REPORT TO BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE
SUBJECT
Title
2027 Annual Paving Project - List of Streets (Shariat)
Report
BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Works (DPW) completes an Annual Maintenance and Rehabilitation Project (Project) to maximize pavement life for various streets in the City. The Project applies pavement treatments such as slurry seal, cape seal, or asphalt overlay. Once streets are identified to be included in the Project, staff coordinates with the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) to review if the streets have the potential for adding bicycle facilities as identified in the City's Bicycle Plan. It is important to note that if streets require removal of parking or travel lanes due to limited right-of-way widths or the construction of traffic calming measures, the recommendations in the Bicycle Plan cannot be implemented without extensive public outreach and traffic analyses/studies. These streets typically require more upfront work and time than can be accommodated in the Project timeline. Therefore, staff will create specific projects to complete outreach, analyses, and implementation activities for these streets, separately from the Project.
