A
And
we
can
go
ahead
and
get
started
tony,
do
you
want
to
call
the
roll?
Yes
yep.
A
Great,
thank
you.
So
I
don't
see
any
items
to
review
for
the
work
plan
and
council
member
depp
has
joined
us.
Hello.
C
A
Just
in
time,
we're
reviewing
the
consent
calendar.
A
D
Great.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
that
it's
a
good
way
to
start
your
new
process.
This
fall
with
the
airport
commission.
They
do
some
really
good,
detailed
work
and
I'd
like
to
thank
them
at
this
time.
There
was
quite
a
to-do.
You
know
in
the
last
few
years
about
high-rise
developments
in
the
airport
runway
and
the
airport
commission.
D
I
think
really
tried
to
do
a
great
job
to
offer
a
very
sober
account
of
actually
how
to
talk
about
the
future
of
high-rises.
In
that
area.
They
were
fully
giving
to
the
ideas
of
the
sjda
city,
government
and
google.
You
know
on
their
on
their
proposals,
but
simply
offered
what
I
felt
was
a
really
sober
assessment
and
real
decent
way
to
to
to
monitor
to
and
to
gauge
the
future
of
the
high-rise
situation,
and
I
I
can't
thank
them
enough
for
those
for
that
work
and
effort
that
they
did.
D
What
we
all
went
through
during
that
time
was
a
lot,
and
you
know
all
sides
contributed
to,
I
think,
trying
to
address
basically
the
situation
we
are
now
in,
and
that
takes
a
lot
of
courage
and
everyone
was
heroic
for
that.
Now.
It's
out
of
that
time
period.
I
hope
we
can
really.
You
know,
sit
down
and
address
what
the
airport
commission
is
working
towards
and
saying
at
that
time
and
really
respect
what
they've
had
to
say
overall
and
again
just
a
a
thank
you
to
their
work
and
their
efforts.
D
A
A
A
F
A
Thank
you
and
tony,
I
think
raul
will
not
be
able
to
make
it
today.
A
G
Yeah,
I
think
thank
you,
councilmember
and
we're
actually
really
pleased
to
be
here.
It's
been
a
while,
since
we've
had
the
tne
committee,
so
we've
got
two
items
today.
The
first
one
up
is
the
better
bike
plan.
Both
jessica
and
john
brazile
are
going
to
present
this
one.
So
I
think
it
it's
a
great
plan
and
we
just
want
to
get
started
on
it,
so
I'm
just
going
to
turn
it
over
to
jess
and
get
her
started
on
presentation.
G
H
So
as
john
will
go
into
much
further
and
we're
happy
to
take
your
questions
and
comments
about
this.
Is
the
city's
proposed
second
bike
plan?
Our
first
bike
plan
was
adopted
in
2009
and
a
lot
of
times.
We
we
adopt
plans
and
then
they
sit
on
on
shelves
and
we're
really
proud
that
in
that
plan
bike
plan,
2020
adopted
in
2009,
we
set
forth
a
vision
for
400
miles
of
on-street
bikeways
to
complement
our
trail
system,
and
today
we
have
392
of
those
miles
in
place.
H
A
I
I
I
I
think
this
slide
is
really
fascinating.
San
jose
has
historical
roots
in
bicycling
and
they
run
deep.
For
example,
in
1884
san
jose's
first
fight
club
was
formed.
They
were
known
as
the
garden
city
cyclers
and
in
1895
san
jose's
adelia
allen.
An
african-american
woman
set
the
world
mile
coast
record.
She
was
a
member
of
the
african-american
san
jose
cyclers
racing
club
in
1936.
I
I
Please,
before
we
just
describe
the
draft
plan,
it's
helpful
to
understand
a
few
key
points.
This
plan
is
based
on.
I
know
most
of
you
aren't
familiar
with
this
so,
but
it's
helpful
just
to
remind
folks
first
here
are
pictures
of
different
types
of
bike
facilities
we
refer
to
in
this
plan.
Don't
worry
about
the
details.
What's
important
is
that
as
we'll
see
later
in
this
presentation,
our
surveys
found
most
people
prefer
the
three
facilities
you
see
on
your
left.
First
shared
use
paths
also
known
as
trails.
I
I
Please
now,
for
the
second
key
point,
using
traditional
practices
of
the
past
building,
these
low
stress
bikeways
took
a
long
time
and
cost
a
lot
to
address
those
challenges.
This
plan
recommends
using
a
quick,
build
construction
strategy
which
you
may
have
seen
in
the
downtown
area,
with
our
better
bikeways
project.
I
I
Over
the
last
two
years,
city
staff
and
consultants
have
been
busy
looking
at
existing
conditions
talking
with
neighbors
and
community
groups,
to
understand
their
goals
and
developing
this
plan.
This
effort
began
with
outreach
to
understand
how
people
think
about
biking
and
what
their
perceived
barriers
to
biking
are
as
we'll
see
in
a
moment,
the
outreach
and
engagement
effort
dug
deep
and
wide,
with
an
emphasis
on
one
gathering,
underrepresented
voices
and
getting
meaningful
feedback
and
two
creating
a
plan.
That's
meant
for
everyone
next
slide.
Please.
I
The
role
of
these
cbo's
has
been
to
host
meetings,
workshops
and
events
about
the
bike
plan
within
their
communities
to
attend
community
working
groups
to
assist
with
translation
and
interpreting
needs
to
review
materials
and
review
the
draft
plan.
Their
efforts
included
hosting
meetings
in
spanish
and
vietnamese
the
lower
photo
shows
a
vivo
organized
meeting
held
entirely
in
vietnamese
and
I'll
just
add
that
these
efforts
really
emphasized
reaching
out
to
people
who
don't
already
bike,
because
it's
we
don't
want
to
just
be
reaching
the
choir.
So
to
speak.
I
We
want
to
reach
people
who
aren't
yet
biking,
we'll
talk
more
about
that
in
a
moment,
outreach
included
presentations,
gaining
feedback
from
local
community
groups,
tabling
at
events
and
hosting
workshops.
All
outreach
included
materials
or
translation
services
in
vietnamese
and
spanish
outreach
also
included
online
surveys
and
the
wonderful
project
website
at
bike,
san
jose
dot
com,
which
includes
a
detailed
wiki
map
and
comment
tool.
During
the
project
we
hosted
three
technical
advisory
committee
committee
meetings
and
gave
presentations
five
times
to
the
city's
bicycle
and
pedestrian
advisory
committee
receiving
great
feedback.
I
We
also
hosted
focus
groups,
including
one
exclusively
in
vietnamese,
that
I
mentioned
earlier
and
again
shown
in
the
picture
on
the
lower
right
and
during
covid.
We
pivoted
to
online
outreach,
including
12
community
group
presentations
and
two
live
town
halls
which
were
available
for
later
viewing
online.
I
So
I
find
this
slide
really
fascinating.
Our
sub-consultants
emc
research
conducted
a
detailed
survey
in
three
languages,
and
this
slide
highlights
a
key
takeaway.
The
map
on
the
left
slide
shows
that
currently,
the
percent
of
people
who
bike
now
is
moderately
high,
ranging
from
six
to
twenty
three
percent,
depending
on
what
council
district.
I
But
on
the
right
we
see
the
percent
of
people
who,
from
the
survey
said
they
want
to
bike
more
and
it's
two
to
seven
times
as
high
ranging
from
42
to
66.
So
that
is
a
really
promising
survey
result.
This
information
aligns
with
what
we
heard
during
outreach.
Many
people
want
to
bike
more,
but
they
don't
always
feel
safe.
I
I
I
With
this
information
from
our
community
engagement
and
survey,
we
set
strategies
on
how
to
advance
the
three
plan
goals,
which
of
course,
are
increasing
safety,
increasing
bike
mode
share
and
increasing
equity.
First,
since
most
trips
are
not
commute
trips
to
work,
we
focused
on
all
trip
purposes,
such
as
shopping
and
trips
to
school.
I
I
The
recommended
bike
network
is
a
key
part
of
the
plan.
It's
based
on
deep
analysis
by
the
consultants
and
dot
it
includes
information
and
related
plans,
such
as
the
city's
vision,
zero
plan
and
the
old
bike
plan
network
analysis
that
looks
at
safety
and
equity
goals,
tools
that
measured
traffic
stress
and
outcome,
and
connectivity,
as
well
as
community
input
from
a
variety
of
sources.
I
Here's
some
of
the
work
from
the
bike
network
development.
The
map
on
the
left,
shows
bicycle
level
of
traffic
stress
red
streets
are
more
stressful
to
bygone,
and
blue
streets
are
more
comfortable
to
bike
on
on
the
right.
Neighborhoods
in
darker
red
have
more
characteristics
that
indicate
higher
demand
for
bicycling.
I
I
I
Based
on
the
work,
I've
just
summarized:
here's
the
total
network
map
of
existing
and
planned
bikeways.
Don't
don't
worry
about
the
details
from
this
slide,
we'll
be
able
to
zoom
in
on
the
wikimap
and
talk
more
about
it?
In
general,
we
plan
for
separated
bike
lanes
on
bigger
busier
streets
and
bike
boulevards
on
smaller
calmer
streets
to
see
details.
The
project
website,
bike,
san
jose
dot
com,
includes
a
zoomable
interactive
map
and
provides
details
on
specific
streets
now
I'll
show
a
few
highlights
from
this
map
next
slide.
Please.
I
This
plan
recommends
that
most
new
on-street
bikeways
be
low
stress,
which
means,
of
course,
either
separated
by
claims
or
bike
boulevards
on
calm
streets.
Many
existing
basic
bike
lanes
will
be
enhanced
to
become
separated
bike
lanes.
This
map
shows
the
recommended
network
of
separated
bike
lanes
totaling
nearly
400
miles
next
slide.
Please.
I
I
The
long-term
goal
is
to
eventually
complete
a
city-wide
network
of
low-stress
bikeways.
However,
however,
because
the
city
is
so
large
and
this
effort
focuses
on
the
next
five
years,
the
consultant
team
analyzed
different
parts
of
the
city
to
see
where
we
should
start
work
to
most
effectively
advance
the
three
plan
goals,
which
of
course,
are
mode
shift
safety
and
equity
to
accomplish
this
consultants
emphasized
use
of
quick,
build
strategies
and
coordination
with
other
programs
such
as
the
city's
annual
pavement
program
and
the
city's
green
stormwater
infrastructure
program.
I
This
analysis
identified
the
five
focus
areas
shown
on
this
map.
In
these
focus
areas,
we
will
use
quick,
build
strategies
to
create
smaller,
connected
networks
that
emphasize
shorter
trips
and
bike
plus
transit
trips.
This
map
is
also
viewable
on
the
project
website's
interactive
map
at
bikesan
jose.com
next
slide.
Please.
I
In
addition
to
a
network
of
bike
facilities,
this
plan
also
recommends
policies
and
programs
to
achieve
the
three
plan:
goals
of
mode
shift,
safety
and
equity
in
developing
these
recommendations,
san
jose
and
the
consultant
team
studied
best
practices
of
cities
with
high
rates
of
bicycling
best
practice.
Examples
of
encouragement
include
improving
weight,
finding
signs
and
expanding
bike
to
school
programs,
best
practice,
examples
of
policies
to
make
bike
biking
safe,
include,
lowering
speed
limits
and
restricting
motor
vehicle
right
turns
best
practice.
