SO WITH THAT, WE WILL APPROVE THE MINUTES AS STATED.
[PUBLIC HEARINGS AND MATTERS FOR CONSIDERATION]
ARE NOW ON PUBLIC HEARINGS AND MATTERS FOR CONSIDERATION THE REVIEW AND PROVIDE FEEDBACK OF THE UPDATED DRAFT BIKEWAY NETWORK FOR THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN.I AM GUESSING THAT STAFF IS GOING TO PRESENT THIS TO US.
AND BJORN, IF YOU'D LIKE TO TAKE IT FROM HERE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CHAIR AND GOOD EVENING COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
UM, EXCITED TO DIVE BACK INTO THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN TONIGHT WITH A FOCUSED REVIEW OF AN UPDATED OF OUR UPDATED DRAFT BIKEWAY NETWORK.
UM, AND THIS IS OUR ONLY ITEM ON THE AGENDA, SO WE CAN, WE CAN REALLY, UH, DIG INTO IT.
SO I'LL JUST, UH, A QUICK OUTLINE OF THE PRESENTATION, UH, HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW OF THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN, WHAT IT IS, HOW WE ARE GOING TO USE IT, UM, REVISIT OUR DRAFT VISION AND GOALS FOR ANY NEW COMMITTEE MEMBERS OR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC NOT FAMILIAR.
AND THEN, UH, TALK THROUGH OUR APPROACH TO DEVELOPING THE BIKE, THE PROPOSED BIKEWAY NETWORK, AND, UM, ALSO THE DESIGN APPROACH, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY VERY IMPORTANT.
AND THEN, UH, FOLLOWING THAT, UM, WE'LL ACTUALLY I'LL PULL UP THE PLAN IN, UM, BLUEBEAM, AND WE CAN GO THROUGH NEIGHBORHOOD BY NEIGHBORHOOD, MARK IT UP.
[00:05:01]
TAKE ANY FEEDBACK THAT YOU HAVE AND, UH, AND THEN WE'LL, UH, JUST WRAP UP QUICKLY WITH NEXT STEPS, UH, REGARDING THE PLAN ITSELF.SO THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN, YOU ALL ARE VERY FAMILIAR.
IT'S AN UPDATE TO OUR BIKE PED MASTER PLAN ADOPTED AS AN APPENDIX TO THE GENERAL PLAN BACK IN 2008.
AND IT REALLY IS OUR, IT'S OUR, OUR BLUEPRINT, OUR PLAYBOOK FOR ALL THINGS ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION, WHETHER THEY REFER TO SPECIFIC INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS, UM, OR ANY ACTIONS WE CAN TAKE IN OTHER ARENAS LIKE EDUCATION, ENCOURAGEMENT, AND ENFORCEMENT TO MOVE THE NEEDLE AND MAKE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION SAFE AND ACCESSIBLE FOR PEOPLE OF ALL AGES AND ABILITIES.
AND, UH, THESE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLANS ARE RECOMMENDED FOR MORE FREQUENT UPDATE.
SO IT WILL THIS, LIKE THE PREVIOUS, UH, BIKE HEAD MASTER PLAN WILL ULTIMATELY BE ADOPTED AS PART OF THE CITY'S GENERAL PLAN UPDATE.
BUT, UM, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT WE OBVIOUSLY REVISIT THIS PLAN MORE FREQUENTLY, UM, THAN WE HAVE
SO THE ACTUAL OUTLINE OF THE PLAN ITSELF, UM, WE'LL HAVE A INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE, UH, CHAPTER, VISION AND GOALS, UH, EXISTING CONDITIONS, WHICH WILL DESCRIBE, UM, BOTH IN NARRATIVE FORM, KIND OF SOME OF THE PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PETALUMA, BARRIERS TO ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION, UM, STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, OPPORTUNITIES, AND ALSO, UM, PROVIDE LOTS OF DATA AROUND, UM, EXISTING TRAVEL BEHAVIOR COLLISION, COLLISION DATA, ET CETERA.
THEN WE'LL GO INTO THE ACTION PLAN, WHICH THIS COMMITTEE REVIEWED A WHILE BACK.
UM, WE'LL BRING THAT BACK TO YOU ACTUALLY NEXT MONTH WITH AN UPDATE.
AND THAT WILL INCLUDE, UM, A ACTIONABLE ITEMS, UM, FOR A VARIETY OF CITY DEPARTMENTS AND DIVISIONS IN THE FOUR MAJOR CATEGORIES OF ENGINEERING, ENFORCEMENT, EDUCATION AND ENCOURAGEMENT, UH, ALONG WITH PROPOSED TARGET DATES FOR EACH OF THOSE ACTIONS.
AND THEN, UM, THE, THE REAL MEAT OF THE, OF THE PLAN WILL BE THE PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS.
AND SO TONIGHT WE'RE REVIEWING, REVIEWING BOTH PROPOSED, UH, THE PROPOSED BIKEWAYS AND MULTI-USE TRAILS.
AND THEN NEXT MONTH WE WILL BE REVIEWING, UH, INTERSECTION AND CROSSWALK IMPROVEMENTS AS WELL AS SIDEWALK GAP CLOSURES.
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, TAKING ALL OF THOSE PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS, UM, AND ACTIONS.
UH, THE CLOSING CHAPTER WILL BE AN IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY THAT IDENTIFIES, UM, ROUGH COST ESTIMATES ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACTIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS AS WELL AS, UM, POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES AND, UM, AND, UH, SORT OF DELIVERY, UH, OUTLINES OUR, OUR PATHWAY TO DELIVERY ON, ON ALL OF THESE FRONTS.
SO IF YOU'RE CURIOUS HOW THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN FITS INTO, UH, WHAT ITS RELATIONSHIP IS TO THE GENERAL PLAN OR TO OUR ANNUAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN, UM, THIS IS INTENDED TO GIVE YOU THAT, THAT CONTEXT.
SO THE GENERAL PLAN IS REALLY THE, THE CITY'S GUIDING DOCUMENT.
THAT'S THE HIGH LEVEL DOCUMENT.
AND, UH, THE GENERAL PLAN DOES NOT GO INTO EXTREME DETAIL ON ANY, UM, UH, SPECIFIC KIND OF TOPICAL AREAS.
SO FOR EXAMPLE, JUST THIS PAST MONDAY, UM, OUR CITY COUNCIL ADOPTED OR APPROVED THE BLUEPRINT FOR CARBON NEUTRALITY, WHICH IS THE CITY'S CLIMATE ACTION PLAN.
SO THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED, UM, KIND OF A, A SUB PLAN THAT'S MORE FOCUSED AND ACTUALLY HAS, UH, SPECIFIC ACTIONS THAT THE CITY PLANS TO TAKE IN THAT AREA.
SO THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN IS OUR, IS OUR EQUIVALENT OF THE, OF THE CLIMATE ACTION PLAN.
AND FROM THE, UH, THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN, WE WILL HAVE A COMBINATION OF THOSE INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS THAT I, UH, JUST DESCRIBED, AS WELL AS NON INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAMS. AND SO THE HIGH LEVEL OR THE, THE HIGH PRIORITY INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS WILL OBVIOUSLY FEED DIRECTLY INTO OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN, UM, WHEN THAT'S WHERE THEY GET BUDGETED AND WHERE FUNDING IS ALLOCATED TO ACTUALLY DELIVER THE PROJECTS IDENTIFIED IN OUR PLAN.
AND ANYTHING THAT'S NOT REALLY INFRASTRUCTURE RELATED WILL PROBABLY FEED, UM, INTO STAFF WORK PLANS, OR IN SOME CASES MAY EVEN FEED INTO, UH, THE PEDESTRIAN YOUR, OUR COMMITTEE'S WORK PLAN.
UM, SO FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE PAST WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, UM, APPLYING TO THE LEAGUE OF AMERICAN BICYCLISTS BI FRIENDLY COMMUNITY COMMUNITIES, AND THAT'S A, A, A WORK THAT'S AN ACTION ITEM THAT COULD BE, UM, SPEARHEADED BY PAC.
SO WE'LL HAVE THOSE ITEMS, UH, IDENTIFIED IN,
[00:10:01]
IN THE PLAN AS WELL.AND THEN, OF COURSE, THIS FOOTNOTE IS IMPORTANT HERE.
YOU KNOW, THE CITY HAS, WE'VE, THE CITY HAS SO MANY DIFFERENT PLANNING DOCUMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED OVER THE YEARS, UM, ALL WITH DIFFERENT FOCUSES.
SO FOR EXAMPLE, THE PETALUMA RIVER ACCESS AND ENHANCEMENT PLAN, WHICH IS VERY SPECIFIC TO THE PETALUMA RIVER CORRIDOR, ENVISIONING ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION, INCLUDING ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION CONNECTIONS ALONG AND ACROSS THE RIVER.
UM, WE'VE GOT SPECIFIC PLANS FOR OUR SMART STATION AREAS.
UH, WE HAVE A LOCAL ROAD SAFETY PLAN.
SO THE IDEA IS, YOU KNOW, NOT TO REINVENT THE WHEEL, TAKE EVERYTHING WE HAVE FROM THOSE PLANS, BRING IT INTO THIS PLAN, OBVIOUSLY, WHICH WE'VE DONE, AND, UM, AND MAKE SURE THAT, UM, THAT, THAT WE ARE HONORING AND INCORPORATING ALL OF THAT PAST PLANNING WORK.
SO, JUMPING BACK INTO OUR, OUR DRAFT VISION STATEMENT FOR THE DOCUMENT DEVELOPED, UH, REALLY WITH THE HELP OF ONE OF OUR, OUR WONDERFUL PAC AD HOC COMMITTEES, AND, UM, JUST IMPORTANT, I, I FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO, AGAIN, FRAME EVERY CONVERSATION WE'RE HAVING ABOUT THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN WITH THIS VISION STATEMENT, BECAUSE THIS IS THE BEST, UM, HIGH LEVEL DESCRIPTION OF, UH, THIS IS THE, THIS IS WHERE WE WANT TO GO.
PETALUMA IS A WORLD CLASS ACTIVE LIVING CITY WHERE WALKING, BIKING, AND ROLLING ARE A NORMAL PART OF EVERYDAY LIFE WHERE SAFE AND INVITING STREETS AND TRAILS FORM THE FABRIC OF A THRIVING CONNECTED COMMUNITY WHERE PEOPLE OF ALL AGES AND, AND PHYSICAL ABILITIES PREFER TO USE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION.
AND UNDER THAT VISION STATEMENT, WE HAVE FOUR DRAFT GOAL AREAS, AGAIN, UH, DEVELOPED WITH, UH, PAC AD HOC COMMITTEE AND, AND WITH REVIEW FROM THE REST OF THE COMMITTEE.
AND THOSE FOUR GOALS ARE VISION ZERO BY 2030 REACHED THE CITY'S VISION ZERO GOAL OF ELIMINATING FATALITIES AND SEVERE INJURIES FOR VULNERABLE ROAD USERS.
BUILD THE NETWORK BY 2030, BUILD A SAFE, INTEGRATED, SEAMLESS, ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK THAT ENCOURAGES PEOPLE OF ALL AGES AND ABILITIES TO CONVENIENTLY TRAVEL FROM ANYWHERE IN THE CITY TO SCHOOLS, PARKS, COMMUNITY GATHERING SPACES, TRANSIT CONNECTIONS, SERVICES, DINING, SHOPPING AND JOBS.
SO THAT'S, UH, REALLY THE KEY ONE, YOU KNOW, TO, TO THINK ABOUT TONIGHT AS WE ARE GOING THROUGH OUR PROPOSED BIKE AWAY NETWORK.
DOES IT ACCOMPLISH THIS? ARE THE PROPOSED FACILITIES SAFE AND ACCESSIBLE TO ALL AGES AND ABILITIES? ARE THEY CONNECTING ALL OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS? ARE THEY CONNECTING, ARE OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS WITH THOSE KEY DAILY DESTINATIONS? THEN THERE'S THE, UM, UH, THE BEAUTIFUL STREETS AND TRAILS GOAL, WHICH IS REALLY DESCRIBING, UM, MORE THE AMENITIES AND THE AESTHETICS OF OUR INFRASTRUCTURE, UH, AS OPPOSED TO THE PHYSICAL LOCATION OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S CAPTURED UNDER THE PREVIOUS GOAL.
AND SO THIS IS ABOUT MAINTAINING OBVIOUSLY SAFE INFRASTRUCTURE, BUT ALSO MAKING IT AS INVITING AS POSSIBLE THROUGH, UM, PUBLIC ART, LIGHTING, SEEDING WATER FOUNTAINS, TREES, ET CETERA.
AND THEN LASTLY, NORMALIZE AND CELEBRATE, WHICH IS THE REALLY THE EDUCATION AND ENCOURAGEMENT PIECE OF THE PLAN.
AND THAT IS, UH, THAT AIMS TO, UM, MAKE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION A NORMAL AND CELEBRATED PART OF EVERYDAY LIFE.
SO IN DEVELOPING THE, THE BIKEWAY NETWORK AND, AND GOING BACK TO SEVERAL ROUNDS OF ENGAGEMENT THAT WE'VE DONE ON THIS, YOU KNOW, INCLUDING, UM, EVENTS, UH, OUT IN THE PUBLIC TABLING EVENTS, UH, STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS WHERE WE'VE SAT DOWN WITH BIKE ADVOCACY GROUPS AND BIKE ADVOCATES HERE IN THE COMMUNITY WITH MAPS, LOOKED AT MAPS TOGETHER, TALKED ABOUT KEY BARRIERS, UM, HIGH PRIORITY PROJECTS, UH, OR HIGH AREAS WHERE THAT, THAT FOLKS WOULD LIKE TO SEE IMPROVED, THAT REALLY KIND OF RISE TO THE TOP OF THE LIST, UM, THAT OVERCOME THOSE MAJOR BARRIERS.
UH, AND THEN, AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, A SOCIAL PINPOINT MAP THAT RECEIVED HUNDREDS OF COMMENTS.
WE HAD THE OPEN HOUSE LAST FALL.
WE, UM, BROUGHT ALL THESE, UH, KIND OF OUR, OUR LAST VERSION CAME TO PBA.
UM, GOT LOTS OF GOOD COMMENTS ON THAT.
BUT REALLY THE, THE HIGH LEVEL FEEDBACK HAS ALL SURROUND AS, AS IT SHOULD, HAS, UM, HAS REALLY HIT THESE TWO BULLET POINTS.
ONE, OUR BIKEWAY NETWORK NEEDS TO BE DESIGNED FOR ALL AGES AND ABILITIES.
SO THAT MEANS AS TRAFFIC SPEED AND VOLUME INCREASE, SO DOES OUR NEED FOR PHYSICAL PROTECTION AND SEPARATION FROM THAT VEHICLE TRAFFIC TO ENCOURAGE FOLKS WHO, UM, WHO MIGHT BE A LITTLE LESS COMFORTABLE ON BIKES TO GET OUT THERE AND, AND, AND FEEL COMFORTABLE DOING SO.
AND SO THIS TABLE, UH, TO THE TO ON THE LEFT OF THE SCREEN, THIS COMES FROM THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CITY TRANSPORTATION OFFICIALS, NATO.
THIS IS THEIR GUIDANCE FOR HOW TO SELECT ALL AGES
[00:15:01]
AND ABILITIES BIKEWAYS BASED ON THE STREET CHARACTERISTICS.AND SO WHAT THIS REALLY, THIS BULLET POINT, THIS FIRST BULLET POINT SUMMARIZES WHAT IS EXPLAINED IN DETAIL HERE.
UM, AS SPEED INCREASES, AS VOLUME INCREASES, AS THE NUMBER OF LANES INCREASE AS, UM, CURBSIDE ACTIVITY INCREASE, SO DOES THE NEED FOR PROTECTED BIKE LANES.
SO REALLY, YOU KNOW, IF WE ARE DESIGNING A SUCCESSFUL ALL AGES AND ABILITIES NETWORK, YOU WOULDN'T SEE SHEROS ON BUSY STREETS.
YOU WOULDN'T SEE JUST PAINTED BIKE LANES ON OUR BUSIEST, UM, HIGH SPEED STREETS.
YOU WOULD SEE SOMETHING MUCH MORE ROBUST.
UM, I WILL NOTE THAT IT DOES, YOU KNOW, IT ACCORDING TO THIS GUIDANCE, THERE IS A, A ROLE FOR SHARED, SHARED LANES TO PLAY.
UM, YOU CAN SEE THAT AT DESIGN SPEEDS AROUND 20 MILES PER HOUR AND WITH FEWER THAN, UH, 1500 TO 2000 VEHICLES PER DAY THAT SHARED STREETS AND BIKE BOULEVARDS ARE A RECOMMENDED TREATMENT.
THOSE ARE SO REALLY, YOU KNOW, THAT THAT'S THE STREETS THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HERE, LIKE FIFTH STREET, WHERE WE'VE GOT REALLY LOW VOLUME, YOU KNOW, WE'LL MAKE THOSE IMPROVEMENTS TO DECREASE TO, TO CALM TRAFFIC.
UM, YOU DON'T REALLY NEED A BIKE LANE ON A STREET LIKE FIFTH STREET.
IT'S GOT LOW TRAFFIC, LOW SPEED, UM, BUT AS OBVIOUSLY AS YOU GO TO THE COLLECTORS AND ARTERIALS, YOU NEED, YOU NEED MORE ROBUST INFRASTRUCTURE.
AND THEN THE SECOND KEY POINT IS THAT THE NETWORK NEEDS TO BE SEAMLESS.
UH, THAT REALLY OUR BIKEWAYS ARE ONLY AS STRONG AS THEIR WEAKEST LINKS.
SO THINKING REALLY CAREFULLY ABOUT HOW THESE, UM, HOW EASY IT IS TO GET AROUND USING OUR NETWORK, MAKING SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE THOSE GAPS, THAT WE HAVE REALLY GOOD CROSSINGS IN PLACE WHERE TRAILS INTERSECT STREETS, FOR EXAMPLE.
AND, UM, AND AGAIN, JUST, UH, REALLY GOOD COVERAGE SO THAT YOU REALLY CAN GET TO EVERY SINGLE SCHOOL, EVERY PARK, UM, EVERY OTHER DESTINATION USING OUR BIKE, OUR PROPOSED BIKE NET NETWORK.
SO WITH THAT, I WILL OPEN UP, ACTUALLY I'LL, I'LL HIT ANOTHER SLIDE FIRST.
UM, TONIGHT WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR IS, YOU KNOW, AN OP IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMMITTEE TO ADD, REMOVE, OR ADJUST OUR BIKEWAY ALIGNMENTS IN REAL TIME, AND ALSO TO LOOK AT THE PROPOSED BIKEWAY TYPES AND, AND ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT OR SUGGEST, UH, IMPROVEMENTS TO THAT, TO THAT NETWORK, UM, OR TO THE PROPOSED BIKEWAY TYPES.
AND, UM, ALSO TO IDENTIFY HIGH PRIORITIES.
SORRY, I THINK I KIND OF WENT, I, THAT SLIDE SHOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER.
UM, SO THESE ARE OUR BIKEWAY TYPES.
UH, I KNOW THERE WERE SOME QUESTION, OR THERE WAS A QUESTION BY EMAIL ABOUT WHAT THE CLASSIFICATIONS MEANT.
UH, WE HAVE UPDATED THE LEGEND, APOLOGIES FOR THAT.
SO HOPEFULLY THESE DESCRIPTORS GIVE YOU A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT EACH OF THE DIFFERENT BIKEWAY TYPES ARE.
SO WE'VE GOT THE SHARED USE PATHS, UM, MULTI-USE PATHWAYS LIKE LYNCH CREEK TRAIL STANDARD PAINTED BIKE LANES LIKE WE HAVE ON B STREET HERE IN THIS TOP IMAGE, BUFFERED BIKE LANES, WHICH HAVE A WIDER PAINT BUFFERED AREA LIKE WE HAVE ON PEDAL BOULEVARD SOUTH, UM, IN SOME LOCATIONS WHERE ROADWAY WIDTH IS CONSTRAINED, IF A STREET IS HILLY, YOU WANNA PRIORITIZE ADDING A BIKE LANE IN THE UPHILL DIRECTION, WHICH IS WHERE SPEED DIFFERENTIAL BETWEEN PEOPLE BIKING AND VEHICULAR TRAFFIC IS GREATER.
CLASS THREES ARE SHARED, SHARED STREETS.
SO A CLASS THREE BIKE ROUTE WOULD JUST BE BASICALLY MAYBE SHARES AND SIGNAGE, REALLY NO OTHER IMPROVEMENTS IMPLIED A NEIGHBORHOOD GREENWAY WOULD BE A CLASS THREE ROUTE THAT HAS ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC CALMING AND TRAFFIC DIVERSION MEASURES.
SO AGAIN, YOU'LL SEE TRAFFIC CIRCLES, BOUTS, MAYBE A TRAFFIC DIVERTER AT A MAJOR STREET CROSSING LIKE WE'D DONE, UM, AT THE FIFTH STREET INTERSECTION OF D STREET.
WHAT DIFFERENTIATES A CLASS THREE FROM A THREE BI, WE REALLY DON'T HAVE ANY CLASS THREES PROPOSED IN OUR NETWORK.
AT LEAST THAT'S NOT THE, THE, THAT WAS NOT OUR INTENT.
SO IF WE CAPTURE ANY, IF WE SEE ANY CLASS THREES TONIGHT, WE CAN FLAG THOSE.
AND, UM, AND THEN CLASS FOURS ARE SEPARATED BIKE LANES LIKE WE HAVE ON NORTH MCDOWELL, YOU KNOW? YES, I KNOW THE LEVEL OF PROTECTION VARIES GREATLY.
THAT'S SOMETHING WE WILL DEFINITELY ADDRESS IN THE PLAN.
UM, AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, PROVIDE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS TOWARD MORE ROBUST PROTECTION BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WHAT WE'VE GOT ON NORTH MCDOWELL WHILE BETTER THAN NOTHING, UM, YOU KNOW, I, I THINK THERE'S, THERE'S MORE THAT COULD BE DONE OBVIOUSLY TO, TO PROVIDE THAT PHYSICAL PROTECTION
[00:20:01]
FROM VEHICULAR TRAFFIC.AND, UH, AND THEN IN A HANDFUL OF LOCATIONS WE'VE REALLY TRIED TO AVOID, UH, KIND OF PUNTING TO CORRIDOR STUDIES WHERE, BUT THOSE ARE LOCATIONS WHERE WE'RE REALLY KIND OF SCRATCHING OUR HEAD BECAUSE OF CONSTRAINED ROADWAY WIDTH OR OTHER ROADWAY CHARACTERISTICS WHERE IT'S NOT IMMEDIATELY OBVIOUS WHAT KIND OF BIKE FACILITY IS FEASIBLE.
AND IT JUST, IT WOULD BENEFIT, UM, A GREATER DEGREE OF BOTH, UM, ANALYSIS AND ALSO AND JUST STUDYING THE CORRIDOR, UM, BUT ALSO ENGAGING THE COMMUNITY AND, AND BETTER UNDERSTANDING THE, THE NEEDS AND THE TRADE-OFFS.
UM, AND THEN WE'VE ALSO GOT, UH, WHICH ACTUALLY, YEAH, SO MOST I THINK ARE GONNA BE SHOWING US SHARED USE PATHS.
THERE MAY BE A HANDFUL OF PAVED TRAILS THAT ARE SLIGHTLY NARROWER.
AND THEN WE'VE GOT, UM, UH, TRAILS IN THIS, THESE WHITE SQUIGGLY LINES WHICH ARE REALLY GENERALLY, UM, UNPAVED AND MAYBE NOT INTENT ACCESSIBLE BY BIKE, BUT MAYBE NOT INTENDED AS MUCH FOR MULTI-USE.
