Overall
The PMP documents the federal, state, regional, and local context for pedestrian planning. The PMP notes that “Pedestrian Districts” have been designated in the West Roseville, Riverside Gateway, and Downtown Specific Plans. This designation means that pedestrian travel takes a higher priority than automobile travel in these districts.
The 2011 PMP was adopted prior to adoption of the Sierra Vista, Creekview, Amoruso Ranch, and Commercial Corridor (Atlantic Street, Douglas-Harding, and Douglas-Sunrise) Specific Plans. The base maps and proposed and other mapping do not include those Specific Plans. https://www.roseville.ca.us/SpecificPlans
The PMP included an inventory of 755 sidewalk segments along arterial and collector streets. Of these, 75% of segments included full sidewalk on both sides of the street. The remaining segments had some or all the sidewalk missing on one or both sides of the street. The inventory did not include residential streets, but Figure 6 identifies mature residential areas that have no sidewalks or are missing sidewalks.
Standards
The PMP includes Appendix B, Best Practices Manual for Pedestrian Design. The manual includes guidelines for pedestrian design that are intended to enhance accessibility for all pedestrians including individuals with disabilities, and improve safety, connectivity, and ease of use. The guidelines contain many but not all modern pedestrian design treatments.
Policies
Overall, the goals, policies & implementation measures are thorough and understandable but are length and consideration should be given to updating them to focus on the most salient policies and measures.
Policies and Implementation Measures of note are described below:
Implementation Measure 5 (Pedestrian Access and Circulation) states “When traffic impact studies are prepared, consider the effect on pedestrian safety as well as increased pedestrian crossing times and distances or pedestrian wait times due to longer cycle lengths.” Implementation Measure 6 (Pedestrian Access and Circulation) states “Consider adopting a “Pedestrian Safety Action Plan” tailored to Roseville pursuant to Federal Highway Administration publication FHWA SA-05-12.”
Implementation Measure 1 (Pedestrian Education, Encouragement, and Enforcement Programs) states “Consider formation of a Pedestrian Safety Task Force comprised of City staff and community members to coordinate education, encouragement and enforcement strategies.” Infrastructure
Figure 5 identifies the areas of the city, mostly located near Downtown Roseville, that participate in the City’s annual sidewalk repair program.
Figure 7 shows the street segments with missing sidewalks. The missing sidewalks are classified within three categories: Those to be installed with other CIP projects; those that are developer responsibility; and the remainder that are part of the PMP Implementation Plan.

The PMP prioritizes sidewalk improvements based upon a missing sidewalk’s proximity to transit centers and bus stops, secondary and elementary schools, critical sites (government, health care, or elderly facilities), and Pedestrian Districts. Figure 8 shows the sidewalks by scoring. Table 19 identifies the top priority missing sidewalk segments as those that received a rank of 4 or 5, or those segments where specific requests were received by the public. Appendix A-1 identifies missing sidewalk segments by rank.
Aerial mapping shows the following sidewalk segments from Table 18 and Appendix A-1 have been completed: Country Club (Danielle to Pleasant Grove); Pleasant Grove (Hemingway to Country Club); Oak Ridge (Vinmar to Rampart); Fairway (Central Park to Home Depot); Industrial (Blue Oaks to Alantown); Industrial (Alantown to Finesteria).
The PMP did not review or evaluate street crossings for safety or other upgrades.

The ADA Transition Plan has been prepared pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which requires that all public agencies develop a transition plan for the installation of curb ramps or other sloped areas at all locations where walkways cross curbs.
Corridor Level Improvements
● Appendix A of the ADA Transition Plan includes a prioritized list of potential ADA projects. The projects are focused on curb ramp construction or re-construction and prioritization is based upon land uses served and condition of the existing facility. City should review the list of projects to determine which have been completed and update the plan if determined necessary.
Key Takeaways
● The ADA Transition Plan standards were created in 2008/09. City may wish to verify that the standards are still current and that they have been incorporated into the City’s Design & Construction Standards.

Overall
/Standards
The ADA Design Standards were developed to combine and resolve any conflicts between the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG), published by the U.S. Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board in July 1991, and the California State Building Code, Title 24, Part 2, of the California Code of Regulation, 2007 edition. Draft Guidelines for Public Rights-of-Way, published by the U.S. Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board on November 5, 2005, which are expected to take effect soon, were also considered in the ADA Design Standards. In addition, all City-approved policies and standards affecting accessibility in the public right-of way were included in the standards. City should periodically review ADA standards to ensure that new curb ramps meet the latest standards. Update the ADA Transition Plan as needed.
Policies
Section 6 includes a compliance form for each new curb ramp constructed in the city, and a compliance form for each new sidewalk constructed in the city. City should verify that the forms are being used for new projects (city and development) and should also ensure that the forms are available for review if requested.
Infrastructure
Chapter 4 includes ADA standards for a variety of public right-of-way improvements. These include sidewalk access, curb ramps, detectable warnings, pedestrian crossings, accessible pedestrian signals, transportation and vehicle access, street & sidewalk furnishings, and temporary construction standards.
City should verify that the applicable standards of the ADA Transition Plan have been incorporated into the City’s Design & Construction Standards.
Table 6.1 provides a summary ADA Implementation Plan by Fiscal Year. The fiscal plan estimates the number of curb ramps to be constructed per year and identifies an anticipated annual cost for budgeting purposes. If not done already, City should document the actual work completed in any given year and the cost.
Appendix A of the ADA Transition Plan includes a prioritized list of potential ADA projects. The projects are focused on curb ramp construction or re-construction and prioritization is based upon land uses served and condition of the existing facility. City should review the list of projects to determine which have been completed and update the plan if determined necessary.

HIGH-LEVEL INTRODUCTION/ SUMMARY
Summary: The 2008 BMP has five chapters: Introduction; Existing Conditions; Goals, Policies & Implementation Measures (with measures for the topics of Bikeway Route Development, Bikeway Support Facilities, Maintenance, Enforcement, Education, Encouragement, Environmental and Funding); Recommended Bicycle Network; and Funding. The Roseville BMP includes standards and policies for development of a comprehensive bikeway system that includes Class I shared use paths (multi-use trails), Class II on-street bike lanes and Class III on-street bike routes.
Corridor Level Improvements
● Miners Ravine Trail (Downtown to Sierra College Boulevard) ● Dry Creek Greenway East Trail (Phase 1 under construction/Phased 2 funded/Phase 3 to be coordinated with adjoining agencies)
● Dry Creek Greenway West (Planning & Feasibility Study complete) ● Pleasant Grove Creek Trails
● Northwest Roseville Power Line Corridor Trails (Sierra Vista – Mahany Park – Foothills) ● Highway 65 Trail Corridor
● Washington Boulevard Trail Corridor (existing and future) Key Takeaways
● The 2008 BMP was adopted prior to adoption of the Sierra Vista, Creekview, Amoruso Ranch and Commercial Corridor (Atlantic Street, Douglas-Harding and Douglas-Sunrise) Specific Plans. The base maps and proposed bikeway maps and bikeway miles do not include the bikeways within those Specific Plans. ● The BMP does not include guidance for development of modern bike facilities such as buffered bike lanes, Class IV cycle tracks, bike boxes, bike signals/intersection treatments, or bicycle boulevards. These types of facilities are not identified in Chapter V, Recommended Bicycle Network. Also, the BMP does not include Bikeway Design Guidelines. Also, Roseville’s Design & Construction Standards do not include guidance for development of most modern bike facilities.
● Connections to transit are referenced in the BMP (including in the existing conditions, goals/policies, and route selection sections), but the plan does not reference the concept of first/last mile connections to transit. ● Since adoption of the 2008 BMP, Roseville has completed some pilot projects for modern bikeway facilities, including a buffered bike lane on Roseville Parkway within the Campus Oaks area, green bike lanes and enhanced intersections on Washington Boulevard, and bicycle signal heads on Junction Boulevard at Park Regency.

