THE ANNUAL GENERAL PLAN AND HOUSING ELEMENT
PROGRESS REPORT TO THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF PLANNING
AND RESEARCH AND THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
SYNOPSIS
Government Code Section 65400 requires the City to provide an annual progress report to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research and the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) concerning the status of the General Plan, progress in its implementation, and progress toward meeting the City’s share of regional housing needs. The Planning Commission has reviewed the report, concurs with its content, and recommends City Council’s acceptance.
DISCUSSION
Background
State law requires the City to prepare an annual status report on the General Plan. Specifically, Government Code Section 65400 requires the City’s Planning Agency to:
1. Investigate and make recommendations to the legislative body regarding reasonable and practical means for implementing the General Plan or element of the General Plan, so that it will serve as an effective guide for orderly growth and development, preservation and conservation of open space land and natural resources, and the efficient expenditure of public funds relating to the subjects addressed in the General Plan.
2. Provide an annual report to the legislative body, the Office of Planning and Research, and the Department of Housing and Community Development that includes all the following:
a. The status of the plan and progress in its implementation. b. The progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs determined, pursuant to Section 65584 and local efforts to remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) of Section 65583.
c. The degree to which the approved General Plan complies with the guidelines developed and adopted pursuant to Section 65040.2 and the date of the last revision to the general plan.
9.3 Packet Pg. 36
This report provides an update on the status of the 2040 General Plan, and in particular, the 2023- 2031 Housing Element, and the progress made in meeting goals and objectives for the year 2023 (Exhibit A).
The Planning Commission reviewed the report at its February 27, 2024, meeting and recommended acceptance by the City Council (Attachment B).
Analysis
Progress in Meeting Regional Housing Needs
The regional Council of Governments (COG) is charged by the State with the responsibility for determining the number of new housing units needed in a community for the upcoming planning period. The Association of Bay Area Governments, or “ABAG,” is the regional COG for the Bay Area. The State of California provides population estimates to each regional COG, after which the agency then allocates the estimated housing units needed by income category among its member communities. The estimated number of housing units needed in Pleasant Hill, as determined and approved by ABAG, is set forth in Table 1. This table reflects the planning period (i.e., “6th RHNA Cycle”) from January 31, 2023, to January 31, 2031.
TABLE 1
HOUSING NEED BY INCOME CATEGORY (2023-2031)
Income Category Eight Year Need
Housing Units (% of Total)
Extremely Low (<30% median income) 283 (15.7%)
Very Low Income (<50% median income) 283 (15.7%)
Low Income (<80% median income) 326 (18.1%)
Moderate Income (<120% median income) 254 (14.1%)
Above Moderate (>120% median income) 657 (36.4%)
TOTAL 1,803 (100%)
Source: Based on Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) figures.
Generally, Very Low-Income households have incomes which do not exceed 50% of the area median income (AMI); Low Income households have incomes which do not exceed 80% of AMI; Moderate Income Households have incomes which do not exceed 120% of AMI; and Above Moderate Income households have incomes greater than 120% of AMI (see Title 25 Cal. Code of Regs. §6910 et. seq.).
Table 2 below includes information reflecting units added to Pleasant Hill’s housing stock through 2023.
9.3 Packet Pg. 37
TABLE 2
UPDATED REGIONAL HOUSING NEED ALLOCATION TO YEAR 2023
Overall, the City issued certificates of occupancy for 14 affordable units this past year (in the form of accessory dwelling units), in addition to 23 market rate units, which added to the City’s cumulative unit count for this Housing Element period, for which there is still an unmet need.
However, the City issued building permits for a significant number of units in 2023, 250 units, 51 of which are considered affordable, including those provided by the 189-unit project at 85 Cleaveland Road, which is currently under construction. Additionally, the City entitled 49 new units.

The City has a total of approximately $5,700,000 in available assets from dedicated housing funds received as in-lieu fees paid pursuant to the City’s inclusionary housing ordinance (Fund 34) and from housing successor agency assets (Fund 78). Of those assets, $4,700,000 have been committed to other existing and future affordable housing projects, including $2.5 million to SAHA to assist with the previously approved (2022) 82-unit affordable housing development, and $685,000 to Habitat for Humanity for the development of two separate sites and 15 total affordable units (neither site has received entitlements at this time). A majority of the remaining $1,000,000 has been set aside for future administrative costs related to monitoring and administration of Housing Successor Agency responsibilities. Therefore, there is approximately $200,000 to $250,000 in available funds to assist with the production of very low-income units when the opportunity arises.

with rent increases, foreclosure, or other adverse
events. Seniors and residents with a disability with
limited incomes often fall into this income-category.
The City shall pay 100 percent of the application
processing fees from the City’s affordable housing
fund for developments in which 5 percent of units are
affordable to ELI households. To be eligible for this
subsidy, the units shall be restricted by an affordability covenant. The waiving or reduction of mitigation fees
may also be considered when an alternative funding
source is identified for these fees. The City shall

13. An annual $235,000 payment from the Redevelopment Agency’s Successor Agency to Grayson Creek Apartments (100% affordable), was made in 2022.
These payments will continue until 2031 (totaling $7,820,000) and are included in the Successor Agency’s Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (Housing Element Program W)
14. The City completed Code Enforcement activity (closed over 115 cases and fielded over 1,940 email correspondences) throughout the City in part to keep up the physical appearance of the City and to ensure neighborhood nuisances are minimized (Goal LU-1)

In addition to increasing hotel usage, Stay Pleasant Hill also gives a boost to all of the City’s businesses by bringing additional visitors into the City to shop and eat at all of our local businesses, and by providing free marketing for many of our establishments. (Goals E-1, E-3. E-4, E-5)
21. Oak Park Gap Sidewalk Closure Project No. 04-23: Provided approximately 700 linear feet of new ADA-compliant concrete sidewalk along the north side of Oak Park Boulevard between Hook Avenue and the Pleasant Hill Library, new rectangular rapid-flashing beacons (RRFB) at two existing crosswalks, and new signage and striping. The Oak Park Boulevard Sidewalk Gap Closure Project is in a high priority location for pedestrian and bicycle improvements based on collision history, proximity to schools, number of nearby destinations, and traffic volume. The project will connect residents to Pleasant Hill Middle School, the Pleasant Hill Library, Pleasant Oaks Park, pedestrian walking trails, and future athletic fields. The project was funded by Measure K and a TDA Grant. (Transportation and Circulation Element [TC] Goals TC-1, TC-3, TC5, TC-6)
22. Diablo View Storm Drain Improvement Project No. 22-05: Provided storm drain improvements at the intersection of Diablo View Road and Pleasant Hill Road, as well as along Diablo View Road to the Barnett Circle intersection.

Packet Pg. 99
Attachment: Exhibit B - 2040 General Plan Progress (HCD Annual Report) Project highlights included installation of 810 linear feet of 18-inch HDPE storm drainpipe along Diablo View Road and Pleasant Hill Road, drain inlets and base, 1,375 square feet of additional asphalt concrete, restoration of existing roadside swale and restoration of traffic striping and traffic signs. The project was funded with America Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. (Environmental Element [ENV] Goals ENV-2,
23. Downtown Street Tree Replacement Project No.03-23: The Pleasant Hill Downtown Project was completed in 1999 and included the installation of Bradford Pear trees along Crescent Drive, Crescent Plaza and the adjacent downtown corridor. Over nearly 25 years of growth, the Bradford Pear’s root systems presented ongoing maintenance issues, which required expensive asphalt pavement and sidewalk repairs. In addition, due to the height of the trees, pruning required a balance between the health of the trees and the needs of Downtown businesses for clearance and visibility. The typical lifespan of the Bradford Pear tree is 20-25 years, thus, these trees had reached the end of their normal life. The Downtown Street Tree Replacement Project replaced 34 existing Bradford Pear trees with new Chinese Pistache “Keith Davey” species; widened the existing tree wells; expanded the existing soil with new structural soil; installed new pavers adjacent to the new trees; repaired the existing irrigation system at each tree to its functional form; and repaired the existing damaged concrete sidewalk along the corridor adjacent to the replacement trees.
The project was funded by American Rescue Act Funds (ARPA), the Sidewalk Gap Closure Program and private funding. (Goals LU-1, TC-5, TC-9)
24. Grayson Woods Landslide Repair Project No. 22-06: Heavy rainfall during the fall of 2021 caused a small landslide on open space land located within the Grayson Woods Subdivision, between Reliez Valley Road and Iron Hill Street.
The City owns and maintains this open space. In 2006, a similar landslide occurred at the same location after heavy rainfall. Repairs were made in 2008 by grading and compacting the loose soil, reinforcing the slope with “Platepiles” (6-ft long steel angle iron driven into the hillside), and establishing plant growth. The new slide is categorized as a “shallow mudflow” of the soil above the Platepiles. Repairs included directing uphill storm water runoff away from this location, grading and compacting the soil, and re-seeding the slope.
This project was funded by Assessment District 22. (Open Space, Parks, and Recreation Element [OSP] Goal OSP-1, and Hazards and Safety Element [HS] Goals HS-2 and HS-3)
25. Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan (BPMP): The City continues to modify the BPMP, that provides a consistent, long-term guide to the City in developing connected networks of multipurpose paths, bikeways, sidewalks, and street crossings. The BPMP compliments the City’s General Plan Circulation Element and provides focused visions and goals towards the development of bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The BPMP represents a shift in the City’s transportation development strategy from an automobile-oriented focus to a “complete
9.3.c
Packet Pg. 100 Attachment: Exhibit B - 2040 General Plan Progress (HCD Annual Report) streets” focus in order to balance the needs of multiple modes of travel. The BPMP provides general improvement recommendations and design guidelines for the City to promote consistent, safe, and efficient integration of bicycle and pedestrian facilities on City streets and near transit facilities. The BPMP supports the City in competing for Federal, State, or Local grant funding opportunities by serving as the policy document that such grant sources require to ensure projects provide a cohesive vision for bicycle pedestrian projects. The BPMP also provides policy recommendations to ensure that private development projects that benefit from new facilities pay their fair-share towards those facilities via the city’s traffic mitigation fee program. It is expected that the City will adopt the BPMP in 2024. (Policy E-6.2; Goals LU7, TC-1, TC-4, TC-5, TC-6, TC-8, TC-9, TC-11, TC-12)
26. 2022 Street Resurfacing Project No. PSC-01-22: Provided for a pavement resurface treatment on selected streets within three residential neighborhoods and two major collectors (Grayson Road and Chilpancingo Parkway). The surface treatment was followed by new thermoplastic striping of all project streets per the City’s draft Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. Work on the collector streets was completed in November 2022. Construction stopped in December 2022, due to inclement weather, and restarted in March 2023. In an effort to increase pedestrian and bicyclist safety, additional thermoplastic striping, markings and signage upgrades were added to the project scope at five intersections within the City. Project highlights included: 29,525 square yards of Full Depth Reclamation (recycled asphalt), 19,975 tons of Hot Mix Asphalt overlay on 57 residential and two collector streets, 7,835 square feet of 3” pothole repair of arterial and collector streets, installation of 14 new ADA compliant curb ramps on residential streets, Repair of 375 linear feet of curb and gutter, updates to thermoplastic pavement markings, reflectors, striping and signage on 10.36 miles of residential and collector streets, updates to thermoplastic pavement markings, reflectors, striping and signage at 5 intersections within the City of Pleasant Hill. The project was funded by Measure K, SB1 and Gas Tax Funds. (Goals TC-1, TC-3, TC-5, TC-6)
27. Taylor Boulevard Improvement (Civic Drive to Ruth Drive) Project 01-23.
This project will construct a new traffic signal at the intersection of Taylor Boulevard and Civic Drive, new sidewalk on the north side of Taylor Boulevard between Civic Drive and Ruth Drive, and new sidewalk on both sides of Civic Drive. The project scope includes the installation of a new traffic signal, ADA curb ramps, and sidewalks. When complete, the Project will provide a continuous ADA accessible path of travel for residents to walk or bike from Lucille Lane and Ruth Drive to Valley View Middle School, College Park High School, Diablo Valley College, the City Police Department, Community Center, YMCA, and other office complexes on the north side of Taylor Boulevard. The project is funded through Measure K, Traffic Mitigation Fund, and two Transportation Development Act (TDA) grants. (Goals TC-1, TC-3, TC-5, TC-6)

28. 2023 Intersection and Crosswalk Improvement Project No. 05-23: This project will provide improvements at seven intersections throughout the City for increased pedestrian safety. The improvements include pedestrian-activated flashing stop signs and beacons, speed humps, and enhanced crosswalks. This project will construct improvements at multiple intersections that are located near schools. These improvements will increase pedestrian safety year-round and include pedestrian-activated flashing stop signs and beacons, speed humps, enhanced crosswalks, and new ADA-compliant curb ramps. This project is funded by Measure K, Sidewalk Maintenance/Gap Closure program and the Pedestrian and Bicycle Program. (Goals TC-1, TC-3, TC-5, TC-6)
29. Annual Creek Maintenance Program: The Annual Creek Maintenance Program is a citywide maintenance effort that began after flooding in January 1997.
Since then, the City works with property owners that abut one of the many creeks in the City (Murderer’s, Matson, Grayson, Ellinwood, Linda, North and Belle Ditch) to clear them of debris and vegetation that have accumulated and grown over the years, in accordance with the City’s “Directions and Guidelines for Creek Maintenance.” (Policy ENV-3.9).

TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
SUBJECT: RENEWAL OF ORDINANCE NO. 954 APPROVING ALL SPECIALIZED
OR MILITARY EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE FOR USE BY THE
PLEASANT HILL POLICE DEPARTMENT, PER THE MILITARY
EQUIPMENT USE POLICY REQUIRED BY CA ASSEMBLY BILL NO.
481
SYNOPSIS
The Military Equipment Use ordinance and policy authorized in March 2022 established guidelines for the acquisition, funding, use, and reporting of special or “military equipment,” as defined in Government Code section 7070, within the City of Pleasant Hill. The ordinance and policy fulfilled the obligations set forth in Assembly Bill No. 481. These obligations include, but are not limited to, seeking annual approval on specific items deemed to be military equipment and requirements related to compliance, cataloging, and accepting complaints regarding these items.
DISCUSSION
Background
In September 2021, the California State Legislature passed Assembly Bill 481 titled, “Law enforcement and state agencies: military equipment: funding, acquisition, and use.” The bill was signed into law by Governor Newsom on September 30, 2021, and amended California Government Codes §7070 – 7075, effective January 1, 2022. As amended, California Government Code §7071(b) required that law enforcement agencies submit a proposed Military Equipment Use Policy to their governing body for approval. Once this policy is approved, annual approval of all specialized or military equipment available for use is required.
California Government Code §7070(d) describes a military equipment Use Policy as a publicly released, written document that includes, at a minimum, all of the following:
1. A description of each type of military equipment, the quantity sought, its capabilities, expected lifespan, and product descriptions from the manufacturer of the military equipment.
2. The purposes and authorized uses for which the law enforcement agency or the state agency proposes to use each type of military equipment.
9.4 Packet Pg. 104
3. The fiscal impact of each type of military equipment, including the initial costs of obtaining the equipment and estimated annual costs of maintaining the equipment.
4. The legal and procedural rules that govern each authorized use.
5. The training, including any course required by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, that must be completed before any officer, agent, or employee of the law enforcement agency or the state agency is allowed to use each specific type of Military Equipment to ensure the full protection of the public's welfare, safety, civil rights, and civil liberties and full adherence to the military equipment use policy.
6. The mechanisms to ensure compliance with the military equipment use policy, including which independent persons or entities have oversight authority, and, if applicable, what legally enforceable sanctions are put in place for violations of the policy.
For a law enforcement agency, the procedures by which members of the public may register complaints or concerns or submit questions about the use of each specific type of Military Equipment, and how the law enforcement agency will ensure that each complaint, concern, or question receives a response in a timely manner.
Analysis
The Pleasant Hill Police Department (PHPD) received City Council approval in March 2022 with adoption of Ordinance No. 954 and Specialized or Military Equipment Use Policy (Exhibit A) allowing the department to continue to use the vital equipment specified therein. Many of the items deemed to be military equipment by AB 481 are standard law enforcement equipment utilized throughout the state and the country. These tools have been tested in the field and are used by law enforcement agencies to enhance citizen and officer safety. Loss of these items would jeopardize the safety and welfare of citizens and police officers within the City of Pleasant Hill.
The term military equipment, as used in AB 481, does not necessarily indicate equipment that has been used by or obtained from the military. In fact, PHPD does not own any equipment obtained from the military. An exhaustive list of military equipment, as defined in California Government Code § 7070(c), can be found in Exhibit D. Furthermore, no new specialized or military equipment will be purchased or obtained this year by the PHPD.
These specialized or military items provide police officers with a greater ability to resolve volatile situations safely, which, without their use, otherwise might rise to the level of a lethal force encounter. To this end, the items at issue in the accompanying Specialized or Military Equipment Use Policy, provide PHPD police officers with vital tools that help facilitate compliance within the confines of its existing stringent use of force policy.
Assembly Bill 481 requires agencies to submit an annual military equipment report to their governing body for as long as the equipment is available for use and whenever new equipment is purchased. The Pleasant Hill City Council may use the annual military equipment report as a mechanism to ensure PHPD’s compliance with the proposed Military Equipment Use Policy. In addition, the bill requires agencies must hold at least one community engagement meeting within 30 days of submitting and publicly releasing an annual report. To encourage as much
9.4 Packet Pg. 105
transparency as possible, the department intends on accomplishing this requirement via an annual Special and Military Equipment Use staff report. Further, the bill requires posting the military equipment inventory and policy to the department’s website. This will be accomplished by posting this information to the department’s Transparency Portal. Lastly, agencies are required to establish procedures by which members of the public may register complaints or concerns or submit questions about the use of each specific type of military equipment. This will be accomplished by posting the below information to the department’s Transparency Portal. • Via email to: [email protected]
• Via phone call to: (925) 288-4600
• Via mail sent to: Pleasant Hill Police Department
Attn: Military Equipment Use Coordinator
330 Civic Drive
Pleasant Hill, CA 94523
FISCAL IMPACT
There are no new financial considerations for the Pleasant Hill Police Department’s existing special or military equipment and munitions.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made through posting of the City Council agenda on the City’s official notice bulletin board, at the Pleasant Hill Senior Center, and at the Pleasant Hill Police Department.
The agenda and staff report are posted on the City’s web page.
RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION
Staff recommends that the City Council renew Ordinance No. 954 and approve the annual special or military equipment report for the Pleasant Hill Police Department.

