DRAFT Alameda Active Transportation Plan
Appendix G: Active Transportation Project
Prioritization
SUMMARY OF PRIORITIZATION
PROCESS
The priority projects included in the 2030 Infrastructure Plan list were selected through a two-step process.
First, all capital project recommendations from the Pedestrian Network, Bicycle Network and Trails Network chapters were scored and ranked using a data-driven evaluation process, explained in detail further below in this Appendix. The results of this prioritization process are intended to help reveal a project’s ability to meet Plan goals, independent of other factors such as cost, coordination with other efforts, etc.
The bicycle project prioritization criteria were applied to both the bicycle and trail recommended projects. The scoring criteria gave the highest weight to safety, creating a connected and low stress network, and equity.
Criteria also included trip potential for each project, based on a data-driven evaluation of city streets with the highest potential for bicycle trips.
The pedestrian prioritization criteria were applied differently than that for bicycling since the pedestrian network is the entire city. All public streets were scored, by segment, with the heaviest weight going toward safety, access to schools, and equity. Other criteria included access to transit, parks, libraries and commercial areas.
Almost all of the projects and street segments that ranked “high” through either the bicycle or pedestrian prioritization analyzes have been included in the 2030 Infrastructure Plan list. Other included projects were ranked “medium.” In some cases, projects and street segments were ranked high for both walking and biking, such as along Park Street and Webster Street, illustrating a strong need for improvements and investments.
Second, the resulting high-ranking projects were assessed using more qualitative knowledge and expertise. The overall goals of this planning effort, including creating a connected, low-stress network that eliminates the many gaps in the existing bikeway network, was considered. The City considered the current construction and planning efforts underway that will continue to require staffing and funding resources. Projects that were not evaluated using the data-driven prioritization process were considered, such as the need for maintenance, including trail maintenance, and improving water crossings and access to them. Community priorities were also considered, as they have been expressed throughout this planning process, and others that have occurred over the past three years. Finally, known opportunities, professional judgement, funding and feasibility were layered in, to develop the 2030 Infrastructure Plan.
While a thorough process was conducted, over the next eight years, new opportunities may arise through other processes such as new development, repaving projects, or funding opportunities, and a lower-ranked project may become ripe for implementation.

PRIORITIZATION METHODOLOGY
OVERVIEW
A data-driven prioritization process was the first input used to guide the selection of priority bicycle, pedestrian and trail capital projects for investments in the coming years. All projects or street segments were objectively scored and ranked, based on the plan’s goals. These prioritization results will continue to be used in the future to help select street or trail segments for prioritization of improvements, such as for pedestrian crossing improvements or trail maintenance. The outputs of these prioritization processes are only one factor that were, or will be, used for final project selection.
T
he prioritization criteria were categorized by four of the five plan goals: Safety, Equity, Connectivity and Comfort, and Mode Shift. (The Community goal was not included since it addresses programs, and not capital projects.) There is some overlap in what each criterion is measuring. The overall weight for each goal is the highest number of points possible, based on the sum of the criteria scores under that goal. The point values for each criterion are based on weights that reflect the Plan’s vision statement, City policies, City staff input, feedback received during public engagement activities completed for the Plan, and those used in other, similar plans from cities in California.
The sections below present the criteria used for the bicycle/trail and pedestrian/trail networks prioritization analysis, maps of the results of the analysis, and detailed project lists with individual project or street rankings.
PEDESTRIAN NETWORK
PRIORITIZATION
The criteria in Table 1 were applied to all public street segments in the city of Alameda, which almost all include pedestrian facilities of some type, plus all walkways and shared-use trails. The results of applying these criteria are illustrated, ranked by high, medium and low score ranges, in Figure 1. Those street segments/trails that scored “High” (from 60 to 110 points) are listed in Table 2.
Alameda Active Transportation Plan Active Transportation Project List | 4 Prioritization criteria for the pedestrian network are shown in Table 1. These criteria were used to prioritize streets for pedestrian improvements since specific pedestrian projects were not identified as part of the Plan. The results of the pedestrian network prioritization approach will be used to identify opportunities for pedestrian crossing improvements and locations where the City can prioritize installing the pedestrian treatments in the treatment matrix.

BICYCLE NETWORK PRIORITIZATION
The criteria in Table 3 were applied to all of the proposed bicycle facilities included as part of the Bicycle Vision Network, including shared-used trails. Refer to Chapter 5: Bicycle Network in the Active Transportation Plan (ATP) for a map of the network. The results of applying these criteria are illustrated, ranked by high, medium and low score ranges, in Figure 2. All of the proposed bicycle projects included in the Bicycle Vision Network are listed in Table 4, with their Prioritization Ranking, proposed bikeway type, estimated cost and lead agency.
Note that existing bikeways and projects planned for construction by 2024 were not scored using this prioritization analysis, since they are completed or funded and underway. In addition, water crossing projects (e.g., bridges) are a high priority for the City because of the important regional connections these facilities provide, regardless of the prioritization score these projects received during this phase of the analysis.
Table 3. Bicycle Network Prioritization Criteria
Criteria Measure Description Points
Goal: Increase Mode Share Highest Number of Points Possible 15 Bicycle Trip

Table Notes:
* These projects are already planned for construction.
** Proposed Bikeway Type was changed after Prioritization was completed. + These projects will be built by private developers.
CS These projects align with the highest ranking street segments identified in the pedestrian network prioritization process, and therefore have Complete Streets potential.
Cost estimates: The costs listed are high-l evel estimates, and actual construction costs will vary based on local conditions. The Cost Estimates section and Table 6: Bikeway Cost Estimates, provide a detailed explanation of how estimates were derived, and serve as the basis for these total estimated costs.

TRAIL NETWORK PRIORITIZATIO N
All of the proposed off-street trail projects included in Chapter 6: Trails Network and Water Crossings in the Alameda ATP were ranked, using the bicycle network criteria shown in Table 3. The ranking results are mapped in Figure 2, with the other proposed bikeway projects. The trail projects are listed in Table 5, with their Prioritization Rank, estimated cost and lead agency. Note that these projects are also included in Table 4.
These projects are intended to be constructed either as shared-u se paths (Class I) or separate but parallel walking and bicycling paths if there is adequate space and need.

OVERLAPPING PRIORITIES
Five corridors or street segments were ranked high in both the pedestrian and bicycle prioritization analyzes. These locations would benefit from improvements to both the walking and bicycling networks and are therefore good opportunities for Complete Streets projects. Complete Streets are streets designed to enable safe travel for people traveling by any mode, including people walking, bicycling, riding transit or driving. The locations are:
1. Webster Street from Central Avenue to Atlantic Avenue
2. Oak Street from Buena Vista Avenue to Lincoln Avenue
3. Oak Street from Santa Clara Avenue to Encinal Avenue
4. Park Street from Blanding Avenue to Shoreline Drive
5. Lincoln Avenue from Park St to Oak Street.
COST ESTIMATES
Tables 6 and 7 list the estimated per mile costs to install the types of bicycle facilities and pedestrian treatments included in the ATP. These are high-level estimates, and actual costs will vary based on local conditions. Costs are order-of-magnitude, planning-level estimates based on bid tabulations for recent, similar project types. They include soft costs (engineering, surveying, permitting, project management, and inspection) as well as work required for implementation. Planning-level cost estimates do not take into consideration localized specifics of each project such as right-of-way acquisition, significant utility Alameda Active Transportation Plan Active Transportation Project List | 22 relocation, etc. They are useful for aggregate-level budget planning, but individual project costs estimates will change as projects advance through further study and design.
These cost estimates will be updated over time to better reflect current cost realities.
