<strong>Pomona</strong> <strong>Active</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />
November 2012<br />
Chapter 4 – Proposed <strong>Active</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong> Network<br />
PROPOSED BICYCLING NETWORK<br />
To be eligible for grant funds under Caltrans’ Bicycle <strong>Transportation</strong> Account, a city or county must adopt<br />
a bicycle plan that includes certain components outlined in Section 891.2 <strong>of</strong> the Streets and Highways<br />
Code. This section addresses the components required under Sections 891.2 (c), (d), (e), (f), and (j).<br />
The proposed bikeway network consists <strong>of</strong> routes that are designed to be the primary system for bicyclists<br />
traveling through <strong>Pomona</strong>. Streets or corridors selected for inclusion in the network are targeted for<br />
specific improvements in this <strong>Plan</strong>, such as the installation <strong>of</strong> bicycling lanes, <strong>of</strong>f-street paths, or signage.<br />
By law, unless explicitly prohibited (as they are on I-10, SR-57 and SR-71), bicyclists are allowed on all<br />
streets and roads regardless <strong>of</strong> whether the streets and roads are a part <strong>of</strong> the bikeway network.<br />
TABLE 4-1 – LENGTH OF BICYCLING NETWORK<br />
Bikeway Classification<br />
Caltrans<br />
Classification 1 Existing Proposed<br />
Shared-Use Bicycling and Walking Path Class I 1.2 miles 7.5 miles<br />
On-Street Bicycling Lane Class II 4.2 miles 28 miles<br />
Bicycling Route (Signed and Marked) Class III 2 -- 26.4 miles<br />
Long-Term Improvements TBD -- 9.9 miles<br />
Improvements Recently Completed Class II -- 3.7 miles<br />
Notes:<br />
Based on Caltrans Highway Design Manual<br />
Total -- 5.4 miles 75.5 miles<br />
The Caltrans definition <strong>of</strong> Class III includes only bicycling route signs; however, all bicycling routes in <strong>Pomona</strong> are<br />
proposed with both signage and shared lane (sharrow) markings. The <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> Berkeley refers to signed and sharrowed<br />
Class III bicycling routes as Class II.5.<br />

Figure 4-1 illustrates the <strong>City</strong>wide Existing and Proposed Bikeway Network. The proposed system<br />
includes a total <strong>of</strong> approximately 76 miles <strong>of</strong> new bikeway facilities in addition to the three miles currently<br />
in place. Table 4-1 above shows the number <strong>of</strong> proposed miles for each bikeway classification.<br />
