Bear Creek Road Design Concepts
Budget
$2.7 million is allocated for Bear Creek Road, between Cessna Drive and the east urban growth boundary, from the 2020 Transportation GO Bond.
Concept A: Shared Use Path on North Side
- No roadway widening, generally retains existing roadway pavement width.
- Converts the north side sidewalk into a shared use path for people walking and bicycling; also fills gaps to create a continuous path. Shared use path width varies due to existing right-of-way constraints.
- Does not preclude a future full “build out” with protected walk/bike facilities on the south side.
- Cost: $2.4 million

Concept B: Shared Use Paths on Both Sides
- Converts the north side sidewalk into a shared use path for people walking and bicycling; also fills gaps to create a continuous path.
- Minor roadway widening to provide space for a street-level shared use path on the south side. Shared use path width varies due to existing right-of-way constraints.
- Does not preclude a future full “build-out” with raised walking and bicycling facilities on the south side.
- Cost: $4.5 million
- Concept B Roll Plot
Concept C: Raised Protected Bike Lanes with Sidewalks or Shared Use Paths on both sides
- Complete roadway reconstruction to provide raised protected bike lanes and sidewalks or shared use paths. People on foot and bicycle each have their own dedicated space.
- Significant ROW impacts and construction costs beyond the project’s budget.
- Cost: $17.6 million
