Recognizing the importance of <br />promoting bicycling as a viable means of transportation, the City implemented a series of policies and <br />initiatives including adding bicycle parking requirements in the Zoning Code and adopting a Citywide <br />Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan and codifying it in Municipal Code Chapter 48 to <br />enhance bicycle amenities and encourage bicycle use for daily commuting. Despite these efforts, bicycle <br />theft is a serious and ongoing problem, and secure bicycle parking is a necessary preventive measure. <br />In 2022, the City received a Measure A/W grant through the San Mateo Couty Transportation Authority. <br />The purpose of this grant was to develop a Bicycle Parking Guideline that implements these policies and <br />serves as a reference and guide for bicycle facility planning and design. This resource will guide future <br />development projects and public facilities. Various City departments reviewed the Guideline including <br />Engineering and Transportation; Parks, Recreation, and Community Services; and Community <br />Development to ensure design elements and bike parking quantity is consistent with the City’s overall <br />mobility goals. <br />As the City continues to grow and evolve, embracing sustainable and active modes of transportation, <br />these guidelines will provide a comprehensive reference point for stakeholders and urban planners, <br />setting the stage for a more bicycle-friendly and sustainable future. <br />EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT <br />Equity and/or inclusion was considered in development or implementation of item through the <br />following: <br />Reviewed from similar or relevant past program or policy in Redwood City <br />Reviewed data from a similar program or policy in another jurisdiction <br />Reviewed data related to a standard or emerging best practice <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no fiscal impact to the City as a result of this action. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br />This activity is not a project under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as defined in CEQA <br />Guidelines, section 15378, because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or reasonably <br />foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. <br />7.A. - Page 3 of 121 <br />9