I
Next
slide,
please,
as
you
know,
our
customers
don't
necessarily
distinguish
between
on-street
facilities,
which
are
developed
by
dot
and
off-street
trails,
which
are
developed
by
pr
s.
The
network
functions
as
a
whole.
To
that
end,
we
made
sure
to
coordinate
this
effort
with
prns's
trails,
strategic
plan,
which
is
an
appendix
to
this
plan.
I
I
A
E
I
am
also
the
district
director
for
california,
association
of
bicycling
organizations
primarily
made
up
of
bicycling
clubs
and
seasoned
bicyclists.
I
wasn't
planning
on
submitting
any
comments
on
the
bike
plan
at
all.
Until
I
made
a
note
of
how
much
existing
class
iii
roadway
miles
exists
in
the
final
plan
and
then
also
attended
the
july
b-pack
committee
meeting,
at
which
I
believe
this
was
brian
smith,
stated
that
shared
lane
markings
or
sharrows
were,
in
his
words
obsolete.
E
I
wrote
a
letter
to
this
committee
that
you
should
have
received
last
night
or
this
morning
we
are
very
concerned
as
a
bicycling
organization
that
these
class
three
shared
lane
markings
or
sharrows
not
be
deprecated
or
eliminated
over
time,
we'd
like
to
see
a
strong
statement
of
support
by
this
committee,
endorsing
that
these
are
all
vital
bike,
bikeways
that
are
going
to
continue
to
serve
a
big
purpose
in
getting
bicyclists
around
the
city,
even
in
this
new
plan.
E
So
I
hope
that
staff
will
consider
re-characterizing
shared
lane
markings
as
something
that
continues
to
play
a
vital
role.
Indeed,
they
are
in
fact
mentioned
in
the
plan,
but
it
was
these
extemporaneous
comments
that
had
my
organization
concerned.
Thank.
D
Hi,
thank
you
this.
This
side
of
my
feel
can
actually
blend
in
nicely
to
the
ex
to
the
next
item,
but
to
speak
on
the
bicycle
issues.
This
is
a
very
interesting
topic.
Good
luck
with
your
issues
of
equity
you're,
reaching
out
to
different
parts
of
the
community.
D
That
can
be
of
interest
as
well.
I
what
else
have
I
wanted
to
say
about
this
item?
The
vta
is
doing
their
own
important
work
on
pedestrian
and
bicycle
highways.
At
this
time.
It's
an
interesting
concept
that
I
feel
means
I
can.
Hopefully,
you
utilize
the
the
advances
in
asphalts
and
concrete
production
right
now,
and
and
how
can
those
can
be
more
green,
green,
sustainable
in
its
thinking.
D
Of
course,
the
ideas
of
surveillance
and
technology
will
be
a
factor
and
I've
always
I'm
reminding
yourselves
of
good
accountability
practices.
There
are,
and
in
fact,
with
your
wildlife
trails
things
the
city
of
davis,
california,
they've
they've,
created
a
really
comprehensive
guideline
plans
for
surveillance
and
technology
on
their
wildlife
trails
that
I
always
recommend
san
jose
look
into
in
times
like
this,
and
so
just
to
remind
that
of
yourselves
and.
D
Ten
nine
seconds
left.
Thank
you
for
these
efforts.
It's
it's
incredibly
innovative,
much
more
innovative
than
the
av
stuff
that
I'll
be
talking
about
next.
Thank
you.
A
C
Thank
you
so
much
for
this
opportunity
today
and
thank
you
for
the
city
staff
for
their
extensive
time
and
effort
put
into
this
plan.
We
are
especially
excited
about
the
goals
the
plan
mentions,
which
are
complete
the
30
projects
within
five
years
and
add
372
miles
of
protected
bikeways
within
this
time.
So
that
is
super
exciting
and
we're
really
really
really
looking
forward
to
that
in
the
near
future.
C
We
would
love
to
get
more
details
about
how
the
city
plans
to
procure
funding
for
completing
these
projects
and
plans
for
working
with
neighborhood
cities
for
border
crossing
routes
and
also
some
budgeting
requirements
for
various
programmatic
elements
that
the
plan
details
we'd
like
to
urge
all
of
you
to
move
this
plan
and
approve
this
plan
so
that
it
gets
adopted
as
soon
as
possible
and
implementation
of
the
same
can
begin.
B
A
J
All
right,
hi
for
the
record,
my
name
is
brian
prescott
and
I'd
like
to
start
by
thanking
the
transportation
and
environment
committee
for
putting
this
plan
together
and
for
inviting
public
comment.
I'm
a
member
of
the
silicon
valley,
bicycle
coalition
and
I
would
like
to
speak
in
favor
of
this
plan.
I
really
think
it's
wonderful,
so
a
couple
of
personal
stories.
I
grew
up
in
dallas
texas,
in
a
family
that
included
some
bicycle
enthusiasts
and
we
would
go
right
around.
J
We
would
do
rides
of
multiple
dozens
of
miles
a
lot
of
the
time
and
and
after
moving
to
san
jose.
I
live
in
downtown
where
we
have
a
lot
of
the
separated
bike
lines.
J
I
have
to
say
that
in
my
entire
life
I
have
simply
never
felt
safer
riding
a
bike
than
in
this
urban
core,
where
we
have
those
bike
lanes,
because
I'm
positioned
here,
I'm
able
to
get
around
to
most
of
my
basic
needs
only
on
my
bike,
and
I
really
wish
that
that
was
a
lifestyle
that
we
could
extend
to
people
who
don't
live
in
this
urban
core.
I
really
can't
stress
enough
that
the
investment
we
make
publicly
shapes
the
choices
that
people
make.
J
For
instance,
we
spend
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
every
year
to
make
roads
that
are
dangerous
by
design
for
cyclists
and
that
are
safe
for
cars
and
this
forces
people
essentially
to
choose
a
car
centric
lifestyle
which
is
expensive
and
dangerous
for
others,
and
I
know
there
was
also
a
time
in
my
life
where
I
had
a
surprise
loss
of
my
mode
of
transportation
when
I
lost
my
car
and
my
city
at
the
time
did
not
accommodate
a
bike-centric
lifestyle
and
I
would
have
had
a
hard
time
replacing
the
car,
but
I
could
have
easily
put
myself
on
a
bike,
so
I
know
that
when
we're
reaching
out
and
our
concerns
with
equity
here
being
able
to
get
around
with
a
bicycle,
can
be
a
life
changer
for
families
that
are
low
income
or
historically
not
helped
by
bike
infrastructure.
J
A
K
Thank
you.
Can
you
hear
me
now.
A
K
So,
thank
you
and
good
afternoon.
I
would
like
to
actually
speak
on
the
next
item.
The
problem
is,
I
got
some
audio
issues
with
the
mic
on
my
laptop
and
the
phone
instructions
on
the
website
are
not
working.
It's
telling
me
to
call
888-27549
followed
by
the
webinar
id,
but
I'm
getting
a
message
that
that
webinar
id
is
invalid
for
that
phone
number.
So,
if
somebody
could
please
repost
the
correct
instructions
on
the
website
before
public
comment
on
next
night
and
be
much
appreciated,
thank
you.
B
We
can,
I
don't
think
I
can
get
it
fixed
in
time
for
the
next
item.
I
need
to
look
into
why
that's
not
working,
but
I
will
look
into
it
right
now.
Okay,.
A
Thank
you.
I
will
take
comments
from
my
colleagues
councilmember
esparza.
F
Thank
you.
Yes,
I
have
a
question
so
in
looking
at
the
memo
that
talks
about
the
bike
lane
the
bike
plan
and
the
trail
program
safety
plan.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
that
about
that?
I
am
in
particular
through
looking
at
it
through
the
lens
of
connecting
guadalupe
with
coyote
creek
trail
and
the
build-out,
and
how
we're
going
to
look
at
trail
safety
to
encourage
people
to
use
bikes.
H
Sure,
thank
you
councilmember
esparza
and
I
I
think
you
know
connectivity
between
and
among
the
two
trails
is
cool
as
they
you
know,
parallel
each
other
throughout
the
the
area.
I
think
that
the
particular
question
about
trail
safety
is
one
that
eve
zooty
who's
on
the
line
with
us
is,
you
know
most
ready
to
to
comment
on
so
eve,
I'll
turn
it
to
you.
L
Thank
you,
jessica.
Thank
you,
council
member
eve,
zooty,
division
manager
with
parks,
recreation
and
neighborhood
services.
We
we've
got
about
three
miles
of
coyote
creek
trail
under
development
here
in
the
next
year,
or
so,
with
an
item
on
council
coming
up
toward
our
first
construction
contract
from
story
road
to
palin
avenue.
So
the
the
issue
of
safety
and
management
of
that
trail
is
of
timely
and
key
importance
for
us.
L
A
lot
of
the
issues
pertain
to
encampments,
but
but
the
other
challenges,
environmental
pollution,
just
a
sense
of
safety
and
visibility.
Are
there
things
we're
looking
at
so
we're
trying
to
break
up
those
pieces
and
align
them
with
city
departments,
non-profits
and
other
organizations
that
might
be
party
to
the
plan
and
then
organize
it
in
a
way
where
it's
well
coordinated
and
and
thoughtful
so
that
we
we
make
the
best
use
of
the
resources
we
have.
The
the
intent
is,
as
we
move
to
construct
the
story
to
fail
in
project.
L
We
have
about
a
year
worth
of
time,
so
we're
doing
the
investigation
now
to
outline
the
pilot
program.
So
we
can
launch
the
pilot
at
time
of
completion
of
that
project
and
use
that
as
our
first
area
to
beta
test
what
we
can
do
to
improve
safety
in
the
corridors.
If
we
do
our
job
right,
we'll
come
back
to
council
with
a
solid
set
of
proposals.
F
F
Other
part,
is
they
don't
feel
safe,
and
so
so
I
just
asked
that
we
continue
to
to
look
at
that
alignment.
F
H
Yeah,
absolutely
that's
a
great
question,
so
we
have
these
overlapping
opportunities
and
areas
and
as
as
outlined
in
the
plan,
we
selected
the
focus
areas
for
kind
of
more
detailed
plan
level
work
because
of
the
combination
of
opportunity
for
mode
shift,
the
equity
goals
and
the
safety,
and
that
does
not
preclude
us.
However,
from
taking
advantages
of
the
opportunities
of
aligning
with
the
vision,
zero
program
with
the
green
storm
water
infrastructure
program
and
with
other
new
development
and
paving
as
we
can
opportunistically
throughout
the
city.
H
So
it's
a
great
question
to
make
it
more
tangible.
Our
primary
grant
efforts
over
the
past
roughly
four
years
since
we
adopted
vision,
zero
midway
through
2015,
have
been
about
getting
grant
dollars
into
our
vision,
zero
safety,
priority
corridors,
and
so
all
of
those
are
being
designed
with
a
complete
street
approach.
Prioritizing
these
bikeways
and
incorporating
these
bike
plan
recommendations
wherever
possible.
H
So
I
think
you'll
see
that
over
the
next
five
years
we
are
building
out
and
have
a
little
bit
of
a
leg
up
intentionally
within
the
focused
areas,
but
we're
also
taking
those
grant
opportunities,
especially
along
vision,
zero
corridors
to
really
implement
both
plans
and
address
the
safety
needs
within
the
priority
safety
corridors.
F
Yeah
I'd
appreciate
that,
because
when
I
look
at
the
map
on
page
73
and
I
look
at
the
focus
areas
and
the
explanation
of
the
focus
areas,
so
I'm
not
disputing
that.
