FISCAL IMPACT:
There will be no impact to the County General Fund. The estimated project cost is $372,000, funded by State Transportation
Improvement Program$311,000, and by Local Gas Tax Funds $62,000.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AND BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this project is to close gaps in the Delta DeAnza Trail along Bailey Road. The proposed project will
construct improvements to better facilitate bicycle and pedestrian traffic and provide an Americans with Disability Act
(ADA)compliant route between the Delta DeAnza trail segment,north of State Route 4, and the Bay Point BART station.
The Delta DeAnza Trail is a multi-purpose trail connecting east and central Contra Costa County, and is used for
commuting and recreational purposes. The project consists of constructing Class II facilities, consisting of 5-foot wide bike
lanes, on both sides of Bailey Road, from the existing northern trail segment, south to the eastbound SR4 off-ramp
intersection. A Class II facility consists of a bike lane with a minimum curb lane width of 5-feet, with posted peak hour
parking prohibition and appropriate signage and striping. On the west side of the roadway, (in addition to the Class 11
facility)where there is an existing sidewalk, a bicycle/pedestrian path will be constructed, widening the sidewalk to provide
an 8 to 10-foot wide bicycle/pedestrian facility. This bicycle/pedestrian path will require the removal or relocation of
obstacles, such as utility poles, street lighting, fire hydrants and magazine racks. The project will also include a pedestrian
actuated traffic signal approximately 150 feet north of the Bailey Road/Canal Road intersection. Right-of-way acquisition
from the church located at the northwest corner of Bailey Road and Canal Road will be required. Other trail enhancements
include pedestrian lighting for the section of trail near Ambrose Park, safety lighting and possible surveillance camera and
emergency call box installation at the tunnel under-crossing of the westbound SR4 off-ramp, and directional signing for the
entire project length. The trail will remain open to cyclists and pedestrians during construction. Traffic flow will be
maintained during the project since there are four lanes at the project site, and the majority of the work will not be in the
roadway. Real property transactions and utility relocations may be necessary in support of the project.
This Project is located in the central County area near Bay Point.
The project consists of minor alteration of existing bicycle/pedestrian facilities,involving negligible expansion of use beyond
that previously existing. The project will not result in the removal of any scenic resource.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Delay in approving the project will result in a delay of design and construction and may jeopardize funding.

Bailey Road. The proposed project will construct improvements to better facilitate bicycle and
pedestrian traffic and provide an Americans with Disability Act (ADA) compliant route between the
Delta DeAnza trail segment, north of State Route 4, and the Bay Point BART station. The Delta
DeAnza Trail is a multi-purpose trail connecting east and central Contra Costa County, and is used
for commuting and recreational purposes.
The project consists of constructing Class II facilities, consisting of 5-foot wide bike lanes, on both
sides of Bailey Road, from the existing northern trail segment, south to the eastbound SR4 off-ramp
intersection. A Class II facility consists of a bike lane with a minimum curb lane width of 5-feet, with
posted peak hour parking prohibition and appropriate signage and striping. On the west side of the
roadway, (in addition to the Class II facility) where there is an existing sidewalk, a bicycle/pedestrian
