00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.510
Quinlan Conference Room: It's, 7 o'clock.
2
00:00:02.560 --> 00:00:05.440
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): And I ask staff to proceed with the
rollerblower piece.
3
00:00:06.310 --> 00:00:08.520
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, thank you, Chair. Chair
Eshelbeck?
4
00:00:08.740 --> 00:00:16.589
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Here. Vice Chair Maripatla? Here.
Commissioner Ganga? Yes. Commissioner Marcy? Here. Commissioner Wolf?
Here.
5
00:00:16.850 --> 00:00:18.580
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Cherry, I have a question.
6
00:00:19.240 --> 00:00:22.339
Quinlan Conference Room: Wonderful, thank you. That takes us to our
first,
7
00:00:22.345 --> 00:00:31.844
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): agenda item tonight, which is the
approval of the meeting minutes, from January 29, and we have received
the draft minutes with the package.
8
00:00:32.045 --> 00:00:35.675
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So I'm asking for their, feed type,
9
00:00:36.615 --> 00:00:38.725
Quinlan Conference Room: Corrections, amendments.
10
00:00:38.965 --> 00:00:41.934
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): For a motion to approve those…
11
00:00:59.030 --> 00:01:01.590
Quinlan Conference Room: I make the motion to approve the minutes.
12
00:01:02.540 --> 00:01:05.980
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, we have a motion. Anybody
seconds that motion?
13
00:01:06.380 --> 00:01:12.900
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Second, that's… Oh, should we have a
second.
14
00:01:13.410 --> 00:01:18.340
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Can you, ask for a vote on the
motion, please?
15
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:24.059
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Approval of the… January 29th, 2020.
16
00:01:24.510 --> 00:01:33.469
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Minutes, how do you vote, Chair
Eshelbeck? Yes. Vice Chair Madipala? Yes. Commissioner Ganga? Yes.
Senator Marcy? Yes. Commissioner Wolf? Yes.
17
00:01:33.610 --> 00:01:35.219
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Motion passes 5-0.
18
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:43.889
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): That takes us to, postponements. Are
there any postponements from…
19
00:01:44.170 --> 00:01:51.350
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): previous meetings? Yeah. Okay,
wonderful. I know we are not talking about written communications, but at
least I wanted to acknowledge…
20
00:01:52.180 --> 00:01:55.139
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Written communications that we have
recently…
21
00:01:55.410 --> 00:01:58.960
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): On the public website, as of this
evening.
22
00:01:59.950 --> 00:02:12.660
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Next item on the agenda is oral
communications. This part of the meeting is reserved for any topics or
any persons wishing to speak on a topic that's not on the agenda tonight.
23
00:02:12.990 --> 00:02:28.320
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): We are limiting those to 3 minutes.
First speaker, if there is anybody, waiting for speaking tonight on a
topic not on the agenda, either online or in person here, please speak up
now.
24
00:02:29.850 --> 00:02:31.560
Quinlan Conference Room: We have no speakers, Chair.
25
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:33.120
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Wonderful, thank you.
26
00:02:33.270 --> 00:02:39.319
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So no speakers tonight. I'm closing
the public comment period for this meeting tonight, for this agenda
tonight.
27
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:42.909
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): That takes us to our old business.
28
00:02:43.180 --> 00:02:55.470
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Which is item number 2 on the
agenda, and we are discussing the Cupertino Active Transportation Plan,
and I think Matt Cherido is going to walk us through, kind of, the update
from, I guess, from the previous one.
29
00:02:57.770 --> 00:03:04.799
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yes, so I'm happy to go through the
presentation, for commissioners again, but it will be the same as what
was.
30
00:03:05.083 --> 00:03:20.682
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): So maybe for the purposes of this
meeting, we could just have a more focused discussion on the points that
you want to bring up. We did go to the Planning Commission last week to
present the same information to them, and received comments from the
Planning Commission.
31
00:03:21.163 --> 00:03:35.623
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then we will be going to Council
tomorrow night to, once again, present the same information. And the
comments that we heard from Planning, as well as the comments that we'll
gather here tonight, will be included in a desk item and presented to the
City Council.
32
00:03:38.010 --> 00:03:53.269
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay. Yeah, I think it makes sense
to not repeat the presentation from last time. I think that makes perfect
sense. So I'm just wondering, maybe just… let's just go through, the
commissioners here quickly and see if there's any clarifying questions,
or any comments on…
33
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:56.519
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): items that we are talking about
here?
34
00:03:58.790 --> 00:04:01.919
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Dr. Ratt, I would like to request
if,
35
00:04:02.650 --> 00:04:08.450
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): we can see the Planning Commission
minutes, or the notes from… Planning Commission?
36
00:04:09.140 --> 00:04:13.910
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So that way we can see what they
have augmented as well.
37
00:04:14.450 --> 00:04:21.580
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): So the Planning Commission minutes
are still in draft form. They haven't been finalized yet or published on
the website. I…
38
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:27.590
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): I have my written notes from what we
heard, so it may not be verbatim, but you can get, kind of, the gist of
what
39
00:04:27.690 --> 00:04:35.029
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): occurred, the Commission conducted a
couple different straw polls.
40
00:04:35.180 --> 00:04:40.170
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): To provide comments to staff and to
the council.
41
00:04:40.450 --> 00:04:45.470
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): The first of which came from… chair,
42
00:04:45.900 --> 00:04:58.239
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): to, have a straw poll, to consider
the ways in which public safety response times, so EMS response times,
can be incorporated into the project recommendations.
43
00:04:58.380 --> 00:05:06.360
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): There was one in favor, and then no
opposed, or no abstentions, according to the notes here.
44
00:05:06.460 --> 00:05:19.379
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then one of the commissioners,
Commissioner Winskog, conducted a non-binding straw poll to rescore the
criteria to reduce the weight of the, safety scoring.
45
00:05:19.500 --> 00:05:27.570
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): for routes to school, as well as on
cost effectiveness, and increase the weighting for the Vision Zero High
Injury Network.
46
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:46.260
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And also, developed new metrics for
documented KSIs, in hopes of addressing, what she says, the accident on
Foothill Boulevard. So that was 5 in favor, 0 opposed, and 0 abstentions.
47
00:05:47.210 --> 00:05:52.529
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): The chair also conducted a non-
binding draw poll supporting
48
00:05:52.670 --> 00:06:03.570
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): incorporating emergency response
times into the programmatic recommendations. So there was 3 in favor of
this, 2 opposed, and no abstentions.
49
00:06:04.260 --> 00:06:09.910
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Commissioner Feng conducted a non-
binding straw poll to…
50
00:06:10.070 --> 00:06:20.000
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): separate parks from the access
criteria, as well as proximity to schools, so having those be their own
standalone.
51
00:06:20.060 --> 00:06:39.939
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): categories. There was four in favor,
1 opposed, and 0 abstentions. And then Commissioner Rao conducted a non-
binding straw poll, stating that they discard the materials that were
proposed and start over. There was one in favor, 2 opposed, and two
abstentions.
52
00:06:43.610 --> 00:06:50.179
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Very helpful, thank you. Just one
question. What's the difference between this straw poll and… so there's
no motions?
53
00:06:50.180 --> 00:06:53.060
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Correct. I'm not really sure on the…
54
00:06:54.590 --> 00:06:57.530
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Like, the bureaucratic
technicalities of that.
55
00:06:58.640 --> 00:07:00.600
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Non-binding. It's less binding.
56
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:12.100
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, it's not a… yeah, it's not a
formal action for the Commission as a whole. It doesn't represent the
voice of the Commission, but it just gives a sense of where commissioners
stand on certain issues.
57
00:07:12.700 --> 00:07:17.410
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah. So is there a reason you
wouldn't do a motion? Is it just.
58
00:07:18.260 --> 00:07:32.950
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): They felt that they wanted to
provide their input individually, rather than collectively trying to
establish a motion as a group. So this way, there was kind of some
discrepancies with each of their comments, so they just wanted to make
sure that those were voiced and on the record.
59
00:07:34.150 --> 00:07:34.930
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay.
60
00:07:36.010 --> 00:07:44.440
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): All right. Any other clarifying
questions, comments from Commissioners? Yeah. I have a couple clarifying
questions. One is.
61
00:07:45.050 --> 00:07:46.030
Quinlan Conference Room: I noticed…
62
00:07:46.700 --> 00:07:48.500
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Well, Alicia, I think the…
63
00:07:48.890 --> 00:07:54.270
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): The intersection, as far as the
project prioritization goes, the intersection of Wolf and 280,
64
00:07:54.570 --> 00:07:59.229
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): was in the first prioritization,
then I… I think it was removed.
65
00:07:59.235 --> 00:08:12.954
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, so that was an oversight, so
that's a project that was incorporated, but has been addressed, right?
Like, that project has been built, so that project should never have been
included as a recommendation. Or it is going to be. Yeah.
66
00:08:13.760 --> 00:08:22.000
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, then, these technology
transportation corridors, are they meant to supplement
67
00:08:22.280 --> 00:08:30.369
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): traditional bike, pedestrian
infrastructure? Is that the intent? Are they… is the intent for it to
replace bike ped infrastructure?
68
00:08:30.655 --> 00:08:32.645
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's just another project type.
69
00:08:32.784 --> 00:08:46.375
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Council provided direction that
technology be prioritized. So, these technology corridors, you can think
of them as stand-alone projects that are ranked equally in the plan,
alongside bike and pet projects.
70
00:08:48.375 --> 00:08:49.305
Quinlan Conference Room: Damns.
71
00:08:59.860 --> 00:09:00.760
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): As.
72
00:09:01.350 --> 00:09:03.619
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Miss, I think this will be a
clarifying question, is…
73
00:09:03.920 --> 00:09:16.129
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): when we… when you score, are we
looking at the VTA Measure B funding requirements? Are those taken into
consideration, as far as… because do they have requirements
74
00:09:16.260 --> 00:09:22.409
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): you know, we see the county VGAF
requirements for their… if they're going to fund a project with Virginia.
75
00:09:22.530 --> 00:09:27.089
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Are we looking at, certain
requirements, and what are those requirements?
76
00:09:27.095 --> 00:09:45.444
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, the consultant looked at
those, one of those being proximity to transit as part of, like, the
scoring. So ALTA stated that, based on their review of what the Measure B
requirements would be, that the projects that are undergoing this type of
scoring, would be eligible.
77
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:51.429
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh, and then…
78
00:09:51.540 --> 00:09:57.199
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Was the Banley and Stevens Creek
intersection included this last round, and it wasn't in the first round
on the project.
79
00:09:57.205 --> 00:10:00.444
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Correct. That was added based on the
comments that we heard.
80
00:10:01.445 --> 00:10:05.634
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): But that is… with Tory and Town
Center. Yeah.
81
00:10:09.970 --> 00:10:15.370
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And YAN's and I-280 are in the
project list twice. What's the reason for that?
82
00:10:15.665 --> 00:10:21.095
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Northbound, or… Westbound on-ramp
and eastbound on-ramp.
83
00:10:22.175 --> 00:10:23.424
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, thank you.
84
00:10:24.765 --> 00:10:25.595
Quinlan Conference Room: Great.
