Approval of Minutes — March 2007
The minutes of the March 2007 meeting were approved as presented.
Public Forum
Heuels indicated that Lithia Way near the Bard's Inn and Church Street is hazardous to bicycles due to the
constriction of the lane at the curve on the bridge and he would like to see signage to direct bicyclists to use the
sidewalk. Those present noted that this would need to be addressed by the Traffic Safety Commission, and that
there would also be issues because the section of road involved is under ODOT not City of Ashland jurisdiction.
Heuels also expressed concern with the grates in the roadway in this vicinity as a hazard to cyclists.
Tatiana Bredekin discussed the soon to be available Safe Routes to School grant funding, and her hopes to prepare a
bundled application for Ashland schools. She invited Commissioners to attend a meeting on how to apply for these
funds on Monday, April 30`h at S.O.U. from 10:00 to 2:30. She explained that between $754150,000 would be
available depending on whether applications were for a single school or bundled, and whether they included an
education component or only engineering projects. Members provided Bredekin with suggested contact people who
might be helpful at each school.
Subcommittee & Liaison Reports
There was a request for volunteers to assist with the Bike Swap, and it was noted that on Friday the 27`h volunteers
would be working at the Grove to repair bikes for the Swap. It was also noted that bike licensing would be
encouraged for all purchasers at the Swap, with on -site registration available.
Severson noted that new members had been appointed and would be beginning their terms in May, and that there
should be a full roster for the next meeting.
ICLEI/Conservation Partnership Memo
Severson referred members to the memo from Conservation Analyst Larry Giardina regarding the partnership
between the Bicycle & Pedestrian and Conservation Commissions and the Conservation Division.
Wheeldon Memorial Update
Severson noted that David Beaudoin, Carole Wheeldon's husband, had contacted the Public Works Director and
noted his preferences for the memorial site. Severson indicated that the Public Works Department was ready to
move forward with installation, and asked for Commission authorization to move ahead with this work with final
details for tree selection, placement of items, and the plaque to be worked out between Public Works and the
subcommittee members. He indicated that this would still hopefully be accomplished this spring. Members
expressed general consent to direct Public Works to move ahead.
Budget Update
Severson referred members to the memo in the packets, and noted that no new expenditures had occurred.
7007-0419 Bike & Ped minutes Page I of?
Special Vehicle Application — PediCab Proposal from Will Sherman
Chapman noted that would like to see the City repeal the restriction on where special vehicles are allowed.
Sherman explained for Burnham that he would carry double the insurance that is required by the City.
Burnham/Harding m/s to recommend approval of the application. Voice vote: All AYES. Motion passed.
It was noted that this item would also be heard by the Traffic Safety Commission at their next meeting.
Earth Day Tabling
Chapman noted that he would be at the event, but would also be helping with tabling for the Conservation
Commission. Harding stated that she would be available, but also would be tabling for KS Wild. Severson stated
that he could be available for tabling as well.
Step It Up 2007 De -Briefing
Harding gave a brief update on the Step It Up event.
New Business
Harding noted that she would not be serving another term on the Commission, and would be going to the
Conservation Commission. She stated that she would still be working on Car Free Day, which will be on Saturday,
September 22 this year. She emphasized her desire to change the event to affect more people and change their
behaviour. She stated that she would be back before the Commission to discuss Car Free Day in June.
Burnham noted that he wanted to see the large bump on the Greenway near the Dog Park addressed, and had spoken
to the Parks Director. He explained that the Parks Department was in the process of having repairs done, and that
the paving should be fixed within the next two weeks. Burnham also questioned the timing of the Siskiyou
Boulevard resurfacing, and asked that Oak Street Pedestrian Friendly Community signage be relocated and upgraded
to emphasize cycling. He also asked that requiring a three-foot buffer for cyclists be considered, as it had recently
been adopted in Grants Pass.
Maluk suggested looking at the Ashland Municipal Code as it applies to bicycling, identifying areas that need to be
further addressed, and preparing a pamphlet to educate the public.
Chapman noted that Traffic Safety was considering making the alley behind and parallel to A Street to a one-way
street, and he invited others to join him on the "Ride with Leaders."
Burnham asked that police citation and accident reports be provided.

