This approval <br />provides an opportunity for public input on bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements. Eligible <br />projects and programs may be approved through: <br /> <br />• An adopted list of Measure B/BB-funded projects. <br />• A local Bicycle and/or Pedestrian Master Plan with prioritized projects – project is <br />#27 on the prioritized list. <br />• The Capital Improvement Program. <br />• A City Council resolution, such as submitting a grant application. <br /> <br />The executive summary of the Pedestrian and Bicycle Masterplan identifies that the plan is <br />intended as a conceptual guide for City staff and members of the public, “Individual projects may <br />differ from the Plan's recommendations, but the main project alignments and policy <br />recommendations should be implemented to the greatest degree possible.” <br /> <br />This section is noted because the specific project in the masterplan is to restripe to high visibility <br />crosswalk and we are adding the RRFB’s to that design, which, while not explicitly noted, but <br />does align with the goals of the masterplan. <br /> <br />Goal 5: Improve traffic safety for all modes, and particularly the most vulnerable roadway <br />users - bicyclists and pedestrians. <br />Action 5-1A: proactively identify safety issues and implement safety countermeasures, <br />utilizing best practice engineering, enforcement, and public education tools. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />It is recommended that the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Trails Committee support the use of <br />approximately $12,000 in Measure BB funds to enhance crosswalk visibility at the intersection of <br />Hopyard Road and Golden Road through the installation of Rectangular Rapid Flashing <br />Beacons (RRFBs). <br /> <br />ACTION <br />Support the use of approximately $12,000 in Measure BB funds for the installation of <br />Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons at the intersection of Hopyard Road and Golden Road. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Submitted by: <br /> Matthew Nelson <br />Associate Traffic Engineer
