Bike & Ped
During the first 20-years of the Measure K program, about $7.6 million helped jurisdictions pay for bicycle projects throughout San Joaquin County. These projects included planning, developing, improving, and building bicycle lanes and other amenities. In November 2006, San Joaquin County voters renewed Measure K for 30 more years. In renewing Measure K, voters also expanded the funding program to include pedestrian and Safe Routes to School improvement projects. These projects benefit everyone by increasing mobility equity and connectivity, improving safety for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists, encouraging active transportation, and reducing dependency on motorized vehicles, which cuts greenhouse gas emissions to improve air quality. In Fiscal Year 2024-25, Measure K contributed nearly $3.5 million to projects in San Joaquin County.

Benjamin Holt Drive Safety Improvements - San Joaquin County
San Joaquin County’s Benjamin Holt Drive Safety Improvements project included installing a new high-visibility pedestrian crosswalk at the corner of Benjamin Holt Drive and Leesburg Place. Measure K helped pay for the construction that was completed in Fiscal Year 2024-25.
California Street Road Diet Project - Stock
ton
The California Street Road Diet project improved travel for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists by reducing a four-lane arterial to two travel lanes and a center left-turn lane along California Street between Alpine Avenue and Eighth Street. This allows for buffered and separated bicycle lanes and on-street parking along the section of road. This project also included bike route signage along Eighth Street from California Street to El Dorado Street. Sections of curbs, gutters and sidewalks, and signals were improved or replaced in addition to the bike lanes. In all, four miles of bicycle amenities were added along California and Eighth streets, which accommodates all modes of travel as envisioned by the city’s Bicycle Master Plan. The project is completed and a ribbon-cutting ceremony was in October 2024.
Central Stockton Road Diet - Stockton
Measure K is helping to make the Central Stockton Road Diet project in Stockton possible. The project will create backbone bicycle connections, or a core network of principal routes that connect major destinations and neighborhoods, in Central Stockton. Bike lanes will be added to Monte Diablo and Ryde avenues, and Acacia, West Fremont and North Madison streets, with buffered bike lanes along segments of West Fremont Street. Improvements include signage, striping, and slurry seal along Fremont Street and North Madison Street. Improvements on some of the streets will give bicyclists their own lane for travel and enhance safety for pedestrians, bikers, and drivers. It will slightly narrow travel lanes, which will calm traffic for all users and residents, while maintaining current vehicle traffic levels. The City of Stockton’s video on the project can be found on YouTube.
East Schulte Safety and Multimodal Community Corridor - Tracy
The City of Tracy is still in the early planning stages of the MacArthur phase of the East Schulte Safety and Multimodal Community Corridor project. Measure K provided the city with local matching funds for the San Joaquin County Regional Active Transportation Program. This project will widen MacArthur Drive between Mount Diablo Avenue and Schulte Road, and provide six feet of sidewalk and bike lanes. Combined with the addition of new bike lanes, the project will enhance mobility for pedestrians and cyclists in the area.
Garden Acres Sustainable Communities Plan & Kennedy Complete Streets Plan - San Joaquin County
Measure K helped cover the costs for two plans to help San Joaquin County make improvements. The Garden Acres Sustainable Communities Plan to guide future transportation improvements to enhance mobility, promote walking, biking, and public transit, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to improve air quality. The plan recommends several conceptual transportation improvements along key corridors in the Garden Acres community, including bike lanes, shared-use bicycle routes, sidewalks, separated walking paths, and other improvements to public transportation infrastructure. The Kennedy Complete Streets Plan aimed to increase safety, accessibility, and connectivity for all ages and abilities throughout the Kennedy transportation network. This plan evaluated various alternatives for proposed improvements to fulfill these goals. Recommended improvements were identified based on an alternatives’ evaluation, best practices, gap closure and safe routes to school, cost effectiveness, and public and stakeholder input. The San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors approved both plans in Fiscal Year 2024-25.
California Street Road Diet Project - Stockton
The Lodi Citywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Enhancement project is in the design phase and will provide safety features for pedestrians and bicyclists. Measure K funds are making this project possible and will be used to buy safety equipment such as rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFB) and construction. The project will install 12 curb ramps on streets near George Washington School. The project will also install seven RRFBs and bicycle amenities on Turner Road at Loma Drive and Laurel Avenue, Lodi Avenue at Washington Street, Stockton Street at Poplar Street, Cherokee Lane at Elm Street, and Elm Street at Loma Drive and Pacific Avenue. The curb ramps will improve accessibility, while the RRFBs will provide crossing safety enhancements for bicyclists and pedestrians.
Main Street Complete Streets - Stockton
Measure K helped the City of Stockton prepare the precise Main Street Complete Streets plan and environmental documents for Main Street from Hunter Street to the State Route 99 overcrossing and for Market Street from Center Street to Main Street. The road plan provides a vision for these streets that enhances safety and accommodates all modes of travel. When completed, the improvements will include fewer vehicle travel lanes, added bicycle lanes, repaired sidewalks, upgraded traffic signals and streetlights, two roundabouts installed, and landscaped parklets, or a sidewalk extension to provide more space and amenities for people using the street. The city is using the roundabouts to improve safety at intersections and parklets to improve aesthetics and make walking and cycling more inviting along the corridor.
Mossdale Community Sidewalk Repairs - Lathrop
Measure K funds were used in the design and construction phases that provided new, safer sidewalks in the Mossdale community. The work included removing damaged sidewalk and installation of new 5-foot-wide sidewalks and rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs) at the midblock pedestrian crossing at Village Avenue and McKee Boulevard. RRFBs are highly affective in improving pedestrian safety at Village Avenue and McKee Boulevard intersection. This supports the goals of Vision Zero and Complete Streets policies, and is particularly well-suited for high-pedestrian activity and limited traffic control. This system is solar-powered, uses renewable energy, and contributes to overall energy resilience.
