City of Escondido Bicycle Master Plan

The City of Escondido Bicycle Master Plan’s key tasks are to identify existing circulation patterns for bicyclists, identify problem areas and safety concerns, and to develop a Bikeway Master Plan that will be a tool for further implementation of bikeways throughout Escondido. The Bicycle Master Plan includes California Department of Transportation bikeway standards, conceptual designs for bicycle paths and trails, maps of existing and proposed bicycle facilities, a phasing plan for improvements, funding sources, and an implementation plan.

Preparation of the Bicycle Master Plan Update was conducted with a working group of city staff members consisting of planners, engineers, and GIS professionals. The group was directed by community input received at a public workshop held in January 2007, as well as from surveys and Internet responses. The plan identifies a bicycle facility network, both on the road (Class II and III) and off-road (Class I). Upon completion, the plan will create a comprehensive network of bicycle lanes, routes, and paths.
