About the North Fremont Bike and Pedestrian Access and Safety Improvements Project
The North Fremont Bike and Pedestrian Access and Safety Improvements Project is helping to transform North Fremont into a true multi-modal corridor, providing safe access to bicyclists and pedestrians on a vital link between residential, commercial, educational, and community facilities. There are plans to extend the bicycle lanes further to Canyon Del Rey and beyond in the future.
This project included the construction of Class IV protected bicycle lanes adjacent to the medians of North Fremont, and includes bicycle signals and bike protected intersections at Casa Verde, Airport/Dela Vina, Ramona, and Casanova.
Improvements to the intersections included curb extensions to reduce pedestrian crossing length, increase pedestrian visibility, and provide protected areas for bicyclists entering and exiting the Class IV bike lanes. The curb extensions also include Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant curb ramps and Audible Pedestrian Signals.
