What's a Bike Boulevard Anyway?
Here at Altadena Patch we've written a lot about a proposed 'bike boulevard' for a 5-mile east-west stretch of Altadena. So what exactly could it entail? The below features, from the county's master bike plan, are possibilities.
As , a county commission has approved a county master bike plan that includes a five-mile designated "bike boulevard" for Altadena.
We've written plenty about the plan and while we've discussed some of the potential traffic calming measures that would slow cars down for the benefit of cyclists, the county has never before provided a comprehensive look at what those measures might be.
That's no longer true: at the direction of the County Regional Planning Commission, which had two hearings on the issue, county planners returned the second time with a new appendix to the plan that laid out the details of the bicycle boulevard.

The above photos, captions, and descriptions are all based on the features discussed in that appendix, and while planners have not committed to any of these measures in particular, some of them are likely one-day features of the bike boulevard.
The full section of the report that deals with the features is also available in the line-up above.