Overall
The 2008 BMP identified 119 miles of existing bikeways and 88 miles of proposed bikeways per Table 6:
Surveys at the time indicate a clear preference for separated bike facilities, with many respondents concerned about traffic speeds and volumes on roads with Class II bike lanes. Class I paths that provide regional or key access across the city include:
● Miners Ravine Trail (Downtown to Sierra College Blvd) ● Dry Creek Greenway East Trail (Phase 1 under construction/Phased 2 funded/Phase 3 to be coordinated with adjoining agencies)
● Dry Creek Greenway West (Planning & Feasibility Study complete) ● Pleasant Grove Creek Trails
● Northwest Roseville Power Line Corridor Trails (Sierra Vista – Mahany Park – Foothills) ● Highway 65 Trail Corridor
● Washington Blvd Trail Corridor (existing & future)
The 2008 BMP was adopted prior to adoption of the Sierra Vista, Creekview, Amoruso Ranch and Commercial Corridor (Atlantic Street, Douglas-Harding and Douglas-Sunrise) Specific Plans. The base maps and proposed bikeway maps and bikeway miles do not include the bikeways within those Specific Plans. https://www.roseville.ca.us/SpecificPlans Standards
The BMP does not include guidance for development of modern bike facilities such as buffered bike lanes, Class IV cycle tracks, bike boxes, bike signals/intersection treatments, or bicycle boulevards.
These types of facilities are not identified in Chapter V, Recommended Bicycle Network. Also, the BMP does not include Bikeway Design Guidelines. Also, Roseville’s Design & Construction Standards do not include guidance for development of most modern bike facilities. (Note: Since adoption of the 2008 BMP, Roseville has completed some pilot projects for modern bikeway facilities, including a buffered bike lane on Roseville Parkway within the Campus Oaks area, green bike lanes and enhanced intersections on Washington Boulevard, and bicycle signal heads on Junction Boulevard at Park Regency.)
The BMP does not reference the California Green Building Code bike parking standards.

Goals, Policies &
Implementation
Measures
The goals, policies & implementation measures are thorough and understandable but are also very lengthy. Consideration should be given to updating these to focus on the most salient policies and measures and incorporate modern standards for bikeway design and current local practices. Policies and Implementation Measures of note are described below:
BMP Policies -
Bikeway Route
Development
The BMP does not reference the California Green Building Code bike parking standards.
Policy 5 (Bikeway Route Development) states “In newly developing areas, the interval between designated bikeways should be approximately every 1/3-mile. Where feasible and where funding allows, the City should make efforts to approach a 1/3-mile bikeway interval in infill areas.” Policy 7 & 8 (Bikeway Route Development) identify Class II bike lanes as standard facilities on arterial and collector roads, but identify instances where they may not be installed based upon engineering judgement.
The City of Roseville allows bicycle riding on all sidewalks except for selected sidewalks in Downtown Roseville as identified in Section 11.14 of the Municipal Code.
Policy 10 (Bikeway Route Development) states “Major roadway improvement projects proposed on existing arterial streets without bike lanes should include an investigation of the feasibility of installing Class II bike lanes.” However, the BMP does not propose Class 2 bike lanes on all existing arterials without bike lanes. This inconsistency may confuse project managers and policy makers.
Policy 11 (Bikeway Route Development) provides procedural guidance for changes to the designation of existing bikeways (I.e. removal of bike lanes).
BMP Policies –
Bikeway Support
Facilities
Implementation Measure 1 (Bikeway Support Facilities) recommends updating the Zoning Ordinance and TSM Ordinance to enhance bike parking for new development. The TSM Ordinance now references the Cal Green Building Code requirements. The Zoning Ordinance was changed to remove bike parking requirements. Prior to its change, the Zoning Ordinance bike parking requirements had been applied to high-density residential projects. Since TSM/GBC apply only to commercial development, this means that the City does not have bike parking requirements for apartments or other residential projects.
Implementation Measure 2 (Bikeway Support Facilities) recommends developing standards for bicycle parking in the public realm in pedestrian activity areas. This has not been done.
Implementation Measure 3 (Bikeway Support Facilities) recommends funding an annual bike parking project. The City has installed bike parking in some areas but has not funded an annual project.
Implementation Measure 10 (Bikeway Support Facilities) recommends destination signs, trail maps, mile markers, open space and bikeway regulation signs on bike paths where appropriate. This has
Task 2 - Existing Conditions FINAL 03-22-24
Roseville Active Transportation Plan | 93
been partially accomplished on a case-by-case basis. The City has had plans to adopt more comprehensive guidance for this, but has not done so yet.
BMP Policies -
Maintenance
Many of the Maintenance Policies and Implementation Measures are built into the regular practices of the City. City should consider:
● Formalizing the bikeway/trail inspections (Implementation Measure 1). ● Adopting an adopt-a-path program or integrating into the adopt-a-creek program (Implementation Measure 5).
BMP Policies -
Enforcement
The enforcement section cites a goal of reducing violations and bicycle injuries and fatalities by 10% over 10 years. The policies and implementation measures identify specific enforcement effort areas that should be addressed. Consider coordination with Police Department to update this guidance.
Policies -
Education
Implementation Measure 1 (Education) states “Create a coordinated and comprehensive bicycle safety education program that provides bicycle education annually to all school-age children...” Implementation Measure 2 (Education) states “Create a coordinated and comprehensive bicycle education program targeted to adult bike riders with information regarding bike rider rights and responsibilities and proper bike riding techniques.” Roseville's bicycle education efforts are primarily focused on school-age children.
Policies -
Encouragement
This section has the goal of increasing transportation and recreation bicycle riding to work, school, play and other destinations by 50 percent by 2020, and gain acceptance of bicycle commuting as a mainstream activity through incentive and encouragement efforts. This section does not identify methods for measuring progress.
Policies -
Environmental
The Environmental policies discuss potential environmental benefits of cycling infrastructure and efforts to coordinate project review to minimize environmental impacts of new infrastructure.
Roseville’s project review processes and teaming implement these policies.
Policies - Funding Referenced funding programs are older and need to be updated.
Policies -
Evaluation
This section states that the City should strive to achieve a 50% increase in bicycle use over 10 years and recommends establishing a plan for measuring progress. This section recommends an annual report summarizing the bicycle program and collision data. This has been done informally at the Transportation Commission, but consideration should be given to creating a consistent approach to the annual report.

Riverside Gateway Specific Plan City of Roseville 2006 Placer
HIGH-LEVEL INTRODUCTION/ SUMMARY
Summary: The Riverside Gateway Specific Plan (RGSP) envisions Riverside Avenue as an attractive and vital pedestrianfriendly corridor, providing a recognizable and visible gateway to central Roseville. A pedestrian-oriented and easily accessible mixed-use district is planned for Riverside Avenue, with a mixture of residential and live/work uses transitioning into the adjacent neighborhoods. The plan area extends one block to each side of Riverside Avenue from Douglas Boulevard to Darling Way and includes approximately 50 acres.
TRANSIT RELATED/ ORGANIZATIONAL MANAGEMENT TOPICS
Overall
The circulation system for RGSP is intended to create a pedestrian-friendly corridor, with attractive streets and pedestrian accessible intersections and crosswalks.
Street
Improvement
Standards
The right-of-way for existing streets remains primarily as existing, which includes 7’ sidewalks on Riverside Avenue and 3.5’-4’ sidewalks on parallel residential streets, but with upgrades to curb ramps and sidewalk segments in poor condition. The Streetscape Plan (Chapter 6) includes pedestrian improvements such as bulb-outs at unsignalized intersections and mid-block locations along Riverside Avenue, enhanced paving of crosswalks, historical interpretive signs along Riverside Avenue sidewalks, gateway features at each end of the plan area, new streetscape landscaping, street furniture and pedestrian-scale decorative lighting.
Bikeway
System
The Circulation Plan (Chapter 4) identifies bicycle facilities serving the area include:
• Class I path along Dry Creek connecting Douglas Boulevard to just north of Darling Way; and • Class III bike routes on Sixth Street and Darling Way (identified through green bike route signs) Future bicycle improvements included extension of the Dry Creek Trail south of Darling Way (under construction) and installation of Class III signs and striping on Vernon Street and Douglas Boulevard (not complete).
Pedestrian
Overlay
The RGSP area is identified with a Pedestrian Overlay District with the intent to place a greater emphasis on the pedestrian rather than the automobile by implementing measures to improve walkability.
Additionally, the General Plan specifies that intersections within Pedestrian Districts shall be excluded from the City’s LOS policy which requires that 70 percent of City intersections function at LOS C or better during the PM peak hour.

In addition to the on-street bikeways and sidewalks, the NWRSP Bikeway Master Plan (Figure 29) and NWRSP Landscape Design Guidelines (LDG) Bikeway Master Plan include off-street bikeways through power line corridors and along creeks as follows:
● East-West Power Line Corridor south of Pleasant Grove Blvd from Washington to Mahany Park open space. This trail is mostly complete, but with segments remaining between Washington and Foothills, and west of Mahany Park.
● Within a north-south overhead power line easement from McAnally to south of Junction (partially adjacent to Silverado Middle School). This trail is complete. Although not shown in the specific plan there is an additional east-west trail in this area from Woodcreek Oaks to Country Club, including a portion of trail on middle school property. ● Within Open Space Parcel 78 from Foothills east towards the power line corridor and Diamond K Mobile Home Park. This trail is complete.
● Within an overhead power line easement at the north boundary of the NWRSP from Woodcreek Oaks Boulevard east to the South Branch of Pleasant Grove Creek (now the corporation yard area for Woodcreek Golf Course) and then west back towards Woodcreek Oaks Boulevard. The portion of this path within the power line easement was constructed, but it is not signed or mapped as a public path and is used for maintenance purposes. ● The NWRSP originally called for open space trails moving north-south within Open Space Parcels 79A and 79B, including a connection to the former Hewlett-Packard Campus (what is now Campus Oaks area). However, the LDG Bikeway Master Plan notes that “Bike path through the Parcel 38 Golf Course is subject to further design of the golf course.” Ultimately, the bike path through the Woodcreek Golf Course was not constructed.

