Existing Bicycle Plan/Infrastructure

Picture
Marengo Ave. just north of Orange Grove.
In 2011 the City of Pasadena updated its bicycle master plan as one element of the General Plan update process. A part of the "Mobility Element", the resulting final draft has yet to be formally adopted by the City, whose various Commissions continue to work on the General Plan's other proposals. The draft plan remains heavily reliant on emphasized Class III Bike Routes and "Enhanced Bike Routes" rather than Class II Lanes or Class I paths. The former may consist of signage "Sharrow" street markings (maps of existing and proposed changes can be seen below). 

While a step in the right direction, Class III infrastructure does not provide the same safety and ridership benefits as Class I/II road treatments, This has led some local cyclists, in particular members of CalTech's "Bike Lab", to petition the City to improve east-west corridors for cyclists by striping bike lanes.   

Although the City's updated Bicycle Master Plan has yet to be adopted by City Council, implementation of some of the proposed improvement has already begun, including sharrows on Villa St. and the City's first neighborhood greenway - N. Marengo Ave (pictured at left).