YOU KNOW, NOT SOMEWHERE WHERE YOU'D WANNA SEE SOMEONE, NOT SOMEWHERE WHERE YOU WOULD GO.
UM, NOT A TRAIL YOU WOULD USE BY BIKE TO GET FROM POINT A TO POINT B.
MAYBE SOMEWHERE YOU'RE GONNA BIKE FOR RECREATION, BUT NOT SOMETHING YOU'RE GONNA USE TO ACTUALLY, IF YOU ARE TRYING TO GET SOMEWHERE
UM, AND THEN LASTLY, BEFORE WE GO INTO THE, ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW WHAT, I'LL STOP THERE.
WE'LL COME BACK TO PRIORITIZATION.
UM, SO WITH THAT, I WILL CHANGE, I'LL PAUSE FOR QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE, AND THEN I'LL JUST JUMP INTO SHARING MY SCREEN WITH THE, UH, WITH THE MAP, IF THAT SOUNDS GOOD.
ANY QUESTIONS OF WHAT, FROM WHAT I'VE COVERED SO FAR? SO CAN YOU, WE ARE, WHEN WE, WHEN WE START DISCUSSING THE BIKE WAYS AND THE MAP, CAN WE DO IT BY GROUPS, BY SECTIONS, BY NEIGHBORHOODS OR SOMETHING SO THAT WE'RE NOT JUST GOING ALL OVER THE PLACE? YES, THAT WOULD BE MY PREFERENCE.
YEAH, THAT WOULD BE MINE TOO, SO THAT WE CAN SORT OF JUST CENTER IN ON THAT.
YEAH, MAYBE WE KIND OF START BY OUR CITY ISN'T REALLY EASY TO BREAK UP BY QUADRANT, BUT WE CAN, WE'LL JUST START, UM, START IN ONE CORNER AND WORK OUR WAY ACROSS.
ALRIGHT, WELL, WITH THAT DO, ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS, BRIAN? YEAH.
UM, THANKS FOR THE PRESENTATION, BJORN.
CAN YOU TALK, UM, A LITTLE BIT ABOUT COORDINATION WITH THE FIVE-YEAR PAVING PLAN AND TO WHAT EXTENT IS THE FIVE-YEAR PAVING PLAN ALSO HELPING TO BUILD OUT THE BIKE NETWORK AND THAT SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO SORT OF ARTICULATE A SPECIFIC POLICY IN WITH THE PLAN? YEAH, SO THE, UM, SO WHERE THE PRIORITIZATION WILL COME IN HANDY WITH THIS DOCUMENT IS ACTUALLY, LET ME LEMME START WITH THIS.
SO WE HAVE COMMITTED THROUGH OUR, OUR EXISTING COMPLETE STREETS POLICY, WHICH WAS ADOPTED BY CITY COUNCIL IN 2015.
UM, AND, AND THROUGH SUBSEQUENT KIND OF, UH, GOALS AROUND VISION ZERO CARBON NEUTRALITY, UM, AND, AND THROUGH THE ADOPTION OF THIS PLAN, I THINK WILL BE A VERY CLEAR COMMITMENT THAT WHENEVER WE ARE PAVING A STREET, WE WILL BE REFERRING TO THIS PLAN AND TO THE PROPOSED BIKEWAY OR BIKE OR PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS ON A GIVEN STREET AND MAKING THOSE UPGRADES AS PART OF THE PAVING PROJECT.
UM, AND, UH, OBVIOUSLY PAVING PROJECTS PRESENT JUST THE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE THE BEST OPPORTUNITY WE HAVE RIGHT? TO, TO QUICKLY, UM, TO, TO BUILD OUT OUR NETWORK.
SO THE FIVE-YEAR PAVING PLAN HAS BEEN, WAS JUST, UH, WAS ADOPTED BY COUNCIL ON MONDAY NIGHT.
IT HAS CRITERIA INCORPORATED IN IT THAT WILL PRIORITIZE, OR THAT DID, DID PRIORITIZE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION CONNECTIONS, CONNECTIONS WITH SCHOOLS AND PARKS, UM, AND ALSO, UH, IN AREAS WHERE WE HAVE HIGH COLLISION HISTORY.
SO, UM, SO YOU SHOULD SEE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE FIVE YEAR PLAN AND THEN YOU LOOK AT THIS MAP, YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF OVERLAP.
UH, AND THAT'LL BE AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS AS WE TACKLE WHAT WE HOPE WILL BE UN UNPRECEDENTED LEVELS OF, OF PAVEMENT IMPROVEMENTS TO REALLY QUICKLY BUILD OUT OUR NETWORK.
UM, WHERE THIS PLAN WILL HAVE REALLY HELPFUL.
SO WE'RE GONNA KIND OF DO A PRIORITIZATION EXERCISE THROUGH THIS PLAN AS WELL.
AND WHERE THAT WILL HELP US IS MORE ON THE DISCRETIONARY SIDE.
SO LIKE I SAID, IF WE'RE PAVING A PRO A STREET, IT'S GETTING, AND
[00:25:01]
IT'S A PROPOSED BIKEWAY, IT WILL GET BIKEWAY UPGRADES.BUT IF WE'RE GOING AFTER GRANT FUNDING FOR, UH, MULTI-USE TRAILS, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT THAT'S WHERE HAVING SOME PRIORITIZATION WILL BE REALLY HELPFUL.
UM, SO WE CAN DECIDE BETWEEN WHICH TRAIL SECTIONS TO GO FOR, UM, OR IF WE ARE TRYING TO IDENTIFY CORRIDORS WHERE WE KNOW WE DON'T HAVE A PAVING PROJECT COMING UP, BUT, UM, WE HAVE A REALLY HIGH PRIORITY BIKE WAY THAT WE WANT TO IMPLEMENT.
NOW WE KNOW WE SHOULD BE LOOKING AT THAT FOR A QUICK BUILD PROJECT, IF THAT'S HELPFUL.
IS THAT KIND OF ANSWER YOUR QUESTION OR? IT DID.
I GUESS I'M ALSO THINKING LIKE ON THE HOWARD PROJECT, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS LIKE SOME SIDEWALK GAPS THAT WE WERE LIKE, YEAH, WE WANT TO FIX THAT TOO.
RIGHT? AND THAT'S, I I'M JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT, UM, THAT WHEN WE'RE IMPLEMENTING OUR PAVING PLAN, THAT WE'RE ALSO ADDRESSING SOME OF THOSE LIKE, OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE'LL NEVER GET TO IF WE DON'T DO IT WHILE WE'RE DOING IT.
UM, SO SORRY FOR THE DISTRACTION.
IF I, IF I UNDERSTOOD CORRECTLY, UH, YOU'RE JUST HIGHLIGHTING THE IMPORTANCE OF REFERRING TO THIS PLAN AS WE'RE GOING THROUGH PAVING PROJECTS, UM, TO, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE CAPTURING THAT OPPORTUNITY.
THAT, THAT'S DEFINITELY, THAT'S THE INTENT, YES.
ANY OTHER EXCELLENT QUESTION? I'M GOOD.
UM, I'VE NOTICED WITH THE, YOU KNOW, LOOKING FORWARD TO PAVING PLAN, THAT'S, UH, WHERE THE OPPORTUNITY IS TO MAKE THE CHANGES WE WANNA SEE.
UM, I'VE NOTICED WITH THE ONES DONE RECENTLY THAT IT SORT OF FOLLOWS IN THE MOLD OF, OF WHAT IS PLANNED, UM, LOOKING AT THESE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BIKE LANES.
UM, I WONDER, HOWEVER, IN LOOKING AT THE STREETS WE HAVE THAT ARE ALL, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE OLDER, RIGHT? VERY FEW OF THEM ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CURRENT STREET DESIGN GUIDELINES, DESIGN, WHATEVER IT'S CALLED, UM, CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS AS FAR AS THE SPACE THAT'S DICTATED FOR LANES AND, UM, SIDE TREATMENT.
BUT WE HAVE, UH, I SEE SPACE, UH, A LOT OF THESE STREETS, YOU KNOW, MARIA, UM, HAS LIKE 50 FEET.
THERE'S ENOUGH ROOM FOR PARKING AND LANES AND LIKE THE 11 FEET THAT WOULD BE FOR A, YOU KNOW, RESIDENTIAL STREET FOR SIDE TREATMENT ON EITHER SIDE.
UM, IT'S FROM THERE THAT MAKING BIKE LANES.
UM, WHAT MY QUESTION BOILS DOWN TO IS, IS THERE ANY WAY THAT IN ALL OF THIS, UH, THESE CAPITAL PROJECTS, IT COULD BE GO BEYOND REPAVING AND ACTUALLY MOVE WHERE THE CURBS ARE? UH, 'CAUSE UH, YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE PEDESTRIAN BICYCLE COMMITTEE BECAUSE WE HAVE A NATURAL AFFINITY BETWEEN PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION, UM, AND THEY HAVE MORE IN COMMON THAN, UH, YOU KNOW, THE MOTOR VEHICLE, MOTOR TRANSPORTATION, UH, HAS, AND RIDING IN THE GUTTER, UH, IS, IS A UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE, UH, EVEN IF IT IS PROTECTED, EVEN IF IT IS REALLY WIDE.
UM, SO, UH, WHAT'S STOPPING US FROM KEEP, FROM PUTTING THAT ON THE TABLE FOR THE OTHER THAN MONEY? OF COURSE, I KNOW IT'S MORE EXPENSIVE TO DO MORE INVOLVED PROJECTS, BUT, UH, COULD YOU COMMENT ON THAT PLEASE? IT'S, IT'S A REALLY, REALLY GOOD POINT AND A REALLY GOOD QUESTION.
UM, THE, THE TOUGH REALITY IS THAT MOVING, MOVING CURBS IS VERY EXPENSIVE.
WHERE I THINK, UM, YOU KNOW, WHERE THESE PLANNING DOCUMENTS TEND TO START IS, YOU KNOW, GIVE US WHAT'S, WHAT'S THE ASPIRATIONAL, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S OUR VISION? WHAT'S, WHAT'S THE BEST FACILITY WE COULD IMPLEMENT ON? WHAT'S THE FACILITY THAT WE SHOULD IMPLEMENT ON A STREET? AND THEN, UM, AND THEN AS YOU GET INTO THE ACTUAL DESIGN WORK, YOU KNOW, THERE DOES HAVE TO BE SOMEWHAT OF A COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF, YOU KNOW, IS, UH, IS THE ADDITIONAL COST TO WIDEN A STREET, FOR EXAMPLE, MOVE CURB LINES, WHICH COULD DOUBLE A PROJECT COST, YOU KNOW, WORTH THE TRADE OFF.
SO, UM, I THINK WHAT THIS PLAN CAN HELP WITH IS REALLY IDENTIFYING THOSE KEY CORRIDORS WHERE IT ABSOLUTELY IS, AND WHERE WE ARE NOT WILLING TO COMPROMISE
[00:30:01]
ON THOSE DESIGN ELEMENTS.UM, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOME DEGREE OF, OF, UM, THAT AGAIN, JUST THAT, THAT COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS AND THE, THE GOAL, IDEALLY AS WE BUILD OUT OUR DESIGN TOOLKIT AND WE, WE GET MORE EXPERIENCE WITH BIKEWAY DESIGN, UM, KIND OF FIGURE OUT WHAT THE MORE COST EFFECTIVE WAYS ARE, UH, TO DO THESE WITHOUT MOVING CURB LINES OR WITH MINIMAL ADJUSTMENTS IF THAT, IF THAT HELPS.
UM, AND THEN RIGHT OF WAY OF COURSE IS OBVIOUSLY THE MAJOR, LIKE SOMETIMES YOU JUST WILL NOT HAVE A WIDE ENOUGH PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY AND, YOU KNOW, TO MAKE A MORE ROBUST IMPROVEMENT, YOU MIGHT NEED TO PURCHASE RIGHT OF WAY.
UM, WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY GONNA BE, I'M JUST TALKING ABOUT USING THE, THE EXISTING STANDARDS, WHICH I BELIEVE WERE, UM, PUT IN PLACE AFTER MOST OF THE, THE STREETS WERE BUILT, AND SO WE'RE NOT IN COMPLIANCE.
AND I'M FAMILIAR WITH LIKE A D UPGRADES THAT ARE TRIGGERED MM-HMM.
WE DON'T DO THAT AS WE DO CAPITAL PROJECTS AROUND THE CITY.
THESE COME AROUND, YOU KNOW, EVERY 20 YEARS OR SO AT BEST FOR THESE STREETS.
SO IT'S A, A REAL MISSED OPPORTUNITY IF, UH, TO SAVE SOME MONEY NOW.
WE'RE NOT, UM, REALLY, YOU KNOW, DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO, TO GET TO WHERE ALL AGES AND ABILITIES ARE COMFORTABLE ON THE ROADS, UM, TO, TO WHERE THE NETWORK CAN BE SEAMLESS.
UH, I IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO, TO BUILD A LOT OF REALLY NICE PAVED ROADS THAT PEOPLE ARE STILL SCARED TO, TO RIDE ON.
NO, THAT'S, YEAH, YOU'RE, I MEAN, YOU'RE SPOT ON.
I, I, I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM, UM, THAT THAT IS THE GOAL IS, IS TO REALLY SOLIDIFY THAT ALL AGE AND ABILITIES, DESIGN CRITERIA WITH THIS.
AND, AND AS YOU'LL SEE NEXT MONTH, ONE OF THE TOP, TOP RECOMMENDATION TOP PRIORITIES IN THE ACTION PLAN IS TO, UH, DO AN UPDATE TO OUR, OUR CITY'S COMPLETE STREETS POLICY, TO BE MORE CONSISTENT WITH THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION COMMISSIONS, WHICH WAS UPDATED RECENTLY TO REALLY TRY TO INSTITUTIONALIZE ALL AGES AND ABILITIES DESIGN.
UM, AND I, THAT WAS ALSO A, A PRIORITY IN THE, IN THE BLUEPRINT FOR CARBON NEUTRALITY THAT WAS ADOPTED ON, ON MONDAY.
AND DO I SEE ANOTHER HAND? I, I HAVE A QUICK COMMENT.
SO, SO MORE OF A COMMENT, UH, THAN A QUESTION.
UM, IN THE EXAMPLE THAT BJORN SHOWED, UH, WITH THE SEPARATED BIKE LANE, UH, ON NORTH MCDOWELL WITH THE, UH, IT HAS THE BUFFER SPACE AND THE, UH, DELINEATORS, UM, THERE ARE OTHER LIKE MORE TYPICAL, UM, SEPARATED BIKE LANES.
WE HAVE SOME EXAMPLES HERE, UH, IN PETALUMA ON RAINIER BOULEVARD AND, UM, SOUTH PETALUMA BOULEVARD WHERE YOU ACTUALLY ARE ABLE TO SEPARATE THE BIKE LANE, UH, WITH, YOU KNOW, PARKING LANES.
UM, SO I JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT OUT AT, AT PLANT THAT SEED AS WE'RE THINKING ABOUT FEEDBACK FOR, YOU KNOW, VARIOUS, UH, UM, UH, PARTS OF THE MAP AND SUCH.
AND WE CAN IDENTIFY DIFFERENT, THOSE DIFFERENT TREATMENTS IN THIS, IN THIS PLAN.
UM, YOU KNOW, THE LIST IS EVOLVING CONSTANTLY.
IT WASN'T LONG AGO THAT K 70 ONES LIKE WE HAVE, THOSE ARE THOSE KIND OF WIDER PLASTIC DELINEATORS LIKE WE HAVE ON NORTH MCDOWELL, K 70 ONES WERE, YOU KNOW, ALL THE CITIES WERE, WERE USING THOSE.
AND THAT WAS KIND OF THE NEW, UM, PREFERRED PROTECTED BIKEWAY TREATMENT, UH, A COUPLE YEARS AGO.
AND NOW A LOT OF CITIES HAVE MOVED MORE TOWARDS PARKING BLOCKS AND BIGGER CONCRETE BARRIERS.
UM, AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE ACTUALLY ALREADY LOOKING AT FOR OUR NEXT, WHAT I'LL CALL OUR NEXT GENERATION OF PROTECTED BIKEWAYS ON RAINIER AND CA FIELD, AND CASA GRANDE IS ALL RIGHT, NEXT ONES WE SHOULD DO IN CONCRETE.
UM, SO THAT WILL CONTINUE TO EVOLVE.
BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, THERE'S A RECOGNITION THAT, UH, IT, WE NEED THE PROTECTED, THAT'S THE DIRECTION THINGS ARE GOING IS, IS TOWARDS MORE ROBUST PROTECTION.
AND NOW THAT WE'VE GOT A BIKE LANE SWEEPER, WE REALLY, YOU KNOW, WE'VE KIND OF SOLVED THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE THAT A LOT OF CITIES GRAPPLE WITH WHEN THEY'RE IMPLEMENTING PROTECTED BIKE LANES.
LIKE THEY, THEY CAN'T KEEP THEM CLEAN, SO THEY DON'T WANT TO IMPLEMENT THEM.
SO WE DON'T, WE DON'T HAVE THAT EXCUSE ANYMORE
[00:35:01]
REGARDING, UM, AS I ALWAYS DO, THE COLORS THAT ARE USED, THEY, WE REALLY NEED, WE'VE GOT IT.LOOK, I MEAN, THIS IS JUST WHAT I'M SAYING.
CLASS ONE LOOKS LIKE IT'S SORT OF SOME FUNNY TONE OF GREEN, AND THEN WE GET INTO CLASS TWO AND THAT SEEMS TO BE YELLOW.
AND THEN WE HAVE, WELL, THERE'S ANOTHER CLASS TWO THAT'S GOT, NOW WE'VE ADDED ORANGE TO IT, THEN WE GET TO BIKE ROUTES, WHICH ARE ORANGE.
WE, WE NEED ANOTHER COLOR IN THERE THAT, THAT ISN'T JUST LIKE YELLOW OR ORANGE.
ADAM, CAN I PUT YOU ON THE SPOT,
SO THESE COLORS WERE BASED OFF, UH, THE FAIR AND PIERS, UM, PREVIOUS BIKE MAPPING, UM, EFFORTS NOT, SO IT'S, I MEAN, SORT OF, BUT NOT REALLY.
YEAH, THEY'RE, IT'S APPROXIMATE.
UM, AND WE DID MENTION IT THEN THAT AGAIN, THE COLOR JUST, AND WE NEED COLORS THAT POP SO THAT YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS.
I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS, AND WE'RE BE FINE TO, TO CHANGE THEM AROUND IS THINKING OF, UH, OFF LIKE SOME TYPE OF HIERARCHY, MAYBE BY SHADE, FOR INSTANCE.
THAT'S USUALLY THE WAY THAT I THINK ABOUT IT.
IF THERE'S DARKER COLORS, YOU KNOW, THAT MEANS THAT'S A MORE DEDICATED, PROTECTED, SEPARATED TYPE OF ROUTE.
THE LIGHTER COLORS ARE ONES WHERE IT'S LIKE MAYBE SOFTER, LESS PROTECTION.
UM, SO YEAH, THESE COLORS ARE DEFINITELY OPEN TO INTERPRETATION AND CHANGES IF THERE ARE SOME RECOMMENDED COLORS FOR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES.
UM, BUT I THINK THAT'S THE, AT LEAST THE PHILOSOPHY THAT'S HELPFUL TO THINK ABOUT IT.
SO YOUR MIND CAN MORE EASILY INTERPRET, YOU KNOW, DARK IS THE, THE NETWORK IS THE FULLY MORE PROTECTED SEPARATED NETWORK.
THAT'S WHAT YOU REALLY WANNA SEE POP OUT.
UM, MY PERSONAL OPINION, BUT, UH, HAPPY TO TAKE FEEDBACK ON COLOR SUGGESTIONS AS WELL TOO.
I, AND I APOLOGIZE, ADAM, I, I, SORRY, I THOUGHT WE HAD
THEY SHOULD BE, BE, I CAN DOUBLE CHECK AND MAKE SURE, BUT THEY'RE TRYING TO BE AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE.
THERE MIGHT BE, WELL, PERHAPS YOU COULD BRING SCS TO US AND WE COULD, OR GIVE US A LINK SO THAT WE COULD SEE WHAT ETA IS USING.
I'VE GOT THAT, I'VE GOT ACTUALLY GOT THAT FOR LATER, SO I'LL, I'LL SHARE THAT.
ANYWAY, I DON'T WANNA BELIEVE THIS IS, LET'S, LET'S MOVE ON.
BUT THE GOAL IS THE COLORS HAVE A UNIFORM SYMBOLOGY ACROSS ALL PLANS IN THE COUNTY.
THAT'S, SO I DON'T KNOW THAT WE'RE GONNA DRIVE THE SYMBOLOGY, WE'RE JUST GONNA COPY WHAT EVERYONE ELSE IN THE COUNTY IS DOING SO THAT ALL OF THE MAPS HAVE A UNIFORM LOOK AND FEEL.
BUT YOU COULD DIRECT YOUR COMMENTS TO THAT.
ANYONE ELSE HAVE A COMMENT? IF NOT, WE'LL MOVE TO PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM.
UM, AND, AND ACTUALLY, I, I APOLOGIZE.
IT'S KIND OF A, UM, A TOUGH WAY TO INVOLVE THE PUBLIC.
UH, I'M WONDERING IF MAYBE WE JUST WANT TO GO THROUGH THE MAP AS A COMMITTEE AND THAT WAY THE PUBLIC WILL HAVE THE BENEFIT OF SEEING ALL OF YOUR COMMENTS, AND THEN WE CAN GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT, KIND OF BREAK FROM OUR, SO JUST MOVE PUBLIC COMMENT.
YEAH, WE'RE GETTING THUMBS UP FROM THE AUDIENCE.
SO THAT'S A, THAT'S A GREAT SUGGESTION.
IT'S, YEAH, IT'S NOT A TYPICAL ITEM, SO I THINK THAT WOULD REALLY BENEFIT OUR, OUR MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO ARE HERE.
LET ME SHARE, UM, CHANGE MY SCREEN AND THEN WE CAN JUMP INTO IT.
AND I DID EMAIL OUT A LINK FOR THOSE OF YOU FOLLOWING ALONG ON YOUR LAPTOPS, HOPEFULLY, OR NOT A LINK, BUT A PDF IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO LOOK AT, AT IT YOURSELVES.
UM, LET'S SEE, WHERE SHALL WE START? WE CAN START OVER AT THE FAR END OF TOWN, UM, PERHAPS.
AND SO A KEY DISTINCTION TO MAKE.
SO YOU'LL SEE A DASHED, UM, GRAY LINE, IF I ZOOM OUT, ACTUALLY, IT'LL BE A LOT MORE OBVIOUS.
UM, SO OBVIOUSLY EVERYTHING WITHIN CITY LIMITS IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE KIND OF CONTROL OVER WHAT IS SHOWN.
UM, SO THAT'S WHERE, AND, AND I CAN TAKE FEEDBACK ON THINGS OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS, BUT WHAT WE HAVE DONE IS
[00:40:01]
ACTUALLY LOAD THE DRAFT PROPOSED NETWORK FROM THE UNINCORPORATED COUNTY, WHICH IS BEING UPDATED CURRENTLY.AND SO THOSE ARE THE CONNECTIONS THAT ARE SHOWING OUTSIDE OF CITY LIMITS.
UM, SO I'M ALSO HAPPY TO TAKE FEEDBACK ON THOSE TONIGHT AND WE CAN PASS THOSE ALONG BACK TO SCTA, UM, IF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS DIRECTLY OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS, BUT OTHERWISE, UM, WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IN WITHIN THAT DASH GRAY LINE IS WITHIN SEED LIMITS.
