GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
BACKGROUND- THE CITY OF DOWNEY
The City of Downey is located within the Gateway
Cities region of Los Angeles County, approximately
1O miles sn/oh�nn| of Dmmn�nvvn Los Xnn�|es and
_ —____'_ --'--- __ �=__ __
approximately 12 miles northeast of Downtown Long
Beach. According tothe 2O1OUSCensus, over 11O,0OOpeople live inthe
City ofDowney. The City has ahistory ofinvolvement with the aerospace
industry since the middle of the 20m century, and dates back to the
beginning oYthe 2[Y^century asacenter ofagriculture and trade. Today,
the City ofDowney is a family -oriented community with thousands of
businesses, services, and civic groups.
VISION FOR THE DOWNEYBICYCLE MASTER PLAN
Downey has ewell-developed regional and local transportation system.
Downey enjoys excellent access 10 regional transportation assets such
asthe |-5.|-71O.|-GO5.and |-1O5freeways, the San Gabriel River Bike Path,
the Rio Honda Bike Path, and the Metro Green Line. Downey offers alocal
bus service, the Downey Link, in addition to regional service provided
by Metro. Downtown Downey provides excellent walking access to
stores, restaurants, arts and culture, and educational opportunities. Many
Downey residents ride bicycles both for transportation and for fun.
Some areas in Downey experience congestion and traffic related to
accessing local freeways and goods movement coming from the Fort
of Long Beach and the Port of Los Angeles. The local road network
required to support these needs can often mean an unsupport|ve or
uncomfortable environment for bicycling.
Furthermore, active transportation modes such as bicycling are
increasingly recognized as important components ofthe transportation
system, Bicycling helps to reduce vehicle emissions and meet
sustainaN|ity goals, improve the health and wellness of community,
and increase local economic development and civic involvement.
Based on the context oftransportation and bicycling in Downey, along
with the benefits ofencouraging bicycling within the City ofDowney, the
Downey Bicycle Master Plan (DBK4P)aims to maximize connectivity by
bicycle to the assets already in place in the C|ty. The primary goals of
the Bicycle Master Plan are to provide a safe, ef5c|ent, and connected
network ofbicycle facilities that residents and stakeholders can enjoy for
avariety ofpurposes,
COMMUNITY INPUT PROCESS
The development of the Bicycle Master Plan comes as part of an
effort by the City ofDowney to address local and regional desires to
enhance the viability ofbicycling asemode oftransportation and reduce
transportation system impacts on local communities, By making biking
easier and safer, the City can better manage its transportation network
and reduce its overall greenhouse gas emissions resulting from single
occupant driving, The goe|s, po|ic|es, recommendat|ons, and action
items |nthis Plan are the outcome ofasubstantial public outreach effort
by the Ok/ The process to develop the Bicycle Mader Plan began in
K4ay2O14,
In order to involve the public in the development of the Bicycle
Master P|an, the project team conducted public engagement activities
throughout the summer. These activities are detailed more fully in
Chapter 3, and include:
9 Outreach at special events such as the Tour de Downey and
Summer Concert at Furman Park

SUMMARY OF KEY ISSUES
Based ondata collection including field visits, survey responses, apublic
input dot exerc|se, a public input mapping exerc|se, vehicle counts,
bicycle counts, and a collision ana|ys|s, several key issues related to
bicycling inDowney, were identified, These key issues helped guide the
development ofthe proposed bicycle network included in this Plan.
First, there is latent demand for bicycling in Duwney. Figure E51 and
ES-2 show the pnahamsd types ofbicycle facilities and bicycle park|ng,
based on dot exercises conducted at the public meetings. The most
popular type of bicycle facility was a cycle hack (also known as a
protected bicycle lane) or a buffered or colored bicycle lane. The most
popular type of bicycle parking was an artistic or branded rack, followed
by the post -and -loop sty|e, and bicycle transit center parking.

Figure ES-3 shows the survey responses to the question ^|n your
opinion, do [the potential challenges and obstacles to biking listed
be|ovv] discourage people from biking in Downey?" Eighty-five percent
of survey respondents thought that the lack of bicycle lanes was an
obstacle that discouraged people from biking, and 80!& of respondents
thought that speeding was an obstacle that discouraged people from
biking, Developing a comprehensive network of bicycle facilities cou|d
encourage people to consider riding a bicycle for the first time and to
ride more often

Second. many arterials have two lanes in each
direction and parking lanes unboth sides, but support
|owepthan-expectedtraffic volumes. Several ofthese
arter|a|s experience speeding concerns, based on
vehicle counts, speed surveys, and survey responses.
Changes tothe lane configurations onthese arterials
could provide sufficient space for bicycle |anes,
encourage motorists todrive more slowly, and provide
connections throughout the City, vvh||e minimally impeding corridor
performance and reducing collisions,
Finally, there &alack ofbicycle connections tosome ofthe most valuable
resources inthe City. Many residents enjoy riding onthe bike paths along
the east and west sides ofthe City, but experience adifficult time biking
tothem. Similarly, the Metro Green Line Station provides regional access
to jobs and resources, but lacks designated bicycle facilities between
the station and neighborhoods within Downey,
PROPOSED NETWORK
Based on the existing conditions in Downey and the public input
obtained throughout the Bicycle Master Plan process, new bicycle
facilities are proposed in two phases. Proposed projects are detailed
more fully in Chapter4. Figure E5-4 illustrates the extent and connectivity
ofthe proposed facilities.
Phase | projects for the proposed bicycle network include Class U and
Class U| bikeways. In total, 33 Phase | projects include over 16 miles
of Class U bike lanes along with 21 miles of Class U| bike routes. Key
corridors include Class U bicycle lanes onWoodruff Avenue, Old River
School Road, Downey Avenue, Brookshire Avenue, Columbia VVa8
6ardenda|eStreet/Foster Road, and Gallatin Road. The recommended
Class III bikeway facilities are appropriate for narrower residential streets
that experience less vehicular traffic, These bikeways would include
signageand wayfnding.on-street sharnzws.and could include additional
traffic calming elements. In some cases, such ason 0d River School
Road and Brookshire Avenue, Class U bike lanes will transition toClass
U| bike routes in advance of intersections that require higher vehicular
capacity, |norder toretain two travel lanes |neach direction through the
PHASE//
Phase U projects wmu|d build on the momentum from the Phase |
pnojeds, connecting parts of the network that include more space -
constrained intersections and street segments. These projects may
require innovative treatments and adjustments to existing pavement
markings, signal timing, orr|ght-of-way|ntotal, Phase Uprojects include
approximately 1.5 miles of on -street connections such as bike lanes and
two capital -intensive bicycle/pedestrian bridges.
PROPOSED END-OF-TR/p BICYCLE FACILITIES
Bicycle parking is generally categorized into two types: short-term and
long-term Short-term parking consists of bicycle racks located outside of
buildings or in the public rights -of -way (on sidawa|ks, vehicular parking
spaces, or parks). Short-term bike racks should be convenient and in
dose proximity to a bicyclist's destination. Long-term parking provides
a high level of security for a bicycle and the items attached to a bicycle
(e.g. lights, panniers), Long-term bike parking includes bike |ockers, bike
rooms, bike cages, and bike stations.
Chapter 4provides additional details and location recommend aUonsfor
short-term and long-term bicycle parking based oncommunity feedback
and input,

a variety of purposes.
PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT AND PLAN DEVELOPMENT
The development of the Bicycle Master Plan comes as Vert of an
effort by the [8y ofDowney to address local and regional desires to
enhance the viability ofbicycling asemode oftransportation and reduce
transportation system impacts on local communities. By making biking
easier and safer, the City can better manage its transportation network
and reduce its overall greenhouse gas emissions resulting from single
occupant driving. The City of Downey General Plan, adopted in 2005.
identifies active modes of transportation such as bicycling as a way to
mitigate congestion and advance livable communities. The General Plan
Circulation Element directly recommends the creation ofaBicycle Master
Plan toidentify bicycle routes throughout the City (Program 2.222).The
process to develop the Bicycle Master Plan began in May 2014.

Additionally, project staff engaged in several data collection efforts to
support the development of the plan. These data included measurements
of street and lane widths, alignments, traffic counts, motorist and bicyclist
behavior observations, and video footage of each proposed bike route
using a GoPro camera.
PROPOSED BICYCLE
NETWORK
Based on the goals and context
of the Bicycle Master Plan,
along with the public input
process, a proposed bicycle
network of on -street and end -
of -trip facilities was developed
by the project team for review
by the City and by the public.
This proposed network is
discussed in Chapter 4. Table
1-1 summarizes the proposed facilities by type and mileage. Figure 1-1
illustrates the Proposed Bicycle Network,
PROPOSED POLICY AND PROGRAM HANGES
To support the infrastructure changes suggested in the Proposed Bicycle
Network, the Bicycle Master Plan also recommends policy changes
and programming to maximize the effectiveness, safety and utilization
of new bicycle facilities. Table 1-2 summarizes the policy changes and
programming recommendations.

CITY OF DOWNEY PLANS AND POLICIES
[}OVV0EYGENERAL PLAN
The Land Use Element ofthe Downey General Plan outlines the use
of space within the City. The Land Use Diagram displays the land use
categories established in the General Plan, including low- to medium -
density res|denUa|, commercial, manuhactur|ng, open space, schoo|s,
pub|ic, and mixed -use. The City ofOowney's land use and settlement
patterns are shown in Figure 2-1. The City enjoys a relatively thorough
integration of commercial and retail opportunities within easy access to
most residential neighborhoods. This provides e good framework for a
bicycle network that can provide access to key destinations within the
City
In addition to the land use designations, other goals in the Land Use
Element relevant to the Bicycle Master Plan include promoting the
establishment of T0Da near the Green Line Station at Lakewood
Boulevard and at the 1105 Freeway, promoting Downtown Downey as
a destination for entertainment and dining uaes, promoting mixed -use
and "smart growth" areas in Downtown Downey and Downey Landing,
and promoting project designs that reduce dependency onvehicles and
promote pedestrian, transit and alternative modes oftravel.

with more visible Class U bike lane treatments on Downey Avenue and
Brookshire Avenue. The facilities proposed in the Bicycle Master Plan
are consistent with those proposed in the Downtown Downey Specific
The Mobility Plan also recommends "Class |^ bicycle parking facilities,
defined as bicycle storage racks. bicycle lockers, bicycle "barns"
(staffed or unstafed). to be located near the Downey Depot and the
Civic Center. Other recommended end -of -trip facilities include lockers,

Finally, the Mobility Plan recommends rest amenities like drinking
fVuntains, benches' picnic tables and lawn areas, some of which are
already provided through the downtown area. The Bicycle Master Plan

bicycles on a city street or sidewalk to obtain a license for the bicycle.
The sections speo|h/|nQ the requirement to obtain e license were
originally adopted in 1958. and updated |n1984. OnJune 1O. 2014. an
ordinance was passed to repeal Article U|. Chapter 2 of the Downey

DOWNEY PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN
(FORTHCOMING)
The survey summary from the forthcoming Parks and Recreation Master
Plan shows that Furman Park and Apollo Park are the most -utilized
spaces |nthe City. The survey also shows that amajority ufrespondents
would be willing to raise property taxes $20 per year or more for
improvements to existing parks, development of tra||s, or additional
recreation programs. Recently, the City announced plans to install two
walking trails at local parks, This shows strung public support for park
improvements and active recreation improvements, which could include
bicycle facilities. The Bicycle Master Plan considers these important
community resources in the development of the proposed on -street
bicycle facilities and bicycle parking facilities.

that have undergone detailed analysis and represent the options
available for selection. The options vary in terms of investment and
final implementation components, With portions of the LA River in the
area having a designated bicycle path north and south of downtown
Los Angeles, the selected alternative will help close the facility gap and
improve bicycle accessibility and connectivity throughout the region. The
Downey Bicycle Master Plan addresses connectivity hztwo other major
north -south regional bike paths, the Rio Hondo and the San Gabriel River

EXISTING AND FUTURE LAND USE AND
SETTLEMENT PATTERNS
The City of Downey is a member of the Gateway
Cities Council of Governments (GCCDE). which is developing an Active
Transportation Plan for the region. This Bicycle Master Plan is the first
comprehensive bicycle planning effort conducted by the City.
The City o[Downey experiences mild temperatures and low levels of
rainfall. The City is relatively flat, and crossed by a grid of streets that
support easy access to freevvays, regional economic opportunities,
local economic and recreational opportunities, and regional goods
movement. Patterns of commercial and residential development have
resulted in a well -integrated city which offers short trip -lengths to
everyday destinations.
These conditions offer both opportunities and challenges to active
modes oftransportation such as bicycling. The climate and topography
are ideal for cycling, and the integrated development patterns throughout
the City minimize trip |engths, ideal for bicycling. However, the City is
situated along important regional corridors, resulting in e high proportion
oftruck traffic and through traffic that could discourage bicycling.
Future land use and development patterns have been identified in the
General Plan and the Downtown Downey Specific Plan, discussed |nthe
previous chapter, Figure 3-1shows the areas identified for future mixed -
use development, which are ideal locations to encourage bicycling for
transportation. These considerations have shaped the development of
the proposed bicycle network presented in Chapter 4.
THE BICYCLING ENVIRONMENT
E(SONG AND FUTURE BICYCLING ACTIVITY /NDQWNEY
Knowing how many people bicycle, and for what purposes' can help
Downey develop effective projects and programs to better serve
residents and resident -employees, Acommon term used in describing
demand for bicycle facilities is "mode sp|it.^ Mode split refers to the
form of transportation a person chooses to take, such as walking,
b|cyc|ing, public transit ordriving, It is often used in evaluating commuter
alternatives such as b|cyc||ng, where the objective is to increase the
percentage of people selecting e means of transportation other than
the single -occupant (or drive -alone) automobile, Table 34 presents
the American Community Survey data (2013. 5-year estimates) for the
journey -to -work mode split for the City of Downey, compared to the
United States, California, and Los Angeles County,
As shown, driving is the predominant means of commuting in Downey,
higher than the rates for Los Angeles County, California, and the United
States asawhole, Bicycle trips represent less than one percent ofhome-
based work trips in Dmwney. This should not be misinterpreted as the
bicycle mode share of all trips for several reasons:
� Journey -to -work data only represents commute trips, which tend
to be longer than shopp|ng, schoo|, recreaUon, and other trips,
and are therefore less compatible with bicycling.

