Bicycle And Pedestrian Advisory Committee Meeting

The City of Santa Fe Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee met on November 12, 2026. The committee heard that 30 custom bicycle racks had been obtained using tourism funding and that nine had been installed. Installation at additional planned locations—particularly on brick surfaces—will cost more because the bricks must be removed and concrete footings added. Staff is considering alternate locations and seeking additional funding to retain bike parking on the Plaza. A previously designed second phase of bicycle wayfinding signage remains unimplemented, reportedly due to lack of funding; members asked for the design and a funding update at a future meeting and discussed whether Complete Streets funds could support it. No contract award or new spending approval was made.

The committee voted to recommend amendments to its establishing resolution, including term limits, to the governing body, and approved a trail courtesy-sign concept for referral to the communications team, with the final design to return for committee approval. Members also approved the 2027 meeting calendar with a proposed change to the November meeting date. Other discussions included unauthorized motorized vehicles on trails, an update on public works staffing, and a possible ADA-focused role in technical reviews.