SO IF WE START OUT AT, UH, KIND OF THE VICTORIA HELEN PUTNAM AREA, YOU CAN SEE, UM, CLASS TWO BIKE LANES PROPOSED ON WINDSOR DRIVE, WHICH IS A, A LOWER VOLUME STREET.
UH, YOU CAN SEE THE PROPOSED MULTI-USE TRAIL, UH, FROM THE SCOTT RANCH, UH, DEVELOPMENT AND SLASH HELEN PUTNAM, UH, PARK EXPANSION CONNECTING INTO THE PARK.
YOU'VE GOT THE SERIES OF TRAILS ALONG LA CRESTA RIDGE, AND THEN YOU HAVE SOME, UM, UH, LET'S SEE, BUFFERED BIKE LANES.
SO THIS WOULD BE IN THE UNINCORPORATED COUNTY PLAN, LOOKS LIKE WOULD BE CALLING FOR BUFFERED BIKE LANES ON WESTERN AVENUE BEYOND CITY LIMITS.
AND THEN ONCE YOU HIT CITY LIMITS, IT TRANSITIONS TO SEPARATED BIKE LANES.
UM, EVERYTHING SHOWING IN RED.
AGAIN, THOSE ARE INTENDED TO BE NEIGHBORHOOD BIKEWAYS.
SO, UH, STRETCH IS WHERE YOU DO NOT HAVE BIKE LANES, BUT WHERE OTHER TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES ARE PRESENT.
AND I JUST ACTUALLY, AND EVERY TIME I OPEN THIS MAP, I FIND SOMETHING NEW.
SO I'LL ACTUALLY MAKE SOME COMMENTS MYSELF AS WELL.
UM, FOR EXAMPLE, RIGHT HERE ON SUNNY SLOPE, WE HAVE BIKE LANES, SO THAT DOES NOT NEED TO BE, I'LL JUST HIGHLIGHT THAT WITH A CLOUD FOR MY TO REMIND MYSELF.
SO THOSE ARE ACTUALLY, THAT'S THE EXISTING BIKE LANES, WHICH ARE OBVIOUSLY MORE ROBUST THAN A NEIGHBORHOOD GREENWAY AND I, AGAIN, JUST CALL THINGS OUT.
I GUESS I'LL JUST KIND OF, I'LL KEEP GOING UNTIL SOMEONE STOPS ME.
I WAS GONNA ASK RN, DID, DID THOMPSON CREEK DISAPPEAR? IT'S THOMPSON CREEK CREEK TRAIL.
IT'S SHOWING IN THAT DASHED, UH, THAT DASHED WHITE OR THAT KIND OF SQUIGGLY WHITE LINE TO IMPLY A MORE OF A RECREATIONAL TRAIL.
BUT WOULD IT NOT DENOTE A, WOULDN'T WE HAVE A COLOR? BECAUSE IT IS A TRAIL? IT IS A PATH.
IT COULD PAVED AS A MATTER OF FACT, SHOULD PROBABLY BE A PAVED TRAIL.
WE COULD DO PAVED, PAVED TRAIL.
I DON'T THINK IT'S WIDE ENOUGH AS A MULTI-USE PATH CURRENTLY.
I'M GUESSING IT'S AT LEAST SIX FEET.
WHY? WHAT IS IT, BRUCE? YOU RIDE IT ALL THE TIME? UH, I WOULD SAY IT WOULD BE SIX, SIX TO EIGHT DEPENDING ON WHAT SECTION YOU'RE ON, PERHAPS.
WELL, HOW FAST I'M GONNA
SO THOMPSON, I'D LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING SO THAT WE COULD DESIGNATE IT.
I ADDED A NOTE TO CHANGE IT TO A PAVED TRAIL.
ANYONE ELSE? I I OVERRODE SOMEBODY I DON'T KNOW, BRIAN AND THEN WILLIAM ON WEBSTER AND FAIR.
DOES THAT MEAN WE'RE GONNA BE SLOWING SPEEDS ON THOSE STREETS TOO IF THEY'RE GONNA BECOME GREENWAYS? YES.
YEAH, SO TRAFFIC, ANYWHERE YOU SEE ONE OF THOSE RED LINES, UH, WITH THE BLACK OUTLINE, NEIGHBORHOOD GREENWAYS, THOSE ARE ENVISIONED AS ALSO HAVING ROBUST TRAFFIC CALMING IMPROVEMENTS TO GET THE DESIGN SPEED DOWN TO 20 MILES AN HOUR AND MAKE IT ACCEPTABLE FOR ALL AGES AND ABILITIES.
AND, UM, AND REALLY WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY BIKEWAY, WE WOULD BE LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE TO ALSO MAKE PEDESTRIAN AND TRAFFIC CALMING IMPROVEMENTS.
SO, UM, SO YES, PLEASE ASSUME THOSE ARE IMPLIED.
ALSO, WHEREVER YOU SEE A BIKEWAY CROSS, A MAJOR STREET, UM, ASSUME SOME DEGREE OF CROSSING IMPROVEMENT, BOTH FOR PEOPLE WALKING AND BIKING GENERALLY.
AND IF WE DON'T SEE A STREET ON HERE, BUT WE THINK IT YEAH.
MAYBE IS AN OVERSIGHT ABSOLUTELY.
THERE'S LIKE HUNDREDS OF HIGH SCHOOL KIDS THAT GO UP AND DOWN BASSETT STREET EVERY DAY, A COUPLE TIMES A DAY.
YEAH, THAT'S, AND SO BASSETT IS COMING RIGHT OFF FAIR TO LIKE A STREET TOWARDS THE CHURCH ON, YEAH, RIGHT.
YEAH, AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THAT'S A GOOD LITTLE, THERE'S A LITTLE GAP THERE IN THE NETWORK, SO THAT'S GREAT.
[00:45:01]
SO HAVE YOU NOTED THAT AND WE SHOULD MOVE ON? OR WOULD YOU LIKE US TO WAIT? UM, NO, SO I CAN, I CAN CONTINUE WITH KIND OF DESCRIBING THE IMPROVEMENTS, SO OH, MAYBE JUST ONE.OH YEAH, I THINK WILLIAM HAD A COMMENT THEN I, I CAN GO.
THIS APPLIES TO OTHER PLACES ON THE MAP.
I'LL TALK ABOUT, UM, JUST ANY GAPS WHERE IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN'T GET THROUGH.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE UP THERE IF THERE ARE HOUSES IN THE WAY OR SOMETHING, BUT, UH, YEAH, IT GOES OVER TO HA LANE THERE.
THAT SEEMS LIKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT.
UH, THERE'S A LOT OF, THERE ARE A LOT OF INFORMAL TRAILS UP THERE.
UM, SO I THINK WHAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE ARE THE PAVED TRAILS.
WE'RE NOT REALLY CAPTURING ALL OF THOSE SOCIAL, I'LL CALL THEM SOCIAL TRAILS.
UH, FOR EXAMPLE, I KNOW THERE'S ONE, THERE'S A COUPLE THAT KIND OF FOLLOW THE CREEK, UH, UP MM-HMM.
COULD SOME OF THOSE BE DENOTED WITH THE SQUIGGLY LINE? YEAH.
JUST TO, TO SHOW WHERE YOU CAN GET THROUGH.
AND THEN SIMILARLY GOING UP ENGLISH HILL, I KNOW WE ARE NOT GOING ON THE, THE PROPERTY WE HAD FOR YEARS, BUT THERE'S STILL A CITY EASEMENT THAT GOES UP THERE.
THAT IS A, YEAH, THAT'S A GREAT, GREAT POINT.
UH, AND THAT I THINK THERE IS A, YEAH, THERE IS A, SOME SORT OF LINE SHOWING MAYBE IN OUR PREVIOUS, IN THE GENERAL PLAN, I THINK FOR A ROADWAY CONNECTION.
SO YEAH, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IT SHOULD GO FROM LIKE WEBSTER OR DANA, RIGHT? YEAH.
AND THEN IT LINKS UP TO, I BELIEVE IT LINKS UP TO, UH, WEST HAVEN, RIGHT? YEAH.
I, YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE ADDING THINGS AND IF THIS IS REALLY A LONG, LONG-TERM PLAN THAT'S GOING TO MM-HMM.
UH, WHY WOULD WE HAVE GAPS? SHOULDN'T THEY ALL BE ACCESSIBLE? ARE WE JUST EXPECTING PEOPLE LONG TERM TO GO OVER A BLOCK IF THEY NEED TO GET SOMEWHERE? UM, SO ARE YOU, LET'S SEE.
SORRY, COULD YOU CLAR, ARE YOU JUST SAYING WHAT ANY, ANY, ANY WHITE LINE BASICALLY THAT EVERY STREET SHOULD BE
UM, YEAH, THAT'S, THAT'S A FAIR COMMENT THAT THAT'S, THAT'S ONE OF THE CHALLENGES HERE.
YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY IN AN AREA WHERE YOU HAVE THE GRID, IT'S A LOT EASIER IF I, I'LL JUST PAN OVER TO THE EAST SIDE, LIKE ON THE EAST SIDE, IT'S VERY EASY TO IDENTIFY THOSE, THOSE, UM, NEIGHBORHOOD GREENWAY ALIGNMENTS BECAUSE THERE ARE SO FEW STREETS THAT ACTUALLY HAVE ANY DEGREE OF CONNECTIVITY.
UH, YOU'VE GOT, YOU JUST DON'T HAVE A STREET, A, A GRID NETWORK OVER THERE ON THE WEST SIDE WHERE WE HAVE THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, THE REAL, THE, THE GOAL IS TO FIND THE ROUTES THAT THAT LOGICALLY CONNECT TO MAJOR DESTINATIONS, SCHOOLS, PARKS, UM, COMMERCIAL CORRIDORS, AND ALSO THAT PROVIDE, SO WE CAN REALLY TARGET IMPROVEMENTS TO MAJOR STREET CROSSINGS, UM, AND CREATE A NETWORK THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE TRYING TO DIRECT PEOPLE TO USE CERTAIN STREETS.
SO, SORRY, I'M JUST, I'M KIND OF
UM, AND IT IS, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S A DOCUMENT THAT, YOU KNOW, AS WE POINTED OUT EARLIER, CAN BE REVIEWED EVERY FIVE YEARS.
WHEN IT COMES TO LOOKING AT A, A GIVEN YEAR, IT WOULD MAKE SENSE TO PICK OUT JUST THE, THE HIGHEST PRIORITIES FOR THAT.
WELL, AND IDEALLY WE GET TO A POINT WHERE, YOU KNOW, EVERY, EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD REALLY EVERY STREET WE'VE, YOU KNOW, DAYLIGHTED THE CORNERS, WE'VE GOT BULL BOUTS, WE'VE GOT THOSE TRAFFIC CALMING IMPROVEMENTS IN PLACE SO THAT PEOPLE ARE COMFORTABLE WALKING, BIKING, UM, ON ANY GIVEN STREET, IS THERE, WERE THERE ANY SPECIFIC STREETS THAT REALLY ROSE TO THE TOP OF YOUR LIST THAT CONNECT KIND OF IN THIS AREA? OR, OR WAS IT JUST A GENERAL KIND OF GLOBAL COMMENT IF A STREET HAS ANY DEGREE OF CONNECTIVITY AT IT? YEAH, I MEAN, LOOK AT F STREET AND YOU CAN TAKE G STREET.
SO, YOU KNOW, TO GET TO MCNAIR PARK, YOU DON'T NEED TO HAVE BOTH NECESSARILY.
SO I THINK YOU COULD MAKE ARGUMENTS FOR AND AGAINST ANYONE AS A, AS A REAL THOROUGHFARE THAT'S, THAT'S NECESSARY.
[00:50:01]
YOU KNOW, THAT'S A REALLY GOOD, A GOOD EXAMPLE.SO G STREET WAS IDENTIFIED AS A BIKE ROUTE IN OUR PREVIOUS BIKE.
PED MA, IT'S ACTUALLY SIGNED AS A BIKE ROUTE RIGHT NOW.
UM, SO WHERE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO PICK, THOUGH, BETWEEN LIKE AN F STREET AND A G STREET, TWO STREETS THAT ARE DIRECTLY PARALLEL IS, YOU KNOW, WHERE THAT GIVES US THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY, ALL RIGHT, WE ARE GONNA TARGET ONE OF THEM TO HAVE REALLY ROBUST INTERSECTION CROSSING IMPROVEMENTS WHERE IT HITS THE BOULEVARD.
UM, IF THAT'S HELPFUL KIND OF TO YEAH.
THAT, THAT DECISION MAKING PROCESS.
UM, YEAH, I, I SEE YOU'RE NOT, BUT I GET YOUR, I MEAN GO AHEAD JUST BUT INTO THE CONVERSATION.
AM I CORRECT THAT G STREET IS MCNAIR PARK ON ONE SIDE AND MCNAIR ELEMENTARY? YES.
SO IT ACTUALLY HAS A DOUBLE USE IN THAT AREA.
YEAH, I WOULDN'T ADVOCATE F OVER G.
CERTAINLY IT'S ALSO A WIDER STREET THAN F AND THE ROSE CLUB.
THEY'RE PARALLEL, BUT THEY, BOTH OF 'EM HAVE ISSUES WITH, YOU KNOW, LONG STRETCHES, SPEEDING AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, IT FEELS LIKE BOTH OF 'EM COULD USE, I MEAN, SERIOUS TRAFFIC, CALMING, BUT MAYBE MM-HMM.
I THINK THIS, YOU'VE GOT BAKER IN THERE.
HAS SOME SERIOUS ISSUES WITH PEOPLE PULLING OFF OF BODEGA GOING FAST AND, AND WHATNOT.
YEAH, THEY TAKE THAT TURN FAST, REALLY FAST.
AND I THINK, YEAH, YOU'LL SEE THAT ONE HIGHLIGHTED WITH A CROSSWALK, PROPOSED CROSSWALK.
UM, BUT YEAH, POINT, POINT TAKEN ABOUT TRAFFIC, CALM TRAFFIC CALMING AND PET IMPROVEMENTS OVER THERE.
I GUESS MAYBE IT'S JUST A TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURE.
IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE A BIKE BAY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
IT JUST DEFINITELY NEEDS TO HAVE SOME, SOME SERIOUS
YEAH, I THINK I HAVE MAYBE JUST A MORE GLOBAL COMMENT FOR THE WEST SIDE.
UM, IT HAS TO KIND OF DO WITH THE, UH, DIAGONAL KIND OF ROUTES.
UM, WHEN I THINKING IN TERMS OF KIND OF WHAT'S SEPARATED AND WHAT'S PROTECTED, ALL OF THE ROUTES THAT ARE KIND OF GOING DIAGONALLY, UM, WHAT AM I TRYING TO SAY, FROM KIND OF NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST IN A SENSE.
ALMOST ALL OF THOSE ARE, UH, I THINK ALL OF THEM ARE NEIGHBORHOOD GREENWAYS.
AND SO WHEN I'M TRYING TO, TO KIND OF TAKE A STEP BACK AND THINK ABOUT WHERE IS THAT COMPLETE NETWORK OF SEPARATED PATHS OR SEPARATED BIKEWAYS OR PROTECTED BIKEWAYS, UM, THAT SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'D WANNA BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT FULL NETWORK WHERE YOU CAN SAY EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD IS AT LEAST WITHIN, YOU KNOW, SOME DISTANCE OF A SEPARATED PROTECTED, UM, BIKEWAY, AND I KNOW I'VE MENTIONED THIS BEFORE, BUT I STILL TAKE SOME ISSUE WITH THINKING ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD GREENWAYS, YOU KNOW, REALLY BEING A PLACE TO TAKE MY YOUNG KIDS TO, YOU KNOW, GO BIKING.
UM, SO FOR INSTANCE, LIKE FIFTH STREET IS ONE THAT COMES TO MIND WHERE YES, IT MAKES SENSE ABSOLUTELY TO HAVE IT A NEIGHBORHOOD GREENWAY, BUT IF THE SPACE PROVIDES THAT YOU CAN DO MORE WITH IT.
LET'S TAKE IT TO THE MAX AND DO IT.
LET'S NOT JUST DO WHAT, YOU KNOW, THE EASIEST ONE IS, SO THAT JUST COMPARED TO THE, THAT YOU WERE SAYING BEFORE, COMPARED TO THE EAST SIDE, I'M KIND OF JEALOUS OF THE EAST SIDE, JUST OF THE NETWORK THAT THEY HAVE, UM, COMPARED TO THE WEST SIDE.
IT JUST SEEMS LIKE, YES, THE STREETS ARE DIFFERENT, COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LAYOUT, BUT JUST THINKING ABOUT HOW CAN WE MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S, UM, YOU KNOW, THAT CONTINUOUS PROTECTED SEPARATED BIKEWAY NETWORK.
SO, UM, I DON'T HAVE ANY SPECIFIC SUGGESTIONS, UM, BUT IT JUST SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING WE COULD TAKE A LOOK AT, UM, EIGHTH, LIKE EIGHTH STREET, FAIR STREET TO 10TH STREET.
A LOT OF THOSE COULD BE MAYBE, IF POSSIBLE, POTENTIALLY UPGRADED.
[00:55:02]
OKAY.AN OPPORTUNITY TO, LIKE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS IS GONNA, SORRY, WHEN YOU, UH, SORT OF PICKING UP ON WHERE YOU LEFT OFF, UM, WITH HAVING, YOU KNOW, SORT OF A, YOU KNOW, ALMOST LIKE A, A BOULEVARD THAT YOU CAN GET TO, UM, DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW, LARGER SORT OF MAIN THOROUGHFARES WITH SUNNY SLOPE, YOU KNOW, JUST, I'M JUST, I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE MAP HERE WITH SUNNY SLOPE GOING INTO ELROSE DOWN THE WEBSTER, LIKE ONCE YOU GET OVER TO WESTERN, YOU PICK UP A, YOU KNOW, PROTECT.
SO ON SUNNY SLOPE YOU HAVE A PROTECTED BIKE LANE ON I STREET, YOU HAVE A PROTECTED BIKE LANE.
THEN OVER ON WESTERN AND NORTH WEBSTER YOU HAVE A PROTECTED BIKE LANE.
IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT THAT WITH WEBSTER AND ELROSE? I HAVEN'T RIDDEN THAT A BUNCH, SO MAYBE THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, BUT I'M JUST TRYING TO PICTURE A WAY TO, YOU KNOW, GIVE YOU A GOOD, UM, YOU KNOW, A GOOD WAY TO GO FROM REALLY, I GUESS WHAT WOULD THAT BE? THE SOUTH THE SOUTHERN NEIGHBORHOODS OVER TO MM-HMM.
THAT'S, THAT'S A TRICKY ONE BECAUSE THE, THE WHOLE STREET GRID KIND OF CHANGES, UM, AND IT, IT SORT OF BREAKS UP IN, IN THIS AREA.
UM, WHAT WOULD THOUGH, I THINK JUST KIND OF WITH SIGNAGE DIRECTION YEAH.
LIKE A STREET, YOU KNOW, GO LEFT ON B STREET, THEN UP SPRING STREET FOR INSTANCE, THAT COULD BE A ROUTE THAT, YOU KNOW, IS A MORE PROTECTED MIDDLE LEVEL OF THE WEST SIDE KIND OF ROUTE OR SOMETHING.
I DON'T KNOW IF THIS, IF THE SPACE ALLOWS FOR THAT, BUT, UM, THAT WOULD BE KIND OF, FOR INSTANCE, A CENTRAL ROUTE THAT YES, IT, IT'S NOT A PERFECT GRID, BUT GIVEN EFFECTIVE SIGNAGE AND PROTECTION FOR TURNING MOVEMENTS AND SO FORTH, UM, YOU CAN START TO YEAH, CREATE THAT MORE STRONGER PROTECTED AND SEPARATE GRID.
ALSO, WE, IF YOU'RE USING LAUREL, IT CAN TAKE YOU OVER TO B STREET, WHICH IS A GREAT BIKE STREET.
SORRY, ADAM, WHAT DID YOU, WHAT STREET DID YOU SPECIFY? UH, YEAH, I WAS LOOKING AT KIND OF THE EIGHTH STREET TO SPRING STREET.
YOU KNOW, THAT CORRIDOR IS VERY CENTRAL, POTENTIALLY EVEN OLIVE.
UM, AND THEN I THINK FIFTH STREET WAS THE OTHER ONE.
IF THERE'S, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S SPACE TO ADD A SEPARATE BIKEWAY, A CLASS FOUR, YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT WOULD BE MAYBE EVEN MORE EFFECTIVE AT GETTING PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR CARS AND KNOWING THAT THEY HAVE A SAFE PROTECTED SPACE TO TRAVEL.
AND WHICH ONE ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, ADAM? UH, FIFTH.
IT'S KIND OF BETWEEN MOUNTAIN VIEW AND YEAH.
BUT, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE, WHICH THE GLOBAL COMMENT IS BASICALLY IF SPACE PERMITS GO BEYOND SHARED, UH, NEIGHBORHOOD GREENWAY TYPE SHARED TYPE, UH, FACILITY AND TRY TO PURSUE SOMETHING MORE PROTECTED OR SEPARATED.
UH, THAT, I THINK THAT'S PART OF IT.
AND YEAH, THINKING ABOUT MAYBE SOME IMPROVEMENTS.
I KNOW WE'VE LOOKED AT THIS, BUT YEAH, IF, YEAH.
IT'S THE, IT'S THE CHALLENGE BETWEEN ON-STREET PARKING AND YEAH, EXACTLY.
SO, UM, SO, AND, AND A KEY POINT HERE TOO IS THAT THESE ARE, THIS IS HIGH LEVEL GUIDANCE, YOU KNOW, EVERY, UH, EVERY PROJECT IS OBVIOUSLY SUBJECT TO ITS OWN KIND OF DESIGN, COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, UM, IN SOME CASES COUNCIL APPROVALS.
UH, SO IT WILL, WE, WE, WE'LL TRY TO START WITH OBVIOUSLY THE ALL AGES AND ABILITIES FACILITY AND THEN, UM, AND, AND AT LEAST THAT'S THE STARTING POINT, BUT, UM, THERE DIFFERENT FACILITIES MAY BE IMPLEMENTED DEPENDING ON THE FEASIBILITY OF WHAT WE'RE ACTUALLY OUT.
I MEAN, WE'RE NOT DOING IN-DEPTH DESIGN FOR ANY OF THESE IS A VERY HIGH LEVEL, UH, EXERCISE.
BUT, SO LIKE A GOOD EXAMPLE, SUNNY SLOPE WE'RE SHOWING, I THINK SUNNY SLOPE IS PROBABLY LOWER, LOWER TRAFFIC AND, AND COULD BE LOWER SPEED.
UM, WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA BE STRIPING BIKE LANES OUT THERE TOMORROW.
THIS IS SHOWING CLASS FOUR AGAIN, THAT WAS KIND OF THAT HIGH LEVEL.
I I WOULD ACTUALLY SAY SUNNY SLOPE, PROBABLY A CLASS TWO
[01:00:01]
OR CLASS TWO B WOULD BE CLOSE TO HITTING THAT ALL AGES AND ABILITIES CRITERIA IN THAT TABLE BASED ON THE, THE TRAFFIC VOLUME.UM, ALSO DO, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW WE WOULD FIT A CLASS FOUR ON SUNNY SLOPE WITH A SIMPLE STRIPING PROJECT.
SO THERE MAY BE CASES WHERE LIKE A QUICK BUILD CAN GIVE US A CLASS TWO, BUT IF WE WERE TO COME BACK AND REPAVE IT AND LOOK AT MOVING CURB LINES, LIKE WILLIAM WAS SAYING, THEN WE CAN UPGRADE TO A CLASS FOUR IF THAT, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.
YEAH, NO, I THINK THAT MAKES SENSE.
