PROPOSED BICYCLE LANES
City Attorney reported the matter of the proposal for bicycle lanes in the area
of Pomolita School on Gobbi and Dora Streets was considered at the regular
meeting of the Traffic Committee. Since it is required that bicycles abide by
- - the same laws as other vehicles on the streets, problems develop in establishing
the required 4' bicycle lanes on both sides of the street. Such a proposal would
not be practical in this area and would create more hazards than exist at the
present time. City Attorney stressed the importance of a bicycle safety program
to work through the schools to provide orderly removal of bicycles from schools.
Councilman Simpson suggested the proposed program be channeled through the
Police Department to the schools.

PROPOSED NORTH COAST PLANNING
& DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
City Manager reported concerning the proposed joint powers agreement to create
a planning agency for four or five counties in the northern California area.
The Mayor of Petaluma has proposed an alternate tosaid joint powers agreement
which includes includes nine counties instead of the 4 or 5 originally proposed.
City Manager reviewed powers set up for said commission and the questions for
Council to consider prior to any action. Councilman Simpson had attended a
meeting to discuss the feasibility of being a part of subject commission. It
was determined that each county take the matter under submission and decide
whether or not to become a part of the commission and to get some committment
from the various cities in the county.
The makeup of the proposed commission is a controversial subject throughout
the area and its formation will apparently create an autonomous commission
and further loss of local option. It appears to relate more to the metropolitan
areas and not to the isolated area and may lack an equal distribution of cost
for participating members.
Council was not in agreement with the proposed joint powers agreement, determined
there is need for more study, and authorized the City Manager to notify the
Board of Supervisors of said determination.