� Census journey -to -work data fails to capture
people who commute by bicycle one or two
days per week.
� Journey -to -work data does not account for
commuters with multiple modes of travel to
and from work, such as commuters that ride a
bicycle 0oatransit station before transferring to
transit for the remainder of theirjourney to work.
9 Noseparate accounting ofshopping, school, orrecreational trips
is made in the Census', these trips make up more than half of
the person trips on a typical weekday and a significantly greater
proportion on the weekend. These trips also tend to be short to
medium in length and therefore can be well suited for bicycling.
9 Journey-to+workreports information for adult work trips, but does
not request data onschool trips, which are much more likely tobe
bicycling trips becauseaohoo|aged individuals cannot drive until
the latter half oftheir high school years.
The SCAG's Year 2000 Post -Census Regional Travel 5umey, which
surveyed 17,000 households in the 6-county Los Angeles area, found
that 1% of all trips in the region are by bicycle. Bicycle commuting rates
|nLos Angeles County have risen since 2OOO(from 0,65&to(I8%).soVis
likely that overall bicycle trips have risen aswell.
Table 3-2 summarizes bicycle ridership estimates for commute and non -
commute cyclists, According to the 2013 American Community Survey
(5-yearesUmates).there were 2O/698 Students from grades 1to12and |n
college |nDowney. Based onprevious data collected inasimilarly-sized
city in Los Angeles County, and data collected by LA County Metro,
approximately 29& of students in elementary school or college ride a
bicycle tuschool. Based on these assumptions (28.698x2%). Downey
would have an estimated 574student cyclists. Approximately 1.408 of
Downey workers commute by transit (reported in the 2013 ACS 5-Year
EsUma0as),According toon-board bus and rail surveys conducted by
Metro in 2001, approximately 1.2% of transit riders cycle to transit stops-,
therefore, Downey would have about 18home-to-tnansKcyclists (1.489x

Commute trips represent aminority ofbicycle trips. Toget afuller sense
oYbicycling |nDowney, one must account for the other reasonsforvvh|ch
people use bicycles. The National Bicycle & Walking Study, published
by the Federal Highway Administration in 1995, estimated that for every
commute trip made by bicycle, there were 174tr|ps made for shopping,
soc|a|, and other utilitarian purposes. Assuming the average commuter
makes two trips per day, we can estimate the total number of commute
trips to be 1.388 (693 commuters x 2 trips per commuter). We can then
estimate the number of additional non -commute trips in Downey to be
2,411 (1,386 commute trips x 1.74 non -commute trips).
Additionally, cycling is a popular recreational activity for all age groups,
While portions of this plan are focused on encouraging bicycling as a
form of transportation, recreational riders, with encouragement may
transition tobicycling commuters, Similarly, recreational cycling can bea
popular family activity, and children who ride with parents may be more
likely to bike to school or with their friends. Aegard|ess. Downey has a
mild d|mate. flat terrain, and many parks, schoo|s, and other community
destinations within a 10-minute bicycle ride of downtown or residential
neighborhoods.
26
...................................................................................................
The Federal Highway Administration and KS. Department of
Transportation released in May 2040 the National Bicycle & Walking
Study: 15Year Status Report. The agencies found that between the initial
report in 1995and household survey data collected in 2009. bicycling
activity had increased in genera|, though not to the goal of doubling
walking and biking trips that was set in 1995. Interestingly, though only
one percent of respondents in the 2009 National Households Travel
Survey said that they made everyday trips by bike, 12 percent said that
they had ridden abike |nthe past week.
Future bicycle trips will depend on a number of factors such as the
availability of well-connected facUities, appropriate education and
promotion programs designed to encourage cycling, and |ocat|on,
density, and type of future land development, Cities with thoughtful
bikeway plans and meaningful implementation programs have found
high levels of correlation between bicycle facilities and number of
cyclists, Three cities with such plans — Portland, San Francisco, and
Seattle —found that the number of cyclists on a bicycle corridor after it
was improved was double ortriple the previous oounL More generally,
the 2010 National Bicycle & Walking Study-, 15 Year Status Report found
that between 19QD and 2OD8funding for bike and pedestrian projects
increased from less than 0.5 percent offederal transportation funding
to about one percent. Over that same time, pedestrian and bicycle trips
increased by about 50 percent.
With appropriate bicycle facilities in place and implementation of
employer trip reduction programs, the bicycle mode split could increase
significantly above its current rate, According to the methodology
adopted by Metro and outlined in their Bicycle Transportation Strategic
Plan (Volume 2), cities can expect to see a 279% increase in bicycling
upon build -out ofa complete bicycle network. By expanding bicycle
fed||Ues that encourage a broad cross section of bicyclists and improve
safety, Downey could increase the current mode split, which would result
in over1O.ODO bicycle trips daily by 2020. as shown in Table 3-3.

The California Streets and Highways Code designates three classes of
bikeways: Class |.[|aae U.and C|essUi Class bikeways are also known
as"bike paths" or^shared-usepaths.^These facilities are constructed on
separated right-of-way, intended exclusively for bicycles and pedestrians
with minimal interference bymotorized vehicles. Class U bikeways, also

bicyclists typically bypainting a separated space on the same roadway
used bymotorized vehicles. The use ofClass U bikeways by motorists
or pedestrians is prohibited except to cross the bike lane or to park.
Class U| b|keways, frequently referred to as "bike routes," are typically
designated on the roadway bysigns and painted ^sherumvs.^ Class U|
bikeways are generally provided where the vehicle speeds and volumes

and east sides ofthe city, respectively. These bicycle paths are popular
recreational destinations as well as important regional connectors
between Downey, the Gateways Cities reQ|on, and other parts of Los
Angeles County.
In addition to the Class | b|kewaya, end -of -trip bike parking exists at the

COMMUNITY INPUT PROCESS
The development of the Bicycle Master Plan comes as part of an
effort by the City ofDowney to address local and regional desires to
enhance the viability oYbicycling asamode oftransportation and reduce
transportation system impacts on local communities. By making biking
easier and safer, the City can better manage its transportation network
and reduce its overall greenhouse gas emissions resulting from single
occupant driving. The process todevelop this plan began inMay 2U14.
PUBL/c EVENTS
The goals, po||c|es, recommendations, and action items |nthis Plan are
the outcome of substantial public outreach effort by the City. During
June and July JO14.the project team accepted public input tothe Plan a1
various events. Project team members talked tothe public about the Plan

During the Tour de Downey event, project staff
manned aninformation table about the Bicycle Master
Plan and conducted amapping exercise tosolicit input
about the bicycling environment in Downey and future bicycle facilities.
Visitors were encouraged to fix sticky notes to the map identifying
specific roadways and locations with positive or negative input or
recommendations. All ofthe sticky note comments were documented

across all streets identified were�adding bike lanes, adding connections
to river bike paths, and concern about vehicular speed and volume.
Adding a bike share program, especially in conjunction with access to
the Metro Green Line Lakewood Station, was suggested several times,

SUMMARY OF KEY ISSUES
Based on data collection including field NsUs, survey responses, a
public input dot exercise, a public input mapping exerc|se, vehicle
counts, bicycle counts, and a collision analysis, several key issues were
identified related to bicycling in Downey. These key issues helped guide
the development ofthe proposed bicycle network included in this Plan.
First, there |salatent demand for bicycling |nDowney. Figure 3-7shows
the survey responses tothe question "In Your opinion, do[the potential
challenges and obstacles to biking listed below] discourage people
from biking in Downey?" Eighty-five percent of survey respondents
thought that the lack ofbicycle lanes was anobstacle that discouraged
people from biking, and 00% of respondents thought that speeding
was an obstacle that discouraged people from biking, Developing
a comprehensive network of bicycle facilities visible to residents of
Downey could encourage people toconsider riding abicycle for the first
time and to ride more often,
Second, many arterials have two lanes in each direction and parking
lanes on both sides, but Support lower -than -expected traffic volumes.
Several of these arterials experience speeding concernu, based on
vehicle counts, speed surveys, and survey responses, Changes tothe
lane configurations onthese arterials could provide sufficient space for
bicycle |anes, encourage motorists to drive more slowly, and provide
connections throughout the city, while minimally impeding corridor
performance and reducing collisions.
Finally, there halack ofbicycle connections tosome ofthe most valuable
resources |nthe city, Many residents enjoy riding onthe bike paths along
the east and west sides ofthe City, but experience adifficult time biking
to them. Similarly, the Metro Green Line Station provides regional access
to jobs and resources, but lacks designated bicycle facilities between
the station and neighborhoods within Downey,
Figures 3-8 and 3-9 illustrate the 1-, 5` and 10+n|nu0e bike travel times
from the Downey Civic Center, Warren High School, and the Metro Green
Line Station, Figure 3-8 shows the bike travel times when all streets are
included in the analysis; the coverage of the City within a 5-minute bike
ride of these three destinations is relatively comprehensive. Figure 3-9
shows a similar analysis, excluding streets with six lanes. The coverage
of the City within e 5-minute bike ride is considerably d|m|n|ched,
particularly from the Metro Green Line Station and at the edges of
the Oty. The proposed bicycle network is designed connect these
destinations to neighborhoods and toeach other, on comfortab|e, safe
facilities |norder tosupport better multi -modal access through the City.
33
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~^~~~~~~^~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~^~~~~
This Bicycle Master Plan proposes a network
of bicycle facilities including routes that could
immediately support bicycle lanes and bicycle routes,
providing comprehensive coverage of the City to
key destinations, as well as projects that would help
maximize the connectivity of facilities throughout the
city, improve access tothe regional bike paths, and
provide connections toadjacent cities.

PROPOSED BICYCLE NETWORK
Based on the existing conditions in Downey and the public input
obtained throughout the Bicycle Master Plan process, new bicycle
facilities are proposed in two phases,
Phase 1 projects for the proposed bicycle network include Class II and
Class III bikeways. Table 4-1 summarizes the type, length, and location of
each facility. In total, 33 Phase 1 projects include over 16 miles of Class II
bike lanes along with 21 miles of Class III bike routes. Figure 4-1 illustrates
the extent and connectivity of the proposed facilities for Phase 1.
The proposed Class II bikeways along Woodruff Avenue between
Firestone Blvd and Foster Road could be constructed without any other
change to the existing cross-section of the street. The other proposed
Class II bikeways along Old River School Road, Downey Avenue,
Brookshire Avenue, Columbia Way, and Gallatin Road would require a
"road makeover" — sometimes referred to as a road diet — to transform
the street from two lanes in both directions and parking on both sides
to one lane in each direction with a center turn lane, bicycle lanes, and
parking on both sides.
Road diets are traffic Calming tools designed to encourage motorists to
obey the speed limit, improving safety for all road users and adjacent
residents. In Downey, as discussed in the previous chapter, speeding
is a particular problem on residential streets (secondary arterials) that
have excess Capacity and width. The road diet reduces average speed,
maintains operational efficiency based on existing and forecasted traffic
volumes, and improves safety.

In addition, road diets allow the reallocation of right-of-way from motorists
to other uses such as streetscaping or bicycle lanes. The amount of
reallocated right-of-way on the proposed segments would permit the
construction of high -quality bicycle lanes with a buffer between the
bicycles and the moving vehicles, while maintaining existing parking on
both sides of the street.
The recommended Class III bikeway facilities are for narrower residential
streets that experience less vehicular traffic. These bikeways would
include signage and wayfinding, on -street sharrows, and could include
additional traffic calming elements, In some cases, such as on Old River
School Road and Brookshire Avenue, Class II bike lanes will transition
to Class III bike routes in advance of intersections that require higher
vehicular capacity, in order to retain two travel lanes in each direction
through the intersection.
PHASE 11
Phase 2 projects would build on the momentum from the Phase 1
projects, connecting parts of the network that include more space -
constrained intersections and street segments. These projects may
require innovative treatments and adjustments to existing pavement
markings, signal timing, or right-of-way. For example, the Class III bike
routes on Rives Avenue and Tweedy Lane could be connected along a
short segment of Florence Avenue to provide a continuous north -south
connection across the city, but would likely require changes to Florence
Avenue along that segment. These opportunities and challenges Dave
been identified in Table 4-2. In total, Phase 2 projects include 2.5 miles
of on -street connections such as bike lanes and two capital -intensive
bicycle/pedestrian bridges.
Once Phase 1 Improvements are implemented, public support may be
strong enough to begin discussions about more difficult connections
in the bicycle network. In addition, capital -intensive projects such as
bicycle/pedestrian bridges require several years for planning, design

PROPOSED E0[)-OF-TR|PBICYCLE FACILITIES
Bicycle parking ordinances allow a city to provide end -of -trip bicycle
facilities inastreamlined, transparent manner. The process ofdeveloping
an ordinance includes setting appropriate levels of bicycle parking for
different land uses, establishing design standards, and developing siting
requirements to ensure that installed bike parking is functional and
appropriate in the land use context.
Bicycle parking is generally categorized into two
types" short-term
parking and long-term parking. Short-term
parking consists

bicycle parking is accessible and functional. Both the City of Los Angeles
Ordinance and the Model California Bicycle Parking Ordinance have
good design and siting language. The Association of Pedestrian and
Bicycle Professionals' (APBP) Bicycle Parking Design Guidelines also
provide good siting language along with accompanying photos and
graphics. The APBP guide can be provided as a companion reference to

Inverted - U: The inverted-U Is a common and effective type of bicycle
parking that can typically accommodate two bicycles per rack. This
rack fits within a bicycle's envelope, provides support at two points, and
allows for ease of locking a bicycle frame and wheel. These racks are
appropriate for sidewalks, public facilities, and public garages.

