REQUEST: CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL TO ADOPT THE COACHELLA
VALLEY ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENT'S 2010 NON-
MOTORIZED TRANSPORTATION PLAN (NMTP)
SUBMITTED BY: Ryan Stendell, Senior Management Analyst
DATE: October 24, 2013
CONTENTS: Copy of CVAG's 2010 NMTP
Recommendation
By Minute Motion, adopt the Coachella Valley Association of Government's
2010 Non-Motorized Transportation Plan (NMTP).
Back�round
For some time now, the City has been pursuing the Mid Valley Bikeway, which parallels
the Interstate 10 through Palm Desert. This project will provide off-street connectivity for
cyclists and pedestrians in the north sphere of the City. Staff became aware through a
recent grant application that this project is not listed within the City's General Plan. For
most grant applications, the project must be incorporated into a plan that has been
adopted by the City Council. Due to the fact that this project is not fully funded, staff is
anticipating that future grant applications would be sought, and having this project
adopted by the City Council is necessary.
CVAG recently completed an update to its NMTP in 2010, and it is a much more up to
date baseline plan than the existing general plan. By adopting CVAG's plan, we can
alleviate the need to go through the lengthy process of amending our existing general
plan. This will ultimately allow us to continue searching for funding sources.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
The Coachella Vatley Association of Governments (CVAG) recognizes the value of
providing opportunities for local residents and visitors to bicycle for work and
recreation, as well as to use off-road traits for hikin�, equestrians and jogging. Such
opportunities help to reduce auto trips, improve the environment, promote healthy
lifestyles and create livable communities. As this Plan is implemented, it will
transform Coachella and Palo Verde Valley communities into places where more
people use a bicycle to get to work, to school or to the store. It will brin� more
recreational opportunities to its residents. In the long run, imptementation witl
create a full network of bikeways and trails serving nearly every neighborhood. The
Plan will enhance the reputation of the Coachella and Palo Verde Valteys as tourist
meccas. Future tourists may be able to pick up a bicycle at their hotet and ride for
fun, to restaurants and even to our spectacutar canyons. More children will be able
to ride a bicycte safely to schoot. Our many retirees will experience enhanced
lifestytes as their hiking, equestrian and cycling options flourish.
The Non-Motorized Transportation Plan updates a plan for bikeways and trails that
was compteted in 2001. It includes updates of a bicycle plan for each jurisdiction as
well as revisions to plans for hiking and equestrian trails. The bicycle plans will make
each city and the County of Riverside eligible for Bicycle Transportation Account
funds, and enhance their chances to compete for other funds. Cities and the County
will also improve their chances of receivin� funds for the trails on this Plan. Plans for
all of the facilities contained herein provide opportunities to include them along with
future development. By having bikeway and trail atignments on the Plan, tocal
jurisdictions will have significant leverage to work with devetopers to construct them.
Since the 2001 plan was completed, constituent organizations have grown to become
strong voices in the Coachella Valley. Community groups have requested that their
cities and CVAG take a more assertive role in planning and constructing bikeways and
traits. In response to these requests CVAG has taken the initiative to devetop this
Plan. This planning effort follows work completed in 2008 for CVAG and the Southern
California Association of Governments that updated maps of existing facilities.
The individual bicycle plans for each jurisdiction are prepared to compty with
California Streets and Highways Code 891.2 that specifies what must go into a bicycle
plan to be eligible for Bicycle Transportation Account funds.
CVAG Non-Motorized Transportation Plan Update 1
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Process
The 2001 Non-Motorized Transportation Plan involved extensive fieldwork to measure
the curb-to-curb widths of streets. Some of the local jurisdictions adopted that plan
and brought in funding as a result. Some added bikeway and trail projects to their
plans as well. Since this work follows a wetl-established progression, it was not
necessary to repeat some of the former tasks. This Plan was developed from an
outreach effort followed by fieldwork and meetings with local jurisdictions. This
report and its maps record the findings.
Public Outreach
Public Workshops
This planning process began with three public workshops. Those workshops were held
at the locations and times below:
• October 28, 2008 in Palm Desert
• October 29 in Blythe
• October 30 in Patm Springs
The ptanning consultant presented a slide show describing the process. The
consultant also facilitated a mapping exercise and open discussion to learn about
where new bikeways, trails and related facitities are needed. Appendix A shows the
results of these workshops.
Meetin�s with Stakeholder Groups
A series of stakeholder group meetings followed the pubtic workshops. The planning
consultant met with, or had other contact with, the following organizations:
• Go Bike
• Desert Bicycle Club
• Coachella Valley Community Trails Alliance
• Desert Riders
• Various equestrian representatives
• Desert Trails Coalition
• Riverside County Park and Open Space District
• Patm Springs Unified School District
• Coachella Valley Unified School District
• Desert Sands Unified School District
• Aqua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians
• Torres-Martinez Band of Mission Indians
CVAG Non-Motorized Transportation Ptan Update 2
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
• Cattrans District 8
• SunLine Transit Agency
• United States Bureau of Land Management
• Coachella Valtey Mountains Conservancy
• College of the Desert
The stakeholder groups each provided input as to what bikeways, trails and other
facilities they would like to see in this Ptan. Some mentioned which of these projects
they would like to see have priority. The consultant also received and recorded
information from stakeholders by telephone and email. Appendix B displays the
results of these stakeholder interviews.
Survey
In March of 2008, CVAG Transportation Ad Hoc Bicycle/Trails Sub-Committee
circulated a tetter to bicycle interests to ask them what their priorities are for the
Coachella Valley. Results of the query were emaited back to CVAG. Safety topped
the tist of overall concerns cited by respondents, particularly related to the fairness
of being able to share the road with motorists. There was significant interest in a
bicycling awareness and safety education campaign, especialty related to existing
laws regarding sharing the road. Respondents wanted bicycle events to promote the
acceptance of bicyctes. They also recommended that City and County staff be trained
in bicycle route planning, and that General Plan Circulation Elements contain
bikeways. Tabte 1 below disptays the ranked requests according to the number of
responses received. These results should be viewed as regionat priorities.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Fieldwork
The planning consultant conducted fietdwork to assess the feasibility of bikeway and
trail alignments suggested by stakehotder groups, and to determine what is needed to
create these. Appendix B presents the corridors that were assessed as a result of the
public workshops and stakeholder interviews. Other fietdwork was conducted at the
behest of local jurisdictions.
The fieldwork primarily consisted of taking measurements and recording existing
conditions. The consultant took the results of the fieldwork to each of the locat
jurisdictions for their reaction to these candidate projects.
Meetings with Local Jurisdictions
The planning consuttant met with each of the cities in the Coachella Valley, Blythe
and County of Riverside to determine which bikeway and trails they want in the Plan.
The consultant brought the projects suggested by the pubtic and stakeholder groups
along with results of the fieldwork to hetp them decide.
At these meetings the consultant inquired about all of the other Plan components
needed to comply with California Streets and Highways Code 891.2. Additionalty,
local jurisdictions furnished preferences for project priorities for their individual
bicycle plans.
The results of the meetings with locat jurisdictions determined the projects that are
induded in this Plan. Although this Plan has been prepared through CVAG, the Plan is
intended to be adopted by each city and the County of Riverside as its own.
Other Planning Efforts
Simultaneously to this ptanning effort two other plans were created. These looked at
specific areas of the Coachelta Valley more in depth. The results of these planning
efforts were adopted in this Plan to ensure consistency of plans.
Whitewater River, Coachelta Canal and Dillon Road
The Coachella Valley Recreation and Parks District and the Riverside County Regional
Park and Open Space District contracted a consultant to devetop a plan more detailed
than this for the following three alignments in the Coachella Valley:
• Whitewater River
• Coachella Canal
• Dillon Road
CVAG Non-Motorized Transportation Plan Update 5
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
The plan detailed the alignments, bikeway and trail type and access points for these
three corridors. The results are included in this Plan.
Hikin� and Equestrian Trail Ptan for Northern Coachella ValleY
The Coachella Valley Mountains Conservancy worked with local hiking and equestrian
interest groups to develop a plan for earthen trails in the northern Coachella Valley
and in the Coachetla Valley Preserve. Some of these trails exist. Others were on
former plans, but were not marked on maps very precisely. This trails plan
consolidated former plans and used computer-mapping techniques to bring the
alignments onto a more accurate map than had previously existed. The results are
adopted into this 2009 CVAG Non-Motorized Transportation Plan Update.
Riverside Countv Traits Plan for the Coachelta Vatlev
The Riverside County Regional Park and Open Space District incorporated an updated
Trails Plan into their 2009 County General Plan Update. The bikeways and trails in
that plan are included in this Non-Motorized Transportation Plan.
City of Indio 2009 Trails Feasibilitv Study
In 2009, the City of Indio conducted a Trails Feasibility Study that planned new
bikeways and traits. The bikeways and traits in that ptan are included in this Non-
Motorized Transportation Plan.
Complete Streets Act of 2008
In 2008, the State of California adopted the Complete Streets Act of 2008. The law
requires local governments to consider all users in planning for all streets. They must
plan for bicyclists, pedestrians and transit users as well as motorists. And they are
required to plan for all ages and physical abilities. Such accommodations may include
sidewatks, bike tanes, crosswalks, pedestrian crossin� improvements, wide shoulders,
medians, bus bulbs, and audible pedestrian signals, among others. As of 2011,
whenever local governments revise circulation elements to their general ptans the
provisions of this taw take effect. By adopting the bicycle plans contained in this Plan
into their circulation elements, cities and the County would comply with that part of
the law.
Assemblv Bill 32 - The Global Warmin� Sotutions Act
In 2008 the State of California adopted AB 32, which requires the California Air
Resources Board (CARB) to develop regutations and market mechanisms to reduce
California's greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent by 2020, and by 80 percent by
2050 below 1990 levels.By adopting and implementing the bicycle plans contained in
this Plan into their circulation elements, cities and the County woutd progress towards
these objectives.
CVAG Non-Motorized Transportation Ptan Update b
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Senate Bill 375
In 2008 the State of California adopted SB 375 aimed at reducing greenhouse gases
caused by motor vehicles. It calls on regional governments to develop plans to reduce
sprawl and develop bicycle, pedestrian and transit transportation modes. SB 375
offers cities and developers incentives to develop in a more compact form. By
adopting and implementing the bicycle ptans contained in this Plan into their
circulation elements, cities and the County would progress towards the intent of this
law. Cities and the County can also progress towards the intent of this law by
adoptin� "smart growth" strategies in their land use planning to mold new
development into a form that makes new neighborhoods walkable and bicycte
friendly.
Greenhouse Gas Pled�e of 2009
At the 2009 international climate change summit in Copenhagen, President Obama
pledged that the US would adopt policies to reduce its �reenhouse gas emissions by 17
percent by 2020 and 83 percent by 2050 below 1990 levels. Since a large portion of
greenhouse gas emissions in the Coachetla and Palo Verde Valleys are caused by motor
vehicles, it will be important to convert a significant portion of the daily trips made
here to bicycle and pedestrian trips in order to meet our objectives. This Plan can
be used as an important step in this direction.
Caltrans Traffic Operations Poticv Qirective 09-06
Caltrans Traffic Operations Policy Directive 09-06 modifies the California Manual on
Traffic Control Devices and provides specific guidance to user-activated traffic signals
to detect bicycles and motorcyctes. It specifies to the jurisdiction of that
intersection, that upon modifying or replacing 50 percent or more of the limit line
detectors at an intersection, that all travel lanes must be modified to detect bicycles
and motorcycles.
Plan Organization
Chapter 2 reiterates the Goals and Objectives from the 2001 Non-Motorized
Transportation Plan that this Plan updates. Chapter 3 presents the entire bikeway
and trails plan in both the Coachelta and Pato Verde Valleys. Chapter 4 contains atl of
the individual bicycle master plans for each jurisdiction along with project priorities
and phasing. Chapter 5 describes eligible funding sources. Chapter 6 lays out an
implementation strategy. Chapter 7 includes design issues. The Appendix displays
results of the public outreach effort and meetings with local jurisdictions on a list of
Plan revisions.
CVAG Non-Motorized Transportation Plan Update 7
CHAPTER 2
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
These goals and objectives are taken from the 2001 Non-Motorized Transportation
Plan. Since the emphasis of that plan was somewhat different (it contained a
pedestrian component, for example) these reflect that.
Goals provide the context for the specific objectives and policy guidelines discussed in
the Non-motorized Transportation Plan. The goals provide the long-term vision and
serve as the foundation of the plan. Goals are broad statements of purpose that do
not provide specific action statements, while poticy guidelines provide a bridge
between general policies and actual implementation guidelines, which are provided in
the following sections. As with the Plan recommendations, none of the Goals or
Objectives is funded at this time. This Transportation Plan and the goals, objectives,
and policy guidelines herein do not mandate any specific action by the Coachella
Valley Association of Governments or local jurisdictions. These goals and objectives
are meant as guidelines and are not required actions by the jurisdictions.

