The Tort Claims Act (Government Code Section 810 et seq.) provides that no suit for money or damages may be brought against the City unless a claim has been timely presented to the City. The general claim procedures are governed by the provisions of Chapter 1 of Division 3.6 of the Government Code of the State of California, commencing with Section 900 and following.

The time periods and procedures for presenting a claim set forth in this chapter are intended to apply to all claims excluded by the Act, or not expressly governed by statute, including claims which currently exist, whether or not they have been presented to the City. This chapter is not intended to extinguish existing claims without providing a reasonable period for the presentation of those claims.

It is the intent of this chapter that all claims and demands against the City for damages or money not otherwise governed by the Tort Claims Act, California Government Code Section 900 et seq., or another state law, shall be presented within the time and in the manner as if the time and manner had been prescribed in Division

3.6 of Title 1 of the California Government Code (commencing with Section 900 thereof).

As of the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter, its provisions shall be applicable to any claim described in this chapter not otherwise time-barred. If the application of the time periods established by this chapter would extinguish an existing claim which is not otherwise time-barred, then the date by which that claim must be presented to the City shall be the sooner of:

A. The date any applicable claims period would have expired; or B. Six months after the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter for claims described in the first sentence of Government Code Section 911.2 or one year after the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter for claims described in the second sentence of that section. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to extend the time for the presentation of any claim, which time was established by statute, ordinance, or other law in effect prior to the adoption of the ordinance codified in this chapter.

3.42.040 Appeals.

Any person aggrieved by any decision regarding a claim they file against the City shall be required to comply with the appeal procedure of this section.

B. Within 20 days from receipt of the appeal notice, the matter shall be set for hearing.

The appellant shall be served with notice of the time and place of the hearing as well as any relevant materials at least five days prior to the time of the hearing.

D. Nothing in this provision is deemed to circumvent or supersede the provisions of Government Code Section 900 et seq. If the claim is subject to time constraints which the claimant believes would preclude usage of this appeal section, the claimant must provide the City with notice of its refusal to utilize the appeal process, so that the City may have an opportunity to determine if it is willing to waive any time constraints which cause the claimant concern. If the City fails to issue written response within two weeks, the claimant may proceed to enforce its claim in superior court without a response from the City.

E. Nothing in this appeal section permits a claimant to file a claim or action on behalf of a class or group unless done so in accordance to the requirements established by this chapter.

38 CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT ITEM NO. 5.4
DATE: October 14, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Brent Smith, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Resolution finding the Livermore Active Transportation Plan - 2024 Interim Update is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act and approving the Livermore Active Transportation Plan – 2024 Interim Update.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
Planning Commission and staff recommend the City Council adopt a resolution finding the Livermore Active Transportation Plan – 2024 Interim Update is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act and approving the Livermore Active Transportation Plan – 2024 Interim Update, which contains information on projects completed since 2018 and updated cost estimates.

SUMMARY
The City of Livermore (City) is a recipient of state and federal grants. In order to continue to receive these grants the City is required to have a Bicycle, Pedestrian, & Trails Active Transportation Plan (ATP).

The City’s ATP was adopted in 2018 and typically the ATP plan is updated every 5 years. To remain compliant with state and federal grants, an interim update to the 2018 ATP is necessary. A comprehensive update to the ATP will commence after the General Plan is adopted in early 2026.

Adopting the Livermore Active Transportation Plan – 2024 Interim Update will allow the City to continue to apply for future grants and comply with grant requirements.

DISCUSSION
The City of Livermore is a recipient of state and federal funds from a variety of sources, including but not limited to Alameda County Transportation Commission, Metropolitan Transportation Commission, California State Parks, California Department of Transportation, and Federal Highway Administration.

In November 2023, the City tasked DKS Associates to prepare the interim update to the 2018 Bicycle, Pedestrian, & Trails Active Transportation Plan (Exhibit A). Staff and consultants (project team) reviewed essential information in the 2018 ATP and focused on data that had changed since the adoption of the 2018 ATP. The key changes involve the considerable progress that has been made to improve the active 39 transportation network citywide since the plan was adopted in 2018. The City has completed over 100 projects that contribute to a safer and lower stress active transportation network. Projects completed include the following: Improved 16.4 miles of Class II bikeways with buffers, 0.6 miles of new Class IV Separate Bike Lanes, 1.7 miles of new Class II bicycle lanes, 1.8 miles of new Class III Bicycle Boulevards, improved accessible ramps at 67 locations, and improved pedestrian crossings at 34 locations. Bike involved crashes have been reduced by 18% and pedestrian involved crashes have been reduced by 6% compared to the five-year total previously reported.

The project team also reviewed and updated the project costs to 2024 dollars. The 2024 estimated project cost is approximately $260,000,000, an increase of approximately $76,000,000 since 2018.

This interim update to the ATP is intended to be used in conjunction with the 2018 ATP until a comprehensive update to the ATP is completed after the General Plan is adopted in early 2026.

As part of the stakeholder outreach, an administrative draft copy of the Interim ATP Update was circulated to the stakeholders and community groups for comments. In addition, the City conducted a virtual public workshop on April 25, 2024, to showcase the Interim ATP Update, provide information on completed and upcoming projects, answer questions and solicit comments from the greater Livermore community.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT
The proposed action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Sections 15378 and 15061(b)(3) because approval of the Livermore Active Transportation Plan (ATP) – Interim Update does not meet CEQA's definition of a "project" since it does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Likewise, the project does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The Livermore ATP – Interim Update is exempt under Guidelines Section 15262, since it is a planning study for possible future actions which have not been approved, adopted, or funded and does not require the preparation of an EIR or negative declaration. Any future project that results from the Livermore ATP – Interim Update will have its own analysis for compliance with CEQA.

PLANNING COMMISION
On June 4, 2024, the City of Livermore Planning Commission discussed and recommended City Council action on the ATP Interim Update (see attached minutes--Attachment 3). Some Commission members expressed that the City should not wait to reconsider ATP policy, design, and priority changes until the General Plan Update is complete in early 2026; however, they did understand the purpose of this update was to ensure the City remains eligible for grants in the interim. Topics they discussed included getting better data to understand how many people use our trails and where they are going. Other topics included updating design standards to increase bike and pedestrian safety and comfort (e.g., raised crossings, flashing beacons, protected intersections, directed crosswalks, curb ramps, bulb outs, lighting, bathrooms, etc.). Additional comments focused on safer routes to schools, better connectivity now and in the future across I-580 to the Isabel Neighborhood Plan and to the downtown area, better integration of ATP policies and priorities into other City documents and programs, and more directed outreach to stakeholders.
40 The Planning Commission ultimately adopted Resolution 12-24 and Resolution 13-24 (attached as Attachments 1 and 2), recommending that the City Council finds that the Livermore Active Transportation Plan – 2024 Interim Update is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, and recommending approval of the Livermore Active Transportation Plan – 2024 Interim Update.

In addition, before the next comprehensive ATP update, the Planning Commission requested staff complete the following items:
update the ATP Design Guidelines,
consider advance funding to implement the Isabel Neighborhood Plan projects to create a safe bike route into town,

6.1 Consideration of the Livermore Active Transportation Plan - 2024 Interim Update
Recommendation:

Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt resolutions recommending that the City Council find that the interim update to the Livermore Active Transportation Plan is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act and approving the Livermore Active Transportation Plan – 2024 Interim Update.

Senior Transportation Engineer Joanna Liu, and Erin Vaca, DKS Associates, presented a PowerPoint explaining active transportation plans; purpose of the interim update; goals of the plan; types of bicycle and pedestrian improvements proposed in the plan; projects completed since 2018; strategies for opportunities; ATTACHMENT 3 Page 1 of 5
47 PLANNING COMMISSION Minutes JUNE 4, 2024
maps of existing and upcoming improvements; schedule and process towards adoption; and recommendations.

Commissioner Leary suggested additional strength be added to the design tool kit to include raised crossings, protected intersections, and traffic calming measures as ques to developers.

Commissioner Kronzak clarified that the Planning Commission was being asked to affirm that anything going into the ATP was exempt from CEQA. In response to Commissioner Kronzak, Acting Planning Manager Steve Riley explained the revision process following completion of the General Plan Update. Commissioner Kronzak requested consideration of public restrooms in planning for walkability and bikability. In response to Commissioner Kronzak, Senior Transportation Engineer Liu indicated the data did not specifically include airports and explained that the delay in the 580-crossing project was due to lack of funding and staffing.

Commissioner Kronzak requested inclusion of airport data and to begin focusing on the connection of Springtown to the rest of Livermore. Acting Planning Manager Riley clarified that the bulk of Las Colinas Trail was being built by the Lassen townhome developer and was well on its way. City staff stressed that staff was open to taking comments on policies and priorities for consideration in the comprehensive update.

In response to Commissioner Dunbar, Senior Transportation Engineer Liu explained the type of projects funded under Measure BB and Vehicle Registration Fees and that the flashing beacons on Arroyo Road were requested by the residents for enhanced safety. Commissioner Dunbar suggested keeping the other areas in need of beacons in mind. Acting Planning Manager Riley added that the City had just hired a grant consultant who would assist in finding and applying for grants. Commissioner Dunbar discussed his involvement in biking and expressed frustration with the delay of various items until 2026. He stated the vision was clear but wanted to focus on implementation in the plan. He requested a map including a vision of items other than opportunity improvements and invited the Commissioners to consider the highest priorities to accomplish and complete in the next couple years. He indicated his top issues were better connections east of Isabel, cross downtown route, and connection north of East Avenue through the Robert Livermore Community Center.

Vice Chair Fintschenko urged focus on connectivity to schools, trail safety, and public restrooms. She stated traffic accidents were the number one cause of death yet there was limited public input. She stated the proposed action was clearly CEQA exempt and recommended the plan indicate the number of registered and attendees and to add a URL link to the 2018 ATP prioritization. She suggested Table 9 include a statement that the projected costs did not reflect completed projects. Senior Transportation Engineer Liu explained the City’s practice since 2018 to buffer bike lanes and accessible ramps, which costs were not included in 2018 ATP. She explained implementation of the East Avenue Corridor Study.

