Please contact the Clerk or staff liaison prior to the meeting if you require assistance. Presentation Items: Agenda Item #1: East/West Bikeway Connection – Eugene Jud Mr. Jud will present an East/West Bikeway concept (Attachment 2) to the Committee. This is an informational item and no action by the Committee is expected. Agenda Item #2: Bicycle Transportation Plan Implementation Actions Review This item was continued from the June 17, 2014 agenda without discussion due to the lateness of the hour. The item has now been split into two agenda items for clarity. The Bicycle Transportation Plan (BTP) which calls for the BAC to “review the Implementation Actions Matrix (Appendix B) at least every two years to evaluate progress on the actions described in the Plan”. Review of these items is meant to coincide with the beginning of the budget process so the Committee can consider the Action Items (Attachment 3) for possible inclusion in the BAC goal recommendations. This is an informational item and no action by the Committee is expected. Action Items: Agenda Item #3: City Budget Goals, Draft BAC Recommendations Every two years the City Council adopts a Financial Plan (sometimes called a two-year budget). This Plan spells out how the City will spend money on programs and projects for the next two years. As part of this process, all advisory groups are invited to submit budget goals for Council consideration. The process for providing this information is a two-step process. In the first step (this meeting), the advisory body develops preliminary goals. In the second step (our November meeting), the advisory body reviews the preliminary recommendations of the other advisory bodies and finalizes its recommendations. Council goals, by their nature, usually tend to be broader in scope than the work programs developed by advisory bodies. City Council is seeking advisory body input on: • What are the most important goals the City should pursue in the next two years? • Why is each goal important as a community priority? • How might the goal be accomplished (creative funding or implementation ideas)? To help guide the Committee in identifying the most important projects or programs to pursue, members should review the following: • Bicycle Transportation Plan Implementation Action Items (Attachment 3) • Top ranked 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan Projects (Attachment 4). This lists the top three ranked projects by project “class” along with all projects from the catch-all “other” category. For full project descriptions, view the Bicycle Transportation Plan on the City’s web site (page numbers have been provided). • 2014 Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Requests submitted to SLOCOG (Attachment 5) • “Budget-In-Brief, 2013-15 Financial Plan”. The “Major City Goals” outlines the City’s current priorities. (Attachment 6) • 2013-15 Five Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) excerpt of bicycling related projects. Note that any costs identified in 2015-2016 and beyond have not received funding approvals. The complete CIP is available online at: http://www.slocity.org/finance/download/budget13-15/CIP%202013-15%20Final%20online.pdf (Attachment 7) • Final Bicycle Advisory Committee Budget Goal Recommendations for FY 2013-15 (Attachment 8) Next Steps: The BAC’s preliminary goals will be transmitted to the Finance and IT Department. Staff will assemble a master list of all preliminary advisory body goals for a final review by the Committee at its November 20, 2014 meeting. At that time, the BAC can review the goal statements, provide additional refinements or identify new goals, and forward final recommendations to the City Council. Staff Recommendation: The BAC should formulate preliminary goals. The BAC may wish to utilize the previous format (Attachment 8) to organize its recommendations. Agenda Item #4: BAC Assisted Implementation Actions The purpose of this agenda item is to review specific Implementation Actions that could be implemented by BAC members or other volunteers. Attachment 9 lists Implementation Action Items that specifically name the BAC as the action taker, plus implementation actions where BAC members or volunteers could assist. Staff Recommendation: Review the listed Implementation Action items and identify any items that BAC members would like to implement. DISCUSSION ITEMS: Agenda Item #3: Committee Items • Way Finding Signage Sub-Committee Report- Brooks and Woolf (Attachment 10) • Bicycle Mode Share Sub-Committee Report- Brooks and Weisenthal • Bicycling Information for Newcomers Sub-Committee Report- Brooks, Machado, Winn Agenda Item #4: Staff Items • Railroad Safety Trail and Bob Jones Trail Updates • Sinsheimer Park Pathways Update • Bike Rodeo Saturday, September 6 at Hawthorne School • Items for next meeting: _____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________ The next meeting will be held: November 20, 2014 ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Budget-In-Brief 2013-15 Financial Plan With the 2013-15 Financial Plan and 2013-14 budget, the City of San Luis Obispo continues the approach embraced by the City Council to focus its financial planning efforts on achieving long-term, structural balance in the City’s budget.