CVAG Non-Motorized Transportation Plan Update 15
CHAPTER 3: BIKEWAY AND TRAILS PLAN
Bikeway Plan
The ptanning effort described in Chapter 1 yielded a comprehensive network of
bikeways of all types in the Coachella and Palo Verde Valleys. The following maps
display that network by bikeway type. They also depict bikeways that exist, and
those that are planned. Since some of the cities in the Coachella Valley plan their
bikeway networks with paved multi-purpose paths, sidewalk paths, golf cart lanes and
gotf cart paths that link with Caltrans standard bikeways, these are shown on the
following maps. They are not shown on the individual bikeway plans for each local
jurisdiction since these must use the Cattrans standard bikeway types to comply with
Streets and Highways Code 891.2. The following maps illustrate the planned bikeways
in a regional format.
CVAG Non-Motorized Transportation Plan Update 20
CHAPTER 3: BIKEWAY AND TRAILS PLAN
The trails and trailheads shown on the map as proposed in the northern Coachella
Valley are conceptual. They are not approved projects. Each of these that move
forward will be subject to applicable review and permitting processes including the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and/or the National Environmental
Protection Act (NEPA). Projects on lands owned by entities, which are signatories to
the Coachella Valley Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan (CV MSHCP) witl be
subject to the criteria, and review and approval process stipulated by the CV MSHCP.
Thiswitt include review by the retevant Resource Management Unit Committee (RMUC)
and approval by the Resource Management Oversight Committee (RMOC). Proposed
trails on Bureau of Land Management lands will be subject to a separate process.
The following maps illustrate existing and proposed hikin� and equestrian trails alon�
with trailheads.
CVAG Non-Motorized Transportation Plan Update 27
CHAPTER 4
LOCAL BICYCLE PLANS
This section of the Coachella Valley Association of Governments Non-Motorized
Transportation Plan contains the individual cities' bicycle plans and Riverside
County's bicycle plan for the unincorporated areas of the Coachetla and Palo Verde
Valleys. The elements of the plans fulfilt the requirements of the California State
Department of Transportation's (Caltrans) Design Guidelines Manual Section 891.2.
The requirements for bicycle plans include the followin�:
a) Estimated number of existing bike commuters and estimated increase
b) Map and description of existing and proposed land use
c) Map and description of existing and proposed bikeways
d) Map and description of existing and proposed bicycle parking
e) Map and description of existing and proposed links to other transportation
modes
f) Map and description of existing and proposed facilities for changing and storing
clothes (amenities)
g) Description of safety education programs, efforts by taw enforcement and
effect on crash rates
h) Description of pubtic input
i) Description of coordination with other tocal and regional transportation, air
quality and energy conservation plans
j) Description of projects and their priorities
k) Description of past expenditures and future financial needs
Compliance with the 891.2 requirements makes jurisdictions eligible to apply for
Bicycle Transportation Account funding. Every year $7.2-million is available. Once a
bicycle plan has been approved by Riverside County Transportation Commission, a
jurisdiction is eligible to compete with others for funding of specific projects. Those
projects identified in each of the plans are eligible for funding, and those given a top
priority desi�nation are more likely to receive funds. Each project will be submitted
independently by each jurisdiction and witl compete against others from around the
State for funds.
Although each plan is presented individuatly, the bicycle ridership forecast and
bicycle collision data analysis sections of the plans can be found at the end of this
introductory section. These two analyses are handled with all the citiesand the
unincorporated county areas together in the fotlowing two chapter sections.
CVQG Non-Motorized Transportation Ptan Update 32
CHAPTER 4: LOCAL BICYCLE PLANS
Each plan contains atl the bikeway projects along with their priority, length and
planning tevel cost estimates. As noted in Chapter Five these cost estimates use
average costs per mile. More detailed cost estimates of each project will need to be
conducted later on taking into account the particulars of each.
The bicycle ptans also set a blueprint for jurisdictions to implement policies and
actions that can make their bicycling environment friendtier. Bicycling is recognized
as a growing mode of transportation in most cities across the nation, and especiatly in
California. Whether for recreational or utilitarian trips, bicyding is becoming more
popular. The topography of the Coachella and Palo Verde Valleys makes for a
relatively easy environment for bicycling. Most destinations are accessible over
relatively flat terrain. More chatlenging routes are also available for the more
experienced recreationat cyclist. The region's climate is very conducive to bicycling
in the mild winter months, and during the hot summer months, many bicyclists ride at
night when temperatures are more moderate. Bicyclists in the Coachella and Palo
Verde Valleys could benefit from a more bicycle-friendly physical environment to
make cycling in the valleys a more enjoyable and efficient mode of transportation for
years to come.
Bicycte Ridership Forecast
This Plan setsan objective to reach 5 percent of alt trips to be made by bicycle
regionwide. This is the objective for each of the local jurisdictions as well. Although
it is recognized that it is an ambitious goal, it is achievable with complete
implementation of the Plan. According to the most recent US Census data available
(2000) the percentage of bicycle commuters for each jurisdiction foltows:
Blythe: 0.8% Palm Desert: 0.5%
Cathedral City: 0.6% Palm Springs: 1.1%
Coachella: 0.0% Rancho Mirage: 0.1%
Indian Wells: 0.0% Riverside County (includes all
Indio: 0.5% county): 0.5%
La Quinta: 0.2%
Consistency with Other Transportation, Air Quality, Ener�y Plans
Local and Regionat Bikeway and Transportation Plans
Since this Plan contains a regional bicycle plan, as well as locat bicycle plans for every
jurisdiction, by process local and regionat efforts are coordinated. Each of the tocal
jurisdictions provided input to this Plan and their comments were incorporated. This
CVAG Non-Motorized Transportation Plan Update 33
CHAPTER 4: LOCAL BICYCLE PLANS
Plan provides local jurisdictions the option to incorporate their bicycle plan into their
Circulation Element of their General Plans.
This Plan supports regional transportation goals, including those of the Riverside
County Transportation Commission (RCTC) and the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP)
put forth by the Southern Catifornia Association of Governments (SCAG).
Regional Air Quality and Energy Plan Consistency
The Southern California Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) delegates its
transportation planning to SCAG through its RTP document, which identifies goals and
objectives that promote bicycling to reduce air emissions. An emphasis on utilitarian
bicycting, inctuding supporting amenities and infrastructure, is an important aspect of
meeting these goals. Since this Ptan contains bikeways, bicycle parking, links to
transit and amenities, it encourages utilitarian cycling and is consistent with the
SCAQMD efforts.
By encouraging utilitarian bicycling, the Plan will atso reduce energy consumption.
Since transportation consumes the largest portion of our energy and many trips are
within bicycling distance, the potential to reduce energy consumption is great.
Bicycte Crash Anatysis
Table 2following shows the number and rate of crashes (collisions in SWITRS
terminotogy) involving bicyclists in each city and the unincorporated areas in the
CVAG region for the three most current years 2006, 2007, and 2008. This information
was gathered from the California Highway Patrol's SWITRS website, which provides
crash information by jurisdiction. Population data was obtained from the California
Department of Finance and from the CVAG website. As the table shows, only one
jurisdiction in the CVAG region had a higher bicycle crash rates than the state average
-- Patm Springs. Further research would be needed to determine the reasons for this.
However, cities that have more cyclists generally have greater numbers of crashes.
Further, Palm Springs likely has many tourists cycling that may not be familiar with
the local environment.No other discernable patterns emerge from this data.
Only Btythe, Indio and Rancho Mirage have bicycle safety education programs. The
police in all of the locat jurisdictions enforce atl traffic laws, including those that
impact bicyctes. Since no ctear crash pattern surfaced from the data, no conclusions
can be drawn as to whether bicycle safety education programsor police enforcement
has had any effect on the number of bicyclists involved in crashes.
CVAG Non-Motorized Transportation Plan Update 34
CHAPTER 4: LOCAL BICYCLE PLANS
Whitewater River Bike Path
The Coachella Valtey Recreation and Parks District and Riverside County Park and
Open Space District ptans for the Whitewater River included a concept for a bike path
the entire length of the river in the Coachetla Valtey, with the exceptions of several
stretches in Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert and Indian Wells. They concluded that while
chaltenges exist, particutarly where private entities own the land along the river, that
it may be feasible to put a bike path atong the river through some cooperative
planning efforts or developer agreements. However, the cities of Rancho Mirage,
Patm Desert and Indian Wells prefer to teave such a bike path off their local bicycle
plans in these areas so they are not shown there. This reference leaves open future
opportunities for landowners to negotiate with cities regardin� the bike path.

