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 improving, planning, developing, 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 and improves air quality.

California Street Road Diet Project – Stockton
Located on California Street between Alpine Avenue and Eighth Street, this project is receiving Measure K funds to help reduce vehicle travel lanes from four to two and install a center left-turn lane, bicycle lanes, sidewalks, Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) ramp improvements, and traffic signals and bike route signate. The project will include buffered and separated bicycle lanes and on-street parking where possible. Measure K is contributing to the construction of this project that will improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists.
Class II Bikeway to ACE Station – Lathrop
Lathrop used Measure K funding in Fiscal Year 2023-24 to help improve mobility and connectivity by building 4.2 miles of bikeway lanes from Harlan Road, east to D’Arcy Parkway, northeast on Yosemite Avenue, and left on Shideler Parkway to the Altamont Corridor Express Lathrop/Manteca Station. The ACE Lathrop/Manteca Station links to bus service and rail service to the San Francisco Bay Area and Stockton. The project now connects multiple bus and rail transit facilities, commercial businesses, and job centers. The project enhances active transportation through biking, which reduces vehicle miles traveled, traffic congestion and greenhouse gas emissions to improve air quality. Active transportation such as walking, biking and skateboarding can also improve access to economic opportunity and increase physical activity to improve general health.
Country Club Boulevard Complete Streets Corridor Plan – San Joaquin County
San Joaquin County used $242,400 in Measure K funding to help pay for the Country Club Boulevard Complete Streets Corridor Plan to create a complete street, multimodal plan of improvements for this residential and business neighborhood. It identified sustainable transportation improvements – repair, replace or construct sidewalks, curbs, ramps and bicycle amenities – resulting in greater mobility for users of all ages and abilities, enhanced safety, and increased access to employment opportunities. The plan evaluated local and regional multimodal transportation needs in the community, connections to the commercial and retail opportunities in and near the corridor, and implemented complete street elements to better accommodate nonmotorized users. It was part of the county’s ongoing efforts to support nonmotorized travel in San Joaquin County. The county Board of Supervisors approved the plan in Fiscal Year 2023-24.
Main Street Complete Streets – Stockton
The City of Stockton is working on a precise road plan for Main Street from Hunter Street to the State Route 99 overcrossing and Market Street from Center Street to Main Street. The goal is to provide a vision for these streets to enhance safety and accommodates all modes of travel. Possible improvements could include reducing the vehicle travel lanes, adding bike lanes, repairing sidewalks, and upgrading traffic signals and streetlights. The early designs include two roundabouts to improve safety at intersections. Parklets, or public seating platforms or open space, to improve aesthetics and make walking and cycling more inviting along the corridor are also included in the early designs. Measure K funds contributed to the plan design, environmental documents, and public engagement at two outreach meetings.
Oro Avenue and Section Avenue Sidewalk Improvements – San Joaquin County
Measure K funding helped San Joaquin County install curb, gutter, and sidewalk along Oro Avenue from Section Avenue to Main Street and on the north side of Section Avenue from Oro Avenue to Sinclair Avenue. The contract for construction was awarded in 2024 and $500,000 in Measure K funds will go to the cost of the project.
South Airport Way Separated Bikeway – Stockton
The South Airport Way Separated Bikeway will improve mobility, connectivity and traffic safety for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists in South Stockton by installing separated bike lanes along South Airport Way between Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Performance Drive. This will provide low-stress bicycle access between southeast Stockton and downtown. The proposed improvements will also close gaps in existing sidewalks along South Airport Way and improve access to multiple schools, the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds, Williams Brotherhood Park, and provide connectivity between residences and transit, employment and commercial activity centers. Measure K is contributing to the construction of this project that will improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists.