Acting Planning Manager Riley mentioned the website containing information on the East Avenue Corridor pilot project and that recommendations would be made based on draft report. Vice Chair Fintschenko confirmed that the Vision Zero action ATTACHMENT 3 Page 2 of 5
48 JUNE 4, 2024 Minutes PLANNING COMMISSION
plan was not yet completed and would be incorporated in the General Plan update and ATP update. She discussed the goal of the ATP to encourage active transportation and asked the programming planned to reduce the need for families driving kids to school. Senior Transportation Engineer Liu discussed the City’s participation in the Alameda County Safe Routes to Schools and efforts to evaluate those programs. Vice Chair Fintschenko discussed dangerous biking in Livermore, especially bikes needing to turn left. Senior Transportation Engineer Liu explained that the design guidelines in the ATP included safety features for left turn bicyclists, and the City tried to implement those for Portola as part of the separated bike lane.

Vice Chair Fintschenko agreed with Commissioner Dunbar’s suggested priorities and reiterated concern about safely riding bikes to school.

Chair Anderson stressed the importance of biking and walking and frustration with the lack of current public participation. He expressed excitement about the hiring of a grant writer and stated the need for good projects to achieve the grants. He stated it was difficult to understand the school travel numbers and that the metric of usage would prove implemented tools. He discussed the decrease in biking to work; more collisions per bike trip since ATP adoption; and incomplete data. He recommended trying to find better usage data. He expressed concern with missed opportunities to include bulb outs and directional ramps and suggested the possibility of bulb outs on Jackson Avenue along Loyola. He agreed that focus on public restrooms was needed.

Commissioner Leary concurred with the need to work on school connectors.

Commissioner Kronzak suggested focusing on school connectivity; east - west connectivity; more money, time, and attention to build out connectivity across 580; and work on both bike and vehicle traffic at the Portola and North Livermore intersection.

Commissioner Dunbar reiterated frustration with the unclear priorities; unclear communication to the public and Commission about the process, requesting input when much could not be changed; missed opportunities and the need to ensure the design guidelines included the full range of options; and isolation of the document from the others. He presented lane blocks. He stressed his desire for wanting the following in the 2026 bike plan. He suggested dividing priority projects from opportunity projects; updating design guidelines; including a five-year, tenyear, and long-term vision; realistic outreach including status and achievable projects in the next five years. He suggested enabling existing paths with curb ramps. He suggested obtaining the resources necessary to complete the Isabel Neighborhood Specific Plan at one time; adding data to Google maps; bike racks at the schools; wider multi-use trails to adapt for e-bikes; and putting bike lanes closer to pedestrians. He discussed the ACTC 580 Multi-modal Study and suggested bus service stopping in Livermore. He summarized the suggestions to focus on schools; emergency beacons, lighting on trails; restrooms; updating the design guidelines; and focus on data collection. He suggested obtaining funding so the Isabel Neighborhood could be built out at one time and a bike trail as a secondary use in Springtown open space. He reiterated that he did not want to ATTACHMENT 3 Page 3 of 5
49 PLANNING COMMISSION Minutes JUNE 4, 2024
wait until 2026 for updated design guidelines.

Chair Anderson suggested ensuring staff was on the same page when doing outreach on the ATP and Vision Zero plan. He stated the overarching guideline was to view biking infrastructure along the lines of pedestrian infrastructure. He reiterated the need to gather more complete data. Commissioner Kronzak and Vice Chair Fintschenko expressed concern with burdening the update with data requirements. Acting Planning Manager Riley suggested the possibility of monitoring the Isabel ATP infrastructure after construction and obtaining bike and pedestrian data in development of traffic studies, with post completion studies funded by the City. Vice Chair Fintschenko summarized the data as determining the effectiveness of the strategies at increasing usage for active transportation, total usage, and surveys on where people were going or wanted to go.

ON THE MOTION OF COMMISSIONER DUNBAR, SECONDED BY
COMMISSIONER KRONZAK AND CARRIED ON A 5-0 VOTE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION ADOPTED THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTIONS:

Resolution 12-24 Recommending that the City Council find that The Livermore Active Transportation Plan – 2024 Interim Update is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act
Resolution 13-24 Recommending approval of the Livermore Active Transportation Plan – 2024 Interim Update
Directing staff to: 1) update the Design Guidelines; 2) consider advance funding to implement the Isabel neighborhood projects to create a safe bike route into town; 3) collect data in the Isabel neighborhood as part of the VMT mitigation as a pilot program on whether that data was useful and for how staff might gather it while trying to answer the question of how people were using the infrastructure and where people want to go; and 4) create of prioritization map with accomplishable items before the next ATP plan update.

FRIENDLY AMENDMENT
Vice Chair Fintschenko moved to add the number of attendees at the 2024 interim update to the ATP outreach to the interim update and to add the URL link to prioritization process in 2018 ATP on Page 51. The maker and seconder accepted the amendment.

Commissioner Dunbar noted the need to correct bike boulevards in the Project Accomplishments list, Exhibit A.

Chair Anderson requested bike lane striping on both sides of the bike lane to prevent parking in bike lanes, such as the RV on 7th.

I NTRODUCTION
The City of Livermore is dedicated to fostering a community where people can easily walk, bicycle, and access trails for transportation and recreation. To retain eligibility for grant funding, plans outlining this vision must be up to date and have been adopted within the previous five years. This document is therefore a refreshment and strategic update of the Livermore Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Trails Active Transportation Plan adopted in 2018. The city plans to conduct a full-scale active transportation update following the adoption of the Imagine Livermore 2045 General Plan, currently anticipated for early 2026.

The refreshed plan builds on the previous document through ensuring the relevance of the previous needs, challenges, and implementation strategies. While the Vision and Goals of the 2018 ATP are carried forward, Existing Conditions have been updated, as have key elements of the Needs Analysis, including health and safety. In addition, the status of previously recommended projects has been updated and new project needs identified through the recently adopted Local Road Safety Plan have been incorporated. Finally, the planning level cost estimates presented in the Implementation Strategy have been inflated to current year dollars.

Although the following chapters summarize essential information from the 2018 ATP, the emphasis is on data that has changed since the plan’s adoption. Further, it is not the intention for this interim update to take any credit for the extensive work that underlies the 2018 ATP. Therefore, the reader is directed to the 2018 ATP, available as Appendix C or at the City of Livermore website1 , for details on the
adopted Vision and Goals, the methodology of the Needs Analysis, and other topics that are not repeated in this interim update.

KEY FINDINGS
Since 2018, significant progress has been made towards the vision of a safer, low stress active transportation network that supports a flourishing walking, bicycling, and rolling City of Livermore.

The City of Livermore has completed over 100 projects that contribute to a safer and lower stress active transportation network since 2018. Following the approval of the last Active Transportation Plan (ATP) in 2018, over 22 miles of bikeway upgrades have improved the safety and connectivity of the bikeway network, the active transportation mode share for school trips has been increased by almost 5%, bike involved crashes have been reduced by 18%, and pedestrian involved crashes have been reduced by 6% compared to the five-year total previously reported2 .

EXISTING NETWORKS

ROADWAY NETWORK & MAJOR BARRIERS
Since 2018, infrastructure in Livermore has seen only incremental change. The roadway network in Livermore generally follows a traditional grid pattern in the city center and quickly expands outwards to residential, suburban cul-de-sacs with limited network connectivity. As a result, the few corridors that provide cross-town connectivity face enormous pressure to accommodate all modes of transportation.

Major east-west arterials include First Street, Jack London Boulevard, Stanley Boulevard, Concannon Boulevard, East Avenue, and Portola Avenue. Major north-south arterials include Livermore Avenue, Mines Road, Vasco Road, L Street/Arroyo Road, Isabel Avenue, and Murrieta Boulevard.

A defining feature of the Livermore roadway network is the Union Pacific Railroad tracks that bisect the city. The tracks create a physical barrier for people traversing the city from north to south since there are few grade-separated crossings and many streets do not cross the railroad or are blocked when trains are active. Existing at-grade crossings are found at L Street, Junction Avenue, and Vasco Road.

Grade-separated crossings include Murrieta Boulevard, Livermore Avenue, First Street, P Street, Mines Road, Vasco Road, and Greenville Road.

The City of Livermore is connected to the rest of the Bay Area and Central Valley via I-580. The interstate crosses the northern part of the city and separates the northwest and northeast neighborhoods from the rest of the city due to sparse crossing options. There are eight existing streets which cross I-580 in Livermore. Most but not all these overcrossings have some bicycle and pedestrian access; however, most are high stress crossings due to the lack of comfortable bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

Arroyos crisscross Livermore followed by service roads that have been or could be converted to multiuse paths. The water courses are maintained by the Zone 7 Flood Control District and act as both barriers and opportunities for connection. The uncertain flows of the arroyos limit crossings, however the service roads provide low stress connections for cyclists and pedestrians throughout the city.

Figure 1 illustrates the roadway network in Livermore.

The following sections focus on changes to the transportation system in Livermore since the last Active Transportation Plan was approved in 2018. Appendix A includes a more detailed list of active transportation projects completed since 2018.

TRANSIT NETWORK
Since 2018 few changes have been made to the Livermore transit system. The Altamont Corridor Express (ACE) still operates from San Jose to Stockton and has two stops in Livermore. Wheels buses continue to be operated by the Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA) and connect Livermore to San Ramon, Dublin, and Pleasanton. Proposed changes to LAVTA routes were recently open for public feedback and include adjustments to increase service and resume Route 2 which was paused during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2018, Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) was proposed to extend to Livermore. However, BART decided not to move forward with this proposal. Instead, Valley Link Rail will connect the region from Dublin to Mountain House in the initial phase and ultimately to Stockton. The Valley Link service will stop in Livermore at the Isabel Avenue station and Southfront Road station. Figure 2 Illustrates current transit routes in Livermore.

PEDESTRIAN NETWORK
The pedestrian network in Livermore is composed of crosswalks, curb ramps, crossing enhancements, and features such as benches and lighting. Since 2018, these pedestrian facilities have been augmented with approximately 1.3 miles of additional sidewalks, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant curb ramps at 67 locations, and new or improved crosswalks at 34 locations.

TRAIL NETWORK
Many trails weave through Livermore with over 40 miles of Class I paved shared use paths designed for bicycling, walking, and horseback riding across the city. Existing and proposed trails are illustrated in Figure 3.

ACTIVITY GENERATORS
Activity generators are destinations that are likely to attract walking or bicycling trips. Further information on how activity generators are defined can be found in the 2018 ATP. Since 2018, the largest shift in activity generators has been in the major employers in Livermore. The current major employers listed by the Livermore Chamber of Commerce are the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Standford Health Care ValleyCare, Livermore Joint Unified School District, ComCast Cable, the Sandia National Laboratory, Wente Vineyards, the Kaiser Permanente Regional Distribution Center, the City of Livermore, FormFactor, Las Positas College, US Foodservice, the Livermore Area Recreation and Park District, TopCon Positioning Systems, WalMart Stores, Costco Wholesale.

