Mrs. Bloesch explained STA was awardedan $85,000 grant from Office of Traffic Safety to provide pedestrian workshops throughoutSolano County. Mike Segala asked if any data of pedestrian incidents will be from UPRRRailroad System. Karin Bloesch answered she doesn’t believe so but that there is a list of the1,068 collisions. David Belef asked if there’s any data of the effectiveness of the HighIntensity Activated Crosswalk (HAWK) throughout Solano County. Karin Bloesch answeredthat the newest HAWK was installed in the Fall of 2018 and data hasn’t been collected yet.

Neal Iverson asked about STA plans lined up against the heat map. Karin Bloesch answered the consultants have not reached this step yet but once finished will be a discussion item. Mike Segala asked if the HAWK system data will be part of the discussion at the Safety Symposium. Karin Bloesch stated that HSIP projects included HAWK systems so STA will be able to talk about what the cities are doing as far as implementing more crosswalk systems. The safety data determined the locations for the HSIP projects. Mike Segala encouraged BAC members to attend the Safety Symposium to inquire further about any pedestrian questions. Cory Peterson mentioned Caltrans decision for the Active Transportation Grant Funding Source. Solano County submitted four projects: Fairfield’s West Texas Road Diet, Vallejo’s Bluff Trail Project, STA’s Safe Routes to Transit Project, and Rio Vista’s Airport Road. Mr. Peterson added that the grant funding was extremely competitive with the lowest score being funded of 90/100. One of the Solano County projects scored 85.

Nancy Lund asked if there are funds to change how the maps are published (i.e. city by city) Cory Peterson answered there are Air Quality funds that need to be spent in 2019 and the goal is to further discuss changes to the bike maps and to have them ready by Bike Month. Mike Segala suggested a special meeting to discuss the maps in February 2019. On a motion by David Belef, and a second by Nancy Lund, the BAC approved the 2019 BAC Work Plan. (7 Ayes)

8. INFORMATION – DISCUSSION A. Solano Active Transportation Plan: Goals & Policies

Cory Peterson gave an overall Active Transportation Plan Update which included public outreach events and the interactive map with over 1,000 individual lines and points submitted. Mr. Peterson shared photos from the public outreach events. Toole Design Group continues to work on the GIS data collection and existing conditions analysis, processing sidewalk mapping data into a single GIS shapefile, and producing an Existing Conditions report. Cory Peterson provided an attachment of Proposed ATP Goals and Policies which included Solano Countywide existing goals and policies of the Bicycle Transportation Plan, Pedestrian Transportation Plan, and the Safe Routes to Transit Plan and a general plan from each city. The STA Countywide Bicycle Transportation, Pedestrian Transportation, and Safe Routes to Transit Plans, along with General Plans from each local jurisdiction, were reviewed and compared with the Shasta Regional Transportation Agency’s GoShasta Regional Active Transportation Plan and the Contra Costa Transportation Authority’s Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. Recommended values and goals included access, equity, health and safety, quality of life, environmental stewardship, collaboration and invest in our values. Cory Peterson stated that all cities have complete street policies required by OBAG 2 in regards to David Belef’s question about BAC potential presentations to cities that do not have updated general plans about the BAC’s recommendations and Quinten Voyce’s question regarding future developments and housing. Neal Iverson asked if the proposed goals and policies can assist with the active transportation priority projects. Cory Peterson answered it will be a consideration for the next fiscal year.