It
makes
sense
right.
But
it's
hard
to
have
a
conversation
about
equity
when
we're
not
including
some
parts
of
the
city
where
we
really
do
need
some
equity,
particularly
around
safety.
F
And
so
I
just
ask
that,
as
we
continue
to
work
towards
the
plan
that
we
don't
ignore
the
vision,
zero
areas
that
need
that
attention
and
the
funding
to
to
make
them
safer.
And
that's
all.
I
have.
A
You
don't
see
any
other
hands
from
my
colleagues.
I
did
want
to
ask
the
question
that
that
was
asked
by
the
by
the
public
about
oh
council
member
arenas.
I
see
your
hand
now.
No,
please
chair
you,
you,
you
started.
A
H
And
if
he
that
john
brazil
or
brooke
wants
to
take
this
john,
why
don't
you
go
ahead.
I
Sure
yeah,
thank
you.
That
was
a
great
point
and
scott's
a
wonderful
advocate
having
served
on
cable,
forever
yeah.
I
think
that
was
just
a
little
bit
of
confusion
about
what
we
were
trying
to
describe,
as
you
all
probably
can
imagine.
Cheryls
are
those
painted
marks
on
the
pavement
with
the
chevrons
above
a
bike
symbol
and
that's
that's
all
asherow
is
what
I
know.
Ryan
was
trying
to
communicate
to
bpac.
Is
this
plan
says
sheryls
alone
aren't
enough.
I
M
Thank
you
so
my
question
and-
and
I
just
want
to
thank
ramses
and
and
john
for
meeting
with
my
team.
I
have
some
bike
enthusiasts
on
my
team,
and
so
we
look
at
this
quite
closely
and
and
I've
become
one
myself
during
shelter
in
place,
so
I'm
getting
to
appreciate
what
you
all
have
been
loving
for
for
many
many
years.
M
So
one
of
my
questions
was-
and
I
think
you've
already
acknowledged
this
with
my
team
and
that's
that
there
were
some
segments
that
were
missing
in
the
bike
plan
that
included
thompson,
creek
and
capital
expressway
to
aborn.
And
so
I
just
you.
I
just
want
you
to
assure
me
that
you'll
continue
to
work
with
us
to
make
sure
that
those
are
included.
I
Thank
you,
jessica,
yeah,
councilmember
arenas.
Thank
you
for
your
staff,
your
chief
of
staff
and
team,
being
so
proactive
and
reaching
out
to
us
last
week
and
saying
hey:
we've.
They
really
drilled
down
into
the
details
about
a
few
corrections
that
we
need
to
make.
Fortunately,
we
do
have
time
to
make
those.
So
I
thank
you
and
your
staff
for
for
doing
that.
M
No
thank
you
for
for
accommodating
us.
Like
I
said
we
we
have,
and
bike
enthusiasts
and
and
I've
got
to
say
that
I
I
have
like
I
said,
I'm
I've
become
an
enthusiast
and,
as
I
saw
the
results
on
the
survey,
I
I
recognize
that
my
area
42
percent,
said
that
they
would
like
more
bike
barriers
or
protection
or
for
them
to
feel
more
safe.
M
But
the
the
plan
is-
and
I
think
currently
it
was
like
a
one
digit.
I
think
it
was
six
or
seven
percent
that
actually
get
on
our
bike
lanes
and
and
actually
bike.
M
So
there's
quite
a
difference
in
between
those
the
folks
who
want
to
and
and
though
those
who
actually
do
and
and
in
looking
at
your
implementation
and
schedule,
the
five
focus
areas
for
on-street
bikeways
are
in
north
san,
jose,
east
san
jose,
west
san
jose
and
downtown
as
way
as
well
as
edenvale
development
area.
M
H
I
Yeah,
this
slide
was
really
powerful
from
emc
research.
Their
survey,
which
was
we
ensured,
had
a
statistically
significant
number
of
survey
responses
from
every
council
district,
so
really
deep
and
meaningful,
and-
and
yes,
we
see
opportunities
in
all
parts
of
the
city
and
in
the
long
term
strategy
we
definitely
intend
to
make
huge
improvements
in
all
parts
of
the
city.
The
plan
right
now
is
focusing
on
in
the
near-term
areas,
where
we
see
the
the
most
highest
greatest
opportunities
based
on
the
consultant's
analysis.
I
That
does
not
mean
I'm
going
to
give
you
a
double
negative.
That
does
not
mean
we
won't
build
facilities
in
every
district.
Let
me
rephrase
that
we
will,
in
the
near
term,
build
facilities
in
every
district.
It's
just
that
where
the
greatest
opportunities
are
may
be
focused
on
some
areas,
more
than
others.
M
M
Is
that
partly
the
analysis
that
the
consultant
or
your
office
took
to
determine
the
focus
areas
like
well,
we
can
build
on
the
23
percent
a
lot
better
than
we
can
on
the
7,
or
is
it
because
there's
more
potential
bike
paths
that
are
almost
ready
for
or
take
very
little
in
terms
of
of
getting
them
ready
for
for
some
kind
of
bike
path?
M
That
every
district
is
going
to
have
some
level
of
attention
for
bike
paths,
as
you
can
see,
you
know
jessica
thanks
so
much
for
for
for
putting
that
picture,
my
district
is
relatively
large,
and
so
it
provides
for,
for,
I
think,
for
more
leisure
biking
than
it
does
for
biking.
M
That
is
intended
to
get
you
to
work
or
maybe
get
you
to
the
doctors
or
anywhere
else,
and
so
I
I
I
know
that
my
district,
I
know
who
my
district
is,
and
so
I
know
that
it
it
involves
more
of
a
leisure.
This
is
an
activity
for
leisure,
and
so
I
hope
that
that
that
you
could
also
acknowledge
the
potential
for
some
of
our
districts
to
offer
some
of
that
recreation
and
leisure
right,
because
I
know
that
last
time
we
had
a
team
san
jose
update.
You
know
two
years
ago.
M
H
I
think
I
did
go
to
the
one
of
the
other
maps
just
because
it
it
can
give
a
sense
of
the
analysis
that
did
influence
the
the
choosing
of
the
first
focus
areas
in
terms
of
bicycling
demand
for
transportation
and,
as
john
said,
the
intent
of
the
focus
areas
is
not
to
preclude
implementation
of
of
projects
throughout
the
city,
we're
in
fact
going
to
be
seeking
those
opportunities
and,
at
the
same
time,
we
recognize
that
we
have
180
square
miles,
so
starting
without
any
focus
is,
is
also
daunting
for
progress
in
general
john,
if
it's
comfortable
with
you,
I
think
brooke
dubose
from
tool
design
is
on
the
line
and
brooke.
H
If
you
want
to
add
anything
about
the
the
bicycling
demand
analysis
that
might
be
helpful
to
council
member
arenas.
That
would
be
tremendous.
I
And
brooke,
if
you're,
okay
can,
I
just
say
a
few
words
before
you
dive
in
great
so
brooke
was
our
project
manager
from
tool
design
who
did
a
fantastic
job
and
is
still
working
away
and
anxiously
awaiting
your
comments,
so
we
can
get
to
a
final
plan
to
council.
I
just
wanted
to
mention
a
a
couple
of
perspectives
in
response
to
your
question
council
member
annas
one
is
you
know,
I
you
heard
me
during
the
presentation,
almost
excessively
repetitively
saying
what
our
three
goals
are.
I
You
know
to
make
it
safer
to
get
more
people
biking
and
to
expand
on
equity,
and
so
those
were
kind
of
three
lenses
that
we
applied
to
help
us
identify.
You
know
which
parts
of
the
city
are
most
ripe
to
advance
those
goals.
There
are
lots
of
things
that
influence
that,
for
example,
our
city
is
pretty
spread
out,
most
of
it
so
areas
that
have
transit.
N
Sure,
absolutely,
I
guess
I'll
start
by
saying
that
I've
worked
on
probably
60
of
these
types
of
master
plans
at
the
city
or
county-wide
level,
and
the
san
jose
better
bike
plan
is,
is
far
and
away
the
most
data-driven
and
intensive
and
thoughtful
process
around
this
analysis
that
I've
ever
had
the
opportunity
to
work
on,
and
that
is
largely
driven
by
the
dot's
team,
as
well
as
the
the
robust
data
set
that
you
all
have
and
being
able
to
apply
it
to
this
project.
N
So
your
questions
are
excellent
and
the
good
news
is
that
a
lot
of
thought
went
into
every
layer
and
the
three
goals
around
equity
safety
and
no
share
were
reviewed
and
analyzed
as
like
the
benchmark.
Each
time
we
made
decisions
around
focus,
areas
or
priorities,
and
that
kind
of
thing,
so
I
just
wanted
to
start
there.
N
Interestingly,
the
the
number
one
kind
of
factor
or
criteria
that
that
helps
to
find
whether
people
are
willing
to
bike
or
not
is
intersection
density
and
and
how
dense
and
how
connected
your,
your
city
or
area
is,
and
so
the
areas
in
red
around
downtown
and
areas
are,
are
you
know,
they're
and
then
also
areas
around
your
your
rail
stations,
places
of
employment?
N
M
Well,
I'm
glad
you
brought
up
that
land
use
was
one
of
the
considerations
and
I
you
know
it's
it's
hard
to
to
consider
something.
M
That's
not
on
them
on
the
map,
and
I
totally
get
this,
but
my
district
does
have,
I
think,
typically,
the
highest
transit
center,
which
is
located
at
east
ridge,
so
there's
tons
of
buses
that
come
in
and
out
and
people
use
it,
of
course,
to
get
to
work
and
not
necessarily
to
the
mall,
because
you
know
we're
not
shopping
like
that
anymore
and
and
that
shopping
center
that
has
the
highest
transit
activity,
is
also
going
to
have
a
extension
to
the
light
rail,
so
they're
gonna
break
ground
next
year.
M
You
know,
I'm
gonna
knock
on
wood.
If
I
can
find
some
and
and
eventually
you
know
the
our
our
streetscape
down
on
capitol
expressway,
where
it's
a
route
that
people
take
to
get
onto
either
101
or
680
or
280,
other
280
680
entrances
will
look
a
little
different
and
you
know.
M
We
also
hope
that
they
will
accommodate
a
bike
cyclists
so
that
they
can
also
get
two
in
an
you
know
to
the
light
rail
extension
and
all
of
that-
and
I
don't
know
if
that
was
one
of
the
considerations
or
any
of
the
considerations
for
any
of
the.
M
Since
you
mentioned,
you
had
land
use
considerations
in
terms
of
where
you
were
focusing
along
with
you
know
the
bicycling
demand
and
the
density
of
intersections,
and
just
the
multiple
other
reasons
why
you
would
consider
some
places
so
was
that
in
any
way
considered.
N
That's
right:
yeah,
we
did
take
into
account
future
land
use
changes
based
on
your
general
plan
and
certainly
sort
of
attractors
and
generators
of
activity
like
a
rail
station
or
a
shopping.
Mall
certainly
would
affect
a
demand
score
and
was
something
that
we
took
into
consideration
when
generating
this
map.
M
I
Hi,
this
is
john,
so
it
was
considered.
I
I
know,
because
we
had
a
vta
staff
person
on
our
technical
advisory
committee
and
also,
I
think,
brooke
if
I,
if
he
was
just
using
the
general
plan.
