City of San Leandro Meeting Date: September 11, 2017 Presentation Agenda Section:File Number:17-512 WORK SESSION Agenda Number:2.A. TO:City Council FROM:Chris Zapata City Manager BY:Jeff Kay Assistant City Manager FINANCE REVIEW:Not Applicable TITLE:Staff Report for the Status of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS This report is for information only and there is no action required at this time. BACKGROUND In 1997, the City adopted a Bikeway Plan as part of the Circulation Element of the City's General Plan. A Pedestrian Element was added to the Bikeway Plan update in 2004. This plan is now titled “Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan,” which is discussed in the Transportation Element of the 2035 General Plan. The last update to the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan was adopted by City Council in January 2011. The Plan includes policies and programs that guide the planning and development of bikeways and pedestrian facilities throughout the City. The Plan also includes information required by grant programs that contribute funding for bicycle and pedestrian improvements. Many grant programs, such as the State of California’s Active Transportation Program (ATP), require that the City update its Plan every five years. Because the City’s Plan was last updated in 2010, an update is needed. The update of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan will be consistent with the City’s 2035 General Plan and Complete Streets policy. The update will also satisfy the requirements set forth in the Alameda County Transportation Commission’s “Bicycle Master Plan Guidelines” (January 2015), and the “Toolkit for Improving Walkability in Alameda County” (June 2009). Analysis The Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan has been developed with the input of the City Council Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 9/6/2017
