STRATEGIC INITIATIVE Transportation BACKGROUND Complete Streets are roadways designed and operated to enable safe, attractive, sustainable, comfortable, and independent access and travel options for roadway users of all ages and abilities including people who walk, ride bicycles, drive, and use transit. The California Complete Streets Act of 2008 required that California cities include complete streets policies in their General Plan circulation elements as of January 1, 2011. Eligibility for some regional funding programs such as One Bay Area Grant (OBAG) requires compliance with the Complete Streets Act. Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) Resolution 4108 requires cities to have a Bicycle Advisory Committee in order to be eligible for Transportation Development Act Article 3 grant funds. On January 26, 2015, the City Council adopted a resolution approving the formation of a two-year pilot Complete Streets Advisory Committee (Committee). The resolution included the pilot mission, duties, structure, and membership of the new Committee. Council also directed staff to begin the member recruitment process for the pilot Committee. The inaugural Committee meeting was held on December 15, 2015. Initial member terms were scheduled to end on May 31, 2017, at the end of the Committee pilot period. On February 27, 2017, the City Council adopted a resolution to extend the pilot committee to May 31, 2019, and to increase the committee membership from five to seven members. Since its formation, the pilot Committee provided a venue for additional community input and discussion, served as a conduit between the community and staff on transportation topics and provided staff with City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.ore 90
