During announcements at the May 5th, 2021 Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Advisory Committee meeting, Committee member Eric Peterson requested staff agendize a discussion about supporting the North Fremont Improvement Project, following the Civil Grant Jury report that criticized the project. Staff agendized the item for discussion at the June 2, 2021 meeting. 

During the June 2, 2021 Committee meeting, the Committee provided direction to staff and selected four Committee members to prepare and submit a letter of support to the City of Monterey for the project. The selected Committee members worked with staff to prepare the letter of support and the resulting correspondence is included as an attachment to this item. 

In the Committee's role as an advisory body, the bylaws indicate the Committee operates as a forum for communication between public and private agencies, users, and providers. The bylaws further indicate that the Committee may communicate freely with elected or appointed bodies, public or private agencies or individuals to obtain input or opinions regarding bicycle and pedestrian planning proposals. Copies of all correspondence originating with the Committee must be included in the TAMC and Technical Advisory Committee agenda packets.
