A key element of this plan was to develop bicycle safety education components and possible outreach elements to the community. Funding has also been included in the City’s operating budget towards this effort using monies that must be used for transportation, bicycle and pedestrian improvements. Commission input is requested on possible outreach efforts, events, and promotional items to pursue. Staff Recommendation It is recommended that the Traffic Commission provide input on bicycle educational and outreach efforts, as identified in the City’s Bicycle Transportation Plan. B. REVIEW OF ANNUAL GOALS AND OBJECTIVES Summary The City uses a strategic planning process to help develop a long-term vision, key organizational goals, strategies and action plan to pursue. This process is a coordinated effort with input from the public, City commissions, committees and operating departments. In conjunction with this plan, the Traffic Commission develops a list of traffic and safety-related priorities that tie in with the Citywide Strategic Plan. Each year, the Commission reviews and updates this list to review progress and identify new priorities that have been identified.
