Projects to install bike lanes include widening of the street if necessary. Bicycle projects recommended for funding with TDA funds must meet the following requirements established by SANDAG: 1. The project must be included in an adopted regional, county, city, or community plan; 2. If the project abuts other jurisdictions, it must be shown on the adopted plans of the adjacent jurisdiction; 3. Other sources of funding for cooperative projects must be identified; 4. Projects must follow CALTRANS Bike Route Standards from the CALTRANS Highway Design Planual. The projects will also be subject to the following criteria: 1. Elimination of problem areas on routes which would provide relatively safe • travel use; 2. Service to high activity centers; 3. Connection to and continuity of longer routes; 4. Identification of local effort in providing pedestrian and bicycle routes. 5. Development in conjunction with adopted scenic highways route. Each submittal includes a checklist addressing the above criteria. In 1983 the Bicycle Route Facilities Report was revised and adopted as an update to the Bike Element of the City's General Plan. The report recommended locations for installation of bicycle lanes and routes based on the City's needs and SANDAG's requirements for bicycle facilities projects. The proposed bicycle lanes and route installation projects are included in the recommendations of the subject report. A project for acquisition of 30 bicycle lockers is included in the submittals. The lockers will be installed at the "E" Street, "H" Street and Palomar Street trolley stations, and the Civic Center. A recent bicycle locker use survey prepared by SANDAG indicates these locations are near, or at, 100 percent utilization. Therefore, it is necessary to install additional lockers to accommodate existing and anticipated demand. • • • Also included is a claim to perform a Facilities Report.
