BPAC duties include: analyze routing, operation and safety of bicycles; review and make recommendations regarding the City's Capital Improvement Plan and Bicycle Master Plan; perform a regular evaluation and recommend an action plan for biking and walking facilities; coordinate with external agencies on maps and regional connections; develop education and public outreach opportunities on bicycle and pedestrian issues; and assist the City in the development of bicycle and pedestrian systems with the community."