Council may decide to not approve all or part of the special or military equipment list prohibiting use of some or all items. However, staff is not aware of alternative equipment that will achieve the same objectives of safeguarding community and officer safety. There are no reasonable alternatives that will allow the department to legally continue to utilize the numerated military equipment without Council approval.

2024 – Annual Specialized or Military Equipment Report, Prepared Pursuant to Government Code § 7072
In accordance with Government Code section 7072, the Pleasant Hill Police Department hereby submits for City Council review and approval the following annual military equipment report.
1. A summary of how the military equipment was used and the purpose of its use.
All military equipment owned and used by the Department, which is detailed in Exhibit C, was used exclusively for the purposes designated by the Specialized or Military Equipment Policy. In general, those purposes include the use of unmanned aircraft systems and ground vehicles for enhanced investigation and community safety; use of remote tactical armored vehicles for transporting officers and supporting personnel during high-risk tactical operations; use of specialized firearms to be used as precision weapons to address a threat with more precision and/or greater distances than a handgun, if present and feasible; use of a breaching shotgun during tactical entry into a dwelling or other enclosed space when other breaching options have failed or when required; use of noise flash diversionary devices to produce atmospheric over-pressure and brilliant white light and, as a result, can cause short‐term (6 ‐ 8 seconds) physiological/psychological sensory deprivation to give officers a tactical advantage; use of chemical agents and smoke canisters (by officers who are properly POST certified) to limit the escalation of conflict where employment of lethal force is prohibited or undesirable; use of projectile launch platforms and associated munitions to limit the escalation of conflict where employment of lethal force is prohibited or undesirable; and use of pepper ball launchers, beanbag rounds, and less lethal shotguns to limit conflict escalation and use of lethal force.
In 2023, the equipment used by the Department from Exhibit A, was as follows:
• Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS/Drones) were deployed by trained police personnel approximately 58 times to assist in search and rescue missions, search warrant service for perimeter and interior searches and public safety missions to include SWAT deployments and the apprehension of fleeing suspects.
• Explosive breaching apparatuses were used by the regional SWAT team during training operations only.

3 I. OVERVIEW
Developed by the City of Pleasant Hill Economic Development Department and lodging businesses in Pleasant Hill, the Pleasant Hill Tourism Improvement District (“PHTID”) is an assessment district proposed to provide specific benefits to payors, by funding sales, marketing, and communications efforts for assessed businesses. This approach has been used successfully in other destination areas throughout the country to provide the benefit of additional room night sales directly to payors. In 2017, the PHTID was formed pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994 (“94 Law”) for a five (5) year term. This effort seeks to renew the PHTID for a five (5) year term pursuant to the provisions of the 94 Law.
Location: The PHTID includes all lodging businesses, existing and in the future, available for public occupancy located within the boundaries of the City of Pleasant Hill (“City”), as shown on the map in Section III.
Services: The PHTID is designed to provide specific benefits directly to payors by increasing awareness and demand for room night sales. Sales, marketing, and communications programs will increase demand for overnight tourism and market payors as tourist, meeting, and event destinations, thereby increasing demand for room night sales.
Budget: The total PHTID annual assessment budget for the initial year of its five (5) year operation is anticipated to be approximately $710,000. A similar budget is expected to apply to subsequent years, but this budget is expected to fluctuate as room sales do and if the assessment rate is increased pursuant to this Plan.
Cost: The initial annual assessment rate is three percent (3%) of gross short-term room rental revenue. Based on the benefit received, assessments will not be collected on:
stays of more than twenty-nine (29) consecutive days; a person as to whom, or an occupancy as to which, it is beyond the power of the city to impose the assessment; and by any state officer or employee of the federal government or a foreign government who is exempt by reason of express provision of federal law or international treaty.
In years 2024 through 2026, the assessment rate may be subject to an annual increase during the five (5) year term. At the discretion of the Stay Pleasant Hill Board, the assessment rate may be increased to a maximum rate of five percent (5%) of gross short-term room rental revenue for assessed lodging businesses. However, the increase in any year shall not exceed one percent (1%) of gross short-term room rental revenue. The assessment rate may also be decreased by the Stay Pleasant Hill Board by up to a maximum of one percent (1%) per year, but shall not drop below the initial assessment rate of three percent (3%) of gross short-term room rental revenue. Any increase or decrease authorized by the Stay Pleasant Hill Board shall be included in the Annual Report described in Section V.

5 II. BACKGROUND
TIDs are an evolution of the traditional Business Improvement District. The first TID was formed in West Hollywood, California in 1989. Since then, over 100 California destinations have followed suit. In recent years, other states have begun adopting the California model – Montana, South Dakota, Washington, Colorado, Texas and Louisiana have adopted TID laws. Several other states are in the process of adopting their own legislation. The cities of Wichita, Kansas and Newark, New Jersey used an existing business improvement district law to form a TID. And, some cities, like Portland, Oregon and Memphis, Tennessee have utilized their home rule powers to create TIDs without a state law.
California’s TIDs collectively
raise over $300 million
annually for local destination
marketing. With competitors
raising their budgets, and
increasing rivalry for visitor
dollars, it is important that
Pleasant Hill lodging
businesses continue to invest
in stable, lodging-specific
sales, marketing and
communications programs.
TIDs utilize the efficiencies of
private sector operation in the market-based promotion of tourism districts. TIDs allow lodging business owners to organize their efforts to increase demand for room night sales. Lodging business owners within the TID pay an assessment and those funds are used to provide services that increase demand for room night sales.
In California, most TIDs are formed pursuant to the Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994. This law allows for the creation of a benefit assessment district to raise funds within a specific geographic area. The key difference between TIDs and other benefit assessment districts is that funds raised are returned to the private non-profit corporation governing the district.
There are many benefits to TIDs:
• Funds must be spent on services and improvements that provide a specific benefit only to those who pay;
• Funds cannot be diverted to general government programs; • They are customized to fit the needs of payors in each destination; • They allow for a wide range of services;
• They are designed, created, and governed by those who will pay the assessment; and • They provide a stable, long-term funding source for tourism promotion. 1 2 4 6 9 12 19 25 29 32 38

7 IV. ASSESSMENT BUDGET AND SERVICES
A. Annual Service Plan
Assessment funds will be spent to provide specific benefits conferred or privileges granted directly to the payors that are not provided to those not charged, and which do not exceed the reasonable cost to the City of conferring the benefits or granting the privileges. The privileges and services provided with the PHTID funds are sales, marketing and communications programs available only to assessed businesses.
A service plan assessment budget has been developed to deliver services that benefit the assessed businesses. A detailed annual assessment budget will be developed and approved by SPH. The table below illustrates the initial annual assessment budget allocations. The total initial assessment budget is $710,000.
Although actual revenues will fluctuate due to market conditions, the proportional allocations of the assessment budget shall remain the same. However, the SPH Board shall have the authority to adjust assessment budget allocations between the categories by no more than fifteen percent (15%) of the total assessment budget per year. A description of the proposed improvements and activities for the initial year of operation is below. The same activities are proposed for subsequent years. In the event of a legal challenge against the PHTID, any and all assessment funds may be used for the costs of defending the PHTID.
Each budget category includes all costs related to providing that service. For example, the sales, marketing, and communications budget includes the cost of staff time dedicated to overseeing and implementing the sales, marketing, and communications program. Staff time dedicated purely to administrative tasks is allocated to the administrative portion of the budget. The costs of an individual Sales, Marketing,

8 staff member may be allocated to multiple budget categories. The staffing levels necessary to provide the services below will be determined by the SPH on an as-needed basis.
Sales, Marketing & Communications
A sales, marketing and communications program will promote assessed businesses as tourist, meeting, and event destinations. The sales, marketing and communications program will have a central theme of promoting Pleasant Hill as a desirable place for overnight visits. The program will have the goal of increasing overnight visitation and room night sales at assessed businesses, and may include the following activities:
• Marketing efforts to increase awareness and optimize internet presence to drive overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses, including public relations, online and social media campaigns, updating and maintaining website, print, television, digital and radio advertising;
• Attendance of trade shows, professional industry conferences and affiliation events to promote assessed businesses;
• Sales blitzes for assessed businesses;
• Familiarization tours of assessed businesses;
• Development of a strategic plan to benefit assessed businesses, including branding and destination management;
• Preparation and production of collateral promotional materials such as brochures, flyers and maps featuring assessed businesses;
• Lead generation activities designed to attract tourists and group events to assessed businesses; • Director of Sales and General Manager meetings to plan and coordinate tourism promotion efforts for assessed businesses;
• Comprehensive and integrated way finding signage systems, including signage to parking lots and decks, designed to create a visitor experience that will bring repeat visits to assessed businesses;
• Transportation programs connecting assessed businesses and local music venues, sports venues, and other attractions, to increase overnight visitation and room sales at assessed businesses;
• Art and cultural projects to attract overnight visitors to assessed businesses; • Local destination marketing programs designed to drive overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses;
• Destination product development programs and improvements designed to drive overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses; and
• Sports and outdoor recreation marketing programs designed to drive overnight visitation and room sales to assessed businesses.
Administration and Operations
The administration and operations portion of the budget shall be utilized for administrative staffing costs, office costs, advocacy, and other general administrative costs such as insurance, legal, and accounting fees.

9 Contingency/Reserve
The budget includes a contingency line item to account for uncollected assessments, if any. If there are contingency funds collected, they may be held in a reserve fund or utilized for other program, administration, or renewal costs at the discretion of Stay Pleasant Hill. Policies relating to contributions to the reserve fund, the target amount of the reserve fund, and expenditure of monies from the reserve fund shall be set by the SPH Board. Contingency/reserve funds may be spent on PHTID programs or administrative and renewal costs in such proportions as determined by the SPH Board. The reserve fund may be used for the costs of renewing the PHTID.
City Collection Fee
The City of Pleasant Hill shall retain a fee equal to two percent (2%) of the amount of assessment collected, to cover its costs of collection and administration.
B. Annual Budget
The total 5-year improvement and service plan assessment budget is projected at approximately $710,000 annually, or $5,070,440 through 2027 if maximum assessment increases are made by the SPH board. A similar budget is expected to apply to subsequent years, but this budget is expected to fluctuate as room sales do and if the assessment rate is increased. If the maximum annual assessment increases are adopted by the Owners’ Association upon approval, the annual budget will increase as illustrated in the table below. The initial annual assessment rate is three percent (3%) of gross shortterm room rental revenue for lodging businesses and cannot be increased in years 2022 and 2023. In years 2024 through 2026, the assessment rate may be increased to a maximum rate of five percent (5%) of gross short-term room rental revenue for assessed lodging businesses. However, the increase in any year shall not exceed one percent (1%) of gross short-term room rental revenue. The assessment rate may also be decreased by the Stay Pleasant Hill Board by up to a maximum of one percent (1%) per year but shall not drop below the initial three percent (3%) of gross short-term room rental revenue.
The table below demonstrates the maximum with the assumption that the rates will be increased in annually from 2024 through 2026 as it is a required disclosure, it is not the anticipated course of action.
Alternate courses of action may be taken in regards to implementing the assessment rate increase other than what is demonstrated in the chart below, within the parameters of this Management District Plan.
Additionally, a three percent (3%) annual increase in the total budget is shown, to account for estimated increased room night sales as a result of PHTID efforts. This three percent (3%) annual increase is a conservative estimate based on the effects of similarly sized TID budgets.
The table below demonstrates the maximum cost of improvements and services over the PHTID’s five (5) year term.

The PHTID assessment is not a property-based assessment subject to the requirements of Proposition 218. Courts have found Proposition 218 limited the term ‘assessments’ to levies on real property.1 Rather, the PHTID assessment is a business-based assessment, and is subject to Proposition 26.
Pursuant to Proposition 26 all levies are a tax unless they fit one of seven exceptions. Two of these exceptions apply to the PHTID, a “specific benefit” and a “specific government service.” Both require that the costs of benefits or services do not exceed the reasonable costs to the City of conferring the benefits or providing the services.

Packet Pg. 132 Attachment: Attachment 1 - Pleasant Hill Tourism Improvement District Management District Plan 2022-2027 (Semi Fiscal Year Update) PHTID Management District Plan
January 24, 2022
11 1. Specific Benefit
Proposition 26 requires that assessment funds be expended on, “a specific benefit conferred or privilege granted directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of conferring the benefit or granting the privilege.”2 The services in this Plan are designed to provide targeted benefits directly to assessed businesses, and are intended only to provide benefits and services directly to those businesses paying the assessment. These services are tailored not to serve the general public, businesses in general, or parcels of land, but rather to serve the specific businesses within the PHTID. The activities described in this Plan are specifically targeted to increase demand for room night sales for assessed lodging businesses within the boundaries of the PHTID and are narrowly tailored. PHTID funds will be used exclusively to provide the specific benefit of increased demand for room night sales directly to the assessees. Assessment funds shall not be used to feature non-assessed lodging businesses in PHTID programs, or to directly generate sales for non-assessed businesses. The activities paid for from assessment revenues are business services constituting and providing specific benefits to the assessed businesses.
The assessment imposed by this PHTID is for a specific benefit conferred directly to the payors that is not provided to those not charged. The specific benefit conferred directly to the payors is an increase in demand for room night sales. The specific benefit of an increase in demand for room night sales for assessed lodging businesses will be provided only to lodging businesses paying the district assessment, with sales, marketing and communications programs promoting lodging businesses paying the PHTID assessment. The sales, marketing, and communications programs will be designed to increase room night sales at each assessed lodging businesses. Because they are necessary to provide the sales, marketing, and communications programs that specifically benefit the assessed lodging businesses, the administration and contingency services also provide the specific benefit of increased demand for room night sales to the assessed lodging businesses.
Although the PHTID, in providing specific benefits to payors, may produce incidental benefits to non-paying businesses, the incidental benefit does not preclude the services from being considered a specific benefit. The legislature has found that, “A specific benefit is not excluded from classification as a ‘specific benefit’ merely because an indirect benefit to a nonpayor occurs incidentally and without cost to the payor as a consequence of providing the specific benefit to the payor.”3
2. Specific Government Service
The assessment may also be utilized to provide, “a specific government service or product provided directly to the payor that is not provided to those not charged, and which does not exceed the reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service or product.”4 The legislature has recognized that sales, marketing and communications services like those to be provided by the PHTID are government services within the meaning of Proposition 265. Further, the legislature has determined that “a specific government service is not excluded from classification as a ‘specific 2 Cal. Const. art XIII C § 1(e)(1)

12 government service’ merely because an indirect benefit to a nonpayor occurs incidentally and without cost to the payor as a consequence of providing the specific government service to the payor.”6
3. Reasonable Cost
PHTID services will be implemented carefully to ensure they do not exceed the reasonable cost of such services. The full amount assessed will be used to provide the services described herein. Funds will be managed by SPH, and reports submitted on an annual basis to the City. Only assessed lodging businesses will be featured in marketing materials, receive sales leads generated from PHTID-funded activities, be featured in advertising campaigns, and benefit from other PHTID-funded services. Nonassessed lodging businesses will not receive these, nor any other, PHTID-funded services and benefits.
The PHTID-funded programs are all targeted directly at and feature only assessed businesses. It is, however, possible that there will be a spill over benefit to non-assessed businesses. If non-assessed lodging businesses receive incremental room nights, that portion of the promotion or program generating those room nights shall be paid with non-PHTID funds. PHTID funds shall only be spent to benefit the assessed businesses and shall not be spent on that portion of any program which directly generates incidental room nights for non-assessed businesses.
B. Assessment
The initial annual assessment rate is three percent (3%) of gross short-term room rental revenue for lodging businesses. Based on the benefit received, assessments will not be collected on: stays of more than twenty-nine (29) consecutive days; a person as to whom, or an occupancy as to which, it is beyond the power of the city to impose the tax; and by any state officer or employee of the federal government or a foreign government who is exempt by reason of express provision of federal law or international treaty.
In years 2024 through 2026, the assessment may be subject to an increase during the five (5) year term.
At the discretion of the Stay Pleasant Hill Board, the assessment rate may be increased to a maximum rate of five percent (5%) of gross short-term room rental revenue for assessed lodging businesses.
However, the increase in any year shall not exceed one percent (1%) of gross short-term room rental revenue. The assessment rate may also be decreased by the Stay Pleasant Hill Board by up to a maximum of one percent (1%) per year but shall not drop below the initial three percent (3%) of gross short-term room rental revenue. Any increase or decrease authorized by the Stay Pleasant Hill Board shall be included in the Annual Report described in Section V.
The term “gross room rental revenue” as used herein means the consideration charged, whether or not received, for the occupancy of space in a hotel, valued in money, whether to be received in money, goods, services, labor or otherwise, including all receipts, cash, credits and property and services of any kind or nature, without any deduction therefrom whatsoever. Gross room rental revenue shall not include any federal, state or local taxes collected, including but not limited to transient occupancy taxes.
The assessment is levied upon and a direct obligation of the assessed lodging business. However, the assessed lodging business may, at its discretion, pass the assessment on to transients. The amount of assessment, if passed on to each transient, shall be disclosed in advance and separately stated from the amount of rent charged and any other applicable taxes, and each transient shall receive a receipt for 6 Government Code § 53758(b)

