TO: Bicycle Advisory Commission September 26, 2022
SUBJECT: Adopt Resolution 01-2022, approving the annual meeting schedule for the
Bicycle Advisory Commission
BACKGROUND
At its July 6, 2021, regular meeting, the Town Council adopted the Townwide Bicycle
Master Plan (“BMP”). 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. In the interim, and until further action set forth by the Danville Town Council,
meetings will be held via teleconference per State of California Assembly Bill 361,

emergency by the Governor as a precaution to protect the health and safety of staff,
officials, and the general public.
