Title
Approve the Design Development of Fair Oaks Bike Lanes and Streetscape Project
Report
SUMMARY OF COMMISSION ACTION
The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission (BPAC) considered this item on April 20, 2017. BPAC Commissioner Oey moved to accept Design Alternatives A for all three segments of Fair Oaks Avenue. The vote was 4-0, with Commissioner Okuzumi and Commissioner Welch absent (Attachment 15 - Excerpt of Draft BPAC meeting minutes).
Staff presented a report to the BPAC (17-0309) and provided information on the design alternatives listed below. The Commissioners held a discussion and determined that a Class II on-street striped bike lane would be beneficial along Segment 1 (Old San Francisco Road to Evelyn Avenue), and along a portion of Segment 2 (between California and Arques Avenues). Due to right of way constraints and traffic volumes, the Commission agreed with Staff's recommendation for Class III "sharrows" along a portion of Segment 2 (Kifer Road to California Avenue) and Segment 3 (Wolfe Road to Ahwanee Avenue).
