<br />Consulting Services Agreement between City of San Leandro and 09/22/16 <br />Alta Planning + Design, Inc. for Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update Exhibit A - Page 9 of 14 <br />previous tasks that identified problem areas plus experience gained in communities around the region and <br />the country. <br />Alta will also work with the San Leandro Police Department staff to build upon current, documented <br />enforcement practices, and will provide suggested enforcement activities that will help to improve safety of <br />all road users. Enforcement activities can help identify areas where laws and ordinances should be <br />changed to accordance with best practices; training or practices for law enforcement officials; community <br />enforcement strategies (such as a hotline for identifying areas of chronic concern for traffic infractions); and <br />public education about laws and responsibilities related to bicycling and walking. Examples include: <br /> Traffic safety diversion program (in lieu of fines) <br /> Legal training to inform bicyclists and motorists of the rights and obligations of each party <br /> A training video for police department use that covers bicycling issues <br /> Formation or expansion of a bicycle patrol unit <br /> Bicycle theft sting operations <br />This task will be summarized in an administrative draft technical memorandum. The City will provide one <br />internally-consistent, consolidated list of edits, which will be incorporated into a working group draft <br />memorandum. The City will review and approve one internally-consistent, consolidated list of edits from the <br />working group, which will be incorporated into the final draft memorandum and compiled into the Initial Draft <br />Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, described in Task 8. <br />PERFORMANCE MEASURES, DATA COLLECTION PLAN, & IMPLEMENTATION SCORECARD <br />(OPTIONAL) <br />Optionally, Alta will create a set of quantitative and qualitative performance measures that are designed to <br />evaluate progress towards creating a bicycle- and pedestrian-friendly city in which there are an increasing <br />number of people bicycling and walking, improvements to safety of all road users, and institutional adoption <br />of recommendations from the plan update. <br />One specific section of the performance measures could be related to bicycle and pedestrian system <br />usage, which historically has been collected through manual counts. Alta is currently researching the <br />potential of alternative, more cost-effective count technology to supplement or replace manual counts and <br />has identified the San Leandro BART Station and the Kaiser Medical Center as pilot count locations. Alta <br />will combine our knowledge of best practice count methods through our development of the National <br />Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project along with localized knowledge gained through our count <br />technology research to provide recommendations for a data collection plan that includes locations, rotation <br />schedule, potential data collection technology, and extrapolation methods. <br />Another section of the performance measures could relate to the buildout of the proposed bikeways and <br />walkways. Alta will work with the City to understand how data is currently tracked about facility location, <br />type, and condition. Likewise, Alta will work with the client team to understand how information about <br />collisions is tracked and recorded. Recommendations will be made about ways to improve these <br />processes, if needed. <br />Once the performance measures have been finalized, Alta will create benchmarking recommendations in <br />the form of an annual “scorecard” that will help the City to track the proposed performance measures and <br />data collection plan. This optional task will provide a starting point for status reports to the San Leandro City <br />Council, help focus grant application efforts, and lay the foundation for future plan updates.
