CITY OF RANCHO CORDOVA ● BICYCLE MASTER PLANBicycling to schoolsreduces roadcongestion andimproves studenthealth.Parks – Parks are an obvious destination for recreational bicyclists. Thearea north of Highway 50 is an established neighborhood developedwhen Mather Air Force Base was thriving. Many of the parks in this areawere developed without bicycle facilities. Hagan Park and the AmericanRiver Parkway are exceptions to this rule, as they provide restrooms,water fountains, and bicycle parking. Newer parks south of Highway 50have bicycle parking available, most offer restrooms, and some offerchanging areas and showers. The parks that offer the changing areas andshowers are the parks that either have a pool now or did at some point.Retail Shopping Centers – Bicyclists appreciate opportunities to complete their errands on their bicycles.The City surveyed seven commercial locations, and although almost none of the local shopping centers in theCity offer public restrooms, showers, or storage, most offer bicycle racks for parking. One resident expressedthe appreciation of a bicycle rack at a local coffee house, as that is where their bicycle group meets beforetaking off on group rides.Schools – Bicycling to schools reduces road congestion, improves the student’s health while promoting goodhabits, and increases the student’s performance in school. All schools have bicycle racks and restrooms forstudents. Generally, only high schools offer any kind of shower or changing facilities. The high schoolscommonly only offer this service during the students’ gym period at school. Many higher education schoolsoffer shower and changing facilities for their students.CLASSIFICATION OF BICYCLE PARKING FACILITIESLong-Term Parking (Class I) – Bicycle parking facility intended for long-term parking and protected againsttheft of the entire bicycle and its components and accessories.
