2022 Bike Map Update

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

2022 Bike Map Update:

  1. RECEIVE presentation on the 2022 Bike Map Update project; and
  2. PROVIDE input on the project's primary goals and map usability.
SUMMARY:
The Monterey County Bike Map was last updated in 2016 as part of the Regional Pedestrian and Bicyclist Wayfinding Program for Monterey County. The primary goals of the 2022 Bike Map Update are to add projects completed since 2016, identify preferred routes, and improve the map's usability.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for the 2022 Bike Map Update includes $16,000 of local funds in the approved Transportation Agency budget.
DISCUSSION:

The Monterey County Bike Map serves a wide range of bicyclists including those that commute by bike or ride for recreation. Bicyclists who use the map also range in skill level from those that are highly confident to those just beginning. Both locals and visitors use the Bike Map.

 

The Monterey County Bike Map is intended to help bicyclists get from A to B safely and efficiently and encourage bicycling by making a network of easy and comfortable bike routes accessible.

 

Staff is requesting input on ways to improve the bike map in general, as well as what amenities could be added to make the map more helpful. Input is requested for the following questions:

 

  • Where should these maps be distributed?
  • Who are the maps users?
  • What amenities would be helpful to add?
  • What is important to you when using the map?