accommodate two bicycles per rack. This rack fits within a bicycle's
envelope, provides support at two points, and allows rot ease of locking
a bicycle frame and wheel. These racks are appropriate for sidewalks,
public facilities, and public garages.
Artistic l Branded Bicycle Rack: Some cities have developed or
commissioned the design of artistic or branded racks for their cities
,t
or neighborhoods. These racks can take -on a unique shape or be a
variation of a common bicycle parking type and contribute to aesthetics
of the streetscape. It is important that cities consider space required
to accommodate bicycle parking, overall appearance, security, ease of
use, and parking capacity. These racks are appropriate for sidewalks
and public facilities.
Ltiti-Term,Park{r : .
Bicycle Lockers: Bicycle lockers provide an enclosed storage space
for each parked bicycle. Bicycles secured in lockers are generally
less vulnerable to theft and damage than those secured to racks_ It is
70-mamo
important that cities consider the locking mechanism and shell design
for security purposes and site layout for proper functionality. Lockers
are appropriate in areas where security Is a concern and cyclists needto
park their bicycles for extended time periods, such as transit stations
Bicycle Transit Center Parking: Bicycle transit centers provide secure
k v
and climate -protected bicycle parking. These facilities typically offer
tree parking during operating hours 24-hour parking through paid
memberships, and a variety of cycling services and amenities. These
facilities are most appropria(e near major transit hubs.

and illustrate preferred bicycle rack designs and undesirable bicycle
rack designs, for short-term and long-term parking.
PUblic Right of Wd,y
The City should continue to provide bicycle parking in the public right-
of-way, particularly along commercial corridors. The city should establish
a program to allow local businesses to request a bike rack for the city to
install in the public right-of-way outside of the establishment. See below
for guidance on siting bicycle racks in the public right-of-way.
The existing municipal code allows for signs that prohibit bicycling
parking. If bicycles are regularly observed to be parked by being
affixed to undesirable objects, then it is an indicator that better bicycle

accommodations are needed at that location. Instead of installing signs
prohibiting bike parking, consider installing bike racks and place signs
indicating the proper location for secure bike parking,
Bicycle Pack Sitil7g
Bicycle racks installed in the public right-of-way should be placed to
avoid conflicts with pedestrians and parked vehides, on sidewalks
typically near the curb. Bicycle racks on private property should be
placed in high visibility areas vvVh|n 50' of building entrances. Bicycle
racks should be placed a minimum of 30^ (36^ preferred) apart to
accommodate two bicycles parking next to one another as shown in
Figure 4~4. Spacing guidance for bicycle racks grouped with aisles is
provided in Figure 4-5. On sidevva|ks, bicycle racks should generally be
oriented parallel to the curb within the furnishing zone. See Figure 4-6
for spacing recommendations. Racks provided atbus stops orloading
zones should not interfere with boarding or loading.
BicYcle Com7hs
Include definitions in the Municipal Code for e bicycle corral (also known
as "in -Street" or "On -Street" bicycle parking), Bicycle corrals are created
by converting on -street parking spaces orother underutilized roadway

Requoed Bicycle PorkingbyLand Use
Adopt bicycle parking requirements byland use. Ratios can beused to
determine the amount ofbicycle parking needed for new development
and major renovations, Bicycle parking ratios can be calculated based
on the square footage of each land use, a percentage of car parking
requ|remen1s, or using specific
number of units (i.e. number
of employees, or number of
bedrooms). In addition to using
rat|os, many communities with
bicycle parking ordinances also
require o minimum number of
bicycle parking spaces, Setting Abandoned, stripped bicycle locked /o
e minimum (such as two spaces) bicycle rack
is important for buildings that
fall below square foot orcar parking requirement, Table 4-4 provides
recommended numbers of required spaces from the Model California
Bicycle Parking Ordinance.
Licensed Parking Facilities
Require public bicycle parking as a
condition of issuance or renewal of
a license for indoor parking garages
or outdoor parking |Ns. Siting
requirements should ensure easy
and safe access between the public

While engineering and infrastructure
enhancements are critical elements for improving bicycle safety and
encouraging more people to ride a bicyc|e, educational programming'
encouragement campaigns and enforcement efforts are complementary
to infrastructure investment and essential components of ciiy's fully -
developed bicycle strahegy. Additionally, conducting evaluation efforts
around all types of bicycle improvements can help demonstrate the
value of investing in a well -developed bicycle stnategy,
EducaUon, encouragement and enforcement programs increase the
safety, utility, and viability of infrastructure projects. They often include
e combination of municipal support and volunteer engagement, which
can have on exponential effect on the extent to which a community
embraces edty'sbicycle efforts. Because ofthis community -supported
mode|, support programming can have very large effects vvh||e relying
on small budgets. Education campaigns should include residents ufall
ages, especially emphasizing school -aged children where safe bicycling
habits can beinstilled asalife-long lesson.
These types of support programs also ensure compliance with the
criteria required by the former California Bicycle Transportation Account
(BTA) and currently required by the Active Transportation Program (ATP)
for an active transportation plan. The ATP provides funding for the
implementation of bicycle programs and infrastructure.
Ex|ST|NG BICYCLE SAFETY EDUCATION AND
OUTREACH PROGRAMS
There are currently nuongoing orbicycle safety oreducation programs
in Downey, though several recent safety and education activities have
taken place atthe following events�

School
RECOMMENDED SUPPORT PROGRAMS
Education programs help to inform residents — both those who ride
a bike and those who do not— about the r|ghts, respons|b|UUes, and
resources available for cyclists, Education programs can be ongo|ng,
in partnership with schools or the police department or they can
be one-time events in advance of bicycle infrastructure installation.
Encouragement programs are similar to education progrems, but focus
more on addressing individual barriers to bicycling and encouraging
people totry bicycle riding esamode oftransportation orrecreationally.
Enforcement tools involve efforts by the police department, and have
been demonstrated to be very effective in improving safety for road
users However, some programs can require a significant investment
of staff time from local police departments or city agencies. Evaluation
efforts can demonstrate the value of investing in bicycle infrastructure
and programming.
Table 51 summarizes the high -priority programming efforts
recommended for Downey, including relative cost key peoonne|.
timeline, and effectiveness. The section following Table 54provides more
details about the full portfolio of possible educat|on, encouregement,
enforcement and evaluation options. High -priority programming efforts

that are summarized in Table 51 are marked with an asterisk inthe full
menu ofeducation, encouragement, and evaluation programs.
EDUCATION PROGRAMS
Stoff/ ^
Provide city staff and enforcement staff with training on new bicycle
design treatments in right oYway.
Cit)lwide Bicycling Mops
Attractive maps with bicycle routes, both inprint and oncity websites.can
serve as an educational tool. These maps should highlight convenient
routes for bicycling in Downey and include Ups on safe walking and
bicycling practices. Maps should be distributed at public facilities
throughout the City, through the Downey Bicycle Coa||Uon, and at local
bicycle shops.
Web Presence
Via a website dedicated to bicycle projects in Downey, city staff can
provide overviews and updates on implementation of major projects
and their related goa|s, design features, schedule of approva|, design
and construction, impacts to neighborhood, etc. The Downey Bicycle
Plan project webs|te can be expended into a permanent repository
for bicycle |nformat|on, hosted within the Ciiy's web doma|n, similar
to the successfu| Los Angeles Department of Transportation Bicycle
Services mebsite (http://www.b|cyc|e|aurg) and L4DDT Bike B|oy (httpi/
|adctb|keb|ogxvordpresszom). In addition to maintaining a webs|te, city
staff can increase presence onTwitter, Facebook. |nstagram.H|ckcand
other social media platforms asaway ofcommunicating news, educating
residents, and soliciting feedback and public input about future projects,
Sc7fb PoLites to School (,13PTB
This category refers to a variety of ch||dren's programs aimed at
promoting walking and bicycling to school and improving traffic safety
around schools. The program takes a compnehensive^5 E^approach
with specific engineer|ng, educaUon, encouragement, enforcement
and evaluation. The programs involve partnerships among school
staff, parents, studeNs, city staff, school d|siUcts, neighbors, and law
enforcement. The National Center for Safe Routes to School has in-
depth programming information. Integrating educational messages into a
comprehensive SRTSprogram can beavery effective way tokick-start a
citywide program. Specific education tools include:
e Pedestrian skills training for 1st and 3rdgraders
m Bicycle skills training for 3rd and 5th graders
� Messaging to parents about safe driving, walking and bicycling
habits
@ Creating drop-off and pick-up procedures
*incorporating |nhannaUun about walking and bicycling into
classroom subjects such as math or science (e.g., calculate
average walking speeds ordistances)
* Assemblies or classroom sessions about safety
Toeri Bicycle EdUortiom
Teens benefit from different educational messages than adults or
children, Many teens also already take drivers' educaUon, health
educaUon, or other courses where bicycling curricula could be easily
integrated. The City should work with local teen -organizations orschools
to facilitate a participatory process whereby teens create educational
messages. Youth Participatory Action Research (YK4R) is an effective
way to assist youth to create v|sueb, v|deos, or campaigns for bicycle
and pedestrian safety among their peers. The California Department of
Public Health has guides onYR4Rand youth -led projects.

5 Adult Bic.Kle Safety Classes
City can host and promote bicycle safety classes
and look for opportunities to partner with local
bicycle advocacy groups for group bike rides, It is
often beneficial for agency staff to attend these c|asses, particularly
the bicycle safety classes as they cover elements of bicycle safety and
vehicle code compliance that are often unknown toormisunderstood by
transportation professionals and law enforcement officers. The League
of American Bicyclists' course on safe urban bicycling skills, for example,
could be offered in coordination with the Downey Bicycle Coalition, the
City ofDowney, and League ofAmerican Bicyclists.
Bicycle S�qlt7cge
Additional siOnage directed at bicyclists can help riders understand
how to use new bicycle infrastructure. For example, signs can instruct
bicyclists to look for the bicycle detector symbol and stop their bicycle
on it in order totrigger the bicycle detection the traffic signal. Each sign
typically costs $2OOplus installation, and should bedesigned sothat |t|e
understandable even |fthe bicyclist does not read, using primarily icons
and symbols rather than words.
BillboardslElectronic Message Boards
Billboards and electronic message boards promote safety in the
community, inform the public about bicycling safety programs, and
provide feedback on the prognam's effects. Messages can focus on
safety and/or explain new design treatments in the public right-of-
way, They can be changed regularly and the boards can be moved to
maximize their impact. Signs can also bedisplayed onbus shelters.
Public Service Annuunce/nents
Radio and television public service announcements (PSAs) can provide
accurate and current information tothe public. PSAeare valuable usthey
are versatile and can each a large audience on walking and bicycling
issues, educadon, and announcements. The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) has a PS4ava||ab|e online (h0p://www,
nhtsagov/parents/pavents-b|ke.hUn|), along with the Safe Kids Coalition
and California Office ofTraffic Safety. Downey can incorporate its own
logos and slogans into these PSAs.ordevelop new ones specific tothe
conditions in Downey. One challenge is that PS4scan be costly and
may not reach the intended audience. 4lower-cost alternative |stoair
P64sonly on public access channels; however, this low-cost approach
may not beaseffective as using public relations firm and purchasing
advertising time targeted toaspecific audience.
Videos
Videos can be shown before Council Meetings and uploaded to
YouTube0o promote bicycle projects and explain new design concepts
for Uowney'sstreets.
Flyers, Postcards, Broo4Uresand Pomplets
These print materials can be distributed to residents and businesses
along the major streets impacted by new bicycle infrastructure pnojects,
and made available at public bu||d|ngs, public meeUngs, and other
major activity centers. They can also be printed as an ongoing effort
to disseminate bicycle safety messaging, including topics such as how
to ride a bicycle safely in traUic, how traffic signals work for bicyclists
and the best way to be detected at signalized |ntemeoUony, bicyclists'
rights and responsibilities when sharing the road, and motorists' rights
and responsibilities when sharing the road. These materials should be
provided in multiple languages and can be distributed at locations with
high volumes of bicyclists and through the same outlets as citywide
bicycle maps. Examples are available through advocacy organizations,
the Federal Highway Administration (http://sehetyfhvva.doi.gov/ped_b|ke/
ped_b|ke_order).AAA (http�//www,aaafoundaUon»rg/products). and the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (http://www.nhtsagov/

...................................................................................................
Kids'Bicycling Guide
Printed material targeted at children can help young bicyclists learn the
rules of the bicycling at an early age. Typical topics covered include
riding on the sidewalk safely, trans|t|on|ng to riding on the street,
wearing e he|met, signaling turns, and selecting the right sized bicycle.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTGA) has many
options for printed and online material aimed at teaching kids to ride
bikes safely (www.nhtsa.gov/bicycles).
Partner -ship with Local Bieycle Shops
Local bicycle shops are often be happy to partner with cities for events
like bicycling training and bicycle repair classes, These are excellent
tools to increase community knowledge of bicycle maintenance issues
and street riding skills. Youth training classes can include a ^bu||d-a-
b|ke^ program. in which youth learn how to rebuild a used bicycle that
they may keep atthe end ofthe program. Such classes are most helpful
for beginner to intermediate bicyclists who would like to improve their
understanding of bicycle maintenance and street riding skills, Bicycle
shops are also a natural outlet for distributing walking and cycling
pamphlets, maps, and other informational materials to the community.
These stores are ideal locations to post notices about bicycle/pedestrian
meetings, safety vvorkshops, and events. Bicycle shops also offer
knowledgeable personnel and/or sponsorship for future cycling events
and workshops,
Safety Device
ytspecial events, the City ofDowney can provide community members
with safety equipment such as bicycle beUs, bike helmets, bike |igh1s,
andvva|k|ng/jogg|ng reflectors. These giveaways help draw attention to
safe cycling throughout the city.
ENCOURAGEMENT PROGRAMS
Bicycle and Pedestrian Advh--,mry Committee~
Establish standing Downey Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee
(BP4[)that meets regularly with City staff todiscuss walking and bicycling
issues, The role ofthe DPA[includes identifying key problems, crafting
public outreach campaigns, promoting bicycle and pedestrian programs,
and serving asaninterface between the City and community members/
advocacy organizations. BFACmembers may include:
� Local bicycle and pedestrian advocates, including members ofthe
Downey Bicycle Coalition
e Downey Unified School District students and staff
@ City Public Works Department staff
e City Community Development Department staff
e City Parks and Recreation Department staff

e Hospital and public health staff
Business Districts�
Establish aBike-Friendly Business District (BF8[)|nDowntown Downey.
Long Beach began the first 8FBD program in 2010. The program
encourages merchants and their customers toreplace cars with bicycles.
The City works with local business owners in certain retail d|stUcts,
such as Downtown Downey, tooffer incentives including discounts for
bicyclists, free bike valet, free bike tune-ups, bicycle parking, and special
stickers. This creates an incentive to travel by bicycle and benefits
merchants, who often see anincrease incustomers.

