A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF TIBURON
ADOPTING AN UPDATED TIBURON BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN
AND ADOPTING A NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR THE PROJECT
WHEREAS, the Town Council of the Town of Tiburon does resolve as follows:
Section 1. Findings.
A. The Town of Tiburon is proposing to adopt a comprehensively updated Bicycle and
Pedestrian Master Plan (BPMP), superseding the Plan adopted in 2008. The BPMP
addresses a variety of issues related to bicycle and pedestrian transportation in Tiburon
while meeting the California Bicycle -Transportation Act requirements for such Plans.
The project is Town file S2016-03.
B. The Town prepared an Initial Study for this project and determined that a Negative
Declaration was appropriate for the project pursuant to the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
C. The Parks Open Space and Trails Commission (POST), acting in its capacity as the
Town's Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, held two public workshops and a
public meeting to take input from the public on the Plan update, and following its public
meeting recommended adoption of the Plan to the Town Council.
D. On May 11, 2016, a Draft Negative Declaration was completed and notices of its
availability were publicly posted and advertised in the Ark newspaper to announce a 21 -
day public review and comment period from May 16, 2016 to June 6, 2016 on the Initial
Study/Draft Negative Declaration, in conformance with CEQA requirements. A notice of
public meeting on the Draft Negative Declaration and the project was also publicly
posted, published in the Ark newspaper, and mailed notice was also provided.
E. The Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on May 25, 2016 and heard
and considered testimony from interested persons. The Planning Commission found that
no substantial evidence in support of a fair argument that the project would result in an
adverse impact on the environment had been received, and that adoption of the Negative
Declaration was in order. The Planning Commission further found that the Tiburon
Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update would be consistent with polices within the
Tiburon General Plan and recommended adoption of the updated Plan to the Town
Council.
F. The Town Council held a duly noticed public hearing on July 20, 2016 and heard and
considered testimony from interested persons. The Town Council found that no

substantial evidence in support of a fair argument that the project would result in an
adverse impact on the environment had been received, and that adoption of the Negative
Declaration was in order. The Town Council further found that the updated Tiburon
Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update would be consistent with polices within the
Tiburon General Plan.
Section 2. Adoption of Negative Declaration.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Town Council of the Town of Tiburon
does hereby adopt the Negative Declaration for the project and directs that a Notice of
Determination be filed with the Marin County Clerk.
Section 3. Adoption of Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan Update With Revisions.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Town Council of the Town of Tiburon does
hereby adopt the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update, with the final adopted version to be
dated July 20, 2016 and to incorporate the revisions to the March 17, 2016 draft document as
follows:
1. Revise and incorporate Table 4-1 as set forth in attached Exhibit "A".
[Note: This revised table would incorporate Planning Commission
recommendations to add Safe Routes to School signage and pavement markings
on Greenwood Beach Road; closely monitor Project No. 2 (Blackfield Drive
bicycle and pedestrian improvements) after installation for its safety and
effectiveness; add a new project (Project 7A) designating the area along Tiburon
Boulevard from U. S. Highway 101 to Trestle Glen Boulevard as a "special study
zone" for the purposes of studying the feasibility of Class IV bike lanes along both
sides of Tiburon Boulevard and the feasibility of relocation of the San Francisco
Bay Trail from Greenwood Beach Road to Tiburon Boulevard]
2. Add Project 7A to Figure 4.1 (graphic showing general project locations).
3. Add Section 4.1.4 to read as follows:
4.1.4 Proposed Class IV Study — Separated Bicycle Routes
The Town of Tiburon recognizes that Tiburon Boulevard from U. S. Highway 101
to Trestle Glen Boulevard is a primary route and potentially a better future route
for cyclists if it were improved. The Town recognizes that only a minor portion of
Tiburon Boulevard in this segment is located within the Town's corporate limits;
however, Tiburon supports working with the County of Marin, Caltrans and other
agencies to study the feasibility of building a Class IV bike system on both sides
of Tiburon Boulevard from U. S. Highway 101 to Trestle Glen Boulevard. This
TIBURON TOWN COUNCIL RESOLUTION No. 22-2016 07120/2016 2
study could also evaluate a Class I bikeway on one side of Tiburon Boulevard and
a Class IV on the other side in those segments where such an approach would be
more practical. The study could also evaluate the feasibility of relocating the San
Francisco Bay Trail alignment to Tiburon Boulevard from Greenwood Cove
Drive/Greenwood Beach Road in this segment, without excluding the Richardson
Bay Audubon Society from the San Francisco Bay Trail.
4. Add Section 5.9.8 to Appendix A of the Plan to read as follows:
5.9.8 Bay Trail Project Grants
The Bay Trail Project has been the source of funds on three separate occasions for
bicycle and pedestrian -related projects in Tiburon. In 2003 the Bay Trail Project
funded a feasibility study for Class II bike lanes on Trestle Glen Boulevard. In
2005, it funded construction of bicycle and pedestrian improvements along Trestle
Glen Boulevard. In 2011, the Bay Trail project funded the Bay Trail Gap Closure
Feasibility Study.

5. Section 4.3.5 [Education and Enforcement Programs] shall be augmented to add
text calling for the development of "sustainable bicycle and pedestrian safety and
education programs" and providing examples of such programs, with final
wording to be determined and inserted into the Plan by Town staff.
6. Make incidental revisions as necessary to achieve consistency with the above-
described revisions.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting of the Town Council of the Town of
Tiburon on July 20, 2016, by the following vote:
