Foster City Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan

The Project is located within the City of Foster City, where the Foster City Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan (Plan) was developed by Fehr & Peers to enhance safety, accessibility, and connectivity across the City's bicycle and pedestrian networks. The Plan focuses on Class IV separated bikeways and low-stress neighborhood corridors. The Plan includes potential future capital improvement projects and safety enhancements across Foster City, including: • Priority Projects: Seven (7) priority concepts were advanced for conceptual design development, including key corridors such as Beach Park Boulevard, Edgewater Boulevard, Foster City Boulevard, and neighborhood Class III bicycle boulevards along Gull Avenue, Marlin Avenue, and Grebe Street. • Safe Routes to School Improvements: Intersection improvements near schools such as high-visibility crosswalks, curb extensions (bulb-outs), and daylighting intersections to improve visibility (in compliance with AB 413). • Bicycle Network Connectivity: Wayfinding, signage, and striping enhancements, including traffic circles and speed cushions, connecting residential streets to major bikeways, local commercial centers, and regional destinations like the Bay Trail. • Pedestrian Network Connectivity: Upgrading high-stress corridors and closing pedestrian gaps to improve continuous walking connections to commercial services, public parks, and other key destinations. • Intersection & Traffic Calming Enhancements: Higher-visibility pedestrian crosswalks, Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs), pedestrian refuge islands, and speed control measures designed to reduce traffic speeds and improve visibility along major arterial roadways.
