AnaheimOUTDOORS - City of Anaheim

connectivity
Improve connectivity to adjacent cities.
The Connectivity Plan Map includes bike routes from
adjacent cities. The neighboring cities of Stanton,
Garden Grove, Orange, Yorba Linda, Placentia, and
Fullerton all have bike routes that connect, or have
the potential to connect, to the City of Anaheim.
Moving people between cities as they travel for work,
school and play is essential in forming a successful
intercity bike network.
Create Bicycle Boulevards.
There are opportunities along Lemon St., Santa Ana
Blvd., and Sycamore St. to create Bike Boulevards. A
Bike Boulevard has specific signage and striping to
alert vehicles to the presence of bicycle traffic. These
specialized streets often have reduced or irregular
speed limits, bulbouts, roundabouts and additional
landscaping to slow vehicles and enhance the
pedestrian and bicycle experience. Bike Boulevards
do not prohibit cars, but promote equal access for
bicyclists and pedestrians.

Short term parking is intended for less than two hours
and should be conveniently located at destinations.
Long-term parking is meant to accommodate users
expected to park bikes for several hours, and should
therefore be secure and weather protected. Both
short- and long-term bicycle parking should be
compatible with standard U-locks, as this is the most
recommended and secure lock type.
In order to encourage bicycling, cities should
establish a comprehensive bicycle parking program
and bicycle parking requirements for new buildings.
Zoning code can be used to outline minimum
bicycle parking requirements for different land uses,
and municipal code can include comprehensive
bicycle parking requirements, such as best practice
specifications for the number of short- and long-term
parking facilities, design standards, dimensions and
placement.