85
00:10:25.595 --> 00:10:28.444
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Anything else? Of course, back-end
question, Len?
86
00:10:28.450 --> 00:10:30.949
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): We look at the, parking.
87
00:10:30.950 --> 00:10:38.290
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): removal… Criteria, does it apply to
the entire project, regardless of the length of the project?
88
00:10:38.850 --> 00:10:39.520
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Correct.
89
00:10:44.340 --> 00:10:45.410
Quinlan Conference Room: Alright.
90
00:10:47.570 --> 00:10:54.639
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Final opportunities, final paragraph
questions or comments? If not, I'm asking if there's any public speakers
on this topic.
91
00:10:55.200 --> 00:11:01.480
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yes, we have one speaker in person
and one speaker remote. Our first speaker is.
92
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:04.069
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Evan's the juice one. Excellent.
Evan?
93
00:11:04.075 --> 00:11:05.455
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Go ahead, please fill in it.
94
00:11:05.775 --> 00:11:12.075
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Hi, I'm Adam. So I went online and I
downloaded the, draft prioritization.
95
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:13.620
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): results, and I…
96
00:11:13.740 --> 00:11:26.770
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): something seemed odd about the
criteria for scoring to me. So, actually, just during this conversation,
I noticed that the safety for number 22 for technology is scored above
30, which it looked like in the
97
00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:38.760
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): On the website, 30 was the maximum,
so not sure what's going on with us. But the other thing I noticed is I
went to the Vision Zero dashboard on the website, and selected pedestrian
Pickality.
98
00:11:39.390 --> 00:11:42.119
Quinlan Conference Room: And what I saw there, that…
99
00:11:42.550 --> 00:11:49.179
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): The intersections, or the places
where there were fatalities, were ranked pretty low on the draft
proposal.
100
00:11:49.490 --> 00:12:02.369
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, for example, Foothills and
Rancho Ventura had a fatality. I couldn't find that on here. I found it
in a section that was close, and it's ranked 116, so that's pretty low on
the list.
101
00:12:02.810 --> 00:12:09.240
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): There's also… Bollinger and Miller
Avenue that had some paid holidays.
102
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:12.810
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Or at least one, and that's ranked
173.
103
00:12:13.070 --> 00:12:15.450
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): I… been…
104
00:12:15.670 --> 00:12:21.829
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): So both of those are pretty low, and
there were… there are 5 fatalities listed on the Vision Zero dashboard.
105
00:12:22.100 --> 00:12:27.240
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): for best friends. So I didn't check
all of them, but it looked like…
106
00:12:27.710 --> 00:12:34.210
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Places where people have been
killed, were ranked pretty low, even though that's self-selected as
107
00:12:34.450 --> 00:12:36.950
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Critical places to maybe improve.
108
00:12:37.060 --> 00:12:41.120
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): Since. People have been in
accidents, people have died.
109
00:12:41.310 --> 00:12:45.929
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, that's my… comment? I just…
110
00:12:46.140 --> 00:12:51.620
Speaker 8 (Quinlan Conference Room): It looked like maybe there's
something that's not quite right with the scoring criteria that should be
looked into.
111
00:12:52.190 --> 00:12:53.929
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you for forgiveness.
112
00:12:54.330 --> 00:12:57.160
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, our next speaker is Peggy
Burman.
113
00:12:59.030 --> 00:13:00.149
Quinlan Conference Room: Welcome, Peggy.
114
00:13:00.610 --> 00:13:04.790
Peggy Griffin: Good evening, bike ped…
115
00:13:04.930 --> 00:13:11.060
Peggy Griffin: Commission, and staff, I… I agree with the previous
speaker. The…
116
00:13:11.300 --> 00:13:16.650
Peggy Griffin: matrix, the scoring matrix, I think needs to be
reassessed, and…
117
00:13:16.820 --> 00:13:27.180
Peggy Griffin: Before you go any further, the increase… it needs to have
an increased emphasis on areas where injuries and deaths and collisions
occurred.
118
00:13:27.290 --> 00:13:37.429
Peggy Griffin: It seems to be… Higher priority for Safe Routes to school,
anything along that gets max points, and
119
00:13:37.550 --> 00:13:43.650
Peggy Griffin: It doesn't matter whether it's one section or the entire
section, it gets the points.
120
00:13:43.810 --> 00:13:49.310
Peggy Griffin: And safe routes to school means that's the safest route to
school.
121
00:13:49.500 --> 00:13:57.600
Peggy Griffin: So, it… it seems contradictory. I think we should focus on
where people actually have had
122
00:13:57.900 --> 00:14:06.309
Peggy Griffin: deaths and injuries and collisions. Also, I think it needs
to emphasize technology more.
123
00:14:06.700 --> 00:14:11.100
Peggy Griffin: Because we can't afford to pay for more deputies.
124
00:14:11.210 --> 00:14:19.739
Peggy Griffin: And there are a lot of technology tools that we could use
as a city that would save us money and reduce
125
00:14:20.190 --> 00:14:26.810
Peggy Griffin: fatalities at critical intersections. And I'm referring to
red light.
126
00:14:27.460 --> 00:14:33.769
Peggy Griffin: The, the number one intersection is De Anza Boulevard and
Homestead.
127
00:14:33.970 --> 00:14:43.940
Peggy Griffin: And, it's… In the matrix, it's ranked number 66, but it's
the number one
128
00:14:44.140 --> 00:14:49.430
Peggy Griffin: intersection with problems in the Vision Zero plan.
129
00:14:49.680 --> 00:14:52.850
Peggy Griffin: So, also.
130
00:14:53.080 --> 00:15:03.769
Peggy Griffin: Let's see. The loss of parking. There's no mention, and
the public was not told that if they pick these, or say they like a plan,
that
131
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:07.750
Peggy Griffin: It potentially could take all the parking on a street.
132
00:15:08.250 --> 00:15:09.250
Quinlan Conference Room: And…
133
00:15:09.370 --> 00:15:15.110
Peggy Griffin: The report says that There could be a 30… that this…
134
00:15:15.260 --> 00:15:21.390
Peggy Griffin: the council would be able to decide after 30% design.
Well, in the past.
135
00:15:21.610 --> 00:15:28.300
Peggy Griffin: After a design has already started, there's no going back.
It's basically a done deal.
136
00:15:28.820 --> 00:15:34.120
Peggy Griffin: And there are a lot of these identified projects that
137
00:15:35.030 --> 00:15:40.130
Peggy Griffin: Anybody, a 2-year-old, could figure out that the whole
street would lose its parking.
138
00:15:40.620 --> 00:15:43.840
Peggy Griffin: So, and I also think that,
139
00:15:44.510 --> 00:15:51.269
Peggy Griffin: separated bike lanes. You need to really restrict them to,
140
00:15:51.790 --> 00:16:01.340
Peggy Griffin: not impact the two-lane streets as much, the big, multi-
lane, fast-going areas, it makes sense. Thank you.
141
00:16:04.010 --> 00:16:05.050
Quinlan Conference Room: Thank you, Peggy.
142
00:16:06.140 --> 00:16:07.290
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): anymore.
143
00:16:07.910 --> 00:16:11.119
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Public speakers? Yeah, no remaining
public speakers.
144
00:16:11.125 --> 00:16:12.545
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you.
145
00:16:13.075 --> 00:16:19.684
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'm opening up the… this topic for
Commission discussion amongst, Commission.
146
00:16:20.125 --> 00:16:21.125
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, yeah.
147
00:16:21.245 --> 00:16:26.225
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I wanted to… Maybe start saying, I
think it…
148
00:16:26.975 --> 00:16:30.054
Quinlan Conference Room: It is important that we look at this plan as a…
149
00:16:30.105 --> 00:16:33.445
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): As a guidepost for… for council?
150
00:16:34.025 --> 00:16:35.354
Quinlan Conference Room: And I think we should…
151
00:16:36.485 --> 00:16:39.225
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Primarily focused on talking about
152
00:16:39.835 --> 00:16:45.514
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): the bigger topics that we need to
fix and adjust on the plan. I think it would be…
153
00:16:45.955 --> 00:16:54.274
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): probably going to be spending hours
and hours here if we go into individual projects and drill down to
individual scoring? Why is this worth that way? I think that probably
didn't
154
00:16:54.395 --> 00:16:56.065
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Perfect. Effective.
155
00:16:56.195 --> 00:17:08.144
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): But I think we should be very well,
like, some of the feedback we just heard, some of the feedback on the
written communications, really tells us that there's some areas that we
need to tweak, that we need to adjust, scoring being one of them.
156
00:17:08.145 --> 00:17:16.604
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So I just wanted to put this out
front for everybody. Hopefully everybody is in awe, and then opening up
for the session.
157
00:17:20.365 --> 00:17:23.375
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): kind of going this order this time.
I'll stop.
158
00:17:23.380 --> 00:17:30.329
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, I got a bunch of feedback
regarding various areas, so I'm going to start with the technology-based.
159
00:17:30.335 --> 00:17:39.324
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): based counts, in the memorandum,
there is a comment about making sure that, you know, we incorporate
technology
160
00:17:39.395 --> 00:17:57.845
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): into the project to make sure that,
you know, to increase the usage of biking and walking in Cupertino, as
opposed to prior to the construction being made, which makes sense. What
I wanted to make sure we incorporate is to make sure that we just don't
do that based on a single project.
161
00:17:57.925 --> 00:17:59.015
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Because…
162
00:17:59.885 --> 00:18:10.404
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): If we have, like, for example, two
islands, and a sea in the middle, you put one pillar on the one side, and
another pillar on the other side, and no table for the bridge.
163
00:18:10.685 --> 00:18:16.275
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): you don't have a network, right? You
have two construction sites, and nobody can go from one island to the
other. It's not a network.
164
00:18:16.365 --> 00:18:33.655
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And so the problem that I can see
here is that if we take a project-based approach to measuring the
utilization, is that we will run into issues, and just focusing on the
narrow things, if you look at the projects that are successful, like
McLennan, for example, wrote.
165
00:18:33.765 --> 00:18:39.814
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): They're successful because it's a
network. It goes from the Enza College to the Enza Boulevard, and to…
166
00:18:40.035 --> 00:18:57.315
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): The Ragnarok Creek Trail goes from
the Creekside Park to Wilson Park to the library in City Hall, right? So
it's a nice network because it connects things, and I think that if we
start measuring the impact of a project without taking into account the
167
00:18:57.665 --> 00:19:00.485
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Broader aspects of the network.
168
00:19:00.575 --> 00:19:02.445
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think we… that's…
169
00:19:02.525 --> 00:19:14.465
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Like, if we start, for example, if
it's the first project of completing a network, he'll be like, oh, but
this project is not successful, but the other pieces of the network have
to come together so that we actually see some improvements.
170
00:19:14.465 --> 00:19:27.714
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): So I just wanted to make sure that
when we measure the success through technology of a project, and I want
to do that, I want to see how successful we are with our projects, that
we don't have a too narrow an approach to measuring
171
00:19:28.385 --> 00:19:32.485
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): kind of the KPIs that we set up, set
ourselves.
