Subject:Anholm bike project (again)
Madam Mayor and Council,
I would like for you to consider removing the Anholm Bikeway (item 11) from the consent agenda. I believe the resolution
does not accurately capture your intent or recommendation to city staff.
As the resolution is presented, there is no timeline specified for staff to present a new approach. I would request that you
ask staff to move forward with the construction documents for the northern and southern sections of the project and
concurrently develop planning documents for the middle section to be implemented during phase 2. I would ask that you
request staff to develop a new recommended plan in the upcoming couple months.
The new approach should be in line with our planning documents, city goals, and overall safety of all road way users. I
am in favor of making a sacrifice to public street parking, or vehicle circulation if that means additional safety to bicycles
and pedestrians, and has the best likelihood of attracting new riders.
Please remove the item from the consent agenda and request staff come up with a timeline for a new proposed plan for
middle section of the Anholm Bikeway.
Miles Gary
