DATE: March 5 , 1990
SUBJECT: Preparation of Countywide Bicycle Plan 44—
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
Direct staff to prepare a Countywide Bikeways Plan and authorize
the Chair to transmit a letter to the Contra Costa Transportation
Authority and the Contra Costa Conference of Mayors requesting that
they jointly sponsor the Countywide Bikeways Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The draft General Plan for Contra Costa County has identified the
need for a countywide Bikeways Plan, which would develop a county-
wide map of existing and planned bikeways, serve as a basis for
allocating bikeway funds and address other bikeways issues, includ-
ing safety and maintenance. Staff has prepared a draft Work Pro-
gram for the preparation of a Countywide Bikeways Plan (see Exhibit
A) .
The work program calls for a symposium in early April as a forum
for stimulating public interest and involvement in the planning
process. Since the plan will be countywide in scope, it is
important to request joint sponsorship by the Conference of Mayors.
In addition, Measure C provides some funding for bikeways, and the
Countywide Plan could also serve as the basis for the allocation of
those funds.
