I love Costa Mesa, own a home on the west side, and most days I cycle around town to commute and run errands instead of driving. I have a soon-to-be eight year old son who loves riding on my bike with me. I would love to see it become more efficient and even more important, safer, to get around town via bike.
I was a committee member from March 2018 through April 2022 and would love to continue to be a part of this committee to learn from the others who have been leading the way in making our city a better place, as well as bring my 20+ years of bicycling around Costa Mesa and bring fresh ideas to the table so future generations can enjoy the benefits of safely biking in their town.
Q4
As a Committee member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? - Filling in the gaps where safe and efficient bike routes do not currently exist. - Coming up with solutions to problem intersections so cars, cyclists, and pedestrians can safely coexist. - Getting creative with funding so we can complete more projects.

Housing and public service grants committee is my interest. With previous contracting experience I cam apply here I think the technical aspects are well served. I live in councilman Chavez's district. As one of few homeowners on my block, Weelo Drive, I can provide valuable feedback from other residents who are often ignored in simple things like permit parking which is only accessible to owners. As a bilingual resident, I find that my.neighbors are often ignored. Its.not fair and I can help.
Q4
As a Committee member, what ideas or projects are of interest to you? The bike lane, the master plan redevelopment of my district. Adjusting the city's master plan. Opening a street vendor location and offering case workers to navigate the permit.process with the county and to allocate funds for doing so. It shouldn't be the fairgrounds.
Fairview developmental is also interesting.

I am currently completing my first term on the Active Transportation Committee (ATC) and am applying for a second term to continue my efforts to promote the City Council's active transportation goals and objectives. The City of Costa Mesa's transition to a multi- modal transportation municipality will improve the quality of life for most Costa Mesans and enhance the social and economic well- being of our city.
During my first term on the ATC I brought ideas and energy to our proceedings, provided actionable input to City staff, and actively participated in community-based events that are consistent with the City Council's goals and objectives and compliment the progress made by our Public Works Department. I engaged with our residents and business community to better understand issues that need to be addressed as we make progress on our AT goals, including the need for e-bike education and enforcement. As a result, I was able to help develop and coordinate partnerships with non-profit groups, principally Walk 'n' Rollers, local e-bike businesses and volunteers to develop the first e-bike skills and safety training course in Orange County.
I would appreciate the Council's support for a second term on the ATC so that I can leverage my energies, experience and efforts promote City AT initiatives such as the bicycle and e-bike safety program that will be developed and rolled-out in 2024.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Andrew Barnes

I'm deeply passionate about urban planning and the transformative power of accessible, enjoyable pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicle infrastructure.
