THE CITY OF 1 4 <br /> °'°'r' '' CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT <br /> pLEASANTON. <br /> June 6, 2017 <br /> Community Development <br /> Traffic Engineering Division <br /> TITLE: ADOPT THE UPDATED PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE MASTER PLAN <br /> SUMMARY <br /> The City adopted the current Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan in January of 2010. The <br /> Master Plan requires an update every five years to ensure the plan reflects the needs of <br /> the community and to keep the City competitive for funding opportunities. <br /> The most significant changes are the addition of two goals to the Plan. The first new goal <br /> is to create a "Low Stress" bicycle and pedestrian network that may be enjoyed by all <br /> users and abilities and the second new goal is to focus improvements on corridors. <br /> Combined, these new goals will result in changes to both the bicycle corridor alignments <br /> and the project types proposed. Additionally, the Master Plan includes a prioritized list of <br /> improvements. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the 2017 Pedestrian and Bicycle Master <br /> Plan. <br /> FINANCIAL STATEMENT <br /> There is not a financial impact as a result of this Master Plan. Adoption of the Plan allows <br /> the City to pursue future grant funding available through various County, State and <br /> Federal programs and retains the eligibility for local sales tax revenue and other State <br /> funding sources. <br />
