In an effort to improve roadway safety for all
users—people walking, biking, rolling, and
driving—the City of Richmond created the
Travel Safe Richmond initiative. There are
two core elements that guide the initiative,
the Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) and the
Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan (BPAP).
The LRSP and BPAP work together to
create unified policies and infrastructure
recommendations for improving safety and
comfort for roadway users of all ages and
abilities. The LRSP, adopted in July 2022,
identified traffic safety trends and developed
recommendations to fund and implement
infrastructure to help address safety issues
in Richmond. This BPAP provides a set of
infrastructure recommendations and actions
for the City of Richmond to effectively
improve the safety of vulnerable roadway
users biking, walking, and rolling (e.g., using
micromobility devices, wheelchairs, and so
on) in the short to medium term. Working
in tandem with the LRSP as part of the
Travel Safe Richmond initiative, this BPAP’s
primary goal is to guide Richmond toward a
balanced transportation system that is safe,
comfortable, accessible, and equitable for
people of all ages and abilities.
The BPAP lays out a strategy to develop
comprehensive bicycling and walking
networks that provide access to transit,
schools, parks, trails, the waterfront, and
downtown. The BPAP considered the
recommendations included in the City’s
2011 Bicycle Master Plan and Pedestrian
Plan, which provides visions for a long-
term future, including policy and program
recommendations. This BPAP also provides
an implementable strategy to design and
construct new infrastructure in the near
and medium term, with prioritization and
phasing to ensure that safety improvements
and network gap-closing projects are
manageable and fundable. Project
recommendations were developed based
on a detailed needs analysis, safety analysis
from the LRSP, and community engagement.
Richmond residents bicycling along Bay Trail.
The following chapters are included in the
BPAP:
1. An introduction to the plan and process
2. An overview of community engagement
3. Bicycle project recommendations
4. Pedestrian project recommendations
5. Guidance for implementation
A set of appendices were also developed
and include an update to the City’s bicycle
facility design guidelines and a list of
available sources of funding to jump-start
the implementation progress.

Executive Summary
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
Richmond resident walking along the Bay Trail.
The recommendations included in this
plan are designed to provide short-term
infrastructure improvements which focus on
decreasing the risk of collisions for people
walking, biking, rolling, and driving across
Richmond. Data on bicycle- and pedestrian-
involved collisions provided insight into
locations and roadways representing the
biggest safety challenges.
Richmond has a history of community-
driven planning projects (i.e., neighborhood
and corridor plans) guiding bicycle and
pedestrian planning. This BPAP consolidates
and sets those ideas into a prioritized set
of feasible, immediate actions. Further, the
plan combines past planning efforts, existing
guidance, and documentation to create a set
of achievable objectives and projects for the
City of Richmond to implement.
The BPAP included a multifaceted community
engagement process. The City used multiple
engagement methods and partnerships to
further the reach and effectiveness of the
engagement opportunities. Community
engagement included three community
workshops; three pop-up events, the
development of a project website with an
interactive webmap; coordination with the
City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory
Committee (BPAC); and, numerous meetings
with neighborhood councils. The project
website was available in English and Spanish,
and Spanish-speaking staff were available
at all community workshops and pop-up

Executive Summary
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
events. The City partnered with Rich City
Rides to lead community engagement
with Richmond’s neighborhood councils.
Throughout the BPAP’s community
engagement process, there were over 500
interactions with community members and
stakeholders.
The BPAP recommends over 86 miles
of new or improved bicycle facilities as
well as pedestrian spot improvements at
111 locations. Recommendations include
projects from other Richmond corridor
and specific plans and the recently
approved Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP).
The recommended improvements directly
respond to safety concerns and community
feedback.
Four categories drove the recommendation
of projects:
• Safety
• Health and Equity
• Connectivity
• Community Support
The BPAP sets forth 77 high priority projects,
105 medium priority projects, and 110
opportunity projects. Table 01 shows the
number of bicycle and pedestrian projects
by prioritization category. These can be
found in the tables and figures included in
the following pages. The prioritized list of
projects is not intended to be a hardened
order of projects but rather a guide to
support City of Richmond staff in selecting
projects that can fill a variety of grants,
repaving, or opportunistic situations.
The maps and tables on the following
pages summarize the high-priority bicycle
and pedestrian projects. The prioritized
lists of proposed projects create an
equity-and safety-focused strategy to
guide implementation of projects with the
highest community impact. However, as
development occurs or other changes to
the City’s transportation network take place,
the framework can be used to reevaluate
remaining projects and continue pursuing
the BPAP’s implementation. The full
prioritization breakdown can be found
in Chapter 5.

Executive Summary
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
Introduction
01 Chapter
Travel Safe Richmond
In 2021 the City embarked in a two-pronged approach to improving safety for all roadway users. Travel Safe Richmond, as the initiative was named, included a Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) and a complementary Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan (BPAP). Both components of Travel Safe Richmond work together to create unified policies and infrastructure recommendations for improving roadway safety and comfort for roadway users of all ages and abilities. This chapter describes those efforts and details how the BPAP was developed.
The BPAP covers: 1) an introduction to the plan and process, 2) an overview of community engagement, 3) bicycle project recommendations, 4) pedestrian project recommendations, and 5) directions for implementation. Additionally, the appendices include an update to the City’s bicycle facility design guidelines and a list of available sources of funding to jump-start the implementation progress.

2 Introduction
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
Local Roadway Safety Plan
Traffic safety impacts the health and comfort of all who live and travel in Richmond. The City of Richmond’s Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) identified traffic safety trends and developed systemic recommendations to fund and implement infrastructure improvements to help address safety issues. Implementing the LRSP is a step toward making Richmond’s transportation network safer and more equitable for all users.
The LRSP’s primary goals are to:
• Reduce fatal and serious injury collisions
• Ensure equitable traffic safety investments in the neighborhoods that need them most
• Support safe travel for people walking and biking, especially near schools and other high-demand areas
• Encourage safe driving through roadway design and outreach • Prepare for the future with climate-resilient transportation safety infrastructure
• Improve emergency vehicle response and access
The Richmond City Council adopted the LRSP on July 19, 2022. The recommendations from the LRSP have been incorporated into the BPAP’s recommendations.

3 Introduction
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
The Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
(BPAP) works toward building a balanced
transportation system that is safe,
comfortable, and accessible for all users
with a focus on improving conditions for
people walking, biking, and rolling (i.e., on
wheelchairs, skateboards, scooters, and
other emerging micromobility options).
The BPAP lays out a strategy to develop
comprehensive bicycling and walking
networks that provide access to transit,
schools, parks, trails, downtown, and other
community destinations. As part of this
effort, the City developed a set of project
recommendations based on thorough
needs analysis and community engagement
processes. The BPAP serves as the blueprint
for improving walking and bicycling
conditions in Richmond for the next five
years. The BPAP presents a short-term set of
actions and projects recognizing that funding
and resources will incrementally build upon
these improvements over time. This plan also
provides a plan to ensure implementation
is manageable and fundable. Input from
City stakeholders and community members
played a critical role in the development of
BPAP.
This BPAP consolidates safety
recommendations derived from the LRSP
and other past planning efforts including
corridor plans and studies, to provide
comprehensive near-term bicycle and
pedestrian infrastructure improvements. It
is the hope of the City that the proposed
improvements will make walking, biking,
rolling, transit access, and driving throughout
Richmond safer, easier, and more practical.
As part of its scope, the BPAP includes:
• A list of near-term (1-5 year)
infrastructure projects focusing on
bicycle and pedestrian safety and
comfort.
• A recommended bicycle and pedestrian
network that builds on Richmond’s
existing assets and focus on closing
existing gaps.
• A general set of design guidelines for
implementing new or improved bicycle
facilities and off-street paths (Appendix B).
• An implementation strategy
that identifies potential funding
opportunities and applies those to each
project (Appendix C ).
The proposed improvements will focus
on making walking, rolling, and biking in
Richmond safer as well as address key
gaps in the regional bicycle and pedestrian
network. The proposed improvements are
Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan

also geared toward enhancing access to and
from important regional multi-use paths, such
as the Bay Trail and Richmond-San Rafael
Bridge as well as regional transit including
BART, Golden Gate Transit, Amtrak, and
Capitol Corridor, and improved access to ferry
services offering direct access to downtown
San Francisco across the Bay. As noted,
the proposed network extends well beyond
Richmond’s borders and provides improved
access for residents, employees, patrons, and
tourists requiring regional access.
4 Introduction
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
Making Streets Safe
for All Users
Natural and infrastructure barriers
(ex. water features, railroads, highways)
can limit connectivity, alter travel behavior,
and directly affect modal access. The City
completed a demand analysis to understand
how safely and comfortably residents are
able to access important neighborhood
destinations using low-stress routes, as well
as to understand deficiencies in the network
for people biking and walking, the study
team completed a demand analysis. The
City team then overlaid these high-demand
areas with collision data better comprehend
where safety improvements could benefit
the most people. By understanding
these deficiencies and barriers, the City
developed recommendations for providing
safe and convenient access to community
destinations and activity centers, both vital
elements to the physical and mental well-
being of community members.
The City also embarked on an analysis of
collision data to understand where and
how collisions were happening throughout
the City. Using data from the University of
California Berkeley Transportation Injury
Mapping System (TIMS) for the previous five
years (2015-2019), the City identified where
bicycle or pedestrian collisions occurred in
Richmond. Several corridors exhibited a high
concentration of pedestrian/bicycle-involved
collisions. The LRSP identified corridors with
elevated collision levels and grouped them
to create a multimodal high-injury network,
shown in Figure 01 . This analysis from the
LRSP informed the efforts of the BPAP.
Past Efforts Focused
on Making City Streets Safer
Over the past several years, the City has
developed numerous citywide plans that
set safety-focused policies and goals.
Richmond has also advanced corridor
plans that include multimodal access
and safety recommendations for specific
corridors, as well as area plans that
prioritize improvements across broader
regions. The Contra Costa Transportation
Authority (CCTA) has also developed and
begun implementing countywide plans that
support the City of Richmond’s efforts and
work towards unified regional connectivity
at the county level. In general, many of the
documents reviewed for the development
of this BPAP emphasize the need for a
transportation system that supports safe,
comfortable, and equitable transportation
networks for vulnerable users (e.g., people
walking, biking, and rolling – especially
youth, seniors, and those with limited
physical mobility or limited mobility options). A Richmond resident biking through a protected intersection on Central Avenue. 5 Introduction

6 Introduction
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
Major themes throughout the documents
reviewed included:
• Need for improving safety and comfort
of all users
• Need for improving connectivity and
access to multimodal transportation
networks under a more equitable
approach
• Need to enhance connectivity to
neighboring jurisdictions
• Need to standardize implementation
of active transportation facilities and
networks
• Need to improve quality of life by
focusing on improving health (personal,
environmental, and economic)
• Commitment to encourage and
promote walking and bicycling as
viable modes of transportation
The recommendations included in this plan
consider these key themes and the previous
infrastructure recommendations made in the
plans reviewed, which are noted in Table 04 .
Additional information about the plans
reviewed can be found in Appendix A.

