analysis, an understanding of the land uses and destinations that
encourage bicycling is required to identify areas with latent demand for bicycling. While the City
has recently promoted mixed use development, most of the City historically developed around
more traditional land use patterns; dividing commercial and residential uses.
Creating low stress
bicycle connections from
residential neighborhoods
to employment centers and
retail corridors is essential to
increasing ridership and safety.
These employment centers
and retail corridors provide
access to jobs, restaurants,
bars, and music venues, which
attract riders day and night.

A complete bicycle network

suggests less stressful routes to
schools. Elementary and high
schools are broadly distributed
in every Sacramento
neighborhood and major
education destinations such as
Sacramento City College and
Sacramento State (CSUS) draw
riders from across the region.
Neighborhood, city, and
regional parks also serve as
major attractors of bicycle
activity. Connections to the
American River Parkway
and an expansion of the
Sacramento River Parkway
should be considered as
backbone improvements for
a City-wide low stress bicycle
network. Every neighborhood
park should be accessible
via low stress bikeways
toallowaccess ballparks,
playgrounds, community
gardens, and gathering spaces.

COMMUNITY
OUTREACH
PUBLIC OUTREACH
Preparation of the Bicycle Master Plan

included an outreach program that informed
and engaged the community, including an
extensive outreach effort to under represented
communities that evaluated equitable
distribution of facilities throughout the City.
Community members participated in the
process through stakeholder meetings, a
series of traveling workshops, presentations
to community-based organizations, and an
online tool to map bicycle parking facilities.
The workshop formats, presentations,
and information gathering were designed
around the Five Es, including Education,
Encouragement, Engineering, Evaluation, and
Enforcement.

Stakeholder Meeting #1
On January 12, 2016, the
BMP project team held a
stakeholder meeting to
provide information about
the current BMP, identify
tasks for the 2016 update,
discuss community outreach
efforts, review and comment
on proposed improvements,
and identify gaps in the
Citys current Bicycle Master
Plan. After discussing the
project and community
outreach process,
stakeholders were invited to
review maps of the existing
and proposed bikeways
within the City limits and
provide feedback on difficult
intersections, gaps in the
bicycle network, and unsafe
bike routes.
Traveling Workshops
To engage the public and
receive valuable input from
community members, the
project team coordinated
and facilitated a series of
traveling workshops at well
attended community events
and popular community
destinations from January
through March 2016. The
workshops took place

Center (March 16, 2016)
Project team members
provided information about
the BMP to community
members, and gathered
feedback from participants
of all ages through several
different interactive
activities. The activities and
their objectives included:
Map Exercise: A map of
Sacramento showing
currently proposed
bicycle improvements
was displayed.
Community members
placed different colored
dots on the map to
indicate a gap in the
bicycle network, a
difficult intersection, an
unsafe bicycle route, a
need for bicycle parking,
or another barrier to
bicycling.
Survey: A short twoquestion survey asked

participants where they
currently ride their bicycle
and where they would
like to ride their bicycle.
Alternate Commute
Exercise: Community
members could use an
online map application
to identify how long
their commute to work
or school is by car, and
compare it to commuting
by bicycle. The differences
in distance and time
demonstrated whether or
not the person could take
their trip by bike instead
of by car.
Key Improvements
Exercise: Participants were
prompted to answer the
question, I would ride
my bike more often if...
on post-it notes. These
answers were placed
on a board with other
participant responses.

Presentations to
Community-Based
Organizations
Several community-based
organizations reached out
to the project team and
requested that individual
presentations be made to
their groups. The project
team presented information
about the project, answered
questions, and provided
surveys to 10 community
groups from January
through March 2016.

of this meeting was to
provide an update on the
project and its next steps,
review the data collected
from the bike parking
inventory online tool,
present results from the
equity analysis performed,
review ways to improve
bicycling conditions,
review feedback received
from the community, and

ENHANCING
THE SYSTEM
ENHANCING THE SYSTEM
An improved Sacramento bicycle

network requires that bicycle facilities
be analyzed and evaluated as a
coherent system and not solely as
individual segments. To increase safety
and ridership, a cohesive network
of bikeways should be created to
accommodate riders of varying
abilities. Direct commute routes need
to be established to create efficient
routes for riders that value ease of use
and commute time. Routes designed
around eliminating common conflicts
should be established to accommodate
less confident riders.

