DRAFT PLAN AIMS TO INCREASE BICYCLING IN PASADENA

With an eye towards increasing bicycling as a transportation mode for
commuting, shopping and recreation, the city of Pasadena has drafted a new
bicycle master plan, available now on the city’s website for public review.

The city’s Transportation Department and ad hoc Bicycle Master Plan Advisory
Committee spent 2009 assessing the community’s priorities and creating a
comprehensive plan to reflect the needs of local cyclists.

The new plan builds on the road and safety improvements implemented since
the 2000 Century of Bikes Plan was adopted.

Three public meetings were held last year, with the initial meeting broadcast on
KPAS TV throughout the year. A survey questionnaire was also circulated
through bicycle shops, community events, individuals and on the city’s website.

In essence, the draft plan aims to increase the proportion of people using bikes,
decrease the number of bicycle-involved crashes, make parking more secure
and convenient, and create a network of bikeways so that every neighborhood
is close to an effective route in the north-south and east-west directions.

A fourth workshop on Tuesday, Feb. 23, at 6:30 p.m. in Council Chambers will
help solicit public comments on the draft plan, which will be included in outreach
for the update of the General Plan’s Mobility Element.

Copies of the plan are also available at Pasadena Central Library and branch
libraries. For more information go to www.cityofpasadena.net/bikeplan
