Summary

King City — The Transportation Agency of Monterey County (TAMC) presented a draft King City Vision Zero Safety Plan at the June 9 council meeting, and the council voted to move the plan forward toward future adoption.
Doug Bilse, principal engineer for TAMC, delivered the presentation and solicited council and community comments for near-term adoption. Council discussion focused on safety measures and outreach: Mayor Mike LeBarre asked that electric bicycles and scooters be explicitly included in the plan, suggested partnering with a youth organization for outreach, and recommended signage at intersections reminding people to look both ways.
After discussion the council approved a motion to move staff's recommendation, advancing the draft plan toward the next steps in the adoption process. The minutes record no public testimony on the item. The motion carried with Mayor LeBarre, Mayor Pro Tem Carlos DeLeon, Councilmembers Carlos Victoria and Oscar Avalos voting aye; Councilmember Rob Cullen was absent.
