The City Council eventually adopted the Plan on February 7, 2011 and also <br />established the BPAC as a permanent committee to continuously guide the development and <br />implementation of the City’s Plan. With establishment of the BPAC, a consistent and <br />systematic review process became available to ensure that bicycle and pedestrian issues are <br />addressed and options developed in a timely fashion for network expansion. An established <br />BPAC in San Leandro helps us implement our Complete Streets Policy and also meets <br />Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC) funding requirements that the public <br />have the opportunity to comment on how Measure B and Measure BB Bicycle and Pedestrian <br />funds are allocated. <br />Of its eleven members, the BPAC currently has five vacancies. Based on a recent <br />recruitment effort, staff recommends that the City Council reappoint the six existing members <br />and appoint five new members to serve on the BPAC. The City also sends one of the current <br />San Leandro BPAC representatives to the BPAC for the Alameda County Transportation <br />Commission. The following residents of San Leandro are recommended for appointment or <br />reappointment to the BPAC: <br />1.Maureen Forney (Council District 1) <br />2.Jeremy Johansen (Council District 1) - ACTC BPAC Representative <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 8/29/2016
