Chris thanked the commissioners for helping promote the event, and she acknowledged Commissioner RB and Midori Tabata for their major contributions. The event included the distribution of 2,500 bike goodie bags at 12 locations across Oakland.
• Jon Bauer asked where the Open Forum Committee tracks previously submitted open forum comments, and he was directed to the “Open Forum Tracking Form”.

Notes: Item #7: Bicyclist/Pedestrian & Police Relations Committee Report-Back

Commissioner Mangrum, lead of the Bicyclist Pedestrian Police Relations Committee, provided an update to the Commission on the Committee’s current work and progress. He reported that he recently received data that they have been requesting for over a year. The committee is working with Audrey Harris, OakDOT staff, on the data for discretionary police stops. They received data from 2013 through June 2020. He is looking forward to scheduling future discussion with OakDOT, Oakland Police Department, Department of Race and Equity, and stakeholders outside of city government. He is also helping to build the relationship through bike rides with police officers.

Summary of Discussion

• There was a request that these data be published on a monthly or quarterly basis.
• OakDOT should take responsibility for releasing these data, so the public isn’t waiting on the Police Department.
• The Reimagining Public Safety Task Force would benefit from recommendations from the Bicyclist/Pedestrian Police Relations Committee. Work is underway to get a representative from the Task Force to an upcoming BPAC meeting and to get recommendations to the Task Force on their timeline (early 2021).

Notes: Item #8: Committee Report-Back

• Infrastructure Committee: Robert Prinz reported the Committee met at the beginning of the month and notes are available via the BPAC’s “Committees and Liaisons” page. Discussion included the Park Blvd ATP project at Excelsior Ave and E 38th St, and an OakDOT quick build project to upgrade past rapid-response locations and curbside bike lanes.
• Legislative Committee: No update at this time.
• The Mayor’s Commission on Persons with Disabilities resumed their monthly meetings in September. Commissioner Parreiras will attend their October 19 meeting and report back.
