Item VI 1 - City of Concord Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Safe Routes to Transit Plan –
City- initiated proposal to adopt
the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Safe Routes to Transit
Plan, which envisions Concord as
a community where bicycling, walking and transit can serve the transportation needs of all users.
The Plan outlines a strategy to develop a safer and more comfortable walking
and bicycling network, through
physical improvements and programs
designed to educate and encourage
safe use of the expanded
transportation network. The
Plan helps position the City
for future funding for bicycle, pedestrian and transit access improvements by identifying community
needs and addressing those needs with
$146 million of identified and prioritized capital improvement projects. The Plan also contains evaluation programs to encourage forward progress by documenting progress towards the Plan’s goals.
Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, as amended, the project
falls under Section 15262, “ (a) project involving only feasibility or planning studies for possible
future actions which the agency, board, or commission has not approved, adopted, or funded does not require the preparation of an EIR or negative declaration but does require consideration of environmental factors.
This section does not apply to the adoption of a plan that will have a legally binding effect on later activities.”
The City of Concord’s Bicycle, Pedestrian & Safe Routes to Transit Plan (Plan) meets these
criteria because the Plan is a planning study that would serve as the basis for future
updating of the Concord General Plan related to the education, encouragement, enforcement, and evaluation of future walking and bicycling network improvements
and has no legally binding effect on current activities (e.g. development project
application review) or later activities (i.e., the General Plan Update).