multiple buildings, building entrances or parking lots (such as a college), exterior
bicycle parking shall be located in areas of greatest use and convenience for
bicyclists.
4. Required bicycle parking spaces located out of doors shall be visible enough to
provide security. Lighting shall be provided in a bicycle parking area so that all
facilities are thoroughly illuminated and visible from adjacent walkways or motor
vehicle parking lots during all hours of use. Bicycle parking shall be at least as

all requirements of this chapter and is the preferred design. Commercial bike
lockers are acceptable according to manufacturer's specifications. A bicycle
parking space located inside of a building for employee bike parking shall be a
minimum of six feet long by 3 feet wide by 4 feet high, unless adequate room is
provided to allow configuration as indicated in the figure at the end of this
chapter.
9. Sheltered parking shall mean protected from all precipitation and must include the
minimum protection coverages shown in the figure at the end of this chapter.
10. Bicycle parking shall be located to minimize the possibility of accidental damage
to either bicycles or racks. Where needed, barriers shall be installed.
11. Bicycle parking shall not impede or create a hazard to pedestrians. They shall not
be located so as to violate vision clearance standards. Bicycle parking facilities
should be harmonious with their environment both in color and design. Facilities
should be incorporated whenever possible into building design or street furniture.
J. Bicycle Parking Rack Standards.
1. All required bicycle parking racks installed shall meet the individual rack.
specifications shown in the figure at the end of this chapter. Single and
multiple rack installations shall conform with the minimum clearance
standards shown in the figures at the end of this chapter. Alternatives to the
above standard may be approved after review by the Bicycle Co scion.
and approval by the Staff' Advisor., Alternatives shall conform with all other
applicable standards of this section. Bicycle parking racks or lockers shall be
anchored securely.
2. The intent of this Subsection is to ensure that required bicycle racks are
designed so that bicycles may be securely locked to them without undue
inconvenience and will be reasonably safeguarded from intentional or
accidental damage.
a. Bicycle racks shall hold bicycles securely by means of the frame. The
frame shall be supported so that the bicycle cannot be pushed or fall to
one side in a manner that will damage the wheels.
b. Bicycle racks shall accommodate:
I. Locking the frame and both wheels to the rack with a high -security U-
shaped shackle lock, if the bicyclists removes the front wheel and.

Ashland, OR 97520
Dear Martha,
BreakAway Events is producing the second annual 12 Mile SuperD race on June 10,
2007. The race will be using the Mt. Ashland Ski Lodge as its staging area. The first 11
miles will be on Forest Service land. The last mile is on City of Ashland land. This is our
official request for a permit to use certain City of Ashland all -user trails.
The race begins at 9:30am at the ski lodge. It will continue down Forest Service trails.
We request the use of Alice and BTI trails. We would also like permission to end the
race at the end of BTI trail. These trails will be affected during the hours of 9:00-2:00.
We have coordinated with Steve Johnson of the Forest Service, to post signage at every
trail head a week prior, to give the public advanced notice of the race. Competitors will
be shuttled back to the Mt. Ashland staging area by Laidlaw buses. We would like to
use the same area as last year for these shuttle pick ups. The small parking area next
to the quarry entrance. Any signage or ribbon will be removed by a sweep rider at the
end of the event.
BreakAway Events will be working closely with SOMBA (Southern Oregon Mountain
Bike Association), to have trained corner marshals at all trailheads to ensure a safe race.
The race is sanctioned by the Oregon Bicycle Racing Association (OBRA) and is insured
with a $1,000,000 Liability policy. The Certificate of Insurance, with the city as co-
insured, will be submitted to your office before the race.
Thank you for processing this permit request. If you have any questions, please feel
free to contact me.
Sincerely,

at the Alice Awards & Auction in
Portland, setting yet another record
for this annual BTA fundraiser.
Guests mingled and enjoyed free
wine and beer while bidding in the
Silent Auction, before moving on to