Open Streets
Support regional events such esC|oLAvaand explore
opportunities to host an open streets event, These
events are good opportunities not only toencourage
b|oyc||ng, but to distribute educational muter|o|s, and to engage with the
public about future bicycle facilities,
Bike to 141oxDoy/Month
City should continue to promote and participate in Bike to Work Day/
K;onth, a regional event sponsored by Metro during the month of May.
This is a good opportunity to give away safety equipment, raise the
visibility of cycling in the City, and partner with local community groups
and businesses tocreate abike advocacy community.
Bike Volet
Downey should work with the Downey Bicycle Coalition tosponsor bike
valet atcommunity events with high visibility |nthe City. This encourages
people toride abicycle toanevent they might have otherwise driven to,
without concern about finding secure parking for their bicycle.
Pop-up NeighborhoodEwent
During the design development phase ofbicycle infrastructure, Downey
can host a "pop-up" event with temporary in -street installations at the site
of approved improvements. These events allow community members
to try out, touch, and see the potential improvements in their future
location. The in -the field event helps residents understand the benefits of
sometimes unusual oruntraditional neighborhood greenvvaytreatments,
such astraffic d|verters.pavement markings and s|ynege.etc,
Akde8hureWeek
City should promote and participate in R|deshareVVeek, a regional event

safety skills to all participants.
Bike Trains
Establish Bicycle Trains to and from schools in Downey. Bicycle trains
are organized bicycling groups where adults "pick up" bicyclists along
a specific routes inschool at specific locations, This way, children are
supervised during their travel to school.
Biking or Walking Moscot
Bellevue, VV4 launched a walking mascot campaign at their elementary
school in conjunction with roadway improvements, The mascot, called
PedBee, is on school safety signs and makes personal appearances
at school safety days. Safety days include local staff from the Cdy's
Transportation and Police Departments, Children are taught bicycling,
vva|k|ng, and traffic safety bas|cs, such as crossing the street safe|y.
Children are also given traffic safety workbooks that provide guidance
with hands-on activities such ascoloring and safety procedure quizzes,

Individualized Marketing
Programs like SmarUrps, developed in Portland, Onagon, encourage
bicycling (and vva|k|nQ, carpooling and transit) through hand -delivered
information packets with personalized route selections and suggested
organized activities that get people out |ntheir neighborhoods orplaces
ofemployment to shop, wmrk, and discover how many trips they can
easily, conveniently, and safely make without using acar.
NadoncVNight CJut
The city can distribute bicycle and pedestrian safety education materials
and/or equipment at the neighborhood block parties during National
Night Out, typically held in the month of August.
Neighbothood Pace Vehicle
Residents can set the pace unstreets intheir neighborhood bydriving no
faster than the posted speed limit. Onstreets with only one lane |neach
direction, this will effectively force other motorists to drive slower. Many
communities distribute stickers that say "Neighborhood Pace Car Drive
the Speed Limit," which residents can place on their rear windshield.
ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS
BiCYcIE�To�ming for Officers / Bicycle Liaison Officr^
Law enforcement officers should receive training specifically focused
onbicycle and pedestrian safety and enforcement principles. Asacost-
saving measure. the City of Downey may collaborate with surrounding
jurisdictions and share resources as practical, Additionally, the Downey
Police Department should consider appointing a bicycle and pedestrian
liaison officer who is e single point ofcontact for all matters concerning
bicyclist and pedestrian safety,
IncreosedRnes

Police Bicycle Pottm/
A police patrol conducted by bicycle helps to bring awareness and
attention to the safety issues related to bicycling within Downey. It also
can improve the relationship between police officers and community
membeo, bicyc||sts, and pedestrians. Areas with high bicycling and
pedestrian activity should be considered first for police bicycle patrols,
Such asDowntown Downey.
Speed Enforce/nent/nSchool Zones
Strict enforcement ofspeed laws |nschool zones can improve the safety
for children bicycling and walking to school. 4 'zero tolerance' policy for
speeders |nschool zones, and anincrease |nfines for drivers who violate
the posted school zone speed limit, are both potential approaches.
Speed Trailers and Active Speed Monitors
Speed trailers and active speed monitors display the speed ofoncoming
vehicles. Speed trailers are portnb|e, whereas speed monitors are
installed atpermanent locations, Both devices help officers track motorist
speed, display current speed tomotorists, and create awareness ofthe
posted speed limit. Devices should be placed at known locations with
reported speeU|ng, and should be used in conjunction with random
ticketing operations.

commit toperiodically monitoring streets for speeding
vehicles.
7bttletaleLights,
To help law enforcement officers catch red-light runners safely and
more effechve|y, a "rat box" is wired into the backside of traffic signal
controller and allows enforcement officers stationed downstream to
identify, pursue, and cite red-light runners, Warning signs may beset up
along with the box to warn drivers about the fine for red-light violations.
Rat boxes are e low-cost initiative (approximately $1OOto install the box),
but dorequire police officers for enforcement,
Traffic ComplaintHbt8/xe
Downey residents can report non -emergency traffic violations to law
enforcement if there is an established traffic complaint hotline. Officers
can target problem areas more effectively with records of traffic
complaints, This also allows the community to engage efficiently with
officers.
Bicycle Traffic School/ Citation DA/ecskrn
With this progrem, bicyclists or motorists who are ticketed for unsafe
bicycling orunsafe driving around b|cyc||sts, respectively, attend a class
about safe and lawful behev|orvvhUer|d|ngab|cydeorshar|ngtheroad
as a motorist with bicyclists. The class is offered in lieu of paying a fine
or appearing in court. Bicycle traffic school is often accompanied by
media campaign informing road users ofthe program. Citations can be
focused on common mruniquely hazardous behaviors such as unsafe
passing of bicyclists by motorists or wrong way riding by bicyclists.
Wrong 14/dy Piding Signs
Signs can inform bicyclists they are riding |nthe wrong direction for each
side ofthe street. The California K8UTCD provides guidance on wrong
way signs that can be mounted on the back side of existing sign posts
on streets with bike lanes to maximize their visibility to bicyclists traveling
in the wrong direction. Local law enforcement should also provide
enforcement byeducating and/or citing cyclists who are riding in the
opposite direction oftraffic, asthis isacommon cause ufcollisions.
TrofficSafetY Grants
Several grant sources exist specifically for traffic safety related efforts.
Downey Police Department can pursue Office of Traffic Safety grants
for outreach campaigns tosupport the normal time budgeted for police
officer duties.
BicYcle Education and Pemistration(BE4P) Prograin
Coordinate with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and the
Sheriff's Youth Foundation to implement appropriate elements from their
existing Bicycle Education and Registration (BEAR) suite of programs.
Bridging the gap between the sheriff asmore than anenforcer, but anally
and resource to bicyclists is important for a safe commun|ty, Programs
include bicycle -related safety, education and enforcement programs
including:
* Adult/Teen education classes (The BEAR Essentials)
� Youth bicycle maintenance and safety +free bikes and helmets
(The Bear Cub Oass)
e Enforcement of the rules of the road
m Proactive bike theft stings using bait bikes, tracking devices and a
bike theft "tip line"
9 Regular dissemination of statistics to track issues over time

7onretedEnforcen7ent Efforts
Targeted enforcement efforts draw attention tospecific |ssues, such as
crosswalk No|aUons, speed|ng, or driving under the |nOuence, which
can endanger bicyclists and pedestrians. These efforts often include
both citations and educational materials that focus on safe and lawful
behavior for all road users. Enforcement can be targeted at areas such
as schoo|s, public facilities, and locations with demonstrated collision
history.
Skdew«z6k RidVnoP/ohKibon
Sidewalk riding can be dangerous for pedestrians, particularly in areas
of high activity such as Downtown Downey. In conjunction with on -street
bicycle improvements such asbicycle lanes and bicycle routes, consider
prohibiting sidewalk bicycle riding in high pedestrian ereas, including
s|gnage to inform bicycle riders that riding in the bike lane is safer for
Doto CollectiOr onclMonitoting°
Partner with Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition and sister chapter
Downey Bicycle Coalition to conduct annual bicycle and pedestrian
counts and an annual monitoring program that reviews and compares
these counts, Additionally, Downey can require that all traffic study
counts include bicycles and pedestrians 10estimate bicycling levels and
changes |nbicycling levels overtime.
Bike/kNdk4udits
Conduct bicycle and walking audits as part of outreach strategies for
new development projects or as a comprehensive 5RTS program. A
bike/walk audit leads stakeholders on a set course to discuss bicyclist/
pedestrian safety concerns and strategies toimprove safety.
Perfom7cmceMe#surenentcmdMetrics
Develop metrics to measure the impact of walking and bicycling on
public health, resident and merchant perceptions, environmental impact,
amount of cycling, and safety (note: K may not be possible to measure
the impact ofbicycling e|one). Some examples are provided below:
w Public Health — Partner with local schools to measure distance
cycled orcalories/weight lost during Bike Month (K4a})
m Resident and Merchant Perceptions — Survey questions such
as "how frequently doyou walk or bicycle around town?" "what
prevents you from walking and bicyc||ng?^ and "what mode of
travel do you use for short trips?" aim to understand attitudes
toward walking and b|oyc||nQ, and common concerns. These
surveys, which should beavailable |nEnglish and Spanish, can be
done citywide or as part of an SIRTS program for parents.
*Environmental Impact— Measure reductions in vehicle miles
traveled or vehicle emissions through surveys
m Amount of Cycling and Walking — Partner with Downey Bicycle
Coalition and require bicycle and pedestrian counts with traffic
studies aothat changes |nlevels ofcycling can bemeasured over
time,
w Safety — Review the number of bicycle/pedestrian-involved
collisions onaregular basis and develop collision rates asdata
on the number ofvehicles, bicyc||sts, and pedestrians is collected
over time.

PROJECT PRIORITIZATION AND
IMPLEMENTATION MATRIX
7eb|e51 sorts all bicycle facilities projects included in this
Bicycle Master Plan into Umeframes for implementation, provides a
planning -level cost estimate, and identifies potential funding sources
based on the feasibility and type of project. Projects that are identified
as part o|the Metro Call for Projects (V|nter2D15) have been included
in a grant application, submitted to Metro on January31. 2015,These
projects include the top -priority Class U bicycle lanes and associated
vvayhnd|ng s|gnage and bicycle parking. Phase |: Near -Term Projects
(2019) in Table 6-1 lists additional projects that are eligible for funding
under the California Active Transportation Program.
CONCEPT GRAPHICS AND CROSS -SECTIONS
In order to help visualize what the proposed bicycle facilities would
look like, this section includes representative examples of before and
after cross -sections, photo s|mu|aUons, and concept plans for several
illustrative projects. These graphics are also included in Project Sheets
developed for the 2015Metro Call for Projects, which can beviewed |n
Appendix B.
Figures Gi' 6-2. and 5-3 show three typical street cross -sections in
Downey, asthey exist today and osthey would exist after construction of
the proposed facilities.
Figures 6~4 and 6-5 show Downey Avenue in Downtown Downey
before implementation of any bicycle fec||0es, and a photo -simulation
after implementation of treatments including bicycle route markings,
vvayUnd|ngsigns, and bicycle racks.
Table 6-2 identifies milestones in the overall process of improving Figures 6-6 and 6-7 show Old River School Road as it currently exists,
bicycling in the City of Downey. These milestones are assigned to
specific responsible City entities, and are suggested along a near -term
and a photo -simulation after implementation of proposed road diet,
including bicycle lanes and weyDnd|ngsigns.
Figures 6-8 and 5-9 show concept plans for two sites in Downtown
Duwney. These graphics give a sense of how the facilities would
transition from bicycle lanes or bicycle routes through the intersection.
Figure 6-10 shows the concept plan for Old River School Road,
illustrating how the bicycle lanes and road diet would transition through
the intersection.

(TE). and Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CK4AC)) programs
are allocated tothe County and distributed accordingly.
STATE FUNDING SOURCES
ActiveTrmnspoi-totiow
The California Transportation Commission developed program
guidelines and project selection criteria for the first call for projects for
the statewide Active Transportation Program (AJP) in March 2014. The
Active Transportation Program consolidated and replaced the former

SCABCompc7ss Blueprint Progroui
The Southern California Association ofGovernments' Compass Blueprint
Program began identifying Active Transportation as a project funding
category |nits 2O13-2O14Call for Projects. This grant program isintended
for planning project that integrate transportation and land use planning.
www.compossb|uepr|nturg
The Measure R Expenditure Man devotes its funds to seven
transportation categories asfollows: 35%tonew rail and bus rapid transit
projects, 31/oto K4etro||nk projects, 296to Metro Rail system improvement
projects, 20% to carpool |anes. highways and other highway -related
improvements, S%torail operations, 2O1/o10bus operations, and 1G%for
local city sponsored improvements, Many jurisdictions use their local
Measure R funding for active transportation projects. www.metrooet/
projects/measurer/
Some agencies have implemented development fees that can then be
used to fund various types of infrastructure. For examp|e, a fee may
be adopted for each PM peak hour trip that is generated by e project.
This funding is combined with funds from other projects toestablish a
source of funds to construct the improvements that are on an adopted
project list. Based onthe list ofprojects o/other mechanisms, the traffic
mitigation program can be used to fund a variety ofprojects that serve
several travel modes.
T6// Pnod Pevenue (Los AngelesCounty)
The Los Angeles County Metro Board of Directors adopted a Toll Rood
Revenue Action Plan that targets 40 percent of revenues be invested
in active transportation projects within three miles ofthe 1410and 1-10
corridors. The policy will help ensure commun|Uea, stakeho|ders, and
all travelers along these corridors to benefit from projects that include
congestion reduction, improved safety and access, transportation
options, and air quality/environmental improvements.
Increasingly, innovative bicycle projects are being implemented with the
assistance and funding from private entities. One recent, high -profile
example is the sponsorship nfNew York [Ky's bicycle sharing program
byC0group.Additional examples oflocal projects include the provision
of shared bicycles at hoie|s, the construction of shower and changing
facilities in office bu||d|ngs, and the development of bicycle storage
rooms atnew residential development sites. These projects typically do
not occur inthe public rightof-way(with the exception ofCiUBike inNew
Ybrk, which utilizes on -street parking spaces in partnership with the City
for bike sharing k|oska)

Tour De Downey Summary
On Saturday, June 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. the Downey Bicycle Mater Plan Study Team participated in
the Tour De Downey event and kicked off the outreach efforts for the Plan. The Study Team staffed a
booth and collected information from over 100 stakeholders (including approximately SO surveys on the
first day it was available) on what they want to see considered in the City's Bicycle Master Plan.
Comments were collected in a variety of ways including a needs assessment survey, a board exercise
where participants placed dots on their top three bicycle facilities and parking preferences, and on an
aerial map. The aerial map allowed participants to identify and provide comments on specific areas
within the City that are challenging to get around and/or that provide good opportunities for a bicycle
network.

Community Workshop #2
On Thursday, August 28, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., the Downey Bicycle Mater Plan Study Team participated
in Community Workshop #2 at the Barbara J. Riley Community & Senior Center in Downey. The
community workshop was an opportunity for interested parties and key stakeholders to hear about the
draft Bicycle Master Plan, provide additional comments and feedback. The community workshop was
set-up in the recreation room with 22 people attendees including bicycle activists. The workshop was
composed in the following format:
• Open House Session - 6 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
• Presentation - 6:30 p.m.
• Public Feedback Exercise - 7:15 p.m.
Upon registering, attendees were provided a flyer for the next community workshop on Saturday,
September 6, as well as a comment card.
Miguel Nunez, Fehr & Peers opened the presentation by giving a project overview including the data and
community input used to develop the draft the Bicycle Master Plan. Miguel went into detail by
describing the type of data collected; different public outreach events made available to the public;
project website and social media; an online survey which all help to gather an analysis for the plan. He
indicated Phase 2 of the project calls for additional comments, feedback and suggestions from the
community which was made available to the public that night. Miguel also explained the next steps
needed for the project including the funding and implementation of the project and cost analysis.
Three stations were made available to the public. Project Overview, where attendees could get an
overall description of the project. Public Comment on Program Elements, where attendees had the
opportunity to vote for a bike facility, parking and wayfinding signs or offer any comments or ask
questions. Public Comment on Draft Plan, attendees had the opportunity to provide additional
comments on the proposed plan including areas that need more attention, challenges cyclists face in
certain areas or overall opinion about what can be done to offer a safer cycling community.
Questions/Comments brought up during presentation and discussion
• Are there routes available that can be shared with other programs in the city or community?
• Did you cross-reference the Plan with any of the neighboring cities in Downey?
• Is the data collected available online?
• Wayfinding signage should be cohesive with all city signage, creating a branding that people will
recognize instantly.
• Education should be a priority
o For bicycle users and motorists
o A certification for safe bicycling would be a good idea to motivate others to engage in
safe biking

overview on the status of the plan, study process and methodology, and review of the proposed
recommendations. The workshop also provided opportunities for public feedback, before, during and
following the presentation. Overall, the workshop fostered an environment that encouraged
engagement and community feedback. The team engaged in meaningful discussions with the project
team and encouraged participants to share the information with others. Participants were also

The online survey was a general needs assessment of bicycling in the city, asking respondents to
rate their comfort in cycling in Downey, frequency of cycling for specific purposes, and to
identify challenges and opportunities for cycling in the city. A few questions allowed open-
ended responses for identifying favorite or challenging streets and intersections for cycling. Fehr
& Peers staff analyzed the open ended questions by reading and documenting each response.
As common themes became apparent, key search terms were generated, and then quantified to
determine the frequency of high priority topics. From this initial review, tables were created
showing the frequency of each individual category.
Question 5 asked What are your favorite places or routes to bike ride in Downey? Why?
Reviewing all of the survey responses, staff identified 34 individual categories of favorite places
or reasons for biking in Downey. Responses ranged from general concepts like "river path" to
specific roads or destinations. Some destinations could be grouped together ("Downtown"). The
top ten most common responses to this question were:
River Bike Paths

Many respondents identify two bike paths, the Rio Hondo and San Gabriel river paths, as their
preferred place to ride. Respondents often noted some variation on the theme of "side streets,"
identifying their local neighborhood roads as the preferred riding environment on the quieter
local streets, relative to higher -volume and higher -capacity streets. Many of the other 29
individual categories were specific neighborhood streets respondents preferred, such as Tweedy
Lane.
Question 6 asked What are some of the more challenging streets or intersections to bike
on? Why?
The same review strategy for this question resulted in 30 individual categories which reflected a
theme of major boulevards and heavy, high-speed traffic as challenges facing bicyclists. The 10
most frequent responses are shown below.
Firestone Blvd

Although there were fewer unique concepts than the previous question, the number of
individual categories respondents identified were nearly double, suggesting people had more to
say about the challenges. Many responses included specific streets paired with concerns about
traffic conditions, motorist behavior, or lack of space for bike lanes. Of particular note were the
responses which identified the preference to ride on the sidewalk (presumably for safety) and
the challenges posed by narrow or obstructed sidewalks.
Question 7 asked If you were "Bicycling Czar" for a day, what would you do to make
biking in Downey safer and easier? (You can name a specific location or project, city-wide
improvements, or an activity or policy).
Below are the top 10 most frequent responses, although individual categories were only 14
total. The two clear themes in responses to this question were to add bike lanes and/or off-
street bike paths. Respondents tended to generalize about adding bike lanes and paths to major
streets, rather than identifying specific routes.
Many responses regarding education or enforcement focused on motorist knowledge of laws
regarding bicycling and the vehicle code. Many suggested adding bicycle awareness signage
along roads and routes for motorists, which also relates to the education and enforcement
sentiment. Some respondents called for more bicycling events, such as the Tour de Downey and
CicLAvia (open -streets events). Others asked for reduction in speed limits or other strategies to
slow cars down and make cycling more comfortable.

7/9/2014 10:16 AM
51 1 enjoy riding down Lakewood Blvd. Day or Night. During the day, though there isa lot of traffic, the lane iswide, allowing for
7/9/2014 10:12 AM
ample room between carsand I. At night, the Eights are bright, and make riding veryfun. Not to mention, the asphalt isextremely
smooth. I usually go out of my way to go down Lakewood, I absolutely love it. I also enjoy riding down Downey Ave., though it's
not aswide, it'sslowenough that I can keep up with the cars, and I enjoy seeing people walkand traverse through town. Podo's!
Can't missPorto's.
52 The parkbecause it feelssafest at the moment. I also like to ride along the riversbutdon't feel as safe sometimes because its
7/9/2014 9:23 AM
desolate and dirty.
53 Don't really like riding in Downey that much for safety reasons
7/9/2014 9:06 AM
54 Old River School, Galletin, residential streets Quieter, lesstraffic, easier to keep an eye on cars and pedestrians
7/9/2014 8:44 AM
55 Florence, Firestone blvd, Downey landings, parks, discovery park, Jim,
7/8/2014 9:10 PM
56 Rives Ave, Along the River (710), wilderness park because they're relatively quiet and cars are rarely on them
7/8/2014 9:02 PM
57 Using the bike oath by the river because it is much safer than riding in the streetswith vehicles. Many drivers do not care to drive
7/8/2014 9:01 PM
by bicyclists and get too close.
58 River beds are my favorite place to ride in Downey, I feel traffic safe due the assigned bike lanes. Downey needs bike lanes on
7/8/2014 6:55 PM
Major streets. This will make Downey a bike friendly city.
59 the parks and downey landing. because they r nice areas to be and hangout at also the area of downey and firestone is a nice
7/8/2014 6:48 PM
place to relax at.

7/8/2014 5:17 PM
62 I like riding my bike from my house on Imperial hwy, to Furman Park, because I feel that afteryou cross Firestone, the traffic isn't
7/8/2014 3:50 PM
as bad on Rives.
63 Wilderness park because there isno traffic
7/8/2014 3:14 PM
64 I live close to the Rio Hondo river bike path and use that to bike long distances on the path or to other cities. But my dad has been
7/8/2014 2:46 PM
hit on his bike riding from hishouse to the path, and so I don't use the path as much because of the lackof bike lanesand driver
awareness of how to share the road. I like using the path to Long Beach, but we have to drive all the way to Wilderness Park
because I don't feel safe riding on Firestone.

I use the Rio Hondo bike path located by the Island. It'sa direct route to go long distance without worrying about cars.

Rio Hondo/LA River, Rives Avenue, Stewart & Gray Rd. All have no or lower than average motor traffic.

7/8/2014 9:01 PM

59 Firestone, imperial, paramount and Florence. These streets always have heavy traffic and not having a bike lane for cyclist makes
7/8/2014 6:55 PM
it unsafe and difficult for cyclist to travel with ease.

62 Imperial Hwy. Too busy and lots of areas without sidewalks or frontage areas.
7/8/2014 5:17 PM
63 Imperial Hwy. Firestone Blvd and Florence Ave. for me are death traps. I've seen people bike on Imperial and I get so scared for
7/8/2014 3:50 PM
them, they are brave! The drivers unfortunately swerve around them so it makes it unsafe for both. If Imperial, Firestone and
Florence had a designated bike lane, I may consider riding on it. For now you'll find me riding on those ddewalksfor my own
safety.
64 Both the smaller streets and the larger streets because of different reasons. l thinkthey are currently equally as dangerous,

The only challenge I find when bicycling isthat I don't feel comfortable cycling on the street because there is no room between
7/7/2014 10:54 PM

All main streets in Downey. The speed limit istoo high and there is little to no space prvided for bicyclist to feel comfortable

Paramount Blvd at the On/Off ramp forthe 1-5. The rapid pace of the carsmake it rather dangerous to go down that stretch.
6/18/2014 12:13 AM
Firestone and Lakewood intersection is quite difficult to bike through due to the heavy traffic by both automobiles and
pedestrians.
The main avenues and boulevardsthat connect to smaller streets are always challenging. Paramount, Florence and Lakewood
6/17/2014 10:44 PM
are not bike friendly. It is difficult to cross from one side of the street to another before going to the next traffic light (and they're
usually far apart). If the city decides to put more traffic lights to solve that problem, it should highly consider synchronizing traffic
lights to avoid additional traffic.

Q7 If you were "Bicycling Czar" for a day,
what would you do to make biking in
Downey safer and easier? (You can name
a specific location or project, city-wide
improvements, or an activity or policy.)
Answere&162 Skippe&69
Add more street trees everywhere
7/26/2014 10:11 PM

7/25/2014 9:23 PM
Bike lanes on Lakewood Blvd and Firestone Blvd. Map of all and safe routes to Downey Recreation Locations. Well paved streets
7/22/2014 11:00 AM
and paths.Secure Bike parking stations in viewable locations.
Wider streetswith a bike lane
7/21/2014 9:27 PM
Design an aggressive "Share the road" campaign, and would have signs prominently displayed throughout the city reminding
7/20/2014 1:57 PM
driversthat bicyclists have aright to use the roads. I would also educate the police department on howto enforce consistently
lawsthat protect bicyclists.
more bike racks with better lighting.
7/19/2014 4:57 PM
Bicyclistsdo not obey the traffic lawsand cut in and out of traffic, cross against a red light,
7/18/2014 10:21 PM
Increase police presence and monitoring ofgangsand criminal activity along the "river' path in the eveningsinights.
7/18/2014 8:23 PM
How about a long bike strip path that connects Downeys best attractions like Mail, Parks, Downtown, etc gonna take more than a
7/18/2014 12:30 PM
day, but I feel we will get there.
Well advertised bike lanes, easily seen bike lanes by motorists.
7/18/2014 12:10 PM
A truly MARKED BICYCLE LANE on most major streets as thiswould encourage more people to come out and ride and hopefully
7/15/2014 3:43 PM

bike lanes
7/15/2014 11:02 AM
Have actual bike paths off the street
7/15/2014 10:58 AM
I would like to ride for exercise on bike paths where cars are not present
7/15/2014 10:52 AM
Educate both drives and cyclists on the laws of the streets
7/15/2014 10:38 AM
Bicyclists should be enforced to ride with the flow of traffic and obey all cyclist rules. Distance between cars and bikes should be
7/15/2014 10:31 AM
enforced.

7/10/2014 11:27 AM
at all schoolsfor any student that ridestheir bicycle to and from school and mandatory parent attendance
Downey Bicycling Needs Assessment Survey
38 [would do something similarto Long Beach or Los Angeles that hasstreetsthat they have allocated a lane specifically for
7/10/2014 7:27 AM
bicycle traffic. More bicycle lockareasto encourage use. More signsthat encourage motorststo share the road. Educating
bicyclist to not ride on sidewalks.
39 1 would add bike lanesor pathsto major streetesuch as Firestone, Lakewood, Florence, Brookshire, Woodruff, and Pangbom
7/9/2014 11:56 PM
40 1 Don't want to be a bike Czar. Just make bike lines and watch unsafe drivers.
7/9/2014 9:54 PM
41 Bicycle lanes along Lakewood Blvd. Preferably in the style of Downtown Long Beach (example: http://goo.gi/maps/YBVmO).
7/9/2014 5:35 PM
Somewhat related, I would also improve Lakewood Blvd north of Florence Ave. This is a rapidly expanding/gentrifying area (new
luxury townhomesjust got built at Gallatin road) and the street looks really beat up. No new street lights, no landscaping, nothing
that Lakewood Blvd south of Florence got.
42 Lanes. Signs. Street way finder.
7/9/2014 4:21 PM
43 1 would do what Whittieblambeft rd) did by putting a bike lane alongside the train tracks
7/9/2014 10:33 AM
44 None
7/912014 10:16 AM
45 Bike lanes on... - Lakewood Blvd. - Bellflower- Woodruff - maaaybeee Stewart & Gray - lesser chance on Imperial (too fast and
7/9/2014 10:12 AM
narrow) - For sure on Columbia Way (repave it first) - Rives definitely - Brookshire definitely - Downey Ave definitely (at least before
and after the downtown area, too narrow) - Old River is a MUST, it's so wide I'd also make a clear bike path end to end on Cecilia.
It's the one neighborhood St that goes end to end, and can connect the bike trails on the riverbeds. I would put more bike -friendly
banners and signs, educate drivers through billboards and signs (Downey is your bike lane), send out letters to all homes about
bicycle laws, offer educational classesfor all cyclists, led by riders in the city that know their stuff (like mel), biking infrastructure
(parking), get the Downey Bike Coalition recognized more, have them offer more community rides, geared for kidsand adults.
46 Beautify and make safe the dry/empty and trashy land along the riversto make that path more appealing and safe for bike riders.
7/9/2014 9:23 AM
Use the land along the rivers in the Downey boundaresto create parks and install facilities for bikers and familiesto stop and rest
along the way.
47 Why cant Downey have a nice bike/walk path like most city's
7/9/2014 9:06 AM
48 Definitely install bike laneson the busier streets.

