The Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) is in the process of updating the Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plans. The goal of these updates is to reflect current bicycling and walking conditions, needs and priorities in Alameda County. The plans, which build upon local bicycle and pedestrian plans, will be used to identify countywide capital project and program priorities, and will guide the allocation of countywide funds. A complete final draft plan will be available for public review in Fall 2011.
The Alameda CTC would like your input during this update process! They have created a web page with current information about the plan updates: www.actia2022.com/app_pages/view/1644. They will post the most current draft chapters and upcoming meetings on this page. Please visit the website to stay informed about the update process.
Outreach approach includes presenting and soliciting input on the draft Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plans at local BPAC meetings. The Alameda CTC plans to bring the Draft Priority Projects and Programs Chapters to local BPACs in Spring 2011, and will post these meetings on ACTC’s website.
Where are we in the updates process right now?
The individual chapters for the Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan updates are being drafted and reviewed. Your comments on these draft chapters are welcome. The Draft Existing Conditions Chapters were already released and reviewed, and are being revised now. Currently, you can participate by providing feedback on the Draft Vision, Goals & Objectives Chapters and the Evaluation of Current Practices Chapter by attending the Countywide BPAC meeting or via written comments:
