The BMP identified the need for a Town Bicycle Advisory Committee to advise on the development of project and programmatic recommendations contained in the BMP. The Bicycle Advisory Committee would also represent the interests of the community on issues and initiatives related to bicycling and other users of non-motorized forms of transportation and would serve as an information source regarding these topics to the Town Council and Town staff. At its February 8, 2022, study session, the Town Council reviewed options for creating either an ad hoc committee or commission that would best meet the needs of the community. Ultimately, the Town Council directed staff to draft an ordinance that would create a Bicycle Advisory Commission consisting of a total of six (6) regular members with one (1) member of whom would represent the youth community. Subsequently, at its regular meeting of March 1, 2022, the Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 2022-22, establishing a Bicycle Advisory Commission. DISCUSSION The Bicycle Advisory Commission (“BAC”) will be responsible for advising the Town Council on how the Town can better support bicyclists and users of non-motorized transportation modes and would define clear goals and objectives through development of an annual work plan. Goals, objectives, and duties would include advising on prioritization and implementation of projects and programs contained in the BMP; providing input on conditions, operations and safety of existing bicycle infrastructure; review and input on proposed bicycle-related policies, funding applications, and legislation; coordination with the public to promote cycling programs and projects; and development and dissemination of bicycle awareness and education materials to the community. It is recommended that the Commission establish its regular public meetings to be held bi-monthly on the fourth Monday of each month in January, March, May, July, September and November at 5:00 p.m. at the Town Meeting Hall, located at 201 Front Street, Bicycle Advisory Commission Meeting Schedule 2 September 26, 2022 Danville.
