Project Goals
Project Goals
The Downtown Point Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Connectivity Project intends to meet the following goals.
Improved Safety. Create safer pedestrian crossings, enhanced bus stops, connected bike routes, and clear wayfinding to reduce conflicts and improve comfort for everyone.
Connectivity. Design a bike and pedestrian link through Downtown Point Richmond completing the existing gap in routes between the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, Downtown Richmond, and the Ferry Terminal.
Community-Informed Design. Work with neighborhood and city residents, businesses, and organizations to shape improvements that reflect community needs.
The Downtown Point Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Connectivity Project reflects guidance provided by several existing adopted plans, including the City of Richmond ADA Transition Plan, the Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan, the General Plan, and the Ferry to Bridge to Greenway Plan.
The project will take a fresh look at existing conditions and community feedback to develop and test conceptual alternatives, preliminary design, and final design for the connection.