Key Takeaways
This section includes key takeaways for each Plan and provides a summary of specific improvements at the corridor level.
1. General Plan (2020) – The General Plan establishes long-range development policies for private development proposals and public projects. https://RosevilleGeneralPlan Corridor Level Improvements
• See General Plan Exhibit III_5 Bikeway Plan
Key Takeaways
• The General Plan includes a number of goals and policies that support multimodal bicycle and pedestrian improvements.
2. Bicycle Master Plan (2008) – The 2008 BMP includes standards and policies for development of a comprehensive bikeway system that includes Class I shared use paths, Class II on-street bike lanes and Class III on-street bike routes.
Surveys at the time indicate a clear preference for separated bike facilities, with many respondents concerned about traffic speeds and volumes on roads with Class II bike lanes.
Corridor Level Improvements
• Miners Ravine Trail (Downtown to Sierra College Blvd.) • Dry Creek Greenway East Trail (Phase 1 under construction/Phased 2 funded/Phase 3 to be coordinated with adjoining agencies). This information is supplemental to the • Dry Creek Greenway West (Planning & Feasibility Study complete) • Pleasant Grove Creek Trails
• Northwest Roseville Power Line Corridor Trails (Sierra Vista – Mahany Park – Foothills) • Highway 65 Trail Corridor
• Washington Blvd. Trail Corridor (existing & future)
Key Takeaways
• The 2008 BMP was adopted prior to adoption of the Sierra Vista, Creekview, Amoruso Ranch and Commercial Corridor (Atlantic Street, Douglas-Harding and Douglas-Sunrise) Specific Plans. The base maps and proposed bikeway maps and bikeway miles do not include the bikeways within those Specific Plans. https://www.roseville.ca.us/SpecificPlans
• The BMP does not include guidance for development of modern bike facilities such as buffered bike lanes, Class IV cycle tracks, bike boxes, bike signals/intersection treatments, or bicycle boulevards. These types of facilities are not identified in Chapter V, Recommended Bicycle Network. Also, the BMP does not include Bikeway Design Guidelines. Also, Roseville’s Design & Construction Standards do not include guidance for development of most modern bike facilities.
• Connections to transit are referenced in the BMP (including in the existing conditions, goals/policies and route selection sections), but the plan doesn’t reference the concept of first/last mile connections to transit. • Since adoption of the 2008 BMP, Roseville has completed some pilot projects for modern bikeway facilities, including a buffered bike lane on Roseville Parkway within the Campus Oaks area, green bike lanes and enhanced intersections on Washington Boulevard, and bicycle signal heads on Junction Boulevard at Park Regency.

3. ADA Transition Plan (2009) – The ADA Transition Plan for Public Rights-of-Way documents the legal and functional goals and objectives of the City in order to make existing pedestrian facilities within the public right-of-way accessible and usable for persons with disabilities.
Corridor Level Improvements
• Appendix A includes a prioritized list of potential ADA projects.
Key Takeaways
• The ADA Transition Plan standards were created in 2008/09. City may wish to verify that the standards are still current and that they have been incorporated into the City’s Design & Construction Standards. • The ADA Transition Plan recommends compliance documentation for all new curb ramps. The City may wish to confirm that the recommended documentation practices are being implemented and that data is readily available (see full document review for further information).
4. Pedestrian Master Plan (2011) – The PMP identifies a recommended pedestrian network and establishes a 20- year framework of improvements that will enhance the pedestrian environment.
Corridor Level Improvements
• Table 19 identifies the top priority missing sidewalk segments as those that received a rank of 4 or 5, or those segments where specific requests were received by the public. • Appendix A-1 identifies all of the missing sidewalk segments by rank.
Key Takeaways
• The 2011 PMP was adopted prior to adoption of the Sierra Vista, Creekview, Amoruso Ranch and Commercial Corridor (Atlantic Street, Douglas-Harding and Douglas-Sunrise) Specific Plans. The base maps and proposed and other mapping do not include those Specific Plans. https://www.roseville.ca.us/SpecificPlans • The PMP focuses on completeness of sidewalk segments, but does not review or evaluate street crossings for safety, comfort and convenience.
• When preparing the 2011 PMP, a policy decision was made to not inventory sidewalks on residential streets.
Figure 6 does, however, identify mature neighborhoods that have no sidewalks or are missing sidewalks.
5. Local Road Safety Plan (2021) - The LRSP analyzes crash data to identify citywide trends, high-crash locations, high-risk locations, and locations with unusual crash patterns or high crash severities. – The General Plan establishes longrange development policies for private development proposals and public projects. https://RosevilleGeneralPlan Corridor Level Improvements
The LRSP identifies potential countermeasures for 5 priority intersections and 1 priority road segment:
• Sunrise Avenue and Cirby Way
• Pleasant Grove Boulevard and Highland Pointe Drive
• Cirby Way and Riverside Avenue
• Cirby Way and Melody Lane
• Blue Oaks Boulevard and Washington Boulevard
• Atlantic Street/Vernon Street, between Jefferson Street and Branstetter Street (road segment) Key Takeaways
• The LRSP was undertaken prior to Safe Streets for All (SS4A) program guidance. It is not clear if the LRSP qualifies as a SS4A Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (I.e. Vision Zero Plan) for SS4A funding. If the LRSP does qualify, it should be noted that the list of projects in the LRSP that would then be eligible for SS4A funding is limited. • Per Section 7.7, the majority of bicycle and pedestrian crashes (five-year period from 2015-2019) are occurring at intersections as opposed to roadway segments. Pedestrian crashes are more prevalent at unsignalized intersections and bicycle crashes are more prevalent at signalized intersections.

• There were 162 bicycle-involved collisions (2015-2019), making up 2.7% of all collisions in the City. Of the 162 bicycle-involved collisions, none were fatal, nine were reported with serious injury, 81 with visible injuries, and 46 with complaints of pain.
• Over the span of 2015-2019, a total of 113 pedestrian-involved collisions occurred, making up just over 1% of all collisions within the City. Of the 102 pedestrian-involved injury collisions, three were fatal (compared to 14 fatal collisions overall), 10 were reported with serious injury, 50 with visible injuries, and 39 with complaints of pain. • There were 2,211 aggressive driving collisions between 2015-2019, accounting for 36% of collisions within the City of Roseville. The California SHSP data definition for aggressive driving is a collision where primary collision factor violation category is unsafe speed, following too closely, or traffic signals and signs or the other associated factor violation category is failure to heed stop signal, failure to heed stop sign, unsafe speed, reckless driving, or following too closely.
• Approximately 11% of collisions within City of Roseville were associated with alcohol or drugs. Ten of the collisions resulted in fatalities and 30 resulted in serious injuries. Furthermore, 10 of the 14 fatal collisions within Roseville during the study period involved impaired drivers. In the City of Roseville, collisions related to impaired driving represent approximately 30% of all fatal and serious injury collisions, which is more than the state average of 25%. • There were 420 collisions reported as distracted driving collisions between 2015-2019 accounting for 7% of collisions within the City of Roseville.

