The project will enhance the safety of existing Class II bikeway facilities on De Anza Boulevard between Bollinger Road and Homestead Road by narrowing existing travel lanes and installing a painted buffer zone to separate the Class II bike lanes from the vehicle lanes.
De Anza Blvd is a major north-south principle arterial across Cupertino, a designated truck route along most of its length, and has a posted speed limit of 35 mph. Currently, standard Class II bike lanes exist along both directions of De Anza Boulevard, and no buffer zone exists to increase the separation between bicycle and vehicle traffic.
Outside of the City’s jurisdiction south of Bollinger Road, buffered bike lanes exist on both sides of the roadway.
Construction of buffered bicycle lanes including removal of existing striping and installation of a painted buffer zone to increase separation between bicycles and vehicles.
