The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission (BPAC) was established in 2006 (Sec. 23-146) with the primary purpose of advising the City Council on how to make bicycling and walking viable modes of transportation in the City of Urbana.
BPAC duties include:
- Analyzing routing, operation, and safety of bicycles
- Reviewing and making recommendations regarding the City's Capital Improvement Plan, Bicycle Master Plan, and Pedestrian Master Plan
- Performing a regular evaluation and recommending an action plan for biking and walking facilities
- Coordinating with external agencies on maps and regional connections
- Developing education and public outreach opportunities on bicycle and pedestrian issues
- Assisting the City in the development of bicycle and pedestrian systems with the community
BPAC consists of 11 members appointed by the Mayor and approved by the Council from constituencies with an interest and expertise in bicycle and pedestrian issues such as bicycle commuting, bicycle clubs, running, transportation planning, recreation, child advocacy, senior advocacy, physical fitness, and business. Four members include one each from the Urbana School District, Urbana Park District, University of Illinois, and City of Urbana Public Works Department.
BPAC meets the third Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at 400 South Vine Street. Meetings are open to the public.
