Request For Proposal: Update to the City of Pleasanton Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Page 10 of 12 trends in micromobility (e.g., e-scooters, e-bikes) and their impact on pedestrian and bicyclist facilities and recommend policies and procedures to address micromobility. Task 4: Community Outreach and Engagement Community outreach and citizen engagement will be a critical component of the development of the master plan. The consultant or consultant team should propose a robust community outreach strategy based on successful outcomes and experience with similar projects in other communities. Under this task, Community Outreach and Engagement Plan should be developed and finalized in consensus with City of Pleasanton staff. The strategy may include, but not limited to: • Engaging both those who already bike in the City and those who deterred from biking to assess needs for all users. • Community forums or focus groups to gain input from community members, including facilitation of these gatherings. • Social media, surveys, or web-based platforms for obtaining input from a broader spectrum of the community and to engage participants in dynamic outreach opportunities. • Engaging with the City’s Safe Routes to School program and stakeholders from school districts to address needs for younger riders and safe school commutes. • Recommending unique outreach strategies including bicycle audits, community bike rides to identify gaps in the network and safety issues, or pop-up/temporary bicycle facilities to engage the community in new and innovative options. • Using the City’s BPTC as a forum for study sessions and solicitation of community input. • Formal hearings with the BPTC and City Council. The total number of meetings and full outreach strategy recommended by the proposer should be clearly described in the recommended approach to the project, and fully scoped in the schedule and cost proposal. Task 5: Needs Assessment and Gap Analysis This consultant shall identify the current and future needs for bicyclists and pedestrians and analyze trends in population growth, land use changes, and transportation demands. This assessment should include the updated housing element sites. Task 6: Plan Update • Revise the vision, goals, and objectives to reflect current community needs and policy changes. • Update recommendations for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, including new routes, facilities, and safety improvements. • Integrate best practices in urban design, traffic calming measures, and sustainability. This will include new design standards for bicycle and pedestrian facilities based on location and roadway type. • Provide recommendations for encouraging bicycle and pedestrian usage through education, outreach, and enforcement strategies. • Address accessibility for individuals with disabilities in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
