Annex I
Project Description and Scope of Work
This funding agreement and scope of work supports the implementation of the Metropolitan Transportation Commissions’ Active Transportation Plan and the Regional Active Transportation (AT) Network. The Regional AT Network focuses the Bay Area’s efforts in providing safe and all ages and abilities active transportation connections in areas with the highest potential for shifting auto trips to biking and walking trips, where there is the greatest need for affordable transportation options, and where active trips can connect people with transit for longer distance travel.
This scope of work also supports the advancement of MTC’s Transit-Oriented Communities (TOC) Policy, which supports the region's transit investments by creating communities around transit stations and along transit corridors.
Project:
The Richmond Wellness Trail (RWT) is a community-driven initiative designed to enhance bicycle and pedestrian connectivity while incorporating significant green infrastructure in the City of Richmond (COR or City), California, as identified in the City’s Resilience Roadmap (2019) and Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan (2023). The project links the City’s downtown with natural and historic waterfront features, provides safe multimodal access from the Richmond BART/Amtrak station to the ferry terminal to downtown San Francisco, and ensures critical access to community urban green space amenities as well as the Bay Trail. The trail promotes health and resilience and primarily benefits residents of three low-income neighborhoods: Santa Fe, Coronado, and Iron Triangle.
The trail includes Class IV separated cycle tracks, protected from traffic by striping or stormwater planters, as well as a Class III section. Pedestrian improvements include urban greening, wayfinding signage, and community-based interpretive features. The current Phase 2 is funded by a California Strategic Growth Council (SGC) Transformative Climate Communities (TCC) grant with $4.8M. This project provide additional capacity to ensure quality design and documentation for connections with intersecting trails, railroads, and development.
This project will include “Designing for All Ages and Abilities Contextual Guidance for High-Comfort Bicycle Facilities” by the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) and adhere to the U.S Access Board’s “Public Rights of Way Accessibility Guidelines” (PROWAG).
