Title
Castro Street Bikeway Feasibility Study, Project 17-53
Recommended Action
Receive information on the Castro Street Bikeway Feasibility Study concept drawings and provide the following recommendations to the City Council:
1. For the Castro Street/Church Street intersection, approve the Short-/Medium-Term Alternative 2 (no changes for the intersection) and the Long-Term Alternative 2 (continuing the bike lanes through the Church Street intersection by studying options for a pedestrian scramble or converting to a roundabout).
2. Approve Short-/Medium-Term Alternative 2 for the Castro Street segment from Yosemite Avenue to California Street, which calls for providing bike lanes where possible and converting angled parking to parallel parking, except for the Castro Street/Church Street intersection recommendation.
3. Approve the Long-Term Alternative 2 for the Castro Street segment from Yosemite Avenue to California Street, which calls for providing additional bike lanes by narrowing the median 5’ where needed, moving the cork oak trees within the median in the short term to prepare for future narrowing of the median, and studying options for a pedestrian scramble or converting to a roundabout at the Castro Street/Mercy Street intersection, except the recommendation for the Castro Street/Church Street intersection.
