The meeting initiated with committee elections for Chair and Vice Chair for the 2026 calendar year. Key discussion centered on the Safe Streets for All planning effort, specifically reviewing draft chapters for the action plan, which aims to prevent traffic fatalities and serious injuries. Topics included leadership commitment, goal setting, public commitment (requiring council adoption via resolution), and setting a target year of 2030 for achieving zero roadway fatalities and serious injuries. Committee members provided detailed feedback regarding the inclusion and definition of "complete streets" principles in the resolution language, the process for receiving annual safety reports from staff, and the ambitious nature of the 2030 goal without a specific percentage decrease target. Discussions also touched upon directing staff to explore local city funding opportunities, such as within Measure C, for these safety projects.