LIKE THIS SHOULD BE MAYBE THE DOCUMENT TO ESTABLISH THOSE ROUTES.
AND I KNOW MARIA DRIVE IS ANOTHER ONE THAT WHEN WE GET TO THAT, IT'S KIND OF, IT'S FRACTURED.
WE DID OUR BEST, YOU KNOW, FOR RIGHT NOW, BUT IN THE FUTURE YEAH.
WHAT IF WE CAN MAKE THAT A COMPLETE SEPARATE BIKE? YEAH, EXACTLY.
THIS IS THE PLACE TO SET THE REALLY THE LONG TERM VISION, THE UNCONSTRAINED VISION, AND THEN, UM, AND, AND TRY TO HIT THAT AS CLOSELY AS WE CAN AS AS WE GO THROUGH THIS.
UM, IS THERE, IS THERE A WAY TO FOOTNOTE SOME OF THE AREAS WHERE YARN WHERE, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S BEEN PRESENTED ON HERE AS ASPIRATIONAL, BUT MM-HMM.
IT, IT, IT MAY NOT BE, UH, YOU KNOW, UM, FE FEI, THE FEASIBILITY MAY BE A CHALLENGE.
UM, I'M SUGGESTING, NOT SUGGESTING THAT WE GO THROUGH AND FOOTNOTE THEM ALL TONIGHT.
YEAH, WELL, YEAH, I MEAN, I CAN TELL YOU LIKE WESTERN, YOU KNOW, WE JUST, SO WE JUST PAVED THAT LITTLE SECTION OF WESTERN NEAR CITY LIMITS, SO WE KIND OF GOT A SENSE OF WHAT THE ROADWAY WIDTH LOOKS LIKE, WHAT WE CAN DO WITH 10 OR 10 AND A HALF FOOT LANES OUT THERE.
IF, AND IF REALLY IF YOU'RE RETAINING THE ON STREET PARKING ON WESTERN, THE BEST YOU CAN DO IS CLASS TWO.
UM, ANYTHING MORE ROBUST THAN THAN CLASS TWO WOULD WOULD REQUIRE PARKING REMOVAL OR YEAH.
ANYTHING MORE ROBUST WOULD REQUIRE PARKING REMOVAL.
SO, UM, BASED ON THE SPEED AND THE VOLUME, OBVIOUSLY ALL AGES AND ABILITIES DESIGN WOULD SAY CLASS FOUR IS THE, IS THE PREFERENCE.
UM, BUT YOU KNOW, THAT THAT WOULD BE A, THAT WOULD BE A PRETTY, UH, I THINK CHALLENGING PROPOSITION FOR A LOT OF FOLKS, UH, BASED ON THE PARKING UTILIZATION I SEE OUT THERE.
UM, SO ANY OTHER COMMENTS? ARE WE TALKING ABOUT KEOKUK? KEOKUK IS IN HERE, UH, FROM MAGNOLIA TO PROSPECT? MM-HMM.
WELL, IT, I THINK IF, IF A BIKEWAY IS IMPLEMENTED ON WASHINGTON STREET, THEN IT MAKES SENSE TO IMPLEMENT SOMETHING ON THAT BLOCK OF KEOKUK.
BUT, UM, BASED ON KIND OF THE CURRENT NETWORK, UH, THAT'S, THIS IS THE STRETCH WE'RE SHOWING.
SO WE'VE GOT THE UPHILL CLASS TWO, DOWNHILL CLASS THREE FROM MAGNOLIA TO WHERE IT CRESTS BETWEEN WEST AND GALLAND, AND THEN WE HAVE THE SAME FROM PROSPECT TO OAK.
AND THEN THIS IS KIND OF THE SECTION WHERE IT FLATTENS OUT, UM, WHERE WE'RE SHOWING THE NEIGHBORHOOD GREENWAY TREATMENT.
THAT MIGHT BE A STREET THAT IS, HAVE TO GO TAKE A LOOK, BUT IT COULD BE WIDE ENOUGH THAT WITHOUT PARKING REMOVAL YOU CAN, YOU CAN GET A BIKE LANE IN ONE OR BOTH DIRECTIONS.
I JUST, I JUST FEEL LIKE THE NOT INCLUDING THAT LAST BLOCK FROM PROSPECT DOWN TO WASHINGTON OKAY.
IS LIKE, JUST NOT LIKE THERE'S, THERE'S A LOGICAL THING THAT, YOU KNOW, IF SOMEONE'S RIDING DOWN KEOKUK STREET AND THEN THEY'RE GONNA TAKE A, LIKE A RIGHT.
JUST TO TAKE A LEFT, LIKE FROM A CONVENIENCE FACTOR, I JUST THINK, AT LEAST FOR ME, I WOULD ALMOST ALWAYS GO THAT WAY.
AND AGAIN, YOU KNOW, THE THINKING THERE IS IF, OKAY, IF YOU'RE FOLLOWING OUR NETWORK, LET'S SAY YOU'RE BIKING FROM MAGNOLIA, UM, YOU HIT THAT DECISION POINT AT PROSPECT AND NOW YOU'RE GOING TO GO OVER TO AN INTERSECTION THAT IS DESIGNED FOR YOU TO CROSS, UM, WITH THE SIGNAL AT HOWARD STREET OR, OR MAYBE YOU'RE GOING, YOU CUT OVER AND BECAUSE WE'VE GOT A NEIGHBORHOOD GREENWAY ON THE FIFTH STREET NEIGHBORHOOD, GREENWAY, IT TURNS INTO KELLER STREET.
SO WE'VE IMPLEMENTED A NICE CROSSING IMPROVEMENT, BIKEWAY CROSSING IMPROVEMENT HERE ACROSS WASHINGTON.
WE'D RATHER HAVE YOU USING THAT EITHER THE SIGNAL AT HOWARD OR THE UPGRADED CROSSING AT KELLER, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.
AS OPPOSED LIKE, SO THERE'S, AGAIN, KIND OF GOING BACK TO THAT POINT OF PICKING ONE STREET OVER ANOTHER.
THAT'S THE INTENTION IS, IS MORE AROUND SENDING
[01:05:01]
PEOPLE TO THE INTERSECTIONS AND THE CROSSINGS THAT WE WANT THEM TO USE.ARE ALL THE CLASS THREE AND CLASS THREE B INTENDED TO BE 20 MILE AN HOUR THEN? YES.
SO IF YOU'RE SEEING ANY THAT LOOK JUMP OUT THAT THEY WOULDN'T BE A 20 MILE AN HOUR DESIGN SPEED, PLEASE FLAG THOSE.
AND I DO SEE WE HAVE A CLASS THREE ON WATER STREET ALSO.
THAT MIGHT BE ONE OF THE ONES THAT SNUCK THROUGH, BUT I'M NOT SURE IF THERE'S AN ALTERNATIVE.
YEAH, THAT WAS PART OF THE TRESTLES, THE TRESTLES
I MEAN, THAT'S WHY WE HAD A ROUTE THROUGH THERE.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS? WHICH DIRECTION SHOULD I GO? WE DIDN'T REALLY COVER THE CHERRY VALLEY AREA, BUT WE ALSO HAVEN'T GOTTEN DOWN HERE TO THE SOUTH, UH, TO THE, UH, GRANT, THE MCNAIR CORY HEIGHTS AREA.
I'LL, I'LL JUST SENSOR UP HERE IN THE OAK HILL NEIGHBORHOOD.
I'LL I'LL GO TO THE CHERRY VALLEY NEIGHBORHOOD, WHICH IS CHALLENGING, OBVIOUSLY DUE TO THE HOLINESS OF THAT AREA.
BUT, UM, AND I THINK, I THINK I, SORRY, ADAM, WE SHOULD DEFINITELY TURN ON OTHER, THE, THE REMAINDER OF THE STREET NETWORK.
I KNOW IN THE LAST MINUTE REPRINT THERE WERE SOME THINGS MISSED.
I, UM, I, I NOTICED ANOTHER ONE THAT WOULD CONNECT KIND OF EL UM, ELM WITH CHERRY VALLEY AND ST.
IT'S, I'M FORGETTING THE STREET NAME, BUT I'LL, I'LL KNOW IT IF I GO IN AND LOOK AT THAT.
I'M LOOKING AT THE OLDER VERSION WHERE THEY'RE LABELED.
AND MAGNOLIA'S CHALLENGING, OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, CONSTRAINED RIGHT OF WAY WITH, UM, SO THAT'S, WE'VE GOT A CORRIDOR STUDY RECOMMENDED.
YOU KNOW, YOU REALLY NEED SOMETHING MORE ROBUST OBVIOUSLY THAN CLASS TWO OR CLASS THREE, OR YOU NEED SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC CALMING.
I, I THINK THE GOAL IS TO GET SOMETHING SEPARATED, AT LEAST FROM KEOKUK TO OUT TOWARDS CITY LIMITS.
UM, WHEN YOU HAVE CONSTRAINED WIDTH ON A STREET LIKE THAT AND YOU'RE TRYING TO ACCOMMODATE BOTH BIKES AND PEDS, SOMETIMES IT MAKES SENSE TO JUST BUILD A, A CLASS ONE ALONG ONE SIDE OF THE STREET THAT ACCOMMODATES EVERYONE.
SO THAT MIGHT BE WHAT WE HAVE TO DO HERE.
UM, I'LL ACTUALLY FLAG THAT WITH A NOTE THAT THIS COULD BE, I'LL JUST SAY LOOK AT CLASS ONE.
UH, ANYTHING IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA.
WE'VE GOT A CHERRY VALLEY PARENT HERE.
THERE I TAKE THE KIDS ON THE SIDEWALK.
AGAINST TRAFFIC THERE TO SCHOOL.
UM, THAT WOULD BE LIKE MAJOR TO HAVE THAT.
AND THEN MAYBE THAT COULD ALSO, I KNOW THERE'S A STUDY AND EVERYTHING FOR LIKE, PARENT TO HAVE.
YEAH, THIS IS A, A BAD GAP TOO HERE.
UM, I'M JUST GONNA ACTUALLY, BUT MAYBE SOMETHING LIKE, YOU KNOW, IN SAN RAFAEL DOWNTOWN ON GRAND STREET, WHERE YOU HAVE BIKING IN BOTH DIRECTIONS ON ONE SIDE OF THE ROAD.
WHATEVER YOU CALL THIS, BUT MAYBE THERE'S ROOM FOR THAT AND THAT WOULD YEAH.
WOULD MAKE IT, AND THIS SECTION, YOU KNOW, WE'LL HAVE TO BUILD SIDEWALKS ANYWAYS, SO MAYBE IT'S NOT MUCH MORE TO JUST ADD ANOTHER FIVE FEET TO THAT SIDEWALK AND NOW YOU'VE GOT A MULTI-USE PATHWAY OR MOVE THE, SHIFT THE LANES OVER AND YOU'VE GOT A SIDEWALK NEXT TO A TWO-WAY CYCLE TRACK.
A WELL-KNOWN, UH, WELL-KNOWN AREA IN NEED OF SOME IMPROVEMENTS.
THAT AREA, THAT AREA ALSO IS A VERY MISERABLE WALKING AREA.
THAT'S, THAT'S APPARENT BASED ON THE WELL WORN DIRT WALKWAY ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.
SO IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA, YOU KNOW, PRETTY ROBUST NETWORK, UH, WESTERN, REALLY FEEDING IN, UM, B STREET, D STREET, PROVIDING THOSE CONNECTIONS INTO THE DOWNTOWN AREA.
AND THEN, UM, YOU KNOW, CHALLENGING ON PELLAND BOULEVARD NORTH, NORTH AND SOUTH.
[01:10:01]
UM, UH, KIND OF TRICKY WITH CONSTRAINED ROADWAY WIDTH AND LOTS OF OTHER, YOU KNOW, PRESSURE, CURBSIDE PRESSURE BETWEEN PARKING, LOADING.SO I, I ULTIMATELY THINK THAT'LL, THAT'LL, THAT'S ONE OF THOSE THAT PROBABLY SHOULD ALSO BE LABELED AS A, AS A CORRIDOR STUDY OR SOME, IT'LL BE A LARGER DISCUSSION, OBVIOUSLY, WITH ALL OF THE DOWNTOWN STAKEHOLDERS AND FIGURING OUT WHAT, WHAT WE CAN DO THERE.
UM, BUT YOU KNOW, THE, THE REAL, THE REAL LONG-TERM VISION, OBVIOUSLY IS TO HAVE A CONTINUOUS RIVER TRAIL ON BOTH SIDES OF THE RIVER.
AND, UM, AND THEN IT ALSO IN THE INTERIM, YOU KNOW, WHAT I CURRENTLY DO A LOT IS, AND, AND IT'S SHOWN HERE, AND I THINK A LOT OF US DO THIS, IS WHEN YOU COME OVER D STREET, YOU POP OFF ONTO FIRST YOU TAKE THAT, UH, LEFT ONTO C RIGHT ONTO SECOND, LEFT ONTO B.
IT'S KIND OF A, A WIGGLE THE, IT'S THE MOST CLOSELY THAT YOU CAN FOLLOW THAT, THAT RIVER ALIGNMENT AND GET AROUND, UM, THE BOULEVARD AND, AND D STREET IN THAT AREA.
MOVING DOWN TO THE KIND OF SOUTHEAST PART OF TOWN, UM, SOUTHWEST, BECAUSE IT'S THE WEST SIDE, BUT ACTUALLY SOUTHEAST, IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT A COMPASS, UM, WE'VE GOT A CORRIDOR STUDY ON MOUNTAIN VIEW.
THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF REQUESTS THERE FOR TRAFFIC CALMING OBVIOUSLY, BUT AGAIN, FAIRLY BUSY STREET LIMITED RIGHT OF WAY.
WHAT CAN YOU DO THERE? UM, YOU KNOW, AT THE VERY LEAST, TRAFFIC CALMING, UH, I STREET IS ACTUALLY FALLS UNDER, I'D SAY A, A SIMILAR CATEGORY.
MIGHT WANT TO, WE MIGHT WANT TO, I'LL HAVE TO LOOK AT THE WIDTH THERE.
IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT WIDER, BUT WE'RE SHOWING THAT WITH CLASS FOUR.
UM, LET'S SEE, WHAT ELSE JUMPS OUT HERE AS YOU GO DOWN I STREET, WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT TRYING TO GET A MULTI-USE PATHWAY IN ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET ON THAT REALLY NARROW SECTION BETWEEN SUNNY SLOPE AND GRANT, AT LEAST TO START.
AND THEN POSSIBLY EXTENDING THAT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE, UM, THE OTHER SUNNY SLOPE WHERE YOU'VE GOT LIMITED RIGHT OF WAY.
SO LIKE I WAS DESCRIBING ON MAGNOLIA, IF YOU COMBINE, USE ALL THAT WIDTH ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET, YOU GOT SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE.
UH, AND YEAH, I DON'T KNOW IF ANYTHING ELSE JUMPS OUT DOWN HERE.
LOOKS LIKE THE COUNTY IS PROPOSING A CLASS ONE ON THEIR STRETCH OF PETA BOULEVARD SOUTH, WHICH IS REALLY GREAT TO SEE.
AND I THINK WE CAN PROBABLY MATCH THAT.
WE'VE GOT CLASS FOUR, BUT IT COULD BE A FOUR OR A ONE.
UM, WIDTH IS DEFINITELY NOT A CONSTRAINT OUT IN THAT AREA.
ANOTHER THING I NOTICED THAT THE COUNTY ADDED, IF YOU SCROLL DOWN JUST A LITTLE BIT, WAS THAT, UM, WHAT IS THAT ON PERRINGTON? THEY'VE HAD IT EXTENDED OH, GOOD.
UM, YEAH, WHICH I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT.
IF WE WANT TO ADD MOUNTAIN VIEW ONTO THAT, THAT COULD MAKE A, A NICE LOOP.
I WONDER IF THAT MEANS THAT THEY'LL PAVE PERRINGTON.
UH, WE'VE GOT THE RIVER PARK AND HIDDEN UNDERNEATH THIS SQUIGGLY LINE IS A PAVED MULTI-USE TRAIL.
SO THE IDEA IS, YOU KNOW, THIS IS KIND OF THE RIVER TRAIL THROUGH THIS SECTION.
YOU COME INTO THE PARK, YOU GO OVER A BIKE PED BRIDGE ACROSS THE CHANNEL, AND THEN YOU CONTINUE ALONG YOUR WAY.
OVER HERE, WE ARE SHOWING BOTH THE PATHWAY UNDERNEATH 1 0 1 AND THE SMART TRACKS, AS WELL AS SOMETHING UP HERE FROM CALL FIELD, UM, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRACKS CONNECTING OVER TO THE MARINA.
SO, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE ON HOPPER STREET OR ON THE LAKEVILLE CORRIDOR, THAT'S YOUR MOST DIRECT ROUTE UNDER THE FREEWAY.
IF YOU ARE FOLLOWING THE RIVER, YOU'VE ALSO GOT THAT OPTION.
I KNOW THAT'S BEEN SOMETHING THAT OUR COMMITTEE HAS DISCUSSED AT LENGTH IN THE PAST.
UM, AND THEN IF YOU WERE TO CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE RIVER TRAIL COMING OVER HERE, UM, UH, AND THEN TYING IN TO GETTING AROUND ALMOND MARSH, WHICH HAS OBVIOUSLY SOME CONSTRAINTS.
UM, YOU KNOW, WE'RE SHOWING THAT AS A RECREATIONAL TRAIL, BUT THE, THE IDEA IS TO HOPEFULLY BUILD A MORE DIRECT, UM, MULTI-USE PATHWAY THAT'S, THAT THAT'S MORE ACCOMMODATING TO HIGHER SPEED, UH, CYCLISTS THAT THEN TIES INTO SCHOENBERGER AND, AND GETS YOU ALL THE WAY OUT TO THE, TO THE FAR, UM, THAT FAR END OF TOWN.
CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THAT CROSSING, UH, AT OLD ADOBE IN LAKEVILLE? YEAH.
[01:15:01]
A PEDESTRIAN HYBRID BEACON, WHICH WOULD BASICALLY, IT'S A HYBRID BEACON IS A SIGNAL THAT IS ACTIVATED BY A PEDESTRIAN.SO IT'S DIFFERENT FROM A FLASHING BEACON WHERE YOU PRESS IT, LIGHTS FLASH.
UM, A HYBRID BEACON IS BASICALLY A TRAFFIC SIGNAL THAT IS IN DARK MODE, UH, UNTIL A PEDESTRIAN TRIGGERS IT, IT GOES THROUGH A SEQUENCE OF FLASHING YELLOW LIGHTS THAT ALERT DRIVERS THAT, THEN A RED LIGHT WILL APPEAR NEXT, THEN IT GOES RED.
UM, IT COULD, IT MIGHT BE FLASHING RED AND THEN RED OR FLASHING YELLOW AND THEN RED.
UM, AND THEN AT THAT POINT THE CROSSING PHASE IS ACTIVATED ONCE DIRECT ALL DIRECTIONS, BOTH DIRECTIONS OF TRAFFIC HAVE STOPPED.
UM, SO THAT'S WHAT'S RECOMMENDED ON REALLY, REALLY BUSY ROADWAY CROSSINGS LIKE LAKEVILLE HIGHWAY.
I DON'T THINK WE WOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH ANYTHING LESS THAN THAT.
ULTIMATELY, IT WILL BE A, CALTRANS WOULD HAVE TO APPROVE IT.
THE ONLY OTHER IDEA WOULD BE TO BUILD SOMETHING UNDERNEATH LAKEVILLE.
UM, BUT NOT SURE THERE'S ENOUGH ROOM THERE.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT.
YEAH, THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD SIZED CULVERT UNDER THERE.
SO IS THAT WHERE THIS NEWFANGLED STOPLIGHT WOULD BE LOCATED, IN OTHER WORDS YEAH.
AT THE END OF THE ADOBE TRAIL FOR THE, FOR THE TRAIL CROSSING? YES, EXACTLY.
UH, WE ALSO ADDED A NEW, SO THERE'S THE KIND OF EXTENSION OF THE UGB TRAIL OUT.
UM, THE SOUTHGATE NEIGHBORHOOD BUILT A SECTION AND THEN WE ADDED A PROPOSED FACILITY ALONG THE SIDE OF LAKEVILLE.
SO, UM, CALTRANS ENVISIONS EITHER INSTALLING A ROUNDABOUT OR SIGNAL AT THE PINE VIEW INTERSECTION, SO THAT TRAIL WOULD THEN GO DOWN THERE AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT TO GET ACROSS.
SO A COUPLE OF NEW LAKEVILLE CROSSING OPTIONS.
UH, THIS IS A COOL NEIGHBORHOOD GREENWAY THAT ACTUALLY, UM, IT WAS NEAT.
WE WERE LOOKING AT THE STRAVA METRO HEAT MAP, WHICH SHOWS BASICALLY TELLS US WHERE PEOPLE ARE ALREADY, UH, BIKING.
AND THIS, UH, THIS ROUTE IS, WAS DEFINITELY REINFORCED BY THAT KIND OF THE ONLY WAY TO COBBLE TOGETHER NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS TO GET AROUND TO NOT HAVE TO USE LAKEVILLE.
UM, SO AGAIN, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WE WANT TO IMPROVE SAFETY ON LAKEVILLE, BUT WE ALSO WANT TO PROVIDE THOSE PARALLEL CONNECTIONS THAT PROVIDE MORE, UH, LOWER STRESS, UH, ENVIRONMENT AND ALSO PROVIDE BETTER, UM, OR MORE DIRECT CONNECTIVITY FOR THE ACTUAL NEIGHBORHOODS THEMSELVES.
AND THEN AS WE KIND OF GET INTO THE EAST SIDE, YOU'VE GOT THE ADOBE CREEK TRAIL.
UM, AND IDEALLY, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A SEAMLESS EXPERIENCE WHERE AS SOON AS YOU REACH THE END OF THE TRAIL, YOU POP OUT ONTO ELI, YOU HAVE A GOOD EASY CONNECTION TO CONTINUE ON CASA GRANDE.
AND, AND, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE COMMENTS THAT WE SAW QUITE A BIT WAS TO, TO CONNECT THAT ALL THE WAY OUT TO THE, UM, ADOBE STATE HISTORIC PARK.
AND ULTIMATELY I THINK THAT COULD BE A POTENTIAL RIDGE TRAIL EXTENSION OUT THAT WAY.
UH, OTHERWISE ON THE EAST SIDE IT'S, IT'S OH, ONE MOMENT.
SO, UH, ONE COMMENT THERE ON WHERE, WHERE THE, UH, EASTERN TRAIL COMES OUT TO CASA MM-HMM.
YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE YOU HAVE TO, YOU HAVE TO LIKE, UH, YES.
THERE'S NO, THERE'S NO WAY TO MAKE THAT CONNECTION.
THERE'S NO CONNECTION TRAIL AND THE, AND SO YEAH.
SO IF THERE'S A WAY TO IMPROVE THAT, UM, YEP, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
I THINK THE SAME MIGHT BE THE CASE.
AND, AND AGAIN, THAT'S THE INTENTION.
WHEREVER YOU SEE BIKEWAYS INTERSECTING, THAT'S A, THAT'S A NEED FOR SOME SORT OF IMPROVEMENT.
GARFIELD'S ACTUALLY NOT TOO BAD.
I MEAN, YOU CAN, YOU CAN JUST MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN ON THE, ON THE GARFIELD.
UM, I TAKE A BLOCK SOUTH OF IT, GO DOWN AND GO DOWN LIKE TWO BLOCKS AND CUT UP.
UM, BJORN, I DON'T KNOW WHETHER WE WANT TO, THERE'S A, A BRIDGE THAT'S BEING LOOKED AT IN THE FINAL EIR OF THE YEAH, I'M FAMILIAR.
