SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL 3 and projects are needed. In addition, the 2018 plan did not include a strong focus on pedestrians. A new chapter is necessary to focus on high pedestrian generators, and the projects needed to support these locations. 7.Why was Hexagon Transportation selected instead of Fehr and Peers? A.The City received 2 proposals. The two proposals were very similar in their scopes of work. Staff met with both firms and Fehr and Peers was focused on the Safe Systems approach and Hexagon was focused on the pedestrian generators and organizing the corridors and projects. While the safe system approach is useful, with our low number of pedestrian and bicycle collisions, the Hexagon approach of improvements near high pedestrian generators was preferred. Toole Design is a sub-consultant for Hexagon and is an industry leader in pedestrian and bicycle design and have provided design guidance on many projects in the City. Staff is confident that Hexagon will provide an excellent product. 8.Please add some transparency and accountability measures for City Staff.

Hexagon will also hold 5 focus group meetings with stakeholders to collect additional input. All information will be provided on a public website. The project will be guided by the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Trails Committee who will serve as the steering committee for the project. 9.Exhibit A, Task #2 (assigned to the consultant): Programs implemented since BPMP, 2018 was adopted.

We are using the lightbars until end of life or change in body style of vehicle. The current light bars have been used twice already,