McGrath RentCorp, and Target. The locations of the major employers and other activity generators can be found in Figure 4.

DEMOGRAPHICS
Understanding how the population of Livermore has changed since the last active transportation plan is essential to meeting the needs of residents. Knowing who lives in the city helps to guide projects, priorities, and programs and allows effective outreach to all groups of residents. The demographic data shown here is from the 2021 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates and is compared to the 2014 ACS 5-year estimates presented in the 2018 ATP.

POPULATION
In 2014 the population of the City of Livermore was 89,301; as of 2022, the population has decreased by 5%, contracting to 84,722. Livermore remains the sixth largest city in Alameda County, just behind San Leandro.

AGE
Livermore still has a large young population compared to Alameda County as a whole. Nearly a quarter of the people in Livermore are aged 19 or younger. At 24% of the population, there is a higher proportion of young people in Livermore compared to 22% in Alameda County as a whole. These younger residents are less likely to drive or have access to a car and have higher dependence on transit, walking, and bicycling to move around the city.

ACCESS TO CARS
Most households in Livermore (96%) still have access to a car with the other 4% likely relying on transit, walking, or bicycling. Based on household sizes this represents nearly 3,400 residents with no access to a car. In 2014, there were nearly 3,500 residents without access to a car for transportation.

Additionally, 22% of households only have access to one vehicle compared to 23% in 2014. If these households have two or more workers, those without a car may rely on other modes of transportation for their commute.

INCOME
Median household income in Livermore has grown 46% since 2014 and sits at $145,919 as of 2022.

Residents of Livermore tend to earn more than Alameda County overall, which has a household median income of $122,159.

TRAVEL PATTERNS

COMMUTE TRAVEL
The dominant commute to work mode share in Livermore has remained driving alone. It has decreased from nearly 80% in 2014 to 69% in 2018 and has stayed at that level through until 2021 based on American Community Survey 5-year Estimates. A significant share (44%) of the commute trips begin and end in Livermore, offering a major opportunity to shift residents from driving to active transportation and transit. Since 2018, the commute mode shares for public transportation, bicycling, and walking have slightly decreased while the share of residents working from home have nearly doubled.

SCHOOL TRAVEL
The Alameda County Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Program has been collecting data on trips to school since 2014. The program includes all the schools in the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District. According to data published by the SRTS program, commuting to school via physically active modes has risen significantly, rising from a 25% mode share in the 2017- 2018 school year to a 30% active mode share for the 2021-2022 school year4
. The increase shows that the changes in
infrastructure and programming are effectively encouraging and supporting active travel to school. In comparison to Livermore’s active mode share, about 11% of children walk or bike to school in the United States, based on data from the National Household Travel Survey. 4 Alameda County Safe Routes to Schools Program. 2021-2022 District Snapshot, published online at alamedacountysr2s.org.

NEEDS ANALYSIS
EXHIBIT A Page 22 of 152
74 CITY OF LIVERMORE • ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN • JUNE 2024 23

NEEDS ANALYSIS
Walking and bicycling are part of holistic environments that support community needs. Health, safety, and comfort are as much a part of the active transportation network as physical infrastructure and as such, the needs of the residents are informed by these factors. This chapter builds upon the 2018 Active Transportation Plan and includes updates to the following sections to capture the current state of Livermore as it relates to these topics:
• Health (Air Quality), and
• Safety (Pedestrian and Bicycle Collisions)
HEALTH

AIR QUALITY
CalEnviroScreen 4.0 is a tool developed by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment team that measures pollution factors to identify census tracts where adverse health effects are disproportionately distributed. Outputs from CalEnviroScreen 4.0, released in 2021, are compared to outputs from CalEnivroScreen 2.0 which was published in 2014.

Exposure to traffic pollution can cause chronic illnesses such as asthma and heart and lung diseases.

Reducing exposure to harmful emissions can make the residents of Livermore healthier and live longer.

Since 2014, Livermore has become a significantly healthier place to live. In 2014, the pollution burden experienced by residents was in the 51st percentile. As of 2021, Livermore has risen to the 32nd percentile while Alameda County has fallen from the 34th to the 41st percentile. With regard to traffic related pollution, Livermore has risen from the 36th percentile to the 21st for exposure to PM2.5 but has fallen from the 45th to the 50th percentile for diesel emissions.

The 2018 ATP reported that residents of Livermore suffered from asthma at higher rates than the rest of California. Eighteen percent of Livermore residents over 18 had been diagnosed with asthma compared to 13% statewide. As of 2020, diagnoses in Livermore have decreased to 16.1% in adults and from 18.6% to 16.4% in children. Statewide, diagnoses in children have fallen from 13% to 12.3% and in adults have risen to 16.1%5
.

Figure 5 illustrates the pollution burden percentile from CalEnviroScreen 4.0 in Livermore (the pollution burden percentile score is an average across several categories of pollution exposure). The map shows that large areas Livermore have a pollution burden higher than the state median value. 5 California Health Interview Survey Neighborhood Edition, 2014-2020 EXHIBIT A Page 23 of 152

76 CITY OF LIVERMORE • ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN • JUNE 2024 25 SAFETY
Safety and comfort inform how we travel to places. If a route or mode of travel is seen as too dangerous, safer options will generally take precedence. This section builds on the safety section developed in the 2018 Active Transportation Plan. The section covers the location and number of bicycle and pedestrian involved crashes in Livermore from 2017 - 2021 based on data acquired from the Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS)6
. Crashes in Livermore are compared to nearby
communities in Table 4 and collisions are mapped in Figure 6. Note that the TIMS likely underestimate the true number of crashes as not all incidents are reported to law enforcement.

Bicycle-Involved Collisions
There were a total of 103 bicycle collisions during the 2017-2021 study period representing 5.5% of all crashes in Livermore. Although the total number has decreased from the 122 bicycle-related crashes recorded for the 2010-2014 period, the percentage of all crashes that are bicycle-related has increased from the 2.3% observed earlier. One bicyclist fatality was recorded, and 12 bicyclists were severely injured.

The most commonly reported factors that contributed to these collisions included:
• Traveling on the wrong side of the road (33.98%)
• Improper turning by motorist or bicyclist (15.53%)
• Unsafe speeds by drivers (12.62%)
Pedestrian-Involved Collisions
There were 68 pedestrian involved collisions during the study period representing 3.6% of the total crashes in Livermore. Again, while the absolute number of pedestrian-involved crashes has decreased from the 72 recorded for the 2010-2014 period, the percentage of all crashes that are pedestrian involved has more than doubled from the 1.4% that was previously recorded. There were seven pedestrians fatally injured and 14 were severely injured.

The most frequently reported factors contributing to these accidents included:
- Drivers failing to yield to pedestrians (30.88%)
- Pedestrians failing to yield to drivers (27.94%)
- Unsafe speeds by drivers (14.71%)

77 CITY OF LIVERMORE • ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN • JUNE 2024 26 Comparison To Surrounding Area
Compared to nearby cities, Livermore has a lower rate of bicycle collisions and higher rate of pedestrian collisions. Compared to Alameda County in total, Livermore is a lower risk city to ride a bike or walk in. Table 4 highlights this with crash data from TIMS and the American Community Survey with comparison to the numbers previously reported for 2014.

PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS
This section focuses on the projects the City of Livermore has completed since 2018 and changes to programs that the city offers or participates in. The goal of the proposed active transportation network is to provide the Livermore Community with safe, convenient, and healthy transportation choices. Since 2018, significant strides have been made in achieving this goal.

NETWORK IMPROVEMENTS
The previously proposed network improvements were intended to make walking and bicycling more comfortable, enjoyable, and safer when traveling along Livermore corridors. A number of these projects have been completed and offer bicyclists more roadway space and pedestrians safer more accessible crossings. More information on how projects were classified can be found in the 2018 ATP. Table 5 summarizes the projects completed since 2018. See Appendix A for more detailed information about projects completed since 2018.

CROSSING IMPROVEMENTS
Crossing improvements are essential to provide low stress connections throughout the active transportation network. Since 2018, 34 crossing improvements were completed. The completed and proposed improvements are mapped in Figure 8. More information on how crossing improvements were categorized and prioritized can be found in the 2018 ATP.

PROJECT GROUPS
Project groups were developed through community input received during the development of the 2018 ATP. The five focus areas highlighted include:
■ School Access,
■ Downtown Access,
■ Crosstown Routes,
■ Trail Connections,
■ Sidewalk Gap Closures,
■ and I-580 crossings.

Figure 9 shows the remaining proposed projects by grouping. The 2018 ATP can be referenced for more information on the project groups.

CITYWIDE PROJECTS
In addition to location-specific capital projects, the 2018 ATP recommended a suite of citywide programs to support active transportation. These are listed in Table 7, along with updates on implementation and status. Many citywide projects are at least partially implemented via projects programmed in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) or concurrent with construction of adjacent development projects.

PROGRAMS
The physical active transportation infrastructure is complemented with programs that increase walking and bicycling while improving safety and addressing maintenance needs. Programs may be organized into the so-called “Four E’s” categories:
■ Education
■ Encouragement
■ Enforcement
■ Evaluation
The 2018 ATP recommended that existing programs within the City of Livermore be continued and refined or expanded as resources become available. In addition, several new programs were recommended. Table 8 lists the previously existing and recommended programs and summarizes their current implementation status. As shown, programs existing at the time of the 2018 ATP implementation have largely continued but new programs are still being considered.

CONSTRUCTION COSTS

PROJECT COST ESTIMATES
Table 9 shows the estimated costs for the recommended projects from the 2018 ATP alongside the costs inflated to current dollars using the California Construction Cost Index published by the Department of General Services. Note that the inflated costs have not been adjusted to account for the projects delivered since 2018. Given the inflation of construction costs seen in recent years, success in obtaining grant funding will be essential to delivering the envisioned active transportation network in Livermore.

PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
All projects identified in the 2018 ATP were prioritized to arrive at a list of high-priority improvements to be pursued within the first few years. Additional detail on the prioritization process can be found in the 2018 ATP. These first phase projects along with their implementation status are listed in Table 10. The City of Livermore will work towards implementing the first phase projects until a full-scale update of its active transportation plan is completed.