172
00:19:32.725 --> 00:19:40.954
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): So that, that's long. The other
thing I wanted to comment on the parking and the,
173
00:19:41.065 --> 00:19:42.855
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Lane removals.
174
00:19:44.825 --> 00:19:46.655
Quinlan Conference Room: As I mentioned in the question.
175
00:19:46.995 --> 00:19:54.384
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): the criteria regarding removal of
parking does not take into account the length of the project, so if it…
176
00:19:54.635 --> 00:19:59.215
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): project has an impact on two miles,
for example, and it removes
177
00:19:59.395 --> 00:20:06.134
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): two fucking spaces over these two
miles, then that's gonna be a zero, right? But if we have a very small
project.
178
00:20:06.295 --> 00:20:08.005
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Other impacts our weakness.
179
00:20:08.115 --> 00:20:14.875
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): crossing, or very little of the
street, then you would have the full joints, because you don't need
parking. So I…
180
00:20:15.275 --> 00:20:16.575
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's kind of…
181
00:20:17.175 --> 00:20:18.065
Quinlan Conference Room: I see.
182
00:20:18.095 --> 00:20:25.095
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And natural to feel, okay, if we
have this huge project that can be transformative, or long distance.
183
00:20:25.275 --> 00:20:43.485
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): and we remove just two parking
slots, it removes the entire scoping criteria. So maybe one thing to do
is to adjust that by having the number of parking slots removed divided
by the length of the project, something to think about. What also is very
troubling is the nature of parking
184
00:20:43.615 --> 00:20:59.474
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): at a certain project. I took, for
example, Mariani Avenue to Bentley Drive, which is, by the way, is marked
as a bike lane. Did not mention whether it was protected bike lane
anymore, or just a buffer bike lane, just a bike lane. So, but…
185
00:20:59.475 --> 00:21:12.165
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Here's the funny thing, when you
look around, it's not residential folds, it's just Apple. And it's
surrounded, literally surrounded by Apple parking. And if we tell Apple,
look guys, we're gonna remove parking, they'll be like.
186
00:21:13.585 --> 00:21:23.004
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): sure, most likely, go ahead, we
don't care. If it's in a residential area where people leave, I think
that's when the… when people would be like, well, I'd rather have my
parking.
187
00:21:23.205 --> 00:21:25.824
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Which is my fucking…
188
00:21:26.215 --> 00:21:37.594
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): the city's parking. But, my point is
that the nature of the surrounding buildings also makes a big, big
difference between, you know, the position you might see in a project,
right? So…
189
00:21:37.705 --> 00:21:42.294
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, and then some of the…
190
00:21:42.945 --> 00:21:47.585
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): things were a little bit surprising
for me when I looked at some of the projects. One of them is,
191
00:21:47.925 --> 00:21:50.864
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): a homestead to Big Man, where I
didn't understand
192
00:21:51.955 --> 00:22:11.355
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): why there was no parking at all, and
yet it didn't get the full points already. So some of the things I did
not understand. I just don't want to go into every individual project, as
the chair mentioned. So yeah, something to think about is that the nature
of the project, how long is the actual project impacting? Like, how much
impact has it
193
00:22:11.355 --> 00:22:25.574
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And also, you know, just in terms of
length, but also who is in the surroundings. And in my opinion, I think
it's something that we can do, and we should do on a project-by-project
base. If you do this on an aggregated level for all the projects, it's
very hard to put that
194
00:22:25.595 --> 00:22:27.294
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Into this kind of thing.
195
00:22:27.335 --> 00:22:30.385
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): The previous speaker mentioned, oh,
we should not
196
00:22:30.545 --> 00:22:35.794
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): You know, we should add a more,
like, emphasis on the parking, but the problem is that
197
00:22:35.805 --> 00:22:52.695
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And she mentioned after 30% of the
design were done, and that is not true, because for the Lawson Middle
School project, there were two options that were offered to the Bike Fed
Commission and to Council. One of them was to remove parking, and the
other one was to keep parking. And these options were to
198
00:22:52.995 --> 00:22:56.554
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): put together, put in front of the
Commission and of
199
00:22:56.765 --> 00:23:05.334
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): of the Council, and it was not a
decision of, oh, 30%, that's a darn deal. No, it was not, and this
project proves it.
200
00:23:05.475 --> 00:23:07.555
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): So…
201
00:23:07.635 --> 00:23:14.065
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): maybe one thing to do is, I would
also very much agree, however, with the previous speaker on the phone, as
well as
202
00:23:14.085 --> 00:23:32.985
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): with the person present here, to say
that we have a big discrepancy between the high engineering network and
the prioritization of the, of the projects. And that's very troubling,
because the Vision Zero plan is literally… the ATP was supposed to be
the, kind of, the, how we implement things.
203
00:23:33.145 --> 00:23:45.395
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): in order to make this Vision Zero a
reality, and it's completely disconnected right now. So it's very
troubling, and I think we need to work on that. So maybe one idea that I
would like to share
204
00:23:45.705 --> 00:24:02.194
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): is, maybe sharing the points between
the separate-to-school points, and sharing them with the high enduring
network, meaning that if you are on the high engineering network, defined
as in the Vision Zero plan, you would get more points, and if not, you
would be…
205
00:24:02.335 --> 00:24:20.175
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): you wouldn't get them. Or even, as I
said, parking is not a relevant criteria, so it's a criteria that's
relevant on a project-by-project base, and we could move this criteria
and put it on the high engineer, and instead have the high engineering
network criteria being set here.
206
00:24:22.410 --> 00:24:25.080
Quinlan Conference Room: Or nothing.
207
00:24:27.360 --> 00:24:30.599
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): In terms of the neighborhood, bike
graphs.
208
00:24:30.990 --> 00:24:35.939
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): So I took the freedom, because you
mentioned on the document.
209
00:24:35.940 --> 00:24:52.710
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): that the design information, like,
the… what guides your thinking as to which projects to implement or not
is the information built in 94, design information built in 94, competes
for its contextual design. And you say it's adaptable, but that's
essentially what you're taking, or…
210
00:24:52.710 --> 00:24:59.100
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): prompt. So, I looked at the CAS 3
neighborhood backlogs, the definition, and when they are good fits.
211
00:24:59.110 --> 00:25:13.709
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): And the… what this document says, it
says, for rural main streets, suburban area, and urban area place types,
which I think is valid for Cupertino, the main purpose of shared lane
flat 3 bike routes is to bridge a short gap
212
00:25:13.710 --> 00:25:21.709
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): between Class 1, Class 2, or Class 4
bikeways for the sake of network connectivity. Again, this idea of
network is important, which I appreciate.
213
00:25:22.460 --> 00:25:30.300
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): The problem that I have is that the
vast majority of the projects that were submitted are not connected to
any of those.
214
00:25:30.730 --> 00:25:40.689
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay? So if I look at, for example,
the Kenfu to Charlie Man project, it stops in the middle of nowhere. It's
like a bike route, and then, poof, the street continues, but…
215
00:25:40.840 --> 00:25:53.870
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): you know, there is nothing… it
doesn't connect anything to anything, it's just one street, and then to
Jollyman Park. But it doesn't say… it doesn't connect plus 1, plus 2, or
plus 4 bikeways, as opposed to what the document says it should.
216
00:25:55.690 --> 00:26:15.100
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): The thing also with the community
engagement, I think, was great. I had a lot of outreach and stuff, but,
on the ATP project website, there's, like, these backgrounds have, like,
one or two lights, and I don't think I've ever seen in… and I've attended
quite a few of the things that you organize, and I don't think I've ever
heard
217
00:26:16.840 --> 00:26:21.170
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): You know, participants saying that
they absolutely wanted a…
218
00:26:21.340 --> 00:26:26.610
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): A bike… a route, neighborhood, bike
route as a project.
219
00:26:26.990 --> 00:26:27.910
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): So…
220
00:26:28.810 --> 00:26:31.160
Quinlan Conference Room: Again, if you look at the projects here.
221
00:26:31.160 --> 00:26:37.060
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's the purple, and there is a lot
of purple, and if you look at the connectivity, it doesn't always affect
222
00:26:37.330 --> 00:26:38.250
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): 2…
223
00:26:38.390 --> 00:26:50.439
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): This, so… my point here is that we
have 22, 22 of the 38, if I'm correct, 22 of the 38 cycling projects are
actually these neighborhood… neighborhood routes.
224
00:26:50.650 --> 00:27:01.139
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): we're not really solving a problem
as per the definition of what the, you know, Class 3 backpropout should
be, and if the community is not really screaming for it, then…
225
00:27:01.290 --> 00:27:02.810
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): My question would be.
226
00:27:03.450 --> 00:27:04.970
Quinlan Conference Room: What is it for, then?
227
00:27:04.970 --> 00:27:08.050
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Because… If we have, like.
228
00:27:08.610 --> 00:27:13.089
Quinlan Conference Room: I'm trying to put myself in… The shoes of the
city.
229
00:27:13.100 --> 00:27:18.770
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): We have things that are, like,
again, not fixing a problem, Nuts.
230
00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:35.510
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): something that the community asked
for, and it's going to be expensive, right? We're going to have the
permitting associated with this project, where the bidding process, we
have the contracts, it costs also staff time. My opinion would be to
reduce the number of projects
231
00:27:35.510 --> 00:27:47.519
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): So that we have a little bit more
clarity. We don't need to have 200 projects. Maybe these neighborhood
routes should be reduced so that we focus on the things that matter,
which are actually, like, proving the safety
232
00:27:47.530 --> 00:27:50.999
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Of the pedestrians and, and cyclists
in the sea.
233
00:27:51.190 --> 00:27:56.340
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's one thing to think about. We
really want to move
234
00:27:56.820 --> 00:28:04.419
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): people onto bikes by making them
avoid big oteries and use neighborhood routes. I'd rather
235
00:28:04.600 --> 00:28:17.369
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Do you guys go to Apple and ask them
to put some weight… waiting criteria in the way they route people when
they say, I'm on a bike, then ask Apple to reroute them for the
neighborhood.
236
00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:23.300
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): routes, maybe? But that would be
much more effective than having just science around.
237
00:28:24.130 --> 00:28:29.900
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yes. So, just, to,
238
00:28:30.270 --> 00:28:48.179
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): make it brief, the thing that I
suggest are, either to remove the complete, the parking, or having at
least shared cell-to-school, points with the high injury network, and
that would be very important, and simply, also cut the number of projects
for the one that we…
239
00:28:48.860 --> 00:28:49.920
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Great, thank you.
240
00:28:50.340 --> 00:28:51.250
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Local.
241
00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:53.400
Quinlan Conference Room: Yeah, so.
242
00:28:54.580 --> 00:28:59.189
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, I would like to provide some
feedback. I think this is along the lines of what
243
00:28:59.380 --> 00:29:03.449
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): I gave it back in the last meeting
as well. One is…
244
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:14.309
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): you will never be able to get it
right. Like, you have 200 projects. If you move a criteria one way or the
other, some other projects will pop up, and you are just going to do your
vacuum move, right? It's not…
245
00:29:14.570 --> 00:29:24.309
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): going to help solve the problem.
