2 Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Committee Minutes December 11, P.M. Village Hall 3930 N. Murray Avenue, Shorewood, WI Call to order. The meeting was called to order at 7:05 p.m. Members present: Chair Rachel Ellerman, Jerry Lynn, Sydney Shimko, Matt Peaslee, Diane Jakubowski and Dzidra Benish Others present: Trustee Michael Maher Members absent: Jerry Lynn 2. Consider Approval of October 9, 2018 Minutes Ms. Benish moved, seconded by Ms. Shimko to approve the October 9, 2018 minutes. Motion approved by 6-0 vote. 3. Public Comments The Committee heard about a pedestrian being hit on Capitol and was curious about the details. Lt. Liebenthal will be in attendance in January and will probably be able to share the details. It was also reported of a bicyclists riding on the sidewalk with a dog not on a leash. The bicyclist was pulled over by a Police officer. 4. Staff Updates Mr. Burkart was absent but provided the Committee a memo. The memo asked Committee members to identify potential community survey questions related to bicycling and pedestrian safety in Shorewood. Tr. Maher also provided the Committee an update on the traffic study plans. 5. Summary of Bicycle Unit at Shorewood Intermediate School The Committee attended the lessons and escorted. There were some concerns and ideas about the preparation and eecution of the event. The bicycles were not prepared in advance and required volunteers to put in a lot of time at the last minute. There was a benefit to encourage bike use for the event. The first day there was education and the Police attended both days. The Committee asked Mr. Burkart to reach out to Ms. Zehren to receive her feedback and thoughts. The last two days were cancelled due to lack of volunteers. They will do it again in the spring, which will allow additional preparation time for success. Feedback from one rider was it was too slow for eperienced riders and not everyone has a helmet if they don t have a bicycle. 6. Discuss 2019 Committee Initiatives The Committee believes the Shorewood Chill event is likely not a huge value for them to attend this year. Last year the timing of the bublr rollout gave them a unique reason for being there. The Committee gave themselves the task of bringing 1-2 events they d like to most see done in May s Ped/ Safety Month. This should be a January agenda

3 Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Committee December 11, 2018 Minutes item. Ms. Benish requests for an enforcement day to occur during the month. Articles in the Manager s memo for bikes on the walk also came up during the discussion. 7. Adjournment. Ms. Shimko moved to adjourn the meeting. Motion seconded by Ms. Jakubowski. Motion approved by 6-0 vote. Meeting adjourned at 7:56 p.m. Respectfully submitted by, Tyler Burkart Assistant Village Manager

The Village staff and members of the PBSC epress the perspective from residents how vehicles continue to drive at higher than comfortable speeds and either roll through or miss stops at controlled intersections. The PBSC recommends working with the Village Planner and an outside consultant to conduct a traffic study for the entire Village and identify ways the Village can install infrastructure (i.e. speed bumps, roundabouts, bumpouts, etc.) that will encourage slower speeds and stops. Recommendations in the study will outline strategies for the Village Board and staff to consider eecuting starting in the 2020 budget. Time Sensitivity: Identify any time constraints or deadlines associated with the initiative. There is no time sensitivity with this initiative. Estimated Staff Time Needed to Eecute: Include estimated hours and staff/persons involved.

19 Estimated Costs: Materials, contractual services, equipment, etc. Indicate annual vs. one-time.

The goal of this form is to help staff, residents and officials identify the resources, steps and time involved in eecuting an initiative. It allows a formalized process for the Village to recognize proposed initiatives and request the Village Board to consider an initiative before investing more resources. Complete the following information and hand in to the Village Manager for the request to be considered. Name: Tyler Burkart, Assistant Village Manager Date: May 8, 2018 Department / Committee: Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Committee (PBSC) Initiative: Eplore concept of quiet streets and bike boulevards Description and Goal: Include a short summary of the initiative and the goal/desired outcome. The PBSC wants to eplore the concept of quiet streets (no vehicles allowed and only bicycles and pedestrians) and bike boulevards (low-speed streets optimized for bicycles). The Committee wants to identify some locations in the Village where these concepts could be tested as trial periods to determine if it would be successful in other areas of the Village. These concepts help to further encourage bicycling instead of taking a vehicle for transportation. Time Sensitivity: Identify any time constraints or deadlines associated with the initiative. There is no time sensitivity with this initiative. Estimated Staff Time Needed to Eecute: Include estimated hours and staff/persons involved. The staff liaison of the PBSC and the Village Planner will be involved in these discussions. In addition, DPW and Police will need to be consulted on a few logistical items. Since this is a very new concept and never tested in Shorewood, it is hard to estimate the number of hours involved to research and learn how to implement. Best estimates range from collective hours.

21 Estimated Costs: Materials, contractual services, equipment, etc. Indicate annual vs. one-time. There would be no initial costs to complete the eploration phase. If the PBSC and Village Board approve a plan to implement bike boulevards and/or quiet streets, there would need to be capital costs in the future budgets for striping and other street enhancements. Implementation Steps for Eecution: Include approvals, collaboration with other groups, etc. 1. Village staff completes research to learn more about concepts and brainstorm ways it could be integrated in Shorewood. Planner and staff liaison meet with DPW, Police, and Village Engineer to discuss impacts of initiatives. 2. Village Planner and PBSC staff liaison meet with PBSC to learn their vision and collectively brainstorm ideas to incorporate in Shorewood. 3. Village Planner and/or staff liaison puts together a plan that prioritizes areas for potential implementation of bike boulevards and/or quiet streets. 4. PBSC makes recommendation on plan for Village Board consideration. Staff will eplore potentially engaging the Plan Commission. 5. Village staff and PBSC present to the Village Board for consideration. 6. If approved, staff works collaboratively to integrate in future budgets. 7. If budget is approved, DPW will work contracted engineer on design and reach out to receive bids on additional work (striping) to implement. 8. PBSC and staff continue to evaluate implementation and usage of bike boulevards and/or quiet streets.