As
an
example
of
I
know
that
brooks
team
looked
at
plans
from
the
city
and
bta
and
the
county
and
caltrans
councilmember.
We
did
look
at
the
light
rail
extension.
M
Got
it
okay?
Well,
I
I
appreciate
that.
I
I
appreciate
the
the
focus
and
the
consideration.
I
I
know
that
my
district
has
two
very
different
needs.
One
is
the
actual
need
to
get
to
work
and
use
and
the
reliance
of
public
transportation
to
do
that,
and
then
the
other
half
of
my
district
could
probably
work
from
home,
but
they
choose
to
go
to
a
campus
or
to
their
work
somewhere,
and
so
so
I'm
trying
to
balance
both
of
those
needs.
M
One
is
of
leisure
and
one
is
out
of
necessity
for
work,
and
I
I
appreciate
that
you
took
into
account
equity
and
the
mode
shift
and
and
safety
it
it
just.
I
guess,
for
for
a
district
like
mine,
we
have
both
of
the
needs.
We
have
like
opposite
needs
right
when
you're
talking
about
john,
you
were
given
an
example
that
was
kind
of
you
know
opposed
what
you
just
first
said
right
so
anyways.
M
I
I'm
glad
that
you
consider
that
I
hope
that
we
can,
as
you
drill
down
further,
that
we
can
see
some
very
specific
sites.
I
know
right
now
it's
general
areas,
but
very
specific
sites
and
then
move
on
from
from
there.
So
those
are
my
questions
chair.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
and
I
don't
think
we've
said
it
yet,
but
can
we
just
acknowledge
and
celebrate
that
we
we
made
a
goal
and
we're
going
to
not
only
meet
but
exceed
the
goal
for
our
first
bike
plan
for
2020.
A
It
it
requires
some
celebration,
so
I'm
I'm
excited
about
our
I'm
here
for
it
there
you
go
all
right.
Thank
you,
councilmember
as
far
as
us,
so
I'm
excited
that
we've
got.
We
had
the
bike,
pant
bike
plan
2020
and
now
we've
got
better
bike
plan.
2025
and
I'm
just
wondering.
Are
you
planning
john
best
bike
plan
2030
for
the
next
one.
A
All
right,
I
totally.
I
think
that
I
know
you
guys
have
spent
a
ton
of
time,
and
I
think
this
is
a
great
plan.
Clearly,
we've
we've
already
heard
that
from
our
our
public
as
well,
and
I
think
the
goals
are
completely
in
line
with
what
they
need
to
be.
I
love
the
quick
build,
not
not
only
because
it
costs
less
and
takes
less
staff
time,
but
because
it
gets
it
gets
us
more
for
our
money
and
we
get
we
get
a
better
network
over
time.
A
A
It
talks
about
the
largest
group
of
respondents,
people
who
say
they
want
to
bike
more,
but
they
don't
because
I
think
what
they
call
them
interested
but
concerned,
and
both
jessica
and
john
have
have
held
my
hand
a
little
bit
and
helped
me
to
become
more
comfortable
with
all
my
various
all
my
various
reasons
for
why
I
don't
bike
the
two
to
two
and
a
half
miles
to
city
hall
from
my
house
or
didn't
before
shelter
in
place.
A
Obviously
now
I'm
just
in
my
garage,
but
I
just
want
to
thank
you
guys
for
helping
kind
of
knock
down
those
barriers.
The
one
thing
that
you
haven't
been
able
to
do
yet
and-
and
I
don't
know
it's
not
in
the
bike
plan-
is
overcome.
A
My
laziness
so
nobody's
nobody's
gotten
to
that
one
yet,
but
you
do
continue
to
take
away
all
my
other
excuses,
so
we're
going
to
be
left
with
my
laziness,
I
think,
by
the
end
of
this
pipeline,
and
I
wondered
how
many
other
people
who
said
they
want
to
bike
more
but
didn't
give
that
as
one
of
their
common
barriers.
A
F
A
M
I
would
add
that
helmet
head
is
also
another
factor,
laziness
and
then,
on
top
of
that
helmet
head.
You
know
it's
hard,
although.
A
A
Definitely
so
I
don't,
I
mean
I
have
no
other
real
real,
like
burning
questions.
The
only
thing
I
did
start
to
play
around,
as
you
were
talking,
john
about
with
the
the
map.
I
didn't
realize
that
there
was
the
interactive
map
I
must
have
like
when
I
was
skimming
the
report
didn't
catch
that
hey.
I
can
play
around
with
an
interactive
map
on
the
bike,
san
jose.com
website,
which
is
super
cool
and
I'm
looking
at
it,
and
I
see
there
there
are
overlays
of
colors
on
some
areas.
A
So
of
course
I
go
straight
to
right
around
my
house
and
I'll
see
like
there's
blue,
which
says
bike
lane
and
then
there's
like
the
dash
lines,
it's
hard
to
see
which
one
is
dashed,
but
there's
a
bike
lane
and
then
there's
maybe
protected
bike
lane
is
dashed.
I
Yeah,
that's
right,
jared
you're,
correct
and
we
realized
the
map
is
really
data
rich
and
we,
the
consultants,
did
a
great
job
in
trying
to
make
it
as
legible
as
pos
possible.
We
have
a
lot
of
info
on
there,
so
you
can
click
on
and
off
different
layers,
but
you
have
it
correct,
dashed,
planned
and
solid
existing.
A
Okay,
great
yeah,
I
think
it's
fantastic.
I
had
the
only
other
question
I
had
about
the
map
there.
There
were
a
couple
of
places
where
it
looked
like.
There
was
a
a
plan
for
a
bike
lane
and
I
just
wondered
when,
when
we
have
those
those
plans
for
a
bike
lane,
do
we
know
already
that
there's
enough
space
to
to
put
a
bike
lane
in
or
did
we
just
say
hey?
A
I
Another
great
question
and
very
important:
we
did
have
our
consultants
team,
do
analysis
using
our
data
and
collecting
additional
data
to
confirm
if
there
would
be
any
impacts
to
travel
lanes
or
parking
as
well.
As
you
know,
parking
utilization
in
some
instances
and
whether
the
street
could
accommodate
a
lane
reduction
or
not
so
feasibility
was
also
analyzed.
J
H
That
is
a
lot
of
it.
I
would
not
want
to
put
a
percentage
to
it,
but
either
brook
or
john
could
certainly
put
a
percentage
to
it
that
it's
really
about
taking
the
quantity
filling
in
gaps
where
they
remained
existing
and
then
upgrading
the
quality
of
that
network,
because
you
know
these
streets,
these
same
streets
are
how
you
get
from
here
to
there
at
the
end
of
the
day.
So.
J
B
N
To
put
a
number
to
it,
I
I
would
venture
to
say
that
about
three
quarters
of
the
network
is
existing
and
on
the
ground
and
is
being
upgraded
to
current
best
practice
conditions.
Yeah.
F
M
C
B
Arenas,
yes,
esparza,
yes,
davis,
hi.
I
did
test
all
four
numbers
that
zoom
allows
us
to
use.
Three
of
them
are
not
working.
One
is
I'm
going
to
share
the
screen
right
now
with
the
nut?
The
one
number
that's
working.
B
I
have
contacted
it,
who
has
direct
access
to
zoom
people,
whereas
I
don't
to
ask
them
why
the
other
numbers
are
not
working
and
I
will
be
testing
all
of
the
the
council
meeting
numbers
for
tomorrow,
as
well
as
any
other
meetings
that
we
have
going
on
this
week
to
see
if
they're
all
having
the
same
issue,
I
apologize
to
the
public.
This
has
not
happened
in
the
several
months
that
we've
had
zoom.
B
I
have
not
had
the
numbers
just
stop
working,
so
please
call
I'm
going
to
say
it
for
those
of
you
who
might
might
not
be
able
to
read
the
screen.
The
number
is
213.
B
A
And
tony,
you
can
go
ahead
and
leave
it
up
for
a
second
just
so
people
can
write
all
those
numbers
down
if
they
need
to
and
they
need
to
click
they
need
to
press
star
9
if
they
want
to
raise
their
hand
to
speak
on
the
phone.
Is
that
correct.
A
Great,
thank
you.
So
we
will.
G
Yeah,
thank
you
john
russell,
director
of
transportation
again,
and
this
one
is
our
typical
report
on
regional
projects
and
our
planning
efforts.
G
Although
in
the
memo
we
cover
a
description,
short
description
of
all
of
the
projects
that
we're
working
on
we've
chosen
to
focus
on
two
city
planning
efforts
that
ramvus
madhu
is
going
to
cover
in
the
december
meeting,
we'll
be
bringing
back
some
more
detail
on
some
of
the
other
key
regional
projects,
like
the
light
rail
extension
to
eastridge
that
councilmember
arenas
mentioned
and
some
activities
that
caltrain
and
high-speed
rail
and
some
of
the
other
projects
that
are
regional
so
in
december,
we'll
bring
some
of
that
back
today.
G
We're
going
to
focus
on
a
couple
of
key
local
transportation
planning
projects,
and
these
are
really
the
front
end
work
that
we
do.
That
then
translates
into
priority
setting
for
the
council
for
projects
that
we
undertake
and
sets
table
for
rest
of
what
what
the
transportation
system
looks
like
to
support
land
use,
changes
that
go
on
in
the
city,
so
ram
just
take
it
away.
O
Thank
you,
john
afternoon,
chair
and
committee.
I'm
pretty
excited
to
talk
about
some
big
projects
here
that
have
been
waiting
in
the
wings
for
your
attention
through
this
covet
closure.
First,
one
we're
going
to
talk
about
is
a
multimodal
transportation
improvement
plan.
I'm
going
to
start
off
from
the
high
view
here.
Here
are
the
four
multimodal
transportation
improvement
plans
that
are
going
on
right
now.
O
O
San
jose
is,
of
course,
the
downtown
plan,
as
well
as
the
west
san
jose
m,
tip
again
we're
going
to
focus
in
here
on
the
blue
all
right,
so
the
moviemento
is
planned
for
the
area
we
just
looked
at
and
is
really
working
to
develop
ways
for
the
area
to
become
much
more
multimodal
and
accessible
than
it
is
today,
with
the
centerpiece
of
the
bart
station
right
on
28th
street
there,
the
project
has
gone
through
its
normal
planning
life
and
is
now
coming
in
for
a
review
from
leadership
and
hopefully
going
for
adoption.
O
And
developed
of
course,
evaluations,
recommendations,
cost
estimates,
implementation
strategies
and
our
final
plan
was
done
in
spring
2020..
All
right.
O
So,
for
these
were
the
work
products
from
the
plan
and
I
think
this
one's
public
engagement,
our
public
involvement
plan,
kind
of
starting
this
off.
Following
from
some
of
the
lessons
actually
learned
from
the
better
bike
plan,
you
just
heard.
C
O
We
built
a
pretty
interesting
community
engagement
strategy
that
really
worked
with
the
public
first
to
understand,
not
only
you
know
who
we
should
be
interacting
with,
but
also
how
in
learning
and
getting
advice
and
input
from
there.
O
We
of
course
went
through
a
network
plan
and
and
kind
of
device
what
the
whole
area
will
actually
look
like
through
all
the
different
modes
that
need
to
move
around
there
and
went
through
project
list
and
prioritization
and
the
like.
We'll
talk
through
each
of
these,
the
word
product
flow.