Bicycle Master Plan City of Roseville 2008
Placer
HIGH LEVEL INTRODUCTION/ SUMMARY
Summary: The 2008 BMP has five chapters: Introduction; Existing Conditions; Goals, Policies & Implementation Measures (with measures for the topics of Bikeway Route Development, Bikeway Support Facilities, Maintenance, Enforcement, Education, Encouragement, Environmental and Funding); Recommended Bicycle Network; and Funding.
The Roseville BMP includes standards and policies for development of a comprehensive bikeway system that includes Class I shared use paths, Class II on-street bike lanes and Class III on-street bike routes.
ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION RELATED TOPICS
Overall
The 2008 BMP identified 119 miles of existing bikeways and 88 miles of proposed bikeways per Table 6:
Surveys at the time indicate a clear preference for separated bike facilities, with many respondents concerned about traffic speeds and volumes on roads with Class II bike lanes. Class I paths that provide regional or key access across the City include:
• Miners Ravine Trail (Downtown to Sierra College Blvd.) • Dry Creek Greenway East Trail (Phase 1 under construction/Phased 2 funded/Phase 3 to be coordinated with adjoining agencies)
• Dry Creek Greenway West (Planning & Feasibility Study complete) • Pleasant Grove Creek Trails
• Northwest Roseville Power Line Corridor Trails (Sierra Vista – Mahany Park – Foothills) • Highway 65 Trail Corridor
• Washington Blvd. Trail Corridor (existing & future)
The 2008 BMP was adopted prior to adoption of the Sierra Vista, Creekview, Amoruso Ranch and Commercial Corridor (Atlantic Street, Douglas-Harding and Douglas-Sunrise) Specific Plans. The base maps and proposed bikeway maps and bikeway miles do not include the bikeways within those Specific Plans. https://www.roseville.ca.us/SpecificPlans Standards
The BMP does not include guidance for development of modern bike facilities such as buffered bike lanes, Class IV cycle tracks, bike boxes, bike signals/intersection treatments, or bicycle boulevards. These types of facilities are not identified in Chapter V, Recommended Bicycle Network. Also, the BMP does not include Bikeway Design Guidelines. Also, Roseville’s Design & Construction Standards do not include guidance for development of most modern bike facilities. (Note: Since adoption of the 2008 BMP, Roseville has completed some pilot projects for modern bikeway facilities, including a buffered bike lane on Roseville Parkway within the Campus Oaks area, green bike lanes and enhanced intersections on Washington Boulevard, and bicycle signal heads on Junction Boulevard at Park Regency.)

Psomas. 11 Roseville ATP – Review of Existing Plans
The BMP does not reference the California Green Building Code bike parking standards.
Goals, Policies &
Implementation
Measures
The goals, policies & implementation measures are thorough and understandable but are also very lengthy. Consideration should be given to updating these to focus on the most salient policies and measures and incorporate modern standards for bikeway design and current local practices. Policies and Implementation Measures of note are described below:
BMP Policies -
Bikeway Route
Development
The BMP does not reference the California Green Building Code bike parking standards.
Policy 5 (Bikeway Route Development) states “In newly developing areas, the interval between designated bikeways should be approximately every 1/3-mile. Where feasible and where funding allows, the City should make eff orts to approach a 1/3-mile bikeway interval in infill areas.” Policy 7 & 8 (Bikeway Route Development) identify Class II bike lanes as standard facilities on arterial and collector roads, but identify instances where they may not be installed based upon engineering judgement.
Th e City of Roseville allows bicycle riding on all sidewalks except for selected sidewalks in Downtown Roseville as identified in Section 11.14 of the Municipal Code.
Policy 10 (Bikeway Route Development) states “Major roadway improvement projects proposed on existing arterial streets without bike lanes should include an investigation of the feasibility of installing Class II bike lanes.” However, the BMP does not propose Class 2 bike lanes on all existing arterials without bike lanes. This inconsistency may confuse project managers and policy makers.
Policy 11 (Bikeway Route Development) provides procedural guidance for changes to the designation of existing bikeways (I.e. removal of bike lanes).
BMP Policies –
Bikeway Support
Facilities
Implementation Measure 1 (Bikeway Support Facilities) recommends updating the Zoning Ordinance and TSM Ordinance to enhance bike parking for new development. The TSM Ordinance now references the Cal Green Building Code requirements. The Zoning Ordinance was changed to remove bike parking requirements. Prior to its change, the Zoning Ordinance bike parking requirements had been applied to high density residential projects. Since TSM/GBC apply only to commercial development, this means that the City does not have bike parking requirements for apartments or other residential projects.
Implementation Measure 2 (Bikeway Support Facilities) recommends developing standards for bicycle parking in the public realm in pedestrian activity areas. This has not been done.
Implementation Measure 3 (Bikeway Support Facilities) recommends funding an annual bike parking project. The City has installed bike parking in some areas but has not funded an annual project.
Implementation Measure 10 (Bikeway Support Facilities) recommends destination signs, trail maps, mile markers, open space and bikeway regulation signs on bike paths where appropriate. This has been partially accomplished on a case-by-case basis. The City has had plans to adopt more comprehensive guidance for this, but has not done so yet.
BMP Policies -
Maintenance
Many of the Maintenance Policies and Implementation Measures are built into the regular practices of the City. City should consider:
01-18-2024
Psomas. 12 Roseville ATP – Review of Existing Plans
• Formalizing the bikeway/trail inspections (Implementation Measure 1). • Adopting an adopt-a-path program or integrating into the adopt-a-creek program (Implementation Measure 5).
BMP Policies -
Enforcement
The enforcement section cites a goal of reducing violations and bicycle injuries and fatalities by 10% over 10 years. The policies and implementation measures identify specific enforcement effort areas that should be addressed. Consider coordination with Police Department to update this guidance.
Policies -
Education
Implementation Measure 1 (Education) states “Create a coordinated and comprehensive bicycle safety education program that provides bicycle education annually to all school-age children...” Implementation Measure 2 (Education) states “Create a coordinated and comprehensive bicycle education program targeted to adult bike riders with information regarding bike rider rights and responsibilities and proper bike riding techniques.” Roseville's bicycle education efforts are primarily focused on school-age children.
Policies -
Encouragement
This section has the goal of increasing transportation and recreation bicycle riding to work, school, play and other destinations by 50 percent by 2020, and gain acceptance of bicycle commuting as a mainstream activity through incentive and encouragement efforts. This section does not identify methods for measuring progress.
Policies -
Environmental
The Environmental policies discuss potential environmental benefits of cycling infrastructure and also efforts to coordinate project review to minimize environmental impacts of new infrastructure.
Roseville’s project review processes and teaming implement these policies.
Policies - Funding Referenced funding programs are older and need to be updated.
Policies -
Evaluation
This section states that the City should strive to achieve a 50% increase in bicycle use over 10 years and recommends establishing a plan for measuring progress. This section recommends an annual report summarizing the bicycle program and collision data. This has been done informally at the Transportation Commission, but consideration should be given to creating a consistent approach to the annual report.

ADA Transition Plan City of Roseville 2009
Placer
HIGH LEVEL INTRODUCTION/ SUMMARY
Summary: The ADA Transition Plan for Public Rights-of-Way documents the legal and functional goals and objectives of the City in order to make existing pedestrian facilities within the public right-of-way accessible and usable for persons with disabilities. The ADA Transition Plan has been prepared pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which requires that all public agencies develop a transition plan for the installation of curb ramps or other sloped areas at all locations where walkways cross curbs.
ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION RELATED TOPICS
Overall
/Standards
The ADA Design Standards were developed to combine and resolve any conflicts between the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG), published by the U.S. Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board in July, 1991, and the California State Building Code, Title 24, Part 2, of the California Code of Regulation, 2007 edition. Draft Guidelines for Public Rights-ofWay, published by the U.S. Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board on November 5, 2005, which are expected to take effect in the near future, were also considered in the ADA Design Standards. In addition, all City-approved policies and standards affecting accessibility in the public right-of way were included in the standards. City should periodically review ADA Standards to ensure that new curb ramps meet the latest standards. Update the ADA Transition Plan as needed.
Policies
Section 6 includes a compliance form for each new curb ramp constructed in the City, and a compliance form for each new sidewalk constructed in the City. City should verify that the forms are being used for new projects (city and development) and should also ensure that the forms are available for review if requested.
Infrastructure
Chapter 4 includes ADA Standards for a variety of public right-of-way improvements. These include sidewalk access, curb ramps, detectable warnings, pedestrian crossings, accessible pedestrian signals, transportation and vehicle access, street & sidewalk furnishings and temporary construction standards.
City should verify that the applicable standards of the ADA Transition Plan have been incorporated into the City’s Design & Construction Standards.
Table 6.1 provides a summary ADA Implementation Plan by Fiscal Year. The fiscal plan estimates the number of curb ramps to be constructed per year and identifies an anticipated annual cost for budgeting purposes. If not done already, City should document the actual work completed in any given year and the cost.
Appendix A includes a prioritized list of potential ADA projects. The projects are focused on curb ramp construction or re-construction and prioritization is based upon land uses served and condition of the existing facility. City should review the list of projects to determine which have been completed and update the plan if determined necessary.

