The '''Charlottesville Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee''' is charged with advising [[City Council]] on safety improvements for bicycle and pedestrian facilities across the city. 

The group meets the first Thursday of every month in the [[Department of Neighborhood Development Services]] conference room. Meetings are open to the public. Topics are geared toward bicycle, pedestrian or other similar issues.

The group is coordinated by [[Amanda Poncy]], the city's bike and pedestrian coordinator. 

Members of the group are appointed by [[City Council]].

Planning for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure in [[Charlottesville]] is contained within the [[Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan]]. 

==2008==
In September 2008 the committee recommended reallocation of $700,000 from the [[Capital Projects Fund]] to pedestrian safety measures. The recommendations included public education; stepped up enforcement; ADA compliance; zebra-striped crosswalks; uniform push-button "hand man" signals with a countdown; and audio signals. The committee also made policy recommendations to enforce snow removal laws and prohibit blocking of sidewalks<ref name=minutesoheight>{{minutes-citycouncil|when=Sep. 2 2008|documentid=11767}}</ref>.