City of Blythe Bicycle Ptan
With a year 2009 population of 21,329 (California Department of Finance), Blythe is a
small residential city located in the Palo Verde Vatley adjacent to the Cotorado River.
The City is located among a grid network of arterial streets that connects to the
surrounding agricultural unincorporated areas. Some of the main arterial streets
within the City include Chanslor Way, Hobsonway, 6th, 10th and 14th Avenues, De
Frain, Lovekin, and Intake Boulevards, Broadway, and Main and 7th Streets. Most of
Blythe's destinations are located in the downtown area along Hobsonway, Main

Bicycle Amenities
There are currently no bicycle commuter related showers or clothing lockers. The City
has no requirements for bicycle amenities in new buildin�s.
Bicycle Safety Education and Police Enforcement
Desert Hot Springs has not had a bicycle safety education program. However, the
Coachella Valley Association of Governments, partnering with the Riverside County
Department of Public Health and the Palm Springs Unified School District, has won a
Federat Safe Routes to School grant to provide bicycle and pedestrian safety
education at pubtic schools in Desert Hot Springs. The program wilt likely start in
Federal Fiscal Year 2010-2011.
The Desert Hot Springs Police Department enforces alt traffic laws, for bicycle and
motor vehicles as part of their re�ular duties. They ticket violators as they see
them. This inctudes bicyclists who break traffic laws, as well as motorists who
disobey traffic laws and make the cycling environment more dangerous. The level of
enforcement depends on the availabitity of officers. The Police Department also
responds to particular needs and problems as they arise.
Past Expenditures for Bicycle Facilities
The City received an SB 821 grant for $69,000 which they matched with City funds to
widen 8th Street for new sidewalks and bike lanes. The City received a $195,000 SB
821 grant for the bike lanes on Pierson Boulevard. The City witl use its own funds to
add bike lanes to Palm Drive from Camino Aventura to Camino Idilio.

CHAPTER 4: LOCAL BICYCLE PLANS
Unincorporated Riverside County Bicycte Plan
For the purposes of this Non-Motorized Transportation Plan, areas of the Coachella
and Palo Verde Valteys that fall outside existing city boundaries are referred to as
unincorporated Riverside County. In the Coachella Valtey, this area is bounded by the
Little San Bernardino Mountains and Joshua Tree Nationat Park to the north, the Santa
Rosa Mountains to the south, Verbenia Avenue to the west, and the hills just east of
Indio and Coachella. Some of the main arterials in this area inctude SR-62, SR-111,
and SR-86, Dilton Road, Monroe, Van Buren, Fillmore, and Pierce Streets, Avenues 52,
54, 58, 62, and 66, and Airport Boulevard. According to the CVAG website, the area
has a population of 84,478 (2010).
The Palo Verde Valleyis bounded by the Main Diversion Dam to the north, the Imperial
County line to the south, the Colorado River to the east, and the Palo Verde Mesa to
the west. In this area, some of the main arterial streets include SR-78 and US-95,
Hobsonway, 4tn, 6tn, 10th, 14th, and 18th Avenues, and De Frain, Neighbours, Lovekin,
Intake, and Olive Lake Boulevards. Most of the roads in the unincorporated areas are
two-lane rural roads with pavement widths that vary between 24 and 28 feet. Some
roads have paved shoulders, but most do not. State highways, such as 111, 62, 86,
78, and US-95 tend to have widened shoulders.
Land Use
The maps on pages 119 and 120 show the current and future land use patterns in the
unincorporated areas of the Coachetla and Palo Verde Valleys. Most of the
unincorporated areas have existing agricuttural or open space tand uses. There are
several smalt urbanized areas that include some commercial, industrial, and
residential uses. Some of these small locations are labeled on the map and include
Thousand Palms, Bermuda Dunes, Thermat, Mecca, North Shore, Ripley, and Mesa
Verde. There is a large area of inedium- and low-density residential land uses located
in North Patm Springs and Sky Valtey. Some commercial uses are located along SR-111
south of Thermal, and industriat uses are tocated in North Palm Springs, north of
Rancho Mirage, and near Thermal. The checkerboard pattern of land use and zoning
corresponds with the pattern of Indian reservation land in the western part of the
Coachella Valley. Indian land is zoned for low-density residentiat and the alternating
mile squares are zoned for agricultural or open space uses.

The maps on pages 116, 117, and 118 show existing and proposed bikeways and
parking facilities. Most of the projects are proposed on rural two-lane roads with
pavement widths of 24-28 feet. There are three primary options for improving these
roads and upgrading them to accommodate bicycle lanes or establishing Class III
routes. These options for rural roads are listed below.
• Designate the routes as Class III facilities with signage and provide safety signage
advising motorists to the presence of bicyclists on the road. Accelerated
maintenance schedules coutd also be implemented along these routes.
• Widen the roadway to 36-40 feet to include either wide shoulders for a Class III
bikeway or to instalt Class II bike lanes.
• When the surrounding areas is developed, incorporate bike lanes or wide shoulders
for a Class Iil facility into the design of the roadway so that the raad is widened to
a sufficient width to accommodate a bicycle facility.

