Existing Regional Bikeways
Updated annually, though major projects will be added as they are opened, if needed.
The Regional bikeways. The existing bikeway layer is a comprehensive layer of bikeways built and administered by local agencies throughout the region. This data reflects an integrated regional bikeway network. On-street facilities are aligned to the Regional Centerline; off-street facilities have been added from jurisdiction submissions or digitized using imagery.
Line segments represent transportation facilities for pedestrian and/or bicycle use. The "class" field signifies level of use in the design.
Class 1 designates a hard-surface multi-use trail suitable for bicycle and foot traffic. It is separate from facilities for motor vehicle traffic and meets CalTrans standards for width, signage, and surface.
Class 2 designates an on-street lane for bicycles only. Lanes have striping and other markings to separate them from motor vehicle traffic. There are versions of class 2 lanes that are separated from traffic with painted areas for added security and visibility for riders.
Class 3 designates an on-street route for bicycles only. Routes are marked by signage only; cyclists are expected to ride with the flow of traffic.
Class 4 designates a buffered bike lane. Buffered bike lanes have have striping and other markings to designate them for bicycle traffic, but also by some form of upright buffer to separate them from motor vehicle traffic. Possible buffers include curbs, planters, parked cars, and pylons. A bike lane separated by paint only is a class 2, not a class 4.
Updates will occur on a rolling basis as we review plans and learn about new bike/