Sidewalks are critical pieces of infrastructure
for people walking and rolling. A number of
roads in Richmond, however, are missing
sidewalks on one or both sides of the
street. The following map, Figure 02 ,
shows known sidewalk gaps and locations
with sidewalks only on one side of the
street. This map shows gaps identified by
City staff during a staff review of limited
locations across Richmond. A full inventory
of existing sidewalks was not completed as
part of this project and, therefore, the data
is incomplete. Sidewalk-related policy and
program recommendations can be found in
Chapter 5.

8 Introduction
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
Health and Equity
Historically disadvantaged and vulnerable
populations may rely more on walking
and bicycling to meet daily needs. Safe,
healthy, affordable, and convenient
transportation options are not always
available to the disadvantaged populations
that need them most. These low-income
and unserved communities have historically
not been a part of past conversations about
transportation and planning, leading to
systemic underinvestment and conditions
where pedestrians and bicyclists are
overrepresented in collisions. A lack of
high-quality walking, biking, and transit
infrastructure can result in long, unhealthy,
unaffordable, and riskier (people bicycling
and walking are overrepresented in
collisions) travel for some of Richmond’s
most vulnerable populations.
Uneven distribution of active transportation
infrastructure, referred to in this plan as
bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure,
also results in health, safety, mobility, and
economic benefits accruing to those who
are more socio-economically fortunate while
increasing hardships for Richmond’s most
vulnerable and disadvantaged populations.
By prioritizing active transportation
infrastructure for these disadvantaged
populations, more Richmond residents will
be able to navigate the City they call home.
With this in mind, the City embarked on an
analysis of equity and health deficiencies
based on available data.
Why Did We Complete
This Analysis?
Research indicates that communities with
higher health risk factors tend to have
less access to roadway infrastructure that
promotes walking and biking.
1 Walking,
bicycling, and other forms of physical activity
benefit community members’ physical and
mental health. Increasing physical activity
can help people reduce their risk of coronary
heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other
chronic diseases. That can also lower health
care costs and improve the quality of life for
people of all ages, particularly children and
seniors with more limited mobility options.
By prioritizing abicycle and pedestrian
infrastructure for these populations, the
City can help improve safety, and residents
can reduce their transportation costs and
healthcare burden. Figure 03 shows the
weighted variables that compose the equity
and health index analysis.
1. Mahmoudi, J. “Health impacts of nonmotorized travel behavior and the built environment: Evidence from the 2017 National Household Travel Survey.” (2022). Journal of Transport & Health, 26.
Maizlish, N. “Increasing walking, cycling, and transit: Improving Californians’ health, saving costs, and reducing greenhouse gases.” (2016). California Department of Public Health: Office of Health Equity.
To understand which neighborhoods
experience the highest rate of health-related
issues, the City completed a health analysis.
This analysis included four variables:
• Life expectancy
• High blood pressure
• Heart disease
• Diabetes
These four variables were combined into an
index to provide a holistic understanding
areas of the City experiencing the highest
impacts of health related issues. As shown in
Figure 04, the areas with the highest health
burdens include the central core, including
the Richmore Village, Pullman, Santa Fe, and
Coronado neighborhoods, and the southern
portion of the City between I-80 and I-580
including the Parkview, and Southwest
Annex neighborhoods. Other areas of the
City disproportionately impacted by health
burdens include the Fairmede/Hilltop, Hilltop
Green, and May Valley neighborhoods.
To complement the health analysis, the
project team completed a socio-economic
analysis or equity index. This analysis
used the following statistics to understand
9 Introduction
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
Figure 03 Health and Equity Analysis Process
where the highest concentration of socio-
economically burdened residents is within
the City:
• Low-income households
• Population over age 75
• Rent-burdened population
• Zero-vehicle households
The indexed analysis is noted in Figure 05 .
The areas of Richmond with the highest
equity needs include the central part of
the City between Cutting Boulevard and
Macdonald Avenue and the Iron Triangle
area. The combined health and equity index
indicates the communities with the greatest
needs include the North and East, Richmore
Village, Park Plaza, Coronado, and Cortez/
Stege neighborhoods.
Figure 06 shows the combined health and
equity index scores for the entire City.
How do we compile the index?
Eight variables relating different dimensions of health and equity are aggregated to census block group geographies and are then compiled into a composite index.

How Did We Use These
Analyses?
The recommendations put forth in this BPAP
were informed by the health and equity
analyses and reflect where the most need
in the community is. The results of these
analyses were integral to the prioritization
and ranking for proposed bicycle and
pedestrian improvement projects throughout
the City. Part of the prioritization scoring
criteria includes the results of the health and
equity analyses (see Chapter 5 for details).
Following score calculations, improvements
were sorted into high, medium, and
opportunity priority categories based on
the distribution of scores. These data can
inform quick, effective changes Richmond
can more readily implement to make tangible
differences in the community.

13 Introduction
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
Community Engagement
02 Chapter
Overview
The BPAP included a multifaceted
community engagement process which
included multiple outreach methods and
partnerships to further the reach and
effectiveness of the events. Community
engagement included three community
workshops, three pop-up events, a project
website with an interactive webmap,
coordination with the City’s Bicycle and
Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC),
and 12 meetings with neighborhood
councils. Richmond partnered with Rich
City Rides, a local non-profit focused on
creating opportunities to improve health and
economics in the City by promoting cycling
as a social, sustainable and green mode
of transportation. Rich City Rides helped
lead community engagement with the City’s
neighborhood councils. The community
engagement process lasted the entire length
of BPAP’s development from November
2021 to November 2022. The community
engagement included three phases:
1. Existing conditions
2. Project recommendations
3. Draft BPAP
Community Engagement
During the existing conditions phase,
community members provided comments
on walking, bicycling, rolling, and any
transportation safety issues within
Richmond. The City used the feedback and
information gathered from this phase to help
inform the recommendations included in the
LRSP and BPAP.
The second engagement phase enabled
community members to provide input on
draft walking and bicycling recommendations
included in this BPAP. The draft
recommendations were revised based on
comments received in this engagement phase.
The Travel Safe Richmond website homepage.
The third engagement phase presented
revised project recommendations and the
draft BPAP. Changes were incorporated into
the final Plan before presentation to the
BPAC and City Council.
Details on individual events and activities are
provided in the next section. Overarching
lessons and themes from the community
engagement process are detailed in the
subsequent section.
15 Community Engagement
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
Phase 1: Existing Conditions (Fall 2021–Winter 2021-22) Project Website and Interactive Webmap
As previously noted, the City promoted community engagement for the LRSP and BPAP projects under the unified Travel Safe Richmond project. The project website, TravelSafeRichmond.org, provided an overview of both transportation planning initiatives and their shared goals. The website promoted events for both initiatives. The website launched in September 2021 and remained active throughout the BPAP’s preparation through the end of 2022. The website also included an interactive webmap requesting input from community members on where and how they bike. The webmap allowed
community members to provide location-specific comments on existing walking and bicycling facilities and other locations throughout Richmond where they had safety, access, or connectivity feedback.
During this first engagement phase, community members provided 209 comments on the webmap, as well as 240 likes/dislikes from fellow community members. Over 1,100 community members visited the website during Phase 1 of the community engagement process.
BPAC Meetings
Throughout the development of the BPAP, the City provided regular updates on the plan’s progress and coordinated feedback from the BPAC. In addition to periodic updates, the City presented the health and equity analysis to the BPAC during their January 2022 meeting.
During the meeting, the City also shared the feedback from the first community workshop.

Neighborhood Council Meetings
Rich City Rides was brought on as a member
of the community engagement team to
help support the City’s efforts to deepen
community engagement. Leveraging their
deep ties to the Richmond community and
other local organizations, Rich City Rides led
the coordination and engagement with 12
neighborhood councils over the life of the
project. They met with five neighborhood
councils in the first phase, two in the second
phase, and five in the third phase. Rich City
Rides selected the neighborhood councils to
present to based on their knowledge of the
City to focus their efforts where it would be
the most impactful.
During Phase 1 of community engagement,
Rich City Rides met with the following
neighborhood councils.
• Laurel Park Neighborhood Council
• Santa Fe Neighborhood Council
• Park Plaza Neighborhood Council
• Coronado Neighborhood Council
• Hilltop Neighborhood Council
These meetings promoted awareness of the
BPAP initiative and encouraged community
members to visit the project website to
provide their comments.

The City presented background safety information for attendees during the first workshop.
Pop-Up Event
As part of the LRSP, the project team hosted
a community pop-up event at Cafecito
con Claudia, a reoccurring meet-and-
greet with city councilmember Claudia
Jimenez, on September 25, 2021. This
pop-up event was the official launch of the
Travel Safe Richmond initiative. In addition
to promoting the launch of the project
website and interactive webmap, the pop-
up also provided an overview of roadway
safety conditions in Richmond, discussed
a safety-focused vision for Richmond, and
showcased the preliminary collision profiles
and potential improvement projects.
Community Workshop
The City hosted a virtual community
workshop on the evening of Wednesday,
December 8, 2021. An interactive
presentation anchored the workshop with
live polling and opportunities to engage
with community members throughout the
presentation. During the presentation, the
City provided an overview of Travel Safe
Richmond (consisting of the LRSP and
BPAP initiatives); included a short demo of
the project website and interactive map;
summarized the health and equity analyses;
and reviewed Richmond’s existing bicycle
and pedestrian network. The City also
provided a brief presentation on the LRSP,
creating an opportunity for attendees to ask
questions and share feedback about the
initiative’s safety-centered vision. Twenty-six
community members attended the workshop
and provided comments on the initiative.
One of the interactive word clouds generated from the first community workshop. This word cloud had 65 responses, and words with the most repetition were reflected back to respondents in the largest font. Carlson Boulevard was the street that was mentioned the most.
18 Community Engagement
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
During Phase 2, the City created an interactive webmap showing the draft recommended bicycle and pedestrian improvement projects. The map showed bicycle lanes (colored lines) and spot improvements (blue points).
Project Website and Interactive Webmap
Following the development of draft
recommended improvement projects, the City
updated the website to show draft pedestrian
and bicycle recommendations. Community
members and local stakeholders were
asked to comment on, like, or dislike draft
project recommendations. Interactive map
users were also asked to indicate additional
locations for the City to consider for bicycle
and pedestrian improvement projects. In
Phase 2, project recommendations were liked
and disliked 171 times (164 likes and seven
dislikes) and were left on the webmap by
the community. Over 600 people visited the
website during Phase 2.
BPAC Meetings
City staff continued to provide regular
updates to the BPAC on the BPAP and LRSP
projects throughout this engagement phase.
During the BPAC’s April 2022 meeting,
the City presented pedestrian and bicycle
improvement project recommendations and
requested feedback from the committee
on ways to improve/enhance the proposed
projects. The City also addressed questions
from the BPAC on the recommended
network. The City used feedback received
the BPAC to enhance the proposed projects.