There's a good guideline for what projects should be, you know, how the
projects should be prioritized and whatnot, but as,
246
00:29:24.920 --> 00:29:31.640
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): ATP, I think cities should have a
vision and prioritize programs or corridors.
247
00:29:32.080 --> 00:29:38.140
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Or neighborhoods where you wanted to
take up the safety, because it's like a 10-year… Plan, and then maybe…
248
00:29:38.670 --> 00:29:41.040
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Plus, 5 years would be more
important.
249
00:29:41.560 --> 00:29:50.230
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So where you pick up zones, like,
you know, in the city, you can pick up saying that the priority safety
corridor, right, which is identified in Division Zero.
250
00:29:50.540 --> 00:30:04.700
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): take that, and then say that, like,
out of that, we are going to focus on the city center area, which covers
the major artery, like Steven Street, Boulevard, and… and Dianza, and
then the neighborhood city center, which has the commercial
251
00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:17.809
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): access, it's a good economic zone.
So, pick that zone, and then say, this is the area where we are going to
improve the pedestrian safety, we are going to improve the intersection
safety, and we are going to improve bicycle safety, and that
252
00:30:18.100 --> 00:30:21.910
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): That would be the focus, and the
city council part of it.
253
00:30:22.030 --> 00:30:24.100
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Elected officials weigh in on that.
254
00:30:24.550 --> 00:30:34.469
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Similarly, you can pick up a
different one, like a school zone, right? That could be another zone, and
then we can pick up an area which is, like, a tri-school area, or, like,
the Cupertino High School.
255
00:30:34.700 --> 00:30:36.360
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): The area.
256
00:30:37.220 --> 00:30:39.479
Quinlan Conference Room: Right, so that's another way of…
257
00:30:39.480 --> 00:30:44.790
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Picking up, and then making sure
that projects around that, access to those pools.
258
00:30:45.840 --> 00:30:47.190
Quinlan Conference Room: Fix the issues.
259
00:30:47.410 --> 00:30:53.740
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then, you know, at the same
time, you're addressing Vision Zero, so I kind of identifies a similar
model, but then…
260
00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:55.140
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Be clearly…
261
00:30:55.380 --> 00:31:11.679
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): align with Vision Zero, but at the
same time, provide what focus area? City can never be able to go and
deploy their resources on every… every one of these projects. So, pick
these zones, and then start to work on these zones, and opportunistically
pick up projects from these lists
262
00:31:11.730 --> 00:31:16.289
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): what to implement when you are able
to address the safety. That's one thing.
263
00:31:16.410 --> 00:31:21.310
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): And also, when the zones are picked
up and the budget is limited, then we'll have
264
00:31:21.570 --> 00:31:27.880
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): opportunities to do pig belt
programs to improve the Safety on these zones much…
265
00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:32.690
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Quicker than waiting for 5 years
before you can get these projects.
266
00:31:32.820 --> 00:31:33.730
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Girl.
267
00:31:34.070 --> 00:31:35.950
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): to make any sense, right? So that's…
268
00:31:36.030 --> 00:31:43.059
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): that's another thing that we should…
we should look at. This is… this is… this is my… I think this is the
feedback I gave last time. Some of the cities have done this.
269
00:31:43.120 --> 00:31:57.899
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): They prioritize corridors, or they
prioritize zones, they prioritize programs, so that's… that's a clear
idea. I mean, you pick up, like, 3 or 5 areas where the city will be
focusing projects for the next 5 years, next 10 years, like this.
270
00:31:58.420 --> 00:32:00.880
Quinlan Conference Room: So beyond 5 years, you could call that as a
long-term.
271
00:32:01.550 --> 00:32:05.760
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Focus on the other, other areas,
like 5 years, you can say 5-year focus.
272
00:32:05.930 --> 00:32:12.249
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): That gives a clear idea on what
projects to pick up for the City Council in future.
273
00:32:12.910 --> 00:32:16.570
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's one thing. The second one is
on the guidelines.
274
00:32:16.730 --> 00:32:23.300
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think, you have, I think Dev,
someone has provided the guidelines on, you know, where you have to use
the class.
275
00:32:23.840 --> 00:32:25.930
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): 2, Class 3, Class 4.
276
00:32:26.080 --> 00:32:30.070
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Pike lanes, but then what we do is,
like, we pick up projects and then go on
277
00:32:30.470 --> 00:32:48.059
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): try to fit projects, like, for
example, you say that you go into a residential neighborhood and say you
want to do a Class 4 biplane, right? Which is the one with concrete
barriers. I think we already know, we have heard feedback from the
community on what happened when you tried to do it in an area which is
not suitable for that.
278
00:32:48.120 --> 00:32:51.589
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): And ASTHO and some of these national
279
00:32:51.650 --> 00:33:07.690
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): safety guidelines clearly say which…
where we wanted to apply, different projects, and in some cases, cities
pick up those guidelines and then customize it for what's applicable for
our city, what makes sense for us. It's a smaller city.
280
00:33:07.790 --> 00:33:15.710
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): We have, you know, pass-through
traffic going through RCT and things like that. So, accordingly, you
wanted to
281
00:33:16.150 --> 00:33:32.589
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): City should give a guideline as part
of the transportation plan. It could be an appendix, or it could be in
one of these chapters, that clearly identifies, this is the guideline for
our city, and this is how we're going to follow. So that way, you're not
going to try to force-fit certain projects that are not suitable for
certain areas.
282
00:33:33.290 --> 00:33:38.910
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Like, they, they, you know, example,
like, for Class 4, or even Class 2, Class 3, there's, like.
283
00:33:39.500 --> 00:33:41.550
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Clear guidelines provided.
284
00:33:41.660 --> 00:33:43.100
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): With metrics.
285
00:33:43.520 --> 00:33:49.099
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): And I think we should be following…
following that in order to… in order to go… go… go with these projects.
286
00:33:50.250 --> 00:33:58.480
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): The third one I said is the Vision
Zero alignment. I think that should be a separate, you know, chapter in
order to show how you are aligning with Vision Zero, because
287
00:33:58.980 --> 00:34:09.070
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): We wanted to really implement what
has been identified in Vision Zero, and these are the high injury
corridors, and there are also programs and, you know, toolkits that have
been provided, and so we should…
288
00:34:09.840 --> 00:34:20.589
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): you know, it's not about
prioritizing power. We spend a lot of time on prioritizing scoring and
things like that, but instead, you need to see how you're aligning with
Vision Zero, and how ATP is helping
289
00:34:21.110 --> 00:34:27.349
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): you know, getting to the Vision Zero
in the next 10 years. So that's basically what we should be doing, and
290
00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:34.009
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think there's enough information
there in the toolkit that the staff knows about it, so we should really
have a chapter that aligns
291
00:34:34.350 --> 00:34:38.280
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): ATP with what's shown in the
efficiency.
292
00:34:38.560 --> 00:34:40.120
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think these are the three…
293
00:34:41.920 --> 00:34:43.980
Quinlan Conference Room: key items that I wanted to point out.
294
00:34:43.980 --> 00:34:46.280
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): For us. Thank you, London. Thank
you.
295
00:34:47.429 --> 00:34:48.059
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Sweet.
296
00:34:48.809 --> 00:34:51.759
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): This is my trunk. Traffic's coming
this way, so…
297
00:34:51.764 --> 00:34:56.424
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh, that's okay. Yeah, yeah. Thank
you, Chair.
298
00:34:56.600 --> 00:34:59.510
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, I have a couple of comments.
So, one…
299
00:34:59.900 --> 00:35:13.319
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): the scoring mechanism, right? So,
did we use some standard rubric in terms of, you know, what's used
everywhere, or did we come up with something that's, you know, suited for
Cupertino?
300
00:35:13.325 --> 00:35:19.185
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): something that's suited for
Cupertino by adding the balance criteria in there that's consistent with
the goals.
301
00:35:19.505 --> 00:35:31.395
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): I believe Mountains View had
something fairly similar, but the rest of the scoring criteria pretty
much resembles what the 2016, criteria were.
302
00:35:32.130 --> 00:35:45.379
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): So I'm just trying to see, you
know, how two speakers spoke about, you know, the fatalities, junctions
were, you know, ranked low, so… so what was the scoring mechanism used
that will help the case, right?
303
00:35:45.490 --> 00:35:55.269
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): or a thought, you know, those
things, you know, would have bubbled up, right? So… so that's, you know,
general observation, right? So second, no matter what criteria we use,
you know.
304
00:35:55.720 --> 00:36:07.440
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): somebody's not going to like, you
know, what came out of the outcome of that, right? So… so, because
projects fall where they fall because of the scoring criteria that we
use. So…
305
00:36:07.710 --> 00:36:15.760
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): On… in terms of, you know, picking
and choosing, I think, you know, I've been consistent with my comments,
you know, even in the past.
306
00:36:15.900 --> 00:36:22.970
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): I believe, you know, there are a
lot of, you know, small, small improvements we can make that gets, you
know, the best bang for the buck, right?
307
00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:37.050
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): And I'll take, you know, McLaren
Road, because, you know, I live on the street that every day, because I
live on that street, right? So, you know, Commissioner Marcy said, you
know, it's a highly successful project. I… I kind of, you know, don't
necessarily agree with that, because, you know.
308
00:36:37.270 --> 00:36:42.410
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): I see all the problems every day,
because I live there, right? So… and…
309
00:36:43.390 --> 00:36:45.600
Quinlan Conference Room: People that live on that street complain.
310
00:36:45.600 --> 00:37:04.460
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right? And people that use that
street complaint, they don't live there, but, you know, they use it,
right? So… and I see even, you know, last weekend when I was biking, you
know, I see two bikers, you know, in front of me, one of them in the bike
lane and one of them in the car lane. They're riding in paddle, right?
And it just, you know, it just creates a type of mess, right? So… so I
wouldn't necessarily
311
00:37:04.560 --> 00:37:23.799
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): call that a successful project, but
there are a lot of small, small improvements that's done, you know,
that's paying off big. We ask people that live on that street, they
really, you know, thank you, David, for particularly, you know, for
taking steps, you know, to do those smaller improvements, okay? So, thank
you for that, right? So, I believe, you know, there are a lot of things
that we can do
312
00:37:24.130 --> 00:37:43.469
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): with, you know, limited budget to
improve the safety in the city without, you know, embarking on, you know,
massive, you know, let's create a concrete barrier type of a project.
That's just, you know, my high-level observation and feedback, right? So,
I think, you know, concrete barriers have a place, but I don't think, you
know, it's…
313
00:37:43.470 --> 00:37:55.450
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Where, you know, streets are
narrow, and, you know, and we create a more problem, you know, by
dividing it further. And so I live on that table. So that's… that's that.
314
00:37:56.190 --> 00:38:00.420
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think, you know, the Tony Avenue
project, I think, you know, that deserves, because, you know.
315
00:38:00.450 --> 00:38:12.570
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Kubernet library is, you know, one
of the highest used libraries, right? And there's a lot of people that
come and go, and we need to improve the safety there, especially, you
know, kids, right? So when it comes to kids, you know, we thought of, you
know.
316
00:38:12.570 --> 00:38:21.369
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): to work out, because it's, it skits
availability. So… so I'm happy to see, you know, that… that project, you
know, on the list.
