HomeMy WebLinkAbout5A - Motion to approve a Revocable License for Boulder Bike Sharing CITY OF BOULDER PARKS AND RECREATION ADVISORY BOARD AGENDA ITEM MEETING DATE: February 28, 2011 AGENDA TITLE: Public hearing and consideration of a Motion to Approve a Revocable License for Boulder Bike Sharing with regard to park land locations PRESENTERS Parks and Recreation Kirk W. Kincannon, CPRP, Director of Parks and Recreation Alice Guthrie, Recreation Superintendent Lisa Martin, Urban Parks Manager Transportation Tracy Winfree, Director of Public Works for Transportation Mike Gardner Sweeney, Transportation Operations and Planning Coordinator Martha Roskowski, GO Boulder Program Manager Randall Rutsch, Senior Transportation Planner Marni Ratzel, Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Planner EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Bike Sharing (BBS), a local non-profit, is working with the city Boulder to implement a public bike sharing system in Boulder. Bike share systems provide short term bike access at multiple, conveniently located automated stations and have proven tremendously popular in other cities. While most bike share systems have been implemented by large metropolitan cities, Boulder's robust network of bicycle facilities, a large visitor base and the community's embrace of bicycling create a strong foundation for a successful program. With a planned launch date of May, 2011 for a first phase system of 20 to 25 stations in the center of the community, Boulder will likely be the first community of its size in the United States to launch a bike share system. Three stations are proposed to be located on Parks and Recreation property and require the approval of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB). Several other proposed locations are on city-owned property maintained by Parks and Recreation. All the proposed bike share station locations will be governed by the City of Boulder Revocable License Agreement included in Attachment A. The three stations proposed for Parks and Recreation property are a subset of the 20 to 25 stations expected to be included in the initial agreement. This agreement is based on the City's standard license agreement with a maximum term of three years. It gives the city the right to cancel the agreement at any time and requires that license sites be returned to their previous condition at the end of the license term or if canceled by the city. The full license agreement will need to be approved by City Council through the adoption of an ordinance and following a public hearing. The PRAB is asked to AGENDA ITEM # V-A PAGE 1 approve the license agreement for the three stations located on city Parks and Recreation owned parcels. The PRAB's action on this item will be included in the memo to Council on the Revocable License Agreement. Suggested Motion Language: Staff requests Board consideration of this matter and action in the form of the following motions: Motion to approve the proposed Boulder Bike Sharing Revocable License with regard to park land locations. BACKGROUND: Bike sharing is already successful in dozens of European and Asian cities and is rapidly being adopted in North America. The Velib program in Paris is perhaps the most famous model, while Montreal implemented the first North American system in 2009; Washington D.C, Denver, and Minneapolis launched pioneering programs in 2010. Cities expecting to launch bike sharing systems in 2011 include Aspen, Boston, Fort Lauderdale, San Antonio, Chattanooga, Des Moines, Nashville, Honolulu, San Francisco and the Bay Area, New York, Miami, Toronto, and Ottawa. Boulder is launching a bike share program to help meet the sustainability goals established by the city of reducing single-occupant vehicle trips, vehicle miles traveled and transportation- related emissions. Additional goals of the program are to: ■ Increase use and awareness of Boulder's award-winning bikeway system; ■ Create new bicycle commuters; ■ Expand community partnerships in support of bicycling as an active, fun and convenient transportation mode; ■ Leverage city contribution and commitment of the program with community-based sponsorship revenues; ■ Bolster the city's reputation as a leader in bicycling; and, ■ Encourage Boulder's many visitors to explore the city by bicycle. BBS, operating as Boulder B-Cycle, plans a Phase 1 installation of 20 to 25 stations with 200 bikes. BBS will own, operate and maintain the system. The bikes are specially designed that fit people of all sizes and are equipped for utility trips around town. Members and walk-up users can check out a bike by swiping a credit card or membership card at the station and bikes can be returned to any station. A progressive rate structure (first 60 minutes free with charges for each additional 30 minutes) encourages short trips and a quick turn-over to maximize the availability of bikes. A maintenance staff actively monitors the system to ensure the bikes are ready to ride and to redistribute bikes as needed. In the first phase, the B-Cycle stations will be located every few blocks in the Downtown area, with additional stations in an area generally bounded by 4th Street to the west, 30th Street to the east, Valmont Street to the north and the Boulder Creek Path to the south. City Council approved code changes to allow sponsorship opportunities on bike share equipment AGENDA ITEM # V-A PAGE 2 including the kiosks, sign module and bicycles. An interdepartmental staff team is working with BBS on the city review and permitting process for considering station locations. ANALYSIS: BBS has been scouting potential station locations in the downtown area for several months and analyzing the proposed locations with city staff. In addition, a number of site visits have been conducted with an interdepartmental staff group to assess potential station locations and develop a standard checklist of factors to consider in station siting. Once the initial system is established, the system will expand over time as funding allows, with a long-term goal of stations throughout more of Boulder, including the CU campus. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Role The role of the PRAB with regard to leasing, permitting, or licensing parkland property is defined in the Boulder Revised Code (BRC) as follows: Boulder Charter Section 164. Franchises, leases, permits, and licenses in parks ...The council may by motion grant leases, permits, or licenses in or on park lands, but only upon the affirmative vote of at least four members of the parks and recreation advisory board. The council may, by ordinance, delegate all or any part of this authority to the parks and recreation advisory board to approve such leases, permits, or licenses. The parks and recreation advisory board may, by motion, subdelegate all or any part of its delegated authority to approve such leases, permits, or licenses to the city manager. The city manager may enter into standard commercial licensing agreements for automatic food vending machines on park lands without the approval of the parks and recreation advisory board or the council. Council delegated such authority to the PRAB pursuant to: Section 8-3-23 Delegation Concerning Leases, Licenses, and Permits Pursuant to charter section 164, the parks and recreation