3. Suggestions for Fiscal Year 2022/2023 City Work Program and Capital
Improvement Program inclusion (Eschelbeck)
David Stillman, Transportation Manager discussed the City Work Program and Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) suggestions made by the Bicycle Pedestrian Commission
(Commission) at their last meeting.
Dino Sakkas, public speaker advocated for the Bollinger Corridor Study to be on the CIP plan.
The changes will improve traffic safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists.
Chair Eschelbeck asked if there was going to be one recommended list, or two. Mr. Stillman
replied that the Work Program and the CIP lists were separate; the Commission discussed
Attachment A. Commissioner Carter suggested numbering the list. Mr. Stillman reminded the
Commission that they can only recommend a maximum of five Work Program items.
Mr. Stillman clarified that anything that involved a capital improvement, or the design of
capital improvement, would fall under the umbrella of CIP. The Bollinger Road Improvement
recommendations had a great number of facets, so he asked for more clarification on which part
7

Bicycle Pedestrian Commission
Regular Meeting
January 19, 2022
of Bollinger Road Improvements were recommend. Commissioner Lindskog thought the
touchless push buttons (push buttons) would eventually involve CIP funds.
Vice Chair Ganga did not see that Stevens Creek Boulevard Separated Bike Lane was
recommended. Mr. Stillman replied that Stevens Creek Boulevard was funded through the next
Fiscal Year (FY.) Chair Eschelbeck thought there would be no harm to adding it to the list.
Commissioner Lindskog did not think it was good to recommend something that had not been
discussed by the Commission, and push buttons had not been discussed. Chair Eschelbeck
agreed. Vice Chair Ganga commented that push buttons were a simple project, and if it gets put
on the Work Plan list, it will not be implemented until the following FY.
Chair Eschelbeck wondered if the items that were on the recommended list were committed to,
100 percent. Mr. Stillman said he took the recommended list made by the Commission tonight
and used that to make a recommendation to the City Council. Staff had the discretion to
recommend one or more of those projects.
Commissioner Carter reiterated what Commissioner Lindskog said, the Commission had not
really discussed some items being recommended. He felt items should not be recommended
until the Commission discussed them. Chair Eschelbeck was comfortable either way.
Commissioner Carter felt it was not clear what was lost by waiting another year to talk about a
Work Plan item before it was recommended. Commissioner Lindskog did not know how the
Commission could champion an item, without discussing it. Mr. Stillman commented that
Work Plan recommendations needed to be decided tonight. Commissioner Condamoor relayed
that other commissions recommended the touchless pedestrian push button item. Susan
Michael, Capital Improvement Programs Manager said there was a priority to recommend
Work Plan items because the City Council proposed a deadline. Staff tries to keep CIP items off
the Work Plan list because they come from different budgets. She will come back to the
Commission in April to update the Commission on what was recommended to the City
Council.
Chair Eschelbeck suggested discussing push buttons at the February meeting and finalizing the
CIP recommendations then. Ms. Michael said she needed the CIP recommendations tonight, but
the Commission could suggest the priority later.
Commissioner Lindskog suggested focusing on more concrete Work Plan items rather than
general ones. He suggested: 1) speed limit; 2) increasing bicycle parking; 3) Vision Zero; and 4)
“Near Miss” Data Collection and Pilot Study (“Near Miss.”) Commissioner Carter agreed with
that order. Vice Chair Ganga suggested Vision Zero, and “Near Miss.” Commissioner Carter
pointed out that recommending Vision Zero was too general. Vice Chair Ganga suggested
calling Vision Zero “Vision Zero Phase 2” to be more specific and have that as a separate
agenda item, to discuss that in more detail.

Bicycle Pedestrian Commission
Regular Meeting
January 19, 2022
Chair Eschelbeck saw bicycle parking and Vision Zero as high priorities, “Near Miss” and
speed limit were lower priority items. Commissioner Condamoor agreed Vision Zero was too
general, she suggested combining it with “Near Miss.” Chair Eschelbeck agreed that they could
be merged. Commissioner Condamoor inquired if Vision Zero needed to be recommended as a
Work Plan item to move forward with it. Mr. Stillman said yes. He added that he did not think
it would be good to merge “Near Miss” with Vision Zero because he was not sure that all the
near miss data would be part of Vision Zero. Commissioner Condamoor wanted to prioritize
Vision Zero, bicycle parking and speed limit lowering. She wanted to move the “Near Miss” to
the bottom because there were already pieces of the Vision Zero program in place. Vice Chair
Ganga supported that.
Commissioner Lindskog suggested determining if “Near Miss” was going to be part of Vision
Zero or not, then ask each Commissioner to rank the list in Attachment A. Commissioner Carter
suggested adding “request for money for a contractor” to Vision Zero, to make it more specific.
Mr. Stillman remarked that CIP items needed to be ranked for recommendation to the City
Council.
Ms. Michael commented that Stevens Creek Boulevard Phase 2 and 3 was projected to be
covered. Mr. Stillman said staff will be busy with Phase 2 next year. If the Commission wanted
to start design for Phase 3, they could note that, but he and Ms. Michael would need to discuss
that further.
