CM Weisenthal and Myron Amerine will give a presentation on bollard and railing design and its
relationship to bollards and railings within the City.
Agenda Item #2: State Route 227 Operations Study by SLOCOG (10 min) -- Brubaker
Jeff Brubaker from the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) will present a short
information update on the State Route 227 Operations Study, which will address congestion,
access, and multimodal needs for the corridor between Tank Farm Road and Price Canyon
Road. Jeff will present some of the recommendations of the forthcoming draft study including
rumble strips and segments of the Edna-Price Canyon Trail.
ACTION ITEMS:
Agenda Item #3: City Budget Goals, Draft BAC Recommendations (40 min) -- Fukushima
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 2)
Top ranked 2013 Bicycle Transportation Plan Projects (Attachment 3). 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).

complete CIP is available online at: http://www.slocity.org/Home/ShowDocument?id=7563
(Attachment 6)
Final Bicycle Advisory Committee Budget Goal Recommendations for FY 2015-17
(Attachment 7)
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 17, 2016 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 7) to organize its recommendations.
Agenda Item #4: Rough Pavement on Santa Rosa (State Route 1) between Highland
and Foothill (15 min) – Weisenthal
At the July BAC meeting, Myron Amerine gave public comment that the pavement was rough as
a result of the resurfacing work completed this summer by Caltrans on Santa Rosa Street
between Highland and Foothill. Santa Rosa is part of State Route 1 and is under the jurisdiction
of Caltrans. In response, the BAC took action to place the item on the agenda for discussion at
the next BAC meeting. Since the July meeting, city staff has informed Caltrans of the pavement
concern and Caltrans responded by grinding down and smoothing the pavement.
Staff Recommendation: Inspect the grinding work performed by Caltrans since the July meeting
and consider any further action.

»Continue to expand the bike network, especially through
the use of different types of bicycle facilities, such as buffered
and protected bike lanes. On roads where automobile speeds
regularly exceed 35 mph, it is recommended to provide protected
bicycle infrastructure such as protected bike lanes/cycle tracks,
buffered bike lanes or parallel 10ft wide shared-use paths (in low
density areas).
»Ensure that there are bicycle education opportunities
specifically for seniors, non-English speaking populations, and
other specific demographic groups. By specifically targeting
education opportunities to certain groups you can ensure that
those groups are better reached and their specific concerns are
addressed by the curriculum.
»Offer a ‘Ciclovia’ or Open Streets type event, closing off a
major corridor to auto traffic and offering the space to cyclists
and pedestrians.
»Encourage California Polytechnic State University and Cuesta
Community College to promote cycling to students, staff, and
faculty and to seek recognition through the Bicycle Friendly
University program.
»Congratulations on setting ambitious goals for the level of
bicycle use in your community. Ensure that there is enough data
collection to monitor progress and be responsive to continue
progress.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Fiscal Year and when does it begin and end?
The fiscal year is a 12-month period used to measure revenues and
expenditures. It starts July 1 and ends June 30 the following year.
How much does the 1/2 percent sales tax (Measure G) generate?
Approximately $7.2 million annually.
How much is the General Fund Reserve?
At least 20 percent of General Fund operating costs (about $11 M).
Why can’t we use resources other than the General Fund to pay
for priority services such as fire, police and parks?
Enterprise, special revenue, and assessment funds have legal restric-
tions that mandate the collection and expenditure of these funds for
very specific purposes.
Where can I find the budget and other financial documents?
The 2015-17 Financial Plan is available at www.slocity.org/budget.
Measure G Project in Focus: Open Space Protection
Revenue from Measure G (combined with outside grant funding) will enable the City to pursue land
conservation opportunities in the Cuesta Canyon area of the City's Greenbelt through acquisition and
protection of portions of The Miossi Brothers La Cuesta Ranch and the Ahearn Family Ranch.
Ahearn Ranch, Miossi Ranch and Upper SLO Creek from East Cuesta Ridge

