from
Organizations
conditions
for
motor
vehicle,
bicycle,
and
pedestrian
travel,
as
well
as
for
public
transit.
The
subsection
on
bicycle
facilities
provides
an
overview
of
the
types
of
facilities
present
and
other
routes
accessible
by
bicyclists
that
do
not
contain
bicycle
facilities
due
to
the
gaps
in
coverage
within
the
study
area.
The
comment
lacks
documentation
to
support
the
assertion
that
bicycle
facilities
in
Brisbane
are
unsafe
and
dangerous,
nor
does
it
demonstrate
that
existing
conditions
will
be
adversely
impacted
by
development
within
the
Baylands.
For
clarity,
bicycle
lanes
physically
separated
from
traffic
are
termed
“bicycle
paths.”
Existing
bicycle
facilities
are
described
on
pages
4.N-19
through
4.N-22
of
the
Draft
EIR.
Class
II
(striped)
bicycle
lanes
are
provided
on
Tunnel
Avenue
(south
of
Lagoon
Road),
Lagoon
Road
and
Sierra
Point
Parkway;
Tunnel
Avenue
north
of
Lagoon
Road
is
a
designated
Class
III
(identified
by
signs)
bicycle
route.
There
are
also
various
multi-use
paths
provided
within
the
Baylands
site
at
Roundhouse
Circle,
Ice
House
Hill,
and
the
southeastern
portion
of
the
site.
In
response
to
this
comment,
the
Statewide
Integrated
Traffic
Records
System
database
was
consulted
to
determine
the
severity
of
bicycle
accidents
near
the
Baylands
site.
Over
the
seven-year
period
beginning
January
1,
2007
and
ending
December
31,
2013,
there
were
10
reported
bicycle
collisions
in
the
City
of
Brisbane.
None
were
within
the
Baylands
site.
Five
accidents
were
recorded
on
Bayshore
Boulevard
at
San
Bruno
Avenue
(2),
Industrial
Way
(1),
Old
County
Road
(1),
and
Guadalupe
Canyon
(1).
The
first
bullet
on
page
4.N-21
has
been
revised
to
read
as
follows:
Bayshore
Boulevard
provides
north-south
circulation
connecting
Brisbane
with
San
Francisco
to
the
north
and
South
San
Francisco
to
the
south.
Bayshore
Boulevard
is
striped
with
Class
II
bicycle
lanes
north
of
Geneva
Avenue
(within
the
San
Francisco
city
limits),
as
well
as
south
of
Geneva
Avenue
(within
Brisbane)
where
rumble
strips
are
installed
between
the
bikeway
and
outside
travel
lane.
Within
Brisbane,
relatively
high
travel
speeds
may
discourage
the
use
of
Brisbane
Bayshore
Boulevard
by
inexperienced
bicyclists.