CHAPTER 4: LOCAL BICYC�E PLANS
Bicycte Parking
Existin
The County of Riverside has no existing bicycle parking facilities that have been
identified.
Proposed
The County of Riverside proposes bicycle parking facilities at all parks, schools, high-
density residential areas, and at all public buildings.
Links to Other Transportation Modes
The unincorporated areas of the County in the Coachella Valley are served by SunLine
Transit, which has bicycle racks on every bus in its fleet. The older SunLine racks
hold two bicycles, but the new state-of-the-art racks will hold three bicycles per bus
and are very convenient to use for the bicyclist. No public transit operator currently
provides transit services in the Palo Verde Valley. No transit stations or park-and-ride
facilities currently exist in the unincorporated areas of the Coachella and Palo Verde
Valleys.
Bike racks and/or bike tockers are proposed by SunLine Transit at selected bus stop
locations unincorporated portions of the CVAG region. These are presented in the

FUNDING $OURCES
Funding for Bicycle Projects
A variety of potential funding sources, including tocal, state, regional, and federat
funding programs, may be used to construct the proposed bicycle and pedestrian
improvements. Most of the Federal and State programs are competitive, and involve
the completion of extensive applications with clear documentation of the project
need, costs, and benefits. Locat funding for projects can come from sources within
jurisdictions that compete only with other projects in each jurisdiction's budget. A
detaited program-by-program of available funding programs along with the latest
relevant information follows.
Federal Funding Programs
SAFETEA-LU
The Safe Accountable Flexible Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users
(SAFETEA-LU) sets the framework for spending federal transportation revenue.
SAFETEA-LU expires with the federal fiscal year in 2009, and Congress wilt adopt
successor legistation with new funding programs and guidelines. Many of the
programs described in this section may remain.
Federal funding through SAFETEA-LU witl likely provide some of outside funding for
Coachella Valley region projects. SAFETEA-LU currently contains three major
programs that fund bikeway and/or trail projects; Surface Transportation Program
(STP), Transportation Enhancement Activities (TEA), and Congestion Mitigation and Air
Quality Improvement (CMAQ) along with other programs such as the National
Recreationat Trails Fund, Section 402 (Safety) funds, Scenic Byways funds, and
Federal Lands Highway funds.
SAFETEA-LU funding is administered through the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) and the Riverside County Transportation Commission
(RCTC). An annual Call-for-Projects competitive allocation process determines
project funding. A local match by tocal jurisdictions is often required for receipt of
funds.

cities within Riverside County for the planning and construction of bicycle and
pedestrian facilities. The Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) is
responsible for administering this program and establishing its policies.
These funds are allocated annually on a competitive basis to both cities and the
County of Riverside. Local agencies apply to RCTC for these funds.ln 2009 over $1
million were distributed by RCTC. TDA Article 3 funds may be used for the following
activities related to the planning and construction of bicycle and pedestrian facilities:
• Engineering expenses leading to construction.
• Right-of-way acquisition.
• Construction and reconstruction.
• Retrofitting existing bicycle facilities to comply with the Americans with
Disabitities Act (ADA).

Bicvcle Transportation Account (BTA)
The State Bicycte Transportation Account (BTA) is an annual statewide discretionary
program that is available through the Caltrans Bicycle Facilities Unit for funding
bicycle projects. Available as grants to tocal jurisdictions, the BTA emphasizes
projects that benefit bicycling for commuting purposes. Agencies may apply for these
funds through the Caltrans Office of Bicycle Facitities. Applicant cities and counties
are required to have an approved bicycle plan that conforms to Streets and Highways
Code 891.2 to qualify and compete for funding on a project-by-project basis. The
cities within the CVAG region and Riverside County may apply for these funds through
the Caltrans Office of Bicycle Facilities. A local match of 10 percent is required for
all awarded funds.
Every year $7.2-million is allocated for bicycle projects statewide. Of this amount,
$315,000 was allocated to the City of Cathedral City for the design and construction
of a Class I bikeway along the eastside of the Whitewater Channet from Vista Chino
Drive to 30th Avenue, and a Class II bikeway on 30th Avenue from the terminus of the
Class I bikeway along the Whitewater Channet to Landau Boulevard.

Locat Funding
Measure A
In 1998 voters approved Measure A, Riverside County's half-cent sates tax for
transportation. Funds are allocated to each of three districts: Western Riverside
County, the Coachella Valley, and Pato Verde, in proportion to what they contribute.
In 2002, Measure A was extended by Riverside County voters to fund transportation
improvements through 2039.
In addition to major highway projects, over a hatf-billion dollars has improved local
streets and roads in Riverside County. Between 1990 and 2006 cities and
unincorporated county areas in the Coachella Valleyreceived $119.6 million and cities
and unincorporated county areas in the Palo Verde district received $14.2
million.Thirty-five percent of Measure A funds are distributed to cities with the
remainder being administered by CVAG.
Non-motorized transportation projects are not included in a specific category of
funding under Measure A. Individual projects can be included by each city under the
Local Streets and Roads program's altocation of funds. Local Streets and Roads funds
are remitted to the local jurisdictions on a monthly basis. In order for individual
projects to receive these funds, cities must provide an annual Maintenance of Effort
certification and five-year capital improvement plan/program (CIP) that tists projects
that will be funded under Measure A. Projects not included in the 5-year CIP would
not be etigibte for Measure A funding.
Approximately $180-million of Measure A funding is available annually countywide,
which may or may not include those for on-street bicycle facilities. Oftentimes,
bicycle lane (Ctass II) projects are included as part of larger roadway projects and
would not be called out specifically as a bicycle project.
The Riverside County Transportation Commission administers Measure A funds. The
appropriate contact person for this program is Shirley Medina at smedinaC�rctc.org.
Transportation Uniform Miti�ation Fee (TUMF)
CVAG Non-Motorized Transportation Plan Update 125
CHAPTER 5: FUNDING SOURCES
As part of Measure A, an innovative Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee or TUMF
was created. Under the TUMF, devetopers of residential, industrial, and commercial
property pay a development fee to fund transportation projects that will be required
as a result of the growth the projects create. CVAG administers the TUMF. The TUMF
program does not have a specific cate�ory set aside for non-motorized transportation
projects, although local jurisdictions may use these funds to imptement such projects.
Eligible projects must be included in the city's Circulation Element of its General
Plan.
Approximately $100-million of Measure A funding are available annualty countywide,
which may or may not include those for on-street bicycte facilities. Oftentimes,
bicycle lane (Class II) projects are included as part of lar�er roadway projects and
would not be called out specifically as a bicycle project.
The appropriate contact person for this program is Allyn Waggle at CVAG at
awaggleC�cvag.org.
Redevelopment A�encv Funds
Redevelopment Agency funds are tax increments derived from taxes on property
within redevelopment areas. They must be spent on improvements in the designated
redevelopment area.
New Construction
Future road widening and construction projects are one means of providing bike
lanes. To ensure that roadway construction projects provide bike lanes where
needed, it is important that an effective review process is in place to ensure that new
roads meet the standards and guidelines presented in this master plan. Developers
may also be required to dedicate land toward the widening of roadways in order to
provide for enhanced bicycle mobility.
Impact Fees and Developer Miti�ation
Impact fees may be assessed on new development to pay for transportation projects,
typically tied to vehicle trip generation rates and traffic impacts generated by a
proposed project. A developer may reduce the number of trips (and hence impacts
and cost) by paying for on- or off-site bikeway improvements that will encourage
residents to bicycle rather than drive. In-lieu parking fees may also be used to
contribute to the construction of new or improved bicycle parking facilities.
Establishing a clear nexus or connection between the impact fee and the project's
impacts is criticat in avoiding a potential lawsuit.
CVAG Non-Motorized Transportation Plan Update 126
CHAPTER 5: FUNDING SOURCES
Benefit Assessment Districts
Bike paths, lanes, parking, and related facilities can be funded as part of a local
benefit assessment district. However, defining the boundaries of the benefit district
may be difficult since the bikeways will have citywide benefit.
Business improvement Districts
Bicycle improvements can often be included as part of targer efforts of business
improvement and retail district beautification. Similar to benefit assessments,
Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) collect levies on businesses in order to fund
area-wide improvements that benefit businesses and improve access for customers.
These districts may include provisions for bicycle improvements such as bicycle
parking or shower and clothing locker amenities.
Parkin� Meter Revenues
Cities can fund various improvements through parking meter revenues. The ordinance
that governs the use of the revenues would specify eligible uses. Cities have the
option to pass ordinances that specify bicycle facilities as eligible expenditures.

Z'berg-Harris Urban Open Space and Recreational Grant Program and are to be used
for:
• High priority projects that satisfy the most urgent park and recreation needs, with
emphasis on unmet needs in the most heavily populated and most
economically disadvantaged areas within each jurisdiction.
• Projects for which funding supptements--rather than supplants--local expenditures
for park and recreation facilities and does not diminish a local jurisdiction's efforts
to provide park and recreation services.
• Block grants allocated on the basis of population and location in urbanized areas.
• Need-basis grants to be awarded competitively to eligible entities in urbanized
areas and in non-urbanized areas.
Eligible projects include:
. Acquisition of park and recreation lands and facilities
• Development/rehabilitation of park and recreation lands and facitities
• Special Major Maintenance of park and recreation lands and facitities
• Innovative Recreation Programs

Land and Water Conservation Fund
States receive individual allocations of LWCF grant funds based upon a national
formula, with state population being the most inftuential factor. States initiate a
statewide competition for the amount available annually. Applications are received
by the State up to its specified deadline date. Then, they are scored and ranked
according to the project selection criteria so that only the top-ranked projects (up to
the totat amount available that year) are chosen for funding. Chosen applications are
then forwarded to the National Park Service for format approval and obligation of
federal grant monies.
Interested applicants should catl or write the California Department of Parks and
Recreation to request application information.The appropriate contact person for this

CHAPTER6
PHASING AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Fundin� Phases
Chapter 3 identified the bicycle projects planned by each local jurisdiction in the
Coachella and Pato Verde Valleys. The steps that need to be followed by each
jurisdiction to reach implementation through grant funding are:
1. Formally adopt this Plan
2. Identify the projects from the priority project lists to apply for funds to construct
3. Follow through with design and construction when funds are awarded
4. Identify the next priority round of projects and repeat the process
The projects in Chapter 4 have been categorized into three priority groups with the
first group being the highest priority - those that should be funded in the first phase.
These priorities were set to according to completion of a regional network. Second,
these priorities were based largelyon comments of the cities and the County. In cases
where the local jurisdictions did not express a priority, the Consuttant prioritized
them by considering the following criteria:
• Preferences expressed by local cyctists at the public workshops, at the stakeholder
meetings, and through personal contact
• Priorities established in the March 2008 survey
• Destinations served such as city centers, colleges, schools, parks, transit centers,
etc.
• Employment density
• Population density
• Connectivity and completion of a network
• Improvement of program that serves an immediate safety need
• Current availability and/or suitability of right-of-way
• Likelihood of attracting large numbers of users
• Connectivity with the regionat bikeway system
• Links to other transportation modes
• Cost and likety cost effectiveness

CHAPTER 6: PHASING AND IMPIEMENTATION PLAN
Cost Estimates
This Plan uses planning levet cost estimates. These reflect typical costs of different
types of bicycle facilities as experienced in cities around California as welt as in the
Coachetla Valley. As tocal jurisdictions move forward to fund and implement projects
they will need to examine the particulars of each project and produce more specific
cost estimates. Costs can vary significantly. The cost to construct Class I bike paths
vary on factors such as:
• Existing grading and need for new grading
• Existing pavement
• Whether they will be lighted or not
• Crossing treatments
• Fencing, etc.
The costs typically range from $500,000 to $2 mitlion per mile. For the purposes of
this Plan, $1 million per mile will be used.
The costs to construct Class II bike lanes vary based on:
• The need to sandblast and restripe the whole street or not
• If one or two stripes witl be used
• The frequency of stencils and signs
• If widening is needed or not, etc.
Class II costs typicalty range from $10,000 to $100,000 per mile. For the purposes of
this Plan, $50,000 per mite will be used.
Class III bike routes usualty simply consist of signs. Bike route signs generally cost
about $250 installed. Sharrow stencils can be used and increase the cost significantly,
but will be used only on streets with on-street parking. The cost of Class III bike
routes depend primarily on:
• Whether sharrows will be used or not
• How many signs are posted
• Whether destination signs are posted along with bike route signs
Class Iil bike route costs generally range from $5,000 to $30,000 per mile. For this
Plan, $20,000 per mile will be used.
CVAG Non-Motorized Transportation Plan Update 133
CHAPTER 6: PHASING AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
The cost of bike racks varies significantty depending on the type of rack. Good
inverted-U racks generatly cost about $250 each installed. Bicycte lockers atso vary
on the type. Sturdy lockers cost close to $2,000 each instatled.
The cost to maintain bike paths varies accordin� to the tandscaping and irrigation
needs. The County of Riverside Regional Park and Open Space District typically incurs
a cost of five cents per square foot per mile per year for sweeping and pavement
maintenance. Bike paths with tots of landscape and irrigation can cost up to 30 cents
per mile per square foot per year. For the purposes of this study, we will assume that
bike paths are built with 12 feet of pavement and we will use the basic cost of five
cents per square foot per year. This will be 60 cents per linear foot, or $3,168 per
mile.

Funding Sources
Chapter 5 describes in detail each funding source that can be tapped for bicycle
funds. Each locat jurisdiction witl enhance its chances of obtaining these funds by
becoming familiar with each funding source, the guidelines, typical grant size, grant
cycle, etc. It will also help for local jurisdictions to establish contact with the person
at each agency that manages each source to learn of their preferences, etc. Table 3
below synthesizes the funding sources into a matrix with pertinent information.

CHAPTER 6: PHASING AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
Other Implementation Mechanisms
Bicycle projects can be imptemented by means other than identifying funding.
Indeed, many of the bikeway projects in the Coachella Valley have been installed by
other mechanisms as described below.
• Installing bicycle lanes along with street repainting or resurfacing
Local jurisdictions regularly repaint and resurface their streets. By painting bike lanes
simultaneously the marginal cost of the lanes over the remainder of the vehicle lanes
is minimal. This makes efficient use of the striping equipment on the street. Some
cities restripe as often as every two years. Using this method, all of the planned bike
tanes in a city could be constructed in two years without outside funding needed.
• Installing Class II and Class III bikeways along with street widening and construction
of new streets
Local jurisdictions can cost-effectively add Class II and Class III bikeways as new
streets are constructed or as streets are widened. This also allows these bikeways to
go in with littte marginal cost. A si�nificant portion of the bike lane miles in this Plan
will likely be constructed this way. This is especially true in developing parts of the
Coachella Valley between Coachella and the Salton Sea.
• Identify opportunities to implement projects along with new development
Just as streets are added with new development, treating bikeways the same will
trigger their construction at the same time. It will be important for the local
jurisdictions to follow the Plan and require the bikeways (Classes I, il and Iil) to be
built as new neighborhoods devetop.
These three options give the Bicycle Master Plan significant added value. After tocal
jurisdictions adopt the Plan they can seek these opportunities to comptete the
identified bikeways.

CHAPTER 7
DESIGN AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
Bicycle Facilities
Bikeway Definitions
The foltowing section summarizes key operating and design definitions.
B�'cycle: The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials'
(AASHTO) (1999) definition of a bicycle is "every vehicle propelled solely by human
power which any person may ride, having two tandem wheels, except scooters and
similar devices. The term `bicycle' also includes three- and four-wheeled human-
powered vehicles, but not tricycles for children."
Class I: Referred to as a bike path, shared-use path, or multi-purpose trait. Provides
for bicycle travel on a paved right-of-way comptetely separated from any street or
highway. Other users may also be found on this type of facility.
Ctass II: Referred to as a bike tane. Provides a striped lane for one-way bicycle travel
on a street or highway.
Class III: Referred to as a bike route. Provides for shared use with pedestrian or
motor vehicle traffic.
The following guidelines present the recommended minimum design standards and
other recommended ancillary support items for shared use paths, bike lanes, and bike
routes. Where possible, it may be desirable to exceed the minimum standards for
shared use paths or bike lane widths, signage, lightin� and traffic signal detectors.
These guidelines cover basic concepts. The Caltrans Highway Design Manual Chapter
1000, and the AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycte Facilities contain more
detail standards and guidance and should be followed.
Class I Bike Path Facilities Design Recommendations
1. All Class I bike paths should conform to the design guidelines set forth by
Caltrans.
2. Class I bike paths should generally be designed as separated facilities away
from parallel streets. They are commonly planned along rights-of-way such as
waterways, utility corridors, railroads and the like that offer continuous
separated riding opportunities.
CVAG Non-Motorized Transportation Plan Update 137
CHAPTER 7: DESIGN AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
3. Both AASHTO and Caltrans recommend against using most sidewatks for bike
paths. This is due to conflicts with driveways and intersections. Where
sidewalks are used as bike paths, they should be placed in locations with few
driveways and intersections, should be property separated from the roadway,
and should have carefully designed intersection crossings.
4. Bike paths should have a minimum of eight feet of pavement, with at least two
feet of unpaved shoulders for pedestrians/runners, or a separate tread way
where feasible. Pavement width of 12 feet is preferred.
5. Mutti-use trails and unpaved facitities that serve primarity a recreation rather
than a transportation function and will not be funded with federal
transportation dollars may not need to be designed to Caltrans standards.
6. Class I bike path crossings of roadways, other than at intersections, should be
carefully engineered to accommodate safe and visible crossing for users. The
design needs to consider the width of the roadway, whether it has a median,
and the roadway's average daily and peak-hour traffic volumes. Crossings of
low-volume streets may require simple stop signs. Crossings of streets with
Average Daily Traffic (ADT) of approximately 15,000 should be assessed for
signalized crossing, ftashing LED beacons, crossing islands or other devices.
Roundabouts can provide desirable treatment for a bike path intersecting with
roadways where the bike path is not next to a parattel street.
7. Landscaping should generatty consist of low water-consuming native vegetation
and should have the least amount of debris.
8. Lighting should be provided where commuters will likety use the bike path in
the tate evening. Some cities in the Coachella Valtey have Dark Sky Ordinances
that may prohibit some bike path lighting. Those include Indian Wells, La
Quinta, Patm Springs and Rancho Mirage.
9. Barriers at pathway entrances should be clearly marked with reflectors and be
ADA accessible, as shown in Figure 1 (minimum five feet clearance).

