Santa Clara County Bike Plan Update (2018)
David worked as a GIS Lead and Planner as part of the VTA’s Countywide Bicycle Plan Update. During the project he led and conducted key planning analysis tasks such as a countywide level of traffic stress analysis, the development of a planned bike network database, estimates of the plan’s implementation costs, and a regional prioritization analysis that considered safety, equity, and potential bicycle ridership.
The plan’s landing page and final draft are availability for public review.
This connected island analysis identifies where there are contiguous and non-separated sections of low-stress network across Santa Clara County.
There were examples through our the planning process where the bike plan's LTS network were used to communicate potential differences in access using the low-stress network vs. all streets.
To select priority Cross County Bicycle Corridors (CCBCs), a GIS based prioritization process was used to identify corridors that would best advance the Countywide Bicycle Plan’s vision of a safe, convenient, and connected network of bikeways that serve major destinations.