Use of Measure Y Revenues The City’s ½ cent sales tax measure (Measure Y) continues to play a vital role in the delivery of es- sential services and infrastructure improvements to the City’s residents. In 2013-14, Measure Y is expected to generate approximately $6.6 million in revenues. As reflected below, 69% of Measure Y revenues will be devoted to maintaining the City’s infra- structure, street paving, and flood protection. Approximately 24% of the Measure Y revenues will be used for Public Safety services including additional patrol officers for the Downtown district. An additional 7% is allocated for open space acquisition and to support Neighborhood Wellness. Public Safety 24% Streets, Storm Drains 28% Neighborhood Wellness 4% Open Space 3% Infrastructure Maint. 41% 2013-14 Meaure Y Uses Measure Y – A Closer Look The City began collecting revenues from the Measure Y, ½ cent sales tax in 2007 following its approval by over 64% of the vote. Since that time, Measure Y funding has been allocated by the City Council to the City’s highest priority es- sential services. Through June 30, 2012, the City had spent $26.6 million to protect and maintain essential services. The decision about how to spend Measure Y is made by the City Council every year as part of the budget process. Expenditures are also audited on an annual basis, so the public can see exact- ly what its tax dollars are spent on Measure Y Expenditures Measure Y is used for both operating expenditures and capital improvement projects. Operating expendi- tures includes staff that provide essential municipal services, such as patrol officers, a Fire Marshal, maintenance workers, engineers, Neighborhood Ser- vices Specialists, and other key staff. Capital Improvement Projects are expenditures such as neighborhood street paving, replacement of storm drains, replacement of fire engines and police patrol sedans, open space acquisitions, bicycle facility im- provements, and traffic congestion relief projects among other project types. Project in Focus – Open Space Acquisition The City and its partners have used Measure Y to leverage outside funding for important conservation projects at the Stenner Ranch, Froom Ranch, O’Connor Ranch, and Reservoir Canyon adding miles of new trail and over 1,400 acres of permanent land conservation to the City’s greenbelt. For Example: • Patrol Officers • Neighborhood Services Specialists • Traffic Engineer For Example: • Bob Jones Trail • Fire Engine Replacement • Storm Drain Replacement Total Expenditures = $26,646,300 Through June 30, 2012 Attachment 6, Page 3 of 4 BUDGET-IN-BRIEF If you have any questions about the City's budget or would like a complete copy of the Financial Plan, please call us at 781-7125 or visit our web site at www.slocity.org.

The following table presents the Committee’s draft goals which are designed to implement Measure Y priorities of Traffic Congestion Relief, maintain the City’s silver level “Bicycle Friendly City” designation by the League of American Bicyclists and make the best use of the City’s limited financial resources. Recommended Goal Why Goal is Important Measure Y/Major City Goal Relationship Candidate Funding Maintain ½ time Principal Transportation Planner position and as the City’s fiscal health improves, restore funding to 1.0 FTE. The Principal Transportation Planner position oversees the City’s bicycle transportation program. Direct relationship: Traffic Congestion Relief General Fund Maintain ¼ time temporary staffing position for Transportation Programs Implementation and as the City’s fiscal health improves, restore funding to 0.50 FTE and make the position permanent. This position seeks out and applies for grants as well as assists in the implementation of the Bicycle Transportation Plan. Direct relationship: Traffic Congestion Relief Supplemental relationship: Neighborhood Wellness and Economic Development General Fund Continue improving the maintenance & safety of bicycling & pedestrian facilities in conjunction with Pavement Management projects. ($25,000 annually). Increases the usability & safety of bicycle & pedestrian facilities which promotes alternative transport. Including these improvements in the Pavement Management cycle results in substantial cost savings. Direct relationship: Traffic Congestion Relief Supplemental relationship: Neighborhood Wellness - Traffic Impact fees Continue design and construction of the Railroad Safety Trail: Taft to Pepper. This goal provides a huge safety enhancement for a large volume of bicyclists, a safe bike route to the University, schools, & parks: implements General Plan goals to increase bicycle use and supports Grand Jury recommendations to close gaps. Direct relationship: Traffic Congestion Relief - General Fund - BTA grants - STIP funding - City debt financing for construction - Fundraising efforts Continue design and construction of the Bob Jones City to Sea Trail. This project continues to be a high priority among residents and SLO Direct relationship: Traffic Congestion Relief - Grants Attachment 8, Page 1 of 2 BICYCLE ADVISORY COMMITTEE - 4 - County is moving forward with their section of the trail. Maintain $7,500 in funding for Bicycling Safety Education. Education efforts reduce collisions. Also supports Grand Jury goal of promoting safe cycling. Traffic Congestion Relief - Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds Fund the design and construction of Bicycle Boulevards. Bike boulevards are relatively inexpensive to construct and increase ridership as they appeal to risk-averse, inexperienced and younger bicyclists. Traffic Congestion Relief - General Fund - Traffic Impact fees Implement multiple lower cost Bicycle Transportation Plan projects. The City’s bicycle infrastructure can be greatly expanded for minimal costs if many small projects in the Bike Plan are implemented.

Member of the subcommittee are Lea Brooks and Jim Woolf. Gary Havas was invited to join because of his interest in this project. Kevin Christian also has made many helpful comments. Background: Creation of bike wayfinding signs was called for in the San Luis Obispo Bicycle Transportation Plan, 2013. The plan states: 3.8 Support and promote the development of efforts to inform traveling bicyclists of the City’s bicycle routes, support facilities (including lodging and transportation hubs), and popular destinations. Implementation Action 3.8.1: As funding is available, design, create, erect and maintain signage for routes/facilities/destinations identified as routes supporting the promotion of bicycling as a transportation mode, especially in conjunction with tourism and through- town linkages. (See also, policy 1.47). 1.47 “Bike Route” signage along Class III bikeways shall be considered when the route provides a connection between other bikeway facilities (Class I, Class II, etc.), when traffic conditions (speed, volume, etc.) have indicated a need to raise awareness of the route, or when the route is an identified City, State, or Federal bicycle route (e.g. Bill Roalman Bicycle Boulevard, Pacific Coast Bicycle Route). This is just the first stage of bike wayfinding signs in SLO. Using the lessons learned from this process, in the next step will be to focus more on signs for bicycle commuters. Design: We recommend SLO’s bicycle wayfinding signs incorporate the green bicycle symbol because it is widely recognized as a marker for bike routes. We also would like to include up to three different directional signs and a mileage indication. The city has an ongoing wayfinding sign program that currently is focused on cars and Attachment 10, Page 1 of 8 pedestrians in the downtown area. It is likely the final design of those signs will influence the design of the bike signs. Proposed Destinations for the Bicycle Wayfinding Signs: Signs should direct bicyclists to the following locations: -- Downtown -- Pacific Coast Bike Route -- Information (SLO Chamber of Commerce) -- Information (Proposed kiosk at Octagon Barn) -- Morro Bay -- Los Osos -- Pismo Beach -- Airport -- Amtrak Signs also could direct cyclists to private businesses important to bicyclists. Would it be possible to have individual bike shops or a hostel near the routes “sponsor” a sign that points toward them? Routes and sign locations: 1) Southbound bikes on Los Osos Valley Road. -- Sign on LOVR at Foothill. (Left arrow to Downtown, left arrow to Pacific Coast Bike Route, and straight arrow to Pismo Beach.) -- Sign on LOVR at Oceanaire. (Left arrow to Downtown and straight arrow to Pismo Beach.) -- Sign on LOVR at Higuera. (Left arrow to Downtown, right arrow to Pismo Beach.) 2) Madonna -- Sign on Oceanaire at Madonna. (Left arrow to Downtown.) -- Sign on Madonna at Higuera. (Left arrow to Downtown, left and right arrows to Pacific Coast Bike Route.) 3) Foothill -- Sign on Foothill at Patricia. (Straight arrow to Downtown, straight arrow to Pacific Coast Bike Route.) -- Sign on Foothill at Chorro. (Right arrow to Downtown, right arrow to Pacific Coast Bike Route, straight arrow to Morro Bay.) -- Sign on Foothill at Santa Rosa. (Left arrow to Morro Bay, right arrow to Downtown.) 4) Southbound on Santa Rosa from Morro Bay -- Sign at northern end of town, maybe near the Cal Fire station. (Straight arrow to Downtown, straight arrow to Pacific Coast Bike Route). -- Sign on Santa Rosa at Murray St. (Straight arrow to Amtrak, right arrow to Downtown, right arrow to Pacific Coast Bike Route.)

