Current Projects
Mini Street Sweeper Purchase
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) provides annual funding through Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 3 for bicycle and pedestrian improvements. In addition to projects, the funds may be used for maintenance of a Class I shared-use path and Class IV separated bikeways or the purchase of maintenance equipment for exclusive use on Class I and/or Class IV facilities. The purchase of a mini sweeper is included in the eligible expenditures as maintenance equipment.
At the March 24, 2025, BPTC meeting the committee recommended bringing the application forward to City Council for the purchase of the Multihog ECV 350 mini street sweeper for $312,345. The City Council will review the request to apply for the TDA Article funds at the May 6, 2025, meeting.
Pleasanton Travel Action Plan
The City of Pleasanton received a federal Safe Streets 4 All (SS4A) Grant to develop a safety action plan: Pleasanton Travel Action Plan (PTAP). The PTAP and the SS4A aim is to help prevent roadway deaths and serious injuries for all roadway users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, public transportation, motorists, and micro mobility users. The PTAP will also satisfy eligibility requirements for future federal and state funding transportation funding opportunities, such as the Highway Safety Improvement Program, One Bay Area Grant, Active Transportation Program and SS4A Implementation grants.
Valley Avenue at Northway Road Traffic Signal Installation
In January 2025, the new traffic signal at the intersection of Valley Avenue and Northway Road, adjacent to Harvest Park Middle School was activated and is operational. The project also included new concrete curb extensions at the southwest and southeast corners and improved crosswalk accessibility. This project will improve traffic safety and efficiency for students, pedestrians, cyclists and motorists traveling through the area.
This project is now complete.
I-680/Sunol Boulevard Interchange Project
The goals of this project are to work with Caltrans to provide congestion relief, operational safety improvements and improve bicycle facilities through the interchange. The City is the lead agency and is partnering with Caltrans for project design. Caltrans signed the environmental Document (Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration) in July 2024 and the final project report was finalized in August 2024. Final project design is nearly complete with an anticipated signed set of plan documents in August of 2025. There is a construction funding shortfall and the City is exploring grant funding opportunities to close the construction funding gap.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update
The Pleasanton Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan requires an update every five years to revise the project priority list and allows the City to compete for State Bicycle Transportation Account and other regional, state and federal funds. In addition, the update will account for recent developments, infrastructure changes, community needs, and the current best practices in bicycle and pedestrian planning.
City Council approved a consultant contract with Hexagon Transportation Consultants on March 18th, 2025. The project kickoff meeting will be held on April 28, 2025, at the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Trails Committee (BPTC) meeting. The BPTC will serve as the steering committee for the project. Project completion is anticipated in June of 2026 (14 months for completion) and will include several opportunities for public input. The project website will be linked here as soon as it is created.
West Las Positas Boulevard Corridor Improvement Plan
The West Las Positas Boulevard Corridor Plan will create a new vision for the corridor, featuring an all ages and abilities bikeway network and improvements to pedestrian facilities. This project has been combined with the West Las Positas reconstruction project. The West Las Positas Boulevard Corridor Improvement Plan was approved by City Council on November 15, 2022. On July 16, 2024, City Council adopted engineering recommendations to proceed with 100% design for Phase 1 construction. The project is at the 95% design phase with bid ready construction plans ready in August 2025.
Background
The City of Pleasanton adopted an update to the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan in 2018. The updated Master Plan includes provisions to make the city more pedestrian and bicycle friendly by adopting a low-stress “all ages and abilities” infrastructure that can be used by the entire population. The Master Plan identifies the West Las Positas Boulevard corridor as the highest priority corridor for pedestrian and bicycle improvements. The Pleasanton City Council elevated the West Las Positas corridor improvements to a high-priority project in 2019 and reaffirmed its priority in 2021.
The City Council also prioritized the reconstruction of West Las Positas to fix the uneven surface along the roadway in 2021. The two high-priority projects were combined into a single project titled: THE WEST LAS POSITAS MULTIMODAL RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT.
The pedestrian and bicycle components of the West Las Positas Multimodal Reconstruction Project were developed with extensive public input and endorsed by the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Trails Committee in December 2019 and by City Council in 2022. At the November 15, 2022 City Council meeting, staff was authorized to develop early phase (35% of final) design of West Las Positas and detailed cost estimates that aided the development of construction phasing and implementation. Two alternatives, short-term “quick build” and long-term “ultimate build” were developed for the multimodal concept implementation. The updated cost estimates for West Las Positas Multimodal Corridor improvements significantly exceeded the available funding. On July 18, 2024, City Council adopted engineering recommendations to proceed with Phase1 of construction to address the immediate roadway improvement needs within the available budget and fulfill the grant funding obligation. Phase 1 of construction will be implemented as follows:
- 1-A (Foothill Road to I-680): Perform scheduled roadway resurfacing as part of 2025/2026 Annual Street Resurfacing Program
- 1-B (Willow Road to Stoneridge Drive): Complete detailed design for “ultimate build” roadway reconstruction.
- 1-C (Hopyard Road to Willow Road): Complete detailed design “ultimate build” with optional construction in Summer 2026.
PHASE I-SCHEDULE
Phase | Segment | 100% Design | State’s Authorization | Bid | Award | Construction Start | Construction Completion | |
1-A | Foothill Road to I-680 | Mar-FY25 | N/A | April 2025 | May 2025 | Jul-2025 | Oct-2025 | |
1-B | Willow to Stoneridge Dr | Jul-FY25 | Nov-FY25 | Jan 2026 | Mar 2026 | May-2026 | Apr-2027 | |
1-C | Willow to Stoneridge Dr | Jul-FY25 | Nov-FY25 | Jan 2026 | Mar 2026 | May-2026 | Apr-2027 |
Remaining segments on W. Las Positas to be monitored and be programmed for future implementation when funding become available.
