Minutes of September 2019 minutes were approved. 2. Pedestrian Master Plan, Committee thanked Neil for presenting to City Council on October 1st, 2019. Impression was that City Council was in favor. Neil, in turn, thanked city staff for their due diligence to make it happen. Phil M. voiced concern about the Tim Eyman 976 and its affect of lost money for the Transportation Benefit District; Its pool of money goes to improving all means of transportation including and not limited to vehicles, i.e. bus, pedestrian, bicycle infrastructures within our transportation system. Phil M. suggested that perhaps that information could be shared with voters so they could make an informed decision. For reasons of budget concerns, committee askes staff to bring report on funding package availabilities, also if possible, to break down into two categories, that of non -motorized and transit connectivity money. This committee encourages shifting long established priorities that move cars to the priority of moving people bringing opportunities of multi -modal transportation, enhancing safety and budget concerns. 3. Title 12, Discussion continued regarding YMC 12.06.030 language change to limit discretionary alternatives to city standards. Bob D. suggests a work session to clarify verbiage and other corrections needed to update Title 12. The work session would include departments: Engineering, Streets, Traffic, Planning, and two members from the Bicycle Pedestrian Committee. Bob D. encourages this session to bring in all departments availing "turning the same page" sort to speak. Bob D. will set up this session before November 2019 BPC meeting. Neil M. voice concerns regarding sidewalk widths within street design as well as: figure 1 needs to match our requested stripping schematic, the verbiage in Title 12 needs to match the figure one schematic, currently it does not, we allow for 5 -foot sidewalks on some arterial. Also the 2 ft planting strip needs to be "stripped" from the Title 12 verbiage. And should we expand the Bicycle Pedestrian verbiage in section 12.06.040 to mention sharrows or is that best to be part of the bicycle master plan? The language in 12.06.030 should be changed to include some kind of simple review process not just the engineer's discretion. All referencing is in the Title 12 section found on the City website. The sidewalk/street stuff is 1/2 way down on page five of the Title 12 section. 4. ADA, The document is to be added to City Council as an agenda item. Bob D. will send to Joe R./Streets Dept., and Joseph C./Planning for review. Staff for November meeting will report on review and date for presenting to Council. 5. Determine Annual Committee Actions, The Committee discussed benefit of reviewing projects. All improvements would be tallied representing the year's progress. This report would culminate for the City Council, city staff, BPC, as well as the public we serve representing accomplishments that can sometimes be overlooked or undervalued, also giving the Bicycle Pedestrian Committee measurable performance feedback. 6. Cowiche Canyon Project, City's going to have a meeting in mid-December with Perteet. WOD and CCC are also engaged. Deliverables for November 13th 2019 Staff to bring funding packages re: Pedestrian Master Plan Staff to report of review and set date to present ADA before City Council Bob D. to report on work session on Title 12 Committee to discuss compilation of accomplished projects for yearly report to City Council Meeting was adjourned at 11:25 AM by Neil McClure, Chair R/W VARIES (45'-50') R/W VARIES (45-50') 7' (MIN) VARIES (33'-35.5) VARIES (33'-35.5') 7' (MIN) 12' (MIN) CBD S = 0.02 ft/ft S = 0.02 ft/ft 12' (MIN) CBD .. :5M. ..SW.-sastaisaosassommeamageffeSSaMiertgageNWMENEsoassmassonsigisismo ,/,`M R/W 0.17' CSTC -0.5 (MIN) 0.17' (COMPACTED DEPTH) 0.33' ATB 1.00' CSBC (COMPACTED PRINCIPAL ARTERIAL VARIES (30'-40') COMPACTED SUB GRADE 0.5 (MIN) HMA CL. 1/2" PG 64-28 (COMPACTED DEPTH) (COMPACTED DEPTH) DEPTH) 0.17' CSTC (COMPACTED SECTION VARIES (30'-40') DEPTH) R/W 5' (MIN)VARIES (20.0'-31.0') VARIES (20.0'-31.0') 5' (MIN) 12' (MIN) CBD - S=0.02ft/ft - S=0.02ft/ft 12' (MIN) CBD _...., ss .LINIff.. y z R/W 0.17' 0.5' (MIN) 0.17' CSTC (COMPACTED DEPTH) 0.33' ATB 1.00' CSBC (COMPACTED MINOR ARTERIAL VARIES (25-30') COMPACTED SUB GRADE 0.5 (MIN)y HMA CL. 1/2" PG 64-28 (COMPACTED DEPTH) (COMPACTED DEPTH) DEPTH) 0.17' CSTC (COMPACTED SECTION VARIES (25-30') DEPTH) R/W 5' (MIN) VARIES (14.5'-20.0')- VARIES (14.5'-20.0') 5' (MIN) 12' (MIN) CBD S = 0.02 ft/ft S = 0.02 ft/ft 12' (MIN) CBD _ ..y..