317
00:38:21.720 --> 00:38:26.240
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, so I think that's… Thank you,
Mary, thank you.
318
00:38:26.520 --> 00:38:28.450
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Cool. Thank you, Tom.
319
00:38:28.780 --> 00:38:34.730
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, I, I started… well…
320
00:38:35.460 --> 00:38:46.090
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): The action item says to review and
provide feedback on prioritized project lists for the active
transportation plan, so that's what I focused on.
321
00:38:46.220 --> 00:38:55.590
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, though I'm not gonna drill down
to… but I… I want to… I did look at the specific scoring and how that,
322
00:38:56.110 --> 00:39:00.740
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I ask myself, does this make sense?
And the… what I did is I…
323
00:39:00.990 --> 00:39:08.070
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I just copied it over, pasted
everything into an Excel spreadsheet, started sorting it via various
categories, and…
324
00:39:08.240 --> 00:39:16.950
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then I decide, well, I'm going
to focus on, you know, intersections, the pedestrian safety, because
that's something that I think is important. I think this…
325
00:39:17.530 --> 00:39:28.200
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): this commission has expressed, you
know, sort of a… uniformly that they're interested in increasing
pedestrian safety, so that's where I went to… I went…
326
00:39:28.350 --> 00:39:40.949
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I sorted everything, and I looked…
compared it to what was in Vision Zero. So, Vision Zero's got, two tables
for the high injury, corridors, which, like, I don't know, 15, and then
there's
327
00:39:41.050 --> 00:39:44.340
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): the high end of the intersection, so
I focused on the high end.
328
00:39:45.670 --> 00:39:51.749
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And… what I came up with was, it was
a little sh…
329
00:39:52.990 --> 00:39:54.640
Quinlan Conference Room: Little shocked.
330
00:39:54.640 --> 00:39:58.940
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Because I don't… I think I'd have to
come out and say something's wrong with the scoring.
331
00:39:59.420 --> 00:40:04.309
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Because the way we're storing these
projects, our scoring criteria results in
332
00:40:04.600 --> 00:40:11.710
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): very strange outcome in the tables,
and and I'll just go down the list, So… the…
333
00:40:11.900 --> 00:40:24.600
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): The intersection that's near and
dear to my… to me is Stevens Creek and De Anza. I've walked in many
times, crossed it many times. It's pretty dangerous, but it's… it's ATP
rank of 56.
334
00:40:25.100 --> 00:40:38.399
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, there are… and then there's a
little intersection behind my house on a neighborhood network, Terry and
Rodriguez, that is about… scores actually better than that, and there's
no traffic, it's nothing.
335
00:40:38.580 --> 00:40:49.370
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And that whole neighborhood network
is nothing. I ride it all the time. It doesn't even… it's ranked number
8, by the way. It's some little neighborhood ranked. So I think, this is…
there's something wrong here.
336
00:40:49.550 --> 00:40:52.819
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And you go down the list, you've got
DeAnz and Homestead.
337
00:40:53.380 --> 00:41:05.809
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Number one, on the, high-end
network, intersection network, 65. So some of them work out. Cuppuccino
Road and Stevens Creek Boulevard, high… the rank for the,
338
00:41:06.140 --> 00:41:11.220
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): In Vision Zero, it's 3, and it's 12,
and for ATP.
339
00:41:11.430 --> 00:41:12.820
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): But…
340
00:41:13.060 --> 00:41:27.179
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): There's many that just don't make
any sense whatsoever, and then you look at what's not included that's in
the original Vision Zero plan. A lot of the top 20 intersections, 9 of
them are not included at all, not even in the program.
341
00:41:27.390 --> 00:41:33.670
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And out of the top, I went… there's
48, but I think I got 22 that were not even in the program.
342
00:41:33.810 --> 00:41:41.190
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): So you start looking at this and
thinking, there is something drastically wrong here. It just makes no
sense. And
343
00:41:41.530 --> 00:41:50.269
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I… I could never go along with this
type of discovery. I… I had some ideas, I started looking at the scoring.
344
00:41:50.560 --> 00:42:01.639
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): So I went in and tried to figure out
why are the scores so bad for some of these very important intersections.
They're really, truly dangerous, you know?
345
00:42:02.080 --> 00:42:10.490
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, we… the thing that I came up
with… is that I think the…
346
00:42:11.820 --> 00:42:12.225
Quinlan Conference Room: Sh…
347
00:42:12.990 --> 00:42:15.090
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Could find my talking.
348
00:42:20.510 --> 00:42:22.820
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think the scoring for the…
349
00:42:25.770 --> 00:42:42.379
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): it doesn't place enough weight on
the safety of intersections, and you may be able to say the same thing
about the corridors, but I didn't look that close. For the… for… if it's
on the Vision Zero plan, it doesn't place enough weight on safety. I
think that's one thing.
350
00:42:42.470 --> 00:42:46.779
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I would recommend pushing that, say,
that number from 20 to 30, possibly.
351
00:42:47.240 --> 00:43:01.850
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): The other thing is cost-
effectiveness can skew things, because since I've been on the commission,
what happens a lot of times is you've got these big programs, there's 2
or 3 million or four million dollars, and then you find out that
352
00:43:02.010 --> 00:43:08.370
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): You know, 80% can be funded by
outside money, so that should go into… that should be considered.
353
00:43:08.590 --> 00:43:26.800
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Because just having… I would
recommend possibly taking it out. This is something that Council should
decide. This project's too expensive, we're going to have to go on to
something else. But it shouldn't be in the scoring criteria, because the
score means nothing as far as safety goes. How can cost influence safety?
354
00:43:26.970 --> 00:43:28.609
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I don't think it should.
355
00:43:28.950 --> 00:43:39.330
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And even when it comes down to
balance, you could say that, how does parking influence? You have to look
at the program. Maybe the council doesn't want to remove parking, but
don't put it in the scoring.
356
00:43:39.540 --> 00:43:42.269
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): So you have safety, balance.
357
00:43:42.760 --> 00:44:02.040
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, costs that I think skew this
whole thing so you get the weirdest results. Some work out, but a lot of
them don't. And it's just… if this is how we're going to work, we've got
some problems with this document. I just can't, imagine going forward
with it. I do want to say that
358
00:44:02.150 --> 00:44:07.440
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I heard something about Foothill
Boulevard, and I did look at that, because there was a serious injury
there, and…
359
00:44:07.940 --> 00:44:26.120
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): That should be included, and…
because right now, when you look at the sidewalk segments that are placed
into there, they're, like, 126, 1488, 166, 184. So those segments,
they're very poorly ranked, considering you had somebody die, I think one
or two…
360
00:44:26.230 --> 00:44:31.210
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): One push, I can't remember how many
died. A little girl and three syringes.
361
00:44:32.390 --> 00:44:35.629
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And the other thing is, as I look
at, even when you…
362
00:44:36.090 --> 00:44:47.299
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): go through the documents, and the
scoring of the intersections, I don't believe, address Phase 2 public
concerns regarding safety at intersections, particularly at commute
hours, which is what they express.
363
00:44:47.600 --> 00:44:54.580
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): The intersections most frequently
mentioned are those along Stevens Creek Boulevard, Bollinger, Prospect,
Stelling, De Anza, and Blaney.
364
00:44:54.720 --> 00:44:57.200
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And I think,
365
00:44:57.790 --> 00:45:09.720
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): There's a lot of intersections along
those corridors that are not addressed or poorly ranked. And you have to
remember that if we're gonna, you know, this document's gonna be in place
for 10 years. That place is it probably 2036.
366
00:45:10.040 --> 00:45:14.600
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): If I look at those projects, and we
go by the prioritization.
367
00:45:14.710 --> 00:45:22.059
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): you're never going to get the Vision
Zero, and I always keep in mind that 72% of all the KSIs are in just 7
corridors.
368
00:45:23.160 --> 00:45:29.630
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): So… My… my recommendation would be
we need to re… look at.
369
00:45:33.070 --> 00:45:36.930
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Reducing that, you know, if you're
safe out to school, some of these
370
00:45:37.420 --> 00:45:48.740
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): corridors, they're safe already. You
don't need to give them 20 points to, you know, you just… that's just way
too many. You're pushing up projects that don't need to be considered.
371
00:45:48.850 --> 00:45:56.689
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Like, I just keep on thinking about
that one right behind my house. I wouldn't do a thing. I've written that
probably… I've lived there for 40 years. I've probably written that up.
372
00:45:56.830 --> 00:45:59.380
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): 500 times. It's not dangerous.
373
00:45:59.970 --> 00:46:03.630
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Stevens Creek and De Anza State
Church, that intersection.
374
00:46:03.840 --> 00:46:11.090
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Increased the maximum safety points
to 30 from 20 for the
375
00:46:11.390 --> 00:46:15.830
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): For the… anything, the corridors,
the intersections on a high-injury network.
376
00:46:16.080 --> 00:46:30.759
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And and then I would actually… for
Foothill Boulevard, I would put that on the High Injury Network and put
30 points out there for that. But, that's… you know, if we were gonna… if
I were gonna make a straw poll, I would put that… this out.
377
00:46:30.930 --> 00:46:32.150
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): You know, it's…
378
00:46:32.360 --> 00:46:40.450
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): We need to really rethink the
scoring, and how… because in the end, it's all about the project list.
379
00:46:40.840 --> 00:46:47.580
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And see… If we go with this, It's…
They are.
380
00:46:47.950 --> 00:46:53.840
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): It just doesn't make, you know, some
of it makes sense, some of it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to me.
381
00:46:54.810 --> 00:47:01.409
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you. Thank you, Joel. Thanks,
everybody. Chair, can I say one or… Yes, absolutely.
382
00:47:01.560 --> 00:47:08.209
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): So thank… thank you, everybody, for
those comments. And I just… a few things,
383
00:47:08.670 --> 00:47:15.080
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): With respect to the weightings and
the scorings, just to provide some context, Safety, of course, is…
384
00:47:15.720 --> 00:47:17.790
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Very important. Obviously.
385
00:47:18.330 --> 00:47:21.910
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): That said, it's not…
386
00:47:22.030 --> 00:47:30.099
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): a safety plan, it's an active
transportation plan. And the… the purpose… we're not trying to recreate
the plan.
387
00:47:30.820 --> 00:47:47.280
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): We have that already. So, what the
purpose of this plan is, is to encourage people to walk and bike,
identifying improvements that could be made to make the trips, the short
trips that are currently being made by automobile.
388
00:47:47.500 --> 00:47:55.830
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): appealing, easier for people to use
active transportation to walk and bike. So…
389
00:47:55.830 --> 00:48:10.460
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): The intent is not to just look at
the locations where we have had injury fatalities and make improvements
there, because ultimately that is not necessarily going to advance the
goals of the active transportation plan.
390
00:48:11.530 --> 00:48:23.910
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's a factor, and it's an important
factor, and we recognize that. But so are the other factors that we've
included that we've heard. Cost effectiveness, which we've been asked to
include by the City Council.
391
00:48:24.070 --> 00:48:26.090
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): You know, balance.