13 payment from the business. If the PHTID assessment is identified separately it shall be disclosed as the “PHTID Assessment.” As an alternative, the disclosure may include the amount of the PHTID assessment and the amount of the assessment imposed pursuant to the California Tourism Marketing Act, Government Code §13995 et seq. and shall be disclosed as the “Tourism Assessment.” The assessment is imposed solely upon, and is the sole obligation of the assessed lodging business even if it is passed on to transients. The assessment shall not be considered revenue for any purpose, including calculation of transient occupancy taxes.
Bonds shall not be issued.
C. Penalties and Interest
The PHTID shall reimburse the City of Pleasant Hill for any costs and fees (including, but not limited to, both City staff time as reasonably calculated by the City, as well as any attorney’s fees) associated with collecting unpaid assessments. If sums in excess of the delinquent PHTID assessment are sought to be recovered in the same collection action by the City, the PHTID shall bear its pro rata share of such collection costs. Assessed businesses which are delinquent in paying the assessment shall be responsible for paying:
1. Original Delinquency: Any lodging business which fails to remit any assessment imposed within the time required shall pay a penalty of ten percent (10%) of the amount of the assessment in addition to the amount of the assessment.
2. Continued Delinquency: Any lodging business which fails to remit any delinquent remittance on or before a period of thirty (30) days following the date on which the remittance first became delinquent shall pay a second delinquency penalty of ten percent (10%) of the amount of the assessment in addition to the amount of the assessment and the ten percent (10%) penalty first imposed.
3. Fraud: If the City determines in its sole reasonable discretion that the nonpayment of any remittance due under this section is due to fraud and/or intent to mislead the City, a penalty of twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount of the assessment shall be added thereto in addition to the penalties stated in subsections 1 and 2 of this section.
4. Interest: In addition to the penalties imposed, any lodging business which fails to remit any assessment imposed shall pay interest at the rate of one half of one percent (0.5%) per month or fraction thereof on the amount of the assessment, exclusive of penalties, from the date on which the remittance first became delinquent until paid.
5. Penalties Merged with Assessment: Every penalty imposed and such interest as accrues under the provisions of this section shall become a part of the assessment required to be paid under this section.
D. Time and Manner for Collecting Assessments
The PHTID assessment will be implemented beginning April 1, 2022 or as soon as possible thereafter, and end five (5) years from its start date. The City will be responsible for collecting the assessment on a quarterly basis (including any delinquencies, penalties, and interest) from each lodging business. The City shall take all reasonable efforts to collect the assessments from each lodging business. The City shall forward the assessments collected, less the two percent (2%) collection fee, to the Owners’ Association.

14 V. GOVERNANCE
A. Owners’ Association
The City Council, through adoption of this Management District Plan, has the right, pursuant to Streets and Highways Code §36651, to identify the body that shall implement the proposed program, which shall be the Owners’ Association of the PHTID as defined in Streets and Highways Code §36612. The City Council has determined that Stay Pleasant Hill (“SPH”) shall serve as the Owners’ Association for the PHTID. The City shall enter into a contract with Stay Pleasant Hill for administration of the PHTID. The City reserves the right to conduct regular financial and/or operational audits, as reasonably determined to be appropriate by the City in the City’s sole discretion, of the Owners’ Association. Any such City audits will receive the full and unqualified cooperation and assistance of the Owners’ Association, and upon request by City will be paid for in whole or in part with PHTID funds. Consistent with law, and for good cause as reasonably demonstrated to the satisfaction of the City Council, the City Council at a noticed public hearing may designate a different qualified private nonprofit entity as the Owners’ Association of the PHTID, to replace either SPH, or any subsequent designated Owners’ Association.
SPH as the new Owners’ Association, will appoint a new Board of Directors, comprised of seven (7) members. The members of the SPH Board shall include:
• One (1) representative of the Hyatt hotel;
• One (1) representative of the Marriot hotel;
• One (1) representative of the Homewood Suites by Hilton hotel; • One (1) representative of the Sonesta hotel;
• One (1) representative of a lodging business not affiliated with a national brand; • One(1) representative of the Pleasant Hill Chamber of Commerce; and • One (1) representative of the City of Pleasant Hill.
In the event of changes in hotel ownership or brand affiliation the SPH Board reserves the right to modify its composition without requiring an amendment to this plan. If there is an addition to the Board or if the SPH board would like to reduce the size of the Board, they will need to modify the Management District Plan. SPH shall be responsible for managing funds and implementing programs in accordance with this Plan and by direction of the SPH Board and must provide annual reports to the City Council.
B. Brown Act and California Public Records Act Compliance An Owners’ Association is a private entity and may not be considered a public entity for any purpose, nor may its board members or staff be considered to be public officials for any purpose. The Owners’ Association is, however, subject to government regulations relating to transparency, namely the Ralph M. Brown Act and the California Public Records Act. These regulations are designed to promote public accountability. The Owners’ Association acts as a legislative body under the Ralph M. Brown Act (Government Code §54950 et seq.). Thus, meetings of the SPH Board and certain committees must be held in compliance with the public notice and other requirements of the Brown Act. The Owners’ Association is also subject to the record keeping and disclosure requirements of the California Public Records Act. Accordingly, the Owners’ Association shall publicly report any action taken and the vote or abstention on that action of each member present for the action.

15 C. Annual Report
SPH shall present an annual report at the end of each year of operation to the City Council pursuant to Streets and Highways Code §36650 (see Appendix 1). The annual report shall include:
• Any proposed changes in the boundaries of the improvement district or in any benefit zones or classification of businesses within the district.

PART 7. PROPERTY AND BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT LAW OF 1994 CHAPTER 1. General Provisions
ARTICLE 1. Declarations
36600. Citation of part
This part shall be known and may be cited as the “Property and Business Improvement District Law of 1994.” 36601. Legislative findings and declarations; Legislative guidance The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) Businesses located and operating within business districts in some of this state’s communities are economically disadvantaged, are underutilized, and are unable to attract customers due to inadequate facilities, services, and activities in the business districts. (b) It is in the public interest to promote the economic revitalization and physical maintenance of business districts in order to create jobs, attract new businesses, and prevent the erosion of the business districts. (c) It is of particular local benefit to allow business districts to fund business related improvements, maintenance, and activities through the levy of assessments upon the businesses or real property that receive benefits from those improvements.
(d) Assessments levied for the purpose of conferring special benefit upon the real property or a specific benefit upon the businessesin a business district are not taxesfor the general benefit of a city, even if property, businesses, or persons not assessed receive incidental or collateral effects that benefit them. (e) Property and business improvement districts formed throughout this state have conferred special benefits upon properties and businesses within their districts and have made those properties and businesses more useful by providing the following benefits:
(1) Crime reduction. A study by the Rand Corporation has confirmed a 12-percent reduction in the incidence of robbery and an 8-percent reduction in the total incidence of violent crimes within the 30 districts studied.
(2) Job creation.
(3) Business attraction.
(4) Business retention.
(5) Economic growth.
(6) New investments.
(f) With the dissolution of redevelopment agencies throughout the state, property and business improvement districts have become even more important tools with which communities can combat blight, promote economic opportunities, and create a clean and safe environment. (g) Since the enactment of this act, the people of California have adopted Proposition 218, which added Article XIII D to the Constitution in order to place certain requirements and restrictions on the formation of, and activities, expenditures, and assessments by property-based districts. Article XIII D of the Constitution provides that property-based districts may only levy assessments for special benefits. (h) The act amending this section is intended to provide the Legislature’s guidance with regard to this act, its interaction with the provisions of Article XIII D of the Constitution, and the determination of special benefits in property-based districts.
(1) The lack of legislative guidance has resulted in uncertainty and inconsistent application of this act, which discourages the use of assessments to fund needed improvements, maintenance, and activities in property-based districts, contributing to blight and other underutilization of property.
10.1.a

January 24, 2022
17 (2) Activities undertaken for the purpose of conferring special benefits upon property to be assessed inherently produce incidental or collateral effects that benefit property or persons not assessed.
Therefore, for special benefits to exist as a separate and distinct category from general benefits, the incidental or collateral effects of those special benefits are inherently part of those special benefits.
The mere fact that special benefits produce incidental or collateral effects that benefit property or persons not assessed does not convert any portion of those special benefits or their incidental or collateral effects into general benefits.
(3) It is of the utmost importance that property-based districts created under this act have clarity regarding restrictions on assessmentsthey may levy and the proper determination ofspecial benefits.
Legislative clarity with regard to this act will provide districts with clear instructions and courts with legislative intent regarding restrictions on property-based assessments, and the manner in which special benefits should be determined.
36602. Purpose of part
The purpose of this part is to supplement previously enacted provisions of law that authorize cities to levy assessments within property and business improvement districts, to ensure that those assessments conform to all constitutional requirements and are determined and assessed in accordance with the guidance set forth in this act. This part does not affect or limit any other provisions of law authorizing or providing for the furnishing of improvements or activities or the raising of revenue for these purposes.
36603. Preemption of authority or charter city to adopt ordinances levying assessments Nothing in this part is intended to preempt the authority of a charter city to adopt ordinances providing for a different method of levying assessments for similar or additional purposes from those set forth in this part. A property and business improvement district created pursuant to this part is expressly exempt from the provisions of the Special Assessment Investigation, Limitation and Majority Protest Act of 1931 (Division 4 (commencing with Section 2800)). 36603.5. Part prevails over conflicting provisions
Any provision of this part that conflicts with any other provision of law shall prevail over the other provision of law, as to districts created under this part.
36604. Severability
This part is intended to be construed liberally and, if any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Assessments levied under this part are not special taxes.

A written protest that does not comply with this section shall not be counted in determining a majority protest. If written protests are received from the owners or authorized representatives of businesses in the proposed district that will pay 50 percent or more of the assessments proposed to be levied and protests are not withdrawn so as to reduce the protests to less than 50 percent, no further proceedings to levy the proposed assessment against such businesses, as contained in the resolution of intention, shall be taken for a period of one year from the date of the finding of a majority protest by the city council. (c) If a city council proposes to conduct a single proceeding to levy both a new or increased property assessment and a new or increased business assessment, the notice and protest and hearing procedure for the property assessment shall comply with subdivision (a), and the notice and protest and hearing procedure for the business assessment shall comply with subdivision (b). If a majority protest is received from either the property or business owners, that respective portion of the assessment shall not be levied. The remaining portion of the assessment may be levied unless the improvement or other special benefit was proposed to be funded by assessing both property and business owners.
36624. Changes to proposed assessments
At the conclusion of the public hearing to establish the district, the city council may adopt, revise, change, reduce, or modify the proposed assessment or the type or types of improvements, maintenance, and activities to be funded with the revenues from the assessments. Proposed assessments may only be revised by reducing any or all of them. At the public hearing, the city council may only make changes in, to, or from the boundaries of the proposed property and business improvement district that will exclude territory that will not benefit from the proposed improvements, maintenance, and activities. Any modifications, revisions, reductions, or changes to the proposed assessment district shall be reflected in the notice and map recorded pursuant to Section 36627. 36625. Resolution of formation
(a) If the city council, following the public hearing, decides to establish a proposed property and business improvement district, the city council shall adopt a resolution of formation that shall include, but is not limited to, all of the following:

(2) The number, date of adoption, and title of the resolution of intention. (3) The time and place where the public hearing was held concerning the establishment of the district.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, improvements and activities that must be provided outside the district boundaries to create a special or specific benefit to the assessed parcels or businesses may be provided, but shall be limited to marketing or signage pointing to the district.

Either act, as the case may be, shall govern the proceedings relating to the issuance of bonds, although proceedings under the Bond Act of 1915 may be modified by the city council as necessary to accommodate assessments levied upon business pursuant to this part.
(b) The resolution adopted pursuant to subdivision (a) shall generally describe the proposed improvements specified in the resolution of formation adopted pursuant to Section 36625, set forth the estimated cost of those improvements, specify the number of annual installments and the fiscal years during which they are to be collected. The amount of debt service to retire the bonds shall not exceed the amount of revenue estimated to be raised from assessments over 30 years.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this part, assessments levied to pay the principal and interest on any bond issued pursuant to this section shall not be reduced or terminated if doing so would interfere with the timely retirement of the debt.
CHAPTER 4. Governance

Report by owners’ association; Approval or modification by city council (a) The owners’ association shall cause to be prepared a report for each fiscal year, except the first year, for which assessments are to be levied and collected to pay the costs of the improvements, maintenance, and activities described in the report. The owners’ association’s first report shall be due after the first year of operation of the district. The report may propose changes, including, but not limited to, the boundaries of the property and business improvement district or any benefit zones within the district, the basis and method of levying the assessments, and any changes in the classification of property, including any categories of business, if a classification is used.
(b) The report shall be filed with the clerk and shall refer to the property and business improvement district by name, specify the fiscal year to which the report applies, and, with respect to that fiscal year, shall contain all of the following information:
(1) Any proposed changes in the boundaries of the property and business improvement district or in any benefit zones or classification of property or businesses within the district. (2) The improvements, maintenance, and activities to be provided for that fiscal year. (3) An estimate of the cost of providing the improvements, maintenance, and activities for that fiscal year.
(4) The method and basis of levying the assessment in sufficient detail to allow each real property or business owner, as appropriate, to estimate the amount of the assessment to be levied against his or her property or business for that fiscal year.
(5) The estimated amount of any surplus or deficit revenues to be carried over from a previous fiscal year.
(6) The estimated amount of any contributions to be made from sources other than assessments levied pursuant to this part.
(c) The city council may approve the report as filed by the owners’ association or may modify any particular contained in the report and approve it as modified. Any modification shall be made pursuant to Sections 36635 and 36636.
The city council shall not approve a change in the basis and method of levying assessments that would impair an authorized or executed contract to be paid from the revenues derived from the levy of assessments, including any commitment to pay principal and interest on any bonds issued on behalf of the district. 36651. Designation of owners’ association to provide improvements, maintenance, and activities The management district plan may, but is not required to, state that an owners’ association will provide the improvements, maintenance, and activities described in the management district plan. If the management district plan designates an owners’ association, the city shall contract with the designated nonprofit corporation to provide services.

26 CHAPTER 5. Renewal
36660. Renewal of district; Transfer or refund of remaining revenues; District term limit (a) Any district previously established whose term has expired, or will expire, may be renewed by following the procedures for establishment as provided in this chapter. (b) Upon renewal, any remaining revenues derived from the levy of assessments, or any revenues derived from the sale of assets acquired with the revenues, shall be transferred to the renewed district. If the renewed district includes additional parcels or businesses not included in the prior district, the remaining revenues shall be spent to benefit only the parcels or businesses in the prior district. If the renewed district does not include parcels or businesses included in the prior district, the remaining revenues attributable to these parcels shall be refunded to the owners of these parcels or businesses. (c) Upon renewal, a district shall have a term not to exceed 10 years, or, if the district is authorized to issue bonds, until the maximum maturity of those bonds. There is no requirement that the boundaries, assessments, improvements, or activities of a renewed district be the same as the original or prior district.
CHAPTER 6. Disestablishment
36670. Circumstances permitting disestablishment of district; Procedure (a) Any district established or extended pursuant to the provisions of this part, where there is no indebtedness, outstanding and unpaid, incurred to accomplish any of the purposes of the district, may be disestablished by resolution by the city council in either of the following circumstances:
(1) If the city council finds there has been misappropriation of funds, malfeasance, or a violation of law in connection with the management of the district, it shall notice a hearing on disestablishment. (2) During the operation of the district, there shall be a 30-day period each year in which assessees may request disestablishment of the district. The first such period shall begin one year after the date of establishment of the district and shall continue for 30 days. The next such 30-day period shall begin two years after the date of the establishment of the district. Each successive year of operation of the district shall have such a 30-day period. Upon the written petition of the owners or authorized representatives of real property or the owners or authorized representatives of businesses in the district who pay 50 percent or more of the assessments levied, the city council shall pass a resolution of intention to disestablish the district. The city council shall notice a hearing on disestablishment. (b) The city council shall adopt a resolution of intention to disestablish the district prior to the public hearing required by this section. The resolution shall state the reason for the disestablishment, shall state the time and place of the public hearing, and shall contain a proposal to dispose of any assets acquired with the revenues of the assessments levied within the property and business improvement district. The notice of the hearing on disestablishment required by this section shall be given by mail to the property owner of each parcel or to the owner of each business subject to assessment in the district, as appropriate. The city shall conduct the public hearing not less than 30 days after mailing the notice to the property or business owners. The public hearing shall be held not more than 60 days after the adoption of the resolution of intention. 36671. Refund of remaining revenues upon disestablishment or expiration without renewal of district; Calculation of refund; Use of outstanding revenue collected after disestablishment of district (a) Upon the disestablishment or expiration without renewal of a district, any remaining revenues, after all outstanding debts are paid, derived from the levy of assessments, or derived from the sale of assets acquired with the revenues, or from bond reserve or construction funds, shall be refunded to the owners of the property or businesses then located and operating within the district in which assessments were levied by applying the same method and basis that was used to calculate the assessments levied in the fiscal year in which the district is disestablished or expires. All outstanding assessment revenue collected after disestablishment shall be spent on improvements and activities specified in the management district plan. (b) If the disestablishment occurs before an assessment is levied for the fiscal year, the method and basis that was used to calculate the assessments levied in the immediate prior fiscal year shall be used to calculate the amount of any refund.

CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Meeting Date: March 18, 2024
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILMEMBERS
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION NO.___-24 ADOPTING THE CITY OF
PLEASANT HILL BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN
SYNOPSIS
The City of Pleasant Hill’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan (BPMP), which compliments the City’s 2040 General Plan, will serve as the City’s policy and planning document for the build-out of projects and programs that focus on expanding and promoting active transportation. The purpose of this item is for the City Council to review and consider adopting the BPMP.
DISCUSSION
Background
The Pleasant Hill Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan (BPMP) was last updated in 2012. The City initiated an update of the BPMP in 2018 and selected Alta Planning + Design, a transportation consultant, to assist staff in updating the plan. The initial update of the BPMP was completed in 2019, but final plan approval was deferred to allow for the completion of the update of the General Plan (General Plan 2040).
In 2022, the City initiated a peripheral update of the 2019 Draft BPMP to take advantage of the newly available 2020 Census and collision data. The plan also received additional content updates focused on expanding the connectivity of bicycle facilities along neighborhood streets.
Additionally, during this period, state law changed relative to CEQA review. The legislation, Senate Bill 922, which became effective January 1, 2023, expedited bike, pedestrian, light rail, and rapid bus projects by exempting these environmentally sustainable projects from CEQA review.
The Traffic Safety Commission, which served as the primary advisory board for the BPMP development, recommended the BPMP for approval by City Council at its December 6, 2022 Traffic Safety Commission meeting.
In January 2023, the BPMP was brought before the Planning Commission for review and recommendation to City Council. At that time, the Planning Commission found that the BPMP was not consistent with the City’s General Plan and voted to continue the item to a future date. In
10.2 Packet Pg. 154
general, feedback from Commissioners and public commenters cited the need to make the BPMP more aspirational, especially concerning the proposed bicycle network; to include more robust bicycle facilities on key corridors; to enhance safe routes to school elements; and to conduct additional public outreach.
In response to the Planning Commission meeting feedback, the City conducted a Town Hall meeting in April 2023 to provide an opportunity for further community discussion. The BPMP was then updated to address comments received at the meeting, and to be consistent with the City’s 2040 General Plan, which was adopted in May 2023. Ultimately, at its January 23, 2024 meeting, the Planning Commission unanimously adopted Resolution No. 2-24 finding the BPMP consistent with the 2040 General Plan.
Analysis
Overview of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan
The Pleasant Hill Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan assesses the City’s existing bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure and makes recommendations for future facilities and programs.
General Plan Consistency
At a policy level, the BPMP provides recommendations, goals, and policies that are consistent with the 2040 General Plan’s Transportation and Circulation Element specifically. More broadly the BPMP is consistent with General Plan themes such as sustainability, mobility, and public safety, including goals and policies from the Economics, Land Use, and Environment Elements.
In both the General Plan and proposed BPMP, these goals include policies that support the recommended projects and programs in the BPMP. Specific policy and target programs in the BPMP focus on expanding staff’s ability to design the appropriate types of bicycle and pedestrian facilities for the community using a data-driven processes. The BPMP includes buildout of a well-connected network of bikeways that will provide comfort and safety to bicyclists of all ages and abilities, meeting the needs of those who are interested in bicycling but are concerned about the adequacy of existing facilities.
The BPMP recommends the implementation of a new collision database to track trends that may require proactive change, as well as identification of positive design treatments that can be expanded throughout the City. The plan also recommends expanding bicycle and pedestrian facilities that support the City’s most vulnerable users, school-aged children, through expanded Safe Routes to School programs. More detail of the proposed BPMP consistency with the General Plan is provided in the Planning Commission Resolution (Attachment C).
Existing Conditions
A key development task of the BPMP includes documenting existing infrastructure within the City, including types of bicycle facilities, sidewalks, bike parking, transit routes, and supporting
10.2 Packet Pg. 155
infrastructure (i.e., pedestrian-activated flashing beacons, traffic signals, high-visibility crosswalk roadway markings and signage, etc.). The existing conditions analysis also includes a collision history analysis, updated to 2020. Key findings from the collision history analysis show, on average, two bicycle-related collisions per year focused along Contra Costa Boulevard and 10 pedestrian-related collisions per year at various locations around the City.
With existing infrastructure both mapped and documented, the City and Alta Planning + Design staff identified gaps between facilities and future projects to improve mobility and access across the City with a focus on connecting neighborhoods, schools, business districts, and public facilities. This assessment is included in the Needs Analysis section of the BPMP.
Infrastructure Recommendations
The BPMP recommends 39 miles of new bikeways and multi-use pathways and approximately
10.7 miles of new sidewalks. Bicycle facilities are classified into four distinct categories:
Class Facility Type Description
I Multi-Use Paths Grade-separated facilities such as trails. These facilities are considered the most comfortable for
bicyclists and pedestrians with limited vehicle cross
traffic.
II Bike Lanes Designed space on the roadway adjacent to vehicle traffic. IIB facilities include buffered bike lanes that provide a buffer zone adjacent to vehicle traffic.
III Bike Routes Shared vehicle lanes between bicyclists and motorists. Bike Routes are typically designated
with Share the Road “Sharrows” markings.
IV Separated bikeways Similar to Class IIB Buffered Bike Lanes, but a vertical element is added within the buffer zone to
provide an additional layer of protection between
bicyclists and motorists. Can provide the same level
of comfort as Multi-Use Paths.
Within the BPMP, Figure 5-1 – Existing and Recommended Bikeway Network identifies the recommended bike network for Pleasant Hill, and the figure serves as the primary blueprint for the build-out of bicycle facilities in the City. Using a combination of low volume, low speed neighborhood shared streets, expanding the City’s network of multi-use paths, and implementation of new separated bikeways will create a well-connected, safe, and comfortable riding experience for people of all ages and abilities.
Similarly, Figure 6-1 Recommended Pedestrian Improvements of the BPMP includes projects at key gaps in the pedestrian network including additional sidewalks, multi-use trails, and roadway crossing enhancements. Akin to the recommended bikeway improvements, pedestrian improvements are aimed at providing a safe, comfortable, and accessible walking experience for all, connecting neighborhoods, and improving livability.
10.2 Packet Pg. 156
Program Recommendations
The BPMP identifies programmatic projects to help educate, encourage, and incentivize bicycle and pedestrian travel modes in Pleasant Hill. Programs include Safe Routes to School, bicycle education, bike-to-work day, public outreach materials, and ongoing data collection and surveys.
Development of a Safe Routes to School program, in partnership with the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) – Street Smart Diablo program, would allow for the development of “Safe Routes to School – Walk and Roll Maps” and provide rewards to students who bike to school. The BPMP includes an example of a school-specific Safe Routes to School Implementation plan for Gregory Gardens Elementary School. Recommendations for ongoing evaluation and community outreach are also included.
BPMP Updates
The BPMP should receive an update every 10 years to adjust the network maps to provide consistency with land use changes in the City. The proposed BPMP is a major update from the prior plan, last revised in 2012.
The City’s Capital Improvement Program will be updated as specific projects identified in the BPMP are carried forward into design and implementation.
FISCAL IMPACT
The range of costs for all infrastructure-related improvements ranges between $17.8M to $46.3M, depending on right-of-way, design treatments, and individual project funding constraints. New programs are estimated to cost up to $300,000 per year. A comprehensive list of projects (by project type) is included within the BPMP. Historically, Pleasant Hill has relied on grant programs, partnerships with the Annual Street Resurfacing program, and Measure K funding to implement active transportation improvements. Additionally, private development offers opportunity for implementation, both directly through frontage improvements and indirectly through transportation fees. The BPMP will increase the City’s effectiveness in taking advantage of these opportunities.
This BPMP will allow the City to apply for future grant-fund opportunities, as well as guide other investments in the City’s roadway network. Having an approved bicycle and pedestrian master plan that identifies projects will help the City qualify for grant funding that promotes the build-out of a continuous active transportation network within the City.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Notice of this public hearing was published in the Contra Costa Times on February 20, 2024, and March 4, 2024. In addition, notification was provided on the City’s electronic sign and on AFrames at the Library. Public contact was also made through posting of the City Council agenda on the City’s official notice bulletin board, at the Pleasant Hill Senior Center, and at the Pleasant Hill Police Department. The agenda and staff report are posted on the City’s web page.

1. Introduction
What Is a Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan?
The City of Pleasant Hill values bicycle and pedestrian travel as integral modes of the transportation system.
To integrate biking and walking into the transportation system and institutionalize biking and walking as a means of everyday transport, the City developed this Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan (BPMP) to guide the implementation of projects and policies to prioritize biking and walking.
The BPMP provides a consistent, long-term guide to the City in developing connected networks of multipurpose paths, bikeways, sidewalks, and street crossings. The BPMP compliments the City’s General Plan Circulation Element and provides focused visions and goals towards the development of bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The BPMP represents a shift in the City’s transportation development strategy from an automobileoriented focus to a “complete streets” focus in order to balance the needs of multiple modes of travel. New and enhanced networks and routes identified in the BPMP may be incorporated and implemented as a part of the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The CIP is the City’s infrastructure project implementation and budgeting document. The BPMP provides general improvement recommendations and design guidelines for the City to promote consistent, safe, and efficient integration of bicycle and pedestrian facilities on City streets and near transit facilities.
The BPMP supports the City in competing for Federal, State, or Local grant funding opportunities by serving as the policy document that such grant sources require to ensure projects provide a cohesive vision for bicyclepedestrian projects. The BPMP also provides policy recommendations to ensure that private development projects that benefit from new facilities pay their fair-share towards those facilities via the city’s traffic mitigation fee program.
The 2011 BPMP provided guidance for the City’s bicycle and pedestrian facility improvements. The 2023 Master Plan identifies the next phase of bicycle and pedestrian facility improvements, incorporating current policies and design standards for bicycle and pedestrian accommodation and funding strategies for future project implementation.
Why Does Pleasant Hill Need a Bicycle and Pedestrian
Master Plan?
The BPMP will benefit all communities in Pleasant Hill as the City has many attractive destinations that will be connected through the plan including schools that are centrally located within residential neighborhoods. The downtown is vibrant and walkable and is close to public transportation. However, accessing these destinations General Plan

Packet Pg. 165 Attachment: Attachment B - Pleasant Hill Bike & Pedestrian Master Plan_030824_reduced (Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan) City of Pleasant Hill BPMP – March 2024 Vision, Goals, and Policies | 4 by bicycle or on foot can be challenging. The BPMP identifies critical connections and safety improvements that, if implemented, would facilitate and encourage bicycle and pedestrian access to these destinations.
With an improved bicycle and pedestrian facility network, Pleasant Hill community members would have greater opportunities to bike and walk. With increased activity comes a healthier and more active Pleasant Hill, increased interdependence for younger and older residents, reduced traffic congestion, improved air quality, and an enhanced sense of community.
To ensure orderly and rational development of the bicycle and pedestrian facility network, the BPMP presents an incremental implementation strategy. Certain projects may be implemented as a part of approved capital improvement projects such as the on-going annual street resurfacing program or the CIP Pedestrian and Bicycle Program. Larger projects may be implemented using fund sources such as the Measure K (half cent sales tax), Measure J (half cent transportation sales tax), Transportation Development Act State Transit Fund, Gas Tax, and the Traffic Mitigation Fund.
Other projects not funded through these channels may be incorporated into the City’s CIP, funded or constructed by development projects, or funded by other Federal, State, or Local grants. The BPMP includes a recommended list of prioritized projects, which the City can use as a guide when determining which bicycle and pedestrian projects to pursue for grant funding opportunities.
Guided by an implementation strategy, the City is more competitive in pursuing grant funding opportunities.
Many grant programs, including the California Active Transportation Program (ATP), favor or award points to infrastructure projects that are already part of a bicycle, pedestrian, or active transportation plan.
Who Is the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Intended For? The BPMP is intended for a wide range of audiences, including anyone that bikes or walks in Pleasant Hill and anyone interested in strategies that will make biking and walking safer and more enjoyable for people of all ages and abilities. The BPMP guides City staff in implementing strategies and infrastructure improvements. It is a reference document for all City staff to ensure that bicycle and pedestrian facilities are implemented efficiently. This may mean deviating from the recommended prioritized project list to construct a lesser priority project in tandem with already approved roadway construction projects. Funding sponsors can reference the BPMP to learn about the City’s existing and planned efforts relating to improved biking and walking conditions.

3. Existing Conditions
This chapter documents the existing conditions of biking and walking in Pleasant Hill. An understanding of existing bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, the transportation network, land use, and demographics guides the development of BPMP recommendations.
Setting
Pleasant Hill has approximately
35,000 residents, a strong sense of
community, and small-town
charm. The City’s vibrant
downtown and proximity to other
Bay Area cities attract thousands
of new residents and visitors each
year.
Pleasant Hill is in central Contra
Costa County and has the ideal
climate for biking and walking
outdoors. The average
temperatures range from the low
60s in the winter to the mid-80s in
the summer. Precipitation is
generally confined to winter months maximizing bike-and walk-ability.
Pleasant Hill’s topography, while slightly hilly in certain isolated areas, is generally flat and accessible to most people on bikes and on foot. For those looking for biking and hiking adventures, Pleasant Hill has a lot to offer including close proximity to two regional parks. Mount Diablo State Park is located eight miles to the southeast, and Briones Regional Park is located immediately to the west of the City. In addition, Pleasant Hill has a network of interconnecting multi-use paths including East Bay Regional Park District Trails (Contra Costa Canal Trail and Iron Horse Regional Trail) and the East Bay Municipal Utility District Trail.
Land Use
Non-motorized transportation mode choices such as biking and walking are dependent on land use intensity.
Downtown and dense urban areas are generally more accommodating to bicyclists and pedestrians. Suburban residential urban areas and large commercial areas with lot sizes over 20,000 square feet typically generate few biking and walking trips.
Pleasant Hill is primarily zoned residential with the average lot size between 6,000 and 15,000 square feet. The southwest quadrant of the City has single family lot sizes up to 10,000 square feet. The central area has smaller single family lot sizes up to 7,000 square feet. With sidewalks on major roads and tree lined neighborhood streets, walking is an attractive recreational activity in these areas. In some areas of Pleasant Hill, walking for utilitarian purposes can be challenging due to indirect access to shopping and employment locations.
Commercial land use is primarily located along Contra Costa Boulevard. There are also clusters of commercial areas throughout the City. The major commercial areas are the Downtown District centered at Crescent Plaza & Contra Costa Boulevard, The Crossroads along Buskirk Avenue, Pleasant Hill Shopping Center at Chilpancingo Parkway & Contra Costa Boulevard, and Sunvalley Mall adjacent to the City of Concord at Taylor Boulevard & Contra Costa Boulevard.
10.2.b
Packet Pg. 171 Attachment: Attachment B - Pleasant Hill Bike & Pedestrian Master Plan_030824_reduced (Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan) City of Pleasant Hill BPMP – March 2024 Existing Conditions | 10 The City has designated two commercial areas as Priority Development Areas (PDAs). One PDA is located in the Downtown Core area and extends eastward along Buskirk Avenue. The other PDA is centered on the Diablo Valley College Transit Center, on Golf Club Road near Diablo Valley College. PDAs encourage higher density residential development and allow greater flexibility in vertical and horizontal use integration. These mixeduse developments bring residents within biking and walking distances to employment centers, transit facilities, educational institutions, and community amenities such as shops, restaurants, banks, and gyms.
3.2.1. Roadways and Streets
Roadways and streets are the
primary paths of travel for all users
including bicyclists, pedestrians,
and motorists. The extent of
bikeway and sidewalk
improvements that can be
accommodated varies depending
on the street classification,
roadway widths, speed limit, and
traffic demand. The City uses
Average Daily Traffic (ADT)
volumes and roadway physical
characteristics to designate a
street classification (e.g. arterial,
collector, local street). ADT is also a
variable to consider when planning
bikeway and pedestrian facilities.
Figure 3-1 shows the ADT on the City’s network of roadways and streets based on count data collected in May 2019.
Pleasant Hill has two major north-south thoroughfares that provides circulation and access, namely Contra Costa Boulevard and Pleasant Hill Road.
Contra Costa Boulevard is a major north-south arterial street traversing the city parallel to Interstate 680 with freeway access at several locations. Its ADT ranges from 30,000 daily vehicles south of Chilpancingo Parkway to 35,700 daily vehicles north of Gregory Lane. There are continuous sidewalks and segments of Class II bike lanes and Class III bike route facilities on Contra Costa Boulevard.
Pleasant Hill Road is a major north-south arterial street except as a collector street north of Taylor Boulevard to the north city limit (near Devon Avenue) and between Gregory Lane and Oak Park Boulevard. Its ADT ranges from 27,200 daily vehicles north of Taylor Boulevard to 9,500 daily vehicles north of Geary Road. Pleasant Hill Road sidewalks were enhanced in recent years by Capital Improvement Projects (Taylor Boulevard to Gregory Lane and Pleasant View Drive to Cumberland Drive).
Pleasant Hill has six major roadways that provide continuous east-west circulation and access. They include Chilpancingo Parkway, Taylor Boulevard, Gregory Lane-Grayson Road, Boyd Road, Oak Park Boulevard, and Geary Road.
Chilpancingo Parkway is an east-west arterial street between Contra Costa Boulevard and Morello Avenue. Its ADT ranges from 17,800 daily vehicles at Contra Costa Boulevard to 8,000 daily vehicles at Morello Avenue.
East of Old Quarry Lane, sidewalks are present on both sides of the street. West of Old Quarry Lane, there is only sidewalk on the north side of the street, and missing sidewalk on the south side. Class II buffered and unbuffered bike lanes are provided.

