The current draft 2019-20 work plan was recently updated to reflect new potential priority projects as identified by the public, individual goals provided by the mayor and councilmembers (over the past year), projects identified by City staff, projects discussed collectively by the City Council, and not -yet completed priority projects previously approved by the City Council. The draft work plan is attached for your review. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: At this time, the City staff is seeking Bicycle, Pedestrian & Trails Committee (BPTC) assistance in refining or amending the BPTC related priorities. Particularly, staff is requesting that the BPTC review the work plan and provide the following information: Identify any bicycle or pedestrian related project(s) that your committee determines is no longer a priority Recommend the City Council prioritize a newly added project and/or initiative as described in the work plan, or consider the addition of a new project/initiative not currently part of the work plan Provide comment on any project that is part of the existing work plan. Staff will compile comments from all commission and committees and present them to the City Council for consideration as part of its workshop, tentatively scheduled in March. DISCUSSION: In order to ensure that the greatest number of prioritized projects are completed within the time frame of the 2019-20 two year work plan, and with the limitation of City staff and resources in mind, the BPTC is encouraged to limit their recommended priorities to the strategically chosen projects and/or initiatives. This focused approach will allow for a more refined prioritization process for the City Council Workshop, and result in a more realistic two-year work plan and appropriate subsequent annual budget. There is currently one BPTC related Council priority in the draft work plan, which was included in the previous plan. This includes the following: Design West Las Positas Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements. This project is underway and is the top ranked corridor in the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. This project will design the bicycle and pedestrian improvements along West Las Positas Boulevard from Foothill Road to Kirkcaldy Street. The design process will be completed in June 2019, with construction to begin once the design is approved by City Council. The Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan includes a list of prioritized corridors and a funding mechanism that focuses on completion of the top ranked corridor before moving on to the next highest ranked project. The Master Plan does allow for individual projects to be identified and funded that are not within the top ranked corridor. These projects will be identified by the BPTC but do not necessarily rise to the level of inclusion in the two year work plan. Attachment: Draft 2019-2020 Work Plan
