Bicycle-Pedestrian Advisory Board urges year‑round street accessibility, low‑cost safety changes
Summary
Shane Paul, chair of the Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Board, presented three priorities: year‑round accessibility for streets and sidewalks, low‑cost quick safety improvements such as speed management, and coordinated planning with community partners; committee then tabled the item.
Shane Paul, newly appointed chair of the Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Board, presented the board’s general recommendations to the Committee on Community Development on April 21.
Paul said the BPAB’s priorities are threefold: ensure year‑round accessibility for streets and sidewalks so they remain usable in winter; pursue low‑cost, quick safety changes such as speed management and small design upgrades that have demonstrated safety benefits; and plan for a future that includes all road users through stronger coordination between city staff and community partners.
Paul said the board is not proposing radical changes but rather advocating existing best practices used in other cities and offered the BPAB’s support for implementation. After the presentation the committee moved to table the BPAB recommendations for further consideration.
