Draft San Rafael bicycle and pedestrian plan proposes new pedestrian priority network, equity criteria and design guidelines

Staff presented a draft update to the Citywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan that adds a pedestrian-priority network, new design guidelines, and an equity criterion to project prioritization. Public commenters urged stronger emphasis on regional pathways, class 4 separated bikeways downtown, and clearer implementation timelines; staff aim to return a final plan to Council in August.
