City staff demonstrated an early version of an online Active Transportation Plan (ATP) progress map intended to increase transparency about bikeway, pedestrian and Safe Routes-to-School projects.
Public Works Director Chip Taylor introduced Jose, the new active-transportation planner, who ran through four tabs: existing bikeways pre-2020, bikeways implemented since 2020, proposed ATP projects and preliminary statistics. Staff said the tool is a "beta" release and will grow to include project-status indicators (planning/design/construction), SRTS work, pedestrian improvements and richer statistics.
Why it matters: Council members and public commenters asked for filtering (show only class 4 lanes, toggle overlays), pedestrian and SRTS prominence, and accessibility (ADA) compliance for mapping. Councilmember Mellinger and others praised the early release and urged frequent iteration based on user feedback.
What s next: Staff intends to make the map live on the city website soon, add filters and overlays, expand statistics and include SRTS and pedestrian layers. The city also flagged ongoing ADA compliance work that may require some mapping changes to ensure accessibility.
End note: The map is designed as a living public resource to track progress on Sunnyvale s ATP and to help residents and advocates see how the network is evolving.