Class II Bike Lane Facilities Design Recommendations
The following guidetines should be used when designin� Class II bikeway facilities.
These guidelines are provided by the Caltrans Highway Design Manual Chapter 1000,
the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), the
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), and the Caltrans Traffic Manual.
1. Class II Bike Lane facilities should conform to the minimum design standard of 5
feet in width in the direction of vehicle travel adjacent to the curb lane.
Where space is available, a width of 6 to 8 feet is preferred, especiatly on busy
arterial streets, on grades, and adjacent to parallel parking.
2. Under certain circumstances, bike tanes may be 4 feet in width. Situations
where this is permitted include the following.
■ Bike lanes located between through traffic lanes and right turn pockets
at intersection approaches. See Figure 4.
■ Where there is no parking, the gutter pan is no more than 12" wide, and
the pavement is smooth and flush with the gutter pan.
■ Where there is no curb and the pavement is smooth to the curb.
3. "Bike Lane" signage, as shown in Figure 2, shall be posted after every
significant intersection along the route of the bike tane facility. Directional
signage may also accompany this sign to �uide bicyclists along the route. If a
bike lane exists where parking is prohibited, "no parking" signage may
accompany bike lane signage.

Trait Crossings
Trail crossings of streets present the most difficutt challen�e of designing safe and
functional trails. Wherever trails cross streets utmost care should be used in
designing the crossing. The following should be considered:
1. Ideally, trails should cross streets in separate locations from intersections.
2. Trail crossings should be treated like intersections with the appropriate
crossing devices as warranted by the location. The design needs to consider the
width of the roadway, whether it has a median, and the roadway's average
daily and peak-hour traffic volumes. Crossings of low-votume streets may
require simple stop signs. Crossings of streets with Average Daity Traffic (ADT)
of approximately 15,000 should be assessed for signalized crossing, flashing LED
beacons, crossing islands and other devices. Roundabouts can provide desirable
treatment for a trail intersecting with roadways where the trail is not next to a
parallel street.
3. Si�nage should warn motorists in advance of trail crossings.
4. Trail crossings should be marked on the pavement with zebra-stripe crosswalks.
Advanced stop bars and advanced yield bars are desirabte.
5. Trail crossings at right angles are easier to design than those at angles.
6. Where feasible, grade separated crossings are preferred.
7. Where equestrians are expected, push buttons for user-activated signals shoutd
be tocated at equestrian height.
8. Proper curb ramps should be constructed at the crossings.
Desi�n Guidelines for New Development
New development presents terrific opportunities to incorporate bikeways and trails
into new communities. Challenges abound trying to retrofit existing streets that
weren't build with adequate curb-to-curb width for bike lanes, as well as trying to
add bike paths and traits without through rights-of-way. New development can be
built with bikeways and trails as part of the circulation system and community form.
Today's real estate market has dramatically slowed development, but it will likely
CVAG Non-Motorized Transportation Plan Update 154
CHAPTER 7: DESIGN AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
rebound in coming years. This section will present means to integrate bikeways and
trails with new development.
Land Use Planning
Land use planning that adheres to smart growth principles provides opportunities for
people to travel on bicycle, on foot or on trails. Mixing land uses brings origins and
destinations closer to one another so that people can travel between them by non-
motorized means. Compact land use that builds up more than out does the same.
Comprehensive land use planning integrates parks and greenways so that bikeways
and trails can be built in.
Street Networks
Street Networks Conducive to Non-Motorized Travel
Bicyclists and pedestrians fare best in neighborhoods with well-connected streets that
have small blocks. Such street networks bring many origins and destinations within
walking and bicycling distance. They also spread traffic among more streets so that
fewer wide, high-speed streets that discourage bicycling and walking are needed.
Many destinations can be accessed along quiet, direct streets. In contrast,
neighborhoods that have disconnected streets, cul-de-sacs, and walls force peopte to
take longer, indirect routes that invotve travel along high-speed arterial roads that
are inhospitable to non-motorized users. The graphics betow in Figures 26 and 27
contrast these two neighborhood types.
CVAG Non-Motorized Transportation Ptan Update 155
CHAPTER 7: DESIGN AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
Road Standards
New cotlector streets and streets higher on the hierarchy should include bicycle lanes.
This means that the curb-to-curb cross section of these types of streets should have
bike lanes included. Ideally 6' wide lanes shoutd be used as a minimum with 7' or 8'
bike tanes on wide, high-speed arterials. By inctuding bike lanes in such road
standards they will be built along with the new roads.
Maintenance Guidetines
It will be important to maintain the entire bicycle and trail facilities in the Coachella
and Palo Verde Vatleys. The frequency of this maintenance will vary significantly
depending on the usage, weather, landscaping and other factors. The foltowing
presents some general guidelines.
• On-road facilities such as bike lanes and bike paths need regular sweeping and
painting. They should be maintained along with the street.
. Bike racks need painting every five to ten years. Those with rubberized coating
need replacement approximately every 10-15 years. Bicycle lockers shoutd last a
long time and maintenance should be done as needed.
• Maintenance for off-road paths presents more of a chattenge than on-road
facilities because the maintenance won't be done as an incidental part of other
maintenance. Well-built concrete pavement can last as long as 40 years and stay
in good condition so long as it doesn't have much motor vehicle usage. But paths
need regutar sweeping, the frequency depending on adjacent vegetation and sand,
as well as the frequency of strong winds that can blow sand onto paths.

Caltrans District 8
Issues
1. Nearly all of the state highways within buitt-up areas have been, or soon will
be, relinquished to the local jurisdiction.
2. Caltrans uses a standard that incorporates an 8-foot shoulder on rural
highways. This is usually suitable for bicycles to ride on.
3. Caltrans keeps a list of state highways that bicyclists are permitted to ride on.
All of the state highways that are candidates for bikeways in the Coachella and
Palo Verde Valleys permit cyclists. Those are:
o SR-111
o SR-62
o SR-86S (except for a smatl segment between Dillon Road and I-10) (need
to confirm)
o SR-78 (Palo Verde Valley)
o US-95 (Palo Verde Valley)

CHAPTER 3
BIKEWAY AND TRAILS PLAN
Cities in the Coachetla Vatley have constructed a variety of bikeway and trail types.
Until a mapping effort was conducted for the County of Riverside Department of
Public Heatth in 2007 there had never been an attempt to create a set of common
definitions for each of these. The updated Department of Public Health map displays
existing bikeways in the Coachella Valley for users. In 2008, CVAG and the Southern
California Association of Governments contracted out to create a map and to put the
map into a Geographic Information Systems (GiS) format that can be modified over
time as projects are buitt and plans are changed. A ctassification system was
devisedas part of these two mapping efforts. The definitions of each classification
type are shown below. These are the bikeway and trail class types that show up on
the maps in this Plan.
Class I Bikeways - Typicalty catled bike paths, they provide for bicycte travel on paved
rights-of-way comptetely separated from any street or highway. These are
particularly popular with novice cyclists.

CHAPTER 3: BIKEWAY AND TRAILS PLAN
Programs
Safety Education
A bicycle safety education program wilt be encouraged as part of this Plan and would
teach bicycle safety to children, adults, and other groups that encounter bicyclists. A
specific curriculum geared for each audience, along with a handbook or other
literature, is recommended.
• Children. All children in public schools °. ��,; �
should go throu�h a bicycle safety program �y.�;
before they graduate. This should start at a
young age. In addition, bicycle safety - �
should be taught to students who are taking � �t ;E ,��'�w
drivers education classes at schooL This �"' � � .'�
should be part of the Safe Routes to School b.u �
programs. �'����; -
��� �p��;,���dA�r��' ,���
. Adults. A bicycle safety education µ `
component should also be available to adults `►
at employment sites, and on selected weekends for the general public. The safety
curriculum should educate both bicyclists and motorists.
• Other Groups. Safety education should be taught to others who come in to
contact with bicyclists such as motorists, bus drivers and local police.
• City and County Staff. Bicycle safety education can be incorporated into existing
training and orientations of local jurisdictionat staff that work with transportation
and planning. it should also include local police departments.
Promotion
A customizedBicycle Safety, Marketing, and Education Handbook could be developed
thatidentifies existing local and regional efforts and presents a standardized approach
that can be used by Coachella and Palo Verde Valley communities. Typical marketing
strategies inctude:
• Bike Fairs and Races. Events to promote Coachella and Palo Verde Valley bicycle
facitities, including fairs and races, can be organized to get people excited about
riding and familiarize them with the facilities.
• Employer Incentives. Local jurisdictions may work with major employers to
encourage bicycle commuting by their employees by coordinating promotional