52 Make a raised bike line to keep cyclistsaway from carswould be awesome. Just my imagination though...
7/8/2014 9:01 PM
53 1 would add bike laneson major streets. I would start with bike lanes in downtown Downey, Firestone and Downey Ave. to show the
7/812014 6:55 PM
community that our city wants to be bike friendly it will also promote / encourage our residentsto ride their bike around town.
54 have volunteerson high traffic areaswhere motorist don't stop for pal or bicyclist. and give them fix for it.
7/8/2014 6:48 PM
55 Resurface streets, add bicycle lanes
7/8/2014 6:16 PM
56 Have everyone participate in an all -bike day to encourage as many people to ride their hilkeethat day and to "stay local" if
7/8/2014 5:17 PM
possible by working from home.
57 If I were a Bicycling Czar, I would do what L.A. doesevery few timesa year. Have a Ciclovia. Close partsof major streets
7/8/2014 3:50 PM
designate it for people and bikesonly, have everyone enjoy Downey's beauty. I would also paint bike laneson Imperial, Firestone
and Florence and continue to have weekly bike ridesthat are lessthan 40 milesso more familiescan participate.
58 We need bike lanes
7/8/2014 2 42 PM
59 Bike laneson all major streets.
7/8/2014 1:58 PM
60 Bike lanes or bike -designated pathson major streets like Firestone, Imperial, Florence, Paramount
7/8/2014 12:37 PM
61 bike lines. And a biking awareness campaign
7/8/2014 12:37 PM
62 Install greener parks with bike/walling pathsand a destination like huge lake to stop and rest and resume biking
7/8/2014 12:31 PM
63 Implement bike laneson majorstreets.
7/8/2014 12:21 PM
64 1 would have dedicated bike paths that connected Treasure Island, Dennis the Menace, Furman, Wilderness and Apollo parks. 1
7/8/2014 11:42 AM
would have bike laneson Paramount Blvd., Florence Av., Firestone Blvd and DowneyAv.
65 Adding bike lanesand putting up Bike awareness Singsu
7/8/2014 11:29 AM

7/8/2014 11:11 AM
69 Adding addition bike lanesthrough all ourcitiesmajor sites. Town town Downey, landing, nearparks, and towardsthe transit.
7/8/2014 10:43 AM

7/8/2014 10:41 AM
71 Make bike lanesalong with having more bike family fun days.
7/812014 10:20 AM
72 Bike lane and share the road signs.
7/812014 10:12 AM
73 Crime isthe biggest deterrent. I would have riding groupsthat could bike safely together. I would also allow bicyclistson sidewalks

given they respect pedestrians aswell.
74 Enforce the rulesof the road for motorist and bicyclist.
7/8/2014 10:07 AM

Downey Bicycling Needs Assessment Survey
Ensure that cyclistshave biNngtights(front and rear) to make themselvesmore visible to motorists, aswell as helmets (they're a
7/8/2014 9:29 AM
MUST). Designated bike lanes/routesthat would not inhibit flow of traffic on major streets.
I would probably fix the problem I have in#6 by malting the sidewalks much wider so as to accommodate both cyclists and
7/7/2014 10:54 PM
pedestrians. Malting a bike lane would mean construction and that's incredibly annoying being a driver myself aswell. I would
also put sidewalks on streetsthat don't have sidewalks and I would put ramps on all curb corners (because that's also a nuance
when cycling).
Lowerspeed limits by 10 mph on larger streets and by 5 mph on residential streets
7/7/2014 10:43 PM
Desiganted bike lanes, reduce the speed limit on main streets, Betterthe streetlights throughout the city.
7/7/2014 10:26 PM
Dedicated bike lanesfoward all public parks
7/7/2014 10:20 PM
Great a green painted bike path that safely runs east west from son gabriei rive all the way to the LA river, connecting the two in a

The more bike lanes and bike racks are available the more we will see people use them.
7/6/2014 11:34 AM
I don't {mow ... _ ... _.. .. _ ...
7/6/2014 10:59 AM
I would add some fun routes within the city and post them in various points throughout.
7/6/2014 10:17 AM
I would get bike lanesall Firestone and Florence. And make more events and rldesforthe community.
7/6/2014 10:02 AM
A grid system of designated bikewayswith 3 to 4 east/west and the same north/scuth including dedicated routesbetween the Rio
7/6/2014 8:37 AM
Hondo and San Gabriel river paths. We also obviously need racksthroughout town to lock bikesto preferably with nearby benches
to rest.
I would love Firestone to be more bike friendly. You have great destinations there. Also, other streets I would love bike friendly
7/3/2014 10:02 PM
policies is Stewart and Grey & Imperial. To make this happen I would have better lightning and bike lanes on these streets.
"Shares' bike lane -similar to what the city of Long Beach implemented on 2nd Street and other locations in that city.
7/3/2014 11 :49 AM
I will give thee bike lanes so one can get around better & a nice bike path for your pure enjoyment without the worries of traffic
7/2/2014 8:08 PM
which can be shared with runners, roller bladders, & skaters alike just like most beach cities& many inland citiesthat embrace a
healthy & outdoor community.
Make sure all crosswalk buttons, signals and detection are set to include bicyclists
-
7/2/2014 6:38 PM
bike lanes as much as possible.
7/2/2014 5:04 PM

7/2/2014 4:11_.PM _.
Would educate both driversand bicyclistson traffic laws. People on bicycles are not exempt from stopping at stop signs
7/2/2014 3:24PM
I would make at least 2 major streetsin both directions (Firestone & Florence or Imperial, and Lakewood and Paramount) have a
7/2/2014 3:09 PM
bicycle lane that is painted green (as in helping ourenvironment) so that cyclistsof all types can get to and from the main
attractions like the mall, downtown, parks, etc. I would also put up a few poster boards or signs that say watch for cyclists. Share
the road. Pass with care. 3 it is the law. Etc.
Definitely bike laneswill make it safer. Also, making routesforthose that like to use their bicycles.
7/2/2014 2:34 PM
Have motorist slowdown and a seperate lane.
7/2/2014 12:28 PM
I would create a bicycle lane. Notjust intended forexercise but for transportation purposes. I would want to get to and from local
7/2/2014 11:50 AM
storesand restaurants everyday. I would also create a parking location for bikeswatched by security or attendant. (you asked haha)
f
Teach driversabout bikersrightstbiking laws.
7/2/2014 11:19 AM
In orderto make biking safer and easier in Downey, I would definitely add bike lanesand possibly even pathsthat are designated
6/29/2014 3:25 PM
for only bikers. Also include sharrowsand signage to inform driversabout bikers.
Put more bike racks at buisness and cameras on them for safty. I've had 2 bikes stolen we need to make it harderto steel them.
6/28/2014 2:21 PM
Bike lanelpath that connects riverbeds (Cecilia, all the way through). Lakewood Blvd., Gallatin, Brookshire, Stewart & Grey, Old
6/26/2014 4:11 PM
River, would all have a bike path or lane. Firestone and Florence are too fast too slow down and it might not be worth it. But the
other streets seem doable in my opinion.
Bike lanes on all major streeets, Dedicated bike paths to the Train stations. More bike lockers or monitored bike racks at the metro
6/25/2014 11:03 AM
transit stations.
I would like to have more daysto ride bikes

Place a green bike lane separated from traffic, not shared along Florence (there a lot of cyclist travelling already but traffic isfast
6/21/2014 9:44 AM
moving and dangerous) and on Firestone.) connecting nearby cities. I would connect all the parks with green bike lanesthat are
not shared. I would also create a green bike path with nature where families can explore being outdoors more often. Also, Downey
is extremely plane, it would be nice to make hills in parks or nature areas,
long term -devlop master plan to have bike lanes on all major streets. Short term provide signs about shaaring the road and
6/20/2014 11:05 PM
having a map that support biking through Downey.
Fix potholes - Can't stress enough! Share the road signs as reminders. Police on bikes. Cycling team at high schools.

Downey Bicycling Needs Assessment Survey
I would add bike lanes on Telegraph. There are few East/West cycling options.
6/19/2014 6:02 PM
I would designate 5th street and maybe even Stewart & Gray asthe official main bike lanesgoing East to West and West to East
6/19/2014 3:34 PM
because there islesstraffic on these streetsand they are located between Firestone, Florence and Imperial Hwy. I would then add
bike lanes running North and South on all major intersections (Old River School Road, Paramount, Brookshire, Lakewood,
Woodruff) covering the city of Downey.
I am new to the area but everywhere I could I would put protected lanes. With curbs and parking spacesto separate the bikes and
6/18/2014 6:41 PM
peds. Where we can't have those then just regular bike lanes. Some sort of separation.
Pubic awareness of inattentive drivers and the impact it can/does have on cyclists and pedestrians. Examining most common
6/18/2014 4:04 PM
cycling routes and then reducing speeds, insuring bike lanes are wide, possible sparrows, signage advising of the 3 feet law and
''.....
strict enforcement and stiff penalties for violators.
More free bilking events, implementation of bike lanes, and more road maintenance to avoid bicycle flats
6/18/2014 11:23 AM
The best way would be to put some designated bike lanes on major streets that are frequented by people to get to either
6/18/2014 12:13 AM
Stonewood Mall, or the Downey Landing shopping centers.
I would raise awareness to drivers, transients and residents by using all types of media available (online: facebook, city website,
6/17/2014 10:44 PM
instagram, newspapers: local and nearby cities and hang banners all over the main avenues and boulevards).
Downey bike day in the style of Ciclavia to promote bicycling as lifestyle.
6/17/2014 10:01 PM
repave firestone and create bike lanes on florence, firestone, and imperial. Also on paramount and lakewood. Add share the road
6/17/2014 8:55 PM
signs on major streets.
The bridge on firestone blvd over the San Gabriel trail, heading south, is really narrow, cars are going very fast and the south side
6/17/2014 8:46 PM
of the bridge is in very bad shape, PLEASE FIX IT! Also, there seem to be more and more homeless ppl under the bridges, this is
discouraging for families and females
I would make the land next to railroad tracks bike route, seen this in most cities and very successful. Keep it lit properly for bikes
6/17/2014 8:21 PM
and pedestrians. But have a designated bike lane there too. Major roads in Downey, instead of island style medians use the space
for bike lanes instead.
''..
Have police set up bicycle checkpoints, like salubrity checkpoints. and stop cyclist brealdng the law and cite and or educate
6/17/2014 8:02 PM
them on correct way to ride on the streets.

6/17/2014 3:32 PM
I think Downey Ave in the downtown area (1 lane of traffic each way) would benefit greatly from a treatment similar to what is seen
6/17/2014 2:27 PM
on 2nd street in Long Beach. Lotsof bike panong, and a green lane/sharrowthrough a slow traffic area, to get people out of their
carsand on their bikesto explore the growing retail/eatenesfound there. Given that most homesare within 1.5 milesof the City
'...
Center, there should be no reason for people to drive that distance. It would be great to see some innovative planning, and for
'...
Downey to take the lead as an early adopterof Cycletracks in LA County. I could see them be great additionsto major corridors

such as Lakewood, much like the City of Rosemead has done. Also, it would be great to see the City adopt a Safe Routesto

Old River School Road -Road Diet
Road Diet & Class II Bike Lanes
Background
Old River School Road is a north -south street
in the western area of the City of Downey. This
proposed project would modify the current
configuration of two travel lanes in each direction
to a new configuration of one travel lane in each
direction, bike lanes in each direction, and a center
turning lane. No changes would occur to parking
along the corridor,- parking will remain where it
currently exists. The reconfigured roadway will
improve safety and facilitate access to residential
driveways and neighborhood streets. The bike
lanes would provide north -south connectivity
across the west side of the city, serving schools,
recreational facilities, residential communities,
and commercial areas. Segments that already
provide a median turn -lane will include a buffered
bike lane. Additionally, the facility is located close
to the Rio Hondo Bike Path, a key regional facility.
Benefits
• Provides a high -quality bicycle facility along
the western side of the City of Downey
• Enhances access to schools, recreational
facilities, and commercial areas
• Improves safety through "road makeover" re-
configuration of street
Challenges
• Re -configuration will require removal of travel
lanes; however, traffic counts indicate volumes
are low enough to serve traffic with minimal
impacts to travel time or travel speed
• Addition of bike lanes will require intersection
upgrades such as bicycle detection and
markings
Project Extent
The project extends 2.4 miles from Florence Ave to Imperial
Highway.

Bike Lane Feasibility
The proposed road diet along Old River School Road
would remove one travel lane in each direction,
converting what is presently a four -lane road into a
two-lane road with a center turn lane and bicycle lanes
in either direction. Road diet reconfigurations are
appropriate for roads with less than 20,000 Average
Daily Traffic (ADT). Old River School Road has a 24-
hour traffic volume count of just under 17,000.1
The installation of a center turn lane preserves the
operational capacity of the road, while improving
I
safety by reducing pedestrian, rear -end, and side-
swipe crashes. In addition, it would improve speed
limit compliance and decrease crash severity.2
The width of Old River School Road is 60`. Removing
one travel lane in each direction allows for a 10' center
turn lane and two 6' bike lanes, one in each direction.
No adjustments to the existing parking configuration
would be needed.
In addition to re -striping, the road diet would include
the installation of bicycle wayfinding signage along
the corridor, high -visibility paint at conflict points, and
bicycle detection at intersections.

