Enjoy your Maintenant.

I see a Wendy.

Well, you usually have me do this.

Yes, she does.

Yes, she does.

Yes, she does.

And you know how lot would everybody else

Chair staff's ready when you are.

Thank you.

Good evening.

Welcome to the February 20th, 2025 Active Transportation Commission.

The meeting is now called to order.

Will the clerk please call the roll to establish a quorum?

Thank you, Chair.

Commissioners, please unmute.

Commissioner Harris.

Here.

Commissioner Gibson.

Here.

Commissioner Walwani.

Here.

Commissioner Litigur.

Is absent.

Vice Chair Gonzalez.

Present.

Commissioner Ha.

Here.

Commissioner Moore.

Here.

Commissioner Lee C.S. Cruz.

Here.

Commissioner Banks.

I'm here.

Chair Hodell.

Here.

Thank you, Weabocorn.

I would like to remind members of the public and chambers that if you would like to speak

on an agenda item, please turn in a speaker slip when the item begins.

You will have two minutes to speak once you are called on.

After the first speaker, we will no longer accept speaker slips.

We will now proceed with today's agenda.

Please rise for the opening acknowledgments in honor of Sacramento's Indigenous people

and tribal lands.

To the original people of this land, the Nisanan people, the southern Maidu Valley and

Plainsmeewok, Patwin Winton peoples and the people of the Wilton Rancharia, Sacramento's

only federally recognized tribe.

May we acknowledge and honor the native people who came before us and still walk beside

us today on these ancestral lands by choosing to gather together today in the active practice

of acknowledgment and appreciation for Sacramento's Indigenous peoples history, contributions

and lives.

Thank you.

Please remain standing for the Pledge of Allegiance.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic

of America, which stands one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice

for all.

Our first business today is the, we'll do the Commission staff report.

Oh, first, sorry.

Okay.

The first business today will be this Commission staff report, staff you may proceed.

Thank you, Chair.

I'm good evening, everybody.

Jennifer Donlin-Wyant, Division Manager for Ability and Sustainability in the Public Works

Department.

I have a short staff report report back for you today.

The first is that we are hiring for a senior transportation planner.

So I'll be putting that out on social media soon.

We'll have a special newsletter about it.

But please share with your friends and colleagues who might be interested in working for the

city of Sacramento.

It's open for about two and a half more weeks in the position.

The only other item I have is that your 2024 annual report will be going to budget and

audit next week on Tuesday at 11 a.m.

And so if you choose commissioners and members of the public, you can come and attend in person

and will have a short presentation on the recommendations that were made to PNP.

As you probably know, the normal process for commission reports is the PNP committee

and then directly to council.

However, PNP had made the recommendation to bring the item to the budget and audit committee

of city council.

So it would be there are two safe for that.

And with that, that is my staff report.

Thank you, Chair.

Thank you.

I would like to welcome our new commissioner, Emma, Amel, Wadwani.

Got the last name correct.

Welcome and tell us just a little bit about yourself.

Sure.

Thank you very much.

I already messed this up once.

So hopefully, I think I've got it this time.

So just a couple of things I wanted to say.

I'm honored and grateful to be part of the commission and it's important work.

Thank you to council member Plekibaum for the appointment.

Just about who I am, I am a midtown resident.

I'm a downtown worker, work across the street at Kelly P.A.

I'm a bike commuter and an avid pedestrian around town.

I have raised kids who needed safe routes to bike and walk to school.

I've taken care of an elderly mother who needed the infrastructure after she couldn't

drive anymore to get around on safe sidewalks and crosswalks.

So issues related to safe infrastructure for active transportation are really near

and dear to my heart.

And in particular, implementing those principles in a manner that is inclusive and equitable.

By profession, I'm an environmental attorney.

So issues of climate change, clean air and public health are also very important to me.

And I guess I'm just very excited to dig into the work and make a difference, hopefully,

in this terrific city.

So, Hill.

Our first business today is, let's see.

Next is the approval of the consent calendar.

Clerk, are there any members of the public who wish to speak on the consent calendar?

Thank you, Chair.

I have no speaker slips on this item.

Are there any commissioners who wish to speak on the consent calendar?

Okay.

I'll move to approve the consent calendar.

Thank you.

We have a motion by Commissioner Halt.

I'll second.

A second by Commissioner Harris.

Will the clerk please call the roll?

Thank you, Chair.

Commissioner Harris?

Aye.

Commissioner Gibson?

Aye.

Commissioner Wanwani?

Do I vote on?

I'll abstain.

I'll abstain.

Okay.

Commissioner Littaker?

Is absent?

Vice Chair Gonzalez?

Yes.

Commissioner Halt?

Aye.

Commissioner Moore?

Aye.

Commissioner Lee Steyock-Rus?

Aye.

Commissioner Banks?

Aye.

Thank you, Chair Halt.

Aye.

Thank you, and the motion passes.

Thank you.

We'll now proceed to the discussion calendar.

Item number three is the nomination and appointment of one ATC member to the Vision Zero Action

Plan Update Task Force.

Is there a staff presentation?

Yes, it's me.

Good evening, Chair Hodella and commissioners.

I am Ryan Dodge.

I'm an associate planner with the City of Sacramento.

And I'm here tonight to ask the commission to point one commissioner to our Vision Zero

Action Plan Update Task Force.

In 2017, City Council adopted the goal to eliminate traffic fatalities by 2027.

In 2018, City Council adopted the Vision Zero Action Plan, which is what we're updating.

And we just started that process.

So the purpose of the Vision Zero Action Plan Update is to build on the 2018 Action Plan

by updating data to make sure we are eligible for competitive grant funding.

So we hired a consultant, Fair and Peers, to help with this work.

And they're going to be working on collecting data and developing safety countermeasures,

engaging with communities throughout the city, and helping us prioritize actions moving forward,

and essentially to create an updated plan.

So we have also formed an internal technical advisory committee for this work.

And so in addition to that, we wanted to have this external task force involve a commissioner

from this commission.

Our commissioner is going to meet with us eight to ten times in person and virtually.

We haven't figured out the mix yet over the next 14 months.

So note that some meetings will include both the technical advisory committee and the task

force.

So we recommend that the SACF Transportation Commission appoint one commissioner to the Vision Zero

Action Plan Update Task Force to help review and give input on data analysis and give

us recommendations.

I'm happy to answer any questions.

Thank you.

Are there any questions by the commissioners?

Anybody raising their hand to say I want to do it?

A question?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Okay.

Commissioner helped.

I'm actually out deferred to come more.

Okay.

Commissioner Gibson.

Go ahead.

