Barry Bergman, consultant, gave a presentation on the changes to the Draft Bicycle Design Standards. He thanked all of the different groups that provided input to staff on how the standards should be written. President Zuppan asked if the standards are applied to new development or repaving projects. She stated her concern that widening existing bike lanes would entail removing street trees or parking strip landscaping. Mr. Bergman stated that they mostly apply to new development. President Zuppan opened the public comment period. Jon Spangler, resident, stated that it is a good set of design standards, much better than the original plan. He mentioned that on Appendix B it states the bike parking for Park & recreation sites is to be determined based on staff analysis and he believes the ratio should be 1-5 including on street parking. He would also like to see in Appendix C, the showers and lockers guidelines, start at 5,000 square feet instead of 10,000 square feet to include more businesses. He would also like to see signage cautioning bikers that inexpensive bike locks do no deter theft. President Zuppan closed the public comment period. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft asked what the "T" represents in the bike lane. Mr. Bergman stated that the "T" shows the cyclist how far the parked car door will extend into the bike lane. Board member Knox White suggested that the language on page 2 which stated that such a change would trigger and environmental review because the California Environmental Quality Act just change to exempt bike projects.