THAT PROJECT MIGHT BE WORTH JUST AT LEAST NOTING THAT IT, IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE IN THERE.
I THINK IT MAY BE WORTH SOMETHING THAT, UH, YEAH, THIS BODY WANTS TO LOOK AT AND, AND WEIGH IN ON TOO.
UH, I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE KIND OF INFORMALLY USING THE ADOBE CREEK GOLF COURSE PATHWAY NETWORK.
UM, I'LL, I'LL, I'LL ADMIT IT WASN'T REALLY SURE HOW TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT OR INCORPORATE THAT, GIVEN THAT IT IS PRIVATE PROPERTY, BUT I'M AWARE THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE
[01:20:01]
ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF.UM, CAN, UH, YOU WENT PAST WHERE ADOBE CREEK TRAIL HITS ELI, IT TRANSITIONS FROM CLASS ONE TO, IS THAT CLASS FOUR, I THINK? MM-HMM.
IS THERE ANY WAY THAT COULD JUST BE SEAMLESS WITH THE SAME CLASS ONE ALL THE WAY? YEAH, I THINK SO.
I MEAN, ELI IS SUPER WIDE, NOT A TON OF TRAFFIC DOWN THERE.
AND I THINK, YEAH, SO THAT'S A CASE WHERE I THINK MAYBE ON ONE SIDE YOU WOULD HAVE, UH, TWO, TWO-WAY TRAIL, AND ON THE OTHER SIDE YOU'D HAVE A DIRECTIONAL CLASS FOUR FOR ANYONE WHO'S NOT COMING FROM THE TRAIL.
THAT'S REALLY WHAT IT MEANS WHEN YOU DESCRIBES A SEAMLESS NETWORK.
THE GAPS REALLY STAND OUT HERE.
SO REALLY THE APPROACH ON THE EAST SIDE, IT, IT'S A LOT.
I DON'T, THE, YOU HAVE MAJOR ARTERIALS WHERE WE HAVE A LOT OF EXCESS ROADWAY WIDTH.
UM, YOU KNOW, WHERE OUR, OUR TRAFFIC VOLUME DOES NOT REQUIRE THE NUMBER OF LANES THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE.
SO THAT CREATES A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES, OBVIOUSLY FOR PROTECTED BIKE LANES.
I'D SAY MOST OF THE ARTERIALS ON THE EAST SIDE MEET THAT CRITERIA.
UM, SO YOU'LL SEE ALL THOSE IN PURPLE.
AND THEN YOU'VE GOT A NETWORK OF NEIGHBORHOOD GREENWAYS, UM, KIND OF FILLING IN THE, THE, THE NETWORK IN BETWEEN THOSE, ALL OF THOSE MAJOR ARTERIALS.
SO KIND OF DESCRIBE IT AS LIKE, YOU'VE GOT A BIG GRID OF ARTERIALS AND THEN YOU'VE GOT A MORE GRANULAR NETWORK OF, OF NEIGHBORHOOD GREEN WASTE.
UM, BUT ALL, ALMOST ALL OF THESE ARE NEW, UM, COMPARED TO OUR LAST BIKE, OUR LAST BIKE PED PLAN DIDN'T REALLY ENVISION ALL OF THESE ROUTES, UH, THROUGH THE EAST SIDE.
I DO THINK WE REALLY, DOES ANYONE KNOW WE RELEASE, GOT SOME CLASS TWOS ON IT, I'M GONNA HIGHLIGHT WE RELEASE.
I THINK THAT MIGHT NEED TO BE, MIGHT NEED TO CHANGE.
FRANCIS BEING ANOTHER GREENWAY.
YEAH, THAT'S A GREAT, THAT'S A, A NO BRAINER.
UM, AND IT'S COMING UP FOR A PAVING PROJECT IN 2026, SO THAT'LL BE A, A GOOD OPPORTUNITY.
AND SOME OF THESE MAY MEET THAT CRITERIA ADAM WAS DESCRIBING WHERE THEY'RE A LITTLE WIDER AND WE CAN DO MORE THAN GREEN WASTE.
YEAH, I'D LOVE TO SEE THE, UH, EASTERN TRAIL ENHANCED AND MAYBE WIDENED.
I MEAN, IT'S USED A LOT AND UM, IT, UH, IF YOU'RE ON A BIKE, YOU HAVE TO BE PRETTY CAREFUL.
UM, WELL, I MEAN, WE SHOULD ALWAYS BE CAREFUL, BUT, UH, IT, IT, IT DEFINITELY FEELS LIKE, UH, YOU KNOW, OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS THAT COULD BENEFIT FROM, UM, WIDENING AND YEAH, WE WOULD DEFINITELY GET TO USE, AND THAT'S A COMMENT I THINK YOU'D PROBABLY SAY THROUGHOUT.
RIGHT? I KNOW SOME SECTIONS ARE WORSE THAN OTHERS, BUT PRETTY MUCH A GLOBAL COMMENT THAT ON THAT TRAIL IN PARTICULAR, WE SHOULD BE WIDENING OUT TO TRUE MULTIUSE STANDARD.
UM, LIKE WE'VE BEEN DOING KIND OF ON, ON LYNCH CREEK.
I'LL, I'LL, I'LL ADD A COMMENT TO THAT AND JUST, UM, IT'S A VERY POPULAR TRAIL, MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE, DOGS, STROLLERS, GRANDPARENTS EVERY DAY.
UH, AND YOU KNOW, THAT TRAIL DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE A
SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE CALLS IT SOMETHING DIFFERENT,
SO, UH, UH, WE MIGHT WANT TO HAVE ANOTHER, A NAMING COMPETITION THERE AS WELL, OR FIND SOMETHING TO NAME IT AFTER MAYBE MOUNTAIN VISTA TRAIL.
SNOWMAN MOUNTAIN TRAIL, I DON'T KNOW.
YEAH, I SEE ADD, WE'VE GOT THE UGB TRAIL LABEL.
UM, TRYING TO THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE THAT JUMPS OUT ON THE EAST SIDE.
I JUST ADDED THESE, THAT ONE QUICK COMMENT'S THAT A GLOBAL COMMENT THAT, UM, IS YEAH, KIND OF ACROSS THE CITY, BUT MAYBE MORE FOCUSED ON THE EAST SIDE.
UM, IS THAT ONE OF THE THINGS WE DIDN'T ADD TO IS NOT ADDED TO THIS, ARE KIND OF THE ACCESS WAYS.
AND BJORN MENTIONED THIS KIND OF ON PRIVATE PROPERTY, BUT SPECIFICALLY THE SHOPPING CENTERS.
MAJOR HUGE, MASSIVE PARKING LOTS, FIGURING OUT, YOU KNOW, IS THERE A PREFERRED ROUTE THAT WE COULD RECOMMEND MAYBE TO THESE LARGE LANDOWNERS? UM,
[01:25:01]
AND THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE A SEPARATE DOCUMENT OR NOT A SEPARATE DOCUMENT, SEPARATE SECTION.UM, THAT'S KIND OF LIKE A FOCUSED ON THESE MAJOR, UM, YEAH, HUGE.
IF WE WANT PEOPLE TO GO SHOPPING, YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE COMFORTABLE TRYING TO NAVIGATE BETWEEN A SEA OF CARS.
UM, SO, BUT IT'S ALSO, YOU KNOW, PRIVATE PROPERTY.
SO OUR RIGHTS AS A CITY, WE CAN'T REALLY YEAH.
WE HAVE NO, SO IT'S ALMOST LIKE A, THERE'S NO TRIGGER RECOMMENDATION OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THAT WE COULD HAVE SEPARATE FOR THAT AND SAY, FOR EACH OF THESE SHOPPING CENTERS, HERE'S A RECOMMENDED ROUTE THAT, UM, MAYBE IT COULD BE A SUBCOMMITTEE IN THE FUTURE FOR P BACK TO TRY TO GET IN TOUCH WITH SOME OF THESE LANDOWNERS AND SEE IF THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING WORTHWHILE TO, UM, PULL ON THEIR HEARTSTRINGS AND RATHER THAN THEIR PURSE STRINGS TO SEE IF SOMETHING THAT COULD BE MADE.
BUT, UM, YEAH, JUST AGAIN, A GLOBAL COMMENT FOR IT.
IT WOULD BE AMAZING TO SEE, I MEAN, SHOPPING CENTERS ARE NOT LACKING IN, IN REAL ESTATE.
THEY HAVE, THERE'S SO MUCH EXCESS PARKING CAPACITY IN IN MANY OF THEM TOO.
AND IT WOULD BE NEAT TO ENVISION, OR, YOU KNOW, EVEN IF, IF, IF WE COULD IDENTIFY ONE PROPERTY OWNER WHO IS WILLING TO DO KIND OF THEIR OWN QUICK BUILD PROJECT IN THEIR PARKING LOT, RIGHT? THEY'LL JUST CONVERT AN AISLE OF PARKING INTO A BIKEWAY THAT GETS YOU FROM THE MAIN STREET TO THE SHOPPING CENTER.
UM, AND MAYBE COULD BE USED TO INS INSPIRE OTHERS.
UH, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, LIKE ADAM SAYS, THERE'S JUST NO TRIGGER.
WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, THEY'VE, THEY'VE BEEN APPROVED, THEY WERE DEVELOPED THAT WAY.
IT'S, IT'S ALL, IT WOULD BE VOLUNTARY ON THEIR PART.
I MEAN, I WILL SAY THAT ONE OF OUR, ONE OF THE GOALS IN OUR HOUSING ELEMENT WAS TO REDEVELOP CERTAIN SHOPPING CENTERS.
AND WITH OUR ZONING CODE, WE'LL BE LOOKING AT THAT.
SO MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING WE CAN DO AND AS WE LOOK AT THE ZONING CODE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT,
TO ENSURE THAT AS NEW SHOPPING, AS SHOPPING CENTERS ARE REDEVELOPED, OR AS NEW SHOPPING CENTERS ARE DEVELOPED, THAT THEY INCLUDE THOSE ALL AGENTS ABILITIES, CONNECTIONS TO ADJACENT THE ADJACENT STREET NETWORK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
I THINK IT MAKES SENSE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, TO TRY AND START TO BUILD THE, THE INFRASTRUCTURE AROUND OR THE, TO DESIGN THE INFRASTRUCTURE AROUND A REDEVELOP SHOPPING CENTER.
JUST THINK ABOUT WHAT IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE.
I, I MEAN, A STARTING POINT TOO WOULD JUST BE TO GET THEM TO UPGRADE THEIR BIKE PARKING
A LOT OF OUR, A LOT OF OUR GROCERY STORES IN TOWN ESPECIALLY HAVE SIMILAR, HOW ABOUT JUST HAVING A BIKE RACK? YEAH.
A BIKE RACK OR UPGRADING REALLY LOUSY ONES TO LOOK MORE LIKE WHAT WE'VE BEEN IMPLEMENTING AT THE CITY WOULD BE WONDERFUL.
UM, IS THAT A, UM, WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT MCDOWELL JUST NORTH OF WASHINGTON, IS IS THAT, UM, ON HERE AS A, WHAT IS IT, CLASS TWO? NO.
SO WE'VE GOT A COUPLE THINGS GOING.
MCDOWELL IS REALLY INTERESTING NORTH OF WASHINGTON.
YOU'VE GOT KIND OF A PATCHWORK WHERE THERE ARE SOME SECTIONS WHERE WE'VE ACTUALLY BUILT CLASS ONE, TECHNICALLY CLASS ONE TRAILS.
I DON'T THINK THEY'RE WELL USED BECAUSE THEY'RE IN SUCH POOR CONDITION OR BECAUSE THEY'VE GOT A LOT OF DIFFERENT OBSTRUCTIONS.
UM, THEY JUST, UNFORTUNATELY, YOU KNOW, TO BE COMPLETELY HONEST, I THINK THEY'RE PROBABLY IMPLEMENTED A BIT AHEAD OF THEIR TIME
AND SO THEY DON'T REFLECT CURRENT KIND OF DESIGN, UH, THE SIDEWALK SLASH PATHWAY THAT HITS A UTILITY POLE AND LIKE YEAH.
AND THEN AWKWARD CURB RAMPS THAT AREN'T REALLY DESIGNED FOR BIKING.
SO ANYWAY, SO IF THERE WERE A WAY TO KIND OF, TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE PATHWAYS AND JUST MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TO THEM, SO THEY ARE MORE USER FRIENDLY.
UM, SO WE'VE TRIED TO CAPTURE THAT HERE WITH CLASS ONES ON BOTH SIDES.
AND THEN DOWN HERE YOU'VE GOT A SECTION AND ALSO HOPING THAT, YOU KNOW, IF SAY LET'S SAY THESE SHOPPING CENTERS REDEVELOP, YOU KNOW, WE'RE SHOWING CLASS ONES ALONG THEIR MCDOWELL FRONTAGE, SO WHEN THEY MAKE THOSE IMPROVEMENTS, THEY DELIVER THAT CLASS ONE ON THEIR SIDE.
UM, THIS IS A SECTION WITH THAT'S FRONTED BY HOMES.
SO WE SHOWED A DIFFERENT TREATMENT HERE, THINKING CLASS ONE PROBABLY WON'T BE FEASIBLE, BUT MAYBE WE CAN SQUEEZE IN A, YOU KNOW, IF WE COULD SQUEEZE IN A DIRECTIONAL CLASS FOUR ON THAT SIDE, GREAT.
BUT THEN FOR THE REST OF THE CORRIDOR, IT'S REALLY MORE, UM, ENVISIONING CLASS ONES HITS A TRANSITION
[01:30:01]
HERE FROM SOUTH POINT TO SUNRISE, I THINK, UM, WHERE IT'S BACK TO CLASS FOURS AND THEN, UM, TO GET AROUND THE TRACKS CLASS ONE.SO IT, AGAIN, IT KIND OF TRANSITIONS BACK AND FORTH.
DID TRIED OUR BEST TO KIND OF CAPTURE THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE OUT THERE.
SO THAT CLASS ONE IS REALLY KIND OF THAT, UM, OFF THE STREET PATHWAY, YEAH.
AND DO YOU, DO YOU SEE THAT ON BOTH SIDES? I MEAN, THAT'S THE, AGAIN, KNOWING THAT THIS ONE ON, ON THIS SIDE ISN'T HAPPENING UNTIL A SHOPPING, OR SORRY, THIS WOULD NOT HAPPEN UNTIL A SHOPPING CENTER, THIS SHOPPING CENTER RE WERE TO REDEVELOP, OR IF THEY WERE TO MAKE SOME IMPROVEMENTS.
SO UNTIL THAT TIME IT WOULD BE WHAT A CLASS TWO? YEAH, I MEAN, NORTH MCDONALD'S, ONE OF THOSE CORRIDORS WHERE IT HONESTLY KIND OF, IT PROBABLY NEEDS ITS OWN STUDY, OR NOT STUDY, BUT LIKE ITS OWN PLAN.
LIKE, ALL RIGHT, HERE'S WHAT, HERE'S THE BEST WE CAN DO WITH THE EXISTING RIGHT OF WAY.
HERE'S THE INTERIM KIND OF PLAN.
UM, BECAUSE IT'S JUST, IT'S BEEN THE BIKEWAYS THERE HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED IN SUCH A, SUCH A PIECEMEAL FASHION, UNFORTUNATELY.
HOW, HOW FAR DOES THE SPECIFIC PLAN GO DOWN? I'M NOT SURE.
I THINK IT GOES DOWN THE ROAD DOWN PRETTY GOOD WAYS, ROAD DOWN.
IT MIGHT GO ALL THE WAY TO WASHINGTON, SO THERE MIGHT BE A PLANNING PROCESS.
THAT WOULD BE REALLY FAR STARTING.
IS THAT ON THE PAVING PLAN OR THE, NO, THERE'S A, AROUND THE CORONA STATION, THERE'S A SPECIFIC PLAN THAT WE HAVE FUNDING FOR THAT'S GONNA LOOK AT, UM, THE EXPANSION AREA.
THAT'S SORT OF THE, THE UGB EXPANSION AREA, AND THEN BASICALLY THE WHOLE MCDOWELL UH, CORRIDOR.
THAT SHOULD KICK OFF, I THINK END OF NEXT YEAR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
YEAH, I JUST THINK ABOUT THE SMART TRAIN GOING IN THERE AND WHAT, I MEAN, I KNOW IT'S A DIFFICULT STRETCH OF ROAD BETWEEN CORONA AND WASHINGTON, UM, BUT UH, WITH THE SMART TRAIN GOING IN, I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE GIVE PEOPLE A, UM, A PATHWAY TO THE TRAIN STATION.
MCDOWELL DOES FEEL LIKE, YOU KNOW, FROM A, FROM A MODE SHIFT STANDPOINT, MCDOWELL FEELS LIKE IT'S PROBABLY THE MOST CRITICAL CORRIDOR ON THE EAST SIDE.
WOULD, WOULD YOU ALL TEND TO AGREE WITH THAT? UM, 'CAUSE IT'S, YEAH.
I MEAN, YOU'VE GOT PLENTY OF WAYS TO KIND OF GET, I'LL CALL IT EAST WEST, UM, LIKE ACROSS MCDOWELL AND ACROSS SNOW MOUNTAIN MARIA, SNOW MOUNTAIN PARKWAY, UH, IN THAT DIRECTION.
I MEAN, EVEN THIS MAP IS, IS, IS KIND OF REVEALING LOTS OF WAYS TO GET ACROSS.
BUT AS FAR AS GOING FROM THE NORTH END OF THE EAST SIDE TO THE SOUTH END, UM, I MEAN REALLY YOUR ONLY OPTIONS ARE SNOW MOUNTAIN PARKWAY, MARIA AND, AND NORTH MCDOWELL.
IS ANYBODY ELSE LIVE UP IN THAT CORRIDOR? 'CAUSE THAT'S WHERE MY NEIGHBORHOOD IS AND I DON'T RIDE MCDOWELL.
I WILL TAKE MARIA WHEREVER I NEED TO.
I DO NOT RIDE SONOMA MOUNTAIN PARKWAY.
I WILL GO AND TAKE THE TRAIL ACROSS THE TOP AND THEN CUT DOWN AT THE DIFFERENT AREAS, THE CORNER AT CORONA, WHERE THE SMART TRAIN IS GOING IN.
THAT IS PROBABLY THE BIGGEST MESS THAT WE HAVE UP IN THAT CORNER.
SOME OF THAT WILL BE GETTING BETTER.
WE'VE GOT, UM, THERE WILL BE A LOT OF FRONTAGE IMPROVEMENTS ON NORTH MCDOWELL AND CORONA WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE STATION AND THE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT THERE.
SO THERE WILL BE SOME CLASS ONES GOING IN ON THAT, ON THEIR FRONTAGE.
UM, BUT AGAIN, CONNECTING TO THOSE AND TALKING, DO WE TALK ABOUT SPEED CALMING AT ALL WITH THIS? YEAH.
AGAIN, THAT'S NORTH ELI, NORTH E SO OH, NORTH UP HERE.
NORTH ELI IS LITERALLY A DRAG STRIP.
WE'VE HAD A CAR IN OUR BACKYARD FROM KIDS DRAGS RACING THROUGH THERE.
WHEN WE MOVED IN, THEY ACTUALLY HAD IT PAINTED FOR DRAG RACING.
SO AGAIN, WITH ANY BIKEWAY IMPLEMENTATION, WE WOULD BE OBVIOUSLY TAKING THAT OPPORTUNITY TO ALSO MAKE PEDESTRIAN AND TRAFFIC CALMING IMPROVEMENTS.
[01:35:01]
RAINIER GOES UNDER 1 0 1.THIS IS SHOWING THE ALIGNMENT OF THE RAINIER EXTENSION THAT IS IN THE, THE CURRENT GENERAL PLAN.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S THE ALIGNMENT THAT'S SHOWING.
BUT I THINK WHAT WE WOULD DO IS JUST DEFER TO WHATEVER THE GENERAL PLAN SAYS.
THE, THE OTHER THING THAT I LIKE, UM, THE OUTLET MALLS, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE OF THE OUTLET MALLS HOLDS, BUT I JUST FEEL LIKE THERE'S THIS OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE IT MORE OF AN ACTIV, LIKE AN ACTIVITY CENTER AT SOME POINT.
AND HAVING SOME SORT OF A BIKE CONNECTION FROM THE EAST SIDE TO THE OUTLET MALLS COULD BE, UM, COULD BE FUN.
SO, YEAH, I MEAN THOSE OPTIONS KIND OF THINKING THROUGH THEM, YOU WOULD HAVE RAINIER UNDERNEATH 1 0 1 AND THEN UNDERNEATH THE SMART TRACKS, UH, LINKING UP WITH EITHER THE RIVER TRAIL OR THERE'S A RAIL, OLD RAIL SPUR, UM, EXACTLY ALIGNMENT THAT WE'RE SHOWING.
THIS IS JUST, SO THE FREEWAY IS LIKE RIGHT HERE.
SO THAT'S ON THIS SIDE OF THE FREEWAY.
THAT WOULD, THAT WOULD GET YOU TO THE OUTLETS, THE BACKSIDE OF THE OUTLETS AND DOWN TO, UM, CORONA.
AND THEN ALSO WE ARE OBVIOUSLY LOOKING AT CORONA PRETTY CLOSELY.
WE'VE GOT THAT ACTIVE, THAT STUDY UNDERWAY THAT WE JUST, UM, RECENTLY SHARED WITH, UH, WE HAD THE CONSULTANT PRESENT TO PBA.
SO THERE'S SOME GOOD, THERE'S SOME GOOD IDEAS THERE FOR IMPROVEMENTS THAT'LL PROBABLY END UP IN OUR PROPOSED FIVE YEAR CIP BASED ON SOME TIMING OF SOME CALTRAN STUFF.
IF, IF THAT PEDAL ON RIVER TRAIL COULD GO ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF THE FREEWAY THERE BEHIND THE OUTLETS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT WHOLE RIGHT OF WAY LOOKS LIKE ON THAT SIDE OF THE FREEWAY ALL THE WAY DOWN.
UH, WELL I'M, I'M LOOKING TOWARDS LYNCH CREEK TRAIL OH YEAH.
IF THERE WAS WAY TO GET A PATHWAY JUST RUNNING ALONG THE FREEWAY THERE TO CONNECT, UM, YOU KNOW, SHOPPING CENTER ON WASHINGTON AND UP TO FUTURE ACTIVITY CENTER AT THE PETALUMA OUTLETS UP THERE.
UM, I, I GUESS THE ONE YOU PUT IN THERE THAT CURVES, YOU SAID BECAUSE OF THE TRAIN SPUR, SO YOU KIND OF
SO NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO OUT HERE, YOU'RE ONLY, WE'RE ONLY EVER GONNA HAVE THIS TRAIN CROSSING.
UM, IT'S JUST A, IT'S A PROPOSED UNDER CROSSING OF THE TRAIN TRACKS, OTHERWISE, UH, I MEAN, WE'RE NOT GONNA GET A NEW AC GRADE RAIL CROSSING APPROVED THERE.
UM, SO EVERYTHING YOU DO OUT THERE WILL FUNNEL YOU ULTIMATELY TO THIS POINT RIGHT HERE ALONG THE RIVER.
BUT YOU COULD JOG A LITTLE BIT FOR THAT.
ARE YOU ENVISIONING LIKE A LOOP TREADMILL? YEAH, EXACTLY WHERE YOU CLOUDED IT THERE.
SORRY, MIKE, ANOTHER MIC ISSUE.
ANYTHING ELSE JUMPING OUT ON THE EAST SIDE? UH, ONE OF THE INTERESTING IDEAS WE'VE ADDED HERE IS A SECONDARY, SO OBVIOUSLY THE SMART PATHWAY THAT'S BEING BUILT CURRENTLY, UH, IS UNDER, WELL UNDER CONSTRUCTION, UM, IS ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE TRACKS.
SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS IT DOESN'T PROVIDE ANY ACCESS TO THE NORTH MCDOWELL CORRIDOR TO THE BREWERIES.
UM, SO THIS IS AN IDEA TO, YOU KNOW, UTILIZE THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RAIL TRACKS FOR A MORE LOCALIZED CONNECTION, OBVIOUSLY WOULD BE SUBJECT TO SMART, UH,
AND ALSO IT'S, YOU WOULD NEED TO FIND A PLACE TO PROVIDE THAT ACCESS, UM, THROUGH TO NORTH MCDOWELL OR INTO A, YOU KNOW, A THIS IS ALL PRIVATE PROPERTY.
SO, UM, BUT AT LEAST THOUGHT THE IDEA WAS WORTH GETTING THE PLAN.
UM, SO WHAT I THINK I WILL, WHAT WE'LL DO IS WE WILL, UM, MAKE SOME UPDATES BASED ON YOUR FEEDBACK TONIGHT.
WE WILL SEND, UH, AN UPDATED, CAN WE LOOK AT THE EAST D STREET TRAIN STATION AREA JUST A LITTLE BIT? YEAH.
MIDTOWN, WE TOTALLY SKIPPED OVER MIDTOWN.
NO, I'M GLAD YOU, IT'S A, IT'S AN IMPORTANT,
[01:40:01]
UH, PART OF TOWN FOR GETTING PEOPLE ACROSS.SO WE'VE GOT THE WASHINGTON CORRIDOR STUDY.
UM, I, I THINK WE HAVE ROOM, THERE'S A SEC.
THE SECTION OF WASHINGTON FROM THE BOULEVARD TO LAKEVILLE, OR ACTUALLY MAYBE EVEN TO WILSON, IS LOOKS A LOT WIDER.
AND I THINK WITH A, A RES STRIPING WITH NARROWING THE LANES, YOU COULD PROBABLY GET SOMETHING IN THERE.
IT'S WHERE IT PINCHES DOWN ON EITHER END OF THAT, WHERE YOU'VE OBVIOUSLY GOT A LOT OF OTHER CHALLENGES.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT, THAT'S THE REASON THAT YOU SEE THIS SECTION THAT'S NOT IDENTIFIED AS A CORRIDOR STUDY.
AGAIN, TRYING TO KEEP THE CORRIDOR STUDIES TO A MINIMUM IF POSSIBLE.
UM, SO OTHER THAN THAT, WE'VE GOT EAST D ENVISIONED AS A NEIGHBORHOOD GREENWAY THAT THEN THEN LINKS TO, UM, UH, CLASS FOUR ON PAY RAN AND ALSO CONNECTS TO A, SOME SORT OF CONNECTION THROUGH THE FAIRGROUNDS PROPERTY.
YOU KNOW, THIS ACTUAL ALIGNMENT WOULD HAVE WOULD BE PART OF, YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S A FAIRGROUNDS MASTER PLAN OR, OR ANY SORT OF, UM, OTHER, IF THERE ARE OTHER IMPROVEMENTS MADE AT THE FAIRGROUNDS, WE'RE JUST TRYING TO SHOW A LINE SHOWING THE, THE GOAL IS TO GET PEOPLE FROM EAST D STREET TO THE MCKENZIE OVERCROSSING.
UM, SO THAT'S NOT AN ACTUAL ALIGNMENT THAT WE'RE SHOWING THERE.
WE ADDED THE, UH, CLASS ONE IN THE FAIRGROUNDS THAT WAS RECENTLY IMPLEMENTED, UM, ON NOS CONCOURSE.
LET'S SEE, WE'VE GOT, UM, EDITH STREET, BECAUSE THAT PROVIDES A LYNCH CREEK OR PET, I SHOULDN'T SAY PETMAN RIVER TRAIL CONNECTION.
MADISON STREET PROVIDES A REALLY GOOD CONNECTIVITY.
IT'S A GOOD ALTERNATIVE TO THE WASHINGTON CORRIDOR, OBVIOUSLY, AND ALSO GETS YOU UP TO, UM, BOTH THE WASHINGTON CREEK TRAIL AND, UH, A LITTLE SPUR OFF OF BURLINGTON THAT CONNECTS TO LYNCH CREEK
ANY COMMENTS, FEEDBACK IN THIS AREA? THANK YOU.
UM, WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF THOUGHTS ON THE FAIRGROUNDS.
ONE, I RATHER THAN SHOWING SPECIFICALLY WHERE IT HAPPENS, IT MIGHT JUST BE GOOD TO DELINEATE THAT AS LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO GET PEOPLE THROUGH THE FAIRGROUNDS PROPERTY, UM, RATHER THAN LIKE PUTTING EXACTLY WHERE IT HAPPENS.
UM, IN GENERAL, I LIKE THE, THE FOCUS ON SAFE CONNECTIVITY TO THE FAIRGROUNDS.
UM, GENERAL QUESTION ABOUT CORRIDOR STUDIES.
WE'VE GOT MOUNTAIN VIEW BODEGA, UM, WASHINGTON BODEGA SLASH WASHINGTON LAKEVILLE, MAGNOLIA PAY RAN, AND THEN THIS, THIS ONE IS ACTUALLY FUNDED ALREADY, SO THAT WILL BE UNDERWAY VERY SOON.
SO THAT'S LAKEVILLE FROM EAST D TO THE BOULEVARD, JUST A KIND OF A, IT WIDENS UP FROM THE BOULEVARD TO, UM, TO THE RIVER.
SO I THINK THERE'S OPPORTUNITY TO MAYBE JUST GET SOMETHING DONE IN THERE WITHOUT HAVING TO DO A STUDY.
UM, BUT THEN THE PINCH POINT IS REALLY FROM THE RIVER TO D STREET WHERE IT'S, IT'S TIGHT AND YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO DO SOMETHING MAJOR TO GET ANYTHING COMFORTABLE IN THERE.
UM, SO IT'S A MATTER OF JUST FIGURING OUT WHAT THAT, WHAT THAT IS AND HOW MUCH IT'LL COST
SO I'M GLAD THAT ONE'S FUNDED BECAUSE THERE'S A COUPLE OF PROJECTS THAT ARE, UM, YOU KNOW, THAT THE OLD TRACK SITE IS ONE THAT'S KIND OF PROBABLY BE HAVING SOME FRONTAGES WORK DONE THERE WHEN IT GETS BUILT.
UM, I GUESS MY QUESTION IS, IS LIKE, HOW MUCH DO THESE THINGS COST? AND LIKE, HOW DO WE GO ABOUT GETTING FUNDING FOR 'EM AND PRIORITIZE THAT? 'CAUSE IT JUST, WHEN I SEE CORRIDOR STUDY, IT FEELS LIKE, LIKE WE'RE JUST NOT GONNA, YOU KNOW, LIKE WE'RE GONNA DO THE OTHER THINGS.
UM, AND THESE ARE LIKE, YOU KNOW, BIG, YOU KNOW, AND THAT, THAT'S MAYBE A FINE ANSWER I GUESS.
I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND LIKE IT, AND HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT IT'S YEAH, IT'S A REALLY GOOD QUE I THINK IT'S, YEAH, I CAN ANSWER THAT.
SO, I MEAN, THERE'S A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIKE A MOUNTAIN VIEW CORRIDOR STUDY WHERE HONESTLY WHAT THAT IS IS GONNA BE, YOU KNOW, DRAWING A HANDFUL OF KIND OF POTENTIAL CROSS SECTIONS, COLLECTING PARKING DATA, ENGAGING THE NEIGHBORHOOD, SAYING, YOU KNOW, HERE ARE THE ISSUES, HERE ARE THE OPPORTUNITIES.
[01:45:01]
AND KIND AND SORT OF FIGURING OUT LIKE WHAT THE TRADE, TRADE-OFFS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE DIFFERENT IMPROVEMENTS.UM, YOU KNOW, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT COULD BE IMPLEMENTED PRETTY EASILY WITHOUT BRINGING IN AN OUTSIDE CONSULTANT.
IT'S A, YOU KNOW, NOT, NOT A HUGE LIFT.
UM, IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT EAST WASHINGTON STREET AND, YOU KNOW, HOW ARE WE GOING TO USE, WHAT'S THE BEST USE OF THIS VERY LIMITED RIGHT OF WAY ON OUR CITY'S PRIMARY EAST WEST ARTERY, THAT'S GONNA BE A MUCH, MUCH BIGGER, UH, STUDY THAT'S GOING TO, AND IT GOES WELL BEYOND BIKE PED TOO.
I MEAN, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT EMERGENCY OPERATIONS, UM, EMERGENCY RESPONSE, OBVIOUSLY IT'S A MAJOR TRANSIT CORRIDOR AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE A, A REALLY ROBUST TRANSIT CORRIDOR.
SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S GONNA BE A, A MUCH, MUCH BIGGER CONVERSATION THAT WOULD PROBABLY INVOLVE A CONSULTANT.
I, I WOULD GUESS THAT'S A, I DON'T KNOW, A, PROBABLY A $250,000 MULTI-YEAR EXERCISE IF I WERE TO GUESS, UM, TO KIND OF, TO GO THROUGH THAT WHOLE PROCESS.
AND THEN, AND THEN, SORRY, GO AHEAD.
YEAH, UH, LAKEVILLE, LIKE I SAID, IS FUNDED MAGNOLIA PAY RAN.
SO AGAIN, I THINK PAY RAN, THE PAY RAN STRETCH, WE COULD PROBABLY, IT'S SIMILAR TO WHAT I WAS DESCRIBING ON, UM, MOUNTAIN VIEW.
JUST A MATTER OF HERE ARE THE KINDA, HERE ARE THE OPTIONS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? UH, NOT REALLY ANY, I DON'T THINK ANY CONSULTING, IT'S NOT LIKE A, A COMPLICATED MULTI-YEAR PROCESS, MAGNOLIA OVER HERE.
UM, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE, LITTLE TRICKIER BECAUSE WE GOTTA LOOK AT RIGHT OF WAY.
WE'VE GOTTA LOOK AT, UM, THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S GONNA BE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF AN ENGINEERING EXERCISE.
I THINK THE IDEA THOUGH, WITH THESE STUDIES IS WE DON'T WANT TO GET SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA S**T SIT, SIT ON A SHELF, EXCUSE ME,
WE WANT TO, WE WANT TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN THEN EASILY TURN INTO A CIP PROJECT.
AND IN TERMS OF TIMING OF THESE, I REALIZE THE FIVE YEAR PAVING PLAN WAS JUST APPROVED MONDAY, BUT HAVE YOU STARTED TO LOOK AT HOW THE TIMING OF A CORRIDOR STUDY AND, AND THE FIVE YEAR PAVING PLAN MESH? COOL.
YEAH, SO YEAH, BECAUSE WASHINGTON I THINK WAS 2029, UM, IN THE PAVING PLAN.
SO YEAH, THAT MEANS THE CORRIDOR STUDY WOULD NEED TO BE INITIATED, UH, PRETTY PRETTY SOON HERE.
AND THEN FINAL, UM, THE FINAL THOUGHT, AND MAYBE THIS WOULD HAPPEN AS PART OF THE PAY RAN CORRIDOR STUDY, BUT THERE'S THAT LITTLE LIKE SQUIGGLY FROM THE, UH, LYNCH CREEK TRAIL TO HOLLY LANE.
IS THAT, IS IT POSSIBLE TO MAKE THAT, MAKE THAT A PAVED TRAIL IF NOT THAT? I THINK IT'S FUNNY WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THAT, UM, IF NOT THERE SOMEWHERE UP OFF OF HOLLY CREATING AN ACTUAL CLASS ONE CONNECTION FROM HOLLY.
IT DEPENDS ON HOW WE TREAT PAY RAN, BUT JUST RECOGNIZING THAT THAT'S HOW A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE FROM THE EAST SIDE ARE GONNA GET TO OUR FAIRGROUNDS.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT HAS CAPACITY AND IS CONVENIENT AND SAFE.
IT'S THIS LITTLE SINGLE TRACK.
I THINK IT WOULD BE EASIER TO CONNECT SOMETHING FROM HOLLY TO THE TRAIL THROUGH THE PARK AREA RATHER THAN ALONG THE CREEK.
UM, QUESTION BJORN, THANK YOU FOR WALKING THROUGH THE DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF THE CORRIDOR STUDY.
I'M CURIOUS IF THERE'S SOME WAY TO, JUST TO KIND OF, TO BRIAN'S POINT OF NOT WANTING TO WAIT YEAH.
FOR EVERYTHING WITH KIND OF LIKE THE CROSSTOWN CONNECTION.
THERE WAS STUDY, THERE WAS ONE CONSULTANT STUDYING, YOU KNOW, NUMEROUS ONES.
IF IT MIGHT BE BETTER AND MORE EFFICIENT TO HAVE THESE KIND OF PACKAGED UP INTO A SERIES OF TASKS FOR ONE CONSULTANT.
SUPER LOW HANGING FRUIT THAT AREN'T REALLY NEEDED, BUT OTHERS I WOULD SAY, SO THE GOOD NEWS HERE IS THAT WE'VE GOT, LIKE I SAID, LAKEVILLE IS FUNDED.
UM, WE HAVE, IT SOUNDS LIKE PAY RAN, IT SEEMS LIKELY TO RECEIVE SOME FORM OF QUICK BUILD IMPROVEMENTS, UM, THROUGH THE SAFE STREETS DOMINATION PROGRAM AND SAFE STREETS FOR ALL, UH, GRANT APPLICATION THAT WOULD COVER, UM, WASHINGTON
[01:50:01]
TO THE TRACKS.SO REALLY YOU'RE ONLY TALKING NOW ABOUT EAST WASHINGTON, WHICH AGAIN, WE'RE ALREADY, LOOK, WE NEED TO LOOK AT BECAUSE OF A UPCOMING PAVING PROJECT AND THEN MAGNOLIA.
UM, AND THEN LIKE I SAID, I THINK MOUNTAIN VIEW IS A, IS NOT A HUGE LIFT.
SO, UM, BUT YEAH, DEFINITELY POINT WELL TAKEN THAT IT MAKES SENSE TO COMBINE PROJECTS WITH SIMILAR SCOPE IF THEY ARE, YOU KNOW, IF WE HAVE THE RESOURCES TO DO SO.
I THINK PAY, PAY RAN WAS ON THE PAVING PLAN.
I DON'T SEE IT ON THE PRESENTATION, BUT I THINK IT WAS ON THERE SO I COULD PULL IT UP.
MAYBE WHILE YOU'RE DOING THAT, JUST ONE OTHER COMMENT KIND OF RELATED TO THE FAIRGROUNDS AND SAFE ACCESS TO IT FROM ALL SIDES OF THE CITY.
UM, THAT KIND OF CONNECTION, UM, ALONG EAST D STREET AND THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE, MACKENZIE LINKING UP TO MARIA DRIVE.
YOU KNOW, THAT'S A, IN VERY REAL SENSE, I THINK A COULD BE A VERY STRONG ALTERNATIVE CORRIDOR.
BUT JUST THE NUMBER OF DIFFERENT KIND OF, UM, FACILITIES THERE.
YOU'RE JUMPING FROM, YOU KNOW, NEIGHBORHOOD GREENWAY TO YEP.
PROTECTED FACILITY TO NEIGHBORHOOD GREENWAY TO CLASS ONE TO MM-HMM.
IT, I THINK IT MAKES IT HARDER FOR SOMEONE WHO'S NOT AS COMFORTABLE TO FEEL LIKE, IS THIS A COMPLETE ROUTE THAT I COULD REALLY GET ACROSS? BUT MM-HMM.
AND THAT'S JUST SUCH THE MAIN ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM.
I WONDER IF THERE'S SOME TYPE OF, UM, PROTOCOL FORMULA, SOMETHING THAT WE CAN SAY THE OLD, LIKE IF THERE'S 50% OF THE CARS YEAH.
YOU KNOW, ARE PARKED, THEN YOU CAN USE ONE HALF AND WE'LL TAKE THE OTHER HALF FOR, YOU KNOW, ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION FOR BIKE PATHS.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S SOMETHING WE COULD LOOK INTO EVEN AT YEAH.
AS PART OF THIS PLAN, SOME TYPE OF STANDARD THAT SAYS WHEN IS IT APPROPRIATE TO REMOVE ON STREET PARKING, HAVE A THRESHOLD.
I KNOW JUST FROM GOING ALONG EAST D STREET REGULARLY THAT THERE'S, IT'S NOT A HUNDRED PERCENT, IT'S NOT 75%, IT'S KIND OF 50%.
SO, UM, AND THAT OBVIOUSLY, YEAH, YOU NEED TO HAVE THAT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND SO FORTH.
BUT, UM, JUST TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF STANDARD THAT WE CAN GO OFF, I THINK IS REALLY GONNA BE VITAL WHEN WE START GETTING INTO THESE DETAILED, YOU KNOW, DISCUSSIONS OF WHEN IS IT APPROPRIATE TO REMOVE ON STREET PARKING FOR, LET'S JUST CALL IT THE GREATER GOOD.
I'VE HEARD, I SPOKE WITH SOMEONE FROM DENVER WHO I BELIEVE SAID THAT THEY HAD A 50% THRESHOLD.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS FORMAL IN OR INFORMAL.
UM, THE TWO OPPORTUNITIES THAT COULD POTENTIALLY ACCOMPLISH THAT WOULD BE POSSIBLY THROUGH THE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE, IF THE MOBILITY ELEMENT HAS, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, THERE'S BEEN DISCUSSION OF HAVING KIND OF A HIERARCHY OF USES OF STREET WIDTH DEPENDING ON THE STREET CHARACTERISTICS.
YOU KNOW, LIKE IS IT IN THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK? UM, YEAH.
WHAT, SO LIKE WHAT IF YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN TWO DIFFERENT USES OF STREET WIDTH, WHAT, WHAT'S THE PRIORITY? UM, YEAH, I THINK YOU HAVE THE MATRIX IS IN YOUR HEAD.
I JUST WANNA BE ABLE TO SEE IT IN SOMEWHERE.
OR EVEN IN THE COMPLETE STREETS POLICY UPDATE.
UM, YEAH, SO JUST LOOKING AT THE INTERACTIVE MAP THAT WE WERE GIVEN, IT SHOWS PAY RAN GETTING SOME SORT OF A TREATMENT IN FISCAL YEAR 2026.
SO THAT MIGHT BE, A CORRIDOR STUDY MIGHT BE NEEDED ON THAT SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.
AND THEN I THINK THE DOWN AT THE OTHER END WHERE THE PAVING IS REALLY BAD, IT'S, WAS IT 27? NO, IT'S 29 ON THAT.
WHICH YEAH, I'D LOVE TO PUSH THAT UP IF WE CAN.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THE MAP? WE GOT, UH, WASHINGTON EAST OF MCDOWELL IS CLASS FOUR.
UH, THE, WE GOT A PUBLIC COMMENT FROM THE MAYOR ABOUT THAT.
UH, HOW DOES, HOW DOES THAT FIT AND HOW PARTICULAR, UM, CONNECT TO THE WASHINGTON CREEK TRAIL, WHICH KINDA JUST DUMPS OUT RIGHT THERE.
[01:55:01]
IT'S BEEN A, A YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD, GOOD POINT ABOUT THAT.THAT'S SUCH A FUNKY, IT JUST, IT GOES TO NOWHERE.
I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY IT WOULD BE EASY TO USE IF YOU'RE GOING EASTBOUND ON WASHINGTON, BUT WHAT DO YOU DO IF YOU ARE GOING WESTBOUND? UM, WELL, EVEN IF YOU'RE GOING EASTBOUND, WHAT ARE YOU ON
WELL I'M SAYING IF, IF, UH, DIRECTIONAL CLASS FOURS ARE IMPLEMENTED AS SHOWN HERE.
UM, SO A NEED FOR CROSSING IMPROVEMENT AND, BUT YES.
ALSO, OBVIOUSLY IMPROVEMENTS TO WASHINGTON, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THAT SECTION OF WASHINGTON, UM, THE VOLUME DROPS OFF QUITE A BIT PAST EAST OF, OF NORTH MCDOWELL AND THEN IT JUST CONTINUES TO DROP THE FURTHER EAST YOU GO.
SO, UM, IT'S, IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE, BUT, BUT THAT COULD BE EAST, THAT SECTION OF EAST WASHINGTON COULD BE A CANDIDATE FOR LANE REDUCTION.
DEPENDING ON YES, OBVIOUSLY IS A CANDIDATE THAT WILL BE A, A, YOU KNOW, THERE WOULD DEFINITELY BE A, A LOT OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AROUND THAT AND LOTS OF NEED TO SHOW THAT IT WOULD NOT NEGATIVELY AFFECT OTHER, UM, EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND OTHER, AND, AND, AND CIRCULATION.
BUT, UM, IT'S, IT'S, I THINK IT'S UNDER THAT THRESHOLD.
SO THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL
AND THEN WE COULD WORK IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH DOWNTOWN UP TO, UP TO, UH, HOWARD.
I DIDN'T SAY ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING WEST OF NORTH WAS UNDER.
I KNOW JUST ADDING MY TWO BITS WORTH.
UM, UH, RN, THERE WAS ONE COMMENT I WANTED TO MAKE.
I KNOW WE'RE NOT, WE HAVEN'T, WE'VE FOCUSED A LITTLE BIT ON THE COUNTY, BUT, UM, THERE'S, UH, WHAT SCHOOL IS THAT OFF? UM, SKILLMAN, I THINK IT MIGHT BE.
UM, IT GOES INTO THE COUNTY, UM, ACTUALLY, LET ME CHECK MY NOTES.
YEAH, SKILLMAN TO C BAR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, THAT'S BAR.
UM, THAT WOULD BE I THINK SOMETHING SOMEWHERE IN THE, THAT WE CAN MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE COUNTY.
UM, AND I'D LOVE TO MAYBE AS PART OF THE NOTES WHEN WE SEND THIS OUT, THERE'S UM, A LINK THAT YOU CAN YEAH.
SEND COMMENTS DIRECTLY TO SCTA ABOUT, UM, UPDATES TO THE UNINCORPORATED THAT'S, UM, THAT COMMENT PERIOD I THINK IS OPEN THROUGH THE END OF THE MONTH.
UM, SO WE CAN MAKE THAT AVAILABLE TO COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
BUT YEAH, THAT ONE IN PARTICULAR, JUST TRYING TO CONNECT ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS TO A PROTECTED SEPARATED BIKEWAY.
THAT WAS ONE OF THE ONES THAT CAUGHT MY EYE THAT'S LEFT OUT.
AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE IN ALIGNMENT.
SO, UH, PELLAND BOULEVARD NORTH IS INTERESTING BECAUSE IT KIND OF BOUNCES BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN CITY AND COUNTY, BUT UM, IT LOOKS AT 'EM LIKE THEY'RE SHOWING CLASS FOUR ON WELL, ALRIGHT, THAT, JUST ON THAT NOTE, THAT BRIDGE OH YEAH, I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT CAN, I MEAN, THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO RECONFIGURE TO MAKE IT WORK.
NO, THAT'S, THAT'S A, YEAH, THAT WOULD, I THINK WOULD ULTIMATELY PROBABLY NEED A SEPARATED PATHWAY GETTING YOU OVER IT.
UM, WHAT I REALLY DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT AND ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO USE, EVEN CURRENTLY IF YOU'RE BIKING ALONG THE, THE PELHAM BOULEVARD NORTH CORRIDOR, GET OFF AT CORONA AND USE INDUSTRIAL.
AND THAT GETS YOU AROUND THAT PINCH POINT.
SIGNAGE WOULD BE GREAT FOR THAT.
LIKE IN, IN THE NEAR TERM, THAT WOULD BE A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A LITTLE BIT OF SIGNAGE.