O
We
started
with
each
work,
product
really
developed
by
a
consultant
and
and
staff
that
went
through
a
larger
staff,
review
across
dot
and
other
departments
where
network,
where
necessary
and
then
went
through
intergovernmental
review,
and
this
is
something
else
we're
really
trying
to
do.
You
know
we
know
transportation
just
doesn't
stop
at
a
a
a
border
or
anything
like
that
and
a
lot
of
times
there's
a
lot
of,
especially
in
transportation,
overlapping
jurisdictions.
O
You
know
caltrans
vta
city
and
so
we're
really
trying
to
make
sure
that,
as
we
develop
plans
that
those
voices
and
those
institutional
that
institutional
knowledge
is
being
shared
as
we
develop
it,
so
we
don't
end
up
kind
of
like
the
good
question
that
was
brought
up
earlier.
Is
that
did.
E
O
Include
you
know
the
the
light
rail
on
eastridge
in
the
plan.
You
know
we're
making
sure
we're
doing
those
things
up
front
and
then,
of
course,
bringing
that
work
product
as
it's
as
it's
been
put
together
to
the
community
to
understand
if
it
really
meets
what
communities
are
asking
for.
O
So
the
community
engagement
plan
for
this
for
this
plan
started
out.
Like
I
was
saying
before
the
plan,
we
also
use
the
community-based
organizations
model
where
we
go
and
we
find
community-based
organizations,
in
this
case
almost
mayfair
and
vivo,
to
help
us
bring
in
voices
that
we
usually
don't
hear
from
in
the
public
process
right,
there's
those
who
are
very,
very
good
at
understanding
these
processes
learning
how
to
make
comments
and
all
that
we
need
to
hear
from
them.
O
But
we
also
are
trying
to
get
a
broader
sense
of
what
people
think
around
these
issues
with
them,
as
well
as
the
other
known,
there's,
actually
quite
a
lot
of
active
community
groups
in
the
area
of
this
plan,
and
so
we
made
sure
we
worked
with
them
as
well
and
together
we
created
a
general
strategy
for
outreach.
Here
you
can
see
the
kind
of
the
planning
rounds
ce
one,
two,
three
and
four-
that
we
use
to
kind
of
go
out
to
the
public
and
get
further
feedback,
and
then
we
are
also.
O
We
also
have
a
post
planning
engagement
where
we
actually
did
create
a
community
advisory
group
to
kind
of
shepherd
this
plan,
as
it
goes
forward
and
talk
about
that
at
the
end.
Here.
O
All
right
what
happened
there?
Oh
this
is
okay,
this
is
animated,
so
the
prioritization
method,
one
of
the
other
things
we're
really
trying
to
do
in
dot's
planing
efforts
is
create
prioritization
methods.
You
just
saw
it
in
a
bike
plan,
spent
a
lot
of
time.
Understanding,
okay,
you
know
we
create
a
big
list
of
projects
now,
which
ones
are
actually
the
biggest
bang
for
the
buck
right,
how
which
ones
are
the
most
effective
in
meeting
equity
goals
and
the
life?
O
And
so
in
this
one
we
prioritize
first
based
on
how
well
does
the
project
align
with
community
goals?
How
long?
How
well
does
the
project
align
with
city
policy
goals
and
then
what
are
the
obstacles
to
delivering
this
project
right?
O
There's
a
quite
a
lot
of
spreadsheets
and
and
quantitative
information
that
we
used
to
kind
of
be
able
to
do
this
and
bring
these
out.
O
So
what
did
we
get
out
of
all
this?
This
is
a
map.
The
kind
of
london
underground
shape
the
circle
with
the
bar
through
the
middle
is
the
entire
planning
area,
and
you
can
see
these
are
the
the
major
types
of
projects
color-coded
here
you
know
green,
is
as
crossings
over
the
highway
blue
is
by
boulevard
bark
connections,
light
luke,
so
on
and
so
forth.
O
So
here
we
see,
what's
proposed
for
east
santa
clara,
we're
proposing
it
as
a
transit
priority
project,
and
it
would
continue
on
from
the
current
end
of
the
brt
system
on
the
east
side
of
101
and
carry
that
carry
those
buses
over
the
yeah
in
the
downtown
on
their
own.
What
we're
calling
a
public
service
lane?
We
wouldn't
have
the
large
stations
and
an
other
brt
kind
of
build
out.
O
That's
happened
in
the
middle
and
the
median
and
the
earlier
in
the
east
side,
current
brt,
but
we
would
have
it
on
on
the
outside
either
running
next
to
parked
cars
or
the
curve,
we'll
call
it
a
public
service
lane,
because
it
would
also
accommodate
any
public
any
emergency
vehicles
in
emergency
mode
and
the
fire
department
has
been
quite
happy
with
with
us
discussing
this
kind
of
idea.
O
This
will
cut
down,
obviously
transit
times
quite
a
bit
really
creating
a
better
capacity
for
that
connecting
the
east
side
with
downtown.
You
know
all
the
way
down
to
east
ridge,
all
the
way
across
really
creating
a
really
fast
transit.
O
And
will
also
be
coupled
with
a
whole
bunch
of
improvements
for
pedestrians,
including
crossings
and
timing
and
medians,
and
things
like
that,
all
right.
So
here's
the
entirety
of
the
prioritized
project
list.
Of
course
we
don't
mean
for
you
to
read
it
here,
but
we
ended
up
with
about
40
7
48
projects,
kind
of
28
individual
projects.
18
of
these
are
the
quick,
build
types
of
projects.
Sorry
great
way
to
say
that
is
of
the
total
47
projects.
18
of
them.
O
O
That's
also
part
of
the
better
bikeways
program.
We
have
the
east
santa
clara
101
over
crossing
improvements
for
pedestrians
happening
as
well
as
the
san
antonio
there.
It
is
my
else,
a
san
antonio
bike,
boulevard
project
as
well
as
san
antonio
major
streets
project.
O
The
implementation
strategies
are
key
implementations
so
for
each
project,
we're
looking
at
you
know
really
what
are
the
major
things
that
we
need
to
do
and
looking
for
for
how
we
can
bring
those
in
line
and
then
opportunities
to
include
projects
with
an
ongoing
city
program,
so
you're,
seeing
a
lot
of
this
through
a
lot
of
the
planning
work,
we're
kind
of
we're
making
sure
all
of
the
work
is
being
weaved
as
much
as
possible.
O
So
that's
a
really
great
question
earlier
on
from
council
member
esparza
about
vision,
zero
and
and
the
focus
areas
right.
That's
that's
exactly
the
kind
of
thinking
we're
trying
to
do
across
the
board
right
when,
when
can
we
make
the
pavement
program
and
vision,
zero
and
the
bike
program
and
some
of
these
multimodal
transportation
improvement
plans
and
whatever
caltrain
is
doing
over
there?
How
do
we
really
align
those
that
we're
getting?
O
You
know
the
ultimate
outcome,
that's
in
the
plans,
driven
by
all
the
different
kind
of
mechanisms
that
are
out
there
for
that.
So
we
spend
a
lot
of
time
at
the
end
of
plans
now
really
making
sure
that
we've
thought
as
far
as
we
can
down
that
chain
before
we
go
forward
yeah
and
then
of
course,
a
lot
of
implementation
strategies
are
going
to
be
grant
funds
and
then
looking
at
the
avenues
that
we
can
use
there.
O
K
O
We
have
the
movemento
community
advisory
group.
This
is
really
meant
to
maintain
the
community's
involvement,
as
we
kind
of
go
forward,
keeping
public
buy-in
and
keeping
the
public
apprised.
What
is
coming
down
the
pipe
as
well
as
when
decision
points
come
up
right.
So
when
we
brought
the
four
projects
forward
for
implementation,
we
got
feedback
from
them
on
that
and
yeah
the
the
members
are
of
the
nine
different
are
from
nine
different
community-based
organizations
in
the
area.
O
So
we're
pretty
happy
to
see
such
commitment.
Oh,
are
my
talking
notes
showing.
I
just
didn't
know
that
all
right,
let's
see
here,
it's
gonna,
do
that
yet
do
that
here.
E
O
Green
two:
there
we
go.
Thank
you
right.
So
the
group's
already
met
once
in
june.
They
gave
us
both,
as
I
said,
input
on
our
implementation
plan
for
this
year,
but
also
gave
us
a
bit
of
information
that
we
need
about
what
people
are
experiencing
through
the
shelter
in
place
and
how
that
might
help
us
plan
or
prioritize
better
and
our
next
planned
meeting
is
in
september.
O
Let's
that's
the
end
of
this
presentation.
We
have
another
presentation
coming
up.
Would
you
like
to
do
both
in
a
row,
or
would
you
like
to
take
questions
in
between?
I
am
open
to
whatever
works,
for
you.
A
Let's
go
ahead
and
finish
with
the
presentations
and
then
I'll
all
remind
my
colleagues
that
for
any
advisory
boards
or
regional
boards
that
they
serve
on
they're
also
welcome.
After
these
presentations
to
to
give
a
brief
update
and
then
we
will
go
to
public
comment
and
then
we'll
go
to
questions
all.
O
Right
there
we
go
all
right
and
then
tony
could
you
bring
in
john
tsugami
from
the
I
think,
he's
in
the
the
wrong
room
should
be
on
the
panelist.
He
may
want
to
speak
to
this
item.
I
think
I
see
him
in
the
other
room.
Yeah
he's
coming
in
now.
Okay,
all
right,
so
the
tasman
comp
quarter
complete
street
study.
O
O
And
the
life
there,
those
are
the
project
objectives.
Well,
one
so
vta
ran
this
study.
We
were
a
party
to
it,
so
this
is
an
interest
jurisdictional
plan.
O
I'll
show
you
the
entire
map
here
in
a
second,
it
enhanced
the
really
look
to
enhancing
the
comfort
reliability
of
all
modes,
while,
while
still
trying
to
accommodate
drivers
right,
so
we're
really
looking
to
see
how
can
we
make
bikes,
pedestrians
and
transit
riders
feel
more
welcome
and
safer
in
this
courthouse
in
this
corridor,
really
look
to
build
community
support
for
it
and
did
a
lot
of
work
on
implementation.
O
This
is
the
entirety
of
this.
The
study
corridor
really
really
big
area
right
all
the
way
from
the
new
bart
station
in
milpitas
to
the
end
of
the
road
there
out
in
sunnyvale,
almost
at
237.,
all
four
jurisdictions
had
multiple
meetings,
talking
about
corridor
issues
and-
and
and
you
know
we
all
learned
about
each
other's
little
pet
peeves
and
projects
across
the
entire
thing.
O
O
You
can
literally
touch
the
backs
of
the
trucks
parked
on
the
other
side
of
the
fence
from
from
the
road.
So
it's
a
very
diverse
area,
all
right,
so
the
plan
went
through
somewhat
traditional
planning
process
where
we
brought
together
background
and
existing
conditions
and
moved
through
developing
alternatives
and
refining
them
and
then
coming
to
a
preferred
alternative.
O
O
Bring
it
to
you
guys
all
right,
so
what
were
identified
as
the
basic
means
we
kind
of
already
talked
about
it
a
bit,
but
through
all
the
existing
conditions
and
the
purpose
of
the
study
right.
One.
P
O
Bicycle
and
pedestrian
connectivity,
especially
in
north
san
jose
for
a
san
jose's
portion
of
the
study.
