SUBJECT
Title
Bicycle Plan Status of Projects and Programs (Shariat)
Report
BACKGROUND
The Bicycle Master Plan Update (Plan) was adopted by City Council on September 24, 2019. Last year, the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) was given a status report of projects and programs completed since the adoption of the Plan. Staff and the BPAC acknowledged the importance of monitoring the yearly progress being made towards the recommendations outlined in the Plan.
Staff will provide an update on the progress that has been made on recommended priority projects and programs within the Plan.
DISCUSSION
The Plan recommends 40 priority bicycle projects. The Priority Projects Status Report (Attachment 1) provides the progress the City has made on these projects and includes the projects that currently have a dedicated funding source.
The Plan also includes recommended bicycle related programs. The programs are organized based on four of the five “E’s,” which are Education, Encouragement, Enforcement, and Evaluation. The fifth “E” is Equity, which shall be incorporated throughout all of the Plan’s program recommendations. A summary of all the bicycle related programs and their status is included as Attachment 2.
Staff is currently working on various projects to implement 38 of the 47 miles (81 percent) covering in the 40 priority bicycle projects. Key efforts include projects on nine corridors: De La Cruz Boulevard, Bowers Avenue, Monroe Street, Benton Street, Scott Boulevard, Lick Mill Boulevard, Laurelwood Road, Walsh Avenue, and Mission College Boulevard.
