Berkeley Bike Plan Update Virtual Workshop
Tuesday, August 19, 5:30pm – 6:30 pm
Register in advance for the Zoom meeting for chance to win a $25 gift card.
Join this virtual workshop to let the City of Berkeley how to improve bicycling in Berkeley, and strengthen the network of calmed bikeways.
Your feedback will be incorporated into an update to the Berkeley Bicycle Plan, a priority list of projects that increase safety and reduce stress for those on bikes as well as scooters, skateboards, and wheelchairs.
Bicycle safety projects are never about bikes alone. They are often paired with elements to make it safer to walk or roll in a wheelchair while also increasing bike access to BART or AC Transit.
See the draft plan here, and come learn more about it at the August 19 virtual workshop. Give input at the meeting or email bicycleplan@berkeleyca.gov before the end of day on September 26.
New Bicycle Plan reflects a changing Berkeley with more mobility options
Since the Bicycle Plan was last adopted in 2017, Berkeley has built 10 new miles of bikeways – four of which are protected lanes separated from car traffic. These completed separated bikeways include Milvia Street, Bancroft Way, Hearst Avenue, Dana Street, Fulton Street, among others.
The City is now working on additional projects such as the following:
- Woolsey-Fulton Bicycle Boulevard
- Parker-Addison Mobility & Safety Improvements Project
- Ohlone Greenways Safety Improvements Project
- Addison Street Bicycle Boulevard Phase 2
The Bicycle Plan will also prioritize studies for additional projects, such as:
- Extending the Gilman Street bikeway from 4th Street to San Pablo Avenue.
- A new bicycle boulevard on Derby Street between Mabel and Warring Streets.
- An upgraded bikeway on Heinz Street between 7th Street and San Pablo Avenue.
- A new bikeway crossing on the intersection of Heinz Street and San Pablo Avenue.
- For the Channing Way and Russell Street bike boulevards, new crossings at Sacramento Street to include pedestrian crosswalk beacons and median crossing islands.
Piece by piece, these projects help build toward a Berkeley that’s easier to move through regardless of whether you’re on a bike, wheelchair or scooter.
Help City staff complete the new Bicycle Plan by sharing your thoughts, either at the August 19 virtual workshop or by emailing bicycleplan@berkeleyca.gov by September 26.
