Alta Planning + Design led a major update of the City of Los Angeles, California Bicycle Plan, including an extensive field review and analysis of the existing proposed bikeway system, an analysis of proposed new corridors, extensive public outreach, development of performance criteria, new goals and policies, an off-road mountain bicycling element, an implementation and financial strategy, and feasibility analysis of recommended projects. The data collection portion of this study included the analysis of about 1,000 miles of roadways, using a combination of field review, aerial photos, and GIS-mapping techniques including Alta's
StreetPlan modeling tool. One of the focuses of the plan was to analyze whether the City's current bikeway system, planned primarily on arterial streets, should be moved to collector streets in order to attract a broader array of potential users.
