Speak Up or Shut Up! Bicycle/Pedestrian Overcrossings Designs

Give us your ideas!

The City of San Ramon is seeking input from the community on conceptual ideas for Bicycle/Pedestrian Overcrossings along the Iron Horse Trail at Bollinger Canyon Road and Crow Canyon Road in San Ramon.

The proposed bicycle and pedestrian overcrossings will enhance safety and reduce delays for both trail and roadway users alike.

Submit your comments to “Open San Ramon” by visiting the City’s website www.sanramon.ca.gov. The online survey has been extended to December 31, 2014.

About the Project

The San Ramon Valley Iron Horse Trail Bicycle Pedestrian Overcrossing Project is separated into four phases.

Phase I – the Corridor Concept Plan, has been completed, and included the City of San Ramon, East Bay Regional Park District, Contra Costa County, Town of Danville, and Contra Costa Transportation Authority.

Phase I evaluated the feasibility of constructing overcrossings to improve access and safety for bicyclist and pedestrians. The Plan evaluated bridge concepts, feasibility, and potential costs.

Phase II is a collaborative effort between San Ramon, Contra Costa County, and the East Bay Regional Park District, which owns and maintains the trail. This phase is funded by Measure J, the Contra Costa half cent sales tax approved by voters in 2004.

Phase II will include a number of public outreach and design activities throughout 2014 and into early 2015. Once completed, the City anticipates seeking additional grant funding for Phase III - environmental approval and design.

Phase IV (construction) is anticipated to take place following environmental approval and pending grant funding.
