COMMISSION MEMORANDUM

TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission 
FROM:Commissioner Ricky Arriola 
DATE:January  13, 2021
 



SUBJECT:REFERRAL TO THE FINANCE AND ECONOMIC RESILIENCY COMMITTEE TO DISCUSS ADOPTING A BIKE SAFETY ORDINANCE. 

ANALYSIS

In 2019, the City of Cambridge made it a requirement to build protected bike lanes on the Cambridge Bicycle Plan streets when they are being reconstructed according to their Five Year Sidewalk and Street maintenance plan. I have asked our Transportation Department to enact a similar ordinance to ensure that when we build bike lanes, they are protected for our riders and that we set a mandatory timeline for completion of our Bike Master Plan. Attached is the sample ordinance.
