City of Oxnard | Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Additional Discussion – Bicycle Boulevards This section describes various treatments commonly used for developing Bicycle Boulevards. The treatments fall within four main “application levels” based on their level of physical intensity, with Level 1 representing the least physically-intensive treatments that could be implemented at relatively low impact on roadways that already function well for bicyclists. Identifying appropriate application levels for individual Bicycle Friendly Street corridors provides a starting point for selecting appropriate site-specific improvements. Four Bicycle Friendly Street application levels are as follows: • Level 1: Signage • Level 2: Pavement markings See Sections 3.4.3. and 3.4.6-3.4.8 • Level 3: Intersection treatments See Sections 5-3.4.8 • Level 4: Traffic calming See Section 5 and 3.4.7 It should be noted that corridors targeted for higher-level applications would also receive relevant lower-level treatments (as illustrated below). For instance, a street targeted for Level 3 applications should also include Level 1 and 2 applications as necessary. It should also be noted that some applications may be appropriate on some streets and inappropriate on others. In other words, it may not be appropriate or necessary to implement all “Level 2” applications on a Level 2 street. Furthermore, several treatments could fall within multiple categories as they achieve multiple goals. To identify and develop specific treatments for each Bicycle Friendly Street, the City could involve the bicycling community and neighborhood groups. Further analysis and engineering work may also be necessary to determine the feasibility of some applications. Alta Planning + Design | A-31
Appendix A | Design Guidelines A.4.6. Bicycle Routes/Bicycle Boulevards at Local Intersections – Mini Roundabout Design Summary Design Example Design varies; see below and following pages for additional discussion. Mini Roundabout Discussion Roundabouts may be implemented where the Bicycle Friendly Street intersects a local street or even a collector if the ADT is less than 2,000. Signage and striping treatments should be implemented based on traffic volumes and may be appropriate for local/local intersections with very low ADT, while increased signage and splitter striping may be appropriate for larger ADTs and intersections with collector streets. Mini roundabouts can be landscaped with drought tolerant plants that do not impact sight lines for added visual impact and traffic calming effect. Treatment should be designed with the input of Oxnard Police and Fire Departments, City Traffic Engineer, Gold Coast Transit, and the affected school district(s). Advantages: • Reduces through bicycle and cross vehicle conflicts • Calms traffic overall in all directions • Eliminates unwarranted stop signs Disadvantages: • Moderate cost (approx $20,000 per intersection) • Required approval of neighborhood for installation • Required neighborhood support and adoption for maintenance of landscaping if installed Guidance • California MUTCD • Caltrans Highway Design Manual (Chapter 1000) • AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities Berkeley Bicycle Boulevard Design Tools and Guidelines • FHWA Roundabouts: An Informational Guide A-32 | Alta Planning + Design
