6. Review and Recommend Approval of the Final Draft of the Trails Master Plan Mr. Gruber informed the Commission that City Staff and their consultant TrailPeople, have completed the Draft Trails Master Plan (TMP) and are asking the Commission to review and recommend its approval. He advised that in 1993 the City of Pleasanton prepared a community Trails Master Plan as a means of serving as a guide for future development of trails in Pleasanton, with it to be used as a planning tool to assist city staff when reviewing development plans. In 2017 the City began work with TrailPeople to update the Trails Master Plan that included creating a survey targeted to youth. Mr. Gruber and Randy Anderson from TrailPeople reviewed with Commissioners a PowerPoint presentation that highlighted some of the work and surveys that have been conducted during the past nine months. Mr. Gruber provided information about the process and public outreach conducted along with comparisons and results of Citywide and Youth Trail Surveys. Mr. Anderson commented on Objectives and Policies within the Plan including the Future Trail System. He also talked about Trail System Vision, Implementation, Trail Project Costs, Evaluation and Comparisons, Project Priority and Phasing, and Operation and Maintenance. Additional information provided included details about the total trail mileage for the City of Pleasanton, private public trails, EBRPD and Zone 7 maintained trails. Mr. Gruber noted that the Draft Trails Master Plan had been reviewed by the Bicycle Pedestrian and Trails Committee (BPTC) and they had recommended some minor changes. He noted comments on the Plan have already been received from the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Trails Committee, and after receiving comments from the Parks and Recreation Commission that the next steps will be to present the Draft Trails Master Plan to the Planning Commission, make final edits, then present to City Council for adoption sometime in March or April. Chairperson Bowers commented on the presentation that had been made to BPTC and questioned whether those comments had already been incorporated into the Draft Plan. Mr. Gruber advised that staff would be incorporating those comments after they have received comments from this Commission and the Planning Commission. Commissioner Fields commented on the difficulties she had reviewing things on the screen and was disappointed that members of the Commission had not been provided a printed copy for review. She stated that because of this she was not prepared to make a final judgment on the Draft Trails Master Plan. A copy of the document was provided to Commissioner Fields and Mr. Gruber indicated he would be happy to take her comments via email. Parks and Recreation Commission February 14,2019 Page 10
