Legislative Meetings
There are several legislative steps for bicycle facility implementation. A generalized series of meetings follows this approximate order: DPT Public Hearing, followed by the Bicycle Advisory Committee Meeting; the Municipal Transportation Agency Board Meeting, City Operations and Neighborhood Services Committee Meeting, and the Full Board of Supervisors.
The Bicycle Program has drafted a more detailed explanation of how a bicycle project works its way through the legislative process. If you would like to know more, please view our handy PDF, Steps to Bicycle Implementation.
A description and links to public meetings are below:
