Director Mora informed the Board that bike signs and symbols are not mandatory on County and State roads, and the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) designates the placement of bike symbols. He explained that a 40-inch wide bike symbol would not fit into 40 inches of pavement space, due to the MUTCD requirement of discernable space between the line and the symbol. Administrator Baird suggested adding bike lane symbols where they will fit. Director Mora stated that some of the paved shoulders on 66th Avenue are too narrow to add the symbol, but he would have staff apply them where they can. He also said that bike lane signs would be installed where appropriate. Attorney Reingold clarified the components of the motion: (1) Director Mora was directed to do whatever can be reasonably done on 66th Avenue; (2) Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Director Phil Matson was directed to obtain better design criteria or alter the criteria for less hurdles in the future; and (3) the County will incorporate these improvements onto our roads in the future. The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the Motion carried unanimously. C. Commissioner Joseph E. Flescher None D. Commissioner Peter D. O'Bryan None E. Commissioner Tim Zorc 5:42 1.