I'm just curious if you can provide.

Thank you.

I'm curious if you can provide any insight into demographed.

You have kind of representational seats on the advisory committee that you either have

or are trying to fill.

We have different, for the task force, we have different folks from different organizations.

I would have to pull up the list.

But we definitely, it's a citywide process.

So we're trying to get a big cross section.

We invited close to 30 different folks to it from different organizations.

Okay.

Yeah.

Commissioner, I'm sorry.

Commissioner Moore, if you like the specific list of folks that we invited, I'm pulling

that up.

And that's for the groups that we are now trying to actively select somebody for.

Okay.

So the list includes AERP, a number of school districts, House Sacramento, Saba, Sack

RT, Slow Down Sacramento, Society for the Blind, Strong Sack Town, Civic Thread, Sacramento

County Health.

I'm just going past all the TMAs and a number of business groups.

The list continues.

Yeah.

Specifically.

Yeah, okay.

Perfect.

For example, youth representation, if we don't already have that or have a seat dedicated

to that, that might be something to consider as we look to nominate someone.

Thank you.

Can you speak a little bit to the timing and the expectation as far as time commitment,

you know, when how much time and what the duration of time is expected to be, and whether

this is going to be an advisory board or some other format.

This is an advisory board.

And also, if you could remind us the top five or ten districts that have the most vision

zero roads.

Yeah.

So it will be eight to ten meetings, anticipate up to two hours max, probably, per meeting.

Maybe some preparation before each meeting, reading over materials and getting familiar

with it, that could vary one to three hours potentially, depending on the products that

come out.

As far as the top five and top ten, I defer Jennifer.

Great.

Thanks, Ryan.

Commissioner Harris, the top ten, based on the 2018 plan, the top ten quarters are in

our most underrepresented resource communities in North Sacramento, Southeast Sacramento and

South Sacramento.

We'll be, of course, doing a new data analysis, but I don't expect that to change significantly.

Thank you.

And is this just an advisory role?

It is advisory, yes.

Commissioner helped.

Thank you, Chair.

I would just ask if there's anyone willing to put his or her hat in the ring.

I would happily nominate that person.

Oh.

How we have to?

Oh, yeah.

Good.

I guess given Dr. Gibson's tenure on the commission, it would probably be more helpful to nominate

Commissioner Gibson.

So I therefore nominate Commissioner Gibson.

I'd accept.

My second.

Second by Commissioner Harris.

I want to call on Commissioner Banks.

I just wanted to make sure because I have accepted.

So I don't know whether or not it's easier to just wear both hats or to have more voices

in which case then.

I'm all in on Mr. Gibson.

And my question would be, do you need a youth participant also?

I don't believe we necessarily identified that.

I don't think we necessarily be opposed.

I'm going to ask our city attorney if the staff report said a representative, but the

commission chose to nominate too.

Would that be an issue for moving forward if the commission decided to vote on nominating

both candidates to the task force?

No.

I think the long as the task force is.

You know, violated form.

I don't know if we're vulnerable to nominating or to the same.

So I want to suggest that we have both.

We're open.

City staff are open to having two candidates from the ATC.

And if we're just thinking about who is already on there, such as Commissioner Banks, that

would be three commissioners on it.

I don't think that violates a quorum.

So I think that was should be acceptable if that's what the commission wants to do.

So Vice Chair Gonzalez.

Thank you, Chair.

I think we're pretty lucky here to have two interested parties.

Commissioner Gibson is obviously extremely talented and versed in the issues concerning

Vision Zero.

But I love the fact that Commissioner Juan did you raise your hand.

So I would like to make a counter motion, Jim, or amendment to your motion.

And nominate the two of them.

I accept the amendment.

Commissioner Harris, do you second that nomination?

I also second the amendment to the nomination.

Thank you.

There are no more speakers, no more discussion.

Can we have a motion by Commissioner Help?

And a second by Commissioner Harris, please call the rule.

Thank you, Chair.

And just for the record, we have no speaker slips on this item.

Oh, thank you.

Commissioner Harris.

Aye.

Commissioner Gibson.

Aye.

Commissioner Wanwanne.

Aye.

Commissioner Lydiger is absent.

Vice Chair Gonzalez.

Oh, heartily yes.

Commissioner Haub.

Aye.

Commissioner Morn.

Aye.

Commissioner Lisea Cruz.

Aye.

Commissioner Banks.

Yes.

And Chair Haudel.

Aye.

Thank you, the motion passes.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

And let us know how it goes once the meeting start.

You know?

Absolutely.

Yeah.

Item number four is the overview of transportation planning

and equity.

There is a staff presentation.

I can see it happening right now.

Oh, sorry.

Right.

Good evening, commissioners.

Jennifer Donlon-Royant.

It is very good to be with you this evening.

So I am making this presentation to you for two reasons tonight.

The first is we have a lot of new members who maybe don't

understand or are familiar with the process

of how an idea moves from idea to implementation.

But also, I want to center.

I know that equity is incredibly important to this commission.

And that in 2018 or 2019, this commission

was the first commission of the city of Sacramento

to adopt an equity statement.

And so I think that's really important.

It's Black History Month.

So I want to emphasize the importance of Black History Month

and the work that you do around equity.

So let's see.

OK, we're good.

So February is Black History Month, as you know.

And Black Sacramentans have contributed significantly

to the city of Sacramento.

Our history, our story from before our city was founded.

And those contributions include business and economic

contributions.

They include arts and culture.

And if you haven't been to the city's African-American

Experience Project website, I encourage you to do that.

I think the link should be in your staff report.

But today, Black Sacramentans live mostly,

one of many Black Sacramentans, live in North and South

Sacramento.

These are areas of the city that lack basic transportation

infrastructure, such as sidewalks, such as street lights,

or crosswalks.

These are also some of the areas where

the highest transportation related traffic fatalities

in serious injuries.

And the visions you're actually planning, which we just

talked about, is working to address that

through our planning efforts.

And then our transportation priorities plan

is helping us prioritize that investment.

And so the transportation priorities plan

prioritizes for many things.

But one of them is equity, which we're

going to talk about a little bit more tonight.

And if you didn't follow, because I know

that you all just follow City Council and all of their agendas

and everything on it, back in December,

City Council adopted a resolution that was very

forward thinking around racial equity, not just

equity, but racial equity.

It was December 3, and if you haven't

a seen that resolution on watch that meeting,

I encourage you to do that if equity is something that

is important and that you care about.

OK, so let's see.

And so here is an excerpt of what City Council adopted in December.

And this resolution affirmed the city's commitment

to not only equity, but racial equity.