Neighborhood Council Meetings
Rich City Rides continued to meet with neighborhood councils in Phase 2 of the community engagement process. These meetings continued to raise awareness for the Travel Safe Richmond initiative and focused on soliciting feedback on draft bicycle and pedestrian improvement projects through the interactive webmap. As Rich City Rides could not meet with every Neighborhood Council, the project team prioritized meeting with the Richmond Neighborhood Coordinating Council (RNCC) as an opportunity to help spread the word about Travel Safe Richmond to every council. Rich City Rides met with the following Neighborhood Councils during Phase 2:
• Richmond Neighborhood Coordinating Council
• North and East Neighborhood Council
20 Community Engagement
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
Pop-Up Events
The BPAP was promoted at two pop-up
events during engagement Phase 2. The
pop-up events were:
• 23rd Street Bridge Project, April 2022
(Design charette)
• Unity Park Earth Day Event, April 2022
(Shared event with Rich City Rides)
The Earth Day event also included large
plotted maps with project recommendations
and informational boards that community
members could comment on.
Community Workshop
On the evening of Wednesday, May 18,
2022, the City hosted an in-person, outdoor
community workshop at Richmond City
Hall. The workshop was hosted in the
central plaza and was organized around
several stations. Stations included welcome/
check-in, bicycle recommendations,
pedestrian recommendations, project
prioritization, and the LRSP. Attendees
reviewed informational boards and other
project materials and provided comments
on project recommendations, proposed
project prioritization, and the draft LRSP.
Ten community members attended the
workshop, and provided over 30 comments.

21 Community Engagement
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
The City hosted the third and final community
workshop for the BPAP virtually on the
evening of Wednesday, November 9, 2022.
During the workshop, the project team
provided a summary of updated infrastructure
recommendations (based on community
feedback) and presented the draft BPAP. The
presentation also included a demonstration
of the online interactive plan comment tool
allowing users to share their feedback on
the document. The workshop’s question-and-
answer session enabled attendees to ask
questions about the plan and share additional
ideas for project recommendations. Eighteen
community members attended the workshop.
What We Heard
Across all community engagement phases
and events, comments and feedback from
community members generally fell into four
categories:
• Safety
• Connectivity
• Safe routes to school
• Maintenance
A summary of the feedback for each theme
is provided below:
Safety
• The speed of vehicular traffic should be
reduced throughout the City.
• The City should implement traffic
calming on residential streets to
improve safety for all, especially for
people walking, biking, and rolling.
• Highway interchanges represent a
significant safety and connectivity
barrier.
• Routes to community destinations like
parks and schools need to be safe for
people of all ages and abilities.
• Street lighting needs to be improved
across the City. Enhanced lighting can
improve traffic safety and perceptions
of personal safety, and benefit trail
users.
• The City should implement
improvements that reduce the likeliness
of multi-threat collisions (i.e., crossing
multilane roads at uncontrolled
locations). These improvements would
significantly improve the safety and
comfort of people crossing large
arterial or collector streets.
Phase 3: Draft Plan–Fall-Winter 2022
City resident walking along Richmond
Wellness Trail.
Connectivity
• Richmond residents believe the City
feels disconnected, and there is a lack
of comfortable north-south routes to
cross the City.
• Major arterial streets and freeways (ex.,
San Pablo Avenue, Carlson Boulevard,
Giant Highway, I-580, I-80) act as
barriers and limit connections across
them.
• Community members want safer, more
comfortable, and easier access to
local community-serving destinations,
including parks, schools, libraries, the
waterfront/trails, and transit like BART.
22 Community Engagement
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
Safe Routes to Schools
• The City should prioritize improving walking, rolling, and bicycling access to schools.
• The City should coordinate with school stakeholders, parents, and staff to provide a more holistic approach to safe routes to schools.
Maintenance
• Sidewalks should be kept clean and repaired when needed. • Trails and walking paths should be kept clear of debris and obstructions.
• Trails should be kept clear of dumping sites.
Corridors and Intersections
In addition to these four themes, community members provided comments and suggestions for improvements along and across specific roads in Richmond. Across all engagement opportunities, community members consistently nominated several corridors and intersections for safety improvements. Those corridors included:
• 23rd Street
• Barrett Avenue
• Carlson Boulevard
• Cutting Boulevard
• Macdonald Avenue
• Richmond Wellness Trail
• San Pablo Avenue
The most frequently noted intersections by the community were:
• 23rd Street/Carlson Boulevard/Broadway
• 23rd Street/Garvin Avenue
• Richmond Greenway Gap Closure
• I-580/Marina Bay Parkway
Richmond Wellness along Marina Way, south of Florida Avenue. 23 Community Engagement

Bicycle Recommendations
03 Chapter
Bicycle Recommendations
The recommended bicycle improvement
projects discussed in this chapter are
intended to provide increased connectivity
between destinations through low-stress
facilities that are comfortable for all ages
and abilities. The proposed improvements
include shared-use paths (Class I), bicycle
lanes (Class II) and buffered bike lanes
(Class IIB), bicycle routes (Class III), bicycle
boulevards (Class IIIB) and separated
bikeways (Class IV). The proposed network
focuses on providing increased connectivity
and safety with particular attention to
areas surrounding schools, key community
destinations and increased connectivity to
BART and other regional destinations.
Based on the needs, opportunities, and
challenges identified through the existing
conditions analysis, the City developed
recommendations through an iterative
process with the community and other
local stakeholders. This chapter describes
recommended bicycle improvement
projects and provides additional information
describing the recommended infrastructure.
The proposed improvement projects serve as
a foundation to create successful, well-used,
and safe spaces for people to bike and roll.
The recommendations
in this chapter are for
planning purposes only.
Recommendations may
be altered depending on
opportunities, constraints,
and/or roadway changes.
Feasibility determination, final
design, accessibility, funding,
and implementation of any
recommended improvements
is the responsibility of the
appropriate governing agency,
“which may include City of
Richmond, BART, Caltrans, Union
Pacific Railroad, and others.
Bicyclists use two-way separated bikeway along Ohio Avenue. 25 Bicycle Recommendations
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
Class I – Shared-use Path
Dedicated paths for walking and bicycling that are completely separated from the roadway.
Class II – Bicycle Lane
Striped lanes for bicyclists located against the curb or next to a parking lane.
A shared-use path
(trail) that is part of the
San Francisco Bay.
A bike lane on 37th
Street.
Bicycle Facility Toolkit
This section includes brief descriptions of
the recommended bicycle facility types
included in the BPAP. More detailed
information and specific design guidance
for these facility types is contained in the
Design Guidelines technical document in
Appendix B . Additional design guidance for
Bay Trail facilities can be found in the Bay
Trail Design Guidelines and Toolkit available
through MTC’s website.
26 Bicycle Recommendations
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
Class III – Bicycle Route
Signed routes for bicyclists where lanes
are shared with motorists. Streets are
designated as bike routes because they are
suitable for sharing with motor vehicles and/
or provide better (or needed) connectivity
than other streets. Routes are marked with
signs and/or shared lane bicycle pavement
markings (also known as “sharrows”) to alert
motorists to expect to share this roadway
with bicyclists. The placement of the
sharrow marking delineates the position in
the lane where bicyclists are expected to be
so they are clear of car door zones and other
potential conflict areas.
Class IIIB – Bicycle Boulevard
Bicycle routes on low-speed, low-volume
streets that are further enhanced with traffic
calming features or other treatments to
prioritize bicyclist comfort. Slowing vehicles
down and improving intersection safety also
makes walking and rolling on these streets a
more comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Class IIB – Buffered Bicycle Lane
Bicycle lanes with a striped “buffer” area
either between the bicycle lane and the
travel lane or between the bicycle lane and
parked cars (sometimes in both places).
27 Bicycle Recommendations
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
Bicycle Boulevard Toolkit
Unlike other types of bicycle facilities,
bicycle boulevards are unique in a variety
of treatments can be used to achieve a
comfortable bike riding experience. there are
no specific standards or treatments. There
are three primary types of treatments that
can be used to create a bicycle boulevard:
• Signs and pavement markings
• Vehicle speed management
• Vehicle volume reduction
As the City looks to implement the bike
boulevards recommended in the BPAP, it
will determine which set of treatments can
be used to enhance safety and comfort.
Treatments will vary from simple signage and
striping only to more advanced intersection
redesigns. It is important to note that the
BPAP does not prescribe specific treatments
to be used for any of the bicycle boulevards
recommended in the plan.
Additional details on the three types of
bicycle boulevard treatments can be found
in the following pages.
Signs and Pavement Markings
Pavement Markings
Bicycle boulevards can have unique “BIKE
BLVD” pavement markings to reinforce that
the street is a shared space for bicycles and
vehicles. These pavement markings can
also include high-visibility green backing
to increase driver visibility and awareness
further.
Wayfinding Signs
Wayfinding is an essential component of
the overall bicycle network (discussed in
a subsequent section) but plays an even
more significant role on bicycle boulevards.
Bicycle boulevards can weave through
neighborhoods, increasing the importance of
the signs to help users complete their trips
on the network. Wayfinding can also raise
awareness of the presence of the bicycle
boulevard, potentially generating new users.

