Bicycle System Plan
City of Sandy Transportation System Plan
Bicycle System Plan Although Sandy currently lacks a comprehensive bikeway network, the City has the potential to create an excellent system despite challenges presented by topography. The Bicycle System Plan builds upon previous and on‐going planning efforts and reflects the input offered by City staff, stakeholder groups, and Sandy residents. The existing bicycle system and identified deficiencies can be referenced in the appendix (Technical Memorandum #2: Existing Conditions and Future Needs).
Recommended Bicycle Projects Described in Table 2 and depicted in Figure 3, the recommended bicycle system projects aim to fill system gaps and develop a more complete network. This list does not include new bike lanes or shoulders that would be constructed as part of the new roadway projects identified for the motor vehicle plan. Bike lanes are required on all new collector and arterial city streets. Projects that would include joint bicycle/pedestrian improvements (e.g., accessways and trails) are listed in the Pedestrian System Plan. It should be noted that future multi‐use path corridors depicted on the system map represent conceptual alignments It should be noted that future off‐road multi‐modal trails/transportation corridors depicted on the system map represent conceptual alignments and are shown for informational purposes. Additional routes, local trail connections, specific alignments and designs will be identified in the Parks Master Plan, which will be the guiding document for all off‐road multi‐modal trails/transportation corridors projects. In two instances, multi‐use trails and road alignments are shown in approximately the same location. Conflicts between overlapping trail and street alignments will be a matter of timing. If the trail is built prior to street construction, the street design will accommodate the existing trail and its users. If the street is built first then trail planners may choose to use sidewalks for some or all of the trail alignment or choose to link the trail to the pedestrian network at certain locations. The projects shown represent the bicycle component of the “Preferred Plan”, which consists of all transportation improvements identified to support growth and connectivity needs through the year 2029. Projects assumed for “Near Term” implementation, which represent a subset of the Preferred Plan that aligns with anticipated funding, are listed in Chapter 4. A further challenge to the implementation of bicycle lanes on Sandy’s streets is limited right‐of‐way and adverse topography. In these situations, an alternative to widening the existing street or right‐of‐way or reduction or elimination of parking along some sections of road could be to add “Shared Lane Markings” as per the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, 2009 (MUTCD) which indicate to bicyclists and motor vehicles that the lane shall be shared (Figure 3). In locations where it is only feasible to construct bike lanes in one direction, priority should be given to at least providing bike lanes in the uphill direction (where applicable) where the speed differential between motorists and bicyclists would be greater.

City of Sandy Transportation System Plan In addition to the projects listed in Table 2, the City of Sandy will take the following actions to further encourage and enhance biking as a viable mode of travel. A. The City will continue to require bicycle parking for multi‐family, retail, office, and institutional developments per the Sandy Municipal Code (Section 17.98.20). B. The City will work with the School District to improve the quality of bicycle parking facilities at Sandy schools. C. The City will seek opportunities to coordinate transit improvements with bicycle network improvements that enhance the accessibility of transit stops. D. The City will support the establishment of regional bicycle connections such as:
A linkage from Dubarko Road to Colorado Road over a series of connections to south Boring and the Springwater Trail. This will eventually be replaced by a direct connection to the Springwater trail from the proposed Tickle Creek Trail extension to the western UGB. A link to Estacada from Dubarko Road via Bornstedt Road and Wildcat Mountain Road.
