Help Design a Better Geary Road Bikeway

Author: bcomadmin

Date: April 3, 2013

Take our Geary Road bikeway design survey and help us design better bike lanes along Geary Road in Pleasant Hill and Walnut Creek.

We want to hear from you about what it is like to ride Geary Road and what it could be like with the type of bike improvements you want to see. We are working with Bike Walnut Creek to improve Geary Road, as well as make many new bike improvements in the Downtown Walnut Creek area.

This is a short survey to help us gauge public support for specific bikeway improvements that can easily be added to the Geary Road project before its final design is complete. We plan to share the survey results with city staff working on the project. 

You can also submit public comments via email to:

Rod Wui, Senior Civil Engineer, City of Pleasant Hill

Scott Wikstrom, Senior Civil Engineer, City of Walnut Creek

This project is the final phase of the Geary Road Improvement Project, which is a corridor enhancement project currently in development jointly by the City of Pleasant Hill and City of Walnut Creek to construct concrete sidewalk, bike lanes, roadway lane reconfiguration, storm drain improvements, and intersection improvements along Geary Road. Phase 1 and 2 (between Main Street and Putnam Boulevard) were previously completed by the City of Walnut Creek. Phase 3 is intended to extend these same corridor enhancements between Putnam Boulevard and approximately 1,000 feet west of Pleasant Hill Road, intersection. The Phase 3 project scope consists of constructing new pedestrian and bicycle safety enhancements, through the construction of continuous left turn lanes, an exclusive bike lane, and new pedestrian sidewalks. New landscape improvements, and drainage improvements will also be installed as part of this project.

The City of Pleasant Hill and Walnut Creek have jointly applied for and received over $9 million in Measure J grant money in order to fund this project. Each City is required to provide local funds as well, which have been approved and included in each City’s Capital Improvement Program budget. The project is currently in design, and is scheduled to go to construction in spring 2013. The meeting will provide attendees with a status update on activities to date, and a review of various improvement design features. Staff from both cities will address questions and gather input from attendees at this meeting, which may be incorporated prior to the completion of project design.
