Manor Park into a Dog Park  
Jim Stark informed the Commission that Council approved the donation for the East  
Channel Trail Study (RTC 22-0542). Bicyclist and Pedestrian Advisory  
Commission's study is a 5.78-mile Class I shared-use path trail between the Bay  
Trail and Homestead Road, and would include the trail near Ortega Park referenced  
in the Parks and Recreation Commission's proposed study issue. The East Channel  
Trail Study is required to evaluate the existing conditions, identifying design  
constraints, determine trail alignment(s), and evaluate alternatives at the crossings  
and at currently unplanned bike boulevard segments. Jim noted that BPAC's study  
issue will include extensive outreach and more than likely make rounds through the  
PRC and Sustainability Commission.  
After group discussion, Chair Giri withdrew the study issue.