We
have
two
just
world-class
bike
facilities
being
either
completed
or
being
built
in
coyote,
creek
and
guadalupe,
and
that
run
just
north
south
of
these
really
great
facilities,
but
getting
from
those
facilities
over
to
the
businesses
and
workplaces
is
pretty,
is
not
well
built
out
enough.
O
Of
course,
safety
and
comfort
already
talked
about
that.
There's
also
a
lack
of
weight,
finding
signage
and
lighting
for
people
who
aren't
driving,
and
so
you
know
if
you're
walking
around
or
biking-
and
you
don't
kind
of
already
know
where
you
are.
It
can
be
hard
to
kind
of
find
your
way
around.
Some
thought
about
that
and
then,
of
course,
liability
and
travel
time
for
for
pretty
much
all
modes,
especially
if
you
get
to
that
first,
north
first
and
tasman
intersection
things.
B
G
O
Here's
a
map
of
current
average
speeds
for
the
light
rail
activity
for
light
rail
through
the
area
and,
as
you
can
see
in
places
where
it's
grade
separated
here
by
that
great
mall
in
milpitas,
you're,
really
getting
great
speeds
and
as
you
get
down
into
the
city,
so
sorry,
you
start
slowing
down
a
bit
again
that
first
and
tasman
intersection
is
really
a
huge
impediment
to
the
system
that
you
can
see.
O
Those
problems
throughout
this
is
really
relevant
because
the
the
milpitas
bart
station
is
really
going
to
drive
a
great
deal
more
transit
users
once
we
get
outside
of
the
the
shadow
of
coronavirus
and
we
really
and
there's
already
a
new
line.
That
goes
straight
across
this
this
corridor,
and
we
really
need
to
see
this
improve.
B
O
Terms
of
timing,
and
to
make
people
want
to
do
this
instead
of
packing
more
cars
into
the
area,
all
right,
so
community
feedback,
there
was
a
lot
of
community
feedback
on
this.
There
was
a
lot
of
use
of
of
online
tools,
twitter,
facebook
and
blogs
using
the
the
vta
website,
and
things
like
that
community
meetings
as
well.
I
had
about
184
community
members,
show
up
to
meetings
around
this
plan.
Another
great
number
there
is
a
1356
responses
to
the
online
survey.
O
You
can
imagine
that's
quite
a
lot
of
folks
expressing
their
opinion.
It's
a
good
thing.
So
what
do
we
learn
from
that
priorities?
Is
the
thing
that
we
really
got
from
this?
You
can
really
see
with
that
much
that
many
people
kind
of
coming
in
what
where
people
put
their
their
desires
here,
one
really
making
sidewalks
making
the
the
pedestrian
environment
safer
and
more
comfortable
just
stood
out
for
so.
K
O
People
really
something
we
need
to
work
on
and
after
that
bike
facilities
and
then
light
rail
service
and
then
fourth
was
reducing
vehicle
congestion.
So
you
can.
O
O
So
you
can
see
here
I'll,
give
a
little
context
before
I
jump
in
into
the
actual
improvement
description,
our
fun
colorful
little
modes
there
on
the
bottom,
the
bike
and
train
and
bus
and
the
like
right
right
now
you
actually
have
a
pretty
good
mode
split.
You
got
about
29
of
trips.
O
By
transit,
which
is
pretty
nice,
but
you
still
have
70
percent
happening
by
by
automobile,
I'm
expecting
quite
a
lot
more
trips
to
come
into
this
area
and
can't
accommodate
it
in
that
same
mode,
split.
B
O
Do
project
out
that
we
will
see
a.
O
Increase
in
train
usage
on
the
light
rail,
especially
if
we
can,
we
can
accomplish
some
of
the
improvements
to
the.
I
O
And
a
large
increase
in
bicycling,
so
we're
really
trying
to
design
for
that
future
to
be
able
to
bring
folks
into
the
area
and
these
other
modes
and
not
just
be
stuck
on
tasman
and
the
light
getting
on
the
highways.
So
how
we're
going
to
do
that?
Well,
one!
You
can
see
here
a
kind
of
a
cross-section
looking
that
kind
of
the
general
plan
for
the
for
the
corridor.
Right
is
a
protected
bike
lane
and
anywhere
we
can
fit
it.
O
Continuation
of
travel
lanes
now
in
some
places,
it'll
still
be
two
and
some
places
it'll
still
be
three.
This
is
just
a
representative
thing,
of
course,
the
light
rail
in
the
middle,
as
well
as
some
expanded
pedestrian
facilities
where
that
can
be
fit
in.
O
So
here's
what
it
might
look
like
in
san
jose
again
similar
setup,
but
just
kind
of
seen
in
that
larger
view.
Some
other
things
to
highlight
here
not
only
that
cross
section
of
the
protected
bike
lane,
but
also
real
improvements
at
the
light
rail
stations,
particularly
for
pedestrian
crossing,
so
creating
those
those
nicer
noses
in
the
bulb
out
at
the
stations.
O
So
people's
crossing
of
the
street
is
faster,
less
less
area
to
cross
and
safer
if
they
get
stuck
in
the
middle
and
better
lighting,
better
signal
timing,
all
of
these
kinds
of
things
will
come
together
to
help
make
these
kinds
of
areas
a
lot
more
comfortable
for
folks
taking
transit
and
walking
one
more
example
of
the
kind
of
work
that's
being
done
here.
Here's
plan
view
kind
of
looking
from
above
what
this
might
look
like
at
tasman
zanker.
O
You
can
see
here
again
the
protected
bike
lanes
shown
with
the
blue
line
on
the
on
the
north
side
of
the
road
there
and
emerge
into
the
into
the
intersection,
as
well
as
some
other
treatments
like
the
the
kind
of
green
bulb
there
on
the
left
side
of
the
picture,
kind
of
helping
steer
cars
to
slow
them
down
right
in
those
turns
so
they're
taking
safe
returns
all
right.
So
what
are
the
project
next
steps?
O
Well
right
now,
we're
going
through
city,
presentations,
vta
and
city
staff
are
bringing
this
plan
to
committees
and
and
councils
where
needed,
get
get
the
socialized
after
that,
bta
will
be
adopting
this
he'll
be
going
to
the
board
there
and,
after
that,
it's
time
to
get
to
work
and
trying
to
coordinate
with
btn
cities
to
get
funding
and
get
to
those
next
steps.
O
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Ramses.
Are
there
any
council
members
who
would
like
to
have
who
have
an
update
on
any
of
the
regional
transit
boards
that
they
are
on.
A
Yes,
I
have
an
update
training.
Thank
you.
I
wasn't
sure
if
your
hand
was
still
up
from
the
last
time
or
not,
it.
M
Was
but
it's
it
served
me
okay,
so
update
on
this
is
the
eastridge
to
bart
regional
connector
project,
and
you
know,
as
you
know,
I'm
on
the
policy
advisory
board
and
we
met
back
in
june,
where
vta
shared
with
us
some
of
the
completed
and
work
and
some
of
the
anticipated
work,
and
some
of
that
has
been
completed,
work
utility,
design
for
pg
e
electricity
transmissions
lines,
so
that's
complete
and
they
have
a
construction
utility
schedule
to
begin
this
upcoming
september.
M
Vta
is
still
in
the
process
of
acquiring
property
and
in
total,
there's,
18
and
so
eight
have
been.
Oh
settlements
have
been
executed
already,
and
so
we
got
some
ways
to
go,
but
I
think
they're
still
on
track.
M
We
have
an
faa
approval,
that's
still
underway
and
last
thursday
on
the
27th
vta
kicked
off
their
first
stakeholders
working
group
meeting,
and
that
is
made
up
of
a
lot
of
community
members
that
had
been
nominated
by
the
policy
advisory
board,
and
these
folks
represent
the
different
stakeholders
in
that
area,
from
businesses
to
neighborhood
associations
and
parents
all
like,
and
so
they
are
going
to
be
meeting
and
providing
some
input
to
bta,
especially
around
the
construction
impacts,
and
you
know
to
disseminate
information,
as
we
all
learned
last
year
that
transportation
infrastructure
is
one
of
the
ways
that
a
lot
of
small
businesses
get
displaced
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
doesn't
happen.
M
But
you
know
covet
got
ahead
of
us
on
displacing
a
lot
of
folks.
So
we
have
to
be
extra
careful
for
those
businesses
that
have
managed
to
hold
on
so
that
they're
not
then
impacted
by
construction,
and
then
there's
also
this
artwork.
That
is
really
exciting
and
it's
going
to
be
implemented
along
the
corridor.
M
The
artwork
agreement
is
between
the
vta
and
and
the
city
and
that's
been
approved,
and
so
I
believe,
we're
in
the
process
of
the
city
and
department
of
transportation
is
in
the
process
of
selecting
an
artist
for
that
artwork
implementation
and
so
that's
absolutely
exciting.
M
Let's
see
construction
for
the
structure
of
the
project
is
expected
to
be
awarded
in
early
2021,
with
an
official
construction
beginning
in
summer
2021
in
passenger
service
by
2026,
which
doesn't
seem
very
far
away,
so
I'm
gonna
knock
on
wood
again
and
in
anticipation
that
this
sticks
and
and
that
we
will
well
be
underway
and
soon
we'll
see
light
rail
extension
to
eastridge.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
arenas.
That's
great
news.
One
more
reason
for
us
to
get
over
2020
is
to
get
that
eastridge
project
going
very
cool.
I
I
have
an
update.
If,
if
no
one
else
does
council
member
esparza,
did
you
have
an
update.
F
Just
a
quick
one,
I'm
sure
councilmember
yep
can
make
any
additions,
but
the
at
e-bag
abag
has
been
doing
a
lot
of
work
around
merging
with
mtc
and
then
also
recently
approved.
So
it's
not
transportation
related
but
recently
approved
some
affordable
or
some
housing
goals
for
the
entire
bay
area
region,
and
there
was
a
lot
of
discussion
and
debate
around
that,
but
the
group
was
able
to
come
to
an
agreement.
C
No,
my
memory's
a
bit
shaky
lately
so,
but
but
apparently
we're
whatever
numbers
are
agreed
on
per
the
public
is,
is
not
enough.
So.
A
Got
it
thanks
for
that?
I
have
a
a
short
caltrain
update.
Caltrain
did
have
success
in
getting
a
regional
sales
tax
measure
on
the
ballot.
As
many
of
you
know,
it
was
touch
and
go
there
for
a
while,
but
it
it
will
be
measure
rr
on
the
san
francisco,
san
mateo
and
santa
clara
county
ballots
for
an
eighth
cent
sales
tax
for
30
years,
and
that
is
a
dedicated
funding
source
for
caltrain
to
to
continue
on
with
it's
it's.
A
A
But
the
work
continues
here
on
on
the
line
and
electrification
on
on
the
train.
Tracks
themselves
is,
is
continuing
to
happen
and
in
fact,
we've
been
able
to
to
maintain
that
schedule
and
increase
the
amount
of
time
that
that
construction
is
happening
on
the
train
tracks,
because
caltrain,
as
many
of
you
know
have
had,
has
had
to
drastically
cut
its
service
in
order
to
preserve
funds.
A
So
moving
forward
with
that
project
and
then
what
what
the
dedicated
sales
tax
would
allow
for
is
really
an
expansion
of
that
service,
which
is
still
there's
not
an
updated
schedule,
but
it's
still
hopefully
going
to
be
fully
electrified
and
in
service
by
the
end
of
2022
and
the
dedicated
sales
tax
would
allow
well,
first
of
all
for
caltrain
to
continue
to
survive.
