Subject:Remove Item from the Consent Agenda Please
Dear Councilmembers and Mayor,
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 staff. After a lengthy meeting, I
believe your intent was to move forward on the northern and southern sections while staff came up with a
solution for the middle section that may be less contentious between some in the neighborhood and within the
bicycle and overall community.
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 for discussion and
approval by April 1.
Thank you for all you have done to move this project forward in a thoughtful way that best meetings the City's
goal of increasing multi-modal transportation. After talking with several of you individually, I am confident
that you would like to see the best plan for bikes put forward as quickly as possible, with a clear deadline for
staff.
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.
Thank you,
Michelle Shoresman
