Bicycle, Pedestrian & Trails Committee Meeting Agenda Report April 27, 2026 Item 6 SUBJECT: RECOMMENDED USE OF MEASURE BB PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE FUNDS FOR INSTALLATION OF RECTANGULAR RAPID FLASHING BEACONS AT HOPYARD ROAD AND GOLDEN ROAD SUMMARY In 2018, as part of the Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Update, the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Trails Committee established a Measure B/BB funding allocation directing 80% of available funds to the high-priority project identified in the Master Plan and 20% to other projects outside the high-priority corridor. Following adoption of the Trails Master Plan in 2019, the Committee revised the Measure BB funding allocation to provide dedicated funding for high-priority trails projects. The current allocation directs 60% of Measure BB funds to the high-priority project identified in the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, 20% to other high-priority bicycle and pedestrian projects outside the priority corridor, and 20% to trails projects. Staff recommends that the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Trails Committee support the use of approximately $12,000 in Measure BB funds to enhance crosswalk visibility at the intersection of Hopyard Road and Golden Road through the installation of Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs). BACKGROUND Measure B/BB Bicycle and Pedestrian Direct Local Distribution (DLD) funds may be used for capital projects, programs, and plans that directly improve bicycle and pedestrian access, convenience, safety, and use. Eligible uses include, but are not limited to: • New or upgraded pedestrian facilities. • New or improved bikeways. • Maintenance of bicycle and pedestrian facilities. • Crossing improvements. • Bicycle parking. • ADA on-street improvements. • Pedestrian and bicycle signage. • Access improvements at transit facilities. • Traffic calming projects. • All phases of capital projects, including feasibility, planning, and environmental review.
