Title
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE MASTER PLAN OF BIKEWAYS (CITY COUNCIL)
Body
I. SUMMARY
The City of Carson Master Plan of Bikeways was adopted in August 2013 as a strategic vision for improved bicycle transportation in the city, guiding bike infrastructure, policy, and programs. It has been the adopted master plan for the City since then. In 2021, staff undertook a review of the master plan based on updated traffic safety data, and for safety reasons, considered the revision of the existing Master Plan of Bikeways focusing on evaluating improvements to the corridors marked as bike routes or Type B "sharrows" in the original plan and reducing the number of sharrow bike lanes at a citywide level. The City retained the services of KOA to complete the evaluation and provide recommendations to revise the master plan.