One implementation strategy for delivering ATP projects will continue to be via the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Opportunities for delivering ATP projects can be found in the Street Maintenance (paving), Traffic Control (crosswalk safety improvements), and Trail, Bike, and Miscellaneous Street Projects categories of the CIP.

The City of Livermore has programmed funds and will complete several projects in the near future.

Several multiuse trail segments are currently under construction or in design, including the Arroyo Road Trail, the Arroyo Mocho Trail and the Las Colinas Trail, for a total of three miles of new multiuse trail.

These will supplement recently completed trail segments at Robertson Park, on the Arroyo Las Positas Trail, and the Montage Trail.

Additionally, plans are underway to install 2.1 miles of Class 2B buffered bike lane and pedestrian crossing improvements are planned for 10 locations. The pedestrian crossing improvements include new/modified signals, protected intersections, Rapid Flashing Rectangular Beacons (RRFBs), and high visibility crosswalks. All of these upcoming improvements are shown in Figure 10.

Finally, new bicycle facilities continue to be added as part of land use development projects. Almost a mile of Class 4 separated bikeway will be constructed on North Canyons Parkway/Portola Avenue and Isabel Avenue as part of the adjacent residential projects. Another 0.4 miles is planned for Isabel Avenue between Portola Avenue and the I-580 ramps. Additionally, a recently approved project will be providing a pedestrian/bicycle bridge over Highway 84/Isabel Avenue and an associated new trail segment linking the Arroyo Mocho trail with the Jack London trail.

S T A K E H O L D E R O U T R E A C H
An administrative draft copy of the Interim ATP Update was circulated to the following stakeholders and community groups:
■ Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District
■ Bike East Bay
■ Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA)
■ Livermore Police Department
■ Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department
■ Livermore Area Recreation and Park District (LARPD)

V I R T U A L W O R K S H O P
The City of Livermore conducted a virtual public workshop to showcase the Livermore ATP Update, provide information on completed and upcoming projects, and answer questions from the greater Livermore community. The public outreach event was held on the evening of April 25, 2024. Twentyseven people registered for the event and 15 attended. The event included a 30-minute presentation about the Livermore ATP from the project team and was followed by an hour of open question/comment time for the public.

The virtual workshop was promoted digitally and in-print. Several promotional flyers (digital and print) and social media posts about the plan and virtual workshop were sent out to various stakeholders in the community. Stakeholders were requested to share this information within their own distribution lists to further expand promotional efforts. In addition to online promotional efforts, phone calls were made to the entire stakeholder list to let community members know about the virtual workshop and encouraged to share it with others. The presentation given at the public workshop is included in Appendix B.

Participants at the public workshop asked a number of questions and City staff responded with the best available information. The importance of maintaining a state of good repair, enforcement of traffic and parking laws, and questions about plans for specific facilities emerged as the major themes. A summary of questions and responses along with the slide presentation that was given by staff may be found in Appendix B.

Bike East Bay also provided input in written format. The ATP was revised in response to some of the comments. However, many of the comments were proposals for new or revised policies. While these proposals were found to be thoughtful and reasonable, this interim update of the ATP was intended to reaffirm goals and policies from the 2018 plan. Proposed new policies will be given full consideration when the ATP undergoes a full update after the comprehensive General Plan amendment is completed in early 2026. A summary of comments received from Bike East Bay and responses may be found in Appendix B.

QUESTION/COMMENT RESPONSE

12. Specify that best practice bicycle boulevard
design standards must be updated no later than
2025
All proposed policy revisions will be considered for the full Active Transportation Update after the
comprehensive General Plan update is completed in
early 2026.

13. Table 7 says the city reviews proposed
developments against planned improvements
but does not specifically require them and has
failed to require them in certain instances
(Legacy development, Brighton 2 development).

Implement policy to ensure such review is not
missed, specific checkbox within development
application (reviewed by staff and approving
bodies)
The City does generally require a developer to pay for
and install any ATP planned improvement (or the
INSP planned ped/bike improvements) along their
frontage. Some exceptions can be made through a
negotiated Development Agreement, which allows the
City to require developers to make ATP improvements
beyond their frontage or allow developers to pay for
the cost of ATP frontage improvements that can then
be used by city as part of a CIP project with a larger
scope for ped/bike improvements.

14. Table 8, there are open street events such as
downtown street fest Table 8 has been updated to reflect this event.

15. Re-evaluate first phase projects for relevance
in 2024, in light of unplanned opportunity
projects delivered since 2018 and expected
development projects coming online in the
future.

The interim ATP update is simply reporting on the
status of the first phase projects from the 2018 ATP.

Projects will be re-prioritized as part of the next full ATP update.

16. Provide CIP funding to facilitate opportunity
improvements.

The report has been updated to clarify that the City
continues to fund opportunity improvements through
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) funding programs:
repaving, annual crosswalk improvements, trail
projects, and ATP implementation.

TABLE B.2. COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS FROM PUBLIC WORKSHOP

QUESTION/COMMENT RESPONSE

1. Are high stress 580 crossing into Springtown
still planned? The crossing along S Vasco Rd
is pretty dangerous. To get to Springtown it is
relatively stressful to get from downtown
Livermore.

City staff are working on the Vasco Rd Interchange
project. In addition, the developer of the adjacent
Lassen townhome development is required to
construct the Las Colinas bike ped trail on the west
side of Springtown to the Las Colinas overcrossing of I580, which should be less stressful.

2. Does the plan include increased enforcement
by Livermore Police of traffic/parking laws
related to pedestrian and cyclist safety?
City staff will definitely consider this in the next fullscale update for the ATP. Staff will respond to specific requests as City and Police resources allow.

3. Will the presentation be available to use after? Yes, they will be on the website.

4. Are you planning to install more leading
pedestrian signal intervals?
Yes, the City is planning on installing more.

5. Is repair and maintenance part of this plan? In
particular around Arroyo Place.

Yes, Goal #4 is to maintain the active transportation
network.

6. On the Arroyo Mocho Trail, there are some
tree roots that have uprooted the path.

Comment noted and will be considered in the future
trail repair project.

7. Flooding destroyed an important transportation
facility under Arroyo Bridge near Robertson
Fields. Will the City work with LARPD to
provide a permanent solution for pedestrians,
scooters and cyclists?
Comment noted and will be considered in the future
trail repair project.

8. Plans for improvements for the bike path from
First St and Holmes St? Currently this is a
double lane and it is over capacity. It is difficult
for pedestrians to navigate through the plaza
and the drivers try to cross through the double
lanes.

Comment noted. This intersection will be evaluated in
the full Active Transportation Update.

9. Parking in bike lanes and cars opening doors
is problematic. Without change in drivers’
behavior and more respect for cyclists, it can
only go so far. Having an increased focus on
rules and laws designed to protect active
transportation users is important.

Comment noted. Possible policy revision will be
considered in the full Active Transportation Update.

10. How will the ATP deal with construction signs
and trash cans blocking bike lanes? This is a
critical safety issue.

Construction signs: the engineering departments are
reviewing the traffic control plan so that the signs do not block the bike lane. Or City staff will put on a sign to "share the road" for cyclists and drivers.

EXHIBIT A Page 61 of 152
113

11. Will homeowners be fined for homeowners for
blocking the bike lanes with trash cans?
Currently not. The City Community Development
Department will work with Police Department in the full Active Transportation Update to consider a policy to
address this issue.

12. How are you publicizing the projects that you
complete and provide updates?
On the city website:
https://www.livermoreca.gov/departments/communitydevelopment/engineering/captial-improvement-planproject

13. I live in East Dublin and I know that El Charro
Road interchange there is no connection over
the highway 580.

This interchange is owned by three different
jurisdictions.

14. City of Pleasantville is doing a plan and they
are not doing anything for El Charro Rd
Interchange.

This interchange is owned by three different
jurisdictions.

15. Can you talk about the Springtown Low Stress
Pathway?
There is a new shared use path coming that leads to
Las Colins Road that is going to be constructed by the
developer. That is going to be a great connection for
our Springtown residents.

LIVERMORE BICYCLE, PEDESTRIAN, & TRAILS ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN CITY OF LIVERMORE | 2
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION The City of Livermore envisions a vibrant community where people can comfortably walk, bicycle, and access trails for transportation and recreation. The Livermore Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Trails Active Transportation Plan (Plan) carries this vision forward with a strategy to realize a safer, more comfortable active transportation environment with a thriving walking and bicycling culture. The Plan identifies challenges and recommends implementation strategies to improve walking, biking, and trails in Livermore. The Plan analyzes existing conditions, incorporates community objectives, implements current policies, and recommends network improvements and programs that address limitations and challenges to active transportation. The Plan proposes enhancements to the existing network to close gaps and increase safety, comfort, connectivity. The Plan prioritizes network and programmatic improvements, explores options for project phasing, and identifies funding opportunities.

WHAT IS ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION? Active Transportation refers to all human-powered modes of transportation, from walking and bicycling to scootering, skateboarding, or rollerblading. These active modes of transportation are not only fun, affordable, and environmentally friendly, they support public health by incorporating physical activity into daily life. In this document, “pedestrian” and “walking” are intended to include people walking as well as those using wheelchairs (whether manual or motorized), skateboards, scooters, or any other human-powered transportation other than a bicycle. These modes of transportation all primarily use sidewalks and are considered “pedestrians” by the vehicle code, which dictates the rules and traffic signals or signs that each mode must abide by. PLANNING AREA The Active Transportation Planning Area for this Plan (Planning Area) is aligned with the City’s Planning Area as described in the General Plan, and encompasses land in Alameda County. The Planning Area extends beyond Livermore City limits to the north, east, and south to allow for bicycle, pedestrian, and trail access within the City to connect to regional and local open space and parks, schools, job centers, and other recreation opportunities. See Figure 3-1 in Chapter 3 for a map of the planning area.

LIVERMORE BICYCLE, PEDESTRIAN, & TRAILS ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN CITY OF LIVERMORE | 3
PLANNING PROCESS WHAT WE LEARNED Using a data-driven approach, multiple analyses highlighted areas of strong demand for walking and bicycling facilities near downtown, schools, and parks; gaps in the existing network; and community partners who support walking and bicycling related programs in the city. They also showed areas where improvements to safety or comfort of people walking and bicycling are needed, and where freeways and other features create barriers to connectivity. WHAT WE HEARD A significant amount of community input provided throughout the planning process at key milestones contributed to the development of this Plan. The Plan is the result of a contiguous feedback loop with the community throughout the entire process, which took on many forms including workshops, online engagement tools, surveys, pop up events, and Advisory Committee meetings. More than 250 people attended events to share their thoughts, and over 500 people provided input with the online tools. In responses to the community survey, 75 percent of people said they would like to walk or bicycle more for daily transportation, but concerns prevent them from feeling comfortable on the current networks. Bicycling and walking facilities that increase comfort by providing additional separation from vehicle traffic would encourage this group of residents to use active transportation more often.