Chair Eschelbeck asked about Carmen Road Bridge funding and said there were some property
issues. He wondered what that meant for the existing funding. As it stood now, staff was
looking at a significant skewing of the bridge, which would be a much more challenging design.
Vice Chair Ganga wondered what specifically the Commission needed to request now. Mr.
Stillman suggested design dollars.
MOTION: Commissioner Lindskog moved, seconded by Commissioner Condamoor to
recommend to the City Council the following City Work Program items and Capital
Improvement Programs items, ranked from first to last as follows:
Work Plan Items
1. Increasing Bicycle Parking Facilities
2. Vision Zero (hiring consultant to complete policy and action plan documentation)
3. Speed Limit Lowering (AB 43)
4. “Near-miss” Data Collection and Pilot Study
Capital Improvement Programs Items
1. Bollinger Road Improvements (from completed Fiscal Year 20/21 Study)

Chair and Vice Chair.
5. McClellan Road Separated Bikeway Phase 3 (De Anza Boulevard/McClellan
Road Intersection) project update (Aumentado)
Marlon Aumentado, Assistant Engineer presented on the De Anza Boulevard and McClellan
Road/Pacifica Drive Intersection Modifications. Staff was looking to complete the extra five
percent design so they could move into construction.
Vice Chair Carter recalled there was discussion last time about leaving an opening for the
property owner’s business, next to the eastbound lane on McClellan Road toward Pacifica
Drive. Mr. Aumentado confirmed the opening was left open.
Muni Madhdhipatla, public speaker inquired if there was an opportunity to get easements for
the northwest and southeast corners of the intersection later. He suggested gathering input
from the public.
Mr. Aumentado replied that staff was not looking for right-of-way from the opposite two
corners. Regarding public input, this item went to the Bicycle Pedestrian Commission
(Commission) in August 2021 and for conceptual design. Chair Ganga wondered if there were
other opportunities for the public to provide input. Mr. Stillman reiterated that presentation to
the Commission was considered a venue for public input, which this item had been to the
Commission several times, as well as City Council.

Bicycle Pedestrian Commission
Regular Meeting
January 19, 2022
Commissioner Lindskog wondered if there would be bike markings for bicyclists who were
waiting on the corner of McClellan Road and De Anza Boulevard to cross De Anza Boulevard
going south. Mr. Aumentado offered to investigate a left-turn queue box at that corner.
Commissioner Lindskog felt the location for cyclists to wait at that corner, as it was right now,
exposed them. Mr. Aumentado said there were pre-cast curbs in place.
Chair Ganga reminded Mr. Aumentado of a suggestion made by the Commission from when
this item previously came to the Commission. Regarding the bike lane on the corner of De Anza
Boulevard and Pacifica Drive there was a request to have a queue box. Chair Ganga wanted that
input to be made note of and he asked for the report of a possible solution. Additionally, the
signal timing was too short. Mr. Aumentado assured the Commission that the consultant was
looking into that.
Commissioner Lindskog inquired if a bicyclist was on Pacifica approaching De Anza Boulevard
and was going to turn right on De Anza Boulevard northbound, would they wait at the island
on the corner of Pacifica Drive and De Anza Boulevard, or was that for pedestrians. Mr.
Aumentado said they would have to go around the pre-cut area and follow the striping. He
offered to see if it was possible to place a lone pre-cast curb on that corner. The conflict was the
right turn movements onto De Anza Boulevard for vehicles; he would check with the
consultant. Mr. Stillman agreed to straighten out the bike lane, to make the striping clearer for
bicyclists.
6. Stevens Creek Boulevard Separated Bikeway Phase 2 project update
(Aumentado)
Marlon Aumentado, Assistant Engineer gave a presentation on the Stevens Creek Boulevard
Separated Bikeway Phase 2 project update. Phase 2 was at 65 percent design and the plan was
to extend the current Class 4 bike lanes from Wolfe Road to Highway 85.
Vice Chair Carter felt there should be regular breaks in the bike lanes. A cyclist could get stuck
in the bike lane or they could get blocked and could possibly have a hard time getting back in.
Commissioner Lindskog felt the opposite; gaps in the bike lane were not helpful. Commissioner
Eschelbeck wondered if the openings could be more frequent but shorter. This would make it
easier for the bicyclist to maneuver, and hard for the vehicle to enter. Commissioner Lindskog
added that the gap would need to be very long for it to be done safely. Commissioner
Eschelbeck did not want to block the option. Chair Ganga thought a gap was helpful.
Chair Ganga wanted to see a bike box, or sufficient space on the intersection for bikers that
wanted to go straight, this was so bicyclists had space until they got the signal to cross. Mr.
Aumentado promised to pass that feedback along.
Chair Ganga wondered if there was going to be separate signals for pedestrians and cyclists.