CHAPTER 3: BIKEWAY AND TRAILS PLAN
events, and encouraging the provision of bicycle lockers and access to shower
facilities. Employers may to choose to give regular commuters new bicycles as an
incentive to ride. Bike-to-Work Week could be advertised and promoted as a week
where employees are encouraged to bike to work. Some people may start
bicycling to work regularly after participating in this annual event.
Hiking and Equestrian Trails
Our planning effort also produced a '� x�,�� ; �` ��,�� .' �x,�, `;, .
comprehensive network of hiking and ��`�'y�"ff�"��"K ��' �� � � '
,�, �� � � ,, . ,� .• ��� ,��c� �W,��
equestrian trails in the Coachella and Palo �``'� 4� °� �tl� 5 ' � �� � �^�`"`�;
�� �
Verde Valleys. The following maps display �"��Y �''��; n �' '� • ���,� '� ,� �,�
that network by those that exist, and those �h�� "
���
that are planned. Some of the trails are � �� `�� � .��- "� .�,,,' �
only for hiking or walking, while others are � " ��
primarily for equestrians. Some of them ,
also allow use by mountain bicycles. Every �'.,. -
trail has its own guidelines. Since no one G�`"` �''�' �
..•��h a �•Y �� �
to date has catalogued the permitted uses
� .- :..
of each trail, they are shown together. w" `_ ` � `
Moreover, some of these trails are narrow,
single-track earthen trails, while others are ,
wide and have undergone significant .,,�„,,;,
construction to make them flat, smooth L ' � �
and ideal for use. They have fencing, � �� M
signing and even equestrian parking in ', ;;' ,:�� �-
some places. Some of these have been � � �,� . �
improved with surfaces such as �,,. �,, �
decomposed granite. Some of the trails � �`
�:t�.:�` �
are used, but have not been much x.�� � �
improved. Some traverse private land, and -, �
others run over pubtic land. Again, since = �`'�' F '
no one has kept track of the different types � ��'" �� , -, - ..
of hiking and equestrian trails, they are '��`"'��` ' +� �`�
shown together.
The maps represent progressively more accurate trail alignments than shown on
previous maps because a variety of efforts have been undertaken to show them as
precisely as possible. Those in the northern Coachelta Valley are now quite accurate
as a result of the use of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) technology by the Coachella
Valtey Mountains Conservancy. Other proposed trails don't have precise atignments
yet because they haven't been planned to that level. Future planning efforts will
select exact trail atignments for these. The 2008 CVAG/SCAG mapping effort used
aerial photographyto map existing trails. The GIS work performed for this Plan
utilized topographical maps to place proposed traits in logical places.

CHAPTER 4: LOCAL BICYCLE PLANS
City of Palm Desert Bicycle Ptan
With a year 2009 poputation of 51,509(California Department of Finance), Palm Desert
is a multi-faceted community with College of the Desert, re�ional retail, government
a�encies, residential and resort uses. The City has a grid network of arterial streets
that connects to its two neighboring cities, Rancho Mirage and indian Wells, as well as
to the surrounding unincorporated areas, such as Bermuda Dunes and Thousand Palms.
Some of the main arterial streets in the network include Gerald Ford, Frank Sinatra,
and Fred Warin� Drives, Hovley Lane, Monterey and Portola Avenues, Cook Street, and
Highway 111 and SR-74. Most of Palm Desert's destinations lie along the arterial
street network.
Land Use
The map on page 91 shows the current and future land use patterns in the City of
Palm Desert. The City consists of low density residential, civic buitdin�s, regional
retail centers, and resorts uses with most of the commercial uses located along
Highway 111, Monterey Avenue and El Paseo. Some industrial uses are located along
Cook Street. College of the Desert is adjacent to the civic center and enrolls students
from around the Coachella Valtey. Palm Desert atso has art galleries and the Living
Desert Reserve. Future industrial and commercial development is planned near the I-
10 freeway in the north of the City, and residential development is planned for the
north central and eastern areas of Palm Desert. The University of California Riverside
and the California State University San Bernardino are developing extension campuses
at the intersection of Cook Street and Gerald Ford Drive.
Bi keways
Existin
Palm Desert currently has many existing bikeways. They total 54.8 miles in length.
Existing bikeways are listed in the following table.

Proposed
Palm Desert has proposed five bikeway projects to be included in this Plan divided
into top priority projects and other long-term projects. The projects are listed below
by priority. Project costs are based on past expenditures for bikeways throughout
California and from feedback received from our local jurisdictions. Costs for
individual projects will vary by location and complexity of the project.
City of Palm Desert Top Priority Projects
Class Street/Path From To Length (mi.) Estimated Cost
Mid-Valtey Bike Path

CVAG Non-Motorized Transportation Plan Update 86
CHAPTER 4: LOCAL BICYCLE PLANS
Although not shown on the maps, or in priority tables, a bike path along the
Whitewater River is a potential future project for the City. Much of the land along
the River is privately owned and constructing a bike path there would require
negotiation or a developer a�reement for this to happen.
The map on page 90 shows existing and proposed bikeways, bicycle parking and
amenities
Bicycle Parking
Existin
Palm Desert has identified several locations where bicycle parkin� facilities exist.
They are listed below.
• City Hall
• College of the Desert
• California State University San Bernardino extension campus
• University of Riverside extension campus
• The Living Desert
• Several tocations along El Paseo
• Monterey Shore Plaza shopping center
. Entrepreneur and Enfield Lanes
• Post Office
• Hovley and Washington Street
• Waring Shopping Center
• Palm Desert Town Center
• All schools
• All parks
Proposed
Bicycle parking will be added at College of the Desert as proposed by the College.
Bicycle parking wilt atso be added at the Portola Community Center. The City also
has a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) ordinance that requires bicycte
parking at 5 percent of auto parkin� spaces at new commercial developments.
Links to Other Transportation Modes
The City is served by SunLine Transit, which has bicycle racks on every bus in its fleet.
The otder SunLine racks hotd two bicycles, but the new state-of-the-art racks will
CVAG Non-Motorized Transportation Plan Update $7
CHAPTER 4: LOCAL BICYCLE PLANS
hold three bicycles per bus and are very convenient to use for the bicyclist. No
transit stations or park-and-ride facilities currentty exist in the City.
Bike racks and/or bike lockers are proposed by SunLine Transit at selected bus stop
locations in the City. These are presented in the following tabte.

32 Dinah Shore Dr. Shoppers Ln. 938 WB FS Bike Rack
'Position refers to the near side(NS)or far side(FS)of the intersection
Bicycle Amenities
Showers and clothing lockers will be available to bicycle commuters at College of the
Desert. The City of Patm Desert Transportation Demand Management ordinance
requiresnew nonresidential developments to preserve two percent of the gross floor
area ratio for employee locker and shower facitities.
Bicycle Safety Education and Police Enforcement
The Police Department has a bicycle safety education program. Theyhave a full time
Public Information Officer that promotes bicycle safety issues to anyone who is
interested. Generally, the Department gives theprogram to etementary students
grades 4 through 7. They provide basic information about safe riding techniques and
the vehicte code. Parents are encouraged to attend so they can support the safety
message to their children. The Potice Department �ives out helmets to students that
do not have one.
The officer provides a helmet instruction course, and shows safety videos whenever
someone wants to view them. They typically show the videos at the Police Station.
The Police will visit schools to show the videos as well. The Police atso put on a
public safety fair once a year.
CVAG Non-Motorized Transportation Ptan Update 88
CHAPTER 4: LOCAL BICYCLE PLANS
Palm Desert is applying to become reco�nized by the Lea�ue of American Bicyclists as
a "Bicycle-Friendty Community." The Lea�ue has certified instructors in Palm Desert
who plan to go to schoots to host bicycle safety education events.
The Palm Desert Police Department enforces alt traffic laws, for bicycles and motor
vehicles as part of their regular duties. They ticket violators as they see them. This
includes bicyclists who break traffic laws, as well as motorists who disobey traffic
laws and make the cyclin� environment more dan�erous. The level of enforcement
depends on the availabitity of officers. The Police Department uses targeted
enforcement to encourage motorists and cyclists to share the road. The Police
Department also responds to particular needs and problems as they arise. In addition,
the Police Department dispatches a fleet of bicycle-mounted officers in the City.
These officers have had special training in bicycle safety and assist in enforcing traffic
laws.
Past Expenditures for Bicycle Facilities
Palm Desert received $2.3 million in Congestion Management and Air Quality funds for
the Mid-Valley Bike Path along the right-of-way next to the raitroad track parallel to I-
10. The City has funded bike lanes from its own Generat Fund, as well as from other
funds. Since 2001, approximately 23 miles of bike lanes have been added. The Potice
Department receives a grant that supports the cost of presentations at elementary
schools.
Future Financiat Needs
The City of Palm Deserthas the following future financial needs:
• Top Priority Bikeways: 9.7 miles, $9,700,000
• 2"d Priority Bikeways: 2.5, $155,000
• Total: 12.8 miles, $9,930,000
• Signing of the routes of Palm Desert Map: $75,000
• Total Capitat Financial Needs: $10,005,000
• Annual Class I Bike Path Maintenance: 10.2 miles, $32,314

4. Bike lanes should be striped with a solid white stripe of width at least 4 inches
and may be dashed up to 200 feet before the approach to an intersection. This
design of a dashed bike lane allows for its dual use as a right-turn pocket for
motor vehictes.
5. Stencils shalt also be used within the lane on the pavement that read "bike
lane" and include a stencit of a bicycle with an arrow showing the direction of
travel. See Figure 3 below.