Off-street bikeways:
Off-street bikeways are
paved bike paths (also
known as Class I bikeways)
for the use of bicycle riders
and pedestrians while
prohibiting motorized
vehicles. Off-street
bikeways include some
wide sidewalks where the
bicyclists and pedestrians
share the sidewalk. Offstreet bikeways may include
overcrossing structures,
as shown to the right, to
facilitate the crossing of
certain barriers such as
freeways, large arterial
roadways, railroad tracks,
and rivers.
Bike paths along the
American and Sacramento
Rivers are a key element and
backbone for the regions
bicycle networks.
The lack of motor vehicles
on bike paths appeal to the
widest audience.
On-Street Bikeways
On-street bikeways consist
of a combination of signage
and street markings to
indicate a bike lane or a
bike route. These bikeways
are intended to provide
accessibility to destinations
to the same degree as is
provided to motorized
modes of transportation.
The most common on-street
bikeway is a bike lane (also
known as a Class II bikeway),
40
which is a dedicated space

on the roadway for bicyclists
to travel in the same
direction as the adjacent
travel lanes.
Bike lanes can be enhanced
by increasing the separation
from the traveled lane or
parking lane with a painted
buffer. Buffered bike lanes
can be a cost effective way
to increase rider safety.
The buffered bike lane also
provides space for riders
to pass another bicyclist
without having to the
encroach into the adjacent
lane. Most commonly
buffers are added to the
left of the bike lane to
create separation between
automobiles moving at high
speeds. By adding the buffer
to the right of bike lane, the
rider will be encouraged
to ride outside of the door
zone in areas with high
turnover on-street parking.
Finally, the painted buffer
provides greater space
for people who ride bikes
without making the bike
lane appear too wide and be
mistaken for an automobile
lane.
The second most common
on-street bikeway is a bike
route, also known as a Class
III bikeway. It is a roadway
that is shared among
bicyclists and vehicles with a
roadside sign indicating that
it is a bike route. Many bike
Grade Separated Crossing for an Off-Street Bikeway

routes also add a shared
lane marking (sharrow) on
the pavement. Bike routes
are most applicable on
low volume, low speed
roadways.
Bike routes can also be
further enhanced to create
bicycle boulevards. Bike
boulevards connect key
destinations along corridors
that have managed low
traffic volume and speeds,
intersection priority, and
signing and marking
treatments that distinguish
it from other streets.
M Street through East
Sacramento connecting the
urban core to Sacramento
State (CSUS) and the
American River Parkway is
an example of a fledgling
bicycle boulevard in
Sacramento.
or directly adjacent to the

roadway. The key feature
of a separated bikeway
is a vertical element that
provides further separation
from motor vehicle traffic.
Pedestrians are prohibited
in a separated bikeway
and require a parallel
sidewalk or path. Separated
bikeways can be one-way
on each side of the roadway
similar to a bike lane, or
can be two-way. Common
vertical elements used for
separation can be a vertical
curb, painted buffer with
flexible post, parked cars,
landscape area, or fixed
barrier. Sacramento is
developing the first major
separated bikeway on North
12th Street in the River
District.
The newest type of bikeway

being implemented is the
separated bikeway or cycle
track referred to by Caltrans
as a Class IV bikeway. A
separated bikeway is an
exclusive facility for bicycle
riders that is located within

The goal of this Guideline
is to provide staff a
framework to implement
low stress bikeways that are
comfortable for all ages and
abilities by using the posted

to help identify which

This is only a guide and

site specific factors should
be considered when
determining the appropriate

GRID 3.0
A key strategy identified in
the plan involves restriping
multiple roadways to
accomplish the following
objectives:

recently undertook a
comprehensive effort
to plan the future of the
Central Citys system
of gridded streets. This
multi-year stakeholderdriven process identified
a vision for an improved
downtown transportation
network, known as Grid 3.0.
Grid 3.0 will optimize the
Central Citys transportation
network for all travel modes
motor vehicles, transit,
bicycles, and pedestrians- in
order to position the Grid
to accommodate future
growth in travel demand.
Establish a more
complete Low Stress
Bicycle Network
The resulting preferred
bicycle network from
Grid 3.0 is shown below.
Implementation of this
network over the next
20 years will result in the
following bicycle-related
investments within the
Central City:
The BMP update

incorporates the investment
strategy identified as part
of Grid 3.0, and these future
facilities are reflected in the
map of proposed bicycle
facilities included as part
of this update to the plan.
The inclusion of the Grid
3.0 recommendations has
afforded this update to focus
its outreach and analysis on
the outlying areas of the City
of Sacramento.

