Bike & Pedestrian Master Plan
The City of Pleasanton is a pleasant, thriving, healthy, sustainable community that strives to meet the needs of all its citizens in an environmentally sensitive manner. Walking and bicycling for recreation, fitness or as a means of transportation requires safe and accessible infrastructure. The quality of the infrastructure for walking and bicycling contributes to the overall quality of life in the city by encouraging active living and reducing automobile traffic with its associated noise, pollution, congestion, and global environmental impact. The purpose of the Pleasanton Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan is to make the city as pedestrian and bicycle friendly as possible to encourage people of all ages, abilities and means to walk and/or bike.
This Plan creates a guide for achieving a comprehensive system of bicycle routes, pedestrian routes, trails, and related facilities that will result in a safe and convenient circulation system for pleasant, active travel. It addresses goals, policies, standards, funding strategies, education and intermodal linkages throughout Pleasanton. The plan provides prioritized lists of specific projects for implementation of a system with a fair balance among all modes of travel.
2026 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update
The City of Pleasanton is updating its Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan to help shape the future of walking, biking, and rolling in Pleasanton. This update builds on the plan adopted in 2018 and will include completed projects, current community needs, and new ideas in street design.
The updated plan will guide Pleasanton’s pedestrian and bicycle improvements over the next five years. It aims to make walking and biking safer, more comfortable, and more accessible for people of all ages and abilities. The plan also focuses on better connections to Downtown, schools, parks, transit, and neighborhoods.