28 Bicycle Recommendations
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
Vehicle Speed Management
Speed Limit Reductions
In some areas, especially around schools,
reducing the speed limit below 25 MPH
may be a helpful strategy in slowing cars
and making bicyclists and pedestrians more
comfortable in the corridor.
Traffic Circle
Neighborhood traffic circles are an
alternative intersection treatment to a signal
or stop sign, and they can regulate traffic
flow while adding a calming element.
Curb Extensions
This type of improvement extends the curb
into the street and improve visibility at
intersections, slow vehicular turning speeds,
and providing additional, consolidated
queueing space. When implemented on
streets with bicycle facilities, they should
be designed with slots to accommodate the
bicycle lane.
Chicanes
Chicanes add gentle curves to otherwise
straight streets. Adding curves to the road
can slow car traffic by narrowing the travel
lane and force drivers to slow down going
around corners. The lane adjustments
can be created with striping or offset curb
extensions/landscaping.
A painted curb extension with separated
space for bicyclists next to the Lake Merritt
BART Station.
Traffic circle at Nevin Avenue and 24 th Street.Speed reduction along Harbor Way.
A chicane on a Berkeley bicycle boulevard.
29 Bicycle Recommendations
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
Pinch Points
A pinch point narrows available roadway
width with two curb extensions. Limiting
the available width creates a narrow road
environment where drivers drive slower.
Installing trees in these areas can further
narrow the profile of the road.
Speed Bumps/Speed Humps/Speed
Cushions
Speed bumps (and similar devices) are
undulations that span the width of the
roadway and encourage cars to slow down.
Speed bumps can be designed with slots for
emergency vehicles to use.
Vehicle Volume Reduction
Partial street closures, diagonal diverters,
and median diverters are variations of ways
to partially close off streets to vehicles while
maintaining pedestrian and bicycle access.
These can be useful for forcing drivers
to stay on arterial and collector streets,
reducing cut-through traffic.
Class IV Separated Bikeways
Separated bikeways provide a physical
vertical barrier between the bicycle space
and motor vehicle lanes, including bollards,
curbs, or parking.
A two-way separated bikeway on Ohio Avenue.
A partial pinch point on Nevin Avenue
near City Hall.
A diagonal diverter at Virginia/15 th Street.
30 Bicycle Recommendations
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
Road Diets
A road diet is generally described as a
reconfiguration of travel lanes to balance the
space for use by other modes of travel. This
usually requires the removal of a travel lane
which allows the roadway cross section to be
reallocated for other uses such as bike lanes,
pedestrian refuge islands, transit uses, and/
or parking. These roadway reconfigurations
offer many high-level benefits including
enhanced safety, mobility, and access for all
road users, and create a complete streets
environment along the corridor. These
benefits include:
2 • Crash reduction rates between 19-47%
• Reduced vehicle speeds
• Improved mobility and access for all
road users
• Better integration of the roadway into
surrounding land uses
Conflicts between high-speed through
traffic, left-turning vehicles, and other
road users that are more prevalent on
traditional multilane roadways can lead
to relatively higher crash frequencies
compared to roadways that have been
reconfigured. These reconfigurations allow
cities to integrate additional pedestrian
and bicycle facilities along these corridors.
Right-sizing roads with excess space, can
create a solution that addresses safety
concerns and benefits for all road users.
These reconfigurations can also be cost-
effective when combined with already
planned roadway reconstruction or overlay
(repaving and restriping) projects. Changing
a road’s configuration can sometimes
impact neighboring streets. During the
design phase of a road diet project, project
elements can be added to reduce and
mitigate impacts on neighboring streets to
reduce and control cut-through and other
diverted traffic.
Several recommended improvements
included in the BPAP will require some
form of lane reconfiguration due to existing
roadway constraints. implementation of any
road diets will require additional engineering
study and community engagement before
moving forward. Impacts to local traffic
patterns should also be assessed when
considering these roadway reconfigurations.

Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
Recommended Improvements
The BPAP recommends over 86 miles of new
or upgraded bicycle facilities across Richmond,
building on the 114.5 mile network as of 2022.
Table 05 provides an overview of existing and
recommended bicycle facilities by bikeway
classification, and Table 06 (page 36) lists
individual projects. Recommendations are
shown in Figures 07 through 09 on the
following pages.
These improvements focus on closing existing
gaps in Richmond’s network; providing key
access to local and regional community
destinations (schools, parks, transit, etc.); and
improving the health, equity, and safety of
Richmond. A clear pattern emerged around
certain hubs of activity, and the BPAP strives
to make getting to those destinations safer,
more accessible, and more comfortable for
people of varying ages and abilities.
Multiple factors were considered in the
development of recommended bicycle
improvements for a specific corridor. Some
of these factors, presence of schools
and collision history for example, were
considered when recommending facilities
that provide increased modal separation
Table 05 2022 Existing and Proposed Bikeways
Note: Total miles account for 11.6 miles of upgraded facilities.

Class IV: Separated Bikeway 4.36 20.19 24.55
Total 114.53 86.42 189.3
and traffic calming. Other factors like
traffic volumes and roadway widths which
negatively impact people bicycling, were
also considered. Based on an examination
of these factors, many of the recommended
improvements include Class IIB bicycle
boulevards and Class IV separated bikeways.
While sometimes more challenging to
implement, these two bikeway types provide
the greatest comfort and safety benefits
for people biking. These recommendations
create a connected lower-stress network
with facilities that serve people of all ages
and abilities.

Pedestrian
Recommendations
04 Chapter
The pedestrian spot improvement projects
recommended in this chapter were
developed through an iterative process
with the community and partner agencies
that included workshops and an online
interactive map. This chapter describes
the recommended projects and provides
information describing the recommended
infrastructure. The recommendations in
this chapter are intended to serve as a
foundation for creating successful, well-used,
and safe spaces for people to walk and roll.
Pedestrian Facilities Toolkit
This section includes brief descriptions
of the recommended pedestrian facility
types included in the BPAP. More detailed
information and specific design guidance
for these facility types is contained in the
Design Guidelines technical document in
Appendix B. Additional design guidance for
Bay Trail facilities can be found in the Bay
Trail Design Guidelines and Toolkit available
through MTC’s website.
The recommendations
in this chapter are for
planning purposes only.
Recommendations may
be altered depending on
opportunities, constraints,
and/or roadway changes.
Feasibility determination, final
design, accessibility, funding,
and implementation of any
recommended improvements
is the responsibility of the
appropriate governing agency,
which may include City of
Richmond, BART, Caltrans,
Union Pacific Railroad, and
others.
Pedestrian Recommendations
The pedestrian improvement projects in
the BPAP fall into the following general
categories:
• Pavement markings
• Pedestrian-actuated beacons
• Street furniture
• Sidewalks, trails, and medians
• Intersection and street design
• Projects that require additional studies
The types of pedestrian facilities described
in this section are not meant to provide an
exhaustive list of solutions. Exact solutions
for each location should be selected based
on professional engineering and planning
judgment and best practices to maximize
safety and pedestrian accessibility
45 Pedestrian Recommendations
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
Pavement Markings
Advance Stop & Advance Yield
Markings
Advance yield pavement markings, also
referred to as “shark’s teeth,” are markings
placed on the roadway before a mid-block
crosswalk or before a crosswalk at an
intersection approach without a signal or
stop sign.
Advance stop lines are solid white lines
extending across approach lanes, indicating
the point behind which vehicles must stop in
compliance with a stop sign or some other
traffic control device that requires vehicles
to stop. Advanced stop lines should be
placed in the roadway 20-50 feet before
a mid-block crosswalk or 4-30 feet before
a crosswalk at an intersection. These can
help improve the visibility of pedestrians to
people driving.
Crosswalks
All crosswalk recommendations are subject
to a pedestrian needs analysis to determine
the safest, most efficient location to install
the crosswalk.
High-Visibility Crosswalks
High-Visibility crosswalks are marked with
thick bars, drawing additional attention and
awareness to the crossing. In school zones,
these crossings are yellow instead of the
standard white color.
Decorative Crosswalks
Decorative crosswalks can add a
placemaking element to the street while
still serving a marked crosswalk’s primary
visibility and awareness objectives.
Decorative crosswalks can be themed to
reflect the surrounding neighborhood or
nearby destinations. Decorative crosswalks
must meet specific design parameters to
remain compliant with state and federal
standards; most importantly, they must
include white transverse markings around
any decorative pavement treatment.
A freshly painted high-visibility crosswalk on Marina Way.
A decorative crosswalk near the San Leandro
BART Station.
46 Pedestrian Recommendations
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
Raised Crosswalks
A raised crosswalk is a modification of a speed table. Speed tables reduce vehicle speeds by elevating the entire wheelbase of a vehicle (unlike a speed bump that raises each axel individually). Speed tables can be designed to include a mid-block raised crosswalk; in these cases, the height of the speed table matches the sidewalk. This treatment can help slow traffic while increasing pedestrian visibility to approaching motorists.
Trail Markings
Paved trails can include striping to demarcate separate areas for pedestrians and bicyclists. Especially on crowded trails with high pedestrian usage, encouraging spatial separation can reduce conflicts and improve the efficiency and consistency of travel.
A raised crosswalk in front of Hayward’s Public Library main branch. Signs and pavement markings on the Richmond Parkway Trail. 47 Pedestrian Recommendations
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
Pedestrian-Actuated Beacons
Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons
Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs)
are user-activated flashing lights used at
unsignalized intersections or mid-block
crossings. These beacons alert motorists to
the presence of people in the crosswalk.
Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons
A pedestrian hybrid beacon (PHB) is a signal
designed to increase safety for pedestrians
crossing at non-signalized locations
on multilane roadways. Thresholds for
installation vary based on the posted speed
limit, crossing distance, vehicular volumes,
and volumes of pedestrian crossings.
Scramble Pedestrian Crossings
A scramble pedestrian crossing, also
called “exclusive pedestrian phasing” is a
pedestrian-only signal phase to allow for
people walking at an intersection to walk
and cross in any direction or approach.
During this exclusive pedestrian phase, all
motorists cars have a red light during the
scramble and right-turns-on-red are typically
prohibited at these intersections. The
diagonal pedestrian crossing is often marked
at these intersections.
A RRFB across Grand Avenue in Oakland.
A newly installed pedestrian hybrid beacon
installed as part of the Yellow Brick Road
project at Barrett Avenue/8 th Street.
A scramble pedestrian crossing in Oakland’s Chinatown.
48 Pedestrian Recommendations
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
Street Furniture
Signage
Signs serve many uses, from prohibiting
movements, limiting parking, or providing
advance notice of school zones or
crosswalks.
Street Furniture/Amenities
Street furniture includes benches, transit
shelters, trash cans, newsstands, and other
items within the public right-of-way. Street
furnishings provide important amenities
for pedestrians by adding functionality and
vitality to the pedestrian realm and add
placemaking elements to the street. They
announce that pedestrians are welcome and
that the street is a comfortable place to be.
These amenities provide a functional service
to people walking and provide visual detail
and interest.
Pedestrian-Scale Lighting
Pedestrian-scale lighting improves visibility
for people walking and driving, particularly
at intersections. These lights focus on
illuminating the sidewalk, not the roadway.
Lighting can be achieved on one light pole
(with one light for the road and one for the
sidewalk) or on separate poles. Lighting is
also an essential consideration along trails.
Street furniture on Nevin Avenue, including benches, tables, trash and recycling cans, and pedestrian lighting. 49 Pedestrian Recommendations
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
Sidewalks, Trails and Medians
Sidewalks
Sidewalks provide dedicated space for
pedestrians to walk. Sidewalks are raised
from the roadway, and some have a planting
strip for increased separation from the street.
Obstructions like utility boxes, signs, and
poles can sometimes limit available sidewalk
width.
Shared-Use Paths
Dedicated paths for walking and bicycling
completely separated from the roadway.
When paved with asphalt or concrete, trails
can include markings to encourage the
separation of modes.
Curb Extensions
Curb extensions extend the curb into the
street. Curb extensions can provide several
valuable traffic calming and safety benefits.
They shorten the crossing distance for
people walking, provide improved visibility
at intersections, make pedestrians more
visible to motorists, and provide additional
pedestrian queueing space. They can be
installed at intersections or mid-block.
Curb extensions can be constructed with
permanent materials like cement, pavement
markings, and bollards.
Curb Ramps
Curb ramps allow for smooth transitions
between the sidewalk and street level.
Curb ramps are essential for those with
special mobility needs, strollers, and many
other users. Ramps must be built to current
accessibility standards.

Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
Intersection and Street Design
Intersection Redesign
Intersections are not always symmetrical
and can take on confusing designs when
multiple streets come together or when
two streets come together at acute angles.
Design components like curb extensions,
painted buffer areas, and medians make
intersections more inviting and less stressful
for people biking or walking.
Free-Right Turn Lane/Slip Lane Removal
Free-right turn lanes facilitate increased
vehicle throughput and faster turns at
intersections at the expense of pedestrian
and bicyclist safety and movement.
Traffic Calming
Traffic calming is the implementation of
roadway changes to slow down vehicle
traffic. Engineers can consider many tools to
slow vehicle traffic, including speed bumps,
chicanes, speed feedback signs, and other
items. Traffic calming is also an essential
component of bicycle boulevards.
Stop Signs
A stop sign is a traffic control device used
to regulate traffic through an intersection,
and one or multiple intersection approaches
can be stop-controlled. In general, the
implementation of stop control is regulated
by the CA MUTCD and requires that a
technical analysis be conducted.
Projects That Require Additional Studies

Complex Intersections/Situations
While most of the locations examined for
the BPAP have recommendations, some will
require additional study and traffic analysis
to develop recommendations for those
locations.
51 Pedestrian Recommendations
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
Pedestrian Spot Improvements
The BPAP recommends 111 spot improvements to improve intersection crossing, trail, and sidewalk safety, access, and comfort for people walking, biking, and rolling. Table 07 (page 56) lists the location, type, and brief description of each recommended improvement project.
Project recommendations include recommended improvements from prior community and corridor plans in addition to new recommendations. The location of each spot improvement can be seen in Figures 10 through 12 on the following pages. Projects are shown with an ID number that corresponds to the ID column in Table 07 .

Table 07 Spot Improvement Recommendations (Continued) 62 Pedestrian Recommendations
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
Implementation
05 Chapter
This chapter outlines the potential next
steps to move the recommended bicycle
and pedestrian improvement projects in
the BPAP toward implementation. The
recommended projects were prioritized
to help the City determine which project
(or groups of projects) to implement first.
This chapter also provides information on
funding sources (i.e., competitive grants
and formulaic funding opportunities) that
the City and partner agencies can use to
design and build projects. The chapter
also provides a summary of bicycle and
pedestrian facility maintenance policies that
Richmond will strive to follow to maintain
a state of good repair and improve safety.
The “Quick-Build” section describes how
some projects may be implemented using
a more streamlined and cost-effective
implementation strategy. Lastly, the chapter
describes some of the potential next steps
that should be considered after adoption
of the BPAP. It also discusses aspects of
the implementation process that influence
project development like funding, staff time,
and multijurisdictional coordination.
Project Prioritization
The approach to enhancing and expanding
Richmond’s active transportation network
must consider what is realistic given
historical and anticipated funding. It should
Implementation
also provide the City with the flexibility
to respond to changing conditions and
project opportunities that may arise. The
prioritization of proposed bicycle and
pedestrian improvement helps formulate
a strategic list to guide the BPAP’s
implementation. Over time as development
occurs or other changes to land uses and
the City’s transportation network take
place, the prioritization methodology in
this chapter can be used to reevaluate
remaining projects and continue pursuing
the BPAP’s implementation. For example,
an opportunity-priority spot improvement
may be completed ahead of a high-priority
corridor project due to immediate funding
opportunities as part of a redevelopment
or larger project. Similarly, a high-priority
project may require additional study and
funding, extending the time it takes to
implement. Prioritization results should be
considered flexible concepts that serve as
project selection guidelines.
Prioritization Methodology
The recommended bicycle and pedestrian
improvement projects were evaluated using
four overarching criteria. Each evaluation
criterion was given a normalized score as
listed in Table 08 : the higher the number,
the higher ranking an individual project
received based on the criteria. The scores
were combined for each corridor and
spot improvement; each project has a
Quantitative Corridor Score ranging from
0–100, with 100 being the highest ranked.
Table 08 outlines the criteria and provides
details about each input of the prioritization
score. Projects were scored based on four
criteria:
• Safety
• Health and Equity
• Connectivity
• Community Support
The Safety and Health and Equity criteria
were awarded up to 25 points each.
Conversely, Connectivity was awarded up
to 35 points, and Community Support was
worth up to 15 points. Connectivity was
weighted slightly higher than Safety and
Health and Equity, to emphasize a focus on
providing safe connections to community
destinations including schools, parks, trails,
and transit hubs.
Following score calculations, the projects
were sorted into high, medium, and
opportunity-priority categories based on the
distribution of scores. Ideally, the City would
like to implement high-priority projects by
2025, medium-priority projects by 2027,
and opportunity projects by 2028 or when
funding and other opportunities like repaving
or development projects occur.

Active Projects
Table 13 lists the active transportation
projects Richmond is working on. The
projects are listed with their current status.
The City of Richmond have applied and are
considering applying for funding through a
number of different grants, including:
• One Bay Area Grant
• Highway Safety Improvement Program
Grant
• Transformative Climate Communities
Grant
• Clean California Grant
• California Active Transportation Program
• Safe Streets for All Grant
• Urban Greening Grant
• Sustainable Transportation Planning
Grant
• Transportation Development Act Grants
• Transportation for Livable Communities
Grants
In addition to these competitive grant
programs, the City has also had success
implementing projects using paving funds
from SB1 and using developer fees. The
number of projects the City can concurrently
develop varies based on a number of factors,
including staff capacity, project complexity,
and project funding.
The project prioritization process and results
discussed in the prior section is intended to
guide the City’s limited resources to which
project should be implemented first. The
following Project Funding section will help
the City understand planning-level project
costs and provides a detailed list of funding
opportunities.

Project Funding
The bicycle and pedestrian improvement
projects in the BPAP will require funding
for design (i.e., detailed engineering work)
and construction. bicycle and pedestrian
improvement projects is available at all levels
of government (local, regional, state, and
federal) and from private sources. Project
funding can take the form of competitive
grants, formula-based allocations, tax
measure-based funding, funds from private
development, and others. Appendix C
provides a detailed list of potential funding
sources with a brief description.
Table 14 summarizes the type of projects
and project phases (planning, design,
construction) that each funding opportunity
listed in Appendix C will fund.
Planning Level Cost Estimates
Table 15 provides high and low planning
level cost estimates for each class of
bicycle facility. Table 16 provides the same
information for different types of spot
improvements. Cost estimates include
30% extra for “soft costs” (items like City
staff time and other administrative-related
work). These are order of magnitude
planning budgetary figures; a complete
detailed engineering design will be needed
to determine the most probable cost of
individual projects.

Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
Active Transportation Supportive
Programs and Policies
The following set of policies and programs
should be considered to support
the implementation of the proposed
improvements in this plan. These policies
and programs will be subject to additional
community engagement to understand
community support, funding availability,
and allocation to determine how they
can be implemented. Further discussion
and refinement will also to be needed to
determine any required changes to the
municipal code and who the implementing/
enforcement department should be.
Internal departmental coordination over
the next two years is also recommended
to further develop and evaluate the rollout
and implementation of said policies and
programs.
Maintenance
Timely and regular maintenance of bicycle
facilities, shared-use paths, trails, and
sidewalks are critical for their continued
safe and comfortable use. Inadequately
maintained facilities can create potentially
hazardous conditions and reduce the
accessibility and connectivity of the bicycle
and pedestrian networks. Providing safe,
accessible, comfortable, and well-maintained
walking, bicycling, and rolling facilities allows
such active transportation to be a viable
travel option. Prioritizing the procurement
of new equipment for conducting regular
maintenance and sweeping on new
facilities such as separated bikeway lanes
will benefit the City’s active transportation
long-term goals by encouraging people
bicycling and walking to use these well-
maintained facilities. The following section
includes maintenance policies that the City
will endeavor to meet based on ongoing
constraints such as staffing and funding:
Sidewalk Repair and Maintenance
The City has an established and codified
sidewalk repair and maintenance program.
Richmond’s Municipal Code (12.36.025)
states that property owners are responsible
for the repair and maintenance of sidewalks
(and all associated costs) for sidewalks
adjacent to their property. To help reduce
the burden on low-income homeowners
and encourage more rapid repairs, the City
should consider the following actions:
• Conduct a citywide sidewalk inventory
to understand where missing and
broken sidewalks exist. This study
could also include an inventory of

• Develop requirements that sidewalks
be repaired when properties are sold,
homeowners file for specific permits, or
other conditions.
• Educate residents, homeowners, and
businesses about their sidewalk repair
and maintenance responsibilities.
• Develop a program to coordinate with
property owners to trim and maintain
overgrown vegetation.
• Provide subsidies or other financial
assistance for sidewalk repairs to
reduce the financial burden for lower-
income homeowners.
• Adjust City standards and design
guidelines to use sidewalk-friendly tree
species (trees with roots that won’t
affect the sidewalk) where appropriate.
Closing Sidewalk Gaps
After completing the citywide sidewalk
inventory mentioned previously, the City
should develop a prioritization process to
rank the sidewalk gaps by importance and
gradually work toward addressing all gaps
across the city. The currently available
sidewalk gap data (see Figure 02 , page 8)
can serve as a starting point until funds for
the full inventory have been allocated.
NOTE: the data contained in Figure 02 (see page 8 ) is not an exhaustive inventory of existing/missing sidewalks. The data has been compiled by City staff based on internal knowledge and feedback received from the community.
Sidewalk Access
Community feedback indicated that one
of the most frequent types of pedestrian
issues is the obstruction of sidewalks by
parked vehicles (see Figure 02 , page 8).
This includes vehicles that have been
driven onto the sidewalk, vehicles that have
been partially parked off street on private
property, and vehicles overhanging into the
sidewalk from a driveway. The City should
Tree roots have uplifted this segment of sidewalk, creating an uneven walking and rolling path. consider the development of policies to
educate the public on the importance of
keeping sidewalks clear of obstructions and
not blocking the sidewalk, including legality,
access, and safety.

