MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Steve Nguyen, Engineering Manager19~
DATE: Thursday, July 12, 2007
SUBJECT: Bicycle/Pedestrian Master Plan - Planning Commission Adoption
In the early part of 2006, staff was directed to develop/update the Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan. In
part, the needs and requests for constructing sidewalks and bike paths often surfaced, but there was no
detail master plan or funding program in place to implement. Numerous meetings with different
departments were held to identify the needed corridors.
Existing Condition:
The City's current bike and sidewalk network is best described as scattered and inadequate.
Sidewalk is absence along many collectors and arterials in the City. The network is neither
continuous nor connected to the adjacent communities. Connectivity to park trails was not
emphasized or existed.
Goals were established as guidance to the Master Plan update and are as follow:
• Provide connectivity between bicycle facilities along the roadway with all parks trails,
schools, parks and other major generators
• Provide continuity to routes that connected to all adjacent communities.
• Establish type of facilities based on demand, available right of way, location (future phase)
• Establish priorities for programming and construction through various fundings and grants.
(future phase)
• Adoption as an amendment to the City Comprehensive Plan
Public Input:
Several public meetings were organized to solicit input and feedback to this plan. To date there have
been five public meetings held soliciting comments from residents. These were the September 14,
2006 Town Hall Meeting, the May 15, 2007 Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan Open House, two
district meetings and the Stevens Elementary School Bike Rodeo. The draft Master Plan was
presented and reviewed by the City Council and Planning Commission at the joint study session on
June 18, 2007 and comments were incorporated. City staff also solicited input from adjacent
communities as well.
The trail element from the parks and recreation master plan was incorporated into this plan. This is to
emphasize that bicycle facility connectivity between roadway network and trail is crucial to offer the
users access to all commuting and recreational destinations. This mater plan is consistent with the
Parks and Recreation master plan.
It should be noted that the Master Plan identifies general routes for a bike and pedestrian transportation
system. Details of the system (on-street/off-street facilities, attached/detached facilities, width and
material) would be identified in a future phase of study. Staff recommends that additional planning be
performed after a funding and implementation plan is established.
Staff recommends adoption of the Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan. A motion to adopt a resolution
recommending adoption of the plan by City Council is needed.
Suggested Motion:
"I move to adopt Resolution 04-2007, a resolution recommending adoption of the Bicycle Pedestrian
Master Plan, and forward this recommendation, along with the Resolution, to City Council for their
consideration."