Deliverable(s): • Kick -Off Meeting • Revised Work Plan and Schedule • Ongoing Project Coordination • Monthly Project Update and Invoice Task 2: Review Existing Conditions; Establish Base Map, and Study Network Task 2 includes Consultant review of previous studies and existing policies that are pertinent to this project, and evaluation and summarization of existing bicycling conditions in Yakima. This task also includes Consultant working with the City's GIS staff to determine the extent and format of existing GIS inventories and develop the GIS framework for this Plan. Consultant will review available GIS data and develop the initial GIS base map for the project. Consultant will develop an initial Study Network which will be used to initiate discussion among stakeholders and guide field assessment efforts and network development. Using data from existing conditions and GIS inventories and a high level remote assessment of roads across the Yakima as well as the collective knowledge of desirable routes, existing facilities and significant barriers, the Study Network will be developed. Consultant will use the initial public engagement (see Task 3) to help define the Study Network. Consultant will only include streets in the Study Network where specific issues requiring further investigation have been identified by City staff, stakeholders or previous studies/plans. Assumptions: With the exception of existing bicycle facilities which will be verified when completing the field work, no additional data collection is anticipated by the City or the Consultant. Depending on availability, the City will provide the following data: • Roadway (including current street centerlines, functional class, posted speed, etc.) • Existing and planned bike lane and bike route locations • Elementary, middle and high schools • Higher education facilities • Parks, trails, and greenways • Significant tourism destinations • Employment data or significant employment destinations, and other points of interest • ADTs for arterial and collector roadways • Traffic signals • Bus routes and stops • Bicycle counts • Bicycle parking inventory • Location and severity of bike and pedestrian crashes • Block group level demographic data, • Topography/contours, Water bodies and other environmental features. Deliverable(s): • Memo Summarizing Existing Plans, Policies, and other Resources and their Relevance to Developing and Adopting the Yakima Bicycle Master Plan • GIS Base Map and Associated Database • Study Network Map which includes Existing Facilities Task 3: Public Engagement Task 3 includes community outreach to strengthen community involvement in the plan. Consultant will coordinate with City's Project Manager and the City of Yakima's Built Environment Committee to identify ways to further engage the broader public; draft initial project vision, goals, and objectives; identify key issues and opportunities for bicycling in Yakima; obtain guidance on study network for bicycle elements; review findings; and confirm plan recommendations. Consultant will create a user-friendly online interactive mapping tool where the public can provide detailed information about specific issues; and the Consultant will utilize an online survey. The on-line interactive mapping tool and survey will be completed early in the planning process, and will be used to inform the Study Network map. Consultant will conduct two public workshops to inform the community about the project, solicit feedback about non -motorized travel in the Yakima area, and further develop goals and objectives for the Plan. Consultant will conduct up to three (3) focus groups or individual interviews with key stakeholders or stakeholder groups. Consultant will attempt to schedule these interviews in coordination with field work and meetings. These interviews may be conducted remotely via telephone or video conference. Consultant will present the Plan to Yakima City Council to update these bodies on the Plan and its recommendations and to solicit feedback. Assumptions: • The City will secure space for the two public meetings and will cover any costs associated with the meetings such as rental of the space, chairs, tables, etc. • The Consultant will be responsible for developing promotional materials for the public meetings (e.g. press releases, announcements on websites, the City Facebook page and neighborhood list serves, and flyers). The City will be responsible for publicizing the two public meetings (i.e. delivering and sending out the promotional materials developed by the consultant). Deliverable(s): • Meet with the City of Yakima's Built Environment Committee up to four (4) Times (Up to three (3) in Person—Others Via Conference Call) • Develop and Manage Online Interactive Map and Brief Memo Summarizing Responses • Develop Online Survey and Brief Memo Summarizing Responses • Two Public Workshops • One Presentation to Yakima City Council Task 4: Develop Bicycle Master Plan Task 4 includes Field Assessment and Plan Development. The Consultant will evaluate and refine the Study Network based on field assessment segments within the Yakima street network that have high potential or demand, and input from technical staff and the Built Environment Committee and the public. The Plan will contain a feasible network of connected bicycle facilities that serve all parts of the Yakima and provide a high level of comfort and sense of safety, a specific design solution for each roadway segment in the network along with proposed roadway cross sections, a proposed method of accomplishing the recommended design treatment, and identification of spot locations where specific improvements are needed to address barriers to bicycle travel and create a connected system. Consultant will develop an implementation plan that will consist of prioritization of recommended improvements into immediate, short-term and long-term as well as planning -level cost estimates for immediate and short-term recommendations. The Consultant will compile a draft and final plan. Deliverable(s): • Draft and final Bicycle Network Map* and Database • Prioritized Project List with Planning Level Cost Estimates for immediate and short-term recommendations* • Implementation Strategy that Includes a Prioritized List of Improvements and Relative Costs * • Draft Plan in Print -Ready PDF Format and One Round of Revisions • Final Plan in Print -Ready PDF Format, One Copy in Print Format, and One Round of Final Revisions *These items will be integrated into the Draft and Final Plan document. Task 5: Facility Design and Maintenance Plan Task 5 includes developing a maintenance plan and compiling facility design guide concepts based on best practices and the latest national guidelines. This guidance will draw from and supplement guidance and standards that are found in the AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities, the NACTO Guide for Urban Bikeways, the MUTCD the Highway Capacity Manual, and WSDOT standard designs, where applicable. Design guidance will address signal detection and timing, lane widths, transitions between facility types, intersection and roadway crossing treatments, and up to three other topics as agreed upon (assumes graphic and narrative of up to two pages per topic area).