Maintenance Policies
The City should consider the implementation
of the following policies to maintain the
bicycle and pedestrian network in a state of
good repair, high usability, and accessibility.
Implementation of all maintenance policies
is subject to sufficient allocation of staff,
capital, and funding resources.
Policy 1: Identify all maintenance
stakeholders across City of Richmond
Departments and partner agencies/
jurisdictions.
A. Regularly coordinate to establish and
update maintenance needs across
the City and share resources when
possible and practical.
B. Create a facility inspection schedule
to inspect facilities and update
maintenance priorities regularly.
Policy 2: Maintain designated walking and
bicycling facilities to be safe, comfortable,
accessible, and usable for walking, bicycling,
and rolling.
A. Sweep streets regularly with priority
given to roads with higher pedestrian
and bicycle traffic volumes.
B. Ensure Richmond Public Works has
all necessary equipment to maintain
all facility types, including trails and
separated bikeways.
C. Develop a schedule to sweep
separated bikeways regularly.
D. Trim overhanging vegetation and
work with appropriate property
owners to maintain a clear path
of travel along pedestrian and
bicycle facilities. Consider working
with neighborhood councils and
community groups to help maintain
vegetated pieces of infrastructure.
E. Develop and implement an
appropriate minimum paving surface
standard for bicycle boulevards
and other low-stress bikeways that
maintain a higher safety and comfort
level for active transportation users.
F. Update the City’s repaving project
methodology to prioritize bicycle
boulevards and other low-stress
bikeways to maintain the minimum
paving surface standard.
G. Incorporate maintenance needs into
the design of separated bikeways
and other facilities to ensure proper
maintenance after construction.
H. Develop a construction mitigation
policy for impacted pedestrian
and bicycle facilities requiring City
staff and contractors to create fully
accessible detours of equivalent
standards, where possible, when
construction, maintenance, or other
activities restrict the use of bikeways
and walkways.
Policy 3: Maintain bicycle parking and other
support facilities
for a more comprehensive bicycle network.
C. Develop a procedure for inspection
and prompt repair/replacement of
damaged bicycle racks or other

A Quick-build curb extensions in Oakland near the Lake Merritt BART Station.
Many infrastructure improvements
(especially pedestrian projects and
intersection geometry changes) can be
completed using signage, striping, and
other quick-build strategies. Facilities like
curb extensions, medians, and separated
bikeways are examples of treatments that
can be built with quick-build materials. These
improvements can be left permanently with
the quick-build materials or used as a short-
term improvement until additional funding
for design and construction can be secured
for permanent, more expensive design
installations. Constructing improvements
with quick-build materials can result in more
immediate safety and comfort enhancements
at lower costs. Using quick-build materials
also allows the City to trial design changes
before committing to long-term investments.
There are many resources available online
that describe quick-build projects in more
detail. The California Bicycle Coalition has an
80-page guide with details on how to move
forward with these low-cost, high-impact
project types.

Public Art
Public art is a crucial component of
placemaking and allows community
members to help establish and reinforce
a public identity. Public art can take
many forms, including sculptures, murals,
decorative crosswalks, painted curb
extensions, and themed street furniture.
Public art can also help create a more
welcoming and engaging environment
to walk, roll, and bike through; helping
to encourage more people to use active
transportation. Public art can be coordinated
through the City’s Public Art Advisory
Commission and the Richmond Arts and
Culture Commission.
The City should work to include public
art and placemaking elements wherever
possible with active transportation projects.
Next Steps
Project Timing and Funding
Projects can take a long time to get from “a
line on a map” to being fully constructed.
Limited staff time and limited City resources
may constrict how many projects can move
forward at a given time and how fast those
projects move. In some cases, funding
for project phases (planning, engineering
design, and construction) is found separately,
sometimes with years between phases. As
the City wins competitive grants, it may take
one to two years for the City to get access to
those funds to continue moving the project
forward. The realities of active transportation
funding strengthen the importance of project
prioritization to guide City staff in selecting
projects that will provide the most significant
safety and overall community benefits.

Active Transportation Progress Reports
This plan recommends City staff present
updates on current active transportation
projects, grant opportunities, recent
community feedback, and other relevant
updates to the City Council, Bicycle and
Pedestrian Advisory Committee, and the
Richmond Neighborhood Coordinating
Council biannually.
Partner Entities
The City of Richmond is not the only
jurisdiction or entity responsible for
planning, designing, and constructing
walking, bicycling, and rolling facilities
across the City. Some of the bicycle
and pedestrian improvement project
recommendations in the BPAP are in the
rights-of-way of other agencies, jurisdictions,
or private owners, such as Caltrans, Contra
Costa County, or Union Pacific Railroad. The
City will coordinate with the appropriate
stakeholders for planning, design, funding,
and implementation. These partner agencies
may have final approval on these projects,
even if they are located within the City of
Richmond. Examples of projects out of the
City’s right-of-way include trails on railroad
company property, bicycle facilities on
Caltrans-operated roads, or pedestrian
crossing improvements at interchanges.

Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
What Projects Move Forward Next?
Given the limited amount of staff time and budget for new projects, several factors will impact which projects move forward and when.
Figure 25 shows the development and implementation process for projects in the BPAP.
Focusing on Safety
Throughout the community engagement process, community
members consistently stated that improving safety was their top priority. Travel Safe Richmond analyzed collision histories across the City and developed recommendations that responded to those locations. Additionally, safety was one of the major components of the project prioritization process (one-quarter of possible priority points).
When seeking funding sources, many competitive grants have collision history as a score factor. Some grants, including the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and those from the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), focus on responding to collision locations and other safety concerns.
Interpreting Prioritization Results
The overall prioritization rankings provide an order of projects that can improve safety and benefit the community. Overall project rankings can help select projects for Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant applications or for projects to add to the City’s next Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Breaking down the scores of the different inputs can provide guidance for more specific needs. For example, City staff could sort projects by order of the “safety” score to find the best projects for HSIP or OTS grants. The rankings are not intended to be a hardened list but rather a guide for staff to select projects based on a variety of factors that present opportunities to move projects forward.

