BPAC reviews 2025 report, backs discretionary projects and funding priorities
Summary
BPAC reviewed its 2025 annual report and 2026 work plan, confirmed staff will submit the report to the city manager, and prioritized discretionary funds for a curb cut at the Greenway entrance, new signage for a bike boulevard and an artistic bike rack (estimated cost unknown; construction/installation options discussed).
BPAC members reviewed their 2025 annual report and proposed work plan for 2026 and agreed to forward the documents to the city manager after a brief internal review. Staff summarized the committee’s 2025 activities and highlighted continuing outreach such as the bike rodeo and festival tabling.
“Every year, we make an annual report that recaps what BPAC did,” Mitchell Pinsky, the city planner supporting BPAC, said while presenting slides that listed last year’s discretionary‑fund projects and candidate projects for 2026.
The committee discussed three proposed uses of the city’s $10,000 annual BPAC discretionary allocation: a curb cut to improve Greenway access on Corregidor Street, may‑use‑full‑lane signage and sharrows for a designated bike boulevard, and an artistic bike rack for the new downtown parklet. Katie Jones (chair) read the fund limit for committee planning: “We have a certain amount of money, designated by the city, $10,000, annually,” she said.
Members noted the bike rack’s estimated construction cost was still to be determined; one staff estimate for a rack piece was discussed as roughly $3,000 if sourced and installed locally, with potential savings if the city performs installation. The committee agreed to pursue design input at upcoming festivals and to refine cost estimates before committing funds.
BPAC also agreed to circulate the final annual report and give members a few days for edits before staff submits it to the city manager and city council for information. The committee will return to detailed design and procurement questions for each discretionary project at a follow‑up meeting.