392
00:48:26.300 --> 00:48:40.000
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): These are other things, you know,
access to schools that we've heard are important and that we need to
consider in order to encourage people to get out of their cars and to
walk and bike.
393
00:48:40.160 --> 00:48:41.200
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): So…
394
00:48:41.400 --> 00:48:55.350
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): you know, if the Commission's
direction is to recreate the Vision Zero plan, we can take that
recommendation forward, but that's not the intent of the plan. Again,
safety is an important consideration, it's not… it's not the only one.
395
00:48:56.230 --> 00:49:01.250
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): And the next point I want to make is
that, you know, keep in mind as we
396
00:49:01.450 --> 00:49:07.119
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Get into, this project is higher
than that project, and why is this way down here?
397
00:49:08.690 --> 00:49:14.259
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): staff, the commissions, the council,
at any time have the discretion to
398
00:49:14.640 --> 00:49:18.489
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Pick a project from this list,
regardless of where it lands.
399
00:49:18.680 --> 00:49:27.369
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): and advance it for consideration for
funding in the CIP. We've done that with the PED plan, we've done that
with the bike plan, we will do it with this plan.
400
00:49:27.610 --> 00:49:35.930
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): The project at 100 on the list might
make sense to do tomorrow, because there's an opportunity to incorporate
that work with something else that's happening.
401
00:49:36.370 --> 00:49:38.150
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): There is no…
402
00:49:38.910 --> 00:49:47.639
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): mandate to go line by line down the
list, and if a project is 100, we're never gonna get to it, or if it's
number one, we're gonna do it tomorrow.
403
00:49:47.810 --> 00:49:50.710
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): this is… This is a guide.
404
00:49:50.970 --> 00:49:58.110
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): where projects would rank relative
to the certain criteria that we've set. But it's not…
405
00:49:58.590 --> 00:50:02.480
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Set in stone that this is the order
in which we're going to do projects.
406
00:50:02.640 --> 00:50:06.949
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, as we get into the minutiae and
we consider certain things, I just… I kind of want to…
407
00:50:07.750 --> 00:50:09.010
Quinlan Conference Room: Put that out there.
408
00:50:09.010 --> 00:50:10.670
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you, David.
409
00:50:10.675 --> 00:50:17.115
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I had some comments as well, I
wanted to share some of my observations and stuff. So I actually think,
410
00:50:17.335 --> 00:50:28.155
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's impossible to create a plan
that satisfies every scoring, every individual scoring opportunity, you
know, every project ranks imperfectly. It's impossible.
411
00:50:28.445 --> 00:50:33.595
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Unless we kind of randomly rank them
based on the fault.
412
00:50:34.005 --> 00:50:42.504
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): But I do think the feedback that we
received, and I generally, actually, I'm quite supportive of it. I think
it's actually quite a good plan.
413
00:50:42.715 --> 00:50:50.944
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's not perfect yet. I think
there's some tweaking that we can do to make it perfect, but I think
it's… it's a good foundation, it's a good core.
414
00:50:51.275 --> 00:50:56.975
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): what I think we clearly heard from
multiple sources, including this discussion here.
415
00:50:57.115 --> 00:51:01.124
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): The scoring seemed a little bit off,
and
416
00:51:01.435 --> 00:51:15.184
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think when you drill down into
what caused it to be off, it sounds like the safe route to school is
overscored. These are the some of the high network injury kind of issues
there that we've been talking about.
417
00:51:15.345 --> 00:51:23.485
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): And I think, to me, that's actually
a global, relatively easy fix to address that.
418
00:51:23.905 --> 00:51:31.794
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right now, the coalition history is
20 points, which is exactly the same as the Safe Routes to School. It's
also 20 points.
419
00:51:32.055 --> 00:51:37.535
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): to me, that's probably where the
issues are coming from. If you think about it, if you reduce
420
00:51:38.035 --> 00:51:43.815
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Let's say, as one scenario, as one
possible path forward yet,
421
00:51:43.935 --> 00:51:50.994
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): We could easily say, we're gonna
reduce the safe route to scoring impact from 20 to 10, or to 5, or
whatever.
422
00:51:51.385 --> 00:52:03.995
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): that immediately takes it down to
half of the value that it has today. And therefore, by definition, some
of the collision history issues rise up in priority and rise up in
423
00:52:04.485 --> 00:52:23.725
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): scoring there. That's a relatively
easy fix to do. It can be globally applied to all projects. Again, I'm
not trying to pick a project. I think it would be very futile for you to
pick individual projects and score based on that, but I think a more
systemic approach that we can take here to take down this school
proximity to
424
00:52:23.835 --> 00:52:40.714
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): 10 or even 5 points, if that is
what's needed there to create the balance that I think is missing today.
So that's one suggestion that I wanted to offer here as a way to kind of
address the scoring. And I agree, by the way, I think the scoring with
some of the
425
00:52:40.745 --> 00:52:51.935
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): high network injury probably should
be a little bit balanced. I'm not thinking it should be the only
criteria, it should be the exclusive way of driving the priority, but I
think bringing it a little bit more in balance would probably be no
problem.
426
00:52:52.875 --> 00:52:54.405
Quinlan Conference Room: The second one is…
427
00:52:54.515 --> 00:53:17.034
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I do agree to keep on the loss of
lane… the lane reduction and parking removal. I think it's an important
criteria on the plan. I think it has heard it over and over and over on
private projects in the past, so I think it would be a real miss to not
keep it in there. I think this is important, and I think it's about the
right priority that's assigned to it.
428
00:53:17.425 --> 00:53:32.714
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Lastly, I also believe cost is a
factor that should be considered. I mean, I used the example last time.
Two projects are equal-based, and the cost one is… one is free, and the
other one is an expensive project, and move into another fund within…
429
00:53:32.835 --> 00:53:36.434
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I would not make any changes there.
430
00:53:36.915 --> 00:53:53.465
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think there was some additional
feedback, that I heard from this discussion here about possibly
clustering some projects. I think that could be done in the bike plan, or
bike pet plan, or ATP plan, or could also be a,
431
00:53:53.965 --> 00:54:12.375
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): strategic plan, the city that they
take, so this year we can address here in those areas. And then, again, I
think the city council will probably pull projects together from the
whole list, it doesn't matter if it's priority number 7 or number 17, as
long as they are fitting with the area that they probably will pull
together as part of a
432
00:54:12.375 --> 00:54:15.184
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Bigger project in an area that the…
433
00:54:15.255 --> 00:54:34.224
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): being addressed. So I like the idea
of clustering projects into kind of units, so that you can create this
connectivity amongst different areas, and I think that could be
accomplished either within the plan or even outside the plan. I'm not
saying it has to be part of the plan, it could be also outside of the
plan, honestly.
434
00:54:34.225 --> 00:54:37.595
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Again, I think the priority, we
should not
435
00:54:37.595 --> 00:54:56.465
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): get too focused on the number that's
assigned, if this is number 7 or number 17. I think you should look at
the big picture, and if we can address the scoring, the miscoring of some
of the projects by changing, kind of, the Safe Routes to School priority,
I think that would probably address the issue.
436
00:54:56.915 --> 00:55:05.944
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I have one more final comment. I've
seen this math with, like, you're doing some correction at the end, the
correction fat, or…
437
00:55:06.815 --> 00:55:17.174
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think this is a very confusing
type of way of presenting the data. It's not very clear, and I think it
probably causes some of the confusion.
438
00:55:17.265 --> 00:55:34.204
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): The reason is obvious why we're
doing this is because the balance is currently only in the bicycle
projects, and it's not in the pedestrian project, so therefore, the total
sum, is 100 for bicycle projects, but it's only $80 for
439
00:55:34.205 --> 00:55:41.495
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): the investment projects, and to
correct for that, you have this correction factor, and I think that
creates a lot of
440
00:55:41.715 --> 00:55:43.184
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Fusion, we believe.
441
00:55:43.615 --> 00:55:50.115
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): wouldn't it be… I think the end
result is exactly the same, but wouldn't it be easier and simpler
442
00:55:50.395 --> 00:55:53.595
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): To essentially, instead of have the
two
443
00:55:53.835 --> 00:56:12.505
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): the balance, the 20 points balance,
have them positively, have them negative, essentially. So that
essentially would make sure that every score is a maximum of 80, and then
removal of parking, and you don't have this correction factor business
that you are currently doing, you can eliminate all of that.
444
00:56:12.505 --> 00:56:18.924
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): And it would exactly be the same
outcome, but I think it would be a cleaner way of presenting the data and
the results there.
445
00:56:19.065 --> 00:56:24.894
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So all you would do is, essentially,
you would have a maximum score of 80 for each of the categories.
446
00:56:24.895 --> 00:56:40.555
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, instead of having, the balance
of positive impact, having a negative impact from… from 80 downwards,
rather than from 80 upwards. That's, I think, would be exactly the same
result.
447
00:56:40.555 --> 00:56:44.595
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Same outcome, change anything in the
scoring, but it would present it in a clean way.
448
00:56:44.745 --> 00:56:50.435
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I don't know if that was very clear
with my thoughts here, but no, you reflect. Yeah, okay.
449
00:56:50.555 --> 00:56:52.095
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Great.
450
00:56:52.095 --> 00:56:54.984
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, Chair, if I may, so we're…
451
00:56:55.725 --> 00:57:00.605
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): We're getting kind of towards the
end of the ATP process.
452
00:57:01.210 --> 00:57:03.590
Quinlan Conference Room: We're going to Council tomorrow, as you all
know.
453
00:57:04.430 --> 00:57:05.610
Quinlan Conference Room: Following that.
454
00:57:07.130 --> 00:57:14.790
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): We're gonna put together the final
draft, which will be put for everybody's review and comment.
455
00:57:15.570 --> 00:57:19.470
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, in the interest of just…
456
00:57:19.970 --> 00:57:24.260
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Giving us focused direction, making
sure that we understand.
457
00:57:24.500 --> 00:57:34.989
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): is… would it be possible to get
motion or a straw pull? It seems like what's causing 90% of the angst is
the…
458
00:57:35.550 --> 00:57:40.290
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): the scoring, the weightings, of what
the Commission has a…
459
00:57:40.410 --> 00:57:47.979
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): body would recommend in terms of
weightings for the various Criteria, so that we can…
460
00:57:48.200 --> 00:57:55.059
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): focus on that moving forward in
terms of what we consider going to making. That makes reasonable, yeah.
That would be helpful. Yep.
461
00:57:56.640 --> 00:57:59.030
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think we should probably offer a
package of things.
462
00:57:59.710 --> 00:58:05.330
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): There are two or three things that
probably make sense for everybody. Again, I wouldn't make the list too
long, because of
463
00:58:05.850 --> 00:58:08.350
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think I… I don't think there's
gonna be…
464
00:58:08.630 --> 00:58:13.269
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): 15 things to fix, I think if we fix
2 things, you probably are almost there.
465
00:58:13.830 --> 00:58:17.439
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, let's do a second while here.
One question to the community.
466
00:58:17.445 --> 00:58:18.275
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): mission,
467
00:58:18.275 --> 00:58:18.875
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): a minute.