It committed the city to becoming an equitable and justice

oriented organization, commitment to racial equity,

and committed commitment to prioritizing measurable change

in the lives of people of color.

And that racial equity is not just an outcome,

but it is a process.

It was 2020.

I was proud to share that you all here.

Now, if all you were here, but I know that you all probably

are aligned with it, adopted the racial equity statement for ATC.

You know, like Jennifer, what does this have to do?

Why are you talking to us about this,

transportation and equity?

And first, I want to introduce you to how

an idea becomes a concept, and I owe you a message back

to it, because it's complicated.

It's more complicated than I think any of us would like,

but wanting you to get this idea for a sidewalk

to get to the light rail station, as Commissioner Harris

has asked us about.

And there are three significant phases for getting things done.

And this is very simplified, because it

can be very different based on the type of project.

There's the planning thing, the stage, which

is what Jeff and I do.

Then it goes to our engineering partners.

They do preliminary design, environmental clearance.

They don't always happen together,

depending on the funding source.

They can be separate.

And then final design.

And then sometimes a separate phase for construction,

again, depending on the complexity and the funding sources.

So we put together this graphic.

And if you haven't seen this graphic yet,

it's not meant to say, oh my gosh, things are so complicated.

But I also, and to discourage new ideas to come forward,

but also to really explain what happens at internal to the city

as something moves forward.

And so you'll see the lighter graphics

as a roadway with lighter graphics of shoes, bicycle,

wheelchair, transit, because those are the ideas.

They're the concepts, right?

Of something that Commissioner Gibson's going to come to us

and say, we really love to see this.

And ideas come from you.

Ideas come from staff.

They come from the business community.

And then if it meets our priorities for the city

and there are funding opportunities around that,

we move into like seeking a grant

to help fund the planning phase, such as neighborhood

connections, which we talked about last month,

where we, that was a grant funded project.

Usually grant funded opportunities for planning

come every one to two years.

And it takes some time, right, for us to find those opportunities.

And then it takes us about two to three years

to do that planning work, because we want to make sure

that we talk to our communities, that we go to them

in their communities at their events,

rather than just having a meeting here at City Hall once

and saying, come join us, we want to go to you.

So we developed that plan.

After we go to council, like we're going to council,

I should add that my staff report on Tuesday

for the neighborhood connections plan

to be approved by council.

Once council approve something, then we have to wait

to see, well, when is the next funding opportunity

to move it to the next phase, which will be the green phase,

right, preliminary engineering and environmental clearance?

So when is that next phase happening?

And then of all the work we're working on,

is that's the top priority to apply for it at that time.

Because sometimes the pot of funding is very small.

For example, the state's active transportation program

in this last cycle only funded eight or nine projects statewide.

And there was only $4 million available

for active transportation at the regional level through SAICOP.

And so knowing that there's a small pot,

we prioritize what we're applying for.

But then we go and we apply for it.

And then it takes some time to go through that preliminary

design, environmental clearance.

Anywhere from two to seven years, depending

on the complexity of the project.

More complex, right away needs, heavy traffic analysis,

environmental issues is going to take longer.

Let's say we finish that.

We do all that work.

We wait for our next round of grants

to see how can we get money for final design.

And sometimes we get money for only a phase of the project

for final design.

Broadway Complete Streets is a great example for that.

We get money in different phases for that.

Broadway Complete Streets was three phases.

Faces one and two, mostly done, except for the river crossing.

Challenges working through the CPUC.

But phase three is not funded yet or will be funded soon.

And so that takes some time to get through that design

and then seeking money for construction.

Because again, sometimes it's a separate pot of money.

And so this is more so for you to understand the process

that we work through internally.

It's not always incredibly transparent.

You're like, Jennifer, you did a planned for Northgate

and your team got it approved by council last year.

What's going on with it?

Well, for example, Northgate, we're seeking funding.

We need funding for the next phase.

And it is definitely a priority project.

And we're trying to move it through,

but that's as funding opportunities arise.

This is an example simplified of our process.

Every project takes a slightly different path,

but for an understanding overview of what we do.

And then only projects that meet the highest priorities

move forward.

We have $5 billion in planned projects.

We don't have $5 billion.

And they would take over 100 years

to build everything that we have planned.

And we needed a way to prioritize what we're going after

and what we're investing in.

So between 2020 and 2022, I led the Transportation Priorities

Plan for the City.

I was the staff project manager.

And bringing it back to this Black History Month

and our equitable investments.

These are the five priorities for investment,

but key is equitable investment.

And sorry, my computer goes.

I don't want to make sure I have all my notes,

so I don't forget anything that I'm covering for you.

Equitable investment is really what I'm going to focus on tonight.

And that is providing infrastructure

or neighborhoods that lack basic transportation infrastructure

and benefiting communities that have been a recipients

of racism and bias.

And it wasn't staff who came up with these definitions.

We had an equity round table.

And they informed how this was defined

and how we move forward.

And how that was defined is twofold.

So communities of like basic infrastructure

was identified to be as lacking sidewalks, streetlights,

bikeways, trees, or traffic signals.

And we have that data, so we can look at it.

And we can identify what those neighborhoods are.

And then benefit communities that bear

recipients of racism and bias.

That was defined as a project that

is in an area that is majority black, Latino, Asian,

Pacific Islander, and our indigenous.

So city Sacramento is using race and ethnicity

as a metric for investment.

I'm really proud of the city for doing this work.

And so what does that mean?

Like for you and who you are and where you live

and you're familiar already the city.

Because we tend to have our own biases

and we know our neighborhoods, but we

don't know other parts of the city, which

is why we use data.

And so what you see here on this map

are the green areas are areas of the city that lack basic

transportation infrastructure.

And you'll see it's mostly North Sacramento

and South and Southeast Sacramento.

And so these are the areas where, in part,

we're prioritizing investment.

And then we have the other part of equitable investment

is investing in communities that are majority black, Latino,

Asian, Pacific Islander, and indigenous.

And these yellow areas on the map are those communities.

And you'll notice that there is a lot of overlap

between the two.

And so what we did was our team did an analysis of,

well, what does that mean?

And where are planned projects compared

to our priorities for investment?

And so this map is a combination and an analysis of that.

So if you remember the TPP, we had our map

of all of our planned projects.

So that's what you'll see here.

Purple being high priority, gold being medium

and green being lower priority.

And then the colors of grades on the map

are the different lacking infrastructure

and communities have been intercepted

and it's a race of advice advice.

So we talk about our planned projects.

And 68% of our planned projects and 96%

of our priority plan projects are neighborhoods

that lack basic transportation infrastructure.

69% of our planned projects and 96,

so close, but slightly different,

of our priority plan projects are in neighborhoods

that are majority black, Latino, Asian,

Pacific Islander, and or indigenous.

So what that tells me in our analysis

is that we're moving towards our goals

and that we're investing in planning

to invest in those areas that were identified as priorities.

And then our current projects.

So we're working on an analysis of our current projects.

69% of our current projects are in neighborhoods

that lack basic transportation infrastructure.

And 67% of our, actually,

I say current projects not planned,

so apologies for that.

67% of our current projects are in neighborhoods

that are majority black, Latino, Asian, Pacific Islander,

and indigenous.

So we're moving closer towards our goals.

Our plans are more equitable than our current work,

but again, we're moving the ship

and we're working through our funding strategies on this.

So part of what we're doing is we wanna operationalize,

operationalize racial equity in the work that we're doing.

So investing in, this is back to the original map,

investing in areas that lack basic transportation

infrastructure so that children have somewhere

a sidewalk to walk on where they're going to school

or the ability to cross the street,

or for you to be able to reach your local destinations

or even for recreational for health purposes,

going for a walk with your family.

And then investing in our communities in Sacramento

that have been recipients of racism bias

because they're a significant overlap

and we are committed to racial equity

at the city of Sacramento.

So with that, that is my presentation.

I hope it was informative.

I'm here for any questions that you may have.

And thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Clerk, are there any members of the public

who wish to speak on this item?

Thank you, Chair.

I have no speaker slips on this item.

Thank you.

Are there any commissioners who wish to speak on this item?

Commissioner Banks.

Thank you, as always, for this informative presentation.

It's always great to hear and it's, you know,

it's always just, yeah, really good.

Here's my question.

I'm gonna use Monday night Tuesday night,

Truxel Bridge as an example.

The Truxel Bridge program had a good 10 years

from the first part of planning

to now we're trying to move towards engineering.

And in that 10 years, there's been a lot of change

in values or, you know, the city.

It's, there are more people that are interested

in a walkable, bikeable city, et cetera.

And yet, because, and we, I'm very clear on this,

we understand that the council had directed Sparky

to put forward this smaller choice of possibilities

and one possibility that never made it

because we all said no.

And we were, I think we were right in doing that

in saying that there is no car-free choice.

So in that 10 years, with all of the change,

perhaps in values, et cetera, in people,

is there no mechanism to help have projects

that've been in sitting for a long time

that finally make their way back up into the front of us

to be also brought forward with newer thinking.

Maybe there are new standards that should be applied

or a revisiting of those original choices

that are more inclusive.

I'm curious about that.

Commissioner Banks, I think there are opportunities.

I think there's the different level of council direction.

For the Truxel Bridge, Council's direction

was inherently clear.

And so, staff had to follow that very clear direction

around the Truxel Bridge.

Let's say that we adopt, I'm gonna give one

that was another controversial project,

Free Port Boulevard.

Who here remembers the discussions around Free Port Boulevard?

So Free Port was a project that our team led,

a planning project to identify safety improvements,

mobility improvements, and the commission

and a number of members of the public

were concerned about the lack of a lean reduction.

Something like that, council approve that,

but there is, it's an approval and not a direction.

And so, council, we should we move forward

and we go through the next phase that was planning.

And now we're gonna be going to, whenever we can get funding

for the next phase of Free Port, that preliminary design phase.

And I've already made that clear to our partners

in engineering that they call for a lean reduction

was pretty big and can we look at that

as part of the evaluation of that.

And so the answer is it depends.

And so I think Truxel's pretty unique in that

the direction from council back in 2013 was inherently

and incredibly clear.

And so, I'll leave it at that.

Yeah.

Commissioner Moore.

For the presentation, and thank you

and everybody else's work to create all of these

equitable outcomes and the planning processes.

Certainly, maybe now more than ever.

I am curious if you have a rough estimation

of the proportion of funding that is federal funding

that you all seek or use for planning efforts

and how, right, this focus on equity,

which I think is incredibly valuable and needed

is going to be considered against the current political climate.

Yeah.

Commissioner Moore, that's a really great question.

So we're evaluating right now,

which of our projects have federal funding?

What projects may be affected by the executive orders?

And I mean, in some cases, we have received top work orders.

In some cases, we have not.

And so it's evolving.

I would say that, well, the city of Sacramento

has undoubtedly committed to racial equity.

We will find the best funding programs for our projects

and address their goals.

So let's say, for example, that we're going to be seeking

federal funding, just say Northgate,

as an example, I'm on a Northgate kick tonight.

That is an equity project.

It's also a safety project.

It's also an economic development project.

And so let's say that this potential grant program

did not address equity or safety.

What we would do is then tell the story

about the economic development challenges

along the court of the need for access

and those sorts of things.

So we can tell the story that is needed

as long as funding is available.

Got it.

Appreciate that.

Thank you.

There are no other speakers.

So this item is receive and file.

So no vote is required.

And we will move on to the next item,

which is number five.

The City of Sacramento Bicycle Parking Program 2025 update

is there a, yes, there is a staff presentation.

Hello, good evening commissioners.

My name's Jeff Gelsman, a transportation planner

with Public Works.

And I'm joined tonight with our Civic Spark Fellow,

Graham De Leon, who has been helping out tremendously

with the Bike Parking Program.

And so we're excited to give him an update

since we last spoke about this in 2022.

So for, oops.

Fortunately, agenda will quick introduction of the program

and then go over some new developments in the program

for the private property pilot, the Bike Coral Program,

as well as the secure Bike Parking Pile.

Bike Parking is installed throughout the city.

Either through the Public Bike Parking Program,

through Public and Private Development Projects,

or at existing buildings by the property owner.

As pictured in the Bike Rack map,

the majority of the 7500 bike raps

are located in the central city.

The Grey Dots represent privately installed bike racks

while the public bike racks are represented in blue.

Bike Parking in the city can be installed

in a number of ways.

First, residents and businesses can submit an application

to the city at no cost through 311

and our website sacramentalbikes.org.

Staff will review the request and ensure

that the site adheres to placement and design guidelines

and then install the Bike Rack.

Secondly, working with businesses and private property owners,

we can install bike racks to ensure customers

have places to park their bikes.

Third, staff determined locations based on demand

from through and one citations shared writable data,

opportunity areas, and staff driven locations

which include commercial and multifamily parcels citywide.

A challenge with the Public Bicycle Parking Program

is limited city ride-of-way outside of the central city.

City right-of-way typically consists of sidewalks, streets,

and publicly owned property such as parks,

community centers, and libraries.

Due to limited right-of-way, there is difficulty

installing bike racks outside of the central city.

Another challenge is the lack of long-term

publicly available bike parking.

According to the City of Sacramento Police Department,

for the period between March 2019 through February 2024,

a total of 2,322 bikes were reported stolen

over this five-year period, or an average of 465 bikes per year.

And as e-bikes become more popular,

the fear of bike theft prevents people

from biking to everyday destinations.

The image shown here is of the city's

shared writable opportunity areas,

which 20% of the shared writable businesses

must deploy their fleets each morning.

To address these pressing challenges,

the city is pursuing several innovative solutions

to expand bike parking options,

such as the Private Property Pilot,

the Bike Coral Program,

and the Secure Bike Parking Pilot.

Okay, so the Private Property Pilot

will be addressing those challenges

that Graham mentioned with the limited city right-of-way

outside of the central city.

By working with property owners to install

bike parking on private property,

in opportunity areas outside the central city,

in particular, in those shared writable opportunity areas.

So city staff are focusing on providing bike parking

at neighborhood retail and multi-family parcels.

And the first successful private property installation

was at the Talock Village Shopping Center, shown here,

which is on 14th and 61st.

And so we were able to install 10 bike racks

at various places on the property

so that folks could get donuts or have a beer

or get some pizza, which is really great.

We have a second private property location

on Franklin Boulevard at La Suranza.

That's in the works, so we're really excited about that.

And hopefully plenty more.

And then the Bike Corral Program,

it's been around.

It's an effort to expand bike parking for folks

going to coffee shops or different retail in the city.

And so we have to coordinate with businesses

or private property owners to install those bike corrals

at no cost to the business or property owner on street.

And pictured here is the Choclo Fish Coffee House

on Valayjo in Lampark, which is one example of a bike corral

in the city.

One caveat with the bike corrals is it does require

a sponsorship for the adjacent property owner or business

to help with basic maintenance, like debris in the fall

when we get a lot of leaves to help with drainage

just because the street sweepers can't reach the curb there.

Yeah, it's just a basic sponsorship

that we require for the bike corrals.

And then a new development is the city's

secure bike parking pilot.

And so the Bike Parking Program installs short term bike racks

at location citywide.

And so short term racks are typically for two hours or less

when folks usually value convenience over security.

And so long term parking is typically for any use over two hours

when users are more likely to value that security

and shelter about the convenience and ease of short term parking.

And so the city is looking to expand the current network

of publicly available secure bike parking.

And we plan on publishing a request for proposals

for later this month or early in March

to solicit vendors that install those secure bike parking

facilities at up to five locations citywide.

To help improve bike parking throughout the city,

please submit a request online at sacrameno bikes.org

or notify staff of over employment of shared rideables

by submitting a 3-1-1.

Thank you so much.

Please let us know if you have any questions or comments.

Thank you very much.

Clerk, are there any members of the public who wish to speak on this item?

Chair, I have no speaker slips on this item.

Thank you.

Are there any commissioners who wish to speak on this item?

Commissioner Gibson.

Hi, thank you all for the presentation that I have update for this program.

Two questions. So when you say private property,

how inclusive or exclusive is that?

So for example, a stereotypical single family home in one of the suburbs.

Would that be a place where someone could put a bike rack if they had a big enough yard or space?

Yeah, that was a great question.

So in the staff work, we outlined kind of the criteria that we're looking at

for installing private property.

So a number of them is like neighborhood retail or publicly facing uses

that folks would want to use their bike.

So it would more or less exclude like a single family home.

Multi-family housing would be a candidate though, just because they would have that extra use of a lot of different folks living

in that particular parcel, but a single family home would likely be not a good candidate.

Yeah, thank you.

And then the other category schools.

If a school district wants to install one at one of their schools, would they fall in kind of one of those bins?

Schools is a great question.

Schools have their own jurisdiction over their property.

Obviously, they're private property owners, but they have their own funding for those types of facilities.

And so we would want to make sure to utilize that funding in the best way possible.

So getting into areas that might not otherwise install those types of facilities.

Like retail or other types of private property that might be of fall in that criteria.

And so now that I'm getting better, saying what Nero does and doesn't qualify as the current, what you guys currently envision.

How much funding is there currently planned and how many different types of bike racks would that kind of be?

Again, ballpark.

It's a pilot, so it's really just kind of getting up the ground at the moment.

So we don't have like a necessarily like a dedicated funding source.

It's coming from the bike parking program itself, which does get funding annually in the amount of around $60,000.

Okay, thank you very much.

Commissioner Liseya Cruz.

Just one question.

What is the cost of long term bike parking in terms of like install like installing it?

That's a great question. We're actively figuring that out.

We've had a number of different conversations with vendors who are doing this type of work in other cities.

We were really inspired from a number of other cities in the country like New York, San Francisco, Minneapolis have recently launched secure bike parking pilots.

And so I've been able to talk with a number of different vendors who are providing those types of facilities.

It's a big range. I've seen like the lockers themselves with they only have like one to two spaces and they tend to be more inclined for like the sport cyclists with the drop handlebars, not like a bigger cargo bike or anything like that.

Those tend to be a little bit more expensive on the per space, whereas like some other facilities that we've seen like in San Francisco, Minneapolis, like a bike hanger.

It looks like an airport hanger kind of and it comes up and you could fit like six or eight bikes in there.

And so on the per space dramatically less.

And so we'll have to wait and see what we get in terms of the proposals, but it could be a number or a wide range.

Okay. Thank you.

Commissioner Banks.

Thanks. Thanks you guys. Thanks Graham. Great job.

Appreciate having you guys be here to talk to us about this. I have a couple questions.

I'm really curious about the bike corrals and whether or not they could be placed in areas that we are now going to work on daylighting.

It seems like a natural good place to put some bike parking and it allows cars, sea cyclists, cyclists to see, you know, the lane of travel, especially at those corners.

So I'm curious about that because if we're going to we're taking away parking spaces, so that's not going to be something that a business is going to be very excited about.

So that leads me into part two of my question, which is could there be other organizations that sponsor that bike corral, for example, a neighborhood association or Saba or fill in the blank that help keep it clean, et cetera, once it gets built in a day lit space.

Yeah. Great question. So in terms of the new opportunity with the day lighting, that's definitely an opportunity for bike parking and bike corrals in particular.

Within reason with the context, so if there's like drainage inlets or fire hydrant, we have to be coagulated those things, obviously.

But yeah, if we were able to get some kind of sponsorship agreement with like an adjacent business who could help with the basic maintenance, then I think that could be a great candidate for bike corral.