Across all feedback opportunities, community members expressed a strong appreciation for the walking and bicycling trails in Livermore, and identified a need for improvements. When input from all outreach events was reviewed, five overarching themes coalesced into focus areas that guided development of the project and program lists in this Plan:
 Improved school access  Improved access to and throughout the downtown area  Crosstown routes that improve connectivity on longer corridors
 Increased connections within the existing trail network, as well as between the trail network and on-street bicycle and pedestrian networks  I-580 crossing improvements to reduce the impact of this barrier
THE ACTION PLAN The programs, policies, and projects in this Plan are informed by the extensive community outreach, current best practices in bicycle and pedestrian planning, and key findings from the assessment of existing conditions and needs. The project list was then reviewed and prioritized to create a strategic plan for implementation based on the cost, complexity, and anticipated benefit of each project.

PURPOSE OF THE PLAN This Plan replaces the City’s 2001 Bikeways and Trails Master Plan. It adds a pedestrian emphasis and has been updated to reflect the current physical environment and public policy conditions. Based on this updated assessment of conditions, this Plan establishes a long-term vision to improve the active transportation network and enhance connections to transit facilities, employment, retail and commercial centers, and public facilities. This document is a comprehensive framework to guide decisions to implement network improvements, which will result in quality bicycle and pedestrian facilities to improve mobility, connectivity, public health, physical activity, and recreational opportunities. Using this Plan, the City aims to increase transportation options, reduce environmental impacts of the transportation system, and enhance the overall quality of life for the Livermore community. Overall, the Plan will create a system that enables people to use a variety of modes to achieve daily needs. Development of the Plan ultimately resulted in a programmed system of improvements consistent with State, regional, and local planning policies. This Plan complies with the State of California Active Transportation Program (ATP) guidelines, making Livermore more competitive for the ATP and other sources of grant funding. In addition, the Plan is consistent with or provides further guidance for regional plans and policies including the Livermore Area Recreation and Park District Master Plan, the East Bay Regional Park District Master Plan, Alameda Countywide Bike Plan and Pedestrian Plan, and Unincorporated Alameda County’s Bike Plan and Pedestrian Plan. It also complies with the “Alameda County Transportation Commission Bicycle Master Plan Guidelines” and the “Toolkit for Improving Walkability in Alameda County.” See Appendix A for a review of relevant plans and policy documents. Further, this Plan implements the City’s Complete Street Policies set forth in the Livermore General Plan, and is consistent with or provides further guidance for the City’s Climate Action Plan, South Livermore Valley Specific Plan, El Charro Specific Plan, Downtown Specific Plan, Iron Horse Trail Feasibility Study, Arroyo Vista Neighborhood Plan, Development Code, Municipal Code, Design Guidelines, and Standard Details.

ORGANIZATION OF THE PLAN The Plan is organized into seven chapters. In addition, appendices include more detailed background data and analyses used to support the project recommendations, and an attachment provides documentation of public input and events.

CHAPTER 2 VISION & GOALS The vision, goals, and policies of the Plan will guide City decisions to prioritize and implement recommended active transportation network improvement projects and programs. In this Plan, Goals and Policies are defined as follows: Goals are broad statements of what the City hopes to achieve for the bicycle, pedestrian, and trail network. These represent the most important priorities and attitudes of the community. Policies address City priorities, direct the way that public improvements are made, where resources are allocated, and how programs are operated. These include actions with measurable outcomes to be evaluated regularly.

VISION The City of Livermore envisions a city where people of all ages and abilities can comfortably access jobs, schools, recreation, shopping, and transit on foot or by bicycle as part of daily life in a healthy and active community.

CHAPTER 3 EXISTING CONDITIONS This chapter describes the existing transportation environment in Livermore, with a focus on conditions that affect the bikeway, pedestrian, and trail networks. Conditions were evaluated under six broad categories, including:
 Community Setting and Context  Existing Networks  Existing Programs  Activity Generators  Demographics  Travel Patterns These existing conditions serve as the basis for the needs analysis in Chapter 4.

COMMUNITY SETTING AND CONTEXT Livermore is in eastern Alameda County, in the Tri-valley region of the San Francisco Bay Area which includes Pleasanton, Dublin, San Ramon, and Danville. The Livermore Valley, oriented east to west, is formed by the Diablo Range of the coastal mountains, and joins the Amador and Sunol Valleys on its west side. The City of Livermore is predominantly flat on the valley floor, while the northern, eastern, and southern valley edges are composed of rolling hills, vineyards, and ridge lines. Interstate 580 (I-580) aligns east to west through the Valley and bisects the Planning Area. Similarly, the Union Pacific Railroad parallels I-580 to the south through the downtown core. Livermore’s historic downtown is located in the geographic center of Livermore, in an area roughly bounded by the railway to the north, Fourth Street to the south and east, and Murrieta Boulevard to the west. Livermore is crossed by several arroyos, including Arroyo Seco, Arroyo Mocho, Arroyo Las Positas, and Arroyo del Valle, which form the natural drainage for the area. These watercourses support vegetation and wildlife habitat; provide opportunities for human and wildlife connectivity, and recreation; and add visual interest to the community. The diverse open spaces and trails provide a suitable environment for outdoor activity and opportunity to increase bicycling, walking, and horseback riding.

LIVERMORE BICYCLE, PEDESTRIAN, & TRAILS ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN CITY OF LIVERMORE | 11
EXISTING NETWORKS ROADWAY NETWORK & MAJOR BARRIERS Streets in downtown Livermore generally follow a traditional grid network. The majority of the City is comprised of suburban streets with cul-de-sacs and limited connections between neighborhoods. As a result, the few corridors that provide crosstown connectivity face enormous pressure to accommodate all modes of transportation. Major east-west arterials include:
 First Street  Jack London Boulevard  Stanley Boulevard  Concannon Boulevard  East Avenue
Major north-south arterials include:
 Livermore Avenue  Mines Road  Vasco Road
 L Street/Arroyo Road  Isabel Avenue
The Union Pacific Railroad tracks that bisect the city create a barrier to north-south travel for motor vehicles, bicycle traffic, and trail users since many streets do not cross the railroad tracks and there are few grade-separated crossings. Existing at-grade crossings include:
 L Street  Junction Avenue  Vasco Road
Grade separated crossings include:
 Murrieta Boulevard  Livermore Avenue  First Street  P Street  Mines Road  Vasco Road  Greenville Road
In addition, I-580 separates the Northwest and Northeast neighborhoods from the rest of the City due to limited crossing options. There are eight existing crossings of I-580 in Livermore. All allow bicycle and pedestrian crossings, but most are not ideal because they lack pedestrian and bicycle facilities that provide a comfortable experience. Finally, several arroyos weave through Livermore, creating both opportunities and constraints. Many of these arroyos are under the jurisdiction of the Zone 7 Flood Control District and have service roads, which have been or could be converted to multiuse trails. However, the arroyos can also act as barriers with limited crossing opportunities.

TRANSIT NETWORK The Altamont Corridor Express (ACE) rail service runs from San Jose to Stockton and has two stops in Livermore, one in downtown and one at Vasco Road. ACE service provides pedestrian and bicycle commuters and visitors who live outside of Livermore with an alternative mode of transportation into the City. The Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority (LAVTA) operates a fleet of its Wheels buses within Livermore and provides connecting access to and from San Ramon, Dublin, and Pleasanton. The Livermore Transit Center in downtown Livermore serves as a major hub for LAVTA bus service as well as the downtown Livermore ACE station. BICYCLE NETWORK The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) classifies and defines bicycle facilities. Caltrans designates four classes of bicycle facilities: Classes I, II, III, and IV. In addition, the Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) has adopted a set of sub-classifications for each Caltrans classification. These sub-classifications were designed to harmonize previously existing local classification systems within Alameda County and to incorporate emerging bikeway typologies. The following sections describe the classes of bikeways that currently exist in Livermore, followed by a description of the additional bikeway classes identified by Caltrans and Alameda CTC.

EXISTING BIKEWAYS IN LIVERMORE Table 3-1 summarizes existing bikeway mileage in Livermore in 2001 and today, and Figure 3-1 shows existing and previously proposed bikeways and trails.

An existing Class II bicycle lane in Livermore
Class II Bicycle Lanes are striped, preferential lanes on roadways for one-way bicycle travel. All existing bicycle lanes in Livermore are Class IIA conventional bicycle lanes, consisting of a single stripe to delineate the lane, stenciled pavement markings, and signs to identify it as a bicycle lane. Where a bicycle lane is adjacent to on-street parking, the lane may be striped on both sides. ADDITIONAL BICYCLE FACILITIES In addition to Class I shared use paths and Class IIA conventional bicycle lanes, there are several additional classes of bikeways designated by Caltrans and Alameda CTC and intersection treatments that do not yet exist in Livermore but were considered in development of this Plan and recommended where appropriate.

A typical buffered bicycle lane Class II bicycle lanes can be upgraded from conventional striping to include striped buffers that add a few feet of separation between the bicycle lane and traffic lane or parking aisle, or other features that improve bicyclist comfort. The additional Alameda CTC designations for bicycle lanes are:
 Class IIB for upgraded bicycle lanes, either with a
striped buffer between the bicycle lane and traffic lane, or with green conflict markings in the bicycle lane  Class IIC for climbing bicycle lanes, which have a
dedicated bicycle lane in the uphill direction and a Class III bicycle route in the downhill direction  Class IID for contraflow bicycle lanes, which allow for bicycling in the opposite direction of motor vehicle traffic (typically used to support two-way bicycle travel on oneway streets)

Typical bicycle boulevard features, clockwise from top left: sharrows, wayfinding, speed hump, and traffic circle Class III Bicycle Routes are signed routes where people riding bicycles share a travel lane with people driving motor vehicles.  Class IIIA for signage-only routes  Class IIIB for wide curb or shoulder lanes, that may or may not include signage
 Class IIIC for routes with shared lane markings
(“sharrows”) or other pavement stenciling, and may also include signage  Class IIID for routes with green-backed sharrows, also called “super sharrows”
 Class IIIE for bicycle boulevards, which are signed,
shared travelways with low motor vehicle volumes and
speeds that prioritize convenient and safe bicycle travel through traffic calming, wayfinding signs, and traffic control adjustments Because they are mixed-traffic facilities, Class III bicycle routes are only appropriate for very low-volume streets with slow travel speeds. Designating Class III bicycle routes can support bicycling beyond the actual facility provided. Signed bicycle routes can help people riding bicycles navigate quiet streets and identify which streets connect. The City may also choose to adopt related policies or practices to maintain designated streets at a level that is comfortable for people bicycling, which may include sweeping more frequently or maintaining a higher quality pavement surface than non-designated streets.

