Active Transportation Plan

The City of Claremont is creating an Active Transportation Plan (ATP) to make our city safer and better for people walking and rolling. It will be the plan for creating an Active Transportation network for the next decade or two!

The NEW ATP draft is available NOW at www.ClaremontSharedStreets.com

There are multiple events where you can share your opinion and work to improve this ATP. These dates can be found at www.ClaremontSharedStreets.com under "Get Involved - Events"

Overview

The pedestrian portion of the ATP is pretty good!

It includes treatments like: raised intersections, curb extensions, new curb ramps, flashing pedestrian beacons, traffic calming, high visiblity crosswalks, & leading pedestrian intervals for traffic lights

The bike porition of the ATP is pretty horrible! CSP is working to make it better, but we need your help!

The ATP draft for mobility lanes is a patchwork of different types of bikeways:

Class 3 - "Sharrows" or "Bike Routes" - Bikes ride with vehicle traffic, but there's a bike painted on the street (most dangerous) - GOLD on map

Class 2 - Painted "standard" bikeways - Provides bikes their own small space on the road but offers no protection - e.g. the bike lanes on Mills Ave, Mountain Ave south of Foothill (still dangerous) - PINK on map

Class 4 - Protected/Separated bikeways - Includes a concrete curb or other barrier between vehicles and bikes (safest option) - BLUE on map

Many of the protected bikeways that are in ATP draft still stop and start or are only recommended on one side of the street - e.g. the design of Foothill Blvd or Towne Ave - 

Currently, this ATP has no vision for a protected, connected bikeway network, which is what the City Council requested.