UM, CAN WE DENOTE ON THE LEGEND THE, UH, GREENWAY SLASH BIKE BOULEVARD SO THAT IT BECOMES ITS OWN ENTITY? IT IT IS CURRENTLY IT IS.
THOSE ARE THE, UM, OH, I'M SORRY.
THAT WAS ONE OF THOSE ORANGE THINGS.
THE OTHER THING I'LL SAY, SINCE WAY WAYFINDING JUST CAME UP, SO THE GOAL, ONCE WE'VE FINALIZED THIS MAP, UM, THIS BECOMES THE BASIS FOR, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY OUR, OUR BIKE NETWORK, BOTH CURRENT AND FUTURE.
AND SO WHAT WE WOULD DO IS DEVELOP A SIGN PLAN BASED OFF OF THIS NETWORK.
UM, SO EVERYWHERE WHERE YOU SEE THESE BIKE ROUTES INTERSECTING, THERE WOULD BE A SIGN WITH IT OBVIOUSLY TO HELP YOU MAKE YOUR DECISION AROUND WHETHER TO PROCEED OR TO TURN RIGHT OR TURN LEFT.
UM, BUT THIS IS A CRITICAL STEP IN GETTING, MOVING TOWARDS ESTABLISHING THAT, THAT WHOLE CITYWIDE WAY FINDING SYSTEM.
ONCE THIS PLAN IS ADOPTED, WE ARE GOING TO SEND THIS PLAN TO A CONSULTANT TO DEVELOP A SIGNED PLAN.
[02:00:01]
A BUNCH OF EUROPEAN CITIES AND ALL THE BIKE SIGNS THAT I REMEMBER ARE THE ONES THAT POINT YOU DOWNTOWN.UM, SO IT'S ALWAYS DOWNTOWN THIS WAY, DOWNTOWN THIS WAY.
UM, IT'S HARD IF YOU'RE TRYING TO LEAVE TOWN.
AND THEN WE CAN GET INTO A WHOLE EXERCISE OF WHAT TYPES OF DESTINATIONS ARE CALLED OUT ON THE SIGNS, YOU KNOW, UM, BETWEEN THOSE LIKE REGIONAL OR, UH, ROUTES THAT GET YOU TO NEIGHBORING CITIES OR OUT INTO THE COUNTRYSIDE, UM, TYPES OF DESTINATIONS WITHIN THE CITY ITSELF.
UM, IS IT TIME THAT WE CAN OPEN PUBLIC COMMENT AND THEN WE'RE GONNA COME BACK, IT'LL COME BACK TO US ANYWAY.
LEMME I'LL JUST, I'LL JUST CLOSE WITH THIS.
SO WHAT WE WILL DO IS, UM, MAKE UPDATES, SEND THIS OUT WITH, UH, AND, AND WE JUST MAKE SURE WE'LL GET THE OTHER STREETS LAYER TURNED ON.
UM, AND SO HAPPY TO CONTINUE TO ACCEPT, UM, COMMENTS FROM THE COMMITTEE BY EMAIL.
WE'LL ALSO GET IT UP ON THE, THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN WEBPAGE, EMAIL IT OUT TO ALL THE SUBSCRIBERS, TAKE THEIR COMMENTS, UM, THROUGH THE, THROUGH THE MONTH AND, AND THEN MAKE KIND OF A FINAL DRAFT VERSION.
UM, THAT WOULD THEN GO INTO THE, INTO THE DRAFT PLAN.
AND THEN I WILL, LET ME SHARE A DIFFERENT SCREEN BACK TO MY OTHER SCREEN.
WHERE'S MY CURSOR? THERE WE GO.
UM, SO WE WILL BE LOOKING AT, SO PRIORITIZATION CRITERIA IS ANOTHER PART OF THIS.
I'LL JUST QUICKLY HIGHLIGHT KIND OF WHAT I'M TRYING TO ACHIEVE HERE.
SO THE GOAL IS REALLY TO ELEVATE, IF YOU THINK ABOUT OUR, OUR PRIMARY ARTERIES OF THIS, UM, OF OUR BIKE NETWORK, ELEVATE THOSE, ELEVATE THE ROUTES THAT ARE GOING TO LEAD TO THE GREATEST DEGREE OF MODE SHIFT.
UM, AND SO THIS CRITERIA TRIES TO, TRIES TO ADDRESS THAT.
AND, AND HAPPY TO TAKE FEEDBACK AND COMMENTS ON THIS AS WELL.
SO WE'VE GOT CRITERIA FAVORING ROUTES THAT CROSS OUR THREE MAJOR BARRIERS.
SO FIVE POINTS EACH IF THEY CROSS THE FREEWAY, RIVER, AND SMART TRACKS.
THOSE ARE OUR THREE DEFINING, UM, TRANSPORTATION BARRIERS.
WE'VE GOT POINTS FAVORING THOSE THAT ARE ON TRAILS AND ARTERIALS, AND THEN LITTLE BIT LESS FOR COLLECTORS AND LOCAL STREETS.
THE REASON BEING THAT, UM, OUR TRAILS OBVIOUSLY ARE GOING TO ENCOURAGE, UH, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE TO GET OUT AND WALK AND BIKE BECAUSE OF THE EXPERIENCE THAT THEY OFFER.
UM, BEING IN NATURE AND BEING AWAY FROM TRAFFIC ARTERIALS ARE PREFERABLE BECAUSE THEY'RE KIND, THEY, THEY ARE BY NATURE THE STREETS THAT HAVE THE GREATEST CONNECTIVITY.
UM, NOT ONLY WITH, YOU KNOW, NON-RESIDENTIAL DESTINATIONS, BUT ALSO JUST IN THE OVERALL STREET NETWORK.
UM, ALL OF THE LOCAL STREETS FEED INTO COLLECTORS WHICH FEED INTO ARTERIALS.
SO AGAIN, FROM A MODE SHIFT STANDPOINT, YOU NEED TO HAVE SAFE ROUTES ON ARTERIALS TO REALLY MOVE THE NEEDLE, UM, FAVORING STREET ROUTES BY THEIR TOTAL LENGTH.
SO EVEN IF WE'RE CLOSING A QUARTER MILE GAP CLOSURE, WE WANT TO CAPTURE THE TOTAL LENGTH OF THAT ROUTE THAT THAT GAP CLOSURE FALLS ON.
AND, AND, AND THAT'LL KIND OF ELEVATE THE IMPORTANCE OF THAT GAP.
UM, AND THEN CONNECTIONS BASED ON, WE'VE GOT A PRETTY EXTENSIVE LIST HERE.
UM, TRIED TO FAVOR SLIGHT FAVOR TOWARDS LIKE THE DESTINATIONS THAT ARE REALLY ACCESSED BY THE WHOLE COMMUNITY.
AND THEN, UM, AND THEN ONE POINT, UH, LESS FOR THE, FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND LOCAL PARKS, WHICH ARE USED GENERALLY BY FOLKS MORE WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND THEN A MULTIPLIER, UM, FAVORING PROJECTS LOCATED ON OUR EXISTING HIGH INJURY NETWORK OR SLIGHTLY LESS IF ON, UH, PARALLEL TO THE BANK NETWORK.
SORRY, YOU MIGHT, HOW COME YOU GUYS ARE HAVING
BUT, UM, AGAIN, HAPPY TO TAKE FEEDBACK ON THAT.
AND THEN AS FAR AS NEXT STEPS, SO WE'LL HAVE THE ACTION PLAN AND, UM, CROSSING AND PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS BACK TO YOU IN, AT OUR DECEMBER MEETING.
HAVE A FULL DRAFT PLAN AT OUR JANUARY, JANUARY MEETING.
UM, AND THEN THAT DRAFT PLAN WOULD THEN BE REVISED BASED ON YOUR FEEDBACK, GO TO PLANNING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL FOR THEIR INITIAL REVIEW
[02:05:01]
IN FEBRUARY AND THEN GO TO CITY COUNCIL FOR ADOPTION IN MARCH.WITH THAT CAN, UH, HAPPY TO TAKE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS, COMMENTS FROM THE COMMITTEE AND THEN WE CAN GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT.
OKAY, SO ONE, OH, COULD I ASK CLARIFYING QUESTION?
WHAT'S THAT? WE ONLY HAVE TWO MEMBERS OF THE AUDIENCE YOU CAN'T GO TO.
IT WAS ABOUT, IT WAS ABOUT THE CRITERIA THAT HE JUST PRESENTED THOUGH.
UM, JUST TO CLARIFY, SO WHEN YOU SAID BIKEWAY LENGTH, SO IF IT'S, HOW DOES, HOW DO YOU YEAH.
SO IF IT'S PART OF A LIKE, UH, GONNA MAKE ME GO BACK TO MY MAP, UM, I THINK IT'LL BE PRETTY EASY TO DETERMINE.
SO FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE BAYWOOD TO CAPISTRANO TO MEADOWVIEW, I WOULD CONSIDER THAT TO BE A ROUTE, UM, CELLA BETWEEN MCGREGOR AND CASA, I WOULD CONSIDER TO BE A ROUTE, UH, JUST KIND OF LOGICALLY FOLLOWING A CORRIDOR WITH MINIMAL TURNS.
UM, AND WHAT THAT'LL DO IS IT'LL GIVE PREFERENCE TO THE ROUTES THAT HAVE THE GREATEST DEGREE OF CROSSTOWN CONNECTIVITY.
THAT'S, THAT'S THE GOAL TO REALLY ELEVATE THE, THE KEY ARTERIES OF THIS NETWORK AND FOCUS ON THOSE FIRST RATHER THAN MORE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD LEVEL CONNECTIONS.
SECOND, WHAT I WOULD CALL KIND OF SECONDARY CONNECTIONS.
AND THEN I GUESS JUST WONDERING IF THERE'S POTENTIAL TO ADD SHOPPING CENTERS YEAH.
YEAH, I WAS TRYING TO, I KIND OF THINKING COULD, I GUESS WHAT WE WOULD NEED TO DO IS WE WOULD NEED TO DE WE WOULD NEED TO DESIGNATE SORT OF THE, LIKE WOULD YOU, DOES PET AND MARKET COUNT AS A SHOPPING? ARE YOU LOOKING FOR GROCERY STORES OR ARE YOU LOOKING FOR MORE OF THE BIG SHOPPING CENTERS? I THINK THE WAY WE WE MAPPED AT ONE POINT WAS KIND OF GROCERY STORES OR SHOPPING CENTERS THAT HAVE A GROCERY STORE IN THE OKAY.
THAT'S A GOOD, THAT'S AN EASY, YEAH.
ANYTHING ELSE FROM COMMITTEE? ALL RIGHT, GO FOR IT.
WELL WITH THAT, BEFORE THE PUBLIC COMMENT GOES TO SLEEP, UM, I'D LIKE TO OPEN PUBLIC COMMENT.
THE PUBLIC IS INVITED TO MAKE COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM AND IT, IT MENTIONS HERE, PUBLIC COMMENTS ARE LIMITED TO THREE MINUTES PER PERSON, BUT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT SUCH AN ARRAY OF, OF CITY STREETS, ET CETERA, THAT I'D LIKE TO WAIVE THE THREE MINUTES PER PERSON.
JUST BE AS SUCCINCT AS POSSIBLE IF YOU DO HAVE COMMENTS, AND LIKE I SAID, I WILL TAKE WRITTEN COMMENTS AS WELL.
SO IS, DO I HAVE ANYBODY AND OH, I, DO YOU HAVE TO FILL OUT SPEAKER CARDS? I GUESS? YES.
IF YOU WOULD BE SO KIND JUST TO FILL OUT A SPEAKER CARD AND HAND IT TO THE STAFF.
PETE IS THE FIRST SPEAKER I, I WILLAN.
UM, I, I WILL WRITE ALL OF THESE, SO I'LL, I'LL TRY TO JUST GO THROUGH THEM REALLY QUICKLY.
UM, IN, IN TALKING ABOUT SHOPPING CENTERS, UM, WHEN I READ THROUGH THE, THE RECENT GENERAL PLAN LAND USE DRAFT, UH, IT TALKS ABOUT 15 MINUTE CENTERS OR NODES, I FORGET THE EXACT TERM, BUT, UM, THE NEW GENERAL PLAN IS ENCOURAGING US TO, TO LOOK AT OUR, OUR ZONING GUIDELINES AND ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT OF 15 MINUTE NODES.
UM, SO IT WOULD PROBABLY BE A GOOD IDEA TO, TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING WE'RE DOING ALIGNS WITH THAT.
UM, UM, UH, I, I'D SUGGEST THAT, THAT ON OUR MAP, WE, WE NOTE THE SMART PATHWAY THROUGH TOWN
[02:10:01]
TOWN.UH, ALSO MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA ALSO TO NOTE THE BAY AREA RIDGE TRAIL, WHICH GOES THROUGH TOWN, UH, ABOUT NEIGHBORHOOD GREENWAYS.
MY, MY SENSE, MY VISION OF WHAT A NEIGHBORHOOD GREENWAY COULD BE LIKE ON VERY LOW TRAFFIC LOCAL STREETS IS SOMETHING MORE LIKE, UM, THE JOE RODDA TRAIL OR ONE OF OUR CREEKSIDE PADS, UH, VERY NARROW TREE LINED.
UM, AND THE WAY IT READS TO MOTORISTS IS AS A PLACE PRIMARILY FOR PEDESTRIANS AND BIKES THAT INCIDENTALLY CARS CAN DRIVE ON.
UM, AND I, I JUST, I HOPE THAT AS WE THINK ABOUT NEIGHBORHOOD GREENWAYS, WE JUST KIND OF SHIFT OUR THINKING, UH, A LITTLE BIT.
UH, I, I THINK OF WHEN I GO TO, TO PUBLIC CAMPGROUNDS, UM, VEHICLES TRAVELING THROUGH THE CAMPGROUND GO VERY SLOWLY, EVEN THOUGH THE ROADWAY MIGHT BE WIDE, THEY JUST DRIVERS SOMEHOW KNOW TO GO SLOWLY.
UM, RAINIER CROSS TOWN POLICY ENGINEER.
I GUESS THE LAST THING I'LL SAY IS, IS PERSONALLY I'VE BEEN, UH, PRETTY DISSATISFIED WITH THE, THE ROAD REDESIGNS THAT WE'RE GETTING FROM OUR TRAFFIC DESIGN CONSULTANTS.
UH, MY OWN SENSE IS THAT THEY ARE LOOKING AT OUR STREETS, UH, IN A VERY OLD, CONVENTIONAL WAY.
AND I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE AT LEAST CONSIDER USING, UH, TRAFFIC DESIGN, TRAFFIC ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS WHO ARE THINKING IN A MORE PROGRESSIVE, UH, OPEN-MINDED, INCLUSIVE WAY, WHICH, WHICH BRINGS BEAUTY INTO OUR STREETS.
UH, EMILY CHARLTON FROM THE SONOMA COUNTY BICYCLE CO BICYCLE COALITION.
UM, SO THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THIS WORK AND ALL OF THIS DISCUSSION TONIGHT, UH, ON THE NETWORK.
UM, REALLY HAPPY TO SEE SO MANY PROTECTED BIKEWAYS, UM, ON, ON BUSY STREETS, ON CONTINUING ON SOUTH MCDOWELL, UM, ON PARTS OF LAKEVILLE HIGHWAY, UM, AND OTHER ARTERIALS IN TOWN.
UM, I THINK THAT'S, THAT'S GREAT.
UH, AND WILL REALLY ENCOURAGE, UM, A LOT OF MODE SHIFT.
UM, I WOULD ENCOURAGE, UH, MORE BOLDNESS, UM, IN THE AREA AROUND THE TRAIN STATION.
UH, I KNOW THAT THAT PART OF LIKE LAKEVILLE IS, IT SOUNDS LIKE PART OF THIS CORRIDOR STUDY.
UM, BUT YOU KNOW, TODAY THERE WAS A RIBBON CUTTING FOR THE BIKE SHARE PROGRAM AT THE TRAIN STATION, AND THERE IS JUST REALLY NO GOOD WAY TO GET AROUND
UM, SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, INCREASING THE ACCESS ON AND OFF D STREET, POSSIBLY IN THE MEANTIME WHILE, UM, YOU KNOW, WHILE LAKEVILLE IS BEING STUDIED WHILE THE WHOLE WHOLE AREA IS BEING STUDIED.
BUT THAT TO ME IS REALLY A MAJOR GAP RIGHT NOW.
UH, AND A CRITICAL ONE THAT NEEDS TO BE, UM, FIXED, UH, AS YOU SEE MORE CYCLISTS DOWN THERE.
UM, I WOULD ECHO ADAM'S COMMENTS, UH, ABOUT BIKE BOULEVARDS.
UM, I THINK THOSE ARE STILL QUESTIONABLE.
I KNOW A LOT OF COMMUNITIES ARE LOOKING AT THEM NOW.
UM, UH, BUT CERTAINLY, UM, THAT ISN'T, THOSE ARE NOT ALWAYS FACILITIES THAT FEEL SAFE, UH, TO ALL, ALL RIDERS.
UM, SO ANY OPPORTUNITY TO ELEVATE, TO UPGRADE THOSE FACILITIES, I THINK SHOULD BE CONSIDERED, UH, YOU KNOW, BEYOND CLASS THREE.
UM, AND THEN LASTLY, I JUST A QUESTION ABOUT THE MAP.
UM, IT LOOKED LIKE SHALIN BERGER IS COUNTED AS A PAVE TRAIL, AND I WAS JUST CURIOUS ABOUT THAT.
UM, SINCE I SKIPPED THIS EARLIER, I NEED TO ASK THE CLERK IF WE RECEIVED ANY COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM BEFORE THE MEETING.
UH, THERE WAS ONE, UH, PRIOR POSTED, UH, PUBLIC COMMENT.
I JUST, I PUT IT IN THE WRONG SECTION, SO I'LL FIX THAT AFTER THE MEETING.
WITH THAT, I WOULD LIKE TO CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT AND BRING IT BACK TO THE COMMITTEE FOR DISCUSSION.
[02:15:01]
SO HERE WE GO AGAIN, COMMITTEE MEMBERS, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU'D LIKE TO ADD AT THIS POINT IN TIME THAT YOU FORGOT, OR IT JUST CAME TO YOU? BRIAN, AND THEN, WILLIAM, DID YOU HAVE YOUR HAND UP? IS THIS COMMENT ABOUT, ABOUT PUBLIC COMMENTS OR WE'RE WE'RE BACK TO WHERE WE WERE? WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE DISCUSSING THE SAME, THE MAPPING AND THE, THE A TP PLAN, ET CETERA, BRIAN.SO, UM, WHEN YOU BRING FORWARD THE ACTION PLAN AT THE NEXT MEETING, MAKE SURE THAT THE, CAN YOU INCLUDE LIKE AN OVERVIEW OF THE FIVE YEAR PAVING PLAN THAT TALKS JUST ABOUT THE STREETS, UM, AND MAKE SURE THAT IT'S, IT'S LINED UP.
I THINK IT'D BE GOOD FOR THIS BODY TO JUST KNOW WHAT STREETS ARE COMING AND HAVE THAT MAP FOR SURE.
UM, WITH THE ACTION PLAN, I'M TRYING TO JUST FORECAST SOME COMMENTS FOR NEXT TIME.
SO THEY, UH, IS LIKE, UM, LIKE WE'VE GOT THE BIG PAVING PROJECTS AND IF WE CAN THINK ABOUT THE ACTION PLAN OF LIKE, CONNECTING THOSE BIG LARGE CAPITAL PROJECTS TO DESTINATIONS SO THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY CREATING NETWORKS AS WE'RE DOING THOSE BIG CAPITAL PROJECTS.
UM, I'D REALLY LIKE TO SEE THAT.
DO YOU MEAN, UM, LIKE IF A PAVING PROJECT, IT DOESN'T QUITE GET YOU ALL THE WAY TO A SHOPPING CENTER OR, OR KEY DESTINATION YEAH.
COMPLIMENTING THAT WITH MAYBE A QUICK BUILD PROJECT THAT COMPLETES IT.
YEAH, THE LOGIC MAKES THE LOGICAL CONNECTION OR LIKE IN A, A STREET THAT, THAT INTERSECTS WITH IT SOMEWHERE, BUT IT'S PART OF OUR, OUR BIKE PLAN, RIGHT? MM-HMM.
WE ACTUALLY CREATE, YOU KNOW, A MILE OF CONNECTED PROTECTED BIKE LANES OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
AT THE TIME, UM, I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING ON CHERRY STREET, BUT IT FEELS LIKE CHERRY STREET'S SORT OF ONE OF THOSE UNIQUE STREETS THAT CONNECTS INTO CHERRY VALLEY THAT'S KIND OF FLAT.
AND I, UM, AND IT'S GETTING PAVED IN 2026.
SO SOMETHING TO LOOK AT ON THERE.
AND THEN DEFINITELY ECHO THE COMMENT ABOUT JUST NEEDING MORE INNOVATION AROUND THE TRAIN STATION IN A PRETTY SHORT ORDER, TO BE HONEST.
ANYONE ELSE CHANCE TO MAKE COMMENT? SO OUR TASK TODAY WAS TO REVIEW THIS SECTION OF THE A TP PLAN AND THEN TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS, WHICH WE'VE DONE.
UM, WE HAVE NO FURTHER COMMENTS.
SO IF THAT'S THE CASE, THEN I'D LIKE TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM.
AND I JUST REALLY QUICKLY, 'CAUSE THERE WAS OH, SURE.
UM, SO YEAH, WE DO, WE, WE HAVE THE SCHOENBERGER LOOP SHOWING AS PAVED.
UM, OBVIOUSLY THERE'S AN EXISTING, I'D SAY ABOUT A THIRD OF IT IS CURRENTLY PAVED ALONG THE KIND OF THE WESTERNMOST SIDE OF THE LOOP.
UM, SO YEAH, WE ARE, WE ARE SHOWING, COMPLETING THAT PAVING, UM, JUST TO, YOU KNOW, FURTHER ENHANCE THE ACCESSIBILITY OF, OF THE PARK.
IF THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION.
I THINK THE, THE PRIORITY WOULD BE THE SECTION ALONG THAT RIVER TRAIL ALIGNMENT THAT I WAS KIND OF SHOWING THAT GETS YOU OUT TO ELLIS CREEK AND, AND KAISER.
BUT, UM, BUT, BUT WE ARE, YEAH, WE'RE SHOWING THE FULL LOOP.
AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR, UH, THIS WAS A, I KNOW A, A BIG, UH, ASK TO GO THROUGH THIS IN SUCH DETAILED FASHION, BUT IT'S IMPORTANT WE HAD TO DO IT, SO I'M THANK YOU.
IT ALSO WOULD'VE BEEN NICE IF WE'D BEEN AT A ROUND TABLE.
BUT OUR MEETINGS DON'T QUITE PROVIDE FOR THAT, DO THEY? SO I KNOW.
SO THANK YOU FOR, UH, THANK YOU FOR THAT.
AND IF ANYTHING ELSE COMES TO MIND, LIKE I SAID, PLEASE SUBMIT COMMENTS BY EMAIL AND, AND WE'LL GET THIS OUT SO, UH, OTHERS CAN, CAN DO THE SAME VERY WELL.
[COMMITTEE COMMENT]
UH, AGENDA ITEM IS COMMITTEE COMMENT.AND DURING THIS TIME, MEMBERS ARE INVITED TO BRIEFLY SHARE UPDATES, UH, WITH RELEVANCE TO THIS COMMITTEE, INCLUDING LIAISON REPORTS FROM OTHER CITY BODIES AND MAKE REQUESTS FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS AS ANOTHER EXAMPLE.
