050481	[Public Hearing - Appeal of Certification of Determination of Exemption/Exclusion from Environmental Review for San Francisco Bicycle Plan Policy Framework]
	Hearing of persons interested in or objecting to the decision of the Planning Department dated January 11, 2005, Case No. 2004.0420E, exempting from environmental review the proposed project regarding revision of the 1997 San Francisco Bicycle Plan. There are two major components to the San Francisco Bicycle Plan update - the Policy Framework and the Network Improvement Document. The San Francisco Bicycle Plan Policy Framework is a public policy document that provides an overview of the policies and components of a successful bicycle program. The San Francisco Bicycle Framework presents changes to the 1997 Plan by emphasizing updates to: bicycle policy and chapter topics presented in the 1997 Plan; incorporation of new design guidelines for a wide range of bicycle facilities; and a "blueprint" for potential expansion and refinement of the existing Bicycle Network. The San Francisco Bicycle Plan Policy Framework has seven goals and objectives: (1) increase safe bicycle use, (2) refine and expand the existing bicycle route network, (3) ensure plentiful, high-quality bicycle parking to complement the bicycle route network, (4) adopt bicycle-friendly practices and policies, (5) promote safe bicycling, (6) increase enforcement of bicycle-related violations, and (7) prioritize and increase bicycle funding. The second component of the overall Bicycle Plan is the Network Improvement Document, which identifies potential projects to improve bicycle transportation throughout San Francisco. The Network Improvement Document will be reviewed under a separate environmental review. (Appellants: Mary Miles and Coalition for Adequate Review [CFAR] and Ninety-nine Percent) (Filed March 15, 2005; companion measure to Files 050482, 050483, 050384.)