PLAN NAME AGENCY YEAR COUNTY
Pedestrian Master Plan City of Roseville 2011
Placer
HIGH LEVEL INTRODUCTION/ SUMMARY
Summary: The Pedestrian Master Plan is intended to establish policies, projects, and programs that improve the pedestrian system in Roseville and increase walking for transportation, recreation, and health. The PMP identifies a recommended pedestrian network and establishes a 20-year framework of improvements that will enhance the pedestrian environment.
ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION RELATED TOPICS
Overall
The PMP documents the federal, state, regional and local context for pedestrian planning. The PMP notes that “Pedestrian Districts” have been designated in the West Roseville, Riverside Gateway and Downtown Specific Plans. This designation means that pedestrian travel takes a higher priority than automobile travel in these districts.
The 2011 PMP was adopted prior to adoption of the Sierra Vista, Creekview, Amoruso Ranch and Commercial Corridor (Atlantic Street, Douglas-Harding and Douglas-Sunrise) Specific Plans. The base maps and proposed and other mapping do not include those Specific Plans. https://www.roseville.ca.us/SpecificPlans
The PMP included an inventory of 755 sidewalk segments along arterial and collector streets. Of these, 75% of segments included full sidewalk on both sides of the street. The remaining segments had some or all of the sidewalk missing on one or both sides of the street. The inventory did not include residential streets, but Figure 6 identifies mature residential areas that have no sidewalks or are missing sidewalks.
Standards
The PMP includes Appendix B, Best Practices Manual for Pedestrian Design. The manual includes guidelines for pedestrian design that are intended to enhance accessibility for all pedestrians including individuals with disabilities, and improve safety, connectivity, and ease of use. The guidelines contain many but not all modern pedestrian design treatments.
Policies
Overall the goals, policies & implementation measures are thorough and understandable but are length and consideration should be given to updating them to focus on the most salient policies and measures. Policies and Implementation Measures of note are described below:
Implementation Measure 5 (Pedestrian Access and Circulation) states “When traffic impact studies are prepared, consider the effect on pedestrian safety as well as increased pedestrian crossing times and distances or pedestrian wait times due to longer cycle lengths.” Implementation Measure 6 (Pedestrian Access and Circulation) states “Consider adopting a “Pedestrian Safety Action Plan” tailored to Roseville pursuant to Federal Highway Administration publication FHWA SA-05-12.”
Implementation Measure 1 (Pedestrian Education, Encouragement and Enforcement Programs) states “Consider formation of a Pedestrian Safety Task Force comprised of City staff and community members to coordinate education, encouragement and enforcement strategies.” Infrastructure
Figure 5 identifies the areas of the City, mostly located near Downtown Roseville, that participate in the City’s annual sidewalk repair program.
Figure 7 shows the street segments with missing sidewalks. The missing sidewalks are classified within 3 categories: Those to be installed with other CIP projects; those that are developer responsibility; and the remainder that are part of the PMP Implementation Plan.
The PMP prioritizes sidewalk improvements based upon a missing sidewalk’s proximity to transit centers and bus stops, secondary and elementary schools, critical sites (government, health care or elderly facilities) and pedestrian districts. Figure 8 shows the sidewalks by scoring. Table 19 identifies the top priority missing sidewalk segments as those that received a rank of 4 or 5, or those segments where specific requests were received by the public. Appendix A-1 identifies missing sidewalk segments by rank.

In addition to the on-street bikeways, the SRSP Bikeway Plan (Exhibit 4-8) calls for the development of Class I Trails within Miners Ravine, Secret Ravine, False Ravine and Park Parcels PR-2, PR-3 and PR-4.
The trails planned by the SRSP within Miners Ravine, Secret Ravine and False Ravine are complete. It should be noted that the City’s 2008 Bicycle Master Plan proposed additional trail improvements within Secret Ravine Parcels 25 & 26 that are not reflected on the SRSP Bikeway Plan. Also, the trail within Secret Ravine is planned to connect to a planned trail in the City of Rocklin.
Although not discussed in the SRSP, it should be noted that the segment of trail within SRSP parcels 60 and 61 is owned by the Placer County Flood Control District, but are maintained by the City per a maintenance agreement.
The trail within PR-2, PR-3 and PR-4 (planned as a community park with a parking lot and restrooms) is mostly incomplete. There is a gravel area being used as a trailhead parking lot. This parking area was originally constructed as temporary parking for residential construction along Orvietto Drive and is in need of improvement.

Active Transportation Plan
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT SUMMARY
December 19, 2024
What is Transportation 360?
In the fall of 2023, the City of Roseville Public Works embarked on two important projects: (1) a Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA) for Roseville Transit, and (2) an Active Transportation Plan (ATP). Together, these projects culminated in the City’s Transportation 360 effort.
The COA encompassed an assessment of the COVID-19 impacts on Roseville Transit’s ridership and recommendations for how transit can better serve residents going forward. The City’s COA also coincides with the comprehensive operational analysis being developed by Placer County Transportation Planning Agency (PCTPA), with Placer County Transit and Auburn Transit, along with a subsequent shortrange transit plan that will be produced by PCTPA for all three transit systems.
Concurrently, the City updated its Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plans and combined them into one consolidated ATP, which provides a vision and action plan for improving safe and convenient active transportation travel in the City for all ages and abilities. The ATP examined and documented the current walking and biking experience in Roseville, reasons and needs for improvements, and strategies for making Roseville a top-tier walking and bicycling-friendly community.
Goals and Objectives of Community Engagement
• Gain community perspectives on transportation issues in the City of Roseville, particularly related to transit needs and active transportation use. • Educate residents and stakeholders about the development of the COA and ATP, and how these projects benefit the city and its residents and visitors. • Inform residents about the anticipated schedule for the project development process. • Provide mechanisms for two-way dialogue between the City and community members, to share information about the project, obtain input, and address questions and concerns. • Centralize communication regarding the projects via the City’s website.

Public Open Houses
During the development of the ATP, the City hosted two public open houses to share information about the project and collect input from community members.
Public Open House #1
The first public open house was held on Thursday, April 11, 2024, from 5-7 p.m. The purpose of the meeting was to provide preliminary information to the public regarding the discovery phase for both Transportation 360 projects (COA and ATP), gather input from the community, and highlight next steps.
The in-person meeting was hosted at the Martha Riley Community Library, located in Mahany Park, and more than 40 community members attended.
Following is a summary of feedback provided by attendees regarding the ATP:
• Attendees mentioned the need for more separated facilities that connect with each other, e.g., separated bike lanes/trails.
• Attendees indicated they really enjoy using trails throughout the city, but are concerned trails are not well connected, and expressed the need to provide easy connections between them. • Attendees mentioned that it’s difficult to maneuver through large intersections, especially those that include “free right turn movements” for motorists. This was highlighted as a big obstacle for people walking and biking.
• The general sentiment was that the central portions of the city are better connected than the newer (west) and older (Downtown) areas, and that it’s hard to connect between these areas. • Attendees indicated that more comfortable connections over I-80 and Highway 65 are needed.
The current connections have very fast traffic, making it uncomfortable to use, particularly for inexperienced riders.
• Attendees would like to have better connections to the Roseville Amtrak station, and from the western side of the city to the portions east of I-80.
• Attendees would like to see better end-of-trip accommodations for e-bike users, e.g., lockers and charging stations.
• Attendees would like to have better/more comfortable connections to neighboring jurisdictions, including Rocklin, Citrus Heights, and even Sacramento. There is particular interest in having a trail that connects Roseville to Sacramento.

City of Roseville – Transportation 360 – ATP Outreach Summary Public Open House #3
The third public open house was held on Tuesday, August 6, 2024, from 5-7 p.m. (Note: Open house #2 was dedicated to the COA/Roseville Transit component). The purpose of this meeting was to provide additional information to the public about the ATP component of Transportation 360. The meeting focused on sharing conceptual improvements to the city’s bicycle and pedestrian network, providing an opportunity for community members to share feedback and ask questions, and highlighting next steps.
The in-person meeting was hosted at the Civic Center, and more than 50 community members were in attendance.
Following is a summary of the comments and feedback shared by attendees:
• Attendees were glad to see plans to add sidewalks in neighborhoods where they are currently missing, including Roseville Heights, Historic Sierra Vista, downtown, and Folsom Road. • Attendees inquired about various design elements of the current and proposed trail network, including the size and scale of the bridges being used. • Attendees inquired about the timeline for completing the plan and beginning to implement recommended projects.
• Attendees indicated a need for more separated bikeways, including Class IV Separated Bikeways and trails throughout the city, as these provide a safer and more comfortable riding experience. • Several attendees mentioned they appreciate the opportunity to provide input through the online interactive map; a few indicated they had already visited/provided comments. • Various attendees inquired about accessibility considerations for sidewalks, as well as an inventory of existing sidewalks. Attendees wanted to know if the plan would provide a catalogue of existing sidewalk conditions.
• Some attendees inquired about the longer project delivery time for some capital projects and expressed an interest in “quick build” projects.
Both public open houses were promoted through the following communication channels:
• City newsletters/email blasts
• City’s social media platforms
• City of Roseville website and Transportation 360 project page • Outreach calls to more than 40 local stakeholders/community-based organizations • Pop-up events in the community