2007 was a success, raising more than
$123,000 for the BTXs bike advocacy,

Oregon leads at the National Bike Summit
0 regonians stormed the nation's
capitol in March for the National
Bike Summit. A record twenty-one
leaders from across Oregon converged
on Washington, D.C. as part of the
430-person conference. Key leaders
from Travel Oregon and local
Portland, Bend, and Eugene tourism
departments, as well as citizen advo-
cate Brad Upton of Corvallis and local
elected officials Charlotte Lehan of
Wilsonville and Sam Adams of
Portland, joined the usual contingent
of BTA staff, media, and Oregon
bike groups.
The annual National Bike Summit
brings bicyclists, advocates, and indus-
try members together to strategize,
build relationships, and lobby for
increased funding and improved
policies for bicycling. This year the
Oregon delegation created a specific
n
world -class bicycling cities, to supple-
ment our national agenda of passing
the Bicycle Commuter Act
and Conserve by Bike Program.
Our Oregon tourism proposal calls
for connections among the Portland
area and Eugene and The Dalles, by
way of the French Prairie Bridge, the
Sandv River Brid_- . and the Columbia
Gorge Scenic Highway. In the fature
we hope to connect both routes to
Bend.
We are seeking $100 million for
Oregon's cities to create the nation's
most innovative bicycle transportation
systems. This world -class city agenda
fits well with the national Rails to

for Active Transportation.

bill. We met with representatives of
each Oregon congressional office (and
directly with Representatives David
Wu, Blumenauer, and Peter DeFazio)
to build support for our state and
national campaigns.
We also learned about Congress-

current federal recission is requiring
Governor Ted Kulongoski and the
Oregon Department of Transportation
to cut programs, and we are working to
protect programs — such as Oregon's
Transportation Enhancements — that

Three Flags Seat Belt
Enforcement in The Dalles
The Dalles Chronicle, February 22, 2007
Last year, 477 people died in vehicle crashes on
Oregon highways. More than 72 percent of the
victims-344 of them —died in rural areas like
Gilliam, Hood River, Sherman and Wasco
Counties. Oregon State Police from The Dalles
handle many of the crashes in these counties.
Icy roads in the gorge generated hundreds of
winter crashes, yet the majority of motorists
walked away with only bumps and bruises.
Countless numbers were saved in severe crashes
and rollovers, often attributed solely to the use of
their safety belt. Unfortunately, many people take
their safety for granted.
Oregon's crash fatality and injury rates have each
dropped 43 percent since passage of the adult
seat belt law in 1990. The law, combined with
active enforcement, has resulted in Oregon
becoming one of the top five belt -use states in
Volume 5, Number 4
the U.S. However, hundreds of people continue to
lose their lives each year in traffic crashes by not
using safety belts.
According to studies conducted by the
Washington Traffic Safety Commission, 61.3
percent of nighttime fatal collisions involved no
safety restraints. Also only 12 to 15 percent of
traffic travels at night, making the percentage of
fatal traffic crashes with respect to traffic volume
considerably higher during the nighttime hours.
At night there are more high risk drivers on the
road, and alcohol is three times more likely to be
involved in nighttime fatal collisions. This
information led law enforcement in British
Columbia, Oregon and Washington to "take the
fight to the night." During the most recent "Three
Flags" safety belt blitz campaign from Feb. 5 to
Feb. 18, Senior Trooper Mike Holloran of the
Oregon State Police in The Dalles was in charge
of the local campaign.