Class III Bike Route Facilities Design Recommendations
Bike routes have been typicatly designated as simple signed routes along street
corridors, usually locat streets and collectors, and sometimes along arterials. With
proper route signage, design, and maintenance, bike routes can be effective in
guiding bicyclists along a route suited for bicycling without having enough roadway
space to provide a dedicated Class il bike lane. Class III Bike Routes can be designed
in a manner that encourages bicycle usage, convenience, and safety. There are a
variety of other improvements that can enhance the safety and attraction of streets
for bicyctists. Bike routes can become more useful when coupled with such techniques
as the fotlowing:
• Route, directional, and distance signage
• Wide curb lanes
• Sharrow stencils painted in the traffic lane alon� the appropriate path of where a
bicyclist would ride in the lane
• Accelerated pavement maintenance schedules
• Traffic signats timed and coordinated for cyclists (where appropriate)
• Traffic calming measures
CVAG Non-Motorized Transportation Plan Update 141
CHAPTER 7: DESIGN AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
The foltowing design guidelines should be used with the implementation of new Class
III Bike Route facilities in the CVAG region.
Proper "Bike Route" signage, as shown in Figure 5, should be posted after every
intersection along the route of the bikeway. This will inform bicyclists that the
bikeway facility continues and will alert motorists to the presence of bicyclists along
the route. Directional signage may accompany this sign as well to guide bicyctists
alon� the route.

Figure 5: Class III Bike Route Sign
This Plan recommends using the sharrow stencil as a way to enhance the visibility and
safety of new Class III Bike Route facilities. The stencit should be placed outside of
on-street vehicle parking to encourage cyclists to ride away from parked cars' open
doors. They should also be placed at one or two locations on every block.

CHAPTER 7: DESIGN AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
A numbered bike route network may be devised as a convenient way for bicyclists to
navigate through the valley much the way the numbered highway system �uides
motorists efficiently through the roadway network. This could be used on all classes
of bikeways. An example of a numbered bikeway sign is shown in Figure 7.
����
Figure 7: Numbered Bikeway Sign (MUTCD)
Destination signs add value to bike routes and assist cyclists to develop a mental map
of the route system. Arrows pointing to "Downtown," "Tedesco Park - 1.5 miles" or
"College of the Desert" should be a standard part of the bikeway network.
Destination si�ns should be placed at the intersection of bikeways to notify cyclists
where each bike route goes.
Signage
Bikeway signage should conform to the signage standards identified in the Manuat on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD, 2003) and the Caltrans Traffic Manual. These
documents �ive specific information on the type and location of signage for the
primary bikeway system. A full list of applicable on-street bikeway signage from the
MUTCD is shown in Table 4.
CVAG may want to add its own logo to give the bikeway signage a distinctive local
flavor as shown below in Figure 8. These samples were developed for the 2001 CVAG
Non-Motorized Transportation Plan.

Bicycle Parking
Bicycle parking is not standardized in any state or municipal code. However, there are
preferable types of secure bicycle accommodations available. Bicycle parking is a
critical component of the network and facilitates bicycle travel, especially for
commuting and utilitarian purposes. The provision of bicycle parking at every
destination ensures that bicyctists have a place to safely secure their mode of travel.
Elements of proper bicycle parking accommodation are outlined below.
1. Bike racks provide short-term parking. Bicycle racks should offer adequate
support for the bicycles and shoutd be easy to lock to. Figures 9 and 10 display
a common inverted-U design that does this. Figure 11 depicts a multi-bicycle
rack that works well.Figure 12 shows an innovative concept in which the bike
rack itsetf looks like a bicycte.

shopping centers, buildings, and other establishments where parking may not
be provided in an obvious tocation, such as near a front door.
PARKING
Figure 14: Bicycte Parking Sign (Caltrans)
4. Bicycle parking should be located close to the front door of buildings and retail
establishments in order to provide for the convenience, visibility, and safety of
those who park their bicycles.
5. Bicycle lockers should have informationat signage, ptacards, or stickers placed
on or immediately adjacent to them identifying the procedure for how to use a
locker. This information at a minimum should include the foltowing:
• Contact information to obtain a locker at City Halt or other administrating
establishment
• Cost (if any) for tocker use
• Terms of use
• Emergency contact information
CVAG Non-Motorized Transportation Plan Update 147
CHAPTER 7: DESIGN AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
6. Bicycte lockers should be labeled explicitly as such and shall not be used for
other types of storage.
7. Bicycle racks and storage tockers should be bolted tightly to the ground in a
manner that prevents their tampering.
Drainage Grates
Care must be taken to ensure that drainage grates are bicycle-safe. If not, a bicycle
wheel may fall into the slots of the grate causing the cyclist to tumbte. Replacing
existing grates or welding thin metal straps across the grate perpendicular to the
direction of travel is required to make them bicycle-safe. These should be checked
periodicatly to ensure that the straps remain in place. Grates with bars perpendicular
to the roadway must not be placed at curb cuts, because wheelchairs could also get
caught in the slot. Figure 15 shows the appropriate types of drainage grates that
should be used.

Loop Detectors
Loop detectors at signalized intersections should be desi�ned to detect when a
bicycle rides or stops over them. Loop detectors at the signalized intersections of
minor streets (minor arterials or collectors) should have priority when retrofitting
existing detectors where the minor approaches do not calt a green phase during every
signal cycle. However, in the long run alt signalized intersections should provide
loops of other detection device to detect cyclists to provide for enhanced seamtess
travel.

Hiking and Equestrian Trails
Trail Cross-Sections
The Riverside County Re�ional Park and Open-Space District has developed some
excellent Trail Devetopment Standards that provide design details on different types
of trails. Their Trail Development Standards include Class I bike paths as well as the
followin� sub-categories of hiking and equestrian trails:
• Combination Class I Bikeway/Regional Trait in urban and rural settings
• Regional Trait in urban and rural settings
• Regional Trail in Open Space Areas
• Community Trail
They include separate standards for each of these. The difference between Regional
Trails and Community Trails relates to who will maintain them. Regional trails in
urban and rural settings will be maintained by the Riverside County Regional Park and
Open-Space District or by the Riverside County Transportation and Land Management
Agency. Regional trails in open space areas will be maintained by the Riverside
County Regional Park and Open-Space District or by the a�ency adopting the open
space into its system. The Riverside County Regionat Park and Open-Space District
witl maintain community traits in open areas untit a locat entity can be estabtished.
Community traits atong roads witt be maintained by the Riverside County
Transportation and Land Management Agency until a local entity can be established.
Their standards also detail materials, easements, fencing, paving standards and other
features.
This document refers readers to these Trail Development Standards.
The City of La Quinta uses its own standard cross section for multipurpose trails.
Fi�ure 16 shows their standard. This standard represents a theme that other
jurisdictions may want to adopt. Or they may want to adopt their own or the
County's.

Trail signage provides critical information for users. Good signage is important to safe
trait use, informed trail use and convenience. Signa�e performs the following tasks:
• Directs users to the trail
• Directs users to crossing traits
• Instructs users as to where trails go
• Provides distances of destinations along the trails
• Instructs users as to the type of use that is legal and what is not (hiking, horseback
riding, mountain bicycting, walking dogs, etc.)

As described above, connected street networks are preferred. However, where cul-
de-sacs are used they can be made to work with bikeways and trails. In order for this
to function, the ends of the cul-de-sacs need to be connected to the bike paths and
trails that run in between. This can actually give bicyclists and trail users an
advantage over motorists for short trips. Figure 28 itlustrates this design.

InteQratin� Trails into the Street Network
The best way to integrate trails into new neighborhoods is to integrate them into the
street network. This way the trail right-of-way receives the same treatment as
another street with appropriate street crossings. Every section of street blocks would
have one of its streets in the north-south, and one in the east-west direction designed
as a bikeway and trail. The ideal cross-section would inctude a bike path and a
parallel hiking/equestrian trail. The ultimate crossing of two-lane streets would be
an appropriately sized roundabout. This would allow users to yietd and continue on
without stopping. Crossings of multi-lane streets should include the suitable
treatments with crossing islands, flashing LED beacons, zebra-stripe crosswalks and/or
signals where warranted. The graphics following in Figures 29 and 30 itlustrate how
this concept would work.