468
00:58:19.320 --> 00:58:25.679
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): I understand the parking thing is a
sensitive topic, but I want to come back to the example that I mentioned
before, where
469
00:58:25.850 --> 00:58:36.210
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): the city knows when, for example, a
street is surrounded by offices, and I'm just curious whether you'd be
open to that, depending on the zoning type, which I think the city knows.
470
00:58:36.530 --> 00:58:38.290
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): the parking requirement.
471
00:58:38.580 --> 00:58:51.480
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): moved for, for example, if the
street is surrounded by offices, as opposed to houses, where it would be
a different one where we could remove the points. But at least for, like,
a commercial use where there is ample parking, then remove that.
472
00:58:51.480 --> 00:58:52.030
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Dr.
473
00:58:52.035 --> 00:58:53.905
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): criteria here, and just assigned.
474
00:58:53.910 --> 00:58:56.099
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): the 10 points. Is that something
that…
475
00:58:56.890 --> 00:59:03.969
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I mean, I still think it's an
important criteria that I would not… I think would be a missed and not a
clue, even because
476
00:59:04.280 --> 00:59:19.079
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): You used the example before. There's
multiple options very often that are being presented, so one option is a
very destructive option, another option is not. We don't know yet which
one's going to be proposed or decided upon. Therefore, I think at the
moment.
477
00:59:19.080 --> 00:59:26.840
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): we have to kind of consider that as
a factor in the equation, in my opinion. But I'm open again for other
things.
478
00:59:26.845 --> 00:59:27.715
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): trying to…
479
00:59:28.100 --> 00:59:30.199
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Think of the things that are gonna
be…
480
00:59:30.420 --> 00:59:46.270
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Because if we are doing a
prioritization thing, if something is high in the list, we want to, you
know, implement it as quickly as possible, knowing that if it's high, we
won't have, like, resistance, for example, from the neighbors, because
there are no neighbors. So in that case.
481
00:59:46.270 --> 00:59:47.450
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Regarding, resulting parking.
482
00:59:47.715 --> 00:59:48.824
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): I was trying to think.
483
00:59:48.830 --> 01:00:01.620
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): How can we make sure that the
projects that are at the top are going to be easy to implement? And in
that case, well, there's not going to be any resistance, so we can go
ahead, and that's why they should get the point automatically. Surrounded
by
484
01:00:01.790 --> 01:00:07.750
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): commercial offices, or offices, then
in that case, they would get the points, the 10 points that are made.
485
01:00:07.890 --> 01:00:08.730
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's kind of…
486
01:00:08.735 --> 01:00:12.494
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Also, in the case of businesses,
sometimes they also don't want to lose parties.
487
01:00:12.495 --> 01:00:13.955
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, that's what I'm saying,
officers.
488
01:00:13.955 --> 01:00:16.195
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): as opposed… because they have, I
think, parking.
489
01:00:16.195 --> 01:00:20.040
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): requirements, as opposed to
Commercial, like, retail type of thing.
490
01:00:20.045 --> 01:00:21.504
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's a different one.
491
01:00:21.745 --> 01:00:22.954
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): to be honest with you, I don't know.
492
01:00:22.955 --> 01:00:23.694
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, if the city…
493
01:00:23.700 --> 01:00:38.500
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): To me, honestly, this is not one I
would probably, at this point, tackle. I think the feedback that we
strongly received is around the overall scoring of safe routes to school,
visibly high network injury. So I think if we…
494
01:00:38.650 --> 01:00:53.930
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): in the spirit of what David also
mentioned, let's focus on those things that we heard loud and clear from
multiple sources, and everybody, almost including this commission,
everybody, rather than let's pick an individual pet kind of thing there.
So, that's my recommendation.
495
01:00:54.720 --> 01:00:55.570
Quinlan Conference Room: Hello?
496
01:00:55.690 --> 01:00:57.070
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, so…
497
01:00:57.255 --> 01:01:01.444
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think I said, I was saying about
the clustering the project, or what I call it as a
498
01:01:01.695 --> 01:01:06.405
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Priority projects, or priority…
Corridors, or…
499
01:01:06.445 --> 01:01:26.304
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): you can call it a zones, where you
can pick projects around that to improve it. I think David was saying
it's not about always safety, but then safety is an important criteria
for encouraging people to really bike and walk. And so you have to
address that, without which, you know, you can do whatever you want, but
people are not going to use it, right? So that's the…
500
01:01:26.545 --> 01:01:28.285
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Challenge, so…
501
01:01:29.135 --> 01:01:43.534
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think this is where multiple
cities have done it. I can point you to, you know, City of Fremont has
done an ATP program, and then you can look at it. It's not that you need…
we need to go and create a separate document. We have an opportunity
right now to fix it, and…
502
01:01:43.535 --> 01:01:52.895
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): In spite of doing all the scoring,
I'm far, you know, changing the scoring, but maybe it's not going to
satisfy the community. You're going to find other projects that are
falling apart.
503
01:01:52.995 --> 01:01:56.084
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, you know, some of the projects
moving higher, right? So…
504
01:01:56.965 --> 01:01:59.264
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, I think we need to…
505
01:01:59.455 --> 01:02:17.525
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): come up with… maybe the staff can
take a stab at it, and I'm sure, like, if you ask the consultant, they
know about it because other cities have done it, and ask them to include
a proposal on what zones that you want to prioritize. And safety corridor
is one thing… I mean, the injury corridor is one thing, one example, but
506
01:02:17.725 --> 01:02:20.264
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): there could be others, right? So…
507
01:02:20.585 --> 01:02:35.174
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): ask them to come up with a proposal,
and then you can pick up projects, multiple projects around that.
There'll be a lot of opportunities to pick up projects of different
scoring into that criteria, because the city has decided to go and
address that zone.
508
01:02:35.285 --> 01:02:46.665
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right? Or to access it. If you're
saying that there is a… oh, it is a connectivity, just putting lists of
projects is not going to help. You need to show that, okay, we are going
to have a, you know, corridor that addresses
509
01:02:47.445 --> 01:02:53.035
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): encourages people to, you know, bike
to school or whatnot, right? So people bike to school if it is
510
01:02:53.155 --> 01:03:02.454
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): within 3 miles. This is given the
state's, you know, pedestrian plans, right? So, and similarly, the
511
01:03:03.615 --> 01:03:17.955
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): If you want to encourage people to
walk to commercial centers, then which means they trust me, within a
mile, which encourages people to walk. So this is not what I'm saying. I
think you can go and look at the state's pedestrian and bicycle plan, and
they… they provide that number, that statistic.
512
01:03:18.195 --> 01:03:20.624
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): What makes a program successful.
513
01:03:21.045 --> 01:03:30.145
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So that's… that's something that you
can… we have to state that as a vision. Watch the vision for this ATP in
order to develop these zones or areas, or projects?
514
01:03:31.605 --> 01:03:40.794
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): You can also have programs, by the
way. The programs, when I said that if you want to encourage people to
bike and walk, it's not necessarily always infrastructure development
projects. It could also be
515
01:03:40.795 --> 01:03:58.945
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): programs that will encourage people,
you know, campaigns and things, to walk and bike. So that's another thing
that could complement the infrastructure projects, and that could also be
part of the program. This is where I gave an example of City of Fremont
to go take a look at it, and there are other cities as well who have done
516
01:03:59.225 --> 01:04:01.704
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Similar things as part of the ATP.
517
01:04:02.225 --> 01:04:06.234
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, that's about it, thank you. I
was wondering.
518
01:04:06.645 --> 01:04:25.545
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Do we have to do this as part of the
bike plan, or could we… because I'm thinking it… I think the clustering,
in my opinion, makes a lot of sense, but I think it's driven by factors
that change over time. If you put this in the plan today, we lock
ourselves for a 10-year kind of a master plan. Isn't it driven by
519
01:04:25.715 --> 01:04:33.515
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Making an example here, Apple comes
out and say, I'm gonna offer you, I don't know, at this point, $6 million
to improve the area around
520
01:04:33.685 --> 01:04:48.995
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): this part of the city. And then City
Council would say, okay, well, let's see what would fall into that
category. So to me, that clustering is more a function over time, rather
than a kind of a predetermined setting that we would put in the plan.
521
01:04:50.280 --> 01:05:08.509
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): It could also… it could also work
against you, because there are 10 projects in the cluster, and you don't
have the money to do them all. It may discourage doing two of them, which
you might have the money for, which you would otherwise be able to do in
the absence of considering it as part of… so it could work…
522
01:05:08.520 --> 01:05:10.499
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Either way. I mean, I like the idea.
523
01:05:10.505 --> 01:05:27.525
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think it's a great idea, because
you get economies of scale. If you tackle an area. Maybe there is a
redevelopment, there is a new housing project being built somewhere. In
that neighborhood, you may want to do also projects that are kind of all
aligned and adjacent, so they create connections there.
524
01:05:27.525 --> 01:05:36.694
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): And as you mentioned before, that's
a decision that could be done outside of the plan when we're running
requests for projects, that you want to do this, that, and that, because
it…
525
01:05:37.175 --> 01:05:38.575
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): it'll format.
526
01:05:38.775 --> 01:05:40.894
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's the route, yeah.
527
01:05:41.870 --> 01:05:48.700
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): I believe also that there's
something I fully agree with you in terms of clusters. I like the idea of
clusters, because as I mentioned also at the beginning, that's how you.
528
01:05:48.705 --> 01:05:50.435
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): We should measure the success.
529
01:05:50.615 --> 01:06:00.035
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): of this working and parking plan is,
like, how many people are using it for these entire networks, not just
for this point, or this project and this project.
530
01:06:00.850 --> 01:06:03.510
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Any alerts, feedback, or comments?
531
01:06:06.670 --> 01:06:11.149
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I mean, if… sorry, no, I have a
couple of, talent machines.
532
01:06:11.155 --> 01:06:17.565
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right? So, thank you, Dave, for
clarifying, you know, the intent of, you know, what we are trying to do
here.
533
01:06:18.135 --> 01:06:25.675
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): I do have a question for you, like,
so you said, the goal is to encourage
534
01:06:25.845 --> 01:06:29.785
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): walking and biking and stuff, you
know, cops. That's, that's, that's so…
535
01:06:30.095 --> 01:06:32.624
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): I just want to use an example,
right? Like.
536
01:06:32.885 --> 01:06:46.684
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Where I live, right, if I need to
go to library, or, you know, if I need to go to Target or something,
right? I walk, right? Because I have no need to get on the car. If I had
to go to Safeway, right, the one, you know, on…
537
01:06:46.855 --> 01:06:50.255
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Bollinger, the one, you know, on
Homestead.
538
01:06:50.435 --> 01:06:56.654
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'm not going to walk, right? So,
I'm going to get on the car. So, so what should we do to…
539
01:06:56.865 --> 01:06:58.755
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): get me not to use color.
540
01:06:59.835 --> 01:07:12.135
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right? So, I'm just curious, like,
because, you know, if that's the intent, right? So, are we trying to
change people's behavior, or, like, you know, because that's hard, right?
So,
541
01:07:12.545 --> 01:07:27.544
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): you know, I'm going to decide based
on the proximity to where I'm trying to get to. Within a mile, people are
likely to walk, right? If it's more than a mile, they're going to get on
the car. So… so that's just the reality. So…
542
01:07:27.985 --> 01:07:36.304
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): I don't know. So, is there anything
that you could do to get me off the car? To go to Safeway?