Guest Opinion: Making ATV Riding a Safer Sport for Children
2007
With over five hundred Oregon children sent to the emergency room,
nearly $8 million spent on child medical care, and ten children killed
since January of 2005, it is clear that legislation is needed that regulates
the safe usage of all terrain vehicles operated by children. I am co-
sponsoring Senate Bill 49, legislation aimed at reducing the number of
unnecessary deaths and injuries to children due to ATV accidents.
i Nationally, children under the age of 16 represent less then a 15% of the
total ATV riding population yet they account for over 35% of the injuries
and over 30% of the deaths. Since 2001, the number of children seriously
injured while riding ATVs has increased by 18%. A top cause of ATV related deaths to children under age
16 is crush injuries from rollovers. These rollovers are commonly caused by children riding adult size
ATVs..A study published by the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics reported that in 2001 87%
of all children who were injured were riding adult size ATVs. Senate Bill 49 is putting children on youth
size ATVs.
Oregon is not the first state to take the steps in regulating ATVs rider -ship, Eleven states do not allow
children under a certain age to ride ATVs, five of those states do not allow children under the age of 12 to
operate an ATV. The Specialty Vehicle Institute of America (SVIA), which is supported by the all terrain
vehicle Industry, states in their Model State ATV Legislation that no one under the age of 16 should
operate an adult size ATV and youth size ATVs (engine capacity 70 cc up to and including 90 cc) should
only be allowed to be operated on public land by those age 12 and older. It is not uncommon and not
unlawful for a 9 year old child to be operating a 250cc ATV weighing over 300 pounds.

Child Occupant Protection Law HB 2536/SB 480
Sponsored by Representative McPherson, Senator Devlin, Representative Geiser and Senator Monroe
Oregon SAFE KIDS, ACTS Oregon, Trauma Nurses Talk Tough and other organizations are supporting this
bill. This legislation proposes revisions to ORS 811.210 and 811.215.
• Requires motor vehicle passengers who are under 13 years of age to sit in rear seat of motor vehicle
when available.
• Requires persons who are under eight years of age and under 4'9" to use child safety system in
motor vehicle.
• Requires persons under one year of age regardless of weight or under 20 pounds to use a rear -facing
child safety system.
• Deletes provision allowing drivers to transport more people in vehicle than vehicle's restraint
systems can accommodate.
• Creates offense of endangering child safety.
The first hearing before the House Judiciary Committee was held on February 20, 2007. For more

Gust Opinion:
Making AN Riding a Safer
Sport for Children
Continued from Page 1
There has been a lot of debate on this issue and
one of the most common questions asked is why
regulate ATVs and not bicycles or other products
and activities that run a risk of injury. A ten year
study done in Canada reported that ATV related
hospitalization and fatality rates were 6 and 12
timeshigher, respectively, than the
hospitalization and fatality rates for bicycles. In
2005 ATV crashes in Oregon were the third
leading cause of injury death among children,
behind motor vehicle crashes, and pedestrian
deaths.
Since the bills introduction I have received
numerous correspondence with the bills
supporters and opponents. Based on those
communications a package of amendments will
be put forward that address a number of the
concerns. Sponsors of the bill are drafting
amendments that include only covering ATVs
usage on land open to the pubic, reducing the
age limitation and allowing exemptions for
agricultural and farm use.
The goal of this legislation is to protect Oregon's
children and while there is debate on this issue
the fact remains that children and adult size ATVs
are a dangerous and sometimes deadly
combination.
Senator Richard Devlin can be contacted at
sen.rfcharddevlin@state.or.us or contact Anna
Haley at 503-986-1719.

Since March 2002, Lynne Mutrie has
been the Community Traffic Safety
Program Coordinator at ACTS Oregon
She has recently accepted the
position of Safer Routes to Schools
Program Manager at the Bicycle
Transportation Alliance. We wish her
the best in her new position.
Three Flags Seat Belt
Enforcement in The Dalles
Continued from Page 1
The effort began Tuesday night, Jan. 30, when
Holloran took a pre -blitz
safety belt use survey in
The Dalles. Although the
usage rate averaged out to �
92.5 percent,
Kate Murphy, ACTS Oregon Office Manager has been promoted
to the Community Traffic Safety Program Coordinator position.
Her enthusiasm regarding traffic safety and her experience
with ACTS Oregon has prepared her well for this promotion.
At the February ACTS Oregon Board meeting,
Mike Hattan submitted his resignation from
the board. He is increasing his activity with
the Clackamas County Sheriff's Posse and can no longer commit
the time needed for the Board. We would like to thank Mike for his
years of service to ACTS Oregon including being the Board
President since October 2005. Tony Tirico, City Engineer with
Bend, has agreed to move from being Vice President to become
President for the remainder of this term.
passenger citations, and four endangering child
passenger citations. Also during this time, they
helped remove cows from Interstate 84, chased
down a reported drunk driver and assisted Wasco
County with a domestic violence call. Two of the
four cars cited for endangering child passengers
contained more than one
unbuckled child, and one
contained a two year -old who
was not restrained in a child
safety seat.
approximately 8 people

