Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan Phase I

Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan Phase I Implementation Project

The Town of Atherton has retained a consultant to design and implement projects from the Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan. The Town is looking to construct the Class III routes first. Phase 1 improvements will include the placement of bike route signs and shared lane markings (sharrows) on the pavement. These improvements will help inform users that the routes are designated for shared use of bicycles and vehicles. Below is a construction schedule list and scope of work.