advisory board is delegated the authority to approve any lease, license, or permit in or on park lands whose term does not exceed three years, as may be recommended to it by the city manager. The proposed license for bike share stations on Parks and Recreation Department properties is for a term of three years and falls under the delegated authority to the PRAB to approve licenses. Proposed Stations on Parks and Recreation Department Property For the first phase of the Boulder B-Cycle system, three stations are proposed on Parks and Recreation Department property. The station at 2490 Spruce, Greenleaf Park was discussed at the Jan. 31, 2011 PRAB meeting. Since that time, Boulder B-Cycle and Parks and Recreation staff have identified two additional station locations on Parks and Recreation Department land. These stations are located on both sides of Broadway adjacent to the transit stops on the AGENDA ITEM # V-A PAGE 3 municipal campus. These stops will directly serve regional transit riders and would replace the location at 1301 Arapahoe discussed at the Jan. PRAB meeting. Details of these proposed locations are included in Exhibit B of the license agreement in Attachment A. These include photos and layout diagrams for each proposed site including the maximum identified envelop for the licensed area. These locations are highlighted in the proposed bike sharing system map in Attachment B The following two proposed locations are on city-owned lands that are maintained by Parks and Recreation staff: 1. 1015 Arapahoe- Main Library 2. Pearl and 111, West end of the Pearl Street Mall Both of these locations have been reviewed and visited by Parks and Recreation Department maintenance staff and do not present any maintenance concerns. All stations also meeting the station siting considerations contained in Attachment C. PUBLIC PROCESS AND COMMENT: An open house on the propose Phase 1 bike sharing station locations was held on Feb. 1, 2011 in the Municipal Building lobby. While attendance was somewhat limited by the cold weather, the individuals that attended were supportive of the proposed locations and excited about bike sharing. A number of individuals suggested additional station locations that will be considered for the second phase. The open house materials have also been posted on the project's Web site at: htlp://www.bo-uldercolorado.Lyov/index.php?option=com _content&view=article&id=11401 &Ite mid=4497. This site includes both the display boards and presentation used at the open house and includes a comment form. A number of comments have been received and comments are generally supportive of the system and include suggestions for additional station locations. NEXT STEPS: As the bike sharing system is successful and expands, BBS may find that one or more additional park sites are desirable station locations. Any future stations proposed for Parks and Recreation property will be handled as an addendum to the existing license. BBS would work with Parks and Recreation and Transportation staff to identify the station location, define the license envelop and address installation and operational issues. The license addendum with these supporting materials would then be brought to the PRAB for approval. BBS has largely finalized station locations and has reviewed those locations with a national representative from B-Cycle. The full license agreement will need to be approved by City Council through the adoption of an ordinance and following a public hearing that will be scheduled in April. The PRAB's action on this item will be included in the memo to Council on the Revocable License Agreement. BBS then anticipates launching the system in May, 2001. As the system proves successful and funding allows, the Boulder B-Cycle system will expand to AGENDA ITEM # V-A PAGE 4 cover more of Boulder, with areas such as the University Hill targeted in the phase two implementation.

Key factors related to successful station location include: ■ Stations need to be conveniently located. The general rule of thumb for station spacing is that they be located about 300 meters apart. This density of stations supports the short trips that bike share systems are designed to serve. For the Boulder Downtown area with many trip originations and destinations, this suggests a station about every three blocks, such that a station can be accessed on average in less than a two block walk. In other areas, stations are further apart and located in close proximity to an anchor, such as the Millennium Hotel; ■ Stations need to be in highly visible locations, so they are easily found by visitors and residents alike. While bikes are not allowed to be ridden on the Pearl Street Mall, highly visible locations for Boulder B-Cycle stations could be placed on the loop roads around the Mall and on the streets that cross Pearl; ■ Stations should be located in areas with a density of population and employment and a variety of destinations that attract trips. The Downtown area was selected for the initial phase of Boulder B-Cycle as it has a variety of attractions, a high employment density, and a number of populations that are likely customers for bike sharing, including employees, visitors and tourists; ■ Station locations should be balanced by user base and trip type. This aspect is supported by having a variety of user types and destinations so that trips are relatively balanced. Some bike share systems have had a strong directionality of trips, such as from residential to employment areas, which require significant maintenance to rebalance the system so that bikes remain available. There are also a significant number of practical considerations in determining the specific location for a station. These include: ■ Adequate space for the required station foot print, which includes not only the physical dimensions of the station but a back-up zone allowing bikes to move behind parked bikes to access all docking stations; ■ Maintain pedestrian and ADA access to areas, building entrances and sidewalks adjacent to the bike share stations; ■ Provide good solar access where possible so that the stations can be solar powered. Where this is not possible, locate so that reasonable access to electric power is available; ■ Locate so that mowing, snow clearing, snow storage and other maintenance activities are not obstructed and can be carried out efficiently; ■ Avoid or minimize impacts to other infrastructure systems, such as signs, power, irrigation and drainage facilities; ■ Install on existing hard surface where possible for a secure footing and to minimize project costs and additional impervious surface. For stations located on Parks and Recreation Department property maintained by Parks and Recreation staff, in addition to the practical considerations in determining specific AGENDA ITEM # V-A PAGE 23 Attachment C station locations provided above, staff recommends the following criteria for bike share station locations: ■ The Boulder B-Cycle Station operators should be responsible for all maintenance and repair of the stations. ■ The Boulder B-Cycle Station operators should be responsible for any safety issue to both Boulder B-Cycle Stations users and non-users in the area. ■ The Boulder B-Cycle Station operators should be responsible for all snow removal around stations and bicycles.