A number of proposed
projects likely face
significant implementation
challenges and require
evaluation to determine
their viability. The projects
listed below are recommend
as focus areas to study
feasibility:
Sheldon Rd

Focus Areas
BUFFERED & SEPARATED

BIKEWAY CONSIDERATIONS
In addition to further
evaluation of these off-street
facilities, the City should
expand the focus to include
consideration of buffered
bike lanes and separated
bikeways for parallel onstreet facilities. The following
considerations matrix
serves as a tool for City staff
and community members
to evaluate roadways for
bikeway enhancements.
Criteria are related to the

quantity and characteristics
of adjacent motor vehicle
traffic. Multilane roadways
with high speeds and high
volumes of automobiles
and/or trucks are most
applicable for candidate
bikeway improvements.
Corridors with very short
blocks and frequent
intersections and driveways
EXISTING BIKEWAYS
ENHANCING
THE SYSTEM
It should be noted that no

single criteria in the matrix
should be used to qualify or
reject a facility for buffered
or protected improvements.
All of the criteria should be
considered holistically with
an understanding of the
present and future context
of the roadway being
considered.
SEPERATED

should be considered
carefully and may be less
applicable because of
the multiple breaks the
bikeways and increased
turning conflicts. Roadway
corridors that have
excessively wide lanes and
shoulders or extra rightof-way may be excellent
corridors for early adoption
of buffered and protected
facilities, as right-of-way
acquisition may not be
required.
Criteria related to the
existing or projected active
transportation users on
Corridors where bus stops

and loading zones enable
motor vehicles to block
the standard bike lane may
benefit from a separated
facility. High turnover onstreet parking is another
condition that can benefit
from a separated bikeway,
removing a common
conflict found with standard
bike lanes. Care should
be given to address ADA
accessibility at bus stops
and accessible parking near
enhanced bikeway facilities.
the corridor should be

considered. Corridors with
high rates of bicycle-related
collisions and pedestrian
conflicts may benefit from
a dedicated facility solely
for bicycle use. Anticipated
high volumes of vulnerable
users such as children and
seniors due to the proximity
to schools, parks, and senior
residential uses may warrant
additional investment
in enhanced facilities.
Separated bikeways are
often used as on-street
facilities to connect or
extend existing off-street
paths.
Lastly, to discourage wrongway or sidewalk riding

on one-way streets and
improve access, a twoway cycle track could be
implemented to provide
more direct access for
bicycle riders. This was a
major contributing factor
for the development of the
North 12th Street separated
two-way bikeway.

BIKE PARKING
RECOMMENDATIONS
The City of Sacramento should develop Bicycle Parking
Design Guidelines that include design specifications for
bicycle racks and placement standards. City-funded and
privately-funded bike rack installations shall conform to the
Bike Parking Design Guidelines.
STREET DESIGN STANDARDS

RECOMMENDATIONS
The City of Sacramento should update its Street Design
Standards to include a policy to consider bike lanes on
residential streets at parks and schools.
WAYFINDING
RECOMMENDATIONS
EXISTING BIKEWAYS
ENHANCING
THE SYSTEM
Bikeway wayfinding not only helps communicate identified

bike routes through the City, it can promote bicycling by
educating people about distance, direction and estimated
time to bike to key activity centers. The City should develop
bikeway specific wayfinding guidelines, informed by NACTO
guidance, and implement as funding allows.

IMPLEMENTATION
The Transportation Programming Guide (TPG) is
a comprehensive document that prioritizes the
Citys transportation projects every two years. The
guide is used to provide the City Council with the
background information needed to make strategic
decisions about which projects to fund.
Transportation projects are ranked according
to criteria that are reflective of the Citys current
policies and priorities. Examples of criteria include
congestion, public safety, economic, and infill
development, along with cost.
Potential projects are scored and ranked in each of
the following transportation program areas:

planning documents and policies have been taken into consideration during the
development of the BMP:
City Planning
Regional Planning
2010 Sacramento City/County Bikeway Master Plan
The Sacramento City/County Bikeway Master Plan has
been an ongoing effort between the City of Sacramento
and Sacramento County to coordinate and develop a
regional bicycle network that benefits both commuting
and recreational bicyclists. The plan was first adopted in
1975 as the regions first standalone bikeway master plan,
and has subsequently been updated and revised over the
past forty years to accommodate changes in population,
2030 Sacramento County General Plan

