City Council <br />Meeting Minutes January 4, 2022 <br />Mr. Reynosa stated that it is working within our existing pavement limits so it <br />would only require changing the striping to revert back. He mentioned that he <br />does not have the cost of striping. Mayor Hughson inquired about the path <br />that is already on Craddock, but may not be the entire length. Mr. Reynosa <br />stated it is not wide enough for bikes and pedestrians. <br />Council Member Baker stated removing a lane is building a bicycle <br />infrastructure and a sustainability effort. He stated that traffic relates to a <br />result of speeding and it is important to keep in mind that we want to <br />transform our community to be bike friendly and be safe for drivers and <br />bicyclist. He hopes that council will approve the suggestions which will be an <br />advantage for bike activists. He suggested asking the phone apps that provide <br />directions and other information about traffic to geo-fence off the <br />neighborhoods to ensure that doesn't become an alternate route to the main <br />streets. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Scott doesn't think we need to reduce the travel lanes. <br />Council Member Gleason stated citizens that live on Craddock Ave. are <br />concern about reducing it to one lane. He noted that most people who live in <br />San Marcos do not need a phone app to find an alternate route as we are <br />already aware of those routes. He also noted that when there is a disaster and <br />we need many people to exit an area, we need the lanes. He also noted that <br />enforcement of the speed limits will be helpful. <br />MOTION TO AMEND: A motion was made by Council Member Gleason, <br />seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Scott, to approve the recommendations and <br />amend by keeping Craddock Ave. and Session Dr. as four lane roadways. <br />Council Member Gonzales would like speed bumps to be installed. Mr. <br />Reynosa stated that the speed bumps on Craddock Ave. will be evaluated and <br />discuss with the Transportation department. Mr. Reynosa stated the <br />Transportation Master Plan currently has Craddock Ave. with protected bike <br />lanes and Sesson Dr. has shared used path. He mentioned that no bike facilities <br />will be provided if leaving the road with 4 lanes. Mayor Hughson confirmed if <br />the motion will be to remove the planned changes to Craddock Ave. from Old <br />RR 12 to Bishop and Session Dr. from Holland to N. LBJ. Mayor Hughson <br />asked if a sharrow can be done instead of nothing? Mr. Reynosa stated the <br />analysis showed it would not be recommended on these two roads. <br />Council Member Baker discussed whether we need the bike paths on both <br />City of San Marcos Page 8 <br />