Typical separated bikeway with bollardsClass IV Separated Bikeways are on-street bicycle lanes that are physically separated from motor vehicle traffic by a vertical element or barrier such as a curb, bollards, or parking aisle. They may allow for one- or two-way traffic.  Class IVA for one-way separated bikeways  Class IVB for two-way separated bikeways

Bike boxes at signalized intersections provide a designated space for bicyclists to queue ahead of vehicle traffic, increasing visibility, reducing signal delay for bicyclists, and helping to prevent right-hook conflicts with turning vehicles. Bike boxes also benefit pedestrians as they reduce vehicles encroaching into the crosswalk. Typical bicycle box Two-stage turn boxes help bicyclists make left turns at signalized intersections with multiple travel lanes from a bicycle lane or separated bikeway. They may also be used at unsignalized locations to facilitate turns from one facility type to another, such as the transition from a bike lane to a bike boulevard. The turn boxes separate turning bicyclists from those continuing through, reduce turning conflicts between vehicles and bikes, and provide a formal queuing space in the intersection.

LIVERMORE BICYCLE, PEDESTRIAN, & TRAILS ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN CITY OF LIVERMORE | 17
PEDESTRIAN NETWORK The pedestrian network is composed of sidewalks, pathways, crosswalks, curb ramps, crossing enhancements, and amenities like benches and lighting. EXISTING PEDESTRIAN NETWORK IN LIVERMORE A typical sidewalk Sidewalks are smooth, even surfaces for pedestrian use that are separated from vehicle travel lanes. Some sidewalks are buffered from the roadway by landscaped areas or other features. Sidewalks throughout Livermore vary in width from five to ten feet wide, depending on the adjacent land use. Livermore currently has approximately 566 miles of sidewalks, covering 93 percent of the street network. There are 44 miles of roadways that have sidewalk on only one side, and 32 miles that lack sidewalks entirely. Small sidewalk gaps that exist sporadically throughout the planning area impede or discourage pedestrian activity.

Transverse and high visibility crosswalk markings Marked crosswalks guide pedestrians to a preferred path of travel across a street, and alert motorists that pedestrians are likely to be crossing at that location. Standard or “transverse” crosswalks consist of two parallel lines, while high visibility crosswalks add horizontal stripes or other markings. Crosswalks near schools may be marked in yellow. Marked crossings should always include advance warning signage and advance yield lines, and can be enhanced with curb extensions to shorten the crossing distance and increase visibility. On streets with one lane in each direction and moderate traffic volumes, the addition of a median refuge may be necessary to improve safety and comfort of people crossing.

EXHIBIT A

LIVERMORE BICYCLE, PEDESTRIAN, & TRAILS ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN CITY OF LIVERMORE | 18
Curb ramps Curb ramps help pedestrians with mobility impairments, those using assistive devices, and children transition from the sidewalk to a crosswalk. They also support pedestrians with strollers and children riding scooters or skateboards on the sidewalk. At corners with two crosswalks, two perpendicular curb ramps should be installed to lead directly into the crosswalk on a straight path. While a single diagonal ramp is acceptable under certain constrained conditions, two perpendicular ramps are the preferred design option because of the benefits they offer to people with disabilities. People with vision impairments are aligned from a ramp directly into the crosswalk, and people using wheelchairs or other assistive devices do not travel diagonally into the street before turning back into one of the crosswalks. The City has an estimated 8,000 curb ramps. Based on an inventory and condition assessment of a sample of the City’s curb ramps, it is estimated that 28 percent of ramps comply with current ADA standards, 59 percent require updates, and 13 percent are locations where a curb ramp would traditionally be located but has not been installed.

A typical median refuge Median refuges, also known as pedestrian refuge islands, provide a safe waiting area for pedestrians in the median of wide, busy streets. Median refuges also allow pedestrians to focus on one direction of vehicle traffic, stop and wait in the median, and then focus on the other direction of vehicle traffic to finish crossing. The median refuge should have a physical barrier on either side, which can be curbs or plantings, to separate pedestrians from vehicle traffic. Median refuges should be combined with other crossing treatments, such as Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) or other beacons.

EXHIBIT A

LIVERMORE BICYCLE, PEDESTRIAN, & TRAILS ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN CITY OF LIVERMORE | 19
A typical RRFB Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) are useractuated amber LEDs that supplement warning signs at uncontrolled intersections and mid-block crosswalks. They can be activated by people bicycling and walking by manually pushing a button or passively by remote detection. For crossings of roadways with one lane in each direction and higher traffic volumes, or on four-lane streets with medium volumes, both a median refuge island and RRFB are typically provided to improve safety and comfort. ADDITIONAL PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES In addition to the previously described pedestrian facilities and amenities that exist in Livermore today, one additional type of pedestrian beacon was considered in development of this Plan and may be recommended for intersection improvements as appropriate.

Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons, also known as high-intensity activated crosswalk (HAWK) beacons, are traffic control devices used to stop roadway traffic and allow people to walk or bike across an intersection. People walking and bicycling activate the beacon by manually pushing a button or passively by video detection or a detector loop system. A PHB creates the lowest level of stress (LTS 1) for people crossing major streets as it functions as a traffic signal, requiring vehicles to stop at a red light when activated. It is designed for intersections that may not meet requirements for a traffic signal, but have volumes high enough that a beacon is needed to provide adequate breaks in traffic for pedestrians and bicyclists to get through the intersection.

TRAIL NETWORK Livermore currently has approximately 40 miles of Class I paved shared use paths designed for bicycling, walking, and horseback riding. While equestrians are allowed on all existing trails, trails constructed in South Livermore Valley generally provide a separate unpaved path for horses. The existing trail network is partially developed throughout portions of the City. The previous Bikeways and Trails Master Plan proposed a network of trails throughout Livermore, along the railroad tracks, linkages to cross I-580, and along the arroyos. Figure 3-2 shows existing and previously proposed trails in Livermore. The existing and proposed trail network is intended to provide separated and comfortable access to community facilities, schools, and transit. The trail network also provides recreational opportunity and connection to neighborhood and regional parks. TRAILHEADS There are several existing trailheads that serve the network and provide access for equestrians, including:
 Robertson Park (Robertson Park Rd)  Sycamore Grove Park (Wetmore Rd access from Sycamore Grove Park Parking Lot)
 Del Valle Regional Park (Arroyo Rd Del Valle Arroyo Rd Staging Area (EBRPD))
 Brushy Peak (Laughlin Rd – Laughlin Ranch Staging
Area)

EXISTING PROGRAMS Bicycle and pedestrian education, encouragement, enforcement, and evaluation programs are an integral part of supporting active transportation and increasing users. Programs are generally described by four E’s: education, encouragement, enforcement, and evaluation. Livermore has a strong history of supporting and participating in active transportation programs, which are listed briefly below. These programs are described in greater detail, along with recommendations for new and expanded program efforts, in Chapter 5 and Appendix K. EDUCATION  Bicycle Safety Education Classes for youth are
offered by Livermore police to students in Kindergarten through 8th grade, and through the Alameda County Safe Routes to School (SR2S) program to elementary, middle, and high school students  Adult Bicycle Safety Education is offered by Bike East Bay, and teaches riders the rules of the road and how to safely bicycle in a variety of scenarios, including both classroom lessons and on-bike practice  Youth Pedestrian Safety Education provided to
Kindergarten through second graders by the Alameda County SR2S program includes practicing safe walking and crossing behaviors  Bike Maps provide information about the City’s existing bikeways and trails in addition to information on key destinations, routes, and distances between points

ENCOURAGEMENT
 Safe Routes to School (SR2S) Program operated by
Alameda County Transportation Commission includes numerous activities to promote walking and bicycling to school, including school site audits, evaluation activities, education efforts, and fun encouragement events  Bike to Work Day activities in Livermore, which include energizer stations, giveaways for commuters, and an outreach campaign, are led by the City in partnership with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and Bike East Bay  Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordination for the City is
currently incorporated into the responsibilities of two staff members in the Planning department who manage bicycling and walking plans and projects for the City, including coordinating with partner agencies to implement programs and events

ENFORCEMENT
 Ticket Diversion Classes for Bicyclists operated by
the Livermore Police Department and Bike East Bay allow youth bicyclists to attend a bicycle safety course instead of paying a fine for a citation  Crossing Guards hired by the Livermore Police
Department are stationed at key locations near schools to assist students and enforce safe driving behavior at crosswalks  Speed Feedback Trailers deployed by the Livermore
Police Department are used for short-term enforcement to target areas where speeding is a concern

EXHIBIT A

Page 91 of 152 ends

143

LIVERMORE BICYCLE, PEDESTRIAN, & TRAILS ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN CITY OF LIVERMORE | 23
 Bicycle Patrol officers and volunteers with the
Livermore Police Department patrol trails in addition to streets and other areas of the community, and may notice challenges or hazards specific to bicyclists during their shifts  Traffic Calming consists of engineering treatments
designed and implemented to reduce traffic speeds and improve safety and comfort along key corridors, often coupled with enforcement campaigns to educate the community on the new features EVALUATION The City currently does not formally evaluate bicycling and walking programs or projects on an annual or routine basis.

ACTIVITY GENERATORS Existing activity generators are destinations that are likely to attract walking or bicycling trips, including:
 Parks and community facilities  Commercial retail centers  Schools  Major employers A map of activity generators can be seen in Figure 3-3.

