The City of Pasadena had prepared a draft bicycle <br />Engineer (PTOE) <br />transportation plan that featured conventional Class II bike lanes and <br />Class III bike routes throughout their city, but residents and City Council <br />Professional Transportation <br />members requested that higher-level bikeway facilities be considered. <br />Planner (PTP) <br />KOA Corporation performed a bikeway analysis and feasibility <br />project that included bikeway concepts for 28 miles of separated <br />PROFESSIONAL <br />bike lanes, or cycle tracks, and 10 miles of bicycle boulevards. Mr. <br />AFFILIATIONS <br />Okitsu prepared designs of the separated bike lanes and led the <br />Institute of Transportation <br />design of the bike boulevard concepts. The recommended bikeways <br />Engineers, International Director <br />were analyzed for traffic and parking impacts. Cost estimates were <br />generated for the project alternatives. Mr. Okitsu made a presentation <br />Registered Traffic Engineers of <br />of the bike boulevard recommendations at a public workshop and city <br />America, Founder and President <br />commissioners meeting. In a later stage of the project, KOA updated the <br />California Legislative Council for <br />plan to become the final bicycle transportation plan for the city. <br />Professional Engineers, Director <br />City of Wildomar Grand Avenue and Clinton Keith Road Bikeway <br />UCLA School of Engineering and <br />Design, Wildomar, CA <br />Applied Sciences, Instructor for <br />Project Engineer. Mr. Okitsu produced conceptual layouts for bicycle <br />undergraduate transportation <br />facilities on a 5.2 -mile corridor along Grand Avenue and Clinton Keith <br />engineering courses <br />Road through the City of Wildomar. The concepts recommended of a <br />mixture of Class I bike paths, Class II bike lanes, Class III bike routes, <br />and Class IV cycle tracks, and included a roundabout and bike boxes. <br />Most of the recommended features have proceded to implementation. <br />BOULEVARD -DESIGN -SERVICES <br />31 <br />•18-07.2 <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />25G-86 <br />
