After Study for the Richmond San-Rafael Bridge and Sir Francis Drake Pilots (Phase II)

– Francois Dion, Principal Investigator

About this Project

Evaluation of impacts associated with the pilot multi-use path that was opened across the upper deck of Richmond-San Rafael bridge in November 2019 and the pilot modifications that were made to the bike path running across the Sir Francis Drake off-ramp overpass during the summer of 2020. Specific elements evaluated include the use of paths by cyclists and pedestrians, impacts on westbound traffic conditions, impacts on incidents and incident responses, and impacts on maintenance activities. These elements are to be used by Caltrans at the end of the project to determine whether the changes should be kept, in whole or in part.
