2020 Annual Work Plan (Liw)
Report
BACKGROUND
In October of each year staff typically presents a Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) annual work plan to help the BPAC and the public understand items that will be discussed at BPAC meetings in the upcoming year. The work plan consists of regular items (i.e. potential transportation grant funding opportunities) and specific items that staff believes that the BPAC should discuss (i.e. Bicycle Plan). Additionally, the work plan includes items drawn from a list of topics that the BPAC has previously requested for future discussion. This list of topics is shown on the current work plan as "Additional items yet to be scheduled."

Additionally, at this meeting BPAC members will be asked to present on all topics not previously voted on by the BPAC for potential inclusion in the upcoming workplan and may also choose to introduce new topics for consideration. Staff has received 21 additional topics for discussion (Attachment 2). Staff will then request that the BPAC vote on additional topics in terms of priority.
Step 2: At the January 27, 2020 BPAC meeting, after taking into consideration the prioritized list of additional work plan items, staff will present a final proposed work plan for calendar year 2020. Staff will then request that the BPAC review and approve the proposed work plan.
In future years, staff will advance the Step 1 and 2 meetings to August and October,...
