le & Pedestrian Master Plan 2 December 21, 2009 Wilbur Smith Associates was selected from a group of five consulting firms to assist staff in updating the 2004 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan based on responsiveness, capacity, ability, experience and references. The Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan will be developed with the input of a City Council- appointed Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee. The BPAC mission is to guide the development of the 2010 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. To qualify for funding, many grant funding sources require that the planning document be developed with input from an advisory committee. A press release and individual outreach was made to candidates who are active in bicycle and pedestrian issues in San Leandro. We received 26 applicants for the BPAC.