Mr. Aumentado replied that the five intersections named in his presentation were going to have
traffic signal improvements with bike phasing. Staff was exploring these options with some of
11
7
Bicycle Pedestrian Commission
Regular Meeting
January 19, 2022
the minor streets if it fit the budget. Each traffic signal improvement cost the City of Cupertino
roughly $250,000.
Commissioner Eschelbeck asked about the automated detection software and wondered if that
was going to be installed. Mr. Aumentado noted that and said what was seen at westbound
Wolfe Road was what would be mimicked for this design. David Stillman, Transportation
Manager announced that the locations that have dedicated bicycle phasing were to have early
detection for the bicyclists along those phases. There was not need for early detection on
Stevens Creek Boulevard because it rested in green anyway.
Commissioner Lindskog inquired about the bus stop proposal and if the shelter for the bus stop
was on the sidewalk side; was there enough space from the bike path to the shelter. He
suggested having the shelter on the street side so a person was not able to walk through the
back of the shelter. Mr. Aumentado said it was necessary to maintain some type of Americans
with Disability Act (ADA) access to accommodate the shelter, as well as on the platform.
Vice Chair Carter wondered if there was a buffer between where people walk off the bus to the
sidewalk or was there clear signage for the bicyclist. Mr. Aumentado said there was sufficient
space for the person getting off the bus, as they would be on a raised platform. He offered to
add some striping, to make the delineation even more clear. The bus stop was most likely going
to be at street grade, and then have an ADA ramp crossing the bike lane. Mr. Stillman said a
slight modification would be to have the bike lane at street level and have the pedestrians cross
over to the island on a raised surface that acted as a gentle speed bump to slow bicyclists down
as they approach the area. Commissioners liked that idea.
Chair Ganga wanted the shelter located on the side with the platform, and to have it at street
level. Mr. Stillman said there were ADA concerns, and he did not know if there was enough
width to accommodate the shelter. Vice Chair Carter preferred the bike lane to be elevated, and
the other parts not elevated.
Vice Chair Carter said the Highway 85 portion of the staff presentation was the most complex;
he wondered if there was going to be another discussion on this. Mr. Stillman summarized and
said instead of having the bike lane go to the left of the right turn lane that went onto the
freeway, the bike lane will be in a protected Class 4 facility, behind concrete buffers. Then there
will be a protected signal phase so the bicyclist would be protected from the cars that are
turning right onto the highway.
Commissioner Eschelbeck asked if the bike lane would be added onto the bridge. He did not
think the bridge was wide enough. Mr. Stillman said this design integrated with the bridge on
the other side of the intersection. A person could access the existing bike lane on the other side
of the bridge, according to what was being proposed; the bridge itself was going to be
addressed in Phase 3. It was unlikely that there would be a significant modification to the
bridge once the project extended onto Stevens Creek Boulevard Phase 3. Once Phase 3 began, he
would look at what could be done with the existing structure to provide for protection for
bicyclists. There was no projected change to the structure of the bridge. Chair Ganga clarified
12
8
Bicycle Pedestrian Commission
Regular Meeting
January 19, 2022
that the question was if the improvement was going to be a separated bike lane and was it
going to be compatible with the improvements done on the right side. Mr. Stillman said it was
like what was on Stevens Creek Boulevard and Wolfe Road now, there was a protected bike
lane on the east side and nothing on the west. Chair Ganga suggested installing a barrier. Mr.
Stillman agreed to looking into putting bollards on the overpass.
Commissioner Eschelbeck raised a concern that the bridge was too narrow, which causes the
space for the bicyclist to be unsafe. Mr. Stillman said the most complaints received in the City
was along the Westport frontage where bikes had to compete with cars accelerating into the
right turn onto the freeway. This proposal eliminates that hazard by separating the bicyclists
from the vehicles. Commissioner Eschelbeck agreed that the design improved the existing
condition. Chair Ganga thought the current improvement looked good.
STAFF AND COMMISSION REPORTS
7. Staff update and Commissioner activity report (All)
David Stillman, Transportation Manager mentioned the Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP,) a
comprehensive safety plan for all modes of transportation, all ages and mobilities; it was a city-
wide view, not a specific corridor. He was looking for volunteers from the Bicycle Pedestrian
Commission (Commission) to be part of the stakeholder group. It was to be a small group of
people that were able to weigh in on safety aspects. There were two to three meetings between
now and the end of the project, which would last until the end of summer. Commissioner
Lindskog said he could be interested. Commissioner Eschelbeck was available. Chair Ganga
said Commissioner’s Eschelbeck and Lindskog were to participate in the meetings.
Mr. Stillman was looking to set up the meeting for the Lawson Middle School Bike path item,
which was heard last month.
Chair Ganga updated the Commission on the Vision Zero Subcommittee. They talked about
Phase 1 and the Resolution.
Commissioner Lindskog updated the Commission on the Valley Transportation Authority,
Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee report from January 12, 2022.
Chair Ganga said Commissioner Eschelbeck attended the Safe Routes to School meeting for
January. It was Commissioner Lindskog’ s turn to attend these meetings in February.
