SUMMARY:
The City Council participated in the appointment of a Complete Streets Committee and approved Resolution No. 29-12, establishing a policy of incorporating bicycle and pedestrian elements into all future road projects. City staff identified a series of bicycle path projects and cost estimates for Council’s review.
In an effort to broaden the scope of the Committee’s view, the use of appropriate traffic calming measures that encompasses the needs of bicyclists, pedestrians, transit users and disabled people including street lighting should be incorporated into the view of the design, operation and maintenance of streets to promote safe and convenient access and travel for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, transit riders and people of all abilities.
In order to move forward with policy implementation and ordinance recommendations to City Council, the Committee should be reappointed.
