To advise the City of Mequon Common Council and the Village of Thiensville Village Board regarding the creation of, revisions to and implementation of a city and/or village-wide master plan for bike and pedestrian ways and trails accessible to bicyclists, pedestrians and participants in other silent sports. Efforts to update the existing plan include, but are not limited to the following: • Attend a kickoff meeting at the July 11, 2024, Joint Mequon-Thiensville Bike & Pedestrian Way Commission meeting. • Compile feedback regarding the existing plan from the Joint Mequon-Thiensville Bike & Pedestrian Way Commission and City Staff to utilize for the updated document and to serve as the Citizen Committee Public Input. • Utilize user group surveys previously conducted by the Joint Mequon-Thiensville Bike & Pedestrian Way Commission to serve as the Informal Public Input. • Provide standardized survey questions for an online resident survey platform to serve as the Needs Assessment Survey Public Input. Survey questions shall be provided first in draft form to be approved by the Joint Mequon-Thiensville Bike & Pedestrian Way Commission and ultimately established in an online resident survey platform (i.e. SurveyMonkey) which includes analysis capabilities. Include question(s) on survey for identifying locations where facilities may have unsafe facilities but do not necessarily have a crash history. • Work with the Joint Mequon-Thiensville Bike & Pedestrian Way Commission and Owner(s) to either update the existing plan or generate new goals and objectives which are specific, measurable, achievable, results-focused, and time-bound. • Update the existing document, dated January 2014, or create a new document in conformance with the Wisconsin Bicycle Planning Guidance document published by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. • In the document update, streamline the format of the document to eliminate duplicity, consolidate information, and provide an easy to read, user-friendly plan. • Present a draft document in a Public Meeting and subsequently to the Joint Mequon-Thiensville Bike & Pedestrian Way Commission to serve as the Public Meetings and Workshop Public Input. • Attend Commission meetings as outlined and/or proposed. The Joint Mequon-Thiensville Bike & Pedestrian Way Commission typically meets on the second Thursday of each month.