The 2030 Sacramento County General Plan has a stated
goal to provide safe, continuous, efficient, integrated, and
accessible bicycle and pedestrian systems that encourages
the use of the bicycle and walking as a viable transportation
mode and as a form of recreation and exercise. Specific
policies in the plan include developing a comprehensive
and accessible bicycle system, implementing and
updating the Sacramento City/County Bicycle Master Plan,
constructing and maintaining bicycle facilities that minimize
conflicts with pedestrians and motorists, and collaborating
with neighboring jurisdictions and regional agencies to
coordinate the planning and development of the Countys
bicycle network.
APPENDIX A
2035 City of Sacramento General Plan

The City of Sacramentos 2035 General Plan recognizes
the importance of developing a first class, multi-modal
transportation network that includes supporting short- and
long-distance bicycle trips. Goal M 5.1 outlines policies for
an integrated bicycle system that encourages bicycling
and achieves the Citys goals for bicycle mode share as
documented in previous planning documents. Specific
policies and goals in the General Plan include updating
and maintaining the BMP (this document), providing a
continuous bikeway network throughout the City, improving
bicycle routes to minimize conflicts with pedestrians
and motorists, supporting bicycle connections to new
developments, converting underused facilities to bicycle
routes, and promoting bicycling education and safety to the
public.
design standards, and public policy. The document includes

regional goals for bicycling, design standards, an inventory of
existing bicycle facilities, recommendations for future bicycle
facilities, and implementation strategies. The plan was last
approved by the City of Sacramento in March of 2011.
2016 MTP/SCS
The Metropolitan Transportation Plan / Sustainable
Communities Strategy (MTP/SCS) is a regional document
that links land use, air quality, and transportation needs. The
plan incorporates regional transportation planning with an
emphasis on policies and strategies that reduce greenhouse
gas emissions to meet requirements set by the California Air
Resources Board. The MTP/SCS recognizes the importance
of bicycling to meet these goals, and envisions a larger and
more complete bicycle network in the region.

Statewide Planning
California Global Warming Solution Act of 2006 (AB 32)
The California Global Warming Solution Act of 2006 requires
California to reduce its Greenhouse Gas Emissions to 1990
levels by the year 2020. The act requires the California Air
Resources Board to develop a Scoping Plan, updated every
five years, that lays out Californias strategy for meeting the
goal. One of the key recommendations in the Scoping Plan
is to promote more travel and housing options through
greater access to active forms of transportation including
bicycling.
Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of
2008 (SB 375)
The Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act
of 2008 is a direct result of the California Global Warming
Solution Act of 2006 and requires that all Metropolitan
Planning Organizations include a Sustainable Communities
Strategy in their Metropolitan Transportation Plan. These
plans integrate transportation, housing, and land-use
plans for a region in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions. In Sacramento, the Sacramento Area Council of
Governments (SACOG) is the regional MPO and has made
the inclusion of active transportation projects a priority for
the region to reduce emission levels.
Protected Bikeways Act of 2014 (AB 1193)

The Protected Bikeways Act of 2014 recognizes Class IV
protected bikeways as a legal bicycle facility and requires
Caltrans to establish and maintain minimum safety design
criteria for their planning and construction. Caltrans
subsequently published Design Information Bulletin
Number 89 with design guidelines for local agencies.
Collectively, these documents provide the legal groundwork
for the implementation of Class IV bikeways in the State of
California.
California State Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan
In 2014, Caltrans released the Complete Street
Implementation Action Plan 2.0 in an effort to integrate
complete street functionality into all of Caltrans projects.
One of the action items resulting from this document
was the California State Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan which
is currently being drafted. This document will guide the
planning and development of non-motorized facilities on
State facilities. The plan will include recommendations for
improving connections between the States bicycle facilities
with the existing and planned network of local and regional
bicycle routes.
APPENDIX B
Complete Streets Act of 2008 (AB 1358)

The Complete Streets Act of 2008 requires that all Cities and
Counties upon any substantive revision of the circulation
element of the general plan, modify the circulation
element to plan for a balanced, multimodal transportation
network that meets the needs of all users of streets, roads,
and highways, defined to include motorists, pedestrians,
bicyclists, children, persons with disabilities, seniors, movers
of commercial goods, and users of public transportation,
in a manner that is suitable to the rural, suburban, or urban
context of the general plan. The City of Sacramento has
incorporated this in act in their most recent General Plan
including this Bicycle Master Plan.
Actuated Traffic Signals (AB 1581)

Assembly Bill 1581 was approved in 2012 and requires that
all projects constructing new actuated traffic signals or
modifying existing traffic signals include technology that
has the ability to detect bicyclists and motorcyclists. It also
calls for the timing of actuated traffic signals to account for
bicycles.