Development of
Recommendations
Memo
MEMORANDUM
Alta Planning + Design, Inc. City of Roseville
To: Suzanne Engelke, City of Roseville
From: Mauricio Hernández, Alta Planning + Design
CC: Kaitlin Scott, Alta Planning + Design
Date: May 15, 2024
Re: Roseville Active Transportation Plan - Recommendation Development Approach and Data Introduction
This memo outlines the approach and methodology for developing recommendations for the City of Roseville Active Transportation Plan. This methodology relies on using consistent data and a clear process to apply federal, state, and city design guidance in an objective and context-sensitive manner. The outcome of this methodology will be a set of maps depicting existing, funded, and newly proposed projects, along with a project list with the project name, proposed facility type, segment endpoints, and segment length for each recommended improvement. The proposed improvements will prioritize developing a complete active transportation network to improve equity access to the network, the safety of all users, and connectivity.
Guidelines and Standards
Local, state, and federal guidelines and standards to follow for developing recommendations include:
• City of Roseville Design & Construction Standards (2023) o Informs design of public infrastructure, including standards for pedestrian facilities and bikeways • City of Roseville Community Design Guidelines (2008)
o Informs design of sidewalks, traffic calming, and midblock pedestrian crossings when street frontages are privately constructed in association with Commercial (CC), Office & Industrial (OI), Multi-family (MF) and Compact Residential (CR) projects
• Caltrans 7th Edition Highway Design Manual (HDM) – Chapter 1000 Bicycle Transportation Design (2015) o Informs the design and implementation of bicycle facilities. References FHWA Bikeway Selection Guide • Caltrans Design Information Bulletin Number 94 – Complete Streets Contextual Design Guidance (2024) o Informs decision to maximize the use of the public right of way to achieve sustainable and equitable mobility
• Caltrans Design Information Bulletin Number 89-02 – Class IV Bikeway Guidance (2022) o Informs the design and implementation of Class IV bicycle facilities • Caltrans Traffic Calming Guide (2023)
o Informs design and implementation of different traffic calming treatments • FHWA Bikeway Selection Guide (2019)
o Informs facility type recommendation based on roadway speed, volume, and urban/rural context • FHWA Small Town and Rural Multimodal Networks (2016)
Recommendation Development Approach and Data FINAL 05-15-24 Alta Planning + Design, Inc. 2 City of Roseville
o Informs rural bicycle and pedestrian recommendations
• FHWA Safe Transportation for Every Pedestrian (STEP)
o Informs pedestrian improvements
• FHWA STEP: Improving Visibility at Trail Crossings (2021) o Informs pedestrian and bicycle improvements at trail crossings • FHWA Proven Safety Countermeasures
o Supplements pedestrian and bicycle recommendations as needed based on location • FHWA Road Diet Informational Guide
o Informs road diet feasibility determination
Recommendations Development Rounds
Infrastructure recommendations will be developed in two main rounds. The first round will build directly on the Existing Conditions memo, using key data to build an initial “backbone” network of bicycle and pedestrian improvements. This will include a desktop review of existing sidewalks, marked crosswalks, and bikeways data to identify clear network gaps. Additionally, the first round will focus on streets and intersections with the highest collision rates, streets with transit routes and high-ridership bus stops, areas within ¼-mile of the city’s schools, commercial corridors, and Pedestrian Districts as identified in the Circulation Element of the City’s General Plan.
The second round will be focused on identifying additional improvements across the rest of the city, based on the bicycle and pedestrian considerations and criteria below. This round will also incorporate feedback received during public engagement activities, as appropriate, such as specific locations or infrastructure types requested using the online mapping tool. Community input will be evaluated by the project team to identify feasible, cost-effective solutions to community concerns and ideas.
Recommendations Development Approach
Bicycle Recommendations Considerations
Alta will identify context-sensitive bikeway recommendations using a multi-step approach that allows us to evaluate feasibility while meeting the needs of people bicycling in Roseville. Following the guidelines and standards described above, such as the FHWA Bikeway Selection Guide, Alta will use the following high-level process for determining proposed bicycle projects:
1. Identify locations for improvements (i.e., corridors and intersections)
2. Identify the desired bikeway class.
3. Evaluate the desired bikeway class for feasibility using various criteria (described below)
4. Recommend a preferred bikeway.
5. If necessary, explore feasible alternatives or the “next best” facility if the preferred bikeway is not feasible.
Recommendation Development Approach and Data FINAL 05-15-24 Alta Planning + Design, Inc. 3 City of Roseville
The three main criteria that Alta will use to evaluate bicycle network recommendations include:
Criterion 1. Roadway Context
First, Alta will consider what facility is most appropriate for different roadways based on their motor vehicle speeds, using the City’s radar-enforceable posted speed limits and traffic volumes (AADT), using ESRI Living Atlas or Replica average daily traffic data. Federal and state guidance indicates that, in general, the higher the speed and volume of a roadway, the more protective the recommended bikeway should be. Class III bicycle routes and boulevards are most appropriate for lower speeds and volumes, such as along local residential streets; Class II bike lanes or buffered bike lines are best for streets with low speeds and low to moderate volumes; and Class IV separated bike lanes, or Class I multi-use trails are best for moderate to high speeds and high volumes. The graphic below shows general guidance for how vehicle volumes and speeds may be considered to determine a preferred bikeway type.
It is important to note that the suggested parameters in this graphic assume that actual speeds are close to posted speed limits. If, however, the City has specific data indicating that actual speeds are higher than posted speed limits (e.g., from consistent community input or police data), then Alta can consider the actual speed rather than the posted speed.
Figure 1: Caltrans DIB-94 Bikeway Selection Chart
Recommendation Development Approach and Data FINAL 05-15-24 Alta Planning + Design, Inc. 4 City of Roseville
Criterion 2. Planned/Funded Projects
This criterion builds on planned/funded and already under-design projects the City has in the pipeline over the next five years. This information will help us:
• Avoid redundant or conflicting projects between the Active Transportation Plan recommendations and previous or concurrent efforts and
• Identify potential connections to planned/funded projects to avoid bicycle network gaps.
Criterion 3. Roadway Reconfiguration Feasibility Index & Usable Space Based on ADT data from Criterion 1 and identified the need for greater accommodations for active transportation modes, Alta will also identify roadways that are candidates for roadway narrowing via lane width reduction (“lane diet”). Per the Caltrans Traffic Calming Guide, ADT provides a good first determination of whether to consider lane width reductions. According to FHWA, roadways with an ADT of 20,000 or less are good candidates for lane diets, wherein lane widths can be reduced to 10.5 or 11 feet, and excess asphalt can be striped with a bicycle lane. However, this can vary for different jurisdictions and can be further evaluated for feasibility using other considerations in the next section. We will work with City staff to determine the most appropriate thresholds for Roseville.
Other Considerations
In addition to the three primary criteria described above, Alta will consider other factors when determining bicycle recommendations, including but not limited to:
• Equity, community input, and neighborhood identity
• Collision hotspots
• Unique environment conditions like topography and landscape • Physical constraints, including available right of way • Barriers such as railroads and waterways
• Traffic vehicle mix (e.g., whether roadways have a lot of bus or freight/truck traffic) • Frequency of driveways and intersections
Recommendation Development Approach and Data FINAL 05-15-24 Alta Planning + Design, Inc. 5 City of Roseville
Pedestrian Recommendation Considerations
Pedestrian facility uses and needs vary across contexts, and the application of pedestrian facilities should be sensitive to those variations. As such, recommendations for sidewalks and other pedestrian facilities will be developed using various criteria. When appropriate, the following high-level guidelines will be followed:
1. Sidewalks should be installed on at least one side of the roadway and both sides whenever feasible for all local public roads.
a. There is at least one bus route, and high-ridership bus stops on the roadway within 1,000 feet of the missing sidewalk.
2. Roadways within ¼ -mile radius of elementary, middle, and high schools should have sidewalks on both sides of the street.
In addition to these high-level best practices, there are several other considerations for determining appropriate pedestrian treatments at different locations. The decision trees in Tables 1 and 2 outline potential treatments for different conditions on local (Table 1) and collector and arterial (Table 2) streets. These conditions include posted speed limits, roadway width, stop and signal control, the presence of transit stops, and more.

Class I Multi-Use Trail Considerations
In addition to bicycle and pedestrian recommendations, Alta will focus on Class I multi-use trail crossings and connections. Roseville has several Class I multi-use trails and Alta will identify connectivity issues in the trail network and then recommend improvements to fill in those gaps. We will use the criteria identified in the Bikeway Recommendations Considerations section to determine preferred improvements and whether on- or off-street facilities are feasible.
At intersection and midblock multi-use trail crossings, we will determine recommendations primarily based on the roadway characteristics. Figure 2 below is a summary of countermeasures considered for most types of trail crossings, from FHWA’s STEP: Improving Visibility at Trail Crossings. There is a lot of crossover with pedestrian recommendations, described in the previous section, though some additional considerations are included, such as specific trail crossing signage.
Alta will also consider the context of the roadway and potential improvements based on existing roadway characteristics. Alta will refer to the FHWA STEP (see Figure 3 below) guide to determine the most appropriate countermeasure.

