MINUTES
MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE
BICYCLE PEDESTRIAN COMMISSION
February 19, 2020
The meeting was called to order at 7:05 p.m.
ROLL CALL:
• Present: Muni Madhdhipatla, Gerhard Eschelbeck, Ilango Ganga & Erik
Lindskog
• Absent: Jennifer Shearin
• Staff: David Stillman, City Transportation Manager, Michael Zimmermann,
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Manager, Mellownie Salvador, Public
Works Project Manager
• Others Present: Nicholas Poplarghgy??, Mathew Widmann, Atharv Sule,
Ashwini Tamhane.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
1. Chair Eschelbeck corrected the recommended action date to January 15, 2020.
Commissioners reviewed and agreed on six error corrections, as well as the addition
of the Vice Chair Election to the draft. Chair Eschelbeck moved to approve the Jan
15, 2020 meeting minutes including the six error corrections and adding the Vice
Chair Election. Commissioner Madhdhipatla seconded. The motion passed 4-0-1
(Shearin absent)
ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Erik Lindskog: Target made renovations but is missing bike racks to lock the bikes.
David confirmed that they are required to build the bike rack, but he’s not sure when
they will do it. The city cannot force them to build it in some order.
Muni asked for the requirement of the bike racks during renovation. Erik confirmed
that there was a bike rack there, but it got removed as part of the renovation while the
store was open. David is to review the Municipal code for this issue and suggest
changes if needed, as it is odd for a store to operate without a bike rack.
Mathew Widmann: He wanted to know if the commission is aware of a state survey on
speed limit rules. AB2121 says that if the speed limit was installed 6 years ago, it
becomes unenforceable without conducting another study. In Cupertino, some streets
seem to be allowing higher speed for their intended use. Is the city commission and
council interested in sending a letter supporting this new legislation? Erik suggested to
add it for future meeting agenda.
WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
None
OLD BUSINESS
2. McClellan Road Two-Stage Left-Turn Bike Boxes
a. McClellan road two stage left turn box: There was a lot of feedback from
residents initially and the noise died down of late. Staff observed recently how it
is being used during morning and afternoon school peaks. No one seems to be
using the boxes. People always seem to do what they have done before. One
person seems to have used the bike box on Bubb/McClellan crossing on 2
occasions. With this information, do we want to keep them or change it?
All Commissioners suggested to keep it and educate the community. Gerhard
made a motion to keep the bike boxes, augment it with training elements, and
conduct feasibility of Dutch intersection at these junctions. The motion passed 4-
0-1 (Shearin absent).
NEW BUSINESS
3. Bicycle Transportation Plan
Capital Improvement Manager Michael Zimmerman provided updates on various
CIP projects.
a. Bike Boulevard project Phase 1 – Staff recommended to Council to reject all
bids.
1. The staff did some study with cones to assess resident’s reaction to these
changes.
2. The budget was for $1.5 mil and the bids came in at $1.75 mil for just Phase
1.
3. The staff is going to recommend asking for more funding in upcoming CIP
cycle and approach all 3 phases in one go.

between Bike projects, parks projects and so on.
5. Ilango asked if we are looking at other funding sources?
6. Staff said we will look at all avenues.

c. McClellan Ph 1 & Ph 2 are complete.
d. Bubb Road project is being planned. This is fully funded by Apple and is being

1. What happens to the bike lane between property and 85 sound wall? Is this
staying or going to rerouted?
2. David said that City is working with the property owner.
f. Regnart Creek Trail: Designs are ongoing. Permits filed with the California
Department of Fish and Wildlife. Staff is working with Water District to build a
new ramp into the creek by this summer. The study is open to public comments

transportation, focusing on streets, in addition to bi cycle and pedestrian issues.

PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
Meeting: February 6, 2019
Subject
Blackberry Farm Entrance Road Improvements – Feasibility Study Public Meeting
Recommended Action
Receive the information of the Public Meeting on Blackberry Farm Entrance Road
Improvements – Feasibility Study.
Background
The City of Cupertino Department of Public Works is working with Underwood and
Rosenblum on a feasibility study to provide safer pedestrian and bike pathways at the
entrance road to Blackberry Farm on San Fernando Avenue.
As a part of the 2016 Bicycle Transportation Plan, the Stevens Creek Bike Boulevard
route starts at the intersection of San Fernando Avenue and Orange Avenue and
proceeds west through the Blackberry Farm Park to connect to the Stevens Creek Trail
and Scenic Circle. The Stevens Creek Bike Boulevard connects to the McClellan
Bikeways to the south and to the Foothill Bike route to the west. These connections to
the bikeways would be safer and more scenic for bicyclists than riding on a heavily
travelled and high speed road like Stevens Creek Boulevard.
Currently, the width of the entrance road to Blackberry Farm for bicycles, pedestrians
and vehicles varies from 18 to 24 feet, which is too narrow to be shared by all that are
using the various modes of transportation. There are constant conflicts when
negotiating the movements of bicycles, pedestrians, and vehicles all at the same time
and in both directions. This feasibility study will identify, evaluate and estimate the
costs for the various options to improve the safety and the accessibility for non-vehicular
visitors to the Blackberry Farm Park and Stevens Creek Trail.
Discussion
The City of Cupertino Department of Public Works will work with Underwood and
Rosenblum to present to the public on Wednesday February 12, 2020 the various design
options and the preferred option based on effectiveness, costs and constructability.
The public meeting will be an opportunity to collect feedback from the community
about the options available to improve the pedestrian and bike access.
Sustainability Impact
The feasibility study phase of the Blackberry Farm Entrance Road Improvements does
not have any sustainability impact.
Fiscal Impact
Funds for this project are allocated in the FY2019-2020 Capital Improvement Program.

Blackberry Farm Access Road Improvement and Feasibility Study
Cupertino, CA

Background:
Blackberry Farm is a beautiful community asset in the City of Cupertino. Besides its recreational pool
and cafe, it offers the residents group picnics sites, educational programs, hosts wild animal exhibits and
festivals and sits next to the Blackberry Golf Course. In other words, it is like a jewel for the community.
There is room for improvements however. For example, the fence next to the road leading to the farm
is overgrown with brush and blocks the sun from the road, but there is a bigger issue. This Access Road
is too narrow, curved and steep and at times, pedestrians, bicyclists and 18-wheeler tractor trailers
share the same space!
The preference is to separate the pedestrian and non-motorized traffic from using the same lanes as the
motorized (vehicular, motorcycle and truck) traffic and increase the safety of this Access Road.
Feasibility Study:
This study was commissioned to look at different alternatives to make the Access Road safer for the
public’s use and pick the alternative(s) that strike the best balance between safety, cost, road widening,
tree loss, traffic impacts, constructability and ease of maintenance.
Federal, State and local rules dictate that when there is an improvement to any public facility, the needs
of the disabled community must be considered which means the ADA rules must be followed. These
rules set a limit (8%) on steepness of the paths that can be used in design of ADA Path of Travel. The
accessible paths can’t be steeper than 8% in longitudinal direction or 2% in cross slope.
In our situation, the Access Road is too narrow (17’) and is too steep (10%) on the east (uphill) side. It is
also bounded by an existing rock retaining wall on the south side and a wooded steep sloped
embankment on the north side. Blackberry Farm is at the west end of this road.
In developing the alternatives, the features of the Access Road (the 10% slope and being too narrow)
prevented consideration of placement of the ADA path next to the road. One common method that
designers use to place the accessible path next to steep roadways are to use zig zag alignment (or use
switch backs) if there were available space next to the road. An extreme example would be the famous
Howard St. in San Francisco. But here we don’t have the width needed to use that option. The road is
too narrow as it is.
Another option would have been to raise (grade separate) the ADA Path from the roadway, which would
have meant even bigger widenings for the road and for the path would be needed. But we run into the
same issue, that the road is too narrow as it is. So, we ended up developing 5 alternatives and
compared them to each other in order to select the better alternatives.
Discussions:
The 5 alternatives compared were labeled A through E. Before discussing them, we need to remind you
that we had the pedestrians, ADA community, bicyclists, motorcyclists, automobiles and the delivery
trucks that all need to use the access road to get to this facility. Since the road is too steep for the ADA
Path, the path would be constructed separately and away from the road. It then follows that the
Pedestrians should also use the same path as well.