B. May is Bike Month Events Planning Triana Crighton invited the BAC members to help plan for Bike to School Day and Bike to Work Day in May 2019. David Belef said that he has spoken with Mel Orpilla, Congressman Mike Thompson’s Representative and Rochelle Sherlock about a tentative Community Bike Ride in Vallejo on May 11, 2019. Mike Segala suggested filming bike rides throughout Solano County with an action camera (like GoPro) to showcase what biking is like in all cities. Karin Bloesch and Cory Peterson asked the BAC members for the input on the best areas to bike since they are more familiar with their cities and community and also good contacts for their cities to put on successful city bike rides and a Solano County Bike Ride. David Belef mentioned tentatively having an event with

55

booths and food after the Vallejo Bike Ride and asked what the involvement will look like from Solano Transportation Authority. Karin Bloesch and Cory Peterson answered that STA will help in coordinating, marketing and staffing the events. Jason Riley suggested utilizing digital billboards in each city for marketing. David Belef mentioned at the April 23rd, 2019 City Council Meeting that Mayor Sampayan will proclaim May as Bike Month for the second year in Vallejo and invited BAC members to attend. Mike Segala asked David Belef to send the proclamation to Triana Crighton to send out to each BAC member so that each city can model after the May is Bike Month proclamation. Quinten Voyce asked about the outcome of Bike to School Day in 2018 since it was a rainy and cloudy day. Karin Bloesch replied that Bike to School Day has grown each year but the community is less involved compared to Walk to School Day. Mrs. Bloesch mentioned Browns Valley Elementary in Vacaville had over 200 students bike to school on B2SD, the largest B2SD event by a school in Solano Safe Routes to School history. She added that advertisements and incentives are provided for schools by Solano SR2S but some schools don’t have sufficient bike storage and that school staff determines the coordination of their B2SD event. Mike Segala asked when the energizer stations will be established. Karin Bloesch answered that Amy Antunano will return to work in February to determine the stations. Triana Crighton asked BAC members to continue to think about what routes would be best for their communities and that further discussion on Bike Month will be continued at the March 2019 BAC meeting.

C. FY 19-20 to FY 21-22 Funding Priorities Triana Crighton and Cory Peterson provided an attachment of the STA Funding Strategy and Priority Projects for Active Transportation which serves as a guideline for the next three fiscal years. Mr. Peterson confirmed the funding priorities will become an action item at the March BAC meeting with TDA Article 3 recommendations. Ms. Crighton stated she will make corrections to the attachment provided and will send out to BAC members.

9. COMMITTEE MEMBER COMMENTS AND FUTURE AGENDA TOPICS David announced that Vallejo with funding from the Recreation District has installed nine bicycle repair stations throughout Vallejo Parks. Nancy Lund mentioned Mike Thompson wanting to put together a questionnaire regarding a festival on Mare Island. Mike Segala suggested for 2019 and moving forward, for any BAC members that serve on other committees to provide 1-page reports at BAC meetings. Cory Peterson mentioned bike and ped counts will be done and discussed in a future BAC meeting.

Agenda Item 7.A March 7, 2019

DATE: February 19, 2019 TO: STA BAC FROM: Triana Crighton, Planning Assistant RE: STA BAC By-laws Review

Background: The Bicycle Advisory Committee (BAC) operates under a set of bylaws that were created by STA and are amended and adopted by the committee members. The bylaws play an important role in defining the roles of the BAC, duties/responsibilities, membership terms, and more. The last time the BAC Bylaws were revised and approved was March 2008 through a joint BAC-PAC Bylaws Update Sub-committee. The sub-committee had their first meeting in December 2007, brought edits for approval to their respective committees in January and February 2008, and then brought the new bylaws to the STA Board of Directors in March 2008 for final approval.

Discussion: The bylaws should be routinely checked for needed updates. As it has been over ten years since the last update, the BAC should review the current by-laws and discuss any needed updated. This will include looking over the duties and responsibilities in particular. This is an opportunity for the committee to refine their roles and discuss and desired changes related to definitions, terms, and conditions.

Fiscal Impact: None.

Recommendation: 1. Review the current BAC Bylaws2. Approve as is, or with amendments if needed

Agenda Item 8.A March 7, 2019

DATE: February 19, 2019 TO: STA BAC FROM: Triana Crighton, Planning Assistant RE: Solano BikeLinks Map Update

Background: For over a decade, STA has developed a bike map for Solano County. This map serves as the only bike map in the county, as individual cities do not maintain a bike map for public use.

