Discussion
The Circulation Element of the City’s General Plan, Policy 4-9, requires that the City “Promote a
general decrease in reliance on private cars by accommodating and encouraging attractive
alternatives”. Implicit in this policy is that bike lanes or bike routes be provided where feasible.
Figure 4-C of the General Plan shows the locations of all existing and proposed bike lanes and bike
routes within the City.
Within the last several years, bike lanes and bike routes have been added in the field, as part of the
City’s policy to implement the proposed bike lanes and routes in Figure 4-C. Ordinance Nos. 10-
2063 and10-2064 bring the Cupertino Municipal Code up to date with these field changes. These
Ordinances also clarify existing information contained within Sections 11.08.250 and 11.08.260 of
the Municipal Code by eliminating redundancies currently existing within these sections.
Ordinance Nos. 10-2063 and 10-2064 were introduced at the City Council meeting of July 20, 2010.
Staff recommends that Council conduct the second reading and enact these two ordinances.