Since the speeds are pretty low, the motorized vehicles can also safely share the road together. This
leaves the bicyclists who are traveling west (descending) or travelling east (climbing) to talk about. It
was reasoned that because of the steepness of the road, the descending bicyclists (travelling west
towards the BBF) on the Access Road can safely share the road with the descending motorized vehicles
and will not back them up or risk being run over. However, the Climbing bicyclists need their own lane,
as they will back the traffic up if they are forced to share the lane with the climbing motorized vehicles.
The alternatives share the following features:
- The descending bicycle movement shares the road with descending autos for the reason
explained before.
- In most (Except E) the alternatives use the pedestrians use the ADA Path alignment.
- They are all concrete surfaced. They are slab on grade for a portion of the alignment and
elevated above the landscape for the rest.
- The ADA path is 10’ in width except Alternative B which is 14’.
- In all alternatives, the ADA path is presumed to use the same size CIDH piles for the elevated
portion of the alignment.
- In all alternatives, there will be varying widening of the road, which means there will be
varying tree losses in order to build retaining walls on the slope.
The alternatives are different in the following ways;
- Alternatives A locates the proposed climbing bicycle movement next to the existing rock
retaining wall.
- Alternative B proposes a 14’ wide path as it brings the climbing bicycle movement next to
the ADA path.
- Alternatives C locates the proposed climbing bicycle movement on the north side of the
road over the widened portion.
- Alternative D looks beyond the box and considers traffic signals to regulate the flow of
traffic.
- Alternative E explores how a normal sidewalk on each side of the roadway could function
but we still have to have the separate ADA path.
So, let’s consider each alternative. Please see the corresponding plan sheet as we discuss each one and
their advantages and disadvantages below:
Alternative A (As shown on Plan):
This alternative involves widening the narrow portion of the road (on the north side) and
locating the 5’ climbing bicycle lane (on the south side and) next to the existing rock retaining
wall. This configuration meets many of the desired features, for example bicycle movement is in
the same direction as the adjacent auto lane. On the east side, this bike path enters the fork (Y
intersection) and clear signage and striping is needed to make sure the auto traffic is aware of
presence of incoming bikes. It also removes 4 trees due to the ADA Path and 17 trees as part of
the widening and retaining wall tasks and is estimated to cost $3.01M to construct.

Alternative B (As Shown on Plan):
This alternative shifts the climbing bicycle lane (from Alternative A) next to the ADA Path and
makes it 14’ wide instead of 10’. This alternative meets many of the desired features like safety,
limiting tree loss and constructability its cost will be low as well. Like other alternative, it has
disadvantages also. One is that not all bicyclists may obey the signs and use the designated path
for climbing movement as it is not a natural instinct to leave the road. However, over time they
would realize that they have a dedicated path and then will learn to use it. We estimate the
tree loss to be 5 due to the ADA Path and 5 due to the widening and retaining wall tasks. The
cost of this Alternative is estimated to be $3.12M to construct.
Alternative C (As shown on the Plan):
This is similar to Alternative A, except that it shifts the climbing bicycle lane to the north side of
the road (and over the widened portion). This will eliminate the issue of routing the bicycle lane
through the middle of the Y intersection (the fork), thus increases safety. However, traveling in
opposite direction of the adjacent vehicular lane, is counter intuitive and not very logical. So,
safety is not improved much. The cost is lowest but just a bit less than Alternative A, as the
widening area is the same but it will handle the lower weight of bicycles and not truck traffic.
This alternative result in the same tree loss as the Alternative A. It removes 4 trees due to the
ADA Path and 17 trees as part of the widening and retaining wall tasks. The cost of this
Alternative is estimated to be about $3.00M to construct.
Alternative D (as Shown on the Plan):
This is the Traffic Signal alternative. We can call this the “Thinking out of the box alternative”. It
treats the fork area as an intersection and proposes to use 2 traffic signals to regulate the traffic
movement. It uses only one lane of the Access Road for Bi-directional travel! It results in a
smaller widening of the Access Road. However, the cost of the Traffic Signals will be
astronomical and it will create too much delay and inconvenience in waiting for the light to turn
green. It is also a non-familiar solution, since residents need to get used to using the lane in a
bi-directional fashion. On the plus side, it only removes only 4 trees due to the ADA Path and 5
trees due to widening and retaining wall tasks. It is estimated to cost $3.97M to construct.
Alternative E:
This alternative proposes to have 2 sidewalks (one on each side of the road). This alternative
was not evaluated initially, since the ADA Path would still have to be built. Also, as in
Alternative A the climbing bicycles as well as the pedestrian will be routed through the Y
intersection. The added descending sidewalk on the northside of the road creates additional
widening and retaining wall areas which will result in highest tree loss than other alternatives.
So, besides the safety issues, it removes 4 trees due to the ADA Path and 25 trees as part of the
widening and retaining wall tasks. The alternative is estimated to cost $3.58M to construct.
The following Table, shows the summary of comparisons of the alternatives and tabulates their
advantages and disadvantages.

The Preferred Option
As the table above shows Alternative A and B scored higher than the other alternatives as they provide
the best balance of safety for the Pedestrians, ADA Community as well as the bicycle community. They
cost less, remove less number of tree, are environmentally friendly and relatively easy to construct. The
color rendering shows relative location of the path in relation to the Access Road.
The input and opinion of the public and bicyclist community is appreciated and sought to further decide
on the final choice.
