REGULAR AGENDA
4 2020 On Street Bike Counts
Senior Traffic Engineer Robert Caskey presented the data from the 2020 on
road bicycle counts.
The board discussed becoming more involved with staff to determine locations
to perform counts in the future.
5 On-Street and Off-Street Routing Staff Project
Robert Caskey discussed a new staff project currently underway between the
Engineering, Parks & Recreation, and Information Technology Departments at
the City. The project entails creating an application that will track all existing and
future trails and on-street bicycle facilities at a more detailed and
comprehensive level than previously done. At a staff level, the application will
improve tracking, maintenance, and planning. At a resident level, the application
will allow cyclists and pedestrians to better plan a trip within the City by clearly
knowing what facilities currently exist.
Robert discussed that staff is also looking to build and/or better identify a
network of on-street facilities and exiting sidewalk that connect a majority of
existing off-street trails within the City. Using signage and minimal pavement

markings, Staff can quickly fill in the gaps between existing trails until those
gaps can be completed.
The Board discussed being more involved in these network connections and
their priority ranking.
6 Roadway Project Updates
Robert Caskey updated the board on various construction project around the
City.
7 Discussion on the current state of cycling in Frisco
The board elected not to have further discussion on this item.
8 Recommendations for future agenda topics