provides an on-ramp to I-680
southbound and continues south of
Astrid Drive as N. Main Street into the
City of Walnut Creek.
Boyd Road is an east-west collector
street between Contra Costa
Boulevard and Pleasant Hill Road. Its
ADT ranges from 9,100 daily vehicles
at Contra Costa Boulevard to 4,000
daily vehicles at Pleasant Hill Road.
Boyd Road carries primarily
residential and school generated
traffic. It has sidewalks on both sides
of the street. Boyd Road is a Class III bike route facility.
Oak Park Boulevard is an east-west arterial street that extends from Pleasant Hill Road to Buskirk Avenue. Its ADT ranges from 17,400 daily vehicles at I-680 to 8,200 daily vehicles at Pleasant Hill Road. It provides direct access to the Pleasant Hill BART Station via Coggins Drive to the east. It is a Class III bike route facility. East of Patterson Boulevard, recently completed projects on Oak Park Boulevard have installed continuous sidewalks on the north side of the street, but gaps remain on the south side. West of Patterson Boulevard, Oak Park Boulevard has sidewalk on both sides of the street and has Class II bike lanes.
Geary Road is an east-west arterial street between North Main Street and Pleasant Hill Road, and encompasses the cities of Pleasant Hill and Walnut Creek. Its ADT ranges from 16,000 daily vehicles at North Main Street to 12,600 daily vehicles at Pleasant Hill Road. At North Main Street, Geary Road continues east as Treat Boulevard.
At its western terminus, Geary Road continues west as Pleasant Hill Road. The portion of Geary Road within the Pleasant Hill city limits is from Putnam Boulevard to Pleasant Hill Road. Within the city limits, Geary Road has sidewalks on both sides of the street and has Class II bike lanes.

The travel mode choices of school-generated and college-generated trips may vary with the school location, enrollment, proximity, comfort, safety, and other factors. Neighborhood schools include two high schools, three middle schools, five elementary schools, and an alternative school. Magnet schools include two public schools and three private schools. The two magnet public schools are Sequoia Middle School and Sequoia Elementary School. An additional source of student enrollment in Pleasant Hill is Diablo Valley College.
Neighborhood schools are attended by students who live nearby within a defined geographical area. Given the proximity, some students bike and walk to/from school. In contrast, magnet schools are attended by students from a much larger geographical area including areas outside the Pleasant Hill city limits; these students are typically driven to and from school by vehicle.
The City is committed to improving safety, access, and network connections, and to encourage non-motorized modes of transportation such as biking and walking for school-generated trips, and to support a range of mode choices aside from automobile use.

The main employment centers in Pleasant Hill are located along Contra Costa Boulevard, mostly in the form of commercial and retail stores. The Crossroads Shopping Center on Monument Boulevard is also an employment center. While health care and social assistance sectors employ 2,962 people, the education sector employs 2,982 people, making it the top employment sector in the City. Diablo Valley College constitutes a large percentage of the educational sector employment, with over 1,100 faculty and staff. 1,
Pleasant Hill residents who reported walking to work declined from 520 people in 2010 to 399 people in 2020.
However, over the same time period, residents who reported taking transit to work increased from 1,464 people in 2010 to 2,384 people in 2020. This represents a significant mode shift to transit from other modes.
Transit trips often involve walking or biking to and from transit stops, and transit riders rely on a comprehensive pedestrian network to travel to and from work. The number of residents who reported biking to work also increased from 114 people in 2010 to 178 people in 2020. The increases in transit ridership and biking highlight the importance of improving and expanding the bicycle and pedestrian networks in Pleasant Hill.
In the employment sectors (e.g. education, retail, and hospitality sectors),2 employees earning less than $35,000 per year are most likely to bike or walk to and from work. In Pleasant Hill, 5.9% of workers earning less than $35,000 per year walk to work, compared to 0.8% for workers earning is $35,000 or greater. For workers who use a taxi, motorcycle, bicycle, or other means to get to work, the figures are 6.0% for workers earning less than $35,000 compared to 1.4% for workers earning $35,000 or more.3 Lower income workers generally rely on quality pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure to get to and from work.

Transit
3.5.1. Bay Area Rapid Transit
Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) provides commuter rail service throughout the East Bay and the San Francisco Peninsula. The Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre BART station is located in the unincorporated area of Contra Costa County, immediately southeast of the City of Pleasant Hill.
The Pleasant Hill BART station in the Contra Costa Centre Transit Village provides a critical link to many parts of the San Francisco Bay Area, especially for residents who do not own a car. On an average weekday, 6,246 riders travel from their home to the Pleasant Hill BART station. Of these people, 24 percent walk to the station, 6 percent bike to the station, and 25 percent live in Pleasant Hill.4
At the station, there are 88 on-demand electronic lockers that are rented by the hour and require a “BikeLink” card, along with an additional 22 single user keyed lockers. Bicyclists must provide their credit card information to obtain a Bike Link card to access the electronic lockers. Additionally, there is a Bike Station adjacent to the BART station which provides a fully secure indoor bike parking room with 215 spaces, accessed with a BikeLink card.5
Inside the stations, patrons must walk their bicycle and use stairway or mechanical lifts to access train platforms. During non-commute hours, bikes are allowed on all trains except the first car or any crowded car.
During commute hours (7:00 to 9:00 AM and 4:30 to 6:30 PM, weekdays), bikes are not allowed in the first three cars of any train. Folded bikes are allowed in all cars at all times. 4 BART, Station Profile Study, 2015.

3.5.2. County Connection
County Connection provides fixed route bus and
paratransit services for Contra Costa County
communities. County Connection bus stops are located
throughout Pleasant Hill. The Diablo Valley College
Transit Center serves as a major bus transfer point for the school and surrounding community.
County Connection buses have a front-mounted rack
for two bicycles. Rack availability is on a first come first serve basis and if the rack is full, bicycles are permitted inside buses at the driver’s discretion.
Bicycle Facilities
To maintain eligibility for State funding sources, the
BPMP refers to and recommends designs of bikeways that are compliant with the California Highway Design Manual (HDM) and Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The term “bikeways” refers to all five Caltrans defined linear facilities, which are described below and illustrated in Figure 3-2.
In total, Pleasant Hill has 28 miles of existing bikeways. Figure 3-3 and Table 3-3 illustrate the existing bicycle facility locations.
3.6.1. Bikeway Types
Class I Bike Paths are paved paths that are physically separated from streets and highways. Class I paths are at least eight feet wide with a 2-foot wide graded shoulders on both sides. Although often referred to as “bike paths,” Class I paths serve all non-motorized users including bicyclists, pedestrians, joggers, skateboarders, etc.
The East Bay Regional Park District allows bicycles, e-bicycles, and scooters on paved bike trails and multi-use trails, with a speed limit of 15 MPH. Pleasant Hill has 7 miles of Class I paths.
Class II Bike Lanes are striped lanes on roadways for one-way bicycle travel. Bike lanes are at least five feet wide and include bike lane signage and pavement markings. Cities may permit parking in a bike lane during certain times of day (such as overnight in a residential area); this is referred to as a “time of day” bike lane.
Pleasant Hill has 7.5 miles of Class II bike lanes.
Bike lanes may also include a striped buffer area; the buffer zone is typically a minimum 2-feet wide striped area between the bike lane and the travel lane or between the bike lane and a parking lane.
Class III Bike Routes are bike routes designated by signs where bicycles share a travel lane with vehicular traffic.
Because these are shared facilities, bicycle routes are most appropriate as “neighborhood routes” on lowspeed and low-volume streets, where they will serve a wide range of bicyclists. Class III routes may be signed on higher volume streets where there is insufficient width for a designated bike lane; these are higher stress facilities used by confident and experienced bicyclists. Some Class III bicycle routes include shared lane markings (sharrows) that indicate proper bicycle positioning in the travel lane and alert motorists of the presence of bicycles. In local neighborhoods, Class III routes provide access to residences, and are used by bicyclists and pedestrians of all ages and skill levels. Examples of local streets with Class III bike routes are Byron Drive and Shelly Drive. The City’s current local street design standards set minimum ten-foot wide travel lanes and seven-foot wide parking lanes. Due to the low traffic volumes and speeds, shared lane markings are appropriate. Pleasant Hill has 4.5 miles of Class III bike routes, mostly on higher volume arterial streets.
Class IV Separated Bikeways, also known as Cycle Tracks, provide exclusive space for bicyclists that are separated from vehicular travel lanes, parking lanes, and sidewalks. Physical objects such as curbs, bollards, or parked cars are used to create a space and a physical barrier between the Class IV bikeway and vehicular travel

3.6.2. Bicycle Parking
Bicycle parking is available at transit stops, shopping areas, offices, parks, and schools throughout Pleasant Hill. 511 Contra Costa, the Transportation Demand Management (TDM) agency for Contra Costa commuters, provides a map of public bicycle locker locations at the following link: https://511contracosta.org/biking/bikemaps/bike-parking/.
There are three types of bicycle parking facilities, namely bike racks, bike cages, and bike lockers. Their uses vary by land use and anticipated parking duration. Bicycle racks are typically provided at highly visible locations with short parking duration (less than two hours). An exception to this rule is at schools, where students park their bicycles all day, but the racks are under constant watch by school staff. Where added security is desired, restricted access bike cages may be used. Bike lockers are typically provided at locations where bicycles are parked for more than two hours (e.g. at BART stations).
The Pleasant Hill Municipal Code requires that commercial developments provide at least one bicycle parking space plus two percent of the total number of parking stalls required for automobiles.
Pedestrian Facilities
The BPMP continues the ongoing efforts of the City to improve pedestrian safety, access, mobility, and connectivity. The City’s General Plan sets forth specific policies to identify and install pedestrian facilities. This section reviews the existing pedestrian facilities in Pleasant Hill.
3.7.1. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
The City is actively working to accommodate pedestrians of all ages and abilities. Guided by the City’s ADA Transition Plan, the City’s CIP programs appropriate $75,000 every year for ADA improvements. The 2024 BPMP does not modify the City’s ADA Transition Plan, but does identify additional areas for potential improvements. All facilities recommended in the BPMP will be developed in accordance with current ADA requirements.
3.7.2. Sidewalks and Pedestrian Paths
Sidewalks and pedestrian paths are the two primary facilities for walking. Sidewalks adjoin to the road and may be separated by a planting strip or landscaped buffer. Pedestrian paths are typically completely separated from the road, other than where the two facilities intersect. Multi-purpose paths (for use by pedestrians, bicyclists, and scooters) must meet Caltrans’ design standards for Class I Multi-Use Paths.
Pleasant Hill has 147 miles of streets and 98 miles of sidewalk.
There are two large areas without sidewalks in Pleasant Hill. The first area is in the Gregory Gardens neighborhood, north of downtown and west of Contra Costa Boulevard. The second area is the Poet’s Corner neighborhood between Patterson Boulevard and Pleasant Hill Road, north of Oak Park Boulevard. The City has long-term plans to install sidewalks on Chilpancingo Parkway, Taylor Boulevard, Pleasant Hill Road, and other streets as recommended in the CIP.
3.7.3. Street Markings
Pavement markings are painted or installed on the streets to call attention to motorists and to guide pedestrians. This includes crosswalks and advance warning markings, such as “SLOW SCHOOL XING.” All pavement markings comply with the California Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
10.2.b
Packet Pg. 183 Attachment: Attachment B - Pleasant Hill Bike & Pedestrian Master Plan_030824_reduced (Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan) City of Pleasant Hill BPMP – March 2024 Existing Conditions | 22
3.7.4. Audible Traffic Signals and Countdown Pedestrian Signal Heads Large intersections with traffic signals
can be daunting to pedestrians,
especially to pedestrians with impaired
vision. Audible traffic signals emit a chirp
and cuckoo sound during pedestrian
phases to help guide visually impaired
pedestrians to navigate.
The City owns and operates 45 traffic
signals. This includes three (3) traffic
signals jointly owned with adjoining
cities (Walnut Creek and Martinez) and
are maintained by these adjoining cities.
In addition, within the City limits are
four (4) traffic signals owned and
maintained by the State of California,
Department of Transportation
(Caltrans). One future traffic signal is
scheduled for installation at Taylor Boulevard & Civic Drive in 2024, soon bringing the total number of traffic signals in Pleasant Hill to 50.
All traffic signals are equipped with pedestrian signal head displays (countdown or flashing walk/don’t walk symbols) and ADA compliant pedestrian push buttons that allow visually impaired pedestrians to locate the push buttons.
Countdown pedestrian signal heads display the amount of time in seconds remaining to safely cross the street.
In 2022, a new California State Law - AB 2264 was passed which requires a Lead Pedestrian Interval (LPI) to be programmed into new or replaced traffic signals. The LPI gives pedestrians a 3 to 7-second head start to cross before cars moving the same direction get a green signal display. The LPI improves motorists’ visibility of pedestrians traveling in signalized crosswalks helping to increase pedestrian safety.

3.7.5. Streetscape
Pedestrians generally prefer streetscapes with benches, trash receptacles, trees, and other accommodating amenities. The City’s Downtown Plan sets forth the guidelines leading to the construction of most of the existing pedestrian facilities in the Downtown area.
Programs
Constructing bicycle and pedestrian facilities is only one aspect of making biking and walking integral modes in the transportation system. Programs are needed to raise safety awareness, encourage biking and walking, and to help ensure that everyone travels safely. This section discusses the programs the City and other regional transportation agencies currently implement to support bicyclists and pedestrians.
3.8.1. Education and Encouragement
Street Smarts Diablo
The Street Smarts Diablo program delivers bicycle and pedestrian safety programs at no cost to qualifying public schools in Central and East Contra Costa County including Pleasant Hill. Street Smarts Diablo is managed by 511 Contra Costa, with funding from the Contra Costa Transportation Authority and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District’s Transportation Fund for Clean Air. Street Smarts Diablo coordinates the Safe Routes to School program activities within Pleasant Hill, including events such as International Walk and Roll to School Day. The Street Smarts Diablo website offers resources for school administrators, teachers, parents and other school stakeholders.
www.streetsmartsdiablo.org
Commuter Incentive Program
511 Contra Costa offers various commuter incentives to encourage bicycling, walking and transit to work. http://www.511contracosta.org/incentives/
Bicycle Parking Program
511 Contra Costa offers bicycle parking installation to employers that want to encourage their employees to bicycle to work. Employers must complete the online form at the website below, after which 511 Contra Costa staff will assist the employer in the purchase and installation of bike lockers. https://511contracosta.org/employers/locker-project/
Bike to Work Day
To celebrate National Bike Month and California Bike Commute Week, 511 Contra Costa staff hosts “energizer stations” at various locations throughout Pleasant Hill during the morning and afternoon commute times.
These stations are designed as rest stops where bicyclists receive refreshments and other educational and promotional materials. For the 2019 Bike to Work Day, stations were located at the Pleasant Hill BART station, Contra Costa Canal Trail at Gregory Lane, and at the Contra Costa Canal Trail and Golf Club Road intersection.
Contra Costa SchoolPool
511 Contra Costa’s SchoolPool program encourages students to use the public bus system, rather than private vehicles, to get to and from school. As a financial incentive, 511 Contra Costa provides free County Connection or Tri Delta Transit punch passes for 6th through 12th grade students. To be eligible for the program, parents or guardians must pledge that their students will take the bus instead of being driven to and from school, and they must agree to complete a follow-up survey to determine the effectiveness of the program. Pleasant Hill is among the many Contra Costa communities served by this program.

