Plan Description - City of Tustin

Chapter 2 • Plan Description
2.6.2 County of Orange Bikeways/Trails
The Orange County Public Facilities and Resources Department (PFRD)
current master plan proposes to complete missing segments of the existing
bike routes for the regional system. This action will provide better
circulation by efficiently linking bordering communities together. PFRD's
proposed improvements within the immediate area of the Plan are
described below:
• Route 53: Connect the Class II bikeway on Red Hill Avenue at
Barranca Parkway to Bryan Avenue.
• Route 64: Connect the Class II bikeway on Von Karman
Avenue/Tustin Ranch Road at Barranca Parkway to Walnut Avenue.
• Route 40: Develop a Regional Riding/Hiking and Bicycle Trail
along Peters Canyon Wash. Grade separated trail crossings would be
expected for this route at each arterial crossing for the Class I
bikeway and Regional Riding/Hiking Trail.
• Route 60: Connect to Route 40 by extending Route 60's Class I
facility to Peters Canyon Wash along Southern California Regional
Rail Authority (SCRRA) Railroad right-of-way.
• Route 58: Develop a Class I trail along Barranca Parkway in
coordination with the Cities of Tustin and Irvine. The Class I trail
will connect the trail system on Barranca Parkway with San Diego
Creek Channel trail.
In addition, OCPFRD is working with Orange County Transportation
Authority (OCTA) to develop a proposed Master Plan of Countywide
Commuter Bikeways. Generally, this plan is centered on developing and
refining a comprehensive commuter-oriented bikeway system. OCTA is
currently circulating a draft of this plan to the cities for review.
It is both the City of Tustin's and City of Irvine's positions that they will
not provide funding for riding and hiking trail improvements. Tustin and
Irvine will instead concentrate on bikeway and pedestrian trails due to the
fact such trails will have significantly greater use than riding and hiking
trails.
2.6.3 City of Irvine Bikeways
The City of Irvine's existing Class II bikeway network is fully developed
in the immediate area of the Plan. However, Warner Avenue and Moffett
Avenue east of Harvard Avenue have the potential to add to the Class II
system. A proposed Regional Trail along Peters Canyon Wash as well as
