THE CITY OF 1 2 `"° CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT pLEASANTON« October 2, 2018 Community Development Planning Division TITLE: AUTHORIZE THE RETENTION OF THE EXISTING DOWNTOWN BICYCLE CORRAL AND INSTALLATION OF A NEW (SECOND) BICYCLE CORRAL SUMMARY Through the Downtown Specific Plan Update process and with adoption of the Downtown Parking Strategy and Implementation Plan, there has been community and City Council interest in expanding opportunities for public outdoor seating and dining, as well as making downtown more "bicycle-friendly" by adding bicycle parking throughout the downtown. In June 2017, the City Council approved the installation of a temporary on-street parklet and a bicycle corral at the intersection of West Angela and Main streets as a pilot project to help assess the viability of these types of public amenities. The pilot project has concluded, and at this time staff requests the Council consider the desirability of formalizing the existing bicycle corral and installing an additional bicycle corral. Separately, staff will return to Council at a future date to discuss future options for the parklet program. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council take the following action: 1. Authorize the retention of the existing bicycle corral; 2. Authorize the allocation of $4,050 to fund the cost of the second bicycle corral. FINANCIAL STATEMENT The anticipated cost to install an additional bicycle corral would be approximately $4,050 Should Council direct staff to move forward with and additional corral, staff recommends the use of the City's allocation of Measure B transportation sales tax funds, which can be used to support bicycle and pedestrian improvements. Funds would be drawn from CIP No. 18543 (Bicycle & Pedestrian Related Improvements).
