The purpose of the Commuter Bicycle Corridor Study for the City of San Jose is to develop trails and paths along the creeks and rivers to facilitate commuting by bicycle into downtown San Jose and to North Jose. The possible locations for these paths and trails include Los Gatos Creek (from Leigh Avenue to Santa Clara Street), Guadalupe River (from the terminus of the existing bicycle path along SR 87 at the Tamien Rail station to the Children's Discovery Museum and from Airport Parkway to SR 237), and Coyote Creek (from Hellyer Park to SR237). A literature research and interviews with City and County staff were conducted to identify the status of bicycle projects along the selected creek corridors. Then, fieldwork was conducted to identify physical and environmental constraints to bicycle trail projects on the segments with our existing and/or planned facilities. Preliminary alignments were selected based on the identified constraints. In some locations, on -street alignments were recommended. The preliminary alignments were divided into sub -segments, or reaches, for mapping and discussion purposes. These reaches were submitted to City staff. Priority reaches were selected for refinement in the second phase of the study. Phase II will include preliminary engineering, cost estimates, and environmental documentation for the highest reaches.

As the prime consultant on the project, Fehr & Peers created a process to incorporate public input toward a broad vision for the system while also providing detailed analysis of the transit, traffic, bicycle, and pedestrian implications of various alternatives. Downtown streets represent some of the most important public places in Denver and considerable effort was spent debating and defining the best allocation and use of this right of way — from building face to building face. Notable outcomes related to multimodal facility design included a minimum unobstructed pedestrian space on all streets, a "promenade" pedestrian concept on 14th Street, and specific recommendations for transit and bicycle streets.

Mason Street Transportation Corridor — Fort Collins, CO Fehr & Peers Associates assisted the Felsburg Holt and Ulevig Team in developing preliminary engineering designs for bicycleway and pedestrian facilities in the Mason Street Corridor in Fort Collins, Colorado. The Mason Street Corridor is an active freight rail corridor adjacent to Colorado State University where a bus rapid transit and non -motorized travel corridor have been proposed. Facility design services for the corridor include shared and separate multi -use pathways, grade separated crossings, crossing treatments at major arterial roadways, and facility integration with bus rapid transit and existing transit facilities.

This study looked at traversing the island and continuing the trail from Yerba Buena Island to San Francisco. Fehr & Peers developed design criteria for the proposed multi -use trail/maintenance road and also developed trail alignment concepts for accessing the Bridge from Yerba Buena Island and reaching City streets from the San Francisco Bridge anchorage, roughly 200 feet above street level. Criteria included trail widths and separation from fixed objects, curve radii around bridge towers, maximum grades, rail heights, surface tolerances and belvedere dimensions. These criteria were used by the structural engineering team in the development of the trail design for the suspension span bridge. Fehr & Peers also worked closely with Caltrans on key issues such as hours of operation, emergency access to the trail, and separation of users. The issue of user separation was ultimately resolved by adding four additional feet to the two 12-foot paths (one on each side of the trail for weight symmetry on the suspension bridge) between the Anchorage, where evaluators to the street would be provided in addition to a 500+-foot ramp, and the first bridge tower. This additional width was added because higher volumes of pedestrians are expected in the first segment as people would go to the bridge and walk out to the first tower for the views to downtown and Alcatraz to the north and to Mission Bay and Pacific Bell Park to the south.