And then to answer the other question, it depends on the capacity of the organization.

I think in a lot of cities, like a property business improvement district has been a really good fit for something like that for like a downtown or a central city.

But I think we're open to the conversations with those just really depends on the context, how many corrals they would want to sponsor and how they would go about doing that.

Thanks.

Thank you, Chair. Thank you, Jeff and Graham, for the great presentation. I'd like to see all this cool information about bike parking commissioner.

Banks kind of just stole my thunder. I was going to ask a summer question about day lighting, but perhaps not in front of businesses, but more in front of residential areas.

And I'm thinking more district six where I serve. I spent the weekend speaking to some neighbors on 58 street between Broadway and 11s who are constantly challenged by people using it as a cut through.

And looking at some of these intersections where we have stop signs and thinking about the potential use of day lighting to number one, obviously remove parking from the street where people don't really park any ways, but it's private it.

But then to adding bike parking there to create kind of almost a quasi technical or even quick build narrowing of the lane with something that was kind of thinking as a potential possibility.

I just want to also commend you for using the picture from the Tallyk village in my backyard, which we really like having those bike parking sponsored by the city on private property.

I believe that was the first location where that was installed.

We also have some bike parking already in front of a residence. My neighbor, Kyland has the bike parking installed in front of us.

And I was like, well, I'm going to ask you all the time, like, how did that happen? Did you get it for free? And then they just totally blown away by it.

So it really heartened by the presentation and would love to continue here reports as you progress.

Commissioner Harris.

Presentation.

Great presentation. What do you possible pull up the map of the locations?

I'm going to go ahead and do that.

This one?

Nope. All the actual city funded dots.

Having just heard about equity in our planments, I can't help but notice a clustering.

I understand that this probably has a lot to do with the availability of sidewalks because I can't help but remember that we have no sidewalks in my neighborhood in Hagenwood where there are also not one bicycle parking.

I want to bring up, I know it's a tough con issue and you're not going to solve that.

But you guys are coming up with a program plan for trying to make it better.

And we talk about equity a lot.

And I want everyone to be aware that we talk a lot about the need for a place to put that bike when you get off of it that's safe.

And so by not having sidewalks, we also have made it harder for people to safely park their bicycle in a community that is reliant and has a higher need from a lack of having access to cars in

the city.

In district two.

And I brought this up before.

We have several areas along the light rail line there that have been indicated by the city as being suitable to not put side or not to have parking requirements and rely on sidewalks and I've talked about my.

And we talked about the bicycle parking on multifamily that we wanted to have some sort of requirement and we don't have safe ways to get there.

So when we're talking about this program, if you could please come out to North Sacramento and take a look at what it really looks like.

These are easy to put in programs and I am for them.

They are gorgeous.

I love that people love them.

I love that people keep reinforcing the same great areas so people with sidewalks can are more comfortable bike so they get more places to park the bikes.

And then there's more businesses that move to those areas that can afford more bike parking and more outdoor development.

And I just want you to be really cognizant of that as you go through because it's really unsafe and really hard to bike in our Sacramento.

So if you could be thoughtful and think about ways you could help reduce that inequity, I appreciate it.

I appreciate that comment.

With the Bike Parking program, we do recognize that the majority of the racks are in Central City and that is in part due to the infrastructure and the right of way with the wider sidewalks, etc.

The more businesses be able to do the bike corrals and we have been focusing on North and South Sacramento and Southeast Sacramento.

And so it is the hope that these different pilots that we are rolling out will help expand that network.

But yeah, appreciate the comment.

Commissioner Moore.

Again, thank you for the presentation.

And looking to maybe address some of these or explore options, I'm, as there have been opportunity given the lack of public right away for any kind of incentivization of private entities to adopt by parking either the city paying them.

Given that would reduce their maintenance costs on roadways and we could see that as a return on investment or some type of more indirect way like a tax credit or something that they would get for implementing some of these in there.

I love the idea. I think both of those are a little bit of my pay grade.

And I'm hoping that the incentive of a free rack is incentive enough.

But yeah, we're always looking to expand the network and any ideas is worthwhile.

But I'm not sure if we would have the budget to be able to make any kind of financial incentives.

Yeah, I'm sure. Yeah, I know we're in tight fiscal times.

Another thing I wanted to bring up as a consideration is I'm not sure way I believe the bike parking standards are being updated.

I'm not sure where those are getting housed.

So I guess one asking that but two, the current requirement is within 200 feet of the destination they serve.

Maybe that can be reduced to something like a hundred feet getting closer to exits.

Certainly not a surefire way to reduce.

Um, I mean, I think that's the best way to get that out of the way to get that out of the way.

You know, theft and things of those short term short term bike racks, but getting it closer to populated areas where people are going in and out maybe does have an effect on reducing people.

Either stealing or Van der Leising bikes.

Uh, a maximum. So I think getting it closer is definitely the preferred for sure.

Commissioner Gibson.

So I had an idea that might be helpful.

Um, actually really good conversation from Harris to more went about how to, um, not just incentivize getting the pilot program with the regular bike racks on.

Um, is there a member of the city staff or intern or just some excited city member that wants to just canvas a knock a bunch of doors in an afternoon or evening.

I was pulled up Grant High School. I saw four churches and one is Lomick Center just within, I guess, probably one or two square miles.

If there's somebody that just wants to go knock on some of these community centers doors, probably on a Sunday.

Um, to say, would you like some bike racks?

I love that idea and I will take that up as the district to if the city could provide me some information.

I am trying to get more active and I would be happy to share this at the upcoming district to leaders meeting.

What a great idea.

This makes me really happy.

Um, so I already have some outreach materials like flyers and stuff like that that have already made my spare time.

Um, and so, um, yeah, really happy to hear this.

And happy to facilitate that.

Yeah.

Great. Yeah, I worked a lot of political campaigns.

So I'm used to knocking on a lot of doors in the afternoon.

Just get some good shoes and some sunscreen and a hat.

Yeah, I mean, most of the time when I'm out and about like getting a coffee, I'll just chat with the cafe and they're usually pretty amenable to having bike parking at their establishment.

So, um, it's a pretty easy sell.

Well, if there's any cafes to recommend in Hagenwood or Del Paso Heights, I'm sure Commissioner Harris might have some suggestions.

So we do have Swift, which is a shift.

So shift a copy, which I just want to say is kind of ironic because they do have a car theme.

Maybe we could also have them be like switch the whole theme to be a bike theme.

Like instead of.

So, I'm going to have to go back to the next item.

Thank you.

This was a.

Everybody done.

Yes.

This was a receive and discuss.

So thank you very much for the presentation.