Key Takeaways
Over the past several years, the City has developed numerous citywide plans that set safety-focused policies and goals.
Richmond has also developed corridor plans that include multimodal access and safety recommendations for specific corridors and area plans that prioritize improvements across broader regions. Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) develops countywide plans that support the City of Richmond’s efforts and work towards unified regional connectivity at the county level. In general, many of the documents reviewed emphasize the need for a transportation system that supports safe, comfortable, and equitable transportation networks for vulnerable users (e.g., people walking, biking, and rolling – especially youth, seniors, and those with limited physical mobility or limited mobility options). Major themes throughout the documents reviewed included:
• Need for improving safety and comfort of all
users
• Need for improving connectivity and access to
multimodal transportation networks under a
more equitable approach
• Need to enhance connectivity to neighboring
jurisdictions
• Need to standardize implementation of Active
Transportation facilities and networks
• Need to improve quality of life by focusing on
improving health (personal, environmental, and
economic)
• Commitment to encourage and promote
walking and bicycling as viable modes of
transportation
Future recommendations included in the Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Infrastructure Action Plan will consider these key themes and the infrastructure recommendations made in the plans reviewed for this memorandum.
Document Review
The following sections summarize previous citywide plans, corridor and area plans that recommend and guide transportation safety improvements in Richmond.
Richmond General Plan (2012)
The Circulation Element of the Richmond General Plan (2012) provides a vision and policy framework for transportation planning in Richmond. Richmond has a robust multimodal transportation environment that can foster trips across various travel modes: walking, bicycling, rolling (skating, scooting, or using mobility devices), public transportation (bus, commuter rail, heavy rail, and ferry), and driving. In this vision, the City’s transportation network strives to balance the efficiency and needs of all modes of travel, with traffic calming, dedicated bicycle facilities, trails, and sidewalks supporting safe and comfortable conditions for all modes, especially people walking, bicycling, and rolling.
The Circulation Element outlines a place-based circulation classification system tailored to surrounding land use, street function, and desired character. This classification system assigns modal priorities to each accessway type and provides design recommendations for each one. While the General Plan does not include a transportation safety analysis, policies and actions in the Circulation Element set safety as a high priority:
FINAL 09-29-22
Alta Planning + Design, Inc. City of Richmond 3
• Policy CR1.5 calls for safe and convenient walking and bicycling. • Action CR1.C calls for the development and implementation of Bicycle and Pedestrian Plans. • Policy CR3.1 focuses on safety and accessibility, with a focus on walking, bicycling, and transit. The policy also emphasizes at-grade railroad safety, with a dedicated action item for rail crossing improvements. • Action CR3.B calls for traffic calming on streets that experience speeding or cut-through traffic. • Action CR2.F: calls for the city to explore the potential to lower speed limits around schools, parks, and other public gathering spaces.
In addition to safety-focused policies and actions, the General Plan also included ones that focus on improving conditions for active transportation users:
• Policy CR1.1: encourages multiple circulation options and equitable transit access/service throughout the City. • Policy CR1.2: calls for interconnected streets that adequately serve the needs of all roadway users. • Policy CR1.3: calls for enhanced linkages within Richmond and beyond to neighboring cities and areas and improved connections to public transportation.
• Policy CR1.6: calls for a comprehensive network of multi-use trails throughout the City and region. • Action CR1.E: calls for expanded multi-use trails and greenways within Richmond to improve connections to existing and future trails and improve connectivity to trails from more neighborhoods across the city. • Action CR1.K: calls for the development of station area plans around major transit hubs, including improving active transportation connectivity.
• Policy CR2.1: calls for improved access and connectivity within neighborhoods and to major destinations in the City.
• Policy CR2.2: calls for mixed-use urban streets designed with complete street policies that balance the needs of all roadway users.
• Action CR2.B: calls for the city to work with school districts, transit providers, and other partners to develop a Safe Route to School Program.
Richmond Bicycle Master Plan
The City of Richmond Bicycle Master Plan (2011) set forth the blueprint for developing and implementing bikeways and support facilities within the City of Richmond. The Plan focused on improving inter-and intra-neighborhood connectivity, safe routes to schools, and access to major destinations such as employment centers, stores and shops, parks, trails, and open space areas.
FINAL 09-29-22
Alta Planning + Design, Inc. City of Richmond 4
The Bicycle Master Plan outlines four main goals, with Goal 3 focused on making Richmond’s streets safer for bicyclists, both during the day and at night. Goal 1 calls for the expansion of bicycle facilities and parking facilities. Goal 2 calls for the city to increase the number of people of all ages and backgrounds bicycling for any trip purpose. In the network development and prioritization, safety was worth three out of twenty points, scored based on the number of previous bicycle collisions per mile.
The Bicycle Plan proposed over 104 miles of bikeways (30 miles of Class I, 32 miles of Class II, and 42 miles of Class III).
Bicycle recommendations are concentrated in three focus areas: Hilltop, Central Richmond, and El Sobrante. Since 2011, 24 miles of bike facilities have been installed in Richmond. While the high priority corridors all received bikeway project recommendations in the Bicycle Master Plan, new design best practices including Class IV bikeways are not reflected in the network. Key hot spot corridors have also undergone in-depth safety and Complete Street studies, including Harbour Way, Rumrill/13th Street, and 23rd Street.
Richmond Pedestrian Plan
Completed in 2011, the Richmond Pedestrian Plan aimed to improve the safety, convenience, and appeal of walking throughout the City. Central Richmond, comprised of Downtown, Civic Center, transit center, and several historic mixed-income and low-income neighborhoods, is the Plan's focus. The Pedestrian Plan includes goals to improve safety, security, connectivity, equity, health, sustainability, and help revitalize neighborhoods and downtown Richmond.
The Plan included a safety and connectivity analysis with criteria for project prioritization focusing on proximity to Pedestrian Improvement Districts (General Plan), community connectivity, safety, and ease of implementation. Top-tier projects from the Richmond Pedestrian Plan included Marina Way, Nevin Avenue, the Richmond Greenway, South 23rd Street, Barrett Avenue, 6th Street, Ohio Avenue, and Harbour Way.
The Pedestrian Plan also included a Crosswalk Policy, treatment toolbox, action plan, and roundabout concept for Cutting Boulevard at Carlson Boulevard.
Crosswalk Policy/Treatment Toolbox
Richmond’s crosswalk policy included an escalating hierarchical scale of crossing enhancements, starting with marking crosswalks and advance stop/yield markings; next, curb extensions/curb radii changes, followed by Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs)/Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons (PHBs) and similar treatments; followed by signals and grade separation.
The pedestrian toolkit included infrastructure treatments like complete streets/road diets/right-sizing roadways, curb radii changes/curb extensions, neighborhood traffic circles/roundabouts, crossing improvements, street lighting, crossing islands, sidewalk improvements, street trees, and others.
Corridor and Area Plans
The following corridor and area plans expand on the goals from citywide plans and develop more specific improvement recommendations throughout the City.
FINAL 09-29-22
Alta Planning + Design, Inc. City of Richmond 5
23rd Street Streetscape Improvement Plan
The 23rd Street Project Report (2009) focused on a one mile stretch of 23rd Street and 22nd Street within the City of Richmond, between the Carlson Boulevard over-crossing at the south to Costa Avenue at the north and 22nd Street between the Carlson Boulevard over-crossing at the south to the Brooks Avenue crossover. The 23rd Street corridor hosts a major commercial district and provides a north-south arterial connection between Richmond and San Pablo and Interstate 580.
The recommended improvements outlined in the report aim to promote pedestrian and bicycle safety along the corridor by reducing the number of travel lanes, widening the sidewalks, shortening crossing distances for pedestrians, and improving overall pedestrian and bicycle visibility. The preferred alternative includes parallel vehicle parking and a Class III bike route along the corridor. Sidewalk improvements also include reallocation of space to include an amenity zone, through zone, and café seating zone. The 23rd Street project has not been funded for construction.
Rumrill/13th Street Complete Street Study
The Rumrill Boulevard and 13th Street Complete Streets Study (2015) was developed through an intensive community- based design process focused on transforming the street into a safe and friendly place for people and businesses by improving walking, bicycling, and transit conditions. Both the Cities of San Pablo and Richmond and community members of adjacent neighborhoods identified Rumrill Boulevard/13th Street as a corridor in need of a safety, comfort, and placemaking vision for the corridor. The Study area covered those two streets between Harbour Way/Pennsylvania Avenue in Richmond and San Pablo Avenue in San Pablo. The Study identified existing conditions, documented alternatives development for corridor-wide improvements, and provided a preferred concept alternative for the community’s complete streets vision for the corridor.
Because of safety concerns along the corridor, resulting from limited crossing opportunities and perceptions of speeding traffic, the Study included a detailed analysis of pedestrian conditions, including a collision history report. The final preferred concept for Rumrill/13th Street included a lane reduction with space reallocated to pedestrian, bus riders, and bicycle improvements. Other improvements called for shorter crosswalk distances, sidewalk repair, implementation of Class IV or cycle tracks, bus shelters, and far side bus stops. The project has been funded for construction in Richmond and San Pablo; construction is expected to be completed in the near future.
South Richmond Transportation Connectivity Plan (SRTCP) The South Richmond Transportation Connectivity Plan (2015) identified deficiencies in the existing transportation system, with a specific focus on critical transportation corridors in South Richmond. The Plan set forth recommendations to improve multimodal connectivity to and within the area, while strengthening businesses and neighborhoods, to overcome highway and railroad barriers. Key objectives of the SRTCP included connecting South Richmond Neighborhoods to opportunities for employment, education, and recreation on the South Shoreline. The plan also called for connecting key opportunity sites in South Richmond with major transit hubs at Richmond and El Cerrito BART stations and the SF Bay Ferry terminal.
The SRTCP also proposed implementing complete streets designs for major corridors in South Richmond including Harbour Way South, Marina Way South, Hoffman Boulevard, Carlson Boulevard, Central Avenue, and Bayview Avenue.
Some corridors have been identified as priority routes for transit and freight. Other corridors were selected to include recommendations to improve the safety, comfort, convenience, and connectivity for walking, biking, or rolling.
FINAL 09-29-22
Alta Planning + Design, Inc. City of Richmond 6
Multimodal safety was one of six criteria to determine project and corridor prioritization. The SRTCP also informed the development of the more recent Ferry to Bridge to Greenway Complete Streets Plan (see below), with multimodal investments on Harbour Way designed and funded.
Yellow Brick Road Iron Triangle Walkable Neighborhood Plan The Yellow Brick Road Walkable Neighborhoods Project (2015) identified barriers, issues, and opportunities in the community to design and implement complete streets improvements along a number roadways in the Yellow Brick Road (YBR) network. The YBR concept was conceived by local youth living in the Iron Triangle neighborhood to safely link key areas in the neighborhood through bright yellow brick patterns on the sidewalks and roadways. The routes would connect the important assets in the community, including local elementary schools, parks, and transit.
The YBR project included a collision analysis and proposed design solutions to improve safety and walkability in the Iron Triangle. Root Routes (Phase 1) forming the backbone of the network included Pennsylvania Avenue, 7th Street, and Elm Avenue. Construction of the Root Routes is expected to be completed in 2022. Trunk Routes (Phase 2) including the Richmond Greenway, 16th Street, and 8th Street, would create cross-neighborhood north-south and east-west connectors, greatly expanding the spine of the neighborhood network. Branch Routes (Phase 3) call for the creation of additional connectivity and routing options for residents, giving them more practical transportation options to BART, schools, community centers, and parks. Funding for Phases 2 and 3 implementation has not been identified.
Richmond Wellness Trail Study
The 2016 Richmond Wellness Trail Vision Plan provided a comprehensive plan for a north-south corridor connecting existing transit facilities and key destinations. Using the Pedestrian Plan and Bicycle Master Plan as a foundation, the plan proposed a series of bicycle enhancements and pedestrian amenities connecting the city’s existing infrastructure to a number of destinations. Important destinations along the corridor include the Bay Trail, Ferry Terminal, Greenway, Marina Bay, Richmond BART Station, and Richmond Kaiser Permanente Medical Center. The project recommended a main spine along Marina Way from the shoreline to Central Richmond.
By proposing design elements along the corridor such as public art, fitness stations, and graphic wayfinding coupled with infrastructure improvements, the plan aimed to develop a tailored “wellness theme.” With a focus on health, wellness, and safety, the Plan included separated bike facilities, pedestrian accessibility improvements, and traffic calming. The Wellness Trail proposed improvements on Marina Way, 16th Street, and 9th Street. Phase 1 of the Wellness Trail, between BART and MLK Park, completed construction in 2022.
First Mile/Last Mile Transportation Strategic Plan
The 2017 Richmond First Mile/Last Mile Transportation Strategic Plan focused on providing first mile/last mile connections to the city’s varied transit services and enhance its transportation network. The plan identified bicycle, pedestrian, and transit barriers leading up to the Richmond Ferry Terminal and the Richmond BART Station. The study recommended ten priority projects that to facilitate easy, safe, and efficient access to Richmond’s transit hubs. Priority projects with a safety focus include Macdonald Avenue and Nevin Avenue Yellow Brick Road Improvements, Ferry to Bridge Complete Streets, Barrett Avenue and Marina Way Intersection Improvements, and Marina Way Pedestrian FINAL 09-29-22