PARKS & COMMUNITY FACILITIES Three libraries and one community center in Livermore provide space for recreational activities, classes, and community gatherings. These include the Civic Center, Rincon Branch, and Springtown Branch libraries and the Robert Livermore Community Center. Parks are distributed throughout the community and vary in size, intensity and design. The Livermore Area Recreation and Park District (LARPD) is an independent special district that owns and/or manages parks in and around Livermore. LARPD provides:
 29 neighborhood parks  Three community parks  Seven dog parks  Four open space areas totaling 1,360 acres  10 special-use parks

EXHIBIT A

Page 92 of 152 ends

LIVERMORE BICYCLE, PEDESTRIAN, & TRAILS ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN CITY OF LIVERMORE | 24
East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) owns or manages approximately 6,500 acres of regional park land in the Livermore area, offering a variety of recreational opportunities. In addition, EBRPD owns or manages several miles of regional trails in Livermore including the Iron Horse Regional Trail and the Shadow Cliffs to Del Valle Regional Trail. There is high demand for improved access to these regional park amenities. Zone 7 Water Agency serves the Livermore-Amador Valley, and controls several arroyos and access roads within Livermore. Some maintenance roads on levees are currently open for bicycle and pedestrian use, and the Agency has expressed a willingness to discuss opening additional levee trails for transportation and recreation. COMMERCIAL RETAIL CENTERS Commercial uses in Livermore are concentrated downtown and in neighborhood shopping centers along arterials in the community. Providing improved bicycle and pedestrian access to shops, restaurants, services, and other businesses will support residents who want to socialize or run errands without using a car. Wineries are also a major commercial activity and destination in Livermore. Many vineyards and tasting rooms are clustered just southeast of the City, and form a transition between the developed area and the surrounding open space. Some wineries are served by existing shared use paths, and opportunities exist to connect additional wineries and promote the area as a wine trail.

SCHOOLS Livermore schools are distributed throughout the city’s neighborhoods. They include:
 Livermore Valley Unified School District: nine
elementary schools, two K-8 schools, three middle schools, and three high schools  Las Positas Community College  Private schools and pre-schools MAJOR EMPLOYERS According to the Livermore Office of Innovation and Economic Development, the largest employers in Livermore are the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Valley Care Health Systems, Sandia National Lab, Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District, Kaiser Permanente, GILLIG, Lam Research, Form Factor, Wente Vineyards, US Foods, the RK Logistics Group, Livermore Area Recreation and Parks District, the City of Livermore, Las Positas College, Topcon Positioning Systems, Costco, and Performant.

DEMOGRAPHICS Understanding the demographics of the Livermore community not only informed the projects, programs, and priorities reflected in this Plan, but also informed a strategic outreach and community engagement plan to reach the diverse residents. All demographic data reflects 2014 5-year estimates from the American Community Survey. POPULATION Livermore is home to 89,301 residents, and has grown by 22 percent since 2000. It is the sixthlargest city in Alameda County. AGE There are many young people in Livermore, with just over 24 percent of residents under 18 years of age compared to 22 percent in Alameda County. This 24 percent are likely to be unable to drive, which increases their dependence on walking, bicycling, and taking transit to reach their destinations. ACCESS TO CARS More than 95 percent of Livermore households have access to a car. Just four percent do not have access to a car, suggesting they rely on walking, bicycling, or transit. Based on Livermore’s average household size, this represents nearly 3,500 residents who may not have access to a car for transportation. An additional 23 percent of households have access to only one vehicle. If these households have two workers, one or more of them may rely on other modes of transportation for their commute. INCOME Median household income in Livermore is $99,683 in 2014 dollars, representing a 32 percent increase from the 2000 median of $75,322. On average, Livermore residents earn more than Alameda County overall, which has a median income of $73,775.

TRAVEL PATTERNS COMMUTE TRAVEL Almost 80 percent of Livermore residents drive alone to work. Bicycling and walking together make up just two percent of all commute trips, based on 2014 5-year estimates from the American Community Survey. Bicycling and walking is likely higher than this overall, as the American Community Survey does not count recreational trips or trips where commuters use more than one mode, such as taking a bus and then bicycling to their final destination. Thirty-nine percent of the Livermore residents also work in Livermore, which provides an opportunity to shift commute trips within the city from driving to other modes. Compared to communities listed in Table 3-2, Livermore has a higher bicycling commute mode share and a lower walking commute mode share than some Bay Area peers.

Table 3-2: Commute Modes in Peer Communities
CITY BIKE COMMUTE SHARE WALK COMMUTE SHARE Livermore 1.4% 0.9% Dublin 0.4% 2.0% Pleasanton 0.9% 2.4% Rancho Cordova 1.4% 2.3% Berkeley 9.7% 19.6% Davis 23.2% 5.1% Copenhagen 37.0% 6.0% SCHOOL TRAVEL The Alameda County Safe Routes to School program collects data on trips to school, including several schools in Livermore. From 2013 to 2015, 6.6 percent of Livermore students bicycled and 17.4 percent of students walked to school. Bicycling to school in Livermore is higher than the national average of 2.2 percent, which suggests the bicycle network in Livermore currently supports some trips to school. If the bicycling network along routes to school is improved, bicycling to school rates are likely to increase.

CHAPTER 4 NEEDS ANALYSIS The walking and bicycling needs of the Livermore community are diverse, influenced by the quality of the networks—both the physical condition of the infrastructure and the perceived comfort of people walking and bicycling—community demographics, trip purposes, and many other factors. This chapter includes an overview of active transportation needs identified through the following analyses:
 Public Input  Health  Safety  Data-driven Analysis PUBLIC INPUT Throughout the planning process, the City held multiple workshops, tours, and other events to gather input for this Plan. Opportunities to inform existing conditions and help identify and prioritize needed improvements were offered throughout development of the Plan, with a priority on reaching a broad cross section of Livermore residents. This continuous feedback loop resulted in a project list, evaluation strategy, and programs suite that truly reflects community values and priorities. Opportunities for public input included:
 Two public workshops  Survey and interactive map  14 pop-up events  Walking and bicycling tours  Advisory committee meetings  Planning Commission and City Council meetings Activities and key outcomes are summarized in the following sections. For detailed information, see Appendix C.

WORKSHOPS COMMUNITY WORKSHOP 1 The first public open house, held in April 2016, was attended by 76 people. Participants reviewed and provided comments on the existing conditions information, including suggesting Plan goals and desired improvements. Hard copies of the community survey were also distributed for participants to complete.

COMMUNITY WORKSHOP 2 A second workshop was held in January 2017 to gather feedback from the community on draft network, crossing, and program recommendations, and provide an opportunity for input on project prioritization criteria. The workshop, which included Spanish and Vietnamese interpretation, was attended by 110 people. Feedback themes included:
 Support for green bicycle lanes or boxes at key conflict points
 Need for additional bicycle parking  Improved bicycle detection at signalized intersections  Improved lighting citywide  Additional amenities along trails  Improved connectivity between bikeways  Preference for accommodating on-street bikeways
through travel lane narrowing or removal rather than onstreet parking removal

SURVEY AND INTERACTIVE MAP A community survey gathered input on active transportation challenges and opportunities throughout Livermore. The survey was available online in English and Spanish from March 28 through May 30, 2016, and collected 524 responses. An interactive mapping tool was also included online, which allowed residents and stakeholders to draw routes and make comments to help identify locations that need improvements, routes they are currently using, and barriers to walking and bicycling. Survey respondents expressed an appreciation for the walking and bicycling paths in Livermore, and a desire for a more connected network and improved safety and comfort. Mapped input is shown in Figure 4-1. The majority of survey respondents also reported a desire to walk (76 percent) or bicycle (81 percent) more often for their daily commute, errands, and other trips. In addition, 34 percent of respondents reported they are interested in bicycling but have concerns, representing an opportunity for mode shift and behavior change if improvements to bicyclist safety and comfort are implemented. Additional themes from the feedback received include: WALKING NEEDS  Close sidewalk gaps  Improve street lighting  Improve crossings and curb ramps  Traffic calming Key locations identified as needing improvements include:
 Downtown Livermore  Livermore Avenue  Vasco Road/I-580 crossing

BICYCLING NEEDS
 Improve safety for on-street bikeways  Create dedicated space for bicycling  Design ramps and bollards to accommodate bicycles with trailers
 Improve crossings
Key locations identified as needing improvements include:
 Arroyo Mocho Trail  East Avenue  Vasco Road/I-580 crossing Additional bicycle parking was also identified as a need, including along First Street in the downtown, and near parks, grocery stores, and other destinations. TRAIL NEEDS  Improve connectivity of separated trails  Address personal safety concerns  Complete trail gaps

HEALTH Bicycling and walking are closely tied to health, and a review of physical activity and air quality can illuminate the need for active transportation improvements in a community. A growing number of studies show how communities and transportation systems have a profound impact on health and quality of life issues. Fostering conditions where bicycling and walking are accepted and encouraged can increase the health and livability of a city through increased physical activity and improved air quality. For detailed data on health in Livermore, see Appendix D. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends adults get 150 minutes of physical activity each week. According to the California Health Interview Survey Neighborhood Edition, only 36 percent of adults in Livermore meet this recommendation. While this is a small sample of the population, the rate is consistent with county and statewide rates at 37 and 33 percent respectively. The Department of Education, which collects physical fitness data for students, reports approximately 75 percent of students in the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District are in the Healthy Fitness Zone for aerobic capacity. Similar to adult activity rates, this is on par with county and state levels. The Department of Education also reports slightly lower rates of obese or overweight youth in Livermore compared to state and county data, while California Health Interview Survey Neighborhood Edition data shows Livermore adults are slightly more likely to be obese or overweight than their peers in Alameda County or California. Improving walking and bicycling networks can improve physical activity and reduce obesity in both children and adults. The CDC has found increasing opportunities for activity can result in 25 percent more residents exercising at least three times per week.

AIR QUALITY CalEnviroScreen 2.0 is a tool developed by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment team that measures pollution and population factors to identify census tracts where adverse health effects are disproportionately distributed. According to CalEnviroScreen 2.0, Livermore residents experience a greater pollution burden than Alameda County as a whole. Livermore ranks in the 51st percentile, while Alameda County ranks in the 34th percentile. With regards to traffic related pollution, Livermore census tracts rank in the 36th percentile on average for exposure to PM2.5 and in the 45thpercentile for diesel emissions. Exposure to traffic pollution can have adverse health effects, such as respiratory issues, heart and lung disease, and asthma. Livermore residents also disproportionately suffer from asthma compared to the rest of California, which may be related to increased air pollution exposure in the City. The California Health Interview Survey Neighborhood Edition reports 18 percent of Livermore residents have been diagnosed with asthma, compared to 15 percent of youth and 13 percent of adults statewide.