And we will move on to the next item.

Did I do where there are members of the public that wanted to speak on this item or did we already see one?

Number six, the Active Transportation Commission log for 2025.

A discussion.

Is there a staff presentation?

Yes.

Yes, there is.

This thing works.

Sorry about that.

Good evening.

Jeff Jell-Smile, a transition planner with the Department of Public Works.

So I'm here tonight to talk about the log and update that since we last spoke last year about the log.

Okay.

So for context, the current log format was developed after Commissioner comments and discussion at the February 2022 ATC meeting.

And so each log item must be sponsored by a commissioner along with four criteria that's required to place an item on the log, which include the title, the question to be answered, how does it relate to the commission duties and powers and how does it respond to the ATC equity statement?

So in addition to those four criteria that a day added in the status of the item is also included on the log.

And so then items that have been completed are then removed from the log.

So a quick update on the process of the log in case anyone is not familiar.

So commissioners can do introduce an item at the end of a commission meeting, typically under the commission comments.

And the commissioner must send a notification to the commission staff answering those four required questions that I mentioned earlier to add that into the log.

Once received the item will appear in the next commission log, next month's commission log.

And if approved on consent, then the earliest possible presentation to the commission on that item would be the subsequent month.

So if we had a log put on the item or sorry an item put on the log this month and then it was approved at next month's meeting, then the earliest possible presentation would be in April.

Another process to get it on the log would be a fast track, which is a commissioner could pull the ATC log from the consent calendar and take a separate motion to add an item to the log effectively adding it in at the commission.

And so the earliest possible presentation could be that next month.

So some action items for tonight.

There are five of them. Five items on the log currently that have a sponsor who is no longer on the commission.

So the first item is the implementation of the statement of equity, which would be remove and confirm a new commissioner.

The next item is the enforcement of instruction in the sidewalks.

These are all the same action would be the removed the current commissioner and confirm a new sponsor.

The next item would be the ATC community award as well as the enforcement of obstructions in the bike lane and then the 311 process for issues between the people walking and biking and rolling.

So a couple of questions to get the discussion is not to be comprehensive or you don't have to answer these outright but just are there items on the long that should be removed.

And is there a commissioner who wishes to sponsor items that do not currently have a commissioner on the commission, which is those five items I mentioned.

Yeah.

I do have the full log as well. The highlighted ones are the ones that I mentioned.

So those those three and then those two right here.

That's my presentation. Any questions or comments.

Oh, sorry.

Commissioner Wadwani.

I think this is a question first. I did my homework and I looked at this but I still wasn't entirely clear on what the log was.

Is it a response the sponsoring commissioner? Is it a request from them for staff to come back with the information or is it?

Are we giving each other presentations?

No, it's a great question. So most of the items are requests for staff to present on that particular subject like the enforcement of instructions and bike lanes like how does the city currently enforce those instructions and we would the staff would work to bring a presentation to the ATC so that folks getting informed on any particular theme.

There are some that are commission driven like the ATC community ward so that staff would merely just help with the process but that would be driven by the commissioner themselves.

So the sponsorship is just simply saying I'd like to hear this.

Yeah, so you'd be like the shepherd of the item.

Okay, I'm happy to volunteer to be the sponsor for a couple of valleys.

Okay, I was thinking the two on obstruction if no one else wants them.

The bike lane and sidewalk.

Sidewalk.

Go for it. I'll take the sidewalks.

So there's a third related item which is just the overall 311 process for people walking a bike in which is similar to those two.

So I could take two of them. If you want the commissioner banks wants the bike lanes commissioner banks.

I was just going to say it I would like to take on bike lanes obstructions and bike lanes.

Great.

Commissioner Moore.

Did I see some from date added from 2022 that were still active and if so what what is what happens in the delay like what causes.

Yeah, so the implementation of the statement of equity that is a commission driven item.

So that's really on the commission order to that for that to be removed from the log.

Okay, I mean I do want to take it so I can help and choose it.

Commissioner Moore if I may.

Yeah, there are a number of items on the log from 2022 that staff will bring forward such as annual update on vision zero.

And that is purely a staff capacity challenge that we just don't have the resources to pull the data in order to provide it in a comprehensive way for our folk.

Part of our goal with doing a couple things one we brought a new analyst on board Leon who is helping us with sending up dashboards.

So to help us move forward and we are also looking at how we do our reporting and analysis so it's easier to pull right now we don't have a repository to say what projects have cross walks or what projects have some of the things identified in the vision zero action plan.

And so we're working on a process to make it easier to pull that.

Thank you.

Appreciate that response.

I volunteered to take the implementation of the statement of equity.

Which one?

I'm sorry I couldn't hear you.

Sorry, the statement of equity.

Statement of equity.

Yeah.

Okay.

I could you flip back to the previous list.

I would like to suggest that we remove the ATC Community Award while I think it's a great idea.

I think this commission has plenty to do without taking that on.

I don't personally want to do that one so I'm in support of that if anybody else wants to go for it.

I'm going to say we should remove it because I'm not hearing any objections or anyone willing to take it on.

So that leaves Jeff I think one left that doesn't have that's it.

Oh, you've got them all.

You have a sponsor for all of them.

Okay, great.

Thank you commission.

3-1-1.

Yes.

Would you recap who's doing what?

I can do the recap toy.

So the enforcement of those instructions in the bike lane will be with commissioner banks.

Sidewalk obstructions as well as the 3-1-1 process would be with commissioner Wadwani.

The implementation of the equity would statement would be with commissioner Moore and then remove the ATC Community Award from the log.

Did you cover the 3-1-1 process for issues pertaining to people walking biking and rolling?

I did.

Yeah, sorry.

I abbreviated it.

Oh, okay.

Okay, so they're all covered.

There are.

Okay.

Thank you.

Great.

There, I believe that the next item is.

I'm going to talk to me.

Is public comments matters not on the agenda?

Are there any members of the public who wish to speak on public comments matters not on the agenda?

Thank you chair.

And just for the record, we had no speaker slips on item six.

And for public comment, we have no speaker slips.

Okay.

Commissioner comments, ideas and questions.

Are there any commissioners who wish to speak?

Commissioner Gibson.

Since our last ATC meeting, unfortunately, there have been three people walking biking and rolling that passed away on our streets.

On January 19th, a man 36 years old died on Highway 15 or 50, excuse me, near the 15th Street Exit.

On February 2nd, an 81 year old man in a wheelchair with Shocking Code near East Stockton Boulevard at Power and Road.

And then yesterday, there was a hidden run at 8 p.m. on North B and Dost Rio streets.

