At the November, 2014 City Council meeting, Council confirmed priorities and accepted the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. The City Council budgeted $500,000 for FY 2014-15, and $530,000 over the following four years to implement projects in the Master Plan. The Town has also applied for Transportation Development Act (TDA) grants to fund design and construction of the Class III bike paths and improvements identified in the Master Plan at the Middlefield Road and Oak Grove Avenue intersection.

To continue to be eligible to apply for TDA Article 3 funds, the Town has to comply with Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) Resolution #4108. The Resolution requires that the Town have a Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) to review TDA projects to participate in the development and review of a comprehensive bike plan. The BPAC should be comprised of bicyclers and pedestrian groups and bicycle and pedestrian facility projects may be reviewed by the BPAC. The MTC Resolution requires at least 3 members who live or work in the Town and for those members to be appointed by the City Council.