every ten minutes who
were not buckled up.`'
The blitz itself began Tuesday night, Feb. 6 when
Trooper Holloran again stood on the corner using
his radio to alert nearby troopers of safety belt
violations. In three hours, three Troopers wrote
18 driver citations and four passenger citations.
They also got an uninsured suspended driver off
the road, towing his truck.
On Friday night, Feb. 16, with only two troopers,
10 driver citations and three passenger citations
were written. They also arrested a man with an
outstanding arrest warrant and towed a separate
car for driving uninsured.
On Saturday, Feb. 17, the troopers held their third
and final nighttime saturation. In three hours
troopers wrote 15 driver citations, nine

Trooper Holloran said, "After
standing on the street corner for
a couple of nights, I think people
started figuring it out. One
gentleman pulled up, looked right at me, smiled
and then put on his safety belt. Two other guys
pulled up to the stoplight, showed me they had
their safety belts on and then gave me a thumbs -
up. There is nothing I would rather do than save
lives. The way I see it, if even one of the people
we cited for not wearing a safety belt gets in the
habit of putting it on every time they get in the
car, then it was all worth it."
When Senior Trooper Holloran first came to The
Dalles in 1999 the safety belt use rate was less
than 80 percent. Thanks in part to local
enforcement efforts and a safety belt diversion
class, the usage rate in The Dalles is now over 92
percent. A diversion class was held on Saturday
Feb.17 at the Mid -Columbia Medical Center, and
several people expressed
their appreciation and
gratitude for a "tremendous
eye opening" class. All of the
money raised from the
diversion classes goes
towards purchasing child
safety seats for low-income
families. A child seat
distribution class was also
held this week, concurrently
with National Child
Passenger Safety week.
On Monday night, Feb. 19, a
post -blitz survey was
conducted and to Senior
Trooper Holloran's
disappointment, the usage
rate remained exactly 92.5
percent. "Obviously, there is
still work to be done," he
said. "It is my goal to make
The Dalles the safest
community in Oregon. I hope
that the next time somebody
sees someone standing at an
intersection, they remember
to put on their safety belt.
Who knows? That pedestrian
might save your life."
Data may vary from source to source but it does illustrate there is a growing problem for children riding on adult size ATV's.
• 97% of all ATV related accidents among children under age 16 occurred while operating adult size ATV's. ( Scott Wolfson -Consumer
Product Safety Commission.)
• Between 1999-2005, 62 Oregonians died from riding ATVs. Of those, 17 deaths (27%) were to children under 16, and 10 (16%) occurred
to riders between 15-19 years old (Oregon death certificate data).
• Oregon Trauma Data show that between 1998-2005, 544 children aged 1-18 received traumatic injuries, with an average cost of
$23,000 for in -hospital care only.
• As ATV sales have increased, so have admissions of children into Oregon's trauma system. In 1998, 20 children were admitted —in
2005, 104 children were admitted, a 420 percent increase.
• In Oregon, the top cause of ATV -related deaths to children under age 16 was crush injuries from rollovers. (Consumer Product Safety
Commission & Oregon Parks and Rec.).
• In a crash, a child under age 16 is twice as likely to die from injuries sustained from an ATV incident than a bike incident (Oregon
Trauma Data).