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN - TRANSPORTATIONBICYCLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN IMPLEMENTATIONProject DescriptionImplementation of various Bicycle Transportation Plan projects and programs will cost $400,000 in 2015-16. Maintenance/Replacement 7New project Fleet Replacement New Fleet Request 7Council Goal / Measure G Priority: FY 2015-17 Major City Goal: Multi-Modal Transportation/Measure G: Bike Lanes and SidewalksNeed and UrgencyBackground In November of 2013 the City Adopted the Bicycle Transportation Plan and identified implementation of that plan as a Major City Goal for 2015-17. Elements of the Bicycle Transportation Plan are implemented through private development and other larger capital projects. This Capital Project encompasses implementation of various projects and programs which are not under the umbrella of other larger projects, either private or public. Two line items of this capital project include plan & program development in 2015-16. The implementation section of the bicycle transportation plan calls for a prioritization and refinement of projects and alternatives. This task will be primarily conducted by staff along with an additional $5,000 in 2015-16 for consultant services support and outreach activities. Development of an active transportation education & advocacy plan will refine future campaigns for concepts like pedestrian rodeos, & car free days, and other Active Transportation events. This task will also be primarily conducted by staff and supplemented by an additional $10,000 in 2015-16 for consultant services support & outreach materials.Five line items of this capital project include study, design, and construction activities related to priority capital projects identified in the Bicycle Transportation Plan. They are noted as follows, 1) Modification of the Highland & Chorro intersection to improve bicycle connectivity ($20k in 15-16). 2), Broad Street Bike Boulevard ($90k in 15-16). 3), Project development and right of way activities for making a Class I connection along the future Prado Road alignment connecting Higuera & Broad Street ($100k in 15-16). 4) Installing a bike box at Chorro & Foothill ($10k in 15-16). 5) Connecting the Railroad Safety Trail to the Laurel & Orcutt connection (this is in advance of the construction of the trail to the south, an obligation of the Orcutt Area development currently in the review. ($150k in 15-16). The totals below match the request for $400,000 in 2015-16. 3-118Attachment 6, Page 4 of 26

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN - TRANSPORTATIONBICYCLE FACILITY IMPROVEMENTSProject DescriptionDesigning and constructing small-scale, miscellaneous bicycle facility improvements identified in the City’s Bicycle Transportation Plan will cost $100,000 annually. 4Maintenance/Replacement New project Fleet Replacement New Fleet Request 4Council Goal / Measure G Priority: FY 15-16 Major City Goal: Multimodal Transportation/Expand Bicycle and Pedestrian pathsNeed and UrgencyRelief of traffic congestion and the development of bikeways were two high priority concerns received from public comments as part of the goal setting process of the 2011-13 and 2013-15 Financial Plans. This funding allows the City to complete small-scale bicycle facility improvements in a cost efficient manner by incorporating them into larger projects such as the City’s annual pavement maintenance project. Past projects include removal of storm drain grates that impact bike lanes, bike lane signing and striping, and shared lane markings in conjunction with City paving projects, and striping for new on-street bike parking downtown. The 2009-11 American Community Survey estimates that 3% of County residents commute by bike to work in comparison to 6.7% of City residents.Improving bikeways encourages bicycle riding as an alternative travel mode, supporting congestion relief and greenhouse gas emission reduction.Readiness to Build4 Study complete or n/a Equipment purchased or 4 n/a 4 Property owned or property agreement in place n/a 4Environmental approval and permits complete or n/a Specifications or construction documents complete4 n/a IT Steering Committee review 4n/aEnvironmental Review and Permits Required4 Environmental Review n/a Building Permit4n/a Waterway Permits (Fish & Wildlife, Water Quality, Army Corps) 4n/a Railroad4n/a4Other: City Encroachment Permit3-122Attachment 6, Page 7 of 26

Maintenance/Replacement New project Fleet Replacement New Fleet Request Council Goal / Measure G Priority – FY 2015-17 Major City Goal: Multi-Modal Transportation/Expand Bicycle and Pedestrian pathsNeed and UrgencyThis project will construct the connection of the Bob Jones Trail Facility for Calle Joaquin to Oceanaire Avenue past the Target shopping center. As part of the development of the Target Center (Prefumo Creek Commons) the developer contributed $249,507 in air quality mitigation fees to the City for use in constructing the path. This money was received in 2010 and needs to be used. The City was unsuccessful in using this sum as a source for local match in the recent Statewide Active Transportation Grant process. By activating the funds to complete design and permitting it is hoped that the better state of “readiness” will help the grant compete more favorably in the upcoming next cycle.The City is hoping to use a previously acquired bridge to reduced costs for the project and the trail has been planned as part of the Bob Jones Trail planning process and has been included in the Calle Joaquin Agriculture Master Plan. The path was included in the environmental determination for the masterplan but will likely need additional environmental review as part of project development.It is anticipated that the project will compete favorably for outside grant funding however, the remaining part of developer contribution, Measure G, TIF or general fund will be needed as local match or necessary if a grant is not realized.Funding may need to be moved forward depending upon successful competition and award of grant funding.