A
Given
the
fact
that
we
may
have
lower
ridership
for
a
while
post
covid
whenever
post
code
happens,
this
would
provide
a
dedicated
funding
source
because
caltrain
is
run
over
70
percent
by
fare
box
recovery.
So
the
revenues
from
fares
is,
is
the
majority
of
the
funding
for
caltrain,
so
a
dedicated
sales
tax
would
allow
us
to
bridge
the
time
and
and
then
allow
for
expansion
of
service
over
time
as
trent
as
writers
come
back
to
transit.
A
So
that's
my
update
on
caltrain
and
if
my
colleagues
don't
have
any
more
updates
I'll
go
to
public
comment
and
then
we'll
and
then
we'll
get
questions
and
comments
from
the
committee.
A
Roland
your
hand
is
up
and
we
have
a
couple
of
phone
numbers
too.
So
it
looks
like
some
people
were
ready.
Tony,
do
you
want
to
put
up
the
number
again
just
in
case
people
didn't
get
it.
B
And
then
I
have
roland,
I
have
a
number
ending
in
5140
I
have
player
beekman
and
a
number
ending
in
6262
with
their
hands
raised.
B
K
K
Because
that's
me
now,
where
was
I
I
don't
know
if
you
can
hear
me
clearly,
but
I
could
barely
hear
a
ramses
just
now.
I
don't
know
what
was
up
with
that.
K
K
K
The
reason
why
the
fair
box,
basically
tanked,
is
because
they
kill
the
baby
bullets,
which
were
the
only
trains
that
were
turning
in
a
profit,
so
guess
what
they're,
not
five
percent
ridership
when
they
could
probably
be
higher
than
ten
percent,
maybe
even
heading
for
20
percent,
if
they
ran
baby
bullets
but
you're,
saying
principally
centuries
I'll,
be
back
later
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
happened
last
week
at
various
committees,
at
the
cpc
and
and
diriden,
and
one
of
the
suggestions
are
going
to
make
is
that
we
combine
the
three
projects:
that's
the
derivative
bar
station
derivative
itself
and
downtown
west
into
a
single
eir.
P
Zero
hello
hi.
Can
you
hear
me?
Can
you
hear
me
hey?
Yes,
just
first
of
all
thank
tony
kaber
for
getting
right
on
it
with
the
problems
you're
having
with
zoom
zoom
is
terrible.
You
should
flush
it
right
now,
but
tony
got
back
to
me
quicker
than
san
jose
pd
or
san
jose.
Fire
department
shows
up
to
a
call
by
the
way.
P
They
also
need
a
little
bit
of
work
too,
but
this
is
coming
from
a
city
that
likes
to
find
and
tax
you
and
they
can't
even
get
presumed
the
zoom
right.
You
guys
need
to
work
on
that
now
going
to
transportation.
This
city
needs
to
get
off
the
light
rail
off
the
light
rail.
It
doesn't
work
it
it's
a
a
waste
of
money,
every
city
likes
it
because
you
get
a
lot
of
money
towards
the
transportation.
It
doesn't
work.
I've
been
to
the
original
one
in
switzerland
and
it's
it's
a
pile
of
crap.
P
You
need
to
either
get
you
need
to
get
rid
of
light
rail
and
run
buses
frequently,
and
that
would
solve
the
transportation
problem.
Secondly,
get
rid
of
those
rubber
blue
baby,
bumper
bike
bumpers
that
are
all
around
the
downtown.
It's
an
eyesore.
It's
gotten
rid
of
a
lot
of
parking,
it's
complicated,
not
just
for
a
bicyclist
but
for
a
driver,
and
that
was
santa
ricardo's
idea.
He
doesn't
need
to
be
present
today.
Maybe
he's
scrubbing
off
some
spray
paint
off
the
front
of
his
parents
house.
I
don't
know,
but
this
this
city.
P
P
D
Beekman
hi
for
this
issue,
this
item-
you
know
my
words
in
my
previous
comment.
I
think
I
ended
a
bit
strong
and
I'm
sorry
about
that.
You
know
it
the
bicycle:
the
the
transportation
project.
It's
got
tons
of
stuff,
including
the
av
stuff,
and
you
know
I
I,
the
previous
project,
the
bicycle
project.
To
me:
that's
got
ideas
that
are
both.
D
You
know,
they're,
like
they're,
practical
and,
and
you,
and
it
was
explained
you
know,
you're
in
on
things,
you're
working
on
things
and
accomplishing
goals
and
tasks
and
taking
it
step
by
step.
That's
the
kind
of
innovation,
that's
innovation!
You
know,
that's
the
future
of
san
jose
innovation.
I
feel
you
know
where
you
work
on
your
tasks,
complete
plans
and
all
of
a
sudden.
We
have
a
really
good
project
and
really
good
process
and
that's
what
the
bicycle
things
are,
and
I
just
think
it's
really
practical,
it's
more
practical
than
the
av
stuff.
D
I
I'm
accepting
of
the
abs
stuff.
I
wish
you
waited
until
the
beginning
of
next
year
to
start
on
the
av
stuff.
But
if
you
have,
you
know
a
good
perspective
at
this
time
and
just
simply
treat
it
as
a
kind
of
a
thought
process
more
as
an
instead
of
an
action
process.
I
think
that's
an
important
component
and
thank
you
very
much
again
that
council,
person,
perales
and
and
carrasco
will
be
on
the
project.
D
How
the
av
can
move
to
the
east
side
is
just
an
incredible
concept
and
has
to
be
considered
for
the
future
of
the
project
with
30
seconds
left
interesting
mention
about
abag
and
and
ftc,
I
think
stuff,
and
how
that
related
to
housing.
I
know
that
the
mtc
was
very
much
involved
with
housing
issues
in
the
past
year.
D
J
Brian
all
right
hi,
so
thanks
again
again
for
the
record,
my
name
is
brian
prescott,
I'd
again
like
to
thank
the
dna
committee
and
staff
for
for
putting
all
this
together.
I'm
not
going
to
filibuster
you
here,
but
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
the
en
movimiento
plan,
I'm
really
in
support
of
it
full
disclosure.
I
don't
live
in
the
neighborhood,
that's
addressed
by
that
plan,
but
considering
the
goals
of
equity
that
are
espoused
in
the
san
jose
general
plan
for
2040.
J
J
That's
a
really
big
deal
and
I
think
that's
a
really
good
move,
so
I'm
very
proud
of
the
city
for
moving
towards
that,
and
also
one
thing
I
would
like
to
say
is
that,
as
we
are
developing
things
like
emma
miento
and
the
transit
urban
villages,
one
concern
I
have
is
that
the
vta
and
other
of
the
transit
orgs
around
here
are
facing
funding
shortfalls
because
of
ridership
declines.
J
That
we've
seen-
and
I
hope
that
outside
of
this
committee,
where
any
of
y'all
are
serving
on
the
boards
of
those
organizations
that
we
would
continue
to
see,
funding
there,
because
that's
going
to
obviously
have
a
lot
to
do
with
what
what
these
developments
can
actually
do
to
help
our
citizens
make
use
of
the
resources
and
take
their
lives
into
their
own
hands.
So
thank
you
very
much.
B
A
You
clerk
are
there
any
more
commenters?
I
don't
see
any.
No.
Okay
just
want
to
make
sure,
since
I
missed
it
last
time
all
right
back
to
my
colleagues
councilmember.
C
So
ramses
thanks
for
that
presentation,
I,
like
the
the
rendering-
and
it
was
good
to
see-
I'm
curious.
I
remember
from
well
very
long
ago,
actually
that
there
were.
You
know,
complaints,
issues,
concerns
regarding
a
left
turn
and
regarding
the
signaling
down
tasman,
because
because
the
flow
of
traffic
and
some
employers
nearby
were
concerned
about
their
employees
getting
to
child
care
facilities
and
whatnot
and
we've
resolved
all
that.
O
Yeah,
thank
you.
Councilman.
We
were
able
to
resolve
and
find
a
good
balance
between
cisco's
concerns
around
access
from
their
primary
facilities
over
to
their
their
support
facility
there
on
first
street,
and
we
did
decide.
L
C
So
I
understand
this
is
a
vta
site
and
you're
with
the
city,
so
so
feel
free
to
say
you
can't
answer
this,
but
I
I
know
that
that
vta
had
a
kind
of
a
larger
regional
plan
right
to
do
these,
I
forget
what
they
were
called:
they
weren't
just
protected
by
planes.
C
It
was
like
a
bike
freeway
or
something
like
that,
but
but
the
the
weakness
or
the
challenge
for
vta
was
getting
approval
from
every
section,
as
you
saw
in
the
map,
as
we
went
through
each
jurisdiction,
milpitas
and
san
jose
and
santa
clara,
and
then
in
our
area
along
tasman,
we
had
the
concern
about
the
left
turn
right.
So
could
you
kind
of
just
give
us
a?
C
I
don't
know
like
a
health
check
on
the
status
of
that
vision
in
terms
of
if
I'm
a
biker
and
I'm
really
into
the
bike
super
highway
or
whatever
that
was
have
we
regionally
not
just
san
jose,
but
is
that
plan
still
intact,
more
or
less,
or
has
it
been
cut
by
a
million
paper
cuts.
O
I'll,
I
can
say
two
things
about
that
and
then
I'm
going
to
pass
it
on
to
john
sagani
from
vta
who's
also
here
on
the
panel.
So
one
the
corridor
is,
is
working
right
in
san
jose.
O
To
kind
of
with
some
really
great
work
from
our
design
division
get
better.
N
O
Super
bike
super
highway
study,
which
is
ongoing.
It's
early
stages
right
now,
just
trying
to
figure
out
exactly
what
corridors
are
going
to
be
used.
O
Kind
of
how
to
figure
out
how
to
make
that
all
work,
but
I'll
pass
it
off
to
john
tsukami.
Here.
E
E
Apart
from
our
county,
to
look
at
a
network
of
bicycle
facilities
that
has
you
know,
least
amount
of
traffic
interaction,
anything
that
helps
it
basically,
whether
it
be
great
separations
or
any
other
facili
type
of
facility
that
would
improve
bicycle
speeds
is,
is
kind
of
at
the
forefront
there,
so
they
are
looking
at
those
particular
locations,
and
I
want
to
say
also
for
tasman.
This
is
not
the
only
study
we're
doing
with
the
city
of
san
jose.
E
We've
also
done
the
story,
keys,
complete
street
study
and
we've
just
recently
finished
our
bascom
complete
street
study
that
is
kind
of
on
in
the
same
path.
Where
we're
looking
at
improving.
You
know
facilities
not
only
for
bicyclists,
but
also
the
pedestrians
and
making
sure
equitable
transit
access.
Is
there
as
well.
So
this
is
all
kind
of
a
big
effort,
not
only
by
vta
but
all
the
cities
within
our
county
and
special.
Thank
you
to
ramses
for
working
on
the
tasman
with
us
and
other
staff.
E
O
I
O
O
For
his
work
on
he's
the
project
manager
and-
and
he
really
deserves
to
be
noticed
for
his
his
incredible
work
there
and
getting
that
plan
over
and
working
with
the
community
so
well
and
yeah
just
wanted
to
make
sure.
I
said
that
before
we
got
out
of
here.
A
Thank
you.
I
did
want
to
ask
about
you.