Contextualizing Facility Design
Future roadway planning, engineering, design, and construction should continue to strive for a balanced transportation system that includes a seamless, accessible, active transportation network and encourages active transportation wherever possible.
Supporting active modes allows users to make decisions between transportation modes, whether to make trips entirely by walking or bicycling or to access public transit. Convenient non-motorized travel provides many benefits, including reduced traffic congestion, economic savings, increased economic development, and a healthier environment. Safe and well-connected active transportation facilities do more than help those who already ride a bicycle or walk; they encourage greater use of non-motorized transportation and make the street safer for everyone.
The design guidelines and recommendations in this document are for use in Roseville. Projects must not only be planned for their physical aspects as facilities serving specific transportation objectives; they must also consider effects on the aesthetic, social, economic, and environmental values, needs, constraints, and opportunities in a larger community setting. This is known as Context Sensitive Design and should be employed when determining which standard applies in each scenario.
When applicable, all bicycle design guidelines in this document meet or exceed the minimums set by the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessible Design, such as along Class I multi-use trails and at crossing locations. All traffic control devices, signs, and pavement markings used and identified in this document must conform to the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) as supplemented and adopted by Caltrans and the Caltrans Design Manual. Whenever possible and appropriate, Roseville's Design & Construction Standards and the guidance included in this document should be considered for the construction of bicycle facilities. There are situations where standards cannot be achieved due to geometric or environmental constraints or may not be appropriate due to a unique situation. Engineering judgment may determine that the dimensions may be reduced for specific conditions.

Bicycle Design Principles
Shared-use Paths (Class I)
Shared-use Paths (Class I), or multi-use trails as the City of Roseville generally refers to these facilities, are off-street facilities that can provide a desirable transportation and recreation connection for users of all skill levels who prefer separation from traffic. They often provide low-stress connections to local and regional attractions that may be difficult or not be possible on the street network.
Typical Application
• Can be developed in various linear corridors, open spaces, or adjacent to roadways where sufficient separation exists.
Design Features
• 10 to 12 feet is the minimum width allowed for two-way travel (with 2-foot shoulders) and is only recommended for constrained situations (Caltrans DIB-94 and HDM). o 12 to 15 feet is recommended (but not required) for heavy-use situations OR situations with high concentrations of multiple user types (people walking, bicycling, rolling, etc.) (Caltrans DIB-94). Wider facilities can more comfortably accommodate side-by-side riding and encourage more social use of trails while reducing conflicts. One-way bike paths in these settings should have a minimum width of 7 feet.
o If there is a desire to separate people walking and bicycling, wider facilities should be provided. A separate track (5-foot minimum) can be provided for pedestrian use but is not required.

*Refers to on-street multi-use trails versus off-street trails Further Considerations
Lateral Clearance
• Caltrans HDM requires that a minimum 2-foot-wide shoulder, composed of the same pavement material as the bike path or all-weather surface material (ex. decomposed granite) free of vegetation, be provided adjacent to the traveled way of the path when not on a structure. The CA MUTCD requires an additional foot of lateral clearance (total of 3 feet) to install signage or other furnishings. A 5-foot minimum clearance is required if the pathway is adjacent to a roadway.
• If bollards are used at intersections and access points, they should be colored brightly and/or supplemented with reflective materials to be visible at night. Other design alternatives are preferred over bollards.
Overhead Clearance
• The vertical clearance to obstructions across the clear width of the bike path shall be a minimum of 12 feet when Fire Department access is required; otherwise, it shall be nine (9) feet, including bike paths placed beneath bridge structures (City of Roseville Design Standards Section 13-4.B).
Striping
• When striping is desired, it is recommended that a 4-inch dashed yellow centerline stripe be used. • Solid centerlines can be provided (but are not required) on tight corners or where sight distance is limited and on the approaches to roadway crossings.
• 4-inch solid white edge lines are optional but will narrow the effective width of the facility.

Bicycle Facility Design Guidelines
Alta Planning + Design, Inc. 5 City of Roseville
Materials and Maintenance
• Must be regularly maintained to be free of potholes, cracks, root damage, and debris. Signage and lighting should also be regularly maintained to ensure multi-use trail users feel comfortable, especially where visibility is limited.
• Adjacent landscaping should be regularly pruned to allow adequate sightlines, daylight, and pedestrian-scale lighting and not obstruct trail users' travel paths.
NOTE: Roseville also has an additional classification for Class I bikeways. Class IA Bike Paths are paths that have been developed as parallel widened (8’–12’) sidewalk routes along major roadways and are separated from the roadway by a landscape strip. These paths are for the use of pedestrians and beginning bicyclists. Caltrans does not consider sidewalk facilities to be Class I facilities and does not recommend that they be signed as bike routes. However, the Class IA facilities are desirable, particularly for bicyclists of lower skill levels, such as children, as well as others who are hesitant to use on-street routes. Class IA bike paths are intended to supplement, not replace on-street bike lanes, but there may be occasions where they are used in lieu of on-street bike lanes.
Bicycle Facility Design Guidelines
Alta Planning + Design, Inc. 6 City of Roseville
Bicycle Lanes (Class II)
On-street bicycle lanes (Class II) are a portion of the roadway that has been designated by striping, signage, and pavement markings for the preferential or exclusive use of bicyclists. The bike lane is located directly adjacent to motor vehicle travel lanes and is used in the same direction as motor vehicle traffic. Bike lanes are typically on the right side of the street, between the adjacent travel lane and curb, road edge, or parking lane. Bike lanes enable bicyclists to ride at their preferred speed without interference from prevailing traffic conditions and facilitate predictable behavior and movements between bicyclists and motorists.
Typical Application
• Bike lanes may be used on streets with adequate space but are most appropriate and effective on streets with moderate traffic volumes of 3,000 to 6,000 and low to moderate speeds of 25 mph to 35 mph. • Appropriate for skilled adult riders on most streets. • They may be considered low-stress when on a street with one lane in each direction, a speed limit of 25 mph or less, and traffic volumes of fewer than 3,000 vehicles a day.
Design Features
• Mark the edge of the bike lane with a 6-inch white stripe. o When next to vehicle parking, mark a 4 to 6-inch parking lane line or "Ts" (CA MUCTD 9C-102). • Bicycle lane markings must be included at the beginning of blocks (MUTCD 9C-3) and at regular intervals along the route based on engineering judgment (MUTCD 9C.04). Bicycle lanes require standard signing and pavement markings as shown in CA MUTCD Figure 9C-102.
• 6 to 7 feet width is the preferred bike lane width adjacent to on-street parking, with 5 to 7-feet as the minimum requirement (center of stripe to center of stripe).
• 6 to 7 feet is the preferred bike lane width adjacent to curb and gutter (5 to 7 feet is the minimum requirement) or 3 to 4 feet minimum/ 4 to 5 feet preferred wider than the gutter pan width (center of stripe to center of stripe).

