Project Timeline • Conceptual Design, Public Outreach, and Environmental Review: June 2018 to December 2019 • Detailed Engineering Design: January 2020 to October 2020 • Construction: May 2021 to January 2022 Milv ilvia ia Bik Bikeway Pr Project
Project Context • 0.7 miles – Hearst Ave to Blake St • #1 priority project from 2017 Bike Plan • Highest bicycle volumes of any Berkeley bikeway (~500+ people on bikes per hour) • Highest total bicycle collisions of any Berkeley bikeway • Low ‐ Stress Network Gap : North ‐ South connector • Access to businesses, schools, healthcare, City government Milv ilvia ia Bik Bikeway Pr Project
Project Goals • SAFETY : Improve safety for everyone, especially people biking and walking • CONNECTIVITY AND ACCESSIBILITY : Preserve and where possible improve ADA accessibility, including parking access • COMFORT : A more comfortable walking and biking experience • ECONOMIC VITALITY : Maintain and improve access to businesses. Where possible, preserve parking, especially loading zones and green zones used by businesses Milv ilvia ia Bik Bikeway Pr Project

CEQA Approach ‐ Traffic Mitigations • Categorical Exemption: Section 21080.20.5 of the Public Resources Code • Recommended traffic mitigation : Extend MLK northbound left turn lane at University to Addison; remove southbound left turn lane at Addison • Potential future traffic mitigation (post ‐ project monitoring) : Time ‐ limit pm peak parking on east side of MLK just • north of University Retime signal at Center/Shattuck to add green time to • Center Milv ilvia ia Bik Bikeway Pr Project