You
had
shown
on
on
the
tasman
corridor
project
that
light
rail
slows
down,
especially,
I
think
you
had
mentioned
first
in
tasman
at
at
certain
intersections.
Do
they
does
vta
light
rail,
have
signal
priority
there,
or
is
that
something
that's
in
the
plan?
O
E
Yeah
yeah
at
that
location
we
do
have
single
priority.
However,
remember
we
also
implemented
the
orange
line.
That's
a
direct
line,
basically
from
east
san,
jose
all
the
way
towards
mountain
view.
E
A
That's
great,
so
one
part
of
the
the
complete
streets
study
and
the
plan
is,
is
really
to
improve
that
light.
Rail
kind
of
throughput,
so
it
can
go
faster.
Is
that
correct.
E
Yeah
and
the
the
plan
that
we've
just
completed
is
about
10
design,
so
this
is
what
we're
really
trying
to
do
with.
The
study
here
is
to
kind
of
set
a
vision
for
the
corridor
and
there's
still
more
work
to
be
done.
There's
still
more,
you
know
environmental
work
that
needs
to
be
done
and
design
work,
that
in
engineering
work.
That
needs
to
be
done
to
kind
of
make
sure
we
can
implement
all
these
improvements
and
we
are
working
with
the
city.
I
know
on
the
bascom
corridor.
E
A
Okay,
okay,
thank
you.
I
did
have
one
other
question
and
it
wasn't
on,
and
so
if
this
is
like
totally
out
of
left
field
staff,
you
can
just
tell
me
we
can
take
it
offline.
It
wasn't
part
of
the
presentation
today
but
part
of
the
the
memo
the
staff
memo
was
about
the
access
and
mobility
plan,
and
I
may
have
asked
this
before,
but
we
haven't
had
a
meeting
for
so
long
that
I
don't
remember
in
terms
of
the
access
and
mobility
plan.
A
Are
we
taking
taking
special
account
of
ada
accessibility
in
that?
Not
just
so.
Equity
can
be
along
many
lines
and
I'm
I'm
it's
it's
been.
It's
just
people
have
been
talking
to
me
about
ada
accessibility
in
particular
recently,
and
so
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that's
a
feature
of
that
plan,
and
not
just
an
afterthought
of
that
plan.
Yeah.
O
Thank
you.
That's
a
really
really
important
concern,
especially
when
thinking
across
the
entire
city
and
part
of
our
community-based
organizations
is.
We
have
got
the
assisted
living
center.
The
silicon
valley
assisted
living
center
on
our
on
our
our
equity.
H
O
A
Great,
thank
you
I
just
because
this
is
the
first
meeting
we've
had
in
a
while,
and
I
I've
I
know
some
people
have
had
trouble
getting
around
and
as
we
have
more
people
on
on
the
streets
we've,
I
it's
just
become
more
clear
for
people
with
walkers
people
in
in
wheelchairs
and
even
people
who
who
can
walk,
but
maybe
don't
have
the
the
speed
or
or
the
the
balance,
as
as
we
would
kind
of.
A
You
know
it
on
the
in
the
typical
range
that
that
there
are
a
lot
of
obstacles
just
on
our,
even
just
on
our
sidewalks,
that
you
wouldn't
necessarily
think
about,
because
as
we're
walking
as
I,
I
tend
to
walk
pretty
fast
and
kind
of
weave
weave
in
between
people,
if
they're,
if
there's
a
crowd
but
now
with
needing
to
keep
distance,
it's
it's
becoming
clear
that
we
have
poles
that
that
may
have
signage
on
it.
A
We
have
garbage
cans,
trash
cans
that
that
may
be
offset
and
getting
around
them
to
the
the
accessible
curb
on
the
sides
can
be
an
issue,
and
I
just
wanted
to
to
bring
that
up
and
to
ensure
that
that's
something.
A
That's
being
looked
at
on
the
in
the
access
and
mobility
plan,
I
know
rem
says
you
when,
when
you
were
talking
about
the
the
kind
of
innovative
ideas
for
the
airport,
connector
and
stevens
creek
boulevard,
you
did
mention
that
that
there
were
some
drawbacks
to
some
of
the
the
responses
to
the
to
the
rfi
that
we
put
out
that
there
weren't
they
weren't
all
accessible.
So
I
know
you're
thinking
about
it,
but
I
just
wanted
to
to
bring
that
up,
because
it's
not
something
that
we
that
normally
comes
to
this
level.
A
O
Chair
can
I
have
one
thing
just
to
make
sure
everybody's
aware:
movemento
will
be
going
to
council
later
this
year
and
we're
still
just
making
sure
just
want
to
make
sure
you
guys
are
aware
of
that.
It
just
didn't
come
now
for
a
recommendation.
Great.
A
B
A
Great,
thank
you
go
ahead
and
I
see
there
are
there's
one
more
too
go
ahead.
Blair.
D
Hi,
thank
you
for
public
open
forum
today,
I
there,
the
housing
initiatives
up
in
sacramento
1436
is
not
going
through.
At
this
time,
there's
been
a
switch
to
three
zero.
Eight
eight,
I
think,
is
what
its
build
title
is
it's
somewhat
similar
to
1436.
D
It's
been
authored
by
a
few
different
people.
Ash
kahwer
may
actually
be
around
it
still.
Also,
I'm
wondering
you
know
I
I
I
really
want
to
convey
the
idea
this
time
how
we
have
to
consider
the
overall
purp
things
that
have
happened
with
kovid
and
our
place
as
a
local
community.
D
Out
of
that
and
how
I
really
feel
we
are
deserved,
as
tenants
of
full
rent
forgiveness
practices,
and
so
are,
owners
and
owners
are
getting
great
deal
out
of
this,
and
it's
now
that
that
same
deal
has
to
be
applied
to
tenants
as
well,
and
it's
with
that
same
thinking
that
I
hope
that
you
will
be
considering
transportation,
fair
ideas
and
the
ideas
of
no
fair
ridership
that
has
to
be
considered
at
the
state
level
for
the
funding
to
make
it
so
so
local
transit
agencies
can
get
no
fair
ridership
plans
in
place
a
bit,
possibly
it's
a
concept
that
the
vtas
will
have
to
consider
in
the
following
months.
D
I
know
they
have
many
options
and
I,
I
hope,
they're
no,
fair
ridership
I
just
wanted
to
mention
it
here
is
how
we
need
to
think
of
things
at
this
time
with
45
seconds.
I
also
wanted
to
remind
with
all
the
work
with
the
vta
at
this
time.
You
know
I
wanted
to
stress
the
importance
of
being
a
separate
agency.
D
Then
bta,
the
city
of
san
jose,
is
they're,
doing
some
very
good
work
and
we're
relying
on
them
considerably.
With
things
and
thank
you
to
them
for
that
and
with
the
high-speed
rail
project
and
possibly
with
the
downtown
duradon
station
project,
you
know
those
are
concepts
that
I
hope
the
city
government
can
learn
how
to
talk
more
openly
with
the
public
about.
I
will
try
my
best
to
to
offer
honest
matter
of
fact
facts
about
the
process.
I
hope
you
can
do
the
same.
Thank
you.
A
K
Okay,
great
so
I'm
just
gonna
go
through
what
happened
last
week
and
the
kind
of
mess
we
into
so
we
had
multiple
meetings
with
the
vta.
K
We
are
the
capital
programs
committee,
and
then
we
had
the
derivative
meeting
on
friday
afternoon
and
it's
been
all
over
the
press
with
a
single
ball
tunnel
and
bus
station
entrances
in
the
north.
When
everybody
knows
everybody
will
be
accessing
bar
from
the
south,
and
it
is
particularly
a
problem
at
the
rhythm
I
mean
these
stack
platforms.
K
Are
therein
are
never
going
to
work
here
at
the
end
of
discussion,
so
the
question
is
what
to
do
about
it
and
well,
then,
let
me
talk
about
the
rhythm
itself
and
the
mess
that
we
saw
over
there.
The
first
thing
we
discovered
is
that
now
somehow
seymour
is
involved
in
the
rhythm
and
see
maf.
Is
you
know
it's
a
long
pole
in
the
tent?
Well,
do
you
know
what,
over
two
years
ago,
I
decided
to
design
the
station
just
to
make
sure
there
would
be
no
nexus.
Receivement
would
be
completely
separate.
K
We
spent
the
entire
weekend
going
through
all
the
calculations.
I
can
assure
you.
Cmov
has
got
nothing
to
do
with
what's
going
on
with
derivative
and
the
question,
and
now
we
have
got
this
bart
station
and
the
vta.
Somehow
it's
got
two
separate
projects,
and
here
the
idea
and
then
we
got
google
want
to
do
downtown
west
and
guess
what
ram
cessna
wants
to
do
his
april
connector.
K
So
to
close
a
long
story,
short
he's
my
recommendation
to
the
council
moving
forward.
Google
have
been
a
really
really
good
citizen.
They
approached
us
they
reached
out
to
ssc.
Could
you
please,
you
know,
help
us
out
design
our
downtown
west
village,
and
I
think
we
should
return
a
favor.
I
invite
them
to
help
us
design
all
our
transportation
infrastructure,
the
airport,
connector
dear
rhythm
and
the
bus
station
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we'll
have
a
much
better
result
and
guess
what
they're
ready
up
they're
ready
for
environmental
heroes.
Thank
you.
B
A
You
the
person
with
the
phone
number
ending
in
5140.
P
Hi
yeah
I've
called
before,
and
I
just
can't
I
have
to
reiterate
that
light
rail
should
be
phased
out.
It
doesn't
work
you
need
to
you
need
to
have
frequent
buses.
You
need
to
get
rid
of
these
bike
lanes.
I
can't
say
it
enough:
it's
awful
and
I
I
don't
think
that
investing
in
all
this
mass
transit
right
now
is
a
good
idea
who
can
use
it.
Nobody
can
use
it
without
wearing
a
freaking
body
suit.
P
P
We
have
here
same
rusty
wheels
that
squeak
complicated
ticket
machines
expensive
because,
as
I
can
tell
you
again,
it's
expensive
who's
going
to
use
mass
transit
when,
when
these
these
month-long
passes
cost
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
dollars
you
could
you
could
lease
an
electric
car
for
god's
sake,
I'm
telling
you
there's
transit,
you
got
it.
It's
not
working
certain
that
that
light
rail's
been
there
for
how
many
years
does
anyone?
Does
anyone
in
that
meeting
use
it
I'd
like
to
know
when's
the
last
time
I
used
it.
P
E
Yeah
I
live
in
downtown
san
jose
and
I
wanted
to
bring
to
this
committee's
attention
what
I
see
as
a
disturbing
increase
in
the
number
of
high-speed
drifting
and
doughnut
making.
That
seems
to
be
occurring
in
intersections
all
over
the
city
and
for
evidence
of
that
look
for
these
circular
skid
marks
at
large
intersections.
They
are
multiplying
greatly.
E
I
don't
know
whether
people
are
going
crazy
from
the
pandemic
or
whatever
it's
probably
only
a
matter
of
time
before
somebody
gets
hurt
or
killed,
probably
something
to
refer
to
the
police
department,
but
if
people
aren't
aware
just
be
aware
that
in
certain
parts
of
the
city,
this
is
a
growing
problem
and
it's
not
only
unsafe,
it's
certainly
noisy
as
heck
too.
I
happen
to
live
near
where
some
of
that
is
taking
place.
Thank
you.