Source: Caltrans DIB-94, 2024
Further Considerations
• On high-speed streets (greater than 35 mph), it
is recommended but not required that the
minimum width for a bike lane should be 6 feet.
• It may be desirable (but not required) to reduce
the width of vehicle travel lanes to add or widen
bicycle lanes or calm traffic next to the bike
lane.
• Green color may be used (but is not required)
within the lane to discourage motorists from
entering the lane.
o Green paint may also be used in more
limited instances, like at the entry and
exit points of bike lanes on each block.
o Dashed green bike lane markings are recommended at conflict points like intersections, major driveways, or the beginning of turn pockets.
• On multi-lane and/or streets with speeds greater than 35 mph, the most appropriate bicycle facility for user comfort may be Class IIB buffered bicycle lanes, or Class IV separated bicycle bikeways.
Manhole Covers and Grates
• Maintenance hole surfaces should be manufactured with a shallow surface texture in the form of a tight, nonlinear pattern.
• If maintenance holes or other utility access boxes cannot be avoided in bike lanes within 50 feet of intersections or within 20 feet of driveways or other bicycle access points, specially manufactured permanent nonstick surfaces are required to ensure a controlled travel surface for bicyclists breaking or turning. • Maintenance holes, drainage grates, or other obstacles should be set flush with the paved roadway. Roadway surface inconsistencies pose a threat to safe riding conditions for bicyclists. Maintenance holes, access panels, or other drainage elements will be constructed with no variation in the surface. The maximum allowable tolerance in vertical roadway surface will be 1/4 of an inch. Drainage grates must include elements that are perpendicular to the bicyclist's travel direction.
Bicycle Facility Design Guidelines
Alta Planning + Design, Inc. 8 City of Roseville
Materials and Maintenance
• Bike lane striping and markings will require higher maintenance where vehicles frequently traverse over them at intersections, driveways, parking lanes, and along curved or constrained segments of roadway. • Bike lanes should also be maintained so that there are no potholes, cracks, uneven surfaces, or debris.
Bike Lanes (Class II) Adjacent to Right-Turn Lanes
Where right turn lanes are introduced at intersections, it is recommended that bike lanes be placed between the right turn lane and the right-most through lane or, where right-of-way is insufficient, to use a shared bike lane/turn lane. The design to the right also features striping and signage to indicate that motorists should yield to bicyclists through the conflict area.
Typical Application
• Locations where vehicular traffic must cross over dedicated bike facilities to enter a right-turn lane.
• At auxiliary right turn-only lanes or where a through lane becomes a right-turn-only lane.
Design Features
• Continue existing bike lane width; standard width of 5 to 6 feet or 4 feet in constrained locations.
• Signage should be used to indicate that motorists should yield to bicyclists through the conflict area.
• Consider (but not require) the use of colored conflict areas to promote the visibility of the mixing zone.
• In some instances, especially where bike lane alignment shifts, shared lane markings may be appropriate at conflict zones.
Further Considerations
• The bicycle lane maintains a straight path, and drivers must weave across, providing clear right-of-way priority to bicyclists.
• Maintaining a straight bicycle path reinforces the priority of bicyclists over turning motorists. Drivers must yield to bicyclists before crossing the bike lane to enter the turn lane. • Through lanes that become turn-only lanes can be difficult for bicyclists to navigate and should be avoided unless at signalized intersections that have appropriate phasing for bicycles. • The use of dual right-turn-only lanes should be avoided on streets with bike lanes (AASHTO, 2013). Where there are dual right-turn-only lanes, the bike lane should be placed to the left of both right-turn lanes. Keeping the bike lane to the right of the turn lanes is possible if a bicycle signal phase is implemented to separate bicyclists from right-turning vehicles.
Figure 9C-04, MUTCD
Bicycle Facility Design Guidelines
Alta Planning + Design, Inc. 9 City of Roseville
Materials and Maintenance
• Because the effectiveness of markings depends entirely on their visibility, maintaining the visibility of markings should be a high priority. Special consideration should be given to pavement markings on concrete that can have different application methods and different durability.
Combined Bike Lanes (Class II)/Turn Lanes
Where there is not room for a conventional bicycle lane and turn lane, a combined bike lane/turn lane creates a shared lane where bicyclists can ride and turning motor vehicles yield to through traveling bicyclists. The combined bicycle lane/turn lane places shared lane markings within a right turn-only lane.
Typical Application
• Most appropriate in areas with lower posted speeds (25 MPH or less) and lower traffic volumes (10,000 ADT or less).
• Not be appropriate for high-speed arterials, intersections with long right-turn lanes, or intersections with large percentages of right-turning vehicles.
• This treatment is recommended (but not required) at intersections lacking sufficient space to accommodate a standard through bike lane and a right turn lane.
Design Features
• The maximum shared turn lane width is 13 feet; narrower is preferable (NACTO, 2012). • Shared Lane Markings should indicate the preferred positioning of bicyclists within the combined lane. • A "Right Lane Must Turn Right" (CA MUTCD R3-7R) sign with an "EXCEPT BIKES" plaque may be needed to permit through bicyclists to use a right turn lane.
Example Combined Bicycle Lane/Turn Lane in Eugene, OR
Bicycle Facility Design Guidelines
Alta Planning + Design, Inc. 10 City of Roseville
• "Begin Right Turn Lane Yield to Bikes" signage (CA MUTCD R4-4) is recommended to indicate that motorists should yield to bicyclists through the conflict area.
o There should be a receiving bicycle lane or shoulder on the far side of the intersection.
Further Considerations
• Combined bike lane/turn lane creates safety and comfort benefits by negotiating conflicts upstream of the intersection area.
Materials and Maintenance
• Because the effectiveness of markings depends entirely on their visibility, maintaining the visibility of markings should be a high priority.
Buffered Bicycle Lanes (Class IIB)
Buffered bike lanes (often referred to as Class II buffered) are conventional bicycle lanes paired with a designated striped buffer space, separating the bicycle lane from the adjacent motor vehicle travel lane and/or parking lane.
Typical Application
• Anywhere a conventional bike lane is being considered. • On streets with extra lane width.
• Appropriate for skilled adult riders on most streets.
Design Features
• The desired minimum bicycle travel area (not including buffer) is 5 feet wide, while the absolute minimum width is 4 feet (CA MUCTD).
Example Class II Buffered Bicycle Lane in Roseville
Bicycle Facility Design Guidelines
Alta Planning + Design, Inc. 11 City of Roseville
• Buffered area width must be at least 18 inches wide but should be at least two feet wide. If the buffered area is 4 feet or wider, white chevron or diagonal markings should be used (CA MUTCD 9C-104). o For clarity at driveways or minor street crossings, a dotted line should be considered to identify the bicycle travel path, but it is not required.
o Whether the buffer is provided on the parking side, the travel side, or a combination of both is dependent upon how much right-of-way is available and where the highest risk for bicyclists is, higherspeed moving traffic or high-turnover parking. o The use of pavement markings delineates space for bicyclists to ride and buffer area to create a more comfortable facility.
o Green paint at the entry and exit points near intersections can also increase driver awareness of the presence of bicycles.
Further Considerations
• Color may be used but is not required within the lane to discourage motorists from entering the buffered lane. • On multi-lane streets with high vehicle speeds, the most appropriate bicycle facility for user comfort may be separated bikeways.
• A study of buffered bicycle lanes found that to make the facilities successful, there needs to also be driver education, improved signage, and proper pavement markings. 1 Materials and Maintenance
• Bike lane striping and markings will require higher maintenance where vehicles frequently traverse over them at intersections, driveways, parking lanes, and along curved or constrained segments of roadway. • Bike lanes should be maintained so that there are no potholes, cracks, uneven surfaces, or debris. 1 Monsere, C.; McNeil, N.; and Dill, J., “Evaluation of Innovative Bicycle Facilities: SW Broadway Cycle Track and SW Stark/Oak Street Buffered Bike Lanes. Final Report” (2011). Urban Studies and Planning Faculty Publications and Presentations.

Alta Planning + Design, Inc. 12 City of Roseville
Bicycle Routes (Class III)
Bike routes are shared facilities designated for bicycle travel. Bike routes can be either in-road facilities (where bicyclists share the travel lane with vehicles) or visually separated facilities (where bicyclists ride on paved shoulders adjacent to vehicular traffic). Signs and appropriate markings should accompany bike routes to notify all road users.
According to the FHWA Bikeway Selection Guide, "in shared lanes, bicyclists ride in mixed traffic, therefore, their comfort and safety varies widely based on traffic operating speeds and volumes. Shared lanes can be a positive and affordable solution when designed correctly and used in the correct context; however, most bike/car crashes in the U.S. occur in shared lanes that are applied to inappropriate contexts and environments." As most bicyclists (current or potential) may not feel comfortable on multi-lane or higher-speed roadways with shared lane markings, the CA MUTCD and Caltrans DIB-94 suggest these markings be restricted to roadways with operating speeds of 35 miles per hour or less. Please note that SB 1216 would “prohibit, on and after January 1, 2025, an agency responsible for the development or operation of bikeways or highways where bicycle travel is permitted from installing a new sharrow on a highway that has a posted speed limit greater than 30 miles per hour.”2 The bill would also “prohibit, on and after January 1, 2026, the [California Transportation] commission from adding a project that creates a Class III bikeway or a sharrow to the program of projects, except as specified.” Bicycle Boulevards with additional traffic calming measures are the preferred treatment.
Typical Application
• Low-volume roadways with limited roadway width and few intersections Design Features
Shared Lane
• Shared lane markings serve several purposes, including making motorists aware of the shared route and showing bicyclists the direction of travel and their preferred positioning within the lane.
• Markings should be placed to indicate bicyclist positioning in the roadway.
When placed next to parking, markings should be placed outside of the door zone. In constrained areas, center the marking in the lane. Minimum placement is 13-feet from the face of the curb (CA MUTCD 9C-07). • Markings should be placed immediately after intersections and spaced at intervals not greater than 250 feet thereafter (CA MUTCD 9C-07). 2 Senate Bill 1216 https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240SB1216