IS THERE ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO, AND NOT EVERYONE IS REQUIRED TO MAKE PUBLIC COMMENT, BUT IF THERE IS SOMETHING YOU'D LIKE TO SAY OTHER THAN, I THINK I JUST WANNA SAY TO IN THE BEGINNING, I THINK WE HAVE THREE NEW BABIES ON THIS COMMITTEE.
WE HAVE, I THINK BRIAN'S IS NOW THE OLDEST AND YOURS WAS BORN, UH, SEVEN 11.
AND IS THIS GIRL BOY SIMONE A GIRL, SIMONE.
AND BJORN ALSO, UH, YEAH, OLIVER IS, UH, UM, TURNED A MONTH OLD YESTERDAY.
WE'RE, WE'RE WORKING ON BOTH GENDERS.
I JUST NEEDED TO SAY THAT FIRST.
[02:20:01]
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO COMMENT ABOUT? BRIAN? UM, CONGRATS TO FRANK ON HIS, UH, ELECTION, UH, LAST NIGHT.UM, EXCITED TO HAVE HIM ON THE CITY COUNCIL.
UM, AT THE LAST MEETING, THE COUNCIL ADOPTED OUR CLIMATE BLUEPRINT.
BJORN BRIEFLY MENTIONED THAT, BUT THERE WAS, YOU KNOW, A WHOLE SLEW OF MODE SHIFT AND STUFF IN THERE FROM TRANSPORTATION, DEMAND MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS, PARKING MANAGEMENT, UM, AND JUST A WHOLE MESS OF THINGS THAT ARE GONNA IMPACT THIS BODY, UM, AND GIVE US PLENTY TO THINK ABOUT.
AND THEN I ALSO MENTIONED THE FIVE YEAR PAVING PLAN, WHICH I'M GLAD THAT WE'LL GET A, AN OVERVIEW OF BECAUSE IT REALLY LIKE, AGAIN, ONCE YOU SEE THE STREETS THAT ARE SLATED AND HOW WE'RE PLANNING TO SPEND THE BUDGET THAT WE HAVE OVER THE NEXT $60 MILLION OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, UM, I'M SURE YOUR HEADS WILL BE SPINNING WITH HOW WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE IMPROVING OUR FACILITIES AND ANYONE ELSE.
UM, JUST, OH, ONE QUICK COMMENT.
UH, SOMETHING THAT'S GOING UNDERWAY AT SCTA THAT MIGHT BE WORTH BRINGING TO THIS COMMITTEE.
UM, SCTA HAS CURRENTLY EXPLORING HOW TO SET UP, UM, A VMT MITIGATION PROGRAM, UM, FOR THE COUNTY.
SO FOR LARGE PROJECTS THAT GENERATE EXCESSIVE VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED, UM, ABOVE A CERTAIN THRESHOLD WOULD BE REQUIRED TO, UM, SOMEHOW PAY INTO OR SUPPORT, UH, PROJECTS THAT HELP REDUCE VMT.
UM, THERE'S STILL AN OPEN DISCUSSION, EXPLORATION OF WHAT EXACTLY THAT PROGRAM MIGHT, MIGHT BE, UM, BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT, FOR INSTANCE, SOME OF THESE PROJECTS, CROSS TOWN PROJECTS, UM, WOULD ABSOLUTELY HELP REDUCE VMT IF YOU OFFER PEOPLE A SAFE ROUTE TO CROSS TOWN THAT'S, UM, ON BICYCLE.
SO, UM, IF THAT'S OF INTEREST, WE CAN MAYBE ADD THAT TO THE LIST ONCE IT GETS A LITTLE BIT MORE HAMMERED OUT.
IF YOU'D LIKE MORE DETAILS ABOUT IT, UM, I'D BE HAPPY TO TALK TO YOU ALSO, UM, OFFLINE ABOUT THAT AS WELL.
WILLIAM, DID YOU HAVE FRANK? YES, I'D LIKE TO RECIPROCATE AND, UH, CONGRATULATE BRIAN ON HIS WELL FOUGHT, HARD EARNED WIN.
UM, ALSO AS YOUR, UM, INFORMAL LIAISON TO THE TRANSIT ADVISORY COMMITTEE, UM, THE, I JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE, UM, SOME OF THE GREAT WORK THAT OUR CITY IS DOING IN THE REALM OF TRANSIT.
UH, WE STARTED WITH, UM, UH, MAKING, UH, TRANSIT FAIR FREE.
UH, THAT'S BEEN, WE, WE, WE'VE SEEN RIDERSHIP CONTINUE TO INCREASE, AND THAT'S BEEN A GREAT WELL RECEIVED PROGRAM.
UH, OUR CITY HAS LAUNCHED LUGO, UH, AND, UH, AND I CONTINUE TO HEAR, UH, REALLY EXCITING THINGS ABOUT THAT.
ARE YOU ALL AWARE OF LUGO? UM, AND SO, AND WE ALSO SEE, UM, YOU KNOW, IN ADDITION TO THE BEAUTIFUL BIKE RACKS THAT HAVE POPPED UP DOWNTOWN, UH, WE'RE NOW SEEING THE, THE MICRO TRANSIT, UH, WHAT IS IT, REDWOOD, UM, THE, THE ELECTRIC BIKES.
UM, SO THOSE ARE OUT AND ABOUT.
AND SO ALL OF THOSE MICRO TRANSIT OPTIONS THAT WE'RE STARTING TO SEE, I THINK ARE, UM, JUST OFFER A TREMENDOUS BENEFIT TO OUR COMMUNITY.
AND FOR ME PERSONALLY, THE THING THAT I ENJOY ABOUT THIS COMMITTEE AND TRANSIT IS I THINK, UH, YOU, FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, THEY'RE BOTH EQUALLY.
UM, UH, OR, OR THEY'RE, THEY'RE JUST REALLY IMPORTANT FOR OUR CLIMATE FUTURE.
UH, IF WE THINK ABOUT PETALUMA TRANSITIONING TO A CLIMATE RESILIENT COMMUNITY, IT'S GOING TO INVOLVE IT, IT HAS TO, UH, INCORPORATE A, A WELL THOUGHT OUT ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN, UM, AND, AND A ROBUST, UH, TRANSIT NETWORK.
SO, UH, BJORN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR WORK THAT YOU'VE PUT INTO THAT.
OH, MONDAY IS VETERANS DAY, UH, AND I BELIEVE WE HAVE A VETERANS DAY PARADE.
UM, AND, UH, SO I HOPE TO, TO SEE, UH, ANY OF YOU THERE THAT, UM, THAT, UH, WISH TO PART OR ARE GONNA BE THERE TO, TO OBSERVE.
THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THAT.
THAT'S A GREAT, A GREAT REMEMBRANCE.
I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER MISSED ONE.
ANYONE ELSE? OKAY, THEN WE ARE GOING TO CLOSE COMMITTEE COMMENT AND MOVE TO STAFF COMMENT
[STAFF COMMENT]
NOW AS BJORN'S TURN TO TELL US ALL THE THINGS THAT HE'S BEEN INVOLVED WITH[02:25:01]
LATELY.WELL, ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW,
BUT, UM, HAPPY TO SHARE A COUPLE OF UPDATES TODAY.
AND THEN, UM, SOME IN OUR PRESENTATION, SOME, SOME, UH, IN MY BROWSER.
I'VE GOT A BUNCH OF WEBPAGE UP TO SHARE WITH YOU GUYS.
SO, UM, COUPLE WEEKS BACK, OUR ON-CALL STRIPING CONTRACTOR WENT OVER AND ADDED BUFFERED BIKE LANES TO REDWOOD WAY.
THAT'S A, UM, IT'S A GOOD STREET TO KNOW ABOUT.
IT'S UP IN THE, THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF TOWN.
UH, IF YOU'RE EVER RIDING ON NORTH MCDOWELL, PAST HENHOUSE LAGUNITAS AND YOU WANT TO GET, YOU WANT TO GO NORTHBOUND ON OLD RED OLD REDWOOD HIGHWAY TOWARDS PEN GROVE, UM, TAKE A RIGHT ON REDWOOD WAY AND YOU WILL GET AROUND THE NORTH MCDOWELL OLD REDWOOD HIGHWAY INTERSECTION OR VICE VERSA IF YOU'RE COMING SOUTHBOUND, UH, INTO TOWN FROM PEN GROVE.
THERE IS A SIGNALED INTERSECTION, UM, AT REDWOOD, SO YOU CAN TAKE THAT LEFT.
AND, UH, AND THAT WOULD JUST GET AROUND THAT, THAT KIND OF TRICKY INTERSECTION.
SO, UM, GOT THOSE BUFFERED BIKE LANES IN.
AS YOU CAN SEE, HERE'S WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE BEFORE VERY LITTLE.
I MEAN, THE CENTER LINE DIDN'T EVEN MOVE.
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF REALLOCATING EIGHT FEET OF UNUSED, UNUSED SPACE OUT THERE.
UM, WE ALSO JUST GOT NEW CROSSWALKS IN AND BOUTS AND, UH, SOON TO BE MEDIAN ISLANDS AT, UM, SIXTH AND SEA STREET.
UH, THAT'S BEEN A, A REQUEST WE'VE, WE'VE RECEIVED, UM, A HANDFUL OF TIMES.
UH, SO HAPPY TO, TO HAVE OUR STRIPING CONTRACTOR, HE HAD BANDWIDTH TO, TO GO GET THAT IN.
UM, WE WILL BE ADDING, UH, SOME LITTLE PADDLES IN THE MEDIAN AREA WITH THE STATE LAW YIELD THE PEDESTRIAN SIGNAGE.
UM, AND SO HOPEFULLY A, A GOOD IMPROVEMENT THERE.
AND THEN OUR ON-CALL CONCRETE CONTRACTOR JUST DID THE NEW BOUTS AT THE KENTUCKY STREET CROSSWALK.
UM, AND THIS IS A GOOD LITTLE PREVIEW OF WHAT WE WILL BE ALSO DOING AT THE NORTH END OF, OR THE EAST SIDE OF THE MCKENZIE OVERCROSSING, UH, WHERE WE'LL BE DOING A BULL BOUT THAT IS BASICALLY IDENTICAL TO THIS.
UM, ANY GUESSES ON THE COST OF DOING THIS WORK FOR TWO OF THESE TWO, OR I, I'LL JUST SAY FOR ONE OF THESE BULL BOUTS, 10 GRAND.
UH, SO ABOUT, UH, ABOUT 30 K EACH, UM, FOR THESE, UH, YOU WOULD NEVER BELIEVE IT LOOKING AT IT, BUT THIS STUFF IS, IS IT BELOW GROUND? YEAH, I MEAN, THEY, THEY, THEY DEMOLISH, UH, A A PRETTY LARGE AREA AND THEN OBVIOUSLY, UM, COME BACK IN.
BUT, UH, DO YOU WANT MINE? UH, THAT'S FINE.
THAT'S, WE CAN TRADE, YOU CAN TAKE ALL OF OURS.
ANYWAYS, IT'S A GREAT, UM, IT'S JUST GREAT TO HAVE THESE ON-CALL CONTRACTS BECAUSE PREVIOUSLY WE WOULD'VE HAD TO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, YOU KNOW, $65,000 WORTH OF IMPROVEMENTS WOULD'VE BEEN PUT OUT TO BID.
UM, AND THAT WOULD'VE ADDED JUST MONTHS OF TIME TO THIS PROCESS AND A LOT OF, A LOT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AND WORK AND STAFF TIME.
SO HAVING A CONTRACTOR THAT WE CAN JUST CALL UP AND SAY, YOU KNOW, TELL US WHEN YOU HAVE BANDWIDTH, HERE'S WHAT WE WANT YOU TO DO, UM, IS, IS GREAT OUR NEXT SAFE AND WE HAVE MORE WORK COMING.
SO, UM, TOMORROW AND FRIDAY, UH, YOU'LL SEE BIKE LANES GOING IN ON SUNNY SLOPE AVENUE BETWEEN D STREET AND I STREET.
UM, WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY ALSO, WE'RE GONNA BE ADDING A CROSSWALK IN THAT WAS JUST REQUESTED LAST MONTH AT OUR SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL WALK AUDIT AT MCNAIR.
SO, UM, CONTINUING TO TRY TO, YOU KNOW, JUST BE REALLY RESPONSIVE WITH THESE, WITH THESE PROJECTS.
AND, UM, AND LIKE I SAID, I THINK KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR HOPEFULLY THAT MACKENZIE RAMP GOES IN SOON.
UM, AND OUR NEXT SAFE ROUTES MEETING WILL BE THURSDAY, THE 21ST, FOUR O'CLOCK AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
AND, UM, OUR WALK AUDIT IS NEXT TUESDAY, UH, IN THE AF WHERE WE'LL BE OBSERVING THE AFTERNOON PICKUP, WHICH IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN US.
USUALLY WE DO THE MORNING DROP OFF.
UM, THERE ARE OUR UPCOMING AGENDA ITEMS. UH, I JUST ADDED A BULLET FOR THE VEHICLE.
MILES TRAVELED MITIGATION BANKING, WHICH ADAM MENTIONED.
AND AS ALWAYS, FEEL FREE TO EMAIL MYSELF AND OUR CHAIR MARJA WITH ADDITIONAL ITEMS. AND I AM QUICKLY GOING TO HIGHLIGHT
[02:30:01]
A COUPLE WEBPAGE, UM, THAT I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO ADD TO THIS PRESENTATION.SO FRANK MENTIONED, UH, REDWOOD RIDES, THE BIKE SHARE SYSTEM.
THEY JUST DID KIND OF A SOFT LAUNCH.
I DON'T THINK THEY'RE LIVE IN EVERY CITY, BUT WE WERE AMONG THE FIRST.
UM, SO THEIR WEBSITE IS REDWOOD BIKE SHARE.COM DOWN, UH, YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE APP ON BOTH APPLE AND ANDROID, AND THAT WILL ALLOW YOU TO, UM, SEE WHERE THE BIKES ARE AND ALSO, UM, UH, CHECK THEM OUT, UM, OR RENT THEM OUT.
SO I'LL SHOW YOU THE SERVICE AREA.
WHERE ARE THE BIKES? WHAT'S THAT? WHERE ARE THE BIKES? THAT'S WHAT I WAS JUST GOING.
THEY'VE GOT A SERVICE AREA, UM, LINK ON THEIR WEBSITE, AND THEN IF YOU GO TO THAT, YOU CAN SEE JUST, UH, I CAN'T ZOOM OUT NOW, BUT, UM, THIS PROGRAM IS ACTIVE IN EVERY CITY WITH A SMART STATION.
AND UM, ALTHOUGH RIGHT NOW IT'S LARKSBURG SANTA RAFAEL, PETALUMA, TATI RUNNER PARK, SO I THINK THEY STILL HAVE YET TO LAUNCH IN NOVATO AND SANTA ROSA.
UM, SO THESE ARE THE HUBS WITHIN OUR DOWNTOWN AREA.
UH, RIGHT NOW THEY'RE JUST USING THE EXISTING, THE BIKE CORRALS THAT WE INSTALLED THIS SUMMER.
UM, AND THEN THEY'VE ALSO GOT SOME AT THE SMART STATION, AND THEY'VE GOT SOME RIGHT NEAR, UH, WHERE LYNCH CREEK TRAIL JUMPS OUT ONTO WATER STREET.
SO THAT'S KIND OF THE DOWNTOWN AREA.
UM, THEY'VE GOT SOME OVER AT THE, I BELIEVE THEY'RE AT THE, THEY'RE AT THE LIBRARY OR SWIM CENTER.
UM, LOOKS LIKE SOME AT, OH, THE COMMUNITY CENTER RIGHT OUT FRONT.
AND THERE WILL BE MORE COMING ONLINE.
THEY'RE ALSO TALKING TO, I BELIEVE, TO SRJC.
AND THEN WE HAVE A HANDFUL OF OTHER LOCATIONS WHERE, UM, WE ARE, UH, WORKING WITH THEM ON ADDING SOME ADDITIONAL, UM, HUBS.
WE'VE ALSO ASKED THEM, I'M NOT SURE, I'LL HAVE TO CHECK TO SEE IF THEY'VE IMPLEMENTED THIS.
UM, BUT YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE THIS AS USER-FRIENDLY AS POSSIBLE.
WE TOLD THEM WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO HAVE PEOPLE, UM, NOT FEEL LIKE THEY NEED TO RETURN THEIR BIKES TO THE DESIGNATED HUBS IN OUR DOWNTOWN AREA BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF BIKE RACKS THROUGHOUT THE DOWNTOWN.
SO HOPEFULLY WHEN YOU'RE USING IT ON THE APP, UM, YOU CAN SEE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO ACTUALLY RETURN IT TO ONE OF THOSE HUBS MARKED WITH A, UM, YELLOW, UH, MARKER HERE.
BUT THAT YOU COULD USE ANY BIKE RACK DOWNTOWN.
AND THEN WHAT THEY'LL DO IS THEIR OPERATION STAFF WOULD COME AND GRAB THAT BIKE AND THEN MOVE IT BACK TO A HUB.
BUT WE'RE JUST TRYING TO MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A CONVENIENT EXPERIENCE, AT LEAST IN PETALUMA, UM, AND, AND TESTING THAT OUT.
SO AGAIN, REDWOOD BIKE SHARE.COM.
GOING TO MY NEXT TAB, UM, SCTA IS, UM, IF YOU GO TO THEIR HOMEPAGE, THEY'VE GOT A SURVEY FOR THEIR COMPREHENSIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN.
SO THEY'RE UPDATING OUR, OUR COUNTYWIDE TRANSPORTATION PLAN.
UM, AND THEY'VE GOT A, A KIND OF A SURVEY ASKING PRETTY LIKE HIGH LEVEL QUESTIONS ABOUT PEOPLE'S, WHAT THEY'D LIKE TO SEE IMPROVED, UH, AS FAR AS GETTING AROUND SONOMA COUNTY.
ADAM, ANY ADDITIONAL CONTEXT TO ADD THERE OR, UM, YEAH, WE'RE, THE SURVEYS WE'VE RECEIVED SO FAR ARE, UM, OLDER ADULT, OLDER ADULTS THAT DON'T HAVE CHILDREN ARE LIKE 75% OF OUR RESULTS.
UM, OUR SURVEYS, UH, UH, ENTRIES.
SO YEAH, IF IT'S TO BE A GREAT PUSH TO JUST GET MORE DIVERSITY, UM, ACROSS, YEAH, RACE, INCOME, CHILDREN LEVEL.
SO PLEASE SPREAD FAR AND WIDE IF YOU CAN.
UH, ALSO ON GOING ON WITH SCTA, IF YOU GO TO THEIR WEB, IF YOU GO TO THEIR HOMEPAGE, WHAT WE DO, AND THEN COUNTYWIDE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN THAT TAKES YOU TO THIS PAGE, YOU CAN SIGN UP FOR EMAIL UPDATES.
UM, AND THEN ALSO IF YOU CLICK THIS LINK, YOU WILL THEN SEE ALL OF THE DIFFERENT PLANS THAT ARE BEING UPDATED THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY RIGHT NOW BY SCTA AND THEIR CONSULTANT.
SO, UM, THESE ARE ALL OPEN FOR PUBLIC COMMENT RIGHT NOW.
YOU CAN LOOK AT THEIR DRAFT PLANS AND LIKE WE MENTIONED, I THINK REALLY THE KEY ONE FOR US IS THE UNINCORPORATED PLAN, WHICH WE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF A, YOU GOT A SNEAK PEEK OF IT TONIGHT WITH THE NETWORK.
UM, AND WE'LL BE SURE TO LET YOU ALL KNOW WHEN THEY'VE GOT A MAP AND PLAN OUT FOR, UM, FORMAL PUBLIC COMMENT.
UH, AND THEN GOING TO THE CITY'S WEBSITE, CITY OF PETALUMA.ORG/STREET
[02:35:02]
PAVEMENT, UM, IS WHERE YOU CAN FIND OUR INTERACTIVE MAP WITH THAT FIVE YEAR PAVEMENT PLAN.UM, SO WE'VE GOT, WE'RE SHOWING EVERYTHING OUT TO 2030.
THESE STREETS WERE IDENTIFIED BY NOT ONLY THEIR PAVEMENT CONDITION, BUT ALSO, UM, THEY WERE PRIORITIZED WITH A SEVERAL FACTORS, UM, ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION LINKAGES, UM, CONNECTION OR PROXIMITY TO SCHOOLS AND PARKS, UH, COLLISION HISTORY, HIGH INJURY NETWORK.
UM, AND IT BASICALLY SPIT OUT, UH, A LIST THAT WE PACKAGED TOGETHER.
AND, UH, OUR TEAM PRESENTED TO CITY COUNCIL ON MONDAY.
IT WAS ADOPTED, I BELIEVE, WITHOUT ANY CHANGES.
SO WHAT YOU SEE HERE IS, UH, THIS IS OUR WORK PLAN NOW FOR THE NEXT, UM, NEXT FIVE TO SIX YEARS.
UH, AS FAR AS PAVING PROJECTS GO, AND THE, SO IF YOU CLICK ON, UH, THE COLORS DENOTE THE YEAR, UM, IF YOU CLICK ON A LINE, YOU WILL SEE THE STREET NAME, THE CURRENT PAVEMENT CONDITION INDEX FROM A SCALE OF ZERO TO 100, AND THEN THE YEAR THAT IT'S, UH, SLATED FOR IMPROVEMENT.
UM, I WILL NOTE THAT NOT ALL OF, SOME OF THESE ARE LIKE FULL PAVEMENT RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS WHERE WE'RE, YOU KNOW, RIPPING OUT THE ROAD AND PUTTING DOWN A COMPLETELY NEW PAVEMENT SECTION.
SOME OF THESE ARE JUST LIKE SLURRY SEALS, WHICH ARE, YOU KNOW, A VERY THIN COAT THAT IS, UM, BASICALLY INTENDED AS PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE TO PRESERVE THE LIGHT, EXTEND THE LIFESPAN OF THE PAVEMENT.
SO, UM, SO LIKE THIS, FOR EXAMPLE, THE RIVERFRONT NEIGHBORHOOD BRAND NEW, THESE ARE ALL SLURRY SEALS.
UM, PAYAN STREET UP HERE WHERE IT'S, YOU KNOW, THE PCI, IF YOU SEE A LOW PCI, THAT MEANS IT'S GONNA BE COMPLETELY RECONSTRUCTED IF YOU SEE A HIGH PCI THAT'S JUST PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE, UH, SLURRY SEAL, BUT WE'VE GOT IT ALL IN ONE PLACE SO THAT PEOPLE, SO EITHER WAY, THESE ARE, THESE ARE THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR US, OBVIOUSLY TO MAKE THOSE, UM, IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT WITH THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN.
SO, UH, GREAT RESOURCE AND A GREAT TOOL WHEN FOR, UH, THE NUMBER ONE QUESTION THAT WE RECEIVE AT THE CITY, WHICH IS, WHEN IS MY STREET GOING TO BE PAVED?
UM, I'M HOPE, DON'T FORGET, SEND US THE UP.
UPDATED LINK TO THE MAP AND ALSO THE POWERPOINT FOR TONIGHT'S A TP PRESENTATION ALONG WITH THE POWERPOINT WITH YOUR COMMENTS.
AND ALONG THOSE LINES, IF WE COULD HAVE THOSE BEFORE THE MEETING STARTS, WE WOULD HAVE MORE TO ADD, I THINK IN OUR COMMENT SECTION IF WE WERE TO SEE, AND I UNDERSTAND WHY SOMETIMES THERE'S A DELAY, BUT JUST AS A REMINDER, IF WE COULD GET THEM BEFORE OUR NEXT MEETING, THAT WOULD BE LOVELY.
ALRIGHT, WITH THAT, I BELIEVE WE ARE ADJOURNED AT NINE, WHAT IS THAT? 9 0 8.
AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING.
