  • Staff Report #18-225-CC
    AGENDA ITEM I-4 Public Works STAFF REPORT City Council Meeting Date: 12/4/2018 Staff Report Number: 18-225-CC Informational Item: Update on the citywide Safe Routes to School program Recommendation This is an informational item and does not require City Council action. Policy Issues The development of a Citywide Safe Routes to School program (Program) is included as one of the top-six priority projects in the City Council’s adopted 2018 work plan. The program is also an implementation program included in the 2016 general plan circulation element. Background On February 6, 2018, the City Council adopted its 2018 work plan, including the Citywide Safe Routes to school program and further prioritized it as one of the city’s top-six priority projects. Accordingly, staff reprioritized work efforts and prepared a draft request for proposals for the program. The Safe Routes to School subcommittee of the Complete Streets Commission and advocates from Parents for Safe Routes reviewed the draft request for proposals. Staff incorporated this feedback and released the request for proposals May 2, 2018. Six proposals were received by the May 23, 2018, due date. A team of seven people comprised of City staff and Complete Streets Commission subcommittee members reviewed proposals and recommended Alta Planning + Design to initiate the program. Authorization for entering into an agreement with Alta Planning + Design was approved at the City Council meeting June 19, 2018. A notice to proceed was given in July 2018, and this report serves as an update to the work that has been performed over the last five months.
