Dear ATC members,
I'm writing in support of a bicycle policy supporting quick build projects as a part of the ATP, and Garrett
Otto's recommendations on the following policy language:
San Luis Obispo is committed to achieving its Vision Zero safety goal, Circulation Element’s mode
share goals, and Climate Action Plan by prioritizing non-private automobile transportation
and implementing key elements of Active Transportation Plan.
Use Quick Build strategies to provide separated and protected (Class IV) bikeways to complete
the core bicycle network by 2030.
City Traffic Engineer to approve reversible and/or adjustable parking and traffic modifications
such as painted safety zones, bike lanes, adjustments to parking regulations, parking and
loading changes, changes to the configuration of traffic lanes and/or other safety
improvements to be implemented using materials such as roadway and curb paint, traffic
signs, traffic delineators, traffic signal changes, and transit boarding islands.
Quick Build Projects shall remain installed for a 24 months evaluation and to allow enough time
for behavior changes. A report will be provided at the conclusion of the evaluation period
with findings and future recommendations.
Improvements and resurfacing projects shall comply with the Active Transportation Plan.
Quick Build Projects are not defined as a “project” under the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) pursuant to Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.
Thank you.
