TOPIC: BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE YOUTH MEMBER
APPOINTMENT
SUBJECT: APPROVE APPOINTMENT OF BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN ADVISORY
COMMITTEE YOUTH MEMBER APPLICANT TYLER NIELSEN TO A TWO-
YEAR TERM TO THE END OF JANUARY 2022
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Confirm the appointment of Tyler Nielsen to serve as a youth member on the Bicycle and
Pedestrian Advisory Committee.
BACKGROUND:
Since its 2001 inception, the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee has sought to recruit
two high school age students among its nine members. The Committee felt that biking and
walking issues directly touch the lives of young people in our community, and that they should
have a voice in advising the City Council on these issues. Although attracting and retaining
applicants has been challenging, the students who have participated over the past 15 years
have been extremely competent and have contributed to the implementation of San Rafael’s
original Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and its 2011 and 2018 update.
ANALYSIS:
One youth seat has been “open until filled” due to the recent lack of applications. In February
2019, Tyler Nielsen applied. On June 5, 2019, the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee
interviewed Mr. Nielsen and the members unanimously recommended his appointment to the
Committee.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
RECOMMENDATION:
Confirm the appointment of Tyler Nielsen to serve as a youth member on the Bicycle and
Pedestrian Advisory Committee.