511 Contra Costa provides a “route builder” tool for bicyclists looking for a route using bikeways to their destination.
511contracosta.org/bike/
3.8.2. Enforcement
Targeted Enforcement
At the beginning of every school year, the Police Department increases patrols around schools, specifically locations with uncontrolled crosswalks.
3.8.3. Engineering
Traffic Calming
The City explores the use of various traffic calming devices such as signage and pavement markers along City streets to encourage lower vehicle speeds, with the ultimate goal of enhancing vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian safety. Improvements are considered for implementation as a part of annual street resurfacing projects or in response to customer service requests.
3.8.4. Maintenance
Pothole and Sidewalk Maintenance
Pedestrians and bicyclists are vulnerable to injury caused by potholes and cracks in the roadway and sidewalk.
The City Maintenance Department typically responds within 48 hours to reports of localized pavement deterioration. Because residents are responsible for maintaining sidewalks along their property, the City notifies the responsible landowner about any sidewalk repair needs via a form letter.
Street Sweeping
Like potholes and cracks, roadway debris can endanger bicyclists and pedestrians. All City-maintained streets are swept on a monthly basis, and a schedule can be found at the following website:
www.pleasanthillca.org/392/Street-Sweeping.

4. Needs Analysis
This chapter presents the needs of bicyclists and pedestrians in Pleasant Hill. It summarizes the public outreach process used to gather input from community members, provides a general overview of the needs of bicyclists and pedestrians, and analyzes the history of bicycle and pedestrian collisions in Pleasant Hill. The chapter also includes two maps illustrating the locations where bicycle and pedestrian improvements are needed: The Bicycle Priority Areas and the Pedestrian Priority Areas. This chapter concludes with estimated biking and walking activity levels in Pleasant Hill.
Public Outreach
Public outreach is essential in the development of a Plan that meets the needs of all bicyclists and pedestrians.
As part of the Pleasant Hill Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan outreach, a website was launched in April 2020. The website provided general information about the plan, maps of existing and soon to be implemented facilities, as well as an interactive web map, where users were invited to draw on the map and enter free-form comments. Users entered over 175 lines and points, each with an associated comment or suggestion. These comments helped identify areas of concern and prioritize safety improvements. A Town Hall meeting was hosted at City Hall in April 2023 to provide an update and gather additional feedback from the community.
Bicyclist and Pedestrian Types
This section describes the general characteristics and needs of bicyclists and pedestrians.
4.2.1. Bicyclist Types
An effective bicycle network accommodates bicyclists of all ages and abilities using a variety of bikeway types.
This section describes the different types of bicyclists and their needs and preferences.
Casual bicyclists include adults and children that bicycle for recreation and for relatively short distances (approximately one to five miles). They generally prefer roadways with low traffic volumes and low speeds, which are most appropriate for bicycle routes. They also prefer paths that are physically separated from roadways. Casual bicyclists may be found on any of Pleasant Hill’s residential roadways and paths.
Utilitarian bicyclists include adults and children that bicycle to run errands, commute to work and school and might use the bicycle as their main form of transportation. Biking distances can range from less than a mile to 10 or more miles. They typically choose direct routes, which may include arterial roadways with or without bike lanes, to reach specific destinations. They may also use paths and any combination of bikeway types to reach their destination. Utilitarian bicyclists may be found on roadways in downtown Pleasant Hill, near schools or other community destinations.
Recreational/Sport bicyclists include adults, sometimes riding in groups, that bicycle to train for riding events and exercise. Biking distances are usually more than 15 miles on scenic roadways, regardless if a bikeway is present. Bicycle routes typically follow a loop. Sport bicyclists may be found on Pleasant Hill Road, Alhambra Avenue, and the west ends of Grayson Road and Taylor Boulevard, on their way to Briones Regional Park.
4.2.2. Pedestrian Types
Everyone walks at some point during the day. For the purposes of the BPMP, walking also refers to wheelchair users and people using mobility assistive devices.
An effective pedestrian network provides direct and comfortable access to community destinations, while meeting Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. Connectivity to community destinations relies on the
10.2.b
Packet Pg. 188 Attachment: Attachment B - Pleasant Hill Bike & Pedestrian Master Plan_030824_reduced (Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan) City of Pleasant Hill BPMP – March 2024 Needs Analysis | 27 existing roadway network, which in many areas of Pleasant Hill is a disconnected grid pattern that forces pedestrians to walk along and cross busy collector and arterial streets. As a result, Pleasant Hill’s street network and land use promote driving. Residents who walk for shopping and to work generally do so out of necessity.
Collision Analysis
This collision analysis identifies challenging locations for biking and walking in Pleasant Hill along with traffic codes violated in pedestrian and bicyclist involved collisions. The analysis is used to guide and prioritize bikeway and pedestrian infrastructure improvements included in the BPMP’s recommendations. The collision analysis uses the most currently available Statewide Integrated Traffic Records (SWITRS) data– through 2020, and was downloaded from the UC Berkeley Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS). TIMS/SWITRS data is generally the best available information for analyzing collisions in California, but this data only includes reported collisions with filed police reports. Near misses and collisions on private property are not included in the SWITRS database.
For Caltrans funding eligibility, the BPMP must present collision data from at least five years prior to the most current data available. This BPMP’s analysis uses data from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2020.
4.3.1. Bicyclist Related Collisions
Table 4-1 presents the number of bicyclist related collisions by year between 2016 and 2020. There were 45 total bicyclist related collisions during the study period resulting in 45 bicyclist injuries. While there were 11 bicycle-related collisions in 2016, and 12 in 2017, this number remained at 12 collisions in 2018, yet dropped to 7 and 3 bicyclist related collisions in 2019 and 2020. Although the 2020 number almost certainly reflects changes in travel patterns due to the COVID-19 pandemic, bicyclist related collisions in Pleasant Hill have trended downward since 2014, when 20 were recorded that year.

Table 4-3 presents the vehicle code violations associated with bicycle-related collisions. Of the reported collisions that involved bicyclists, bicyclists were at fault 55% of the time. The most common violation among bicyclists was wrong-way-riding, which occurred in about 46% of collisions where the cyclist was found to be at fault. Motorists were reported at fault 11% of the time, although given the number of records where the party at fault was not recorded, this may be much higher. The most common violation among motorists was ‘Automobile Right of Way,’ a violation category that includes nearly any type of violation by a driver of a bicyclist’s right of way such as passing too closely or failing to yield to a cyclist when pulling out of a driveway.

4.4.1. Potential Bikeway Improvement Areas
While Pleasant Hill benefits greatly from
the continuous Contra Costa Canal Trail,
the City’s existing on-street facilities are
disconnected. However, there are
opportunities to improve the existing
network with a continuous system of
bikeways that connect to key destinations.
This potential network can include major
arterials and collector streets with
dedicated bicycle space and shared-use
streets within neighborhoods.
Figure 4-2 presents bicycle priority areas.
The map shows existing facilities, facilities
that have been planned and funded and
that will soon be implemented, as well as
gaps in the Pleasant Hill bicycle network.
These are corridors or parts of corridors
that connect different areas of the City that do not currently have any bicycle facilities on them. A continuous bicycle network offers greater comfort and connectivity throughout the City and encourages more people with a wider range of ages and abilities to bike to their destinations.
Boyd Road and Gregory Lane, for example, are the only east/west corridors that fully traverse central Pleasant Hill, connecting the west side and east side of the City, and only a few segments have a bicycle facility.
The bikeway gaps identified in this section are reflected in the recommendations described in Chapter 5, Recommended Bicycle Facilities.

4.4.2. Pedestrian Priority Improvement Areas
The existing pedestrian facility conditions and connections in Pleasant Hill offer many improvement opportunities. To identify pedestrian priority areas for future improvements, a composite score was calculated for each roadway segment based on the following criteria: the presence or absence of sidewalks, the number of nearby pedestrian related collisions, close proximity to a school, bus stop, park, or civic building, and whether or not the road segment was in or adjacent to a commercial area.
Segments near schools, bus stops, parks, civic buildings or in commercial zones were awarded points because these
destinations create higher levels of foot traffic and require more and higher quality pedestrian infrastructure than
other areas in the City. Segments received a scaled score depending on the number of collisions occurring within 250 feet of the segment. A scaled score was also awarded to segments missing sidewalks. Segments missing sidewalks on one side of the street were awarded half the score as
segments missing sidewalks on both sides of the street.
Figure 4-3 presents the pedestrian priority areas, with thicker and darker shaded segments indicating higher
priority. These areas may already have high pedestrian
activity or there may be potential to increase pedestrian activity with better walking conditions.
Sidewalks are the most important pedestrian facility, and some of the pedestrian priority areas have incomplete or missing sidewalks, including sections of Taylor Boulevard west of Contra Costa Boulevard.
The analysis prioritizes many segments near the Downtown, which is a Priority Development Area (PDA). Much of this area consists of mixed-use development located off the roadway network, where pedestrians travel on a system of paths meandering through buildings. Improvement opportunities within this area may be mostly in the form of enhanced roadway crossings.
The other PDA is located at the Diablo Valley College Plaza and is also prioritized. This area is adjacent to Diablo Valley College and includes commercial centers and multi-family housing units. Many college students live in this PDA.

The U.S. Census data provides information for comparing biking rates in different jurisdictions. The Census only collects information on transportation modes residents use when commuting to work and not for other purposes (e.g., school trips, shopping, exercise); therefore, the Census data undercount the true number of people biking or walking in a community. However, Census data can be used to compare biking and walking among jurisdictions and across years.
Pleasant Hill’s bike-to-work mode share is 1%, nearly the same as for the State of California yet higher than that of Contra Costa County, as shown in Table 4-8. Pleasant Hill’s walk-to-work mode share is lower than that of the State of California and higher than that of Contra Costa County. Pleasant Hill has a transit commute rate higher than the County and more than double that of the State. This indicates an opportunity to support biking and walking as the first mile and last mile to and from transit stops.

5. Recommended Bicycle Facilities
This chapter presents recommended bicycle facilities that provide a continuous and comprehensive network of bikeways throughout Pleasant Hill. The recommendations are developed through input from the public, City staff, and technical analysis. The objectives of the recommended bikeways are to eliminate gaps and to create a safe and seamless network for bicyclists.
For Pleasant Hill, all four of the Caltrans bikeway types are recommended depending on the context: Class I multi-use paths, Class II bike lanes, and Class III neighborhood bicycle boulevards. This chapter provides possible enhancements (e.g., parking restriction, lane narrowing, or lane reduction) along various arterial and collector roadways to accommodate at minimum Class II bike lanes. The plan has two types of Class III bicycle facilities, bike routes and neighborhood bicycle boulevards. While Class III bike routes will be maintained, the Class III neighborhood bicycle boulevards are recommended on residential streets that provide alternate routes to major roadways and provide cross-town connections. Shared lane markings may be used where appropriate to raise motorists’ awareness of the presence of bicyclists.
Serving Multiple Users
Bicyclists of all skill levels were considered during the development of the recommendations. Casual Bicyclists typically prefer lower stress facilities like neighborhood bike routes and separated multi-use paths to avoid high speed vehicular traffic. This group is served by recommendations for neighborhood bike routes, separated bikeways, and multi-use paths. Commuter/Utilitarian Bicyclists typically ride on roadways that provide direct access to jobs, commercial centers, and transit stops. This group may be served by the proposed bikeways on major roadways. Recreational/Sport Bicyclists typically ride on scenic routes—often narrow roadways with only enough paved width for bicycle routes. This group is served by recommendations for recreational bike routes and wayfinding signage.
Recommended Bicycle Improvements
This BPMP recommends 39 miles of new bikeways that will expand the City’s existing bikeway miles and establish a seamless network for bicyclists. The majority of the recommended bikeways are neighborhood connectors. Table 5-1 presents the total bikeway network mileage.

5.1.1. Recommended Bikeways
Class I Multi-Use Paths: Recommended Class I paths were identified with guidance from City staff and field verified. A total of 7.4 miles of Class I paths are recommended along:
• Paso Nogal Road (West of Morello Avenue), north side: widen existing path to meet Caltrans minimum widths.
• Grayson Creek (North of Viking Drive) access road adjacent to Diablo Valley College. • Gregory Lane connecting the Canal Trail to Downtown Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Boulevard • Ellinwood Creek Connector Path.
• EBMUD trail connecting north and south to Downtown Pleasant Hill • Monument Boulevard connecting Downtown Pleasant Hill to the Iron Horse Trail Class II Bike Lanes: All arterial and collector roads in Pleasant Hill were evaluated to determine if bike lanes could be striped or if lane reductions may be needed to accommodate bike lanes. Particular attention was paid to gaps in the bikeway network. Where sufficient width is available, bike lanes may be striped with an additional min. 2-foot wide buffer area between the bike lane and the travel lane or between the bike lane and the parking lane, or both. The BPMP recommends a total of 2.3 miles of new bike lanes on the following roadways. • Cleaveland Road
• Crescent Drive
• Coggins Drive
• Paso Nogal Road
• Lucille Lane
• Buskirk Ave
Class III Bicycle Routes: On major roads where bike lanes cannot be provided, signed bike routes are recommended for network continuity. These bike routes are intended to accommodate experienced bicyclists who are confident riding with traffic. The City will continue to evaluate whether these locations in the future can be upgraded to full bike lanes. The City may determine that use of shared lane markings (SLMs) on major roads are appropriate to raise motorists’ awareness of the presence of bicyclists. While there may be Class III bike routes on arterials today, the Bike Plan emphasizes Neighborhood Bicycle Boulevards. It recommends creating new Class III Neighborhood Bicycle Boulevards instead.
Class III – Neighborhood Bicycle Boulevards: The NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide6 recommends that
Bicycle Boulevards should be on streets with no centerline or a one-way, single lane street, have speeds less than 20 mph, and 1,000-2,000 average daily traffic counts. The BPMP recommends a total of 17.2 miles of Class III Neighborhood Bicycle Boulevards mostly on neighborhood streets. Shared Lane Markings (SLMs) are recommended on all neighborhood routes. SLMs serve three functions: 1) indicate to bicyclists where they should position themselves in the roadway to “take the lane” and to avoid collisions with opening car doors; 2) remind motorists to share the road with bicyclists; and 3) provide wayfinding guidance along neighborhood connectors. In addition, streets designated as neighborhood bike routes should include the following recommendations:
Improving Major Street Crossings
A person’s comfort level biking on a low volume neighborhood street can be impacted when crossing a high volume arterial. Treatments such as protected intersections, bike boxes, traffic signals, or curb extensions improve the visibility and safety of bicyclists at major crossings. 6 Urban Bikeway Design Guide, Choosing an All Ages & Abilities Bicycle Facility. (2014). In Island Press/Center for Resource Economics eBooks. https://doi.org/10.5822/978-1-61091-582-3.
10.2.b
Packet Pg. 200 Attachment: Attachment B - Pleasant Hill Bike & Pedestrian Master Plan_030824_reduced (Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan) City of Pleasant Hill BPMP March 2024 Recommended Bicycle Facilities | 39 Reducing or Preventing Speeding
Research shows that the severity of an injury to a bicyclist in a collision is related to the speed of the vehicle. Neighborhood Bike Routes are recommended for bikeways with posted speeds of 25 MPH or less. This could include reducing speeds through traffic calming measures (speed humps, chicanes, curb extensions) and reducing posted speeds to create a more bicycle friendly street.
Preventing High Car Volumes
The number of cars passing someone biking on the street affects the comfort of a bicyclist, particularly when sharing a lane with motor vehicles. We can look at the average numbers of vehicles per day as a proxy for comfort. For example, at 3,000 vehicles a day, a car passes a bicycle every 46 seconds. For Neighborhood Bike Routes, having 2,000 vehicles per day is preferred and 3,000 vehicles per day is acceptable. For roadways with higher volumes, traffic diversion methods should be considered.
Increasing Pavement Quality
Cracks, potholes, and bumps can make riding these streets uncomfortable. It is recommended to prioritize repaving Neighborhood Bicycle Boulevards.
Class IV – Separated Bikeway: On arterial and collector streets, the city should seek to implement Class IV – Separated Bikeway with physical separation from adjacent vehicle traffic to provide the highest level of comfort for bicyclists. The BPMP recommends that the complete length of Taylor Boulevard from Contra Costa Boulevard to the southern City Limits be considered for Class IV – separated bikeway treatments, as feasible given right-of-way and topographical constraints and balanced with other green street design treatments.
Physical separation treatments can include, but not be limited to permanent physical raised islands, temporary ridged but movement barriers, or flexible posts. The BPMP recommends a total of 12.1 miles of separated bikeways.
• Taylor Boulevard
• Contra Costa Boulevard
• Morello Avenue
• Pleasant Hill Road
• Oak Park Boulevard
• Coggins Drive
• Chilpancingo Parkway
Study Corridors: Portions of Oak Park Boulevard, Pleasant Hill Road, Gregory Lane, Morello Avenue, and the Canal Trail have been identified as Study Corridors. These corridors require further analysis, evaluation, and community outreach to determine the most appropriate bicycle and pedestrian treatments (See Section 9.1).
This may mean that a Class I multi-use path is selected instead of a Class IV separated bikeway, for example.
These corridors are key to completing the City’s low-stress bikeway network.

5.1.2. Bicycle Support Infrastructure
Traffic Signal Bicycle Detection
City traffic signals are fully actuated and
are operated by video camera or
pavement loop detection. A car or
bicycle must be detected to trigger a
green light. Pavement loops sense a
change of inductance when a metallic
object passes over it. Due to the limited
amount of metal on a bicycle, pavement
loops sometimes may not be able to
detect the presence of bicycles.
Recommendation: The BPMP
recommends the City explore calibrating
loop detection at signalized
intersections and painting bicycle loop
stencils on bikeways. As the City
performs major work on intersections
and signals, the BPMP recommends the
City install video detection cameras at traffic signals to better detect bicycles.
Crossing Improvements at Unsignalized Locations
Unsignalized crossings of major roadways along the neighborhood bike routes will need to be improved in order to facilitate safe and efficient crossings for bicyclists. In many cases, if crossings are improved, these neighborhood bike routes would serve bicyclists with minimal additional improvements.
Recommendation: The City should continue to evaluate all unsignalized crossings of major roadways at proposed neighborhood bike routes and identify infrastructure improvements that will better facilitate safe bicycle and pedestrian crossings.