Improvements. In addition to corridor improvements, programmatic recommendations put forth by the plan included bike share and e-scooter permit programs and support programs for commuters, seniors, and paratransit users. The first phase of the City’s bike share started implementation in 2021.
Ferry to Bridge to Greenway Complete Streets Plan
The Richmond Ferry to Bridge to Greenway Complete Streets Plan (F2B2G Plan, 2020) envisioned valuable connections for walking and bicycling to and between the Richmond Ferry, the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge Trail, and the Richmond Greenway. The F2B2G Plan, when implemented, will provide a balance of permanent regional connections and local safety improvements for people of all ages and abilities, including those in disadvantaged and traditionally underserved areas of the City. It will directly serve four City neighborhoods: Marina Bay, Santa Fe, Iron Triangle, and Point Richmond, as well as visitors from surrounding places.
The plan builds on previous Complete Streets concepts, including the Complete Streets concept for Harbour Way and the Richmond Wellness Trail and existing trails and greenways in Richmond. The F2B2G Plan included a review of the existing infrastructure in the plan area, a development of a planning framework, and presented a summary of issues and opportunities for the area. The proposed network concept features two-way separated cycle tracks on Harbour Way, Hoffman Boulevard, Cutting Boulevard, and Tewksbury Avenue, along with bike boulevards and bike lanes to safely connect neighborhoods with the Richmond Greenway and the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. A quick build project in 2019 completed a portion of the bicycle facilities along Ohio Avenue, Garrard Boulevard, and Tewksbury Avenue. Construction on the Harbour Way South, Hoffman, and Cutting cycle tracks estimates completion in 2022.
Harbour Way Complete Streets
The City developed a concept for a two-way separated cycle track and pedestrian improvements in 2018 as part of a California Active Transportation Program grant application. The concept has been expanded and updated as part of the Ferry to Bridge to Greenway Complete Streets Plan. A quick-build design for the Complete Streets improvements on Harbour Way from the ferry terminal to Hoffman Boulevard is funded. The City was expected to begin construction on the project in 2021 and coordinate with the complete streets project on Hoffman and Cutting Boulevards.
BART Walk and Bicycle Network Gap Study
The BART Walk and Bicycle Network Gap Study (2020) evaluated potential improvements to the pedestrian network within a ½ mile of 17 focus BART stations. The study summarized outcomes and near- to mid-term recommendations from a series of stakeholder walk audits that took place over three years.
For the Richmond BART station, recommendations included improvements on Nevin Avenue to the west of the station, safety upgrades at Barrett Avenue and Marina Way, safer crossings and bike lane gap closures on Barrett Avenue, and pedestrian improvements along 19th Street between Macdonald and Barrett Avenues. The Study also recommended considering a road diet on Macdonald Avenue and a scramble phase at Macdonald and 16th Streets.

Countywide Plans
The following plans from the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) integrate or expand on City of Richmond planning efforts.
Contra Costa Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan
CCTA adopted its first Contra Costa Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan (CBPP) in 2003 and updated it again in 2009. The CBPP builds on and expands the goals, policies, and strategies of the Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP).
Both plans set goals for increasing and encouraging more walking and bicycling from people of all ages and abilities – equitably across the County - and identify actions CCTA and its partners should take to achieve them.
The CBPP included a collision density analysis for both bicycles and pedestrians and a level of traffic stress analysis, resulting in a proposed low-stress countywide bikeway network. For the City of Richmond, bikeways for inclusion in the countywide network included San Pablo Avenue, Rumrill Boulevard, Barrett Avenue, and Cutting Boulevard.
The CBPP also designated Priority Pedestrian Areas (PPAs) for focused investment, including all of Central and South Richmond and Richmond Annex. The PPAs identify locations with higher residential and employment densities, high growth forecasts, proximity to major transit stops, proximity to schools, and collision history.
The Plan also included educational and encouragement program recommendations. These include Safe Routes to Schools, adult education programs, transportation demand management (TDM) programs, bicycle parking, end-of-trip facilities (water, showers, lockers, etc.), bike share, wayfinding, and evaluation.
Richmond Area Community-Based Transportation Plan
Led by CCTA and completed in 2020, the Community-Based Transportation Plan (CBTP) for the Richmond Area recommended a series of projects and programs to improve parts of Richmond and several neighboring areas. These recommendations were prioritized using evaluation criteria developed with plan advisors. The CBTP focused on addressing the needs of economically disadvantaged communities in Contra Costa County (based on MTC’s Communities of Concern metric) through robust community engagement and demographic analysis to identify issues, priorities, and potential solutions for mobility.
Based on feedback from a Project Working Group, the Richmond Area CBTP selected four criteria for project prioritization: community priorities, increased access, financial feasibility, and ease of implementation. The CBTP outlines a set of high need and high potential projects and programs based on these criteria. These included: closing gaps in the bicycle network, improving active access to schools, pedestrian crossing improvements, closing sidewalk gaps, and others. The Plan also prioritized transit-specific and safe routes to schools projects and programs. While a collision analysis was not central to the CBTP, results of the robust community outreach process mainly centered on improving the safety and accessibility of the transportation network. Priorities in Richmond included a focus on ADA accessibility in North Richmond, sidewalk gaps and arterial safety along San Pablo Avenue, and arterial corridor safety on MacDonald Avenue.

Measure J provides funding for countywide and local transportation projects and programs through the year 2034. Eligible improvements include pedestrian, bicycle, and trail facilities, local streets and road maintenance, and transportation for livable communities.
Funds are programmed by the Contra Costa Transportation Authority.
Transportation Fund for Clean Air, County Program Manager Fund The Transportation Fund for Clean Air funds bicycle facilities including paths, lanes, routes, lockers, and racks.
Funds are programmed by the Contra Costa Transportation Authority.
511 Contra Costa Bike Rack and Locker Program
511 Contra Costa is a countywide program that strives to reduce traffic congestions and improve air quality by providing the public with resources and tools that promote mobility options beyond driving alone. Eligible projects include bicycle parking racks and lockers.
Funds are programmed by Contra Costa County.
Funding Opportunities and Matrix
Alta Planning + Design, Inc Metropolitan Transportation Commission | 2 One Bay Area Grant
The One Bay Area grant program (OBAG) emphasizes funding for projects within Priority Development Areas (PDAs) in the region that are in-line with housing and land use goals. Projects that are within or provide access to these PDAs could qualify for OBAG grants.
Funds are programmed by the Contra Costa Transportation Authority.
Transportation Development Act Article 3
Transportation Development Act Article 3 (TDA 3) provides funding annually for bicycle and pedestrian projects. Two percent of TDA 3 funds collected within the county are used for TDA 3 projects. MTC policies require that all projects be reviewed by a BPAC or similar body before approval.
Funds are programmed by the Contra Costa Transportation Authority.
Bicycle Facilities Grant Program
Throughout the nine-county Bay Area, the Bicycle Facilities Grant program strives to reduce emissions from on- road vehicles and improve air quality by helping residents and commuters shift to bicycling and walking as alternatives to driving for short distances and first- and-last mile trips. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) has grant programs that fund both on-street facilities and bicycle parking facilities. Funding comes from the BAAQMD’s Transportation Fund for Clean Air.
Funds are programmed by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.
Climate Initiatives Innovative Grants Fund
MTC’s Climate Initiatives Program promotes innovative ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the Bay Area; and taps federal funding for a pair of competitive grant programs. Innovative grants of $1 million and up are used to support high-impact projects that can be replicated around the region.
Funds are programmed by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.
New Development or Redevelopment/Rehabilitation
Future new development and redevelopment projects including new road construction, resurfacing, and construction projects are one method of providing pedestrian improvements and bike facilities. To ensure that pedestrian and bicycle improvements are included in these projects, it is important that the review process includes an individual (designated active transportation coordinator) or group (BPAC) to monitor the review process.
Funds are programmed by the City of Richmond.
Funding Opportunities and Matrix
Alta Planning + Design, Inc Metropolitan Transportation Commission | 3 Assessment Districts
Different types of assessment districts can be used to fund the construction and maintenance of bikeway facilities. Examples include Mello-Roos Community Facility Districts, Infrastructure Financing Districts (SB 308), Open Space Districts, Special Assessment Districts, Tax Increment Financing, or Lighting and Landscape Districts. These types of districts have specific requirements relating to the establishment and use of funds.
Funds are programmed by the City of Richmond.
Impact Fees
Another potential local source of funding are developer impact fees, typically tied to trip generation and traffic impacts as a result of proposed projects. A developer may be required to help mitigate the overall impact of vehicular trips by paying an impact fee; the City should ensure that planning policies consider bicycle and pedestrian planning, design, and construction costs to be an eligible use of these fees.
Funds are programmed by the City of Richmond.
Funding Opportunities and Matrix
Alta Planning + Design, Inc Metropolitan Transportation Commission | 4 State and Federal Grant Programs
California Active Transportation Program
California’s Active Transportation Program (ATP) funds infrastructure and programmatic projects that support the program goals of shifting trips to walking and bicycling, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and improving public health. Competitive application cycles occur every one to two years, typically in the spring or early summer. Eligible projects include construction of bicycling and walking facilities, new or expanded programmatic activities, or projects that include a combination of infrastructure and non-infrastructure components. Typically, no local match is required, though extra points are awarded to applicants who do identify matching funds.
Funds are programmed by the California Transportation Commission (CTC).
Sustainable Transportation Planning Grants
Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grants are available to communities for planning, study, and design work to identify and evaluate projects, including conducting outreach or implementing pilot projects.
Communities are typically required to provide an 11.47 percent local match, but staff time or in-kind donations are eligible to be used for the match provided the required documentation is submitted.
Funds are programmed by Caltrans.
Highway Safety Improvement Program
Caltrans offers Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grants every one to two years. Projects on any publicly owned road or active transportation facility are eligible, including bicycle and pedestrian improvements. HSIP focuses on projects that explicitly address documented safety challenges through proven countermeasures, are implementation-ready, and demonstrate cost-effectiveness.
Funds are programmed by Caltrans.
Solutions for Congested Corridors Program
Funded by SB1, the Congested Corridors Program strives to reduce congestion in highly traveled and congested roads through performance improvements that balance transportation improvements, community impacts, and environmental benefits. This program can fund a wide array of improvements including bicycle facilities and pedestrian facilities. Eligible projects must be detailed in an approved corridor-focused planning document. These projects must include aspects that benefit all modes of transportation using an array of strategies that can change travel behavior, dedicate right of way for bikes and transit, and reduce vehicle miles traveled.
Funds are programmed by the California Transportation Commission.
Funding Opportunities and Matrix
Alta Planning + Design, Inc Metropolitan Transportation Commission | 5 Office of Traffic Safety
