Commission and Council Comments
Revisions and New Scoring from Fall 2025
Commission Comments
The ATP was presented to the Bicycle Pedestrian Commission and
Planning Commission following Phase 1.
•Bicycle Pedestrian Commission – August 20, 2025
•Planning Commission – September 9, 2025
Areas of Consensus
•Safety should be prioritized, especially near schools and on the
Vision Zero HIN.
•Scoring criteria should emphasize objective, data-based
measures.
•Technology needs greater emphasis.
Council Comments
The ATP was also presented to the City Council following Phase 1.
City Council – November 04, 2025
Direction to Staff on Prioritization
•Use objective metrics for prioritization.
•Add Cost to the ranking criteria.
•Add impact to vehicular traffic on arterial streets as a criterion.
•Add and prioritize technology solutions.

New

Corridors
A New Project Category:
●The Council and
community requested
that transportation
technologies be given
greater consideration.
●Corridors created by
analyzing collision
history, reviewing
pedestrian
intersection
recommendations,
and assessing the
City’s ability to control
and implement
projects.

Scored Projects Using Revised Criteria
Scoring
Network Projects
Takeaways:
●Top Projects:
-School-related
-Vision Zero-related
-Low cost
●Scoring also prioritizes
implementable
projects with fewer
tradeoffs and less
delivery complexity.

Proposed New Guidelines
Project Impact Assessment and Effectiveness
Project Impact Assessment Guidelines
Why?
•Based on Council, Commission, and community requests for
project-specific comprehensive traffic operations analysis.
What?
•Present the preliminary engineering phase (30% design) to
Council to determine whether the project should undergo a
detailed analysis tailored to its specific impacts.
Project Effectiveness Guidelines
Why?
•Council, Commission, community, and staff’s desire to collect
more data on bicycle and pedestrian volumes, both generally
and for pre- and post-construction analysis.
What?
•A successful project will be one in which more people use the
facility while the collision rate remains the same or decreases. This
will be referred to as the Safety Plus Mode Shift (SPMS) rate, which
aligns with Vision Zero and Climate Action Plan objectives.
Commission Comments
Recommended New Scoring from Winter 2026
Commission Comments
The ATP was presented to the Bicycle Pedestrian Commission and
Planning Commission following Phase 2.
•Planning Commission – February 10, 2026
•Bicycle Pedestrian Commission – February 18, 2026
Areas of Consensus
•Safety should be prioritized for the Vision Zero HIN
•School scoring is overweighted and should be reduced
Recommended Adjustment
•Subtract 10 points from Schools and apply 10 to Vizion Zero HIN
Commission Comments
Key Takeaways
•Top projects remain unchanged. Most Neighborhood Routes
decrease in rank since they rely most heavily on School scoring.
•Projects on the HIN that are not also Suggested Routes to School
increase. This is especially true for Pedestrian projects on:
•Bollinger Rd, De Anza Blvd, Stelling Rd, and Homestead Rd.
Project Type Location Rank Change
Intersection: A, B, C Intersection Homestead Rd De Anza Blvd 78 to 39 +39
Intersection: A, B, C Intersection Stevens Creek Blvd De Anza Blvd 62 to 24 +38
Bike Lane Miller Ave Stevens Creek Blvd Calle De
Barcelona 87 to 66 +21
Intersection: A, B Intersection Bollinger Rd Clifden Way 108 to 71 +37
Intersection: A Intersection Torre Ave Pacifica Ave 49 to 97 -48

Next Steps
Document Development & Public Review
What Comes Next
Prepare Draft Report
•Compile the different elements of the Plan and address any
comments from Council.
•Organize the elements and prepare a Draft Plan document for
public review, which will be open for 1 month.
Summer 2026
•The Draft Plan will be brought to the City Council for adoption
consideration.