Every year the bike map gets minor updates by STA staff, and new updates are printed in time for Bike to Work Day in May. Funding for the map has historically come from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) and Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District (YSAQMD). All iterations of the map are currently optimized for print. This year the map, funded by BAAQMD, will work on showcasing the various bike routes within Solano County – focusing on individual cities.

Discussion: At the special BAC Map Update meeting held on February 6th 2019, the present BAC members reviewed the current Yolo-Solano BikeLinks Map and suggested favorable changes regarding graphic design, convenience, and content. The committee decided to utilize the same graphic creator as the Top Ten Bikes and Hikes Brochures to maintain a graphic consistency. Two weeks prior to the March 7th meeting, BAC members received an e-mail requesting they come to the March meeting with suggested routes prepared for their respective cities in order to expedite the creation process. STA hopes to have the new updated brochure ready for May is Bike Month.

Fiscal Impact: None.

Recommendation: None.

DATE: TO: FROM:

RE:

February 20, 2019 STA BAC Cory Peterson, Planning Assistant Triana Crighton, Planning Assistant Pedestrian and Bicycle Counter Program Annual Report

Background: The Solano Transportation Authority (STA) purchased eight portable automated counters (four bicycle and four pedestrian) in March 2015 for the purpose of collecting continuous volume count data throughout Solano County and the seven cities.

Volume count data will be collected and used primarily for competitive grant applications, to collect before-data for funded projects, to collect after-data to help evaluate the effectiveness of implemented projects, and to assist the STA Bicycle Advisory Committee (BAC) and the STA Pedestrian Advisory Committee (PAC) in prioritizing future projects. Counters are available for use on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Discussion: STA staff, in coordination with member agency staff members, has deployed automated counters at 18 locations in the last three years (2015-2017). Over 110,000 trips were detected. Counters were actively in use for over 1,000 full days. In 2018, the counters were used at 5 locations, on Lopes Road in Fairfield, on Curtola Pkwy in Vallejo, and on the Mare Island Causeway in Vallejo.

Agenda Item 8.C March 7, 2019

DATE: February 19, 2019 TO: STA BAC FROM: Triana Crighton, Planning Assistant RE: General Staff Updates

BAC Member News & Updates:BAC members may use this segment to update the other committee members on bicycle-related work they have been doing outside of the committee, such as other committees they are involved in, bicycle events taking place in their city, or other related news.

May is Bike Month:As confirmed at the last meeting, May is Bike Month will be used to kick-off a community biking “series”, which will be led by BAC members within their respective cities. These rides will begin and May and may bleed into following months depending on BAC member’s availability. Dave Belef had indicated a preference for Saturday May 18th for the Vallejo community ride. Lawrence Gee had indicated a preference for Saturday May 4th for the Suisun City community ride. The BAC members who have not yet indicated a preference should discuss and decide on dates within May and/or June to hold their community bike rides so STA may start creating promotional items. There will be a county-wide bike ride on Saturday, May 11th aimed at more serious riders.

STA conducted an internal May is Bike Month meeting on Thursday, February 21st. The meeting briefly went over Bike to Work Day, Bike to School Day. And overall events for the month. Triana Crighton provided bike count data to help inform staff on the best locations to set up energizer stations.

BAC Field Trip:A Google Survey has been sent out to the BAC members by the time of the March meeting. Please fill it out so we can begin planning our field trip(s)!

Online ResourcesTriana has started to explore the use of online platforms such as MapMyRide and Strava to promote the Top 10 Rides – BAC members’ feedback pending, Triana will continue to explore ways to make resources readily available online.

BAAQMD TFCA Grant Call for ProjectsSTA’s Call for Projects for TFCA funds closed on February 22nd – STA received five applications. Staff has yet to meet internally to discuss all the submissions. Project reports are not due to BAAQMD until May 31st. On STA’s end, applicants may anticipate news on whether or not STA will forward the project for funding recommendation by Mid-March; around the same time STA will find out the exact funding amount available to the agency by BAAQMD.
