a. approved by consensus a resolution calling for increased funding so that the DA’s office might better manage cases involving bicyclists and pedestrians

b. unanimously decided to cooperate through regular meetings with the consultants hired by the Transportation Authority to complete its MultiModal Performance Studies and eventual development of performance standards AND unanimously decided to adopt a resolution stating that "The BAC supports the release of the draft RFP for the Bike Plan Update as a final RFP. The BAC urges the DPT to use this RFP to require the development as soon as possible of a Bicycle Service Standard suitable for use in balancing against the Motor Vehicle LOS in CEQA considerations. It is BAC policy that such a BSS is a high priority and the BAC will seek further funding for such work. The BAC also urges the DPT, BOS, and the TA to seek further funding for such a service standard." [this resolution subsequently modified at the 3/8/01 BAC Working Com’t. meeting] AND resolved that the focus committee with which the Bike Plan Update consultants must regularly confer should be a subcommittee of the BAC, but with a hybrid membership including representatives of the SFBC and other stakeholders.
