The Calistoga City Council accepted the Active Transportation Advisory Committee’s (ATAC) FY24–25 goals on July 9, endorsing a list of projects that staff said are funded in the adopted fiscal plan.

Melinda, who introduced herself as ATAC chair, outlined five priorities: a Grama Street multiuse pathway tied to the Grant Street rehabilitation; traffic-calming work with Caltrans on Foothill Boulevard to improve crossings for students and residents; continued design work on the South Oak Street Bridge; a flashing-beacon crosswalk on Brannon Street to improve pedestrian safety; and a citywide update to the active transportation plan (the prior revision dated to 2014).

Councilmembers welcomed the agenda, noted the projects’ potential to support Safe Routes to School and pedestrian safety, and moved to accept the committee’s goals. Staff and council confirmed funding for the listed projects was included in the FY24–25 budget.

What’s next: Staff and ATAC will continue community outreach on specific projects and return with implementation steps as designs and permitting progress.
