Resolution Of The City Council Of The City Of Emeryville Approving A Citywide Pedestrian And Bicycle Wayfinding Program (CEQA Determination: Exempt Pursuant To CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301(c) And 15061(b)(3)) WHEREAS, the need for improved wayfinding for pedestrians and bicyclists has been repeatedly discussed at the Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) for years, and a pedestrian-bicycle wayfinding program is included in the Active Transportation Plan (ATP) that is tentatively scheduled to be considered for adoption by the City Council in September 2023; and
WHEREAS, on November 15, 2022, the City Council approved an amendment to the contract with Alta Planning + Design, Inc. (Alta) for the ATP, originally authorized on November 17, 2020, to include the development of a pedestrian and bicycle wayfinding program; and
WHEREAS, the BPAC discussed, reviewed proposals, and developed the proposed Citywide Pedestrian and Bicycle Wayfinding Program over four meetings from February 2023 to June 2023; and
WHEREAS, on June 5, 2023, the BPAC recommended approval of the proposed Citywide Pedestrian and Bicycle Wayfinding Program; and WHEREAS, on June 20, 2023, the Transportation Committee reviewed and recommended approval of the proposed Citywide Pedestrian and Bicycle Wayfinding Program; and
