NEW BUSINESS
3) New Bike Routes:
Commissioner Chan brought up the absence of bike routes connecting the Blackberry
Farm path/bridge between Scenic Circle and San Fernando Avenue. This path was
intended for school commute use. Since the city only maps official bike routes for the
Suggested Routes to Schools, it is necessary to add bike routes to complete a full route to
school. This request was brought to staff before, but has not been acted upon. Mr.
Stillman will investigate.
OLD BUSINESS
4) Pedestrian Transportation Guidelines:
Mr. Stillman has received three chapters to date. The remaining chapters should be sent
to him prior to the next meeting. The Commission asked Mr. Stillman for information on
the Main Street site and pedestrian connectivity with the Rose Bowl site.
5) Bike to Work Day Wrap-up:
Commissioner Chan reported that there were 241 riders counted passing the energizer
station. Rider traffic was low at the second station across the street, but the Commission
will try it again next year as long as the property owner is still willing. Many riders were
unaware of the second station and still crossed the street to the Quinlan tables. Most
visitors were disappointed we did not have food. We will need a budget to purchase food
next year.
6) Hotlist:
The Hotlist was reviewed and updated. Many of the rough pavement items should be
covered by the city-wide pavement projects. There will be a new bike control for the
Torre/Vista @ Stevens Creek intersection for riders going southbound.
FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
• Pedestrian Transportation Plan
• Rose Bowl/Main Street Pedestrian Plans
