Complete Streets and Safety Committee approves 2026 work plan to send to Brisbane City Council
Summary
The committee approved a six-topic 2026 work plan — including traffic calming on Visitation Avenue and a Safe Routes to School project for Brisbane Elementary — and will present a concise draft to the City Council while retaining a more detailed internal working copy.
The Complete Streets and Safety Committee voted to approve its 2026 work plan on a voice vote at its March meeting and will forward the draft to Brisbane City Council for consideration. Committee member Cabrera moved to approve the outline and Vice Chair Buscout seconded; Chair Warwick said, “So this draft goes to the City council. Let's see what they say.”
The plan lists six priorities: addressing speeding and traffic-safety issues on Visitation Avenue, participating in the county Office of Education’s cycle 5 Safe Routes to School fellowship focused on Brisbane Elementary School, evaluating commercial truck circulation and freight safety, conducting a citywide sidewalk and crosswalk audit, reviewing bicycle-route infrastructure, and assessing wayfinding and signage. Staff said the Safe Routes fellowship emphasizes community outreach and “soft” quick-build improvements intended to be installed before the next school year to test concepts before pursuing permanent grant-funded changes. As S5 (staff member) put it, “the goal is before the next school year, have the soft improvements installed.”
Committee members debated how much technical detail to include in the packet going to council. Staff recommended sending a concise, council‑facing outline while keeping a more detailed internal working draft so council does not become mired in unfinished specifics. The committee will present the draft to council in early April and expects follow-up direction on which corridors or improvements to prioritize.
The vote moves a unified set of priorities forward while preserving staff flexibility to develop detailed scopes, timelines and cost estimates for higher‑cost items. The committee also discussed next steps for volunteer-led audits and potential consultant work where technical analysis or traffic warrants are required. The committee adjourned with staff scheduled to share revised materials and survey attachments prior to the council presentation.
