State Route 99 Corridor Bikeway Project (Project No. 50166)
The City proposes to construct an approximately 6.7-mile long contiguous bicycle facilities project generally paralleling the State Route 99 corridor that will be developed in two phases. Phase I will be completed within 12 months of commencement, and Phase II is planned for completion within three years, depending on funding. The ultimate bikeway alignment is comprised of a combination of Class I and Class II/III facilities commencing at Eaton Road to the north and traversing south to Southgate Avenue. The bikeway will be located on surface streets, drainage easements, and City parkland and will complete gaps between existing bicycle paths, lanes, and routes currently located primarily on the east-side of the State Route 99 right-of-way. Associated safety devices, including lighting, fencing, controlled crossings and median refuges, will be incorporated where appropriate. Questions regarding the environmental review for this project may be directed to Tracy R. Bettencourt, AICP – Senior Planner, Capital Project Services, who can be reached at (530) 879-6903 or via email at tbettenc@ci.chico.ca.us.