Packet Pg. 203 Attachment: Attachment B - Pleasant Hill Bike & Pedestrian Master Plan_030824_reduced (Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan) City of Pleasant Hill BPMP March 2024 Recommended Bicycle Facilities | 42 Bicycle Parking
Pleasant Hill has installed bicycle parking stalls at
many destinations, including Downtown, the
library, community centers, and parks. However,
the City’s bicycle parking ordinance does not
stipulate the type of bicycle parking required of
development projects.
Amending the bicycle parking ordinance to set
bicycle parking requirements based on land use
will ensure that bicyclists will have the appropriate
facility to park their bicycle at their destinations.
Cities throughout the San Francisco Bay Area have
adopted bicycle parking ordinances based on a
variety of criteria. Some cities base the number of
bicycle parking stalls and bicycle parking facility
types on land use.
Recommendation: This BPMP recommends the
City explore a study to determine the appropriate
factors from which to derive bicycle parking
requirements. The Association of Bicycle and Pedestrian Professionals (APBP) provides sample bicycle parking requirements. In addition, the City may work with the 511 Contra Costa Bicycle Parking Program, which offers assistance to provide bicycle parking upon request of employers and multi-family housing owners.
Showers and Changing Rooms
Similar to bicycle parking requirements, a shower and changing room requirement ordinance supports bicyclists. Many people do not bike to work or other destinations because they do not have a place to shower, change, or store their biking clothes. Employers that provide shower and changing rooms will encourage employees to bike to work.
Recommendation: This BPMP recommends the City explore ways to encourage employers to provide shower/changing room facilities so employees will have an incentive to bike to work.
5.1.3. Micro-mobility
“Micro-mobility” is a term that refers to the growing suite of small, human or electric-powered transportation vehicles such as e-scooters and skateboards that are complimentary to the bicycle as low-speed mobility devices. These devices may be personally owned or part of a shared mobility service (such as bike share, scooter share, etc.). In particular, shared micro-mobility systems broaden the suite of choices that provide an alternative travel mode to the car, and early research and evaluation suggests that shared micromobility devices hold benefits for stimulating transit ridership and reducing congestion. In 2022, the Pleasant Hill City Council approved a 12-month pilot program for Bird to operate e-scooters in the city. In the Fall of 2022, Bird launched its e-scooter services. The Bird program has since been discontinued. The City of Pleasant Hill will be participating in the new CCTA Micro-Mobility Program that includes bike share and scooters as part of a Countywide micro-mobility expansion program.
Key considerations of micro-mobility includes:
• On-Street Bikeway Design: Bicycle infrastructure should assume use by low-speed devices such as escooters, mobility scooters, skateboards, roller skates, and tricycles. Additional width and buffer space
10.2.b
Packet Pg. 204 Attachment: Attachment B - Pleasant Hill Bike & Pedestrian Master Plan_030824_reduced (Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan) City of Pleasant Hill BPMP March 2024 Recommended Bicycle Facilities | 43 from vehicles provides greater level of comfort for all users. Wider on-street bikeways allow for a range of users and micro-mobility devices to operate separated from vehicular travel lanes. • Trail and Sidewalk Requirements: e-scooters are prohibited on sidewalks, curbs, or marked on-street parking stalls pursuant to State law.
• Shared Micro-Mobility System Regulations: Cities have largely shifted away from procurement and exclusive contracts for establishing bike and scooter share. Licensing or permitting programs are used as a way to manage micro-mobility providers, including establishing the rules, responsibilities, and conduct of operators. Cities can control where micro-mobility units are concentrated through two primary methods: system rebalancing requirements and geofenced operation boundaries. System rebalancing requirements allow cities to identify key locations or areas where units should be located after recharging. Geofenced operation boundaries allow cities to define zones where dockless mobility units should not be ridden. These boundaries are most often enforced by in-app warnings, accompanied by user penalty fees for riding outside of an approved area. For any vendorsponsored micro-mobility program, it is recommended the City establish a pilot phase for data collection, including trip origins and destinations, routes, vehicle use, crash reports and complaints are collected and analyzed, in addition to structured community feedback. Pilot programs allow cities to remain flexible and provide an opportunity to adjust permit terms, consider proposals from different service providers, and incorporate community input into program planning before approving a longterm permit program.

6. Recommended Pedestrian Facilities
This chapter presents recommended pedestrian facilities that support the City’s existing sidewalk installation and crossing improvement programs. The public identified locations in need of pedestrian facilities through the project website and public meetings. Recommended pedestrian facilities incorporated the public’s input and the City’s ongoing programs to build sidewalks and improve crossings. In addition, the recommendations were developed to support the Pedestrian Priority Areas that were identified in Chapter 4 of the BPMP.
Recommended Pedestrian Improvements
Recommended pedestrian improvements include potential new sidewalks and crossing improvements.
Sidewalk recommendations are consistent with the City’s Pedestrian and Bicycle Program (Measure K), and the crossing recommendations are in alignment with the City’s Crosswalk Priority List. This chapter also includes approved sidewalk installation projects identified in the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
6.1.1. Sidewalk Installation Program
The City has a long-term goal to construct sidewalks on at least one side of the street in Pleasant Hill along identified pedestrian routes. Sidewalks recommended in this chapter support the City toward that goal. New sidewalks are recommended to be a minimum of five feet wide. Actual sidewalk width should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and should meet the needs of the nearby land use. Figure 6-1 presents the recommended new sidewalks that fill the most critical gaps in the pedestrian network and crossing recommendations. Chapter 9, includes a list of recommended sidewalks and crossing improvements. Pedestrian Priority Areas, presented in Chapter 4, Needs Analysis, provides a basis for identifying the critical sidewalk gaps by identifying the areas with the most pedestrian demand based on proximity to schools, commercial areas, transit, and gaps in the overall network. In total, the BPMP recommends 8.2 miles (43,349 linear feet) of new sidewalk.
6.1.2. Crossing Improvements
The City maintains a prioritized list of pedestrian crossing locations in need of improvements. These locations are ranked based on collision history, potential for collision, traffic volume, posted speed limit, and number of travel lanes. The list is developed and updated in coordination with the City's Traffic Safety Commission, and it is on file with the City's Engineering Division. Typical crosswalk improvements include (but are not limited to) pedestrian actuated crosswalk flashing beacons, high visibility crosswalk striping, advanced yield striping, crosswalk signs, ADA curb ramps, and/or concrete curb extensions.

7. Wayfinding Signage
Wayfinding is a term used to describe signage that helps people determine their location and directs them along a route to get to their destination. By installing wayfinding signage for bicyclists and pedestrians, the City demonstrates a commitment to integrating these users into the transportation network.
Wayfinding signage directs bicyclists and pedestrians to the most direct route to their destination. It also encourages visitors and residents to bicycle and walk in Pleasant Hill by letting people know that it is possible to walk and bike to their destination.
Pleasant Hill has many bicycle and pedestrian destinations, and as recommended capital improvement projects in the BPMP get implemented, the City moves closer to having a complete and seamless non-motorized network. Nevertheless, even before constructing any new facilities, Pleasant Hill demonstrates a wayfinding need. The Contra Costa Canal Trail, Iron Horse Regional Trail, and EBMUD Trail provide inter-city connections for bicyclists and pedestrians, but they have very little wayfinding signage to other destinations in Pleasant Hill. Bicycle and pedestrian connections from the Pleasant Hill BART station to destinations in Pleasant Hill are not well-signed.
Standard Signs for Bicycle Wayfinding
The California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD) provides a standard wayfinding signage design for bicyclists. The standard signs, pictured on this page, maintain a design consistent with other roadway signs, i.e. green background and white typeface. The City may add its logo to display community identity.
While CAMUTCD provides guidance for sign design and installation, it does not provide detailed guidance for developing a hierarchy of destinations and locating signs. Communities throughout the United States have developed more detailed guidelines for designing and locating bicycle and pedestrian wayfinding signage. This section draws on the bicyclist wayfinding signage design and implementation plan developed by the City of Oakland.7
Sign Types
Wayfinding signage can be divided into three sign types, described below, each with a specific purpose.
Confirmation Sign: Confirms that a bicyclist is on a designated bikeway. Consists of a standard D11-1 Bike Route sign and a destination distance sign (D1-1b). Installed mid-block or on the far side of intersections.
Turn Sign: Directs bicyclists along a bikeway when it turns. Consists of a standard D11-1 Bike Route sign and a directional arrow plaque (M7-1). Installed on the near side of intersections.
Decision Sign: Directs bicyclists to popular destinations. Consists of a standard D11-1 Bike Route sign and a plaque with destination name and arrow. Decision signs are installed where two bike routes cross, on the near side of intersections.
7 More information about Oakland’s wayfinding signage plan can be found here: http://www.oaklandpw.com/page122.aspx
10.2.b
Packet Pg. 208 Attachment: Attachment B - Pleasant Hill Bike & Pedestrian Master Plan_030824_reduced (Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan) City of Pleasant Hill BPMP – March 2024 Wayfinding Signage | 47 Sign Placement
The following principles should be considered when installing wayfinding signage. • A confirmation sign should be installed at the beginning of every bikeway. • A turn sign should be installed in advance of where a bikeway turns. • A decision sign should be installed at the intersection of bikeways. • A decision or turn sign should be installed in advance of a left turn in a bikeway. Installation location of the sign should consider the number of lanes a bicyclist must merge across to access the left turn lane: No lane to merge: 25 feet; Two lanes: 100 feet; Three lanes: 200 feet.
Sign Frequency
On average, the City should install signs every one half mile to one mile, depending on the number of intersections (street density). For example, wayfinding signage along Gregory Lane should be installed at least every half mile and signage along Viking Drive should be installed every half mile or more. A typical bikeway mile will have three signs, one at each end, and one at mid-point.
Destinations
Pleasant Hill has a multitude of destinations for bicyclists. Categorizing destinations into primary, secondary and tertiary will inform the City as to the appropriate destination to display on a given wayfinding sign. To avoid visual clutter, the number of destination signs should be limited to three per post.
Primary destinations are regional destinations and should be displayed on signs at the greatest distance from the destination and maintain display priority with close proximity. These may include BART and neighboring communities of Walnut Creek, Concord, Lafayette, Martinez, and Contra Costa County.
Secondary destinations are popular local destinations and are displayed within two miles from the destination.
These may include downtown Pleasant Hill and Diablo Valley College.
Tertiary destinations are only relevant to users within close proximity of the destination. These may include schools, library, community centers, parks, and entrances to the Contra Costa Canal Trail, Iron Horse Regional Trail, and EBMUD Trail.

8. Recommended Programs
This chapter presents possible programs that the City can explore to support biking and walking. The programs as summarized in Table 8-1. Programmatic recommendations follow a multi-disciplined strategy that incorporates the six Es: engagement, equity, education, encouragement, engineering, and evaluation, which work in unison to help foster a healthy biking and walking culture.
Every recommended program requires some level of partnership between the City, other government agency, school, or advocacy group. Given that any one of these partners could take the lead in program implementation, recommendations present possible partnerships for each program and identify estimated cost and associated staffing/material requirements. The City may use its discretion in implementing the recommended programs as funding and staff time permit.

Safe Routes to School is a multi-disciplined
program that incorporates a comprehensive
approach to improve safety and increase
biking and walking to schools. A successful
SR2S program incorporates all of the
program’s key components, known as the six
Es:
• Engagement
• Equity
• Education
• Encouragement
• Engineering
• Evaluation
See Section 8.3 for more information on the
SRTS plan.
8.1.1. Developing a Safe Routes to Schools (SRTS) Plan
Walking, bicycling, and rolling are essential modes of transportation for students to get to and from school, as increased physical activity is associated with many wellness and learning outcomes, in addition to broader community benefits like reduced vehicle traffic and improved air quality near schools. However, many significant barriers exist to walking and rolling to schools and other local community destinations, especially for one of the most vulnerable roadway users - children. Increases in collision rates and other safety (traffic and physical) and comfort issues strongly discourage families from walking and rolling. Safe Routes to Schools Plans can analyze existing conditions and provide school-specific and citywide infrastructure, program, and policy recommendations to support and encourage walking and rolling to schools.
The development of an SRTS Plan should include all relevant stakeholders and partner agencies, including the City of Pleasant Hill (with representation from all relevant departments), Mt. Diablo Unified School District (MDUSD), neighboring cities/jurisdictions (based on school enrollment boundaries), other school districts that operate within or near Pleasant Hill, school staff, students, families, and other local community stakeholders. The SRTS Plan should include the following:
• Review of existing SRTS citywide policies and programs • Review of existing school travel conditions
• Citywide policy and program recommendations
• Review of existing conditions around each school area • Infrastructure recommendations for each school area
• Implementation/funding strategy (including project prioritization) • Community engagement
Community engagement is a critical component of any successful planning effort. In the SRTS context, community engagement can take many forms, including attendance at school walk audits, community
10.2.b
Packet Pg. 211 Attachment: Attachment B - Pleasant Hill Bike & Pedestrian Master Plan_030824_reduced (Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan) City of Pleasant Hill BPMP – March 2024 Recommended Programs | 50 surveys, community meetings, and various forms of digital engagement. Community Engagement should also be mindful of community language and accessibility needs to maximize engagement.
Within Pleasant Hill, SRTS programming is led by Street Smarts Diablo (www.streetsmartsdiablo.org), which delivers bicycle and pedestrian safety programs at no cost to qualifying public schools in Central and East Contra Costa County. Street Smarts Diablo is managed by 511 Contra Costa, with funding from the Contra Costa Transportation Authority and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District’s Transportation Fund for Clean Air. Street Smarts Diablo coordinates SR2S program activities within Pleasant Hill, including events such as International Walk and Roll to School Day. The Street Smarts Diablo website offers resources for school administrators, teachers, parents and other school stakeholders.
Recommendation: The City of Pleasant Hill should develop a Safe Routes to School Plan that provides citywide and school-specific infrastructure, policy, and program recommendations to increase the safety, comfort, practicality, and attractiveness of walking, bicycling, and rolling. An example of a school specific Safe Routes to School plan is shown in Figure 8-1 for Gregory Gardens Elementary School. These plans should be developed for each school as part of the citywide Safe Routes to School Plan.