Based on comment from BAC members and city staff, it was revised. The revised copy was reviewed by representatives of the SLO County Bike Coalition and the SLO Bike Club. Their comments are attached. What’s Next? The document is coming back to the BAC for final approval. If approved, it will be forwarded to the city’s wayfinding committee for inclusion in its plans. The BAC and staff also will begin looking for funds to begin implementing the program. Questions? Comments? Let us know.

That being said, I have not had the chance to have the concepts reviewed by my advocacy team and will ask that it be discussed at the next meeting (towards the end of July, so that further comments can be made to the BAC during the approval process). Meanwhile, here are our two cents broken down into categories: Appearance: We agree that using the green signs is best as it will be more consistent with those used throughout the US. By sticking to the commonly used sign standard, I don't think the city will need to spend much time discussing aesthetics. Destinations: The current set of destinations is excellent. Nevertheless, a couple more locations could be added with the intention of promoting bike commuting. Right now it feels overly devoted to touring & recreational riders while leaving out certain commuter routes. Some families that have discussed the signs with the Bicycle Coalition mentioned schools and community parks as additional key destinations. Meanwhile, young professionals have mentioned business centers. I know of a few routes (i.e. proposed future bike boulevards) that would be well served by way-finding signs to help people get across town safely, away from traffic. Overview: We understand that the policy language supporting bicycle way-finding signs emphasizes tourism and through-town linkages but ask that the committee step back and consider community goals while moving forward in this process. What are the primary goals of the way-finding sign program? Promoting tourism? Enhancing recreational riding? Reaching the goal of having 20% of all vehicle trips being made by bike in the City by 2020? Our hypothesis is that touring and recreational riders are already willing to devote the greatest amount of time to planning routes and preparing for their trip. Meanwhile, local residents interested in hopping on their bike to ride across town need help understanding how convenient, safe, and easy it can be. Insofar as we truly intend to reach our 20% goals, we need to make a tremendous effort to help everyone who lives in SLO learn the best cross town routes for easy riding (avoiding hills, traffic, and challenging intersections). It is not an either/or scenario as much as it is both. Keep in mind that a number of the already included destinations (i.e. downtown, airport, Amtrak) are already leaning towards serving a more local clientele. Thanks for asking for our feedback and reaching out. Attachment 10, Page 5 of 8 David Abrecht, advocate for the San Luis Obispo Bike Club I certainly see the value of the way-finding signs, especially for visitors / bike tourists. More important, the signs are a visual reminder to motorists that transportation by bicycle has a high priority in SLO and SLO County. A couple of comments. 1. Local sponsorship is a good idea but I would not want to put company logos on the signs. There needs to be some way to acknowledge the business without making the signs look cluttered. 2. Make sure the bicycle infrastructure and road maintenance efforts support the directional information the signs are offering, i.e; regular street sweeping, sharrows if needed, bike lane maintenance, etc. 3. Once the program and list is finalized, start with signs in key, high-priority locations using existing funds rather than waiting for the "pot" of money to complete all of the signs. 4. This is down the road, but consider creating an "app" that will provide the same info as the signs on a cyclists' smart phone. Let me know what else I can do to help move this project along.