Downtown Downey Bicy ii�
CIE: ill
Class II & Class III Bike Facilities
Background
The Downtown Downey Bike Access project
incorporates three key facilities to improve bicycle
connections to Downtown Downey. First, a bike
route with signs and sharrows along 5th Street
provides an east -west connection across the city
on a low -volume street.
Second, a "road make -over" on Brookshire Avenue
would modify the current configuration from two
travel lanes in each direction to one travel lane
in each direction, one bike lane in each direction,
and a center turning lane. No changes to parking
would occur, where it currently exists, parking
would remain intact. The Brookshire Avenue bike
lanes would provide a north -south connection
across the city, connecting residential areas to key
destinations in Downtown Downey.
Finally, a "road make -over" on Downey Avenue
would expand access to Downtown Downey,
increase the number of additional destinations
served by bicycle facilities, and provide an
alternative north -south route across the city.
The "road make -over" would modify the current
configuration of two travel lanes in each direction
to one travel lane in each direction, one bike lane
in each direction, and a center turning lane. No
changes to parking along the corridorwould occur.
Additionally, the bike lanes would transition to a
bike route with signs and sharrows in Downtown
Downey between 5th Street and Firestone Blvd,
because this portion of the corridor has already
undergone significant traffic calming and
reconfiguration with diagonal parking, pedestrian
bulb -outs, and travel lane removal. The speeds
and volumes along this segment of Downey
Avenue are low enough to support a bike route
instead of bike lanes.
Project Extent
The project includes three key facilities: Class // bike lanes on
Downey Avenue and Brookshire Avenue, and a Class /// bike route
on 5th Street
Benefits
• Provides high -quality bicycle facilities through
downtown Downey, the heart of the city,
including commercial, civic, community, and
residential uses
® Improves east -west access across the city, and
north -south access across the city
® Enhances access to additional destinations

Bike Lane Feasibility
The proposed bicycle lane facilities would require
a road diet along Brookshire Ave and on Downey
Ave north of 5th Street and south of Firestone Blvd.
The road diet would remove one travel lane in each
direction, converting what is presently a four -lane road
into a two-lane road with a center turn lane. Road diet
reconfigurations are appropriate for roads with less
than 20,000 vehicles over a 24-hour period. Brookshire
Ave has a 24-hour count of just underjust over 15,000,
and Downey Ave has a 24-hour count of just over
16,000.1
The installation of a center turn lane preserves the
operational capacity of the road, while improving
safety by reducing pedestrian, rear -end, and side-
swipe crashes. In addition, it would improve speed
limit compliance and decrease crash severity.2
The width of Downey Ave and Brookshire Ave is 56'.
Removing one travel lane in each direction allows for
a 10' center turn lane and two 5' bike lanes, one in
each direction. No adjustments to the existing parking
configuration would be needed.
In addition to re -striping, the road diet would include
the installation of bicycle wayfinding signage along
the corridor, high -visibility paint at conflict points, and
signal modifications to allow a bicyclists to call for a
signal cycle at the intersection.
The proposed bicycle route facilities on 5th Street and
Downey Ave between Sth Street and Firestone Blvd
would not require the removal of any travel lanes,
because these roads currently only have one land in
each direction. The current width of 5th Street is 38',
and the current width of Downey Ave between 5th
Street and Firestone Blvd is 22'. A bike route would
include the installation of sharrows and signage along
the shared roadway.

Lakewood Blvd Bike Lane Feasibility
Class II Protected Bike Lanes
Background
Lakewood Blvd is a major north -south arterial that
runs through the center of the City of Downey.
The current configuration along the corridor
is primarily three travel lanes in each direction
with a center raised median. There is no on -
street parking along the Lakewood Blvd corridor.
Lakewood Blvd is a major regional connector, with
junctions at the 1-5 and 1-105 freeways, continuing
north into the City of Pico Rivera and south into
the Cities of Bellflower and Paramount. Lakewood
Blvd also provides access to the Metro Green Line
Lakewood Station.
One of the most cost-effective approaches to
accommodate a bicycle facility along Lakewood
Blvd is to remove one travel lane in each direction.
Lakewood Blvd could become a very high quality
regional bicycle facility, with protected bike lanes
in both directions through the City of Downey. The
protected bike lanes would provide connections
to regional transit, major commercial areas like
Downtown Downey, Downey Landing, and the
Stonewood Mail, and numerous schools and
parks.
Provides regional bike access to adjacent cities
and across the Gateway Cities region
Provides high quality north -south connection
across the City of Downey
Provides bicycle connection to the Metro
Green Line Lakewood Station
Enhances access to additional destinations
such as schools, parks, and commercial areas
Prollect Extent
The project would extend 4.5 miles across the City of Downey.

® Installation of protected bicycle lanes will likely
require removal of travel lanes
® Addition of bike lanes will require intersection

Bike Lane Feasibility
Based on this approach, the proposed bicycle facility
along Lakewood Blvd would require the removal of
one travel lane in each direction, converting what is
presently a six -lane road with a raised landscaped
median into a four -lane road with protected bicycle
lanes, also known as cycle tracks, on either side.
The width of Lakewood Blvd is 84'. Removing one
travel lane in each direction allows for two 11' travel
lanes in either direction, one 8' bicycle lane in either
direction, and a 3' buffer between the vehicle travel
lanes and the bicycle lanes. Parking is presently not
permitted on Lakewood Blvd and this would remain
consistent under this scenario.
In addition to re -striping, the cycle track could include
the installation of physical barriers such as planters
or bollards in the 3' buffer between the vehicle travel
lanes and the bicycle lanes, as well as the installation
of bicycle wayfinding signage along the corridor,
high -visibility paint at conflict points, and signal
modifications to allow a bicyclists to call for a signal
cycle at the intersection.

This report presents the state of the art in
bicycle wayfinding. It focuses on the two
hemispheres of wayfinding practice: (1)
the logic governing where signs are placed
and (2) the design of the signs themselves
and their messaging. The report draws
from successfully implemented bicycle,
pedestrian, transit, and airport wayfinding
programs as well as from the literature on
wayfinding and information design. It syn-
thesizes these findings and tailors them to
the specific needs and objectives of bicycle
wayfinding.
This report includes two primary divisions,
Section 1: Wayfinding System Design, and
Section 2: Wayfinding Signage Design.
Section I focuses on wayfinding at the
network level. It opens with a brief expla-
nation of wayfinding—what it is, why it's
beneficial, and the basics of how it works.
Next, we apply the principles of wayfinding
to bicycle infrastructure. We explain the
M
purpose of a bicycle wayfinding system,
its intended use, and the four basic bicy-
cle wayfinding sign types. The following
discussion addresses what locations are in-
cluded —and not included —in the universe
of destinations shown on the wayfinding
signs. Finally, we consider future concerns
with integrating regional and local signage,
Section 2 focuses on sign design principles.
It centers on how to clearly convey mes-
sages to people riding bikes while incorpo-
rating a unique brand identity. We present
general recommendations for information
design, clarity, and aesthetics. Since signs
will be placed in a variety of contexts, we
next discuss mounting considerations. The
final section provides formatting specific
to each sign type. We close the report with
a recommended workflow for planning,
designing, and implementing bicycle way -
finding signage,

WHAT IS WAYFINDING?
Wayfinding in the purest for is a cognitive process. We use it to orient ourselves to our
surroundings and to navigate physical space, Wayfinding in this sense involves four stages:
Wayfinding is also a branch of environmental psychology. People constantly look to their
surroundings for clues to assist their navigation. Wayfinding as a science facilitates this
clue -collection by shaping the built environment. It uses consistent, clear visual cues
and signage to direct users to their destinations, Effective wayfinding systems create
well -structured pathways —with start, middle, and end points —that help travelers to:
1. Identify their location
2. Reinforce that they are traveling in the right direction
3. Navigate junctions and other decision -making points
4. Identify their destination upon arrival
Wayfinding communicates the trajectory of the individual path and its relationship to
the transportation network of which it is a part. Wayfinding also includes key referential
information, such as a traveler's intermediate position in the path, how far the traveler has
M
progressed, and the remaining distance
to the destination. Combining these two
types of information —the shape of the
network and the traveler's location within
it —empowers travelers with the informa-
tion they need to make decisions and guide
themselves to their destination.
By making it easier for persons to navigate
to their destinations, effective wayfinding
reduces confusion, cognitive load, and
stress; ultimately, it produces a more enjoy-
able travel experience. Indeed, the measure
of successful wayfinding is often in how
little people notice that they are actively
relying on signage to navigate.
PRINCIPLES I
Bicycle wayfinding systems have a rela-
tively simple purpose: highlighting bicycle
routes to enhance navigation. In doing so,
wayfinding can also improve the experi-
ence for people riding and may encourage
people to ride more frequently or begin
riding. Effective wayfinding highlights bike
routes in four ways:
M
I. Identifying the user's location in
relation to their intended destination
2. Signposting the turns individual bike
routes make
1 Clarifying the interactions between
intersecting routes in the bikeway
network
4o Positioning the network in the context
of the surrounding city and region
The following discussion explains how
bicycle wayfinding accomplishes these four
objectives.
DESTINATION -DRIVEN NAVIGATION
Bicycle wayfinding primarily guides users
through the destinations it displays. As
people riding bikes approach a given sign,
the sign presents a set of destinations that
they can access via designated bikeways.
These destinations serve intrinsic and in-
strumental functions.
In the intrinsic sense, a user may be at-
tempting to reach an actual destination
shown on a wayfinding sign. In this case,
the sign will guide the person directly to
their destination. However, destinations
also serve a broader, instrumental role.
They paint a general picture of the direc-
tion the bikeway travels, the key areas it
serves, and its eventual terminus. People
may not necessarily be traveling to a desti-
nation shown on a sign for the sign to still
provide useful orientation. For example, if
people know their destination is relatively
close to, or in the same direction, as a des-
tination shown on a wayfinding sign, they
can use the posted directions to approxi-
mate the path to their own destination.
Naming bikeways simplifies navigation. It provides a shorthand for an entire bikeway
corridor even if the corridor traverses multiple streets. For bikeways that follow only one
street, the simplest practice is to name the bikeway after the street. Corridors with any
turns often require a broader name. Sometimes these corridors evolve their own colloqui-
al names, such as The Wiggle, a San Francisco bike route that takes multiple jogs to avoid
hills. The City later adopted this name as the bikeway's official designation. Whenever
practical, preexisting vernacular should be adopted in this manner, Another approach is
to name bikeways based on key attributes like destination ("downtown route"), orientation
("Crosstown route"), or geographic features ("Coastal route"). Vancouver, BC provides the
following guidance for creating memorable bikeway names. In general, names should be:
A more complex numbering system could be developed to identify individual bike-
ways in the network. For example, the structure might mimic Interstate highways where
odd -numbered routes run north -south, even -numbered routes run east -west, and route
numbers increase from west to east and south to north, respectively. In this case, wayfin-
ding signage would display route numbers when referencing bikeways (see Figure 1 on
the next page). A drawback of this approach is that users must familiarize themselves with
the numbering system before they can fully utilize the signs. Since the system may not be
M
immediately intuitive, this approach at a
minimum creates an extra step to using the
signs and at worst presents a barrier to use.
Further, numbering is almost superfluous
when, in essence, the destinations them-
selves name the bikeways, convey general
direction, and articulate how individual
links in the bikeway network function to-
gether. Accordingly, best practice is to use
destinations or bikeway names to identify
bikeways on signage,
M Id z 1 IM2 V
There are four basic bicycle wayfinding
sign types: confirmation, decision, turn,
and off -bike route. Each type has a unique
purpose, location, and message (see Table
I on pages 7-8); however, all four work
interdependently. The first three sign types
move bike riders along the designated
bikeway network (see Figure 2 on page 9).
Im
The fourth sign type, shown in Figure 3
(page 10), directs people onto the bikeway
network from adjacent streets. Note that
signs shown in figures are based on stan-
dard designs from the Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The
figures are intended to convey sign con-
tent and messaging. The City of Downey
has been provided four design options for
wayfinding signs through the Bike Master
Plan effort. See Sign Design in Section 2
for additional sign content and formatting
considerations.
Some cities, like Los Angeles and Vancou-
ver, BC, use special street signs to denote
bicycle routes (see Figure 4). This idea
can be adapted for Downey, but should
align with street signage characteristics
for special areas like Downtown Downey
which may have different graphic identi-
ty standards for street signs, Alternately,
Downey could forgo the development of
specific street signs for bikeways, because
standalone bicycle wayfinding signs pres-
ent essentially the same message.
Wayfinding signs are placed in both direc-
tions of a street unless the street itself is
one-way or the bikeway only travels in one
direction. Typically, one mile of bikeway
will include four to five wayfinding signs in
each direction. Figure 5 (page 11) illus-
trates conceptual sign placement locations
and how the different sign types interact.

Destinations orient people to their sur-
roundings, and they also convey the geo-
graphic coverage of the bikeway network.
Accordingly, the destinations shown, and
not shown, on wayfinding signs are of cen-
tral importance. This subsection focuses
on the methodology of determining which
locations to include,
DETERMINING DESTINATIONS
Destinations should be immediately fa-
miliar to the majority of users. This maxi-
mizes their potential of being meaningful
landmarks with intrinsic and instrumental
navigational value (see the previous Des-
tination -Driven Navigation subsection for
further discussion). Indeed, not all desti-
nations carry equal weight. Under most
circumstances, showing directions to the
Lakewood Metro Green Line Station, for
example, will be more useful than showing
directions to a single bus stop. In a similar
vein, certain categories of destinations,
such as commercial districts, major transit
stations, or civic facilities, are more appro-
priate for signs than individual retail stores
or places of worship.
The first step in determining which des-
tinations to include is to establish a set of
destination categories, Only destinations
that fall into these categories will be shown
on signs. Each category should next be as-
signed to a hierarchical level based on local
significance. Major destinations like adja-
cent cities or regional transit connections
are positioned at the highest level in the
hierarchy. Destinations that are more local
in nature, such as schools and parks, are
concentrated at lower hierarchical levels,
In the context of bicycle wayfinding,
destination hierarchies often include three
strata: primary, secondary, and tertiary.
Table 2 (page 12) displays the three hierar-
chical levels and destinations that typically
fall within each.

