Urban Trails Committee forms bike-count and walk-audit subcommittees
Summary
The Urban Trails Committee voted to form two subcommittees to manage spring bike counts and walk audits and invited volunteers to staff them; the committee noted Sunshine Act limits on subcommittee size and encouraged coordination with city staff for technical support.
The Urban Trails Committee voted to create two new subcommittees to support its spring active-transportation efforts.
Eric, the committee staff member, told the group the items had been discussed previously and that one subcommittee would focus on bike counts and the other on walk audits. He asked for volunteers and said the city prefers subcommittees to copy city staff on correspondence. "We could do it in one motion if you wanted," he said while describing the expected roles and cadence of the groups.
A motion to form a bike-count subcommittee naming Diana and Kareem passed after a second; members then discussed the technical workload for walk audits and whether the city’s IT or GIS teams could support data management. One member said they were willing to volunteer but raised concerns about the time commitment and technical complexity. The committee approved a separate walk-audit subcommittee and recorded at least one volunteer to staff it.
Committee members noted state open-meeting (Sunshine Act) limits on subcommittee membership and agreed subcommittee decisions would be brought back to the full Urban Trails Committee for formal votes. Eric said he would follow up with staff and send instructions to subcommittee members.
The committee asked volunteers to coordinate with city staff on logistics and to ensure city staff are copied on correspondence so actions remain transparent.
