Why This Vote Matters

The council unanimously directed staff to draft new rules for how people can safely share the San Francisco Bay Trail section that runs through Richmond. Currently, walkers, joggers, cyclists and other users all use the trail without specific guidelines about how to coexist safely. This request came from the city's Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, which identified the need for clearer rules. The council will review and vote on the actual ordinance once staff prepares it.
