(IR 03:043) Anne Fox, 2866 Garden Creek Cimle, referred to the Traffic Committee Minutes regarding the Stoneridge bike lane. She noted that the minutes stated the bicycle lanes would be removed. She did not believe any of the residents in this area had been informed of this decision. The minutes also stated that at the next Traffic Committee meeting, a discussion would be held regarding standards for bicycle lanes and the preference to remove bicycle lane strips throughout the City, as it might be safer as bicycles tend to travel close to the curb. She strongly believed this matter needed to be discussed in detail with the School District because many children travel to and from school. There should be safe routes to schools, particularly Hart Middle School, which is located in the area. She believed that an issue such as this should be brought to the attention of the Parks & Recreation Commission as part of a community trails master plan rather than maldng these types of decisions and placing them under the Consent Calendar. This also does not allow the opportunity for a public hearing to be held where citizens and the School District would be given an opportunity to be aware of the situation and provide public comments. Mayor Pico noted that the agenda item is only minutes of the Traffic Committee meeting and by placing them under the Consent Calendar; Council would only be accepting them. He believed the Traffic Committee was recommending additional meetings, which would allow for further discussion. The Traffic Committee does not have the power to make these types of changes without the Council being made aware of them. He indicated that her concerns were valid, and pointed out that Mr. Knowles indicated in the minutes that there needed to be significant more discussion rather than just through a Traffic Committee meeting. In reading the minutes, Ms. Fox believed it was a done deal and that the bicycle lanes would be removed from Stoneridge Drive. Pleasanton City Council 24 11/4/03 M'mutes