10.2.b
Packet Pg. 213 Attachment: Attachment B - Pleasant Hill Bike & Pedestrian Master Plan_030824_reduced (Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan) City of Pleasant Hill BPMP – March 2024 Recommended Programs | 52 Bicycle Education Programs
Education programs provide an opportunity for children and adults to learn safe biking and walking skills. Safe Routes to School is a popular program that incorporates biking and walking skills into the curriculum. Local advocacy groups offer bicycle skill classes for adults.
Bicyclists were found to be at fault for 53% of bicycle related collisions in Pleasant Hill from 2016 to 2020. In nearly half of those collisions, the bicyclist was riding the wrong way. Educational programs can help increase awareness around safe and predictable biking. Typically, either a local advocacy group or the police department teaches bicycle skills and rules of the road classes.
Recommendation: This BPMP recommends the City explore working with Bike East Bay to provide adult bicycle education classes for Pleasant Hill residents. The classes could be hosted at the Pleasant Hill Community Center, City Hall, or the library. The City should continue to partner with Street Smarts Diablo for Safe Routes to School programming at local schools.
511 Contra Costa Programs
511 Contra Costa is the TDM agency for the County, and provides numerous programs that support biking and walking. Taking advantage of most of these programs only requires a request from the City or other interested and eligible parties. The recommendations below encourage the City to take full advantage of 511 Contra Costa programs.
Recommendations:
Summer Bike Challenge: 511 Contra Costa’s Summer Bike Challenge (www.511cc.org/sbc) has been successful in Pleasant Hill since 2015 at no cost to the City or participants. The City should continue to encourage and support this event.
Commuter Incentive Brochure: This BPMP recommends the City Chamber of Commerce notify employers of 511 Contra Costa’s Commuter Incentive Brochure and the benefits obtained by “Traveling Greener.” Bicycle Parking: This BPMP recommends the City notify public employers (e.g. library and community centers) of the 511 Contra Costa’s bicycle parking program if bicycle parking is needed.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Awareness Campaigns
8.4.1. Bike-to-Work Day/Month
During 2019 Bike-to-Work Day, 511 Contra Costa hosted energizer stations at the Pleasant Hill BART station, Contra Costa Canal Trail at Gregory Lane, and Contra Costa Canal Trail at Golf Club Road intersection. Energizer stations provide snacks and promotional items to the biking commuters, and they are a great way to encourage people to bicycle to work on Bike-to-Work Day. Held on the third Thursday in May, Bike-to-Work Day is merely one day of celebrating the third week in May as California Commute Week and the whole month as Bike-toWork Month.
Increased participation in Bike-to-Work month will demonstrate the City’s dedication to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and compliance with Assembly Bill 32: Global Warming Solutions.
Recommendation: This BPMP recommends the City explore increased participation in Bike-to-Work Day and Month. Additional activities may include:
10.2.b
Packet Pg. 214 Attachment: Attachment B - Pleasant Hill Bike & Pedestrian Master Plan_030824_reduced (Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan) City of Pleasant Hill BPMP – March 2024 Recommended Programs | 53 • Hosting an energizer station in downtown, which may include a speech from a local prominent figure, touting the benefits of biking to work.
• Participating in the 511.org Bike-to-Work Challenge, a contest between employers to ride the most miles to work in May.
8.4.2. Temporary Street Closure
The temporary closure of streets to vehicular traffic promotes biking and walking by allowing people to safely bike, walk, skate, stroll, connect, play, and recreate on the street. These events are typically held on the weekend. Cities around the world refer to this type of event by a variety of terms including “Sunday Streets” and “Ciclovia”. Downtown and shopping areas are ideal places for street closures and merchants benefit from the additional foot traffic. San Francisco and Oakland are among the cities in the Bay Area that have held such events.
Recommendation: This BPMP recommends the City implement a temporary street closure event to promote bicycling and walking in Pleasant Hill, such as closing Crescent Drive in Downtown Pleasant Hill for part of a weekend day. Downtown Pleasant Hill offers a variety of dining, shopping, and entertainment opportunities for Sunday Streets participants. Such an event would require notification to and coordination with local businesses and residents on the routes.
8.4.3. Bicycle and Pedestrian Access Ordinance
Bicyclists and pedestrians often have difficulty accessing buildings due to unclear routes through parking lots or poorly located bicycle racks. This is especially common in auto-oriented retail centers with large surface parking lots.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Access Ordinance would require property owners to plan for bicycle and pedestrian access. The City could require the developer to complete a Bicycle and Pedestrian Access Checklist or develop a Bicycle and Pedestrian Access Plan prior to development approval.
Recommendation: This BPMP recommends the City explore a study in determining the appropriate bicycle and pedestrian access requirements for Pleasant Hill as a step towards developing a bicycle and pedestrian access ordinance. Access requirements may include types of bicycle parking, additional parking lot treatments that accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians, and signage directing bicyclists and pedestrians through large surface parking lots.
Safety and Enforcement
8.5.1. Bicycle and Pedestrian Related Targeted Enforcement Targeted enforcement is an effective way of encouraging lawful behavior in traffic and can focus on a specific issue related to bicycle and pedestrian related collisions. The Police Department currently adds patrols around schools in September to ensure drivers are obeying school zone speed limits and yielding to pedestrians.
Motorists are not the only roadway users endangering bicyclists and pedestrians.
Recommendation: The BPMP recommends the Police Department continue targeted enforcement at schools, particularly along roadways where speeding motorists have been an ongoing issue.
Time-of-Day Bike Lane Parking Enforcement
“Time of day” bike lanes exist on segments of Patterson Boulevard and Viking Drive to coincide with school and work commutes to provide students with dedicated bike routes. For time-of-day bike lanes to serve bicyclists,
10.2.b
Packet Pg. 215 Attachment: Attachment B - Pleasant Hill Bike & Pedestrian Master Plan_030824_reduced (Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan) City of Pleasant Hill BPMP – March 2024 Recommended Programs | 54 they must be clear of parked vehicles during posted operating hours, otherwise bicyclists are forced to ride on the travel lanes where motorists may not be expecting them.
Recommendation: The BPMP recommends the Police Department conduct enforcement of parking restrictions on time-of-day bike lane segments for compliance to ensure that these bike lanes are clear of parked vehicles during posted hours of restrictions, and to ensure bicycle safety.
Evaluation and Public Outreach
8.6.1. Bicycle and Pedestrian Collision Analysis
Analyzing bicycle collision data provides the City with the locations and causes of bicycle and pedestrian related collisions, which helps the City to determine the appropriate facility improvements that may increase safety.
SWITRS is a primary source of collision data, as discussed in Chapter 4.
Recommendation: The BPMP recommends the City analyze bicycle and pedestrian collision data annually. This BPMP provides a collision analysis of years 2016 to 2020. The City may use this analysis, as well as analysis conducted for the City’s Local Roadway Safety Plan as a baseline to compare future analyses.
8.6.2. Bicycle and Pedestrian Counts
Bicycle and pedestrian count data is
important for understanding
collision rates, activity levels,
infrastructure needs, and level of
effectiveness of a project. Pleasant
Hill does not currently collect
bicycle and pedestrian counts on a
regular basis.
Recommendation: The BPMP
recommends the City explore the
feasibility of increasing its efforts to
collect bicycle and pedestrian count
data by including bicycle and
pedestrian counts as part of its
citywide traffic count program,
establishing a database of bicycle
and pedestrian counts, and coordinating with the East Bay Regional Park District for trail count information.
8.6.3. Bicycle and Pedestrian Survey
A general public survey about biking and walking behavior and the challenges encountered while biking and walking can help the City identify needs and measure project effectiveness. This information can be published as an annual or biennial report on the status of biking and walking in Pleasant Hill.
Recommendation: The BPMP recommends that the City explore administering a bicycle and pedestrian survey and analyze its results every two years. The National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation project provides sample questionnaires, recommended survey dates and administration instructions.

9. Implementation
The BPMP provides recommendations for new bikeways, sidewalks, and intersection improvements to allow people of all ages and abilities to safely and comfortably use the City’s bicycle and pedestrian network for all trip purposes. The BPMP provides improvement recommendations and general network guidelines that will require further analysis and project development by the City during implementation. While the BPMP identifies recommended treatments for specific projects, the City will determine all design level issues, including the application of technology based devices during project implementation. Unanticipated opportunities and challenges will arise during the City’s analysis, development, design, and funding of each project, and as a result, the specific designs recommended in this BPMP may be modified.
Study Corridors
Portions of Oak Park Boulevard, Pleasant Hill Road, Gregory Lane, and Morello Avenue have been identified as Study Corridors. Corridor level analysis may include evaluation of:
• Right-of-way limitations
• Cross-sectional trade-offs such as removal of parking and/or vehicle lanes • Number and type of conflicts such as driveways
• Vehicle speeds and volumes
• Travel time along the corridor
• Bicycle level of traffic stress
Through the study, the appropriate bicycle and pedestrian facilities will be identified that best meet the goals of the plan and the context of the roadway. The study will also include additional outreach to the community and other stakeholders.
Project Implementation
Improvements recommended by the BPMP will be incorporated into the City’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), which is the City’s primary project budgeting and implementation document. To ensure that the proposed networks are implemented in a systematic and efficient manner, it is the City’s intent to review capital improvement projects and new development projects in conjunction with the bicycle and pedestrian networks identified in the BPMP.
Figure 9-1 illustrates the process by which projects included in the BPMP will be implemented.

Total Cost Range $17,779,000 $46,306,000
Implementation Priority
The proposed bicycle and pedestrian networks, when fully implemented, will provide a comprehensive system throughout the City of Pleasant Hill. The BPMP recommended improvements not implemented as a part of an already funded CIP project or development project can be implemented under the City’s CIP Pedestrian and Bicycle Program (Measure K). This program will be funded through annual local Measure K allocations and other funds. The project evaluation criteria listed in Table 9-2 will be used to evaluate the priority that projects are to be selected for future budgeting in the CIP and for future application for Federal/State transportation grants. The final selection of projects for grant application will also be based on (but not limited to) the following criteria:
• Project match with grant funding criteria and intent
• Project cost comparing with grant funding level
• Partially funded projects may have higher priority for grant funding application • Other changing safety/transportation/economic factors that may increase the probability of the City securing grant funding.
Table 9-3 and Table 9-4 present the lists of bicycle and sidewalk recommendations, respectively.

Cc: Danny Milks <[email protected]>, Kristin Tennessen <[email protected]>, Robert Arias <[email protected]>, Dani Lanis <[email protected]> That's great news, thanks for the update! I have also copied my colleague Dani Lanis here, who is coordinating on other advocacy work in central Contra Costa County.
The update looks much better, and I especially appreciate the inclusion of specific goals for protected bikeways and a separate bike boulevard category to help make up a low-stress network in conjunction with trails facilities.
Regarding bike boulevards the plan references NACTO guidelines for goals around maximum vehicle speeds and volumes, which is great, but the text (page 38) over-simplifies and waters down the recommendations. I think it would be better if they directly included the chart from NACTO’s Contextual Guidance for Selecting All Ages and Abilities Bikeways, March 2014 (link here), and provided a more complete description of the facility speed/volume goals like this:
Speeds less than or equal to 20 mph (95th percentile), less than or equal to 2,000 average vehicles per day, and less than 50 vehicles per hour per direction at peak hour; or Speeds less than or equal to 25 mph (95th percentile), less than or equal to 1,500 average vehicles per day, and less than 50 vehicles per hour per direction at peak hour.
The text also says that major street crossings, traffic calming, car diverters, and paving "should" be included with bike boulevards but doesn't commit to any of these treatments. Instead I would like to see the plan commit to the development of a citywide bike boulevard design guideline including minimum design standards that are implemented on all these corridors, providing a consistent design experience for users and saving staff time by not requiring them to justify every single traffic calming element and design everything ad hoc. This guideline can also identify the type of major roadway crossing treatments
10.2.e
Packet Pg. 234 Attachment: Attachment E - Public Comment (Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan) needed to enable fully low-stress facilities, so these can be prioritized in capital plans and grant applications. This type of design standard has helped immensely in Oakland (doc here).
I also recommend that they use a separate Class IIIB designation for neighborhood bicycle boulevards, to make this more clear as a distinct low-stress bikeway designation versus typical higher stress Class III facilities.
On page 39 I recommend that this section quoted below be removed and replaced with the same Contextual Guidance for Selecting All Ages and Abilities Bikeways chart linked above. I appreciate the city's intention to prioritize some types of facilities over others, but the level of comfort and stress has more to do with the street context and the design quality, and less so the technical bikeway classification. Different types of bikeways rise to the top in various contexts, and this order of priorities list in the plan could get in the way of identifying the best option:
"The city should seek to implement facilities in the following order from greatest comfort to the least comfort as listed below:
Class I (right-of-way available with minimal side conflicts) Class IV Separated Bikeways (“cycle tracks”)
Class II Buffered Bike Lanes
Class II Bike Lanes
Class III Neighborhood Bicycle Boulevards (on lower volume streets) Class III Bike Routes (on higher volume streets where bike lanes are not feasible)" On page 39 of Page 55 under "Study Corridors" I recommend that the plan specifically indicate that the purpose of these studies is to identify a preferred treatment in service of completing the city's low stress bikeway network, without gaps.
On page 41, a separate map should be provided showing only the "low stress bikeway network", which usually would include only Class 1 trails, Class IV protected bikeways, and Class IIIB Bicycle Boulevards, but could also include other facility types in accordance with NACTO's Contextual Guidance for Selecting All Ages and Abilities Bikeways chart.
The numbers for Bike East Bay class costs in "Table 8-1: Possible Programmatic Implementation" (page 48) are very out of date. I can provide an update on this to staff but it also leads me to believe that many of the other numbers or descriptions in that table probably need to be updated too.
Feel free to incorporate any or all of the above into your communications. If you think we should put together a formal letter with recommendations I can get a Google Doc started, just let me know.

RE: Support of BPMP
Dear Pleasant Hill City Council,
We are writing to express our support in adopting the City of Pleasant Hill’s Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan (BPMP). Bike Pleasant Hill Elementary (BikePHE) is a group of parents, staff, and students working to increase the number of people walking and bicycling to school, mainly through our Walk ‘n Roll program. Participation has increased from ¼ of our student body (150/600) walking, scooting and cycling each Wednesday in the first year to ⅓ of our student body (248) participating in the second year. However, we need the city’s help in providing all ages and abilities bike infrastructure to PHE because many students live less than a half mile away from school but cannot access the school via bicycle due to the lack of safe infrastructure.
We support the BPMP’s intention to “institutionalize biking and walking as a means of everyday transport” which specifically means “a shift in the City’s transportation development strategy from an automobile-oriented focus to a ‘complete streets’ focus in order to balance the needs of multiple modes of travel.” The majority of children attending PHE live within an active transportation distance, meaning bicycling and walking could be their primary modes of transport. Objective 1.1.4 specifically calls out to “connect to schools, shopping, parks and libraries, recreational centers, trails, transit, and other neighborhood destinations”. We believe that by creating a network of safe routes to schools, Pleasant Hill will most easily reach its primary intention of connecting the city with low-stress bike routes.
We are especially enthused to see Oak Park Blvd identified in the BPMP as a study corridor.
Oak Park Blvd connects PHE to the CCC Trail, Pleasant Hill Middle School, library, EBMUD trail, and BART. Yet, this road contains only sharrows and unprotected bike lanes, which are often obstructed by parked vehicles. Last year 75 of our community members signed a letter to PH City Council specifically asking for better bike infrastructure along this route.
There is a large interest for safe bike and walk infrastructure to schools in our community. As we continue to encourage our youth to take an active commute to our elementary schools through Walk ‘n Roll programs (which now regularly occur at PHE, Valhalla and Strandwood Elementary Schools), we know that the approval of the BPMP is an important step by the city to ensure safe and convenient routes to schools for children of all ages and abilities.
Best regards,
The BikePHE Team

Packet Pg. 237 Attachment: Attachment E - Public Comment (Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan) Dear Pleasant Hill City Council and Staff,
We are a group of parents and community members that support Pleasant Hill's draft General Plan for 2040, and aligned with that vision want the city to create usable bike routes to Pleasant Hill Elementary School (PHE). Specifically, we want to see a protected bikeway (Class IV) built on Oak Park Blvd from Stevenson Drive all the way to PHE to benefit cyclists and motorists.
Many parents, kids, and staff arrive at PHE via bicycle or scooter. However, low-stress routes do not exist from all neighborhoods even though the footprint of PHE is less than 1.5 miles in all directions. Families that live south of the school may use low-stress bikeways connecting existing trails to low-traffic neighborhood streets, but families living north-east of PHE must bike on Oak Park Blvd. Even though Oak Park Blvd is shown as a shared lane bicycle route, it is not possible or safe for a small child going 6mph to share a lane with a 3,000 pound motor vehicle moving at 30mph. Families generally choose to bike on the narrow sidewalk amongst heavy pedestrian traffic, maneuvering around dangerously placed utility posts.
For many families wanting to access PHE via bicycle, there is no alternative to using Oak Park Blvd. There is no side street or back road or longer route- the only option is Oak Park Blvd.
Thus, the route should be made safe for bicyclists of all ages and abilities.
We want children in our community to safely get to school on foot or by bicycle to reduce traffic congestion, increase fitness, improve mental health, appreciate nature, and most of all to have fun with their families and peers!
Figure 1: This map shows PHE families living between Patterson Blvd and Pleasant Hill Rd (marked with yellow) that will benefit from a Class IV protected bikeway (marked with red) between Stevensen and PHE. Currently these families have no way of accessing the school via bicycle except for sharing a lane with cars, or bicycling amongst pedestrians and utility poles on a low-quality sidewalk. Thus, many choose not to bike.

Hi!
I'm writing to express my support for the bicycle and pedestrian master plan.
We love riding our bikes and walking around our beautiful city, but it doesn't always feel very safe on our narrow streets without sidewalks. We'd love to see these improvements implemented so we can be safer and more active.
Thanks!

Dear City Council members,
I am writing to you to register my support for the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and to ask that you vote in favour of adopting it at your up coming meeting. My husband and I are parents to a 1st grader, Luke, who attends Pleasant Hill Elementary School. We cycle to school every day and he loves the freedom that comes with it, the positive impact it has on his health and the environment. We also enjoy joining up with other families to ride the canal trails and attend community events like Off the Grid, Thanksgiving Day Parade as well as cycling to most of his baseball games and swim meets.
Having safe roads and bikeways for our son to continue to cycle on, alone, as he grows is so important. He already talks about “when I cycle to middle school”, “when I cycle to high school”, cycling for him is not just about riding up and down a safe suburban street we live on , it is about active and independent transportation.
Next year I will be co-chairing the bike club, Bike PHE, at Pleasant Hill Elementary, as such I am aware of the great partnerships that have already been built between bike advocates and the city. I also understand how much the city has already listened to parents and members of our community when writing this plan.
On behalf of my 6 year old son, who wants nothing more than to be able to cycle safely to his school, baseball games, soccer games, the library and I’m sure eventually down town Pleasant Hill for snacks and drinks with his friends, I ask that you please vote in favour of adopting the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.

Hi,
My name is Robin Collins. My husband and I moved to Pleasant Hill in 2013. We now have 2 girls, aged 9 and 6, both who attend Pleasant Hill Elementary school. We are active bikers and walkers in the neighborhood and strongly support the Pleasant Hill Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.
We love the location of our home, in poet’s corner off Oak Park Road. We use the canal trail on a regular basis for walks or bike rides. And our girls ride their bikes or walk down Oak Park everyday to get to PHE.
Oak Park can be a scary road. Cars speed by without regard to pedestrians and/or bikers. In the morning the sun can be blinding. We’ve seen a young bike rider get hit by a car crossing a side street at Oak Park and saw a dog’s leash get caught by a car and the dog dragged at the canal trail crossing on Oak Park. And we have personally had several close calls with cars not stopping or slowing down as we attempt to cross Oak Park at cross walks.
Any measures that make crossing or walking/riding down Oak Park would be a great improvement to the neighborhood and keep our kids and families safe. I strongly support the Pleasant Hill Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and encourage you to support the plan as well.
Thanks,
Robin Collins
