Title
Bicycle Plan Status of Projects & 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 along with 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’s been made on recommended priority projects and programs within the Plan.
DISCUSSION
The Plan recommends 40 priority bicycle projects. Attachment 1 provides the progress the City has made regarding these projects. The status includes projects which 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 status of those programs are included in Attachment 2.
Staff is working on various projects to implement 32 of the 48.5 miles of priority bicycle facilities (66%). Key efforts include future studies on three corridors: De La Cruz Boulevard, Monroe Street, and Walsh Avenue, the next phase of the Safe Routes to School program, and a Bicycle and Scooter share program.