This was the same place where a collision took place where an SUV ran over three people on a tent in April last year.

I believe all three of those people that survived.

And thank you to our law enforcement for detaining the person who did the hidden run promptly.

And then there were two people who died just outside of the city limits at the Sacramento's Roseville Road homeless shelter.

Actually, also yesterday, a man 62 was reported to have died.

And then reported in the SACB, I believe, just yesterday.

Wendy Cornell was Shocking Code while cycling.

Actually, on the same day as our ATC meeting, January 16th.

Thank you.

Commissioner Harris.

I'm not sure if it's the unfortunate but perfect segue.

I'd like to request an item to be added to the log.

Given the two deaths that have taken place at the Roseville Road campus, which is, as I understand it, a city run homeless shelter.

Reading the article, it did state that city staff had assured safe access to the light rail station.

And I don't know that that's true.

But I would like to add to the log a request on whether a study was done as to safe access from that facility for pedestrians.

These are people who I think we'd all agree best to find an equity issue.

They are homeless and they are under the city's care and have been put into place that they have been instructed to go to, as I understand it, reading the article, with the alternative being jail.

So I would write you a statement and I understand that nothing may have been done and that the B's article could be incorrect.

But it is that the case, and that is the presentation, and I understand it is a county road, but it is a city facility.

And I'd like it to be known what was done to analyze safety if nothing was done.

We've had two deaths in a month.

And I find it particularly hard, these issues, as somebody who lives very close to the county line, a lot of our most unsafe streets are at that connection between the city and the county's jurisdiction.

And I'd like us to start talking about that.

That's not going to be a my.

I can't ask for that, but you know, it does seem to happen a lot that those unsafe intersections occur where no one seems to be responsible.

And I don't want these deaths to go without some consideration of what we've done to prevent more deaths because this is a pretty clear pattern.

My second request doesn't really go into the log unless it's deemed to be I was thinking about the equity statement.

When staff gives presentation, I request that an outline of the city be included because I don't think most people understand how far North Sacramento goes.

It goes past I.A.B. Did you know that if the answer was no, that's what I'd like to be solved.

And I think it's really important for staff to start including that in all of their analyze documents. You kind of think arguments all the way out there.

I regularly not all the time becoming less frequent have to inform staff that yes, I do live in the city.

And so I would like the city to take it upon itself to put the outline so you can see exactly how far the gaps go.

Outside the central city or use a district map or whatever else, but I'd like that to be included. Thank you.

Commissioner Banks.

Thanks. I want to bring something forward that's.

That's about somebody who has passed away Maggie Harrington and her husband Tom.

And Maggie and Tom both worked for many, many years in transportation.

Maggie had a hand in helping to get a bike lane created on 34th Street.

You want to make sure I've got this right.

Tom would love to honor Maggie with a sign that is right over that bike lane if possible.

And my question here is, and it looks like the sign might be on a freeway, which I know the immediate thing as well.

That's a culture and conversation and it might be.

But my question here is, what are the steps that we could the active transportation commission take some steps to help make this happen?

Is that a log item? And just curious like what are the steps to have a sign, you know, Maggie Harrington bike lane right over this lane that she helped create?

Is that something that we could do?

Commissioner Banks, we have a process and a policy for signs.

I'll have to go back and look at that.

Let me look into that. I don't know if it's a serial log item, but let me check with the folks that manage that policy and program to see what the process and steps would be.

I will definitely say that getting something on a cal trans facility is probably going to extend it by a number of years.

And so there might be other ways or other locations that might be easier done.

That would be amazing. Thank you so much for some assistance on just what are the steps?

Vice Chair, Gonzalez.

Thank you, Chair. And thank you, Commissioner Banks, for bringing that up.

That's a great idea to do. And it's good to hear that Tom is ready to proceed with that.

He's been obviously mourning the past in Maggie for a little while here, but glad to hear he's ready.

I heard that idea come out of his mouth as well.

Last month, we had a presentation from cal trans relating to the state rough, the one bridge.

And we heard a lot about what cal trans is doing or not doing.

I have a request from a constituent who would like to know if we could add to the log what the city may or may not be doing to connect to the facility when it's completed.

I don't know what our plans are for that or that's in the works.

Vice Chair Gonzalez, so the quick answer is north of the rivers, the county, because it's the parkway.

So the city can't answer or address that.

South of the river, it will be connected into the river's trail, which is a project in process.

There's phase two and phase three. Phase two is moving forward with the exception of the gap under the U.P. cross-ing rail bridge, which working to address.

And that will probably be addressed through phase three.

So essentially, you'll be connecting to the two rivers trail, which is an ongoing effort.

And beyond that, there are no other efforts at the city's working on that at this point.

If you'd like more as a presentation, I can bring back Adam Randolph, who is the project manager for two rivers, but he's presented here a number of times.

I'm not done yet, but yeah.

I wouldn't mind, actually, because I just like to know how it's going to tie in specifically to the state route, the D1 bridge, and all the infrastructure we heard about last month.

So, you know, at a time that permits, not in a rush, but when there's actually some good answers or updates below two.

And then lastly, I just, I gotta do a shameless plug.

Tomorrow, I'm going to be writing a stationary bike for 12 hours in the lobby of the YMCA in an effort to raise $20,000 for a local YMCA.

It's my 10th and final annual birthday bike ride.

So, any fans of active transportation or cycling who would like to write alongside me, there are, I'll be on a bike and there's two bikes next to me.

You can jump on for 30 minutes an hour, get a workout, have some fun.

The news crews will all be there.

People will be stopping in all day.

Councilmember Maple and Guarabal sponsors.

And it's a good cause and it's a lot of fun.

And if you don't do it now, you're, I'm never going to do it again.

So, now it's the time to do it.

But that's all.

Shameless plug.

Happy birthday.

I do want to say that I did bring up the, that crossing to the District 2 Councilman.

And also representative of Ami Barr's office.

No easy answers, but trying to highlight the opportunities north of the river.

So, happy to talk to you about that.

And finally, I have a picture I'd like to share and just a kind of a shout out to, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, and the North, the Thomas Library.

Recently, they donated, they rode over and brought five e-bikes.

They're there in the picture and are donating them to the North, the Thomas Library.

And I don't think that they were still ironing out the process, the checkout process and everything involved with it.

So, I don't think they're available until the first of the month.

But we have a bike lending, bikes in the library for lending.

So, and we're hoping it goes better than colonial heights did.

So, I think we've learned from that.

Well, we were learning.

Okay. Thank you. I see no other things going on here.

So, this concludes today's agenda.

Thank you, everyone, for your participation and the meeting is adjourned.
