City Manager Update
By Christopher Trela | NB Indy
At the Newport Beach City Council study session prior to the City Council meeting on July 23 , city staff presented a status update on the City ’ s 2014 Bicycle Master Plan .
Deputy Public Works Director Jim Houlihan introduced Transportation Manager and City Traffic Engineer Brad Sommers , who provided an overview of the bicycle plan and where the city is with the plan nearly ten years later .
As stated in the 224-page Bicycle Master Plan , the Master Plan “ provides a broad vision , as well as strategies and actions , to improve conditions for bicycling throughout the City . As a means of bettering the bicycling environment , this Plan provides direction for expanding the existing bikeway network , connecting gaps within the City , and connecting to adjacent cities . In addition to providing recommendations for bikeways and support facilities , the Plan offers recommendations for education , encouragement , enforcement , and evaluation programs .”
“ The plan was adopted in October of 2014 , and was conceived as a comprehensive long-range plan to provide vision for cycling improvements in the future of our city ,” Sommers told the City Council . “ The goal was to promote bicycle safety and responsible cycling . We developed the plan

over a 17-month process that was overseen by an oversite committee , chaired by Tony Petros .”
According to Sommers , the Master Plan identified existing conditions , identified 170 facilities improvements , bike lanes , bike routes , and 30 bicycle related programs , including education , enforcement , and progressive designs , which at that time were very progressive , he noted .
“ Looking at the programs , the city ’ s emphasis has been on education — the police department generally leads this , they have always done a tremendous job reaching out to the elementary schools , and more recently that has progressed to intermediate as well as high schools ,” said Sommers . “ We focus on the areas around schools , which is where the highest concentration of cycling is .”
Sommers said they are continuously reviewing policies , especially with electric bicycles .
“ We most recently updated oceanfront safety municipal code sections to reflect new technology ,” said Sommers . “ We are continuously working to educate ourselves as staff so we can stay up on the latest trends , designs , and programs , and then bring that back to the city to see what may work best here . We are actively involved at the national , regional and local levels .”
