Commission recommends renaming sidepath and asks datacenter developers to help fund construction

Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission · June 11, 2026

Summary

Members proposed renaming the "South Corridor Sidepath" to "New Design Sidepath" for consistency and discussed adding language requesting datacenter developers contribute to construction costs as part of Community Benefit Agreements.

Commissioners agreed to rename the "South Corridor Sidepath" to "New Design Sidepath" to maintain consistency with historical documents and requested adding language that would encourage datacenter developers to contribute to sidepath construction. Vice Chair Lib Rood advanced the naming change and included a note to ask datacenters to fund construction as part of Recommendation 2.

John "JT" Thomas clarified a related recommendation asking the State to allow County DPW to post 25 mph speed limits where appropriate, and he asked for clearer legal language regarding donating land for trail easements, saying current language is unclear or does not exist. Several commissioners, including Rick Ludwick, expressed reservations about moving the datacenter funding suggestion forward without additional research; the commission removed slides 10–11 for further explanation and added explanatory slides for Recommendation 2.
