Attachment Subject: Bike Plan 2025 and Trail Network Annual Update Page 1 Appendix F Maintenance and Operations On-Street Bikeways A major challenge that the City faces in implementing its on-street bikeways network is competing uses within constrained public right-of-way. In many locations, the combination of high demand for on-street parking, frequent driveways, and bikeways results in residents and businesses placing yard waste, recycling, and trash out for collection in ways that violate set-out requirements in the San José Municipal Code. As the City expands its bikeways infrastructure, concerns have increased regarding debris, waste bins, and yard trimming collection blocking on-street bikeways. Staff in the Environmental Services Department (ESD) and DOT are actively coordinating solutions to these concerns. ESD launched the Reflective Sticker Project, in partnership with DOT, in fall 2025 to enhance cart visibility, reduce collision risks, and provide proper set-out instructions through the installation of reflective educational stickers on residential and commercial waste collection carts along six corridors. Locations were selected in coordination with DOT and the...