' Since bikeways in this case tunction as destinations, only include bikeways that vv//,' be tarnihar even to
infrequent bicycle riders, such as the San tGabriel River Blike Path, the Rio Hondo Bike r"alh, or the LA river Patti.
Notes: Adopt standard nsming, fxunctualioi7, and abbreviation conventions when developing the destination list
and always adhere to these siandards. In areas with few naitural landrnarks, roads or- paths May act as surrogate
des bna I ?s.
As Table 2 shows, a destination's hierar-
chical level also determines how far away
signs are placed for the destination. High-
er -ranking destinations are signed from
greater distances; lower ranking desti-
nations are signed only in their vicinity.
As people travel along a bikeway, each
sign progressively discloses new destina-
tion information based on their location.
Passed destinations are removed, new
nearby destinations are added, and one or
two long-range destinations are included
for orientation (see Figure 6 on page 13).
Typically, no more than three destinations
are shown. If more than three destinations
can be signed at a potential location, one
destination from each hierarchical level
should be included to provide a balance
of destinations. Presenting information in
manageable quantities helps to avoid over-
loading the user,
Another way of thinking about hierarchi-
cal levels is in terms of granularity, Prima-
ry destinations are broad, large places, like
ajdacent cities, the Metro Green Line Sta-
tion, or Downtown Downey, that indicate
a bikeway's general direction or terminus.
Typically these long-range destinations
are signed over a significant portion of the
bikeway, if not its entirety. Secondary and
tertiary destinations are more fine-grained
in nature, such the Downey Public Library
or Downey Landing. These shorter -range
destinations are area -specific and are
only signed within a half -mile (tertiary),
mile (secondary) of their location. In the
densest settings, destinations may only be
signed for a matter of blocks, As the user
traverses the bikeway, he or she will en-
counter relatively few primary destinations
and a greater assortment of secondary and
tertiary destinations.

'The process of determining which des-
tinations to include is typically iterative.
Whereas identifying primary and second-
ary destinations may be fairly straightfor-
ward, selecting lower -tier destinations is
certain to require additional refinement.
Once categories and hierarchies of desti-
nations have been determined, the next
step is to establish a universe of all possible
destinations that fall into these categories,
GIS data, aerial imagery, and regional fa-
miliarity all help to populate this list. If the
generated list of destinations is too large
to practically use, there are a handful of
approaches to narrow the field of included
destinations:
Constraining geographic scope for
lower -tier destinations
Approach 1: linear. Only desti-
nations that fall within a certain
distance of a bikeway are included.
The distance is based on hierarchi-
cal levels from Table 2
Approach 2: nodal, Only destina-
tions in and around predetermined
focus areas or neighborhoods are
included
Narrowing eligibility criteria in cer-
tain categories, such as including only
parks over a certain size or only major
hospitals
Removing individual destination cate-
gories of lower importance

Generally speaking, it is preferable to use
only one graphic identity across all way -
finding signs of a certain purpose. For
example, all highway signs or all airport
passenger signs tend to possess the same
visual character. This uniformity bene-
fits the user; repetition of familiar motifs
reduces the amount of time a user spends
searching for signs and interpreting their
information.
However, there are any instances when
universally standardizing appearance is
simply not possible. This is likely to be the
case as more cities in the Gateway Cities
region develop bicycle wayfinding systems.
As this occurs, the proliferation of existing
signage will necessitate a regional -local
coordination effort.
The best practice for integrating regional
and local bicycle wayfinding is to consid-
er signage along three dimensions: new
Downey- implemented bikeways signs,
existing Downey signage, and regional
Gateway Cities signage. Each classification
requires a unique implementation strategy
as described below.
All new signage that Downey deploys
should adhere to the graphic identity
developed through this Bicycle Wayfin-
ding Signage Project, Depending on the
approach taken to future regional -local
signage integration, Downey may be able
to influence the development and adoption
of regional design standards,
M
CONCEPTUAL PRINCIPLES
This subsection provides a high-level
cussion of information design in the con-
text of bicycle wayfinding. The following
principles form the basis for how informa-
tion is positioned on each sign.
INFORMATION HIERARCHYAND FLOW
Every sign should be constructed around
a deliberate hierarchy andflow of informa-
tion, Hierarchy provides structure to the
information. In general terms, the most
important pieces are at the top of the hier-
archy, They are presented first and they are
displayed in the largest size. Information
of lesser importance comes later and in
smaller sizes.
L%993MENLRam
M
LEVEL 4
Duration
Flow orders the hierarchy to follow the
path our eyes and brain take as they scan
through and interpret information. 'the eye
tends to scan information from top to bot-
tom and left to right. Therefore, the most
important pieces of information are locat-
ed toward the top of the sign and the sign's
left side. Information of lesser importance
is located toward the right and bottom
portions of the sign. A sound hierarchy
and flow insure that the sign's message is
optimized for rapid, coherent internaliza-
tion by the user.
In the context of a bicycle wayfinding sign,
the fundamental pieces of information are
designation, destination, direction, and
duration. Each of these pieces is assigned
to one of four hierarchical levels based on
the order in which the user needs to inter-
nalize the information (see Figure 10). This
assignment determines where the piece of
information is placed on the sign.
The sign should first designate itself as a
piece of bicycle wayfinding information,
typically with a large bicycle -related icon
or text. This is the target a user will seek
when searching for wayfinding informa-
tion. This information is displayed promi-
nently at the top and center of the sign. As
a subset of level 1, the sign should show
the bikeway name or logo if it possesses
these features. This information should
be centered below the bicycle icon such
that the eye can flow directly from the first
piece of information to the next.
Directional information is then presented
below. This hierarchical level is where left/
right alignment is introduced. A person
using a sign will first need to identify the
destination that is most relevant to them
before they require direction or distance
information. Accordingly, destination
information is presented along the left side
of the sign.
Direction and distance information exist at
subordinate hierarchical levels, yet they are
also tied to a destination. Therefore, they
are shown on the same line as the destina-
tion, Directional arrows should be promi-
nent as they are essential to navigation,
PREDICTABILITYAND REDUNDANCY
Users become familiar with how signs are
presented —their position, shape, color,
and even font. Consistently repeating these
features helps users to anticipate where
signs will be placed and the messages the
signs will convey. This reduces the amount
of time needed to understand each sign.
The Designing for Bicycle Scale subsection
below presents best practices for improv-
ing the predictability of signs for people
riding bikes.
Redundancy is beneficial in the event a
user misses a sign, or if contextual factors
obscure a sign temporarily. The four basic
bicycle wayfinding sign types work togeth-
er to create a healthy, but not excessive
redundancy. For example, confirmation
signs are placed immediately after a junc-
tion and then at regular intervals along the
bike route,
TECHNICAL PRINCIPLES
This discussion addresses finer -grain
aspects of information design unique to
bicycle wayfinding signage.
DESIGNING FOR BICYCLE SCALE
Signs need to be designed for immediate
legibility from the perspective of a person
riding a bike, Factors like a bike rider's in-
tended lane position or height can inform
sign design; however, the cardinal design
consideration is speed. Based on guidance
from Portland, OR, people riding bikes
should be able to see an upcoming sign
from about 100 feet away. Assuming peo-
ple on bikes travel at an "urban average"
speed of ten miles per hour, they should
have about seven seconds to interpret the
sign. People riding bikes should not have
to stop to read signs. Therefore, signs must
clearly convey their message inside the
seven second envelope. The following prin-
ciples help to achieve this goal:
TEXT
® Use the following rule -of -thumb for
text size on road signs: one inch of
capital letter height for every 40 feet
of desired legibility. Signs should be
visible from roughly 100 feet away, so
capital letters should be 2 to 2.5 inches
tall
• Employ mixed -case rather than all -
capitals for smaller text. The greater
M
Im
variability in character height inherent
to mixed -case text enhances legibility
Avoid tight character spacing and
scaling
CONTRASTAND PROXIMITY
® Use high contrast between text and
background colors
® Group related pieces of information
and assign them similar sizes and
shapes
® Space unrelated pieces of information
apart from one another and maximize
contrast between the (except with
sign shapes as discussed below);
dissimilar items with minimal
contrast can create a distracting visual
dissonance
Create a clear segregation between
wayfinding elements and branding
elements like agency names and logos
CON SIS7'ENCYAND REPETITION
• Maintain a consistent color, font, and
iconography scheme
• Strive to position signs at consistent
heights and on standard mounting
devices. See the Sign Mounting
subsection below for further discussion
• Adopt standard naming, punctuation,
and abbreviation conventions when
defining destinations and always
adhere to the (see the Destinations
subsection above)
SIMPLICITYAND LEGIBILITY
• Use the shortest, most concise phrasing
whenever possible
® Consider using icons to supplement
text for people who are not fluent in
English
® Eliminate extraneous information,
graphics, shapes, and logos to reduce
cognitive load and distraction
® Employ diagrams to illustrate complex
Limit the use of nonstandard
abbreviations, as they may take
additional time to discern
® Consider rounding travel times to the
nearest five-minute interval. Times like
23 minutes may create a false sense of
precision. Non -rounded numbers may
also be harder to process as a person in
motion quickly passes by
® Avoid the use of divergent sign
shapes. Signs of different shapes,
such as arrow -shaped signs used with
rectangular signs, or signs of different
orientations, such as horizontal and
vertical rectangles, create a disjointed
appearance (see Figure I I on page
23). Signs of wildly different shapes
and sizes can obscure each piece of
information. Ideally all signs will
conform to a uniform width. This is
especially important for modular signs
(i.e. assemblies made up of a bike route
sign and then one or more wayfinding
panels)
MEASUREMENTS OF DISTANCE
Confirmation, decision, and off -bike route
signs should ideally all convey distances.
Distances are measured spatially (miles
or blocks), temporally (minutes), or using
both. Each of these approaches has advan-
tages and disadvantages as Table 4 (page
23) highlights,

traffic control devices. Designs in the
MUTCD are rigorously tested, Moreover,
MUTCD-compliant signs have a look that
is familiar to nearly all road users. For
these reasons, the MUTCD should gov-
ern technical aspects of sign design and
placement, such as dimensions, font size,
and ground clearance, Although we pres-
ent recommendations for color and font
choices below, the final design of Downey's
regional bicycle wayfinding signs will oc-
cur at a later phase of this project.
Bicycle wayfinding signs may borrow some
aesthetic cues from pedestrian wayfinding
signage, which tends to place a stronger
emphasis on graphic design. However, it
is important to remember that pedestrian
signs are intended for viewing at a slow-
er travel speed than bicycling. Therefore,
certain concepts common to pedestrian
wayfinding, such as intricate graphics,
smaller fonts, and long place names, may
not be suitable for bicycle signage.
Signage should generally employ a limited
color palate. Unnecessary use of colors for
aesthetic purposes often leads to "Color
pollution;' the tendency for coloration
to compete for attention with a sign's
message, Additionally, any colors have
associated connotations. It is important to
consider these meanings when choosing
colors. Table 5 (page 25), excerpted from
National Passenger Facilitation Committee
(2011) and modified to include MUTCD
color definitions, presents colors and their
associated meanings.
Im
Downey has an established color palate
outlined in the Discover Downey Brand
Identity Report & Graphic Standards, up-
dated April 2014. The bicycle wayfinding
system should adhere to these standards or
the standard MUTCD color palate.
VAIJ194A,
The font used on signs is perhaps the single
most important determinant of the sign's
overall legibility —and visual character.
Font should be carefully chosen for opti-
mal legibility. Maximizing legibility leads
to quicker recognition of letterforms and
thereby words. This translates to a faster
internalization of the sign's message. Font
choices also need to consider visibility
under poor weather and nighttime condi-
tions, sight -impaired individuals, and even
fast -traveling bike riders. Table 6 (page
26) presents a sample of industry standard
transportation wayfinding fonts.
Generally speaking, it is best to use only
one typeface for information design. This
practice reduces unnecessary complexity.
A secondary font may be used sparingly
for branding purposes. If two font families
are used, they need to possess a strong
contrast so as not to blend together. Deco-
rative fonts should generally be avoided.

destinations like parks, transit stations,

fluent in English to use the signs. Often-
times, pictograms can be added next to
destination names without cluttering signs.
Two important considerations need to be
followed when using pictograms, Picto-
grams need to be instantly and universally
recognizable as symbols of the destinations
they portray. Their messages should be
apparent to people on bicycles approaching
at speed. As with place names, pictograrns
need to be consistently applied with regard
to size, scaling, and whether or not the
graphic is included for a destination.
Logos in wayfinding materials present a
unique set of challenges. Generally speak-
0
ing, it is best to not include agency logos
on signs. Logos present the user with in-
formation that is not necessary for naviga-
tion, When initially scanning a sign, users
have to parse the logo, determine that it
will not help the get to their destination,
and then continue scanning the sign for
actual navigation information —all within
about seven seconds. In essence, logos add
extraneous visual complexity that com-
petes with and detracts from core naviga-
tion information.
Logos that enhance wayfinding, such as the
San Gabriel River Bike Trail logo, should
be included. Logos that are not associated
with wayfinding should not be included to
reduce sign clutter.
M Id Z I Z DIII Z k d I Z It]
Even the best designed sign will be use-
less if people cannot locate it. Effective
sign mounting is critical. Signs should be
mounted in consistent, conspicuous loca-
tions, Clear sightfines, free of plants and
other obstructions, should extend between
the bicycle path of travel and the signs,
Bicycle signage tends to be smaller than
primary directional signs for motorists,
but about the same size as ancillary mo-
torist signs, like small destination markers
or parking restriction signs. It is easy for
bicycle wayfinding to get lost in a clutter
of similarly proportioned signs (see Figure
12), Signs that are harder to locate make
for a slower wayfinding process. Or worse,
people riding bikes may miss them alto-
gether. A unique brand identity for bicycle
wayfinding signs may alleviate this prob-
lem somewhat, To further reduce the oc-
currence, bicycle wayfinding signs should
be mounted with a clear space of at least a
foot to the nearest sign of any other type,
The MUTCD provides helpful guidance for
sign mounting, height, and ground clear-
ance. It should be followed when crews in-
stall signs. Best practice is to mount bicycle
wayfinding signs on their own poles. Free-
standing signs will be easier for people to
locate and less susceptible to clutter from
other signs. A lesser but still acceptable
practice is to mount bike wayfinding signs
on poles shared with other regulatory sig-
nage. People riding bikes may be expected
to already be scanning these locations for
information relevant to their travel.
Signage needs to be placed in consistent,
predictable locations in order to be most
effective. Bicycle wayfinding should not be
mounted to traffic signals or lighting, util-
ity, and transit stop poles. These locations,
while opportunistic, are highly unpredict-
able. Signs in these locations are at great-
est risk of blending in with or becoming
obscured by their surroundings. Further,
people riding bikes may not think, to look
for signs in these places. Nonstandard
mountings may even increase the com-
plexity of installation and maintenance.
Finally, signs should be positioned so that
the directions they give clearly point to the
corresponding path of travel. No signs —
especially decision and turn signs —should
be placed near any streets, paths, or diver-
gences that might be mistaken for anything
other than the bicycle rider's intended
path,