Maintenance/Replacement 4New project Fleet Replacement New Fleet Request 4Council Goal / Measure G Priority: FY 2015-17 Major City Goal: Multi-Modal Transportation/Expand Bicycle and Pedestrian paths Need and UrgencyIn November 2000, the Council adopted the preliminary alignment plan for the Railroad Safety Trail. Since that time grants have been applied for and work continues with Union Pacific Railroad to receive approval for specific segments, using a phased approach. In 2013 the bike path and fencing was extended southward along California Boulevard to Taft Street. An additional phase is planned for construction during the Spring of 2015, extending the pathway on the westerly side of California Boulevard, to the intersection of California Boulevard and Phillips Lane, as the first phase of the previously approved “Taft to Pepper” project.This request completes the connection to Pepper Street. This bridge connection over the railroad will allow cyclists traveling north, to avoid crossing California Blvd to get onto the Trail, either at Phillips Lane or farther north at Taft Street. Cyclists will be able to ride north on Pepper Street, cross the bridge to PhillipsLane, and join the Trail at California Boulevard, without crossing the street. Future phases will be pursed to extend the trail southward to connect to the existing southern portion starting at the Railroad Station.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN - TRANSPORTATIONBICYCLE/PEDESTRIAN SAFETY IMPROVEMENT – PENNY LANE BRIDGE AT UPRRProject DescriptionPreparing a project study report for the construction of a pedestrian and bicycle bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad at Penny Lane will cost $50,000 in 2018-19. Maintenance/Replacement 4New project Fleet Replacement New Fleet Request 4Council Goal / Measure G Priority: Multi-Modal TransportationNeed and UrgencyThis project will conduct a project study report into the feasibility of installing a bridge at the Penny Street crossing of the Union Pacific Railroad as part of bicycle and pedestrian improvements. The project is currently in the adopted Bicycle Plan as well as identified in the Railroad Safety Trail Plan. Currently pedestrians and bicyclists traveling between the Johnson Avenue residential areas and Downtown cross the railroad at two locations. First is the narrow Johnson Road undercrossing where the grades of the street can make it difficult to ride bicycles up and down the street grade. A second location is the illegal crossing at Penny Lane where the old Penny Lane bridge used to exist. This bridge was previously removed in exchange for getting the Johnson Street underpass built by the railroad. Because of traffic volumes along Johnson Avenue pedestrians often use the bridge x-ing at Johnson as well as the slopes at Penny Lane to cross the tracks and then access Johnson Avenue at the traffic Signal at Lizzie.French hospital is currently under construction of the new medical office building on their properties. As part of that project a new class I bike path will be constructed from their parking lot dawn the slope to Fairview and Breck. This access sets the stage for the final completion of a class I facility from Johnson Avenue down to Fairview, across a new Penny Lane Bridge and then into Downtown. The project study report will analyze the issues associated with pursuing completion of the Penny Lane Bridge including: permitting requirements from UPRR as well as the PUC, engineering study of the bridge design and structural needs, any easement requirements, adjacent property issues and construction cost estimates.The project is TIF eligible but may ultimately compete well for construction grant funding at the regional and state level.Readiness to Build Study complete or n/a Equipment purchased or n/a Property owned or property agreement in place 4n/a3-136Attachment 6, Page 19 of 26

This project will improve access to and from Pacheco and Bishop Peak schools as part of a safe route to school improvement project. Currently bicyclists communing to the schools from the south must ride contra-flow on the north side of Foothill to access the signals at Broad or Chorro Street or cross Foothill at Ferrini across four lanes of traffic. These movements have been identified as problematic by the parent teacher associations, residents in the area, the bicycling community and the BAC.