SAFETY Safety and comfort play a significant role in the decision to walk or bicycle instead of some other mode of transportation. While these two factors are closely related, safety refers to the real risk of injury or fatality due to a collision, while comfort refers to a person’s perception of the bicycle or pedestrian facility provided on a particular street. This section discusses safety in Livermore; comfort is addressed in the following data-driven analysis section. Identification of locations and behaviors involved in bicycle and pedestrian related crashes informed this Plan’s recommendations. A summary is presented in this section, and Appendix E contains a detailed analysis. Collisions are mapped in Figure 4-2. Bicycle and pedestrian related collisions in Livermore were analyzed using the most recent five years of available data, from 2010 to 2014, accessed through the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS). SWITRS is likely an underestimate of crashes, as not all incidents are reported to law enforcement—especially those that do not result in property damage.

BICYCLE-INVOLVED COLLISIONS There were a total of 122 bicycle-related collisions during the study period, representing 2.3 percent of all collisions in Livermore. No bicyclist fatalities were recorded, but four bicyclists were severely injured. The most commonly reported factors that contributed to these collisions included:
 Traveling on the wrong side of the road  Improper turning  Failure to yield to a motor vehicle PEDESTRIAN-INVOLVED COLLISIONS There were 72 pedestrian-related collisions during the study period, representing 1.4 percent of all collisions in Livermore. Three collisions resulted in pedestrian fatalities, and nine pedestrians were severely injured. The most commonly reported contributing factors included:
 Motorist failing to yield to a pedestrian  Pedestrian failing to yield to a motor vehicle  Unsafe starting or backing up by a motorist

COMPARISON TO SURROUNDING AREA Compared to nearby cities and Alameda County, Livermore has a lower rate of bicycle collisions and a higher rate of pedestrian collisions, as shown in Table 4-1. This table uses commute to work modes as reported in American Community Survey 2014 5-year estimates.

Table 4-1: Crashes Compared to Surrounding Area

DATA LIVERMORE PLEASANTON DUBLIN ALAMEDA COUNTY
Bicycle collisions 122 155 35 3,305 Bicycle commuters 580 293 99 13,812 Collisions/100 bicyclists 21 53 35 24 Pedestrian collisions 72 63 35 3283 Pedestrian commuters 371 821 483 25,802 Collisions/100 pedestrians 19 8 7 13 This table shows the risk of a bicyclist or pedestrian being exposed to a collision while accounting for walking and bicycling rates in the community. For example, Livermore has nearly four times as many bicycle collision than Dublin, but it has nearly six times as many bicycle commuters. Therefore the exposure rate is lower in Livermore than Dublin.

DATA-DRIVEN ANALYSIS Data-driven analyses help document current conditions, projected demand, and opportunities to improve the bicycling and walking environment in Livermore. Four analyses were completed during development of this Plan, described at right. DEMAND ANALYSIS The first data-driven analysis used is the Bicycle and Pedestrian Composite Demand Model. This process identifies dense activity areas most likely to have high demand for walking and biking by quantifying factors such as where people live, work, learn, play, shop, and access transit—many of the activity generators identified in Chapter 3. This analysis does not reflect current levels of walking and bicycling activity, but instead captures latent demand—the potential for walking and bicycling. Results of the composite demand model are used to identify areas of higher demand within Livermore and prioritize locations for improvements. The model results, illustrated in Figure 4-3, show high demand areas in orange. Areas that yielded highest demand include the confluence of schools, retail, transit, and higher density residential areas. Areas with potential high walking and bicycling demand include:
 Downtown Livermore, including the Transit Station  Schools, especially Mendenhall Middle School and Livermore High School
 Parks  Las Positas College
See Appendix F for a detailed description of the Demand Model process.

BICYCLE LEVEL OF TRAFFIC STRESS The second analysis completed for this Plan was the Bicycle Level of Traffic Stress (BLTS) model. BLTS models score street segments and intersections based on characteristics of the roadway and the bicycle facility provided. The analysis is based on a number of factors, including:
 Posted speed limit  Roadway width and number of travel lanes  Intersection conditions  Presence and character of bicycle facilities  Land use context BLTS models measure the perceived discomfort associated with bicycling in or adjacent to motor vehicle traffic. Higherstress facilities provide little comfort for bicyclists, and are likely to be used only by the most confident and fearless riders. Lowstress facilities offer higher comfort, and are likely to be attractive to a broad group of riders. This analysis classifies road segments and intersections into four categories, with BLTS 1 being the least stressful and BLTS 4 being the most stressful. For a bicycle network to attract the broadest segment of the population, it must provide a continuous and comfortable experience for users. A continuous and comfortable network will allow citizens of all ages and abilities to better consider bicycling as a viable and safe form of transportation.

Results of the BLTS model are shown in Figure 4-4. Just over 60 percent of the roadway network in Livermore was rated BLTS 1 or 2, meaning they are relatively low-stress environments for bicycling. The remaining segments, rated BLTS 3 or 4, are primarily higher speed arterials and other streets comfortable only for the most experienced bicyclists. For additional detail on the BLTS model, see Appendix G.

PEDESTRIAN LEVEL OF SERVICE The third data-driven analysis completed was a Pedestrian Level of Service (PLOS) model. Similar to the BLTS process, a PLOS model helps identify where pedestrian improvements could improve comfort, and where they may have the greatest impact given the existing conditions and the anticipated demand. The model scores street segments and intersections based on characteristics that impact pedestrian safety, comfort, and ease of movement. The PLOS analysis is based on four factors:
 Presence of sidewalks  Posted speed limit  Roadway width (number of travel lanes)  Pedestrian buffers (sidewalk is separated from travel lanes by bicycle lanes, on-street parking, and/or landscaping) Results of the PLOS model are shown in Figure 4-5. Key outcomes of the analysis include:
 High levels of pedestrian comfort were found on roughly 90 percent of roadways in Livermore, generally on lowspeed residential streets and in the downtown core  Low levels of pedestrian comfort were found on the
remaining 10 percent of roadways, primarily on higherspeed arterials, collectors, and state routes, which generally lack sidewalks While the overwhelming majority of roadways are relatively comfortable for walking, these roadways tend to be islands isolated by arterials or other barriers that make it challenging to reach meaningful destinations. Improving access along and across these key roadways will be vital to creating an inviting walking environment. For additional detail on the PLOS model, see Appendix H.

LIVERMORE BICYCLE, PEDESTRIAN, & TRAILS ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN CITY OF LIVERMORE | 47
NETWORK CONNECTIVITY ANALYSIS This fourth data-driven analysis evaluates connectivity of the low-stress bicycling and walking networks in Livermore. On an effective bicycle and pedestrian network, people must be able to travel to their destinations without encountering barriers that discourage them from choosing active transportation. These barriers, including high speed or wide streets, railroads, waterways, or other features that do not have comfortable and convenient crossings or parallel paths. Figure 4-6 and Figure 4-7 show the low-stress network islands for bicycling and walking in Livermore, illustrating how these isolated pockets are separated by high stress segments or crossings that make it challenging for people to reach their destinations. The bicycling network analysis shows relatively small islands of high comfort suggesting most bicyclists would be uncomfortable riding beyond their neighborhood due to stressful crossings or route segments. Downtown Livermore is surrounded by highstress network segments, which makes it challenging to access. The pedestrian network analysis shows fewer barriers, by comparison. With the exception of a few key routes and crossings, walking is likely to be a comfortable option for many residents. This analysis does not take lighting into account, which can affect both visibility and personal security for pedestrians, so walking at night may be more challenging.

COMBINED ANALYSIS RESULTS The synthesis of the Demand Analysis, the Bicycle Level of Traffic Stress (BLTS), Pedestrian Level of Service (PLOS), and the Network Connectivity Analysis informed the Plan’s recommended infrastructure and programmatic improvements. Each of these analyses are strong and useful tools for understanding both current conditions and projected demand for bicycle and pedestrian facilities in Livermore. By overlaying the analysis results, locations where high demand coincides with high-stress or disconnected networks are identified and can be prioritized for improvements. These are locations where projects are likely to have the greatest benefit for walking and bicycling comfort and connectivity. Figure 4-8 illustrates the LTS network results over the composite demand analysis. The downtown core and surrounding areas, which have high composite demand, are intersected by high stress roadways for bicyclists. These roadways may be significant barriers for the bicyclists who wishes to travel in and around the downtown area. Figure 4-9 illustrates the PLOS network results over the composite demand analysis. As shown on the map, high demand areas throughout the city are complemented by high supply pedestrian roadways. In fact, there are very few low supply pedestrian roadways in high demand areas of the city. Key connecting streets in high demand areas like E Stanley Blvd, Las Positas Road, East Ave, and Holmes St could benefit from network and crossing improvements so that pedestrians can more easily traverse the high supply pedestrian network.

LIVERMORE BICYCLE, PEDESTRIAN, & TRAILS ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN CITY OF LIVERMORE | 52
FOCUS AREAS After reviewing existing conditions, listening to community needs and completing the data-driven analyses described in this chapter, five overarching themes for needs and opportunities emerged. To achieve the Plan’s vision and goals, the recommended improvements are structured to provide or enhance access to these focus areas. SCHOOL ACCESS Many students must cross major arterial roadways to get to school. This Plan includes recommendations to increase the safety and comfort of students accessing their schools. DOWNTOWN ACCESS High stress streets surround the downtown area, making it difficult to comfortably access downtown on foot or by bike. Improving routes and intersections into and throughout the downtown area will encourage more active transportation in the community. CROSSTOWN ROUTES The city’s major arterial streets carry multiple lanes of high speed vehicle traffic, creating high stress corridors and crossings for bicyclists and pedestrians. This Plan recommends increasing safety and comfort for active transportation users along and across these corridors, enabling more people to reach their destinations on foot or by bicycle.

TRAIL CONNECTIONS Livermore’s extensive trail network is a community asset cherished by residents and visitors alike, but gaps between the trail system and the street network create connectivity challenges. This Plan emphasizes closing key gaps to provide a seamless active transportation network, while also improving trail access to regional parks, downtown Livermore, transit, and other destinations. I-580 CROSSINGS Residents expressed a strong desire for improved access across I-580, including connections to Las Positas College, Northeast Livermore neighborhoods, and downtown. This Plan identifies opportunities to improve existing I-580 crossings as well as provide new crossings.