543
01:07:38.370 --> 01:07:48.569
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, I mean, improving the
experience of, say, the bike routes and the walking routes between
McClellan and Safeway.
544
01:07:48.575 --> 01:08:01.724
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): my example, like, let's take, you
know, people that are living in Monterista area, you know, closer to… In
which area? Monta Vista, right? More closer to Lindaista Park and all
that. What is it that we can do to get them to walk, you know, these
shops?
545
01:08:01.995 --> 01:08:03.315
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): They are bikes.
546
01:08:03.455 --> 01:08:09.445
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): I can't think that, you know, there
is anything that can be done to make them to walk or bike.
547
01:08:09.635 --> 01:08:14.184
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): be serious. They're going to get on
the car and get, because it's too far.
548
01:08:15.520 --> 01:08:30.609
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Well, for some people, it will be,
yeah, but we want to try to capture those people that, you know, however
many or few there are, that do drive, that might walk or bike, if it were
me, just a little bit more appealing, and that's why we did the trip
analysis with
549
01:08:30.810 --> 01:08:43.730
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): document that looked at so many
people that are, you know, these are the locations where the origins and
destinations are between 1 and 3 miles, that really, all the people that
are driving between point A and point B
550
01:08:44.279 --> 01:08:48.660
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Some portion of them might get on
their bike and ride.
551
01:08:49.170 --> 01:08:52.670
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): These improvements between those two
points. Yeah, the.
552
01:08:52.675 --> 01:09:03.334
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'm trying to drive my example, I
don't know, the argument is, I think it's hard to change, because it is
very hard. They do what they want, right? So…
553
01:09:03.795 --> 01:09:10.374
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Our goal should be, you know, to
make it safer for people to operate within, you know, what they want.
554
01:09:10.854 --> 01:09:21.075
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right? The bikers and walkers and,
you know, cars, we should make it, you know, safer for everybody. That's
the goal underneath that, right? Not, you know, change the vehicle.
555
01:09:22.104 --> 01:09:25.765
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): To change the behavior is
impossible at this wordage.
556
01:09:25.765 --> 01:09:28.045
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): I don't think anybody's saying one.
557
01:09:28.045 --> 01:09:28.804
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): to, you know.
558
01:09:28.805 --> 01:09:48.454
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): The static goal of the ATP isn't to
achieve some kind of mode shift target, it's really just to make walking
and biking easier for those that want to choose that transportation mode.
It's providing them with the network, it's providing them with the
program and policy recommendations that are in the plan, and it's not
about mode shift. Okay, good.
559
01:09:48.460 --> 01:10:05.760
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): So I just want us to be on the same
page in terms of, you know, what is it we're trying to achieve, right?
And I have a question to, you know, Commissioner the Wolf, right? So, I
know that you are passionate about, you know, the De Anza and Stevens
Creek junction, right? So I'm curious, you know, what is it, you know,
you would do to make it safer?
560
01:10:05.760 --> 01:10:10.619
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right? I know it's a high traffic
junction in both directions, but pedestrian.
561
01:10:10.830 --> 01:10:14.559
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): What is it, you know, you can think
of? Let's say, you know, you have an infinite amount of money.
562
01:10:14.690 --> 01:10:16.939
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): What is it, you know, you do to
make it safer?
563
01:10:17.505 --> 01:10:20.635
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): I don't think we're in this
situation with the CDF.
564
01:10:20.635 --> 01:10:39.404
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'm just curious, because I want to
hear, because I see it, I, you know, it's pretty dangerous, not only for
pedestrians, but even car crossing, because, you know, nobody stops, even
after, you know, that it turns red. Yeah, yeah. And pretty dangerous,
like, you know, hit on pollisions, you know, type of a situation. So I'm
just curious, you know, what is it, you know? Yeah, yeah.
565
01:10:39.405 --> 01:10:42.114
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Before you answer, we… from the
Commission, we are…
566
01:10:42.840 --> 01:10:47.089
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): How many of us have seen at least
one accident with the police?
567
01:10:47.090 --> 01:10:50.179
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Or the, the emergency services were
here.
568
01:10:50.185 --> 01:10:51.735
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Do you see one?
569
01:10:51.865 --> 01:10:57.585
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Because I, I… like, at least once a
year, I see someone that needs…
570
01:10:57.585 --> 01:10:59.085
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh, that intersection. Intelligence.
571
01:10:59.085 --> 01:11:04.504
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): protection, that means emergency
services are way too much to my taste, so…
572
01:11:04.505 --> 01:11:15.455
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): If it's not over there, I can see
dark places in our street. Like, you know, on my old street, McLean, I've
seen so many accidents. I provided footage to the police officer, because
I have cameras.
573
01:11:15.585 --> 01:11:20.195
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right? They come to me wanting to
see, you know, footage. I've done that many times.
574
01:11:21.700 --> 01:11:30.609
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, I'll address Steven's Creek and
De Anza. I mean, I'm not a traffic engineer, but it's, I mean, the…
575
01:11:30.740 --> 01:11:36.029
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): The biggest problem you have is, as
a pedestrian, I mean, I do see red light running frequently.
576
01:11:36.180 --> 01:11:37.369
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): But, brilliant.
577
01:11:37.370 --> 01:11:39.440
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): I mean, where the cops stay? Where
the cops, yeah.
578
01:11:39.445 --> 01:11:41.875
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): But what you do see is when you're
in the crosswalk.
579
01:11:42.235 --> 01:11:46.085
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Either stepping out into the
crosswalk, or coming across
580
01:11:46.195 --> 01:11:48.995
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And… there are people that just…
581
01:11:49.425 --> 01:11:53.884
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): In broad daylight, they just won't
stop for you.
582
01:11:54.495 --> 01:12:00.325
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): You have to have people… if
everybody obeyed the law, you wouldn't need all these… this
infrastructure improvement.
583
01:12:00.595 --> 01:12:05.185
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): You have to get people to, you know,
stop before you turn right on.
584
01:12:05.785 --> 01:12:18.864
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): You have to get people to stop for
people that are in the pedestrian crosswalk that have, you know, have the
right only. I mean, that's… you're… you feel threatened, and… and I live
very close by, and I talk to my neighbors, I ask them.
585
01:12:19.575 --> 01:12:27.114
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): They will tell me, many of my
neighbors will tell me, they don't want to cross Stevens Group, Indiana.
It's not safe. It's just so aggressive.
586
01:12:27.365 --> 01:12:31.904
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And and there was a former mayor
that I won't name, just
587
01:12:32.025 --> 01:12:38.355
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): My wife and I and 3 other… 4 other
people, already crossing, Stevens Creek and Gannis a few weeks ago.
588
01:12:38.405 --> 01:12:57.735
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And we were out in the crosswalk,
maybe 10 feet, and he zooms across, takes a right turn across our
pathway, and that did not make anybody feel safe at a fairly high speed.
Now, he probably thought he could do it without hitting anybody, but
there are… those behavioral changes have to be made.
589
01:12:57.835 --> 01:13:01.844
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And those are two very aggressive
streets, red light cameras.
590
01:13:01.850 --> 01:13:03.769
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Do you like that for us?
591
01:13:03.775 --> 01:13:19.665
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): have cameras that actually ticket
people for turn… for not stopping on a bed before you turn right, and for
ticketing people that, if you're in the crosswalk, then you can't be
turning through that, you know.
592
01:13:19.725 --> 01:13:25.745
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): You know, if I cross that medium
barrier, and I'm in that sectional crosswalk, you gotta stop there.
Bringing us back to the technology.
593
01:13:25.745 --> 01:13:27.165
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): discussion, I think.
594
01:13:27.910 --> 01:13:42.669
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): David probably knows some things you
can do, bump outs and, leading pedestrian vehicles, you know, you can do
certain things that maybe make it less amenable to turning right, but I
mean, I don't think it's, you know, it's our…
595
01:13:42.910 --> 01:13:47.659
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): our goal here to solve these
problems. No, I was wondering, though.
596
01:13:48.110 --> 01:13:57.900
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Something like, you know, given
what you described, seems like, you know, no right thong red, you know,
would help, because, you know, people are just, you know, making a right
thong.
597
01:13:58.060 --> 01:14:10.510
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): full speed, you know, even though
pedestrings are processed, right? Because there are two… they just come
from two sources. Like, one is, you know, people that don't stop for it,
right? So, that's, you know, the street traffic that are going.
598
01:14:10.690 --> 01:14:22.850
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): There's nothing we can do, you
know, to change that behavior. They're going to run the red light,
they're going to run, and most likely the pedestrian is not going to be,
you know, there at that point, because, you know, you start
599
01:14:23.000 --> 01:14:42.869
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Little later, right? So… but then I
see your point on, you know, the right turns, right? Because, you know,
you've made the cross, and you were pretty close, you know, coming to the
end point, and then somebody's, you know, trying to, you know, cut you
through, because, you know, they think, you know, they can make a right
turn. So… so that, you know, I can see, okay? Thank you for the
clarification. Yeah.
600
01:14:43.720 --> 01:14:47.120
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Wonderful. So, I think, Pennya, or…
I didn't want to…
601
01:14:47.310 --> 01:14:50.329
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I want to address what David said.
602
01:14:50.450 --> 01:15:01.130
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): the, earlier, when we were working
on the Vision Zero, I remember, I think I asked you, I said, well, how do
we get this implemented? And I think I was told it was the Active
Transportation Plan.
603
01:15:01.260 --> 01:15:17.829
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Now you're telling us, okay, it's
not the Active Transportation Plan, because Vision Zero just has a series
of tools. It doesn't really… and it tells you where the dangerous areas
are and where the KSIs are, but I mean, I think the… I was told that the
Active Transportation Plan is how we get Vision Zero implemented.
604
01:15:18.170 --> 01:15:22.129
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And so I'd like to… and the other
thing I…
605
01:15:22.260 --> 01:15:38.759
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): looked at is… it was a while back,
but I thought there was a listing of what projects were done. We had
three tiers for the prior, I don't know if it was the bike pad plan,
maybe both of them combined, but it seems to me, if you're a Tier 1, the
first group, you're going to have much better chance of getting that
project done.
606
01:15:38.940 --> 01:15:40.060
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And,
607
01:15:40.320 --> 01:15:47.139
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): the, then if you're in Tier 2,
especially if you're in Tier 3. I don't… we don't have any tiers right
now.
608
01:15:47.280 --> 01:15:53.559
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): But, what concerned me is just two
things. It's just how they're ranked, and the missing
609
01:15:53.730 --> 01:15:56.939
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Certain intersections aren't even in
there, so…
610
01:15:57.090 --> 01:16:13.249
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): how are we going to improve the
safety of those intersections? I mean, that are in the, you know, listed
as high-injury interceptions? So, that… that would be my point there. So,
why rank it if, you know, maybe we should just list all the projects and
decide how… we shouldn't even have any scoring.
611
01:16:13.780 --> 01:16:26.639
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Maybe you just list all the
projects, and then you get the council, the Council decides what projects
to pick. Because if we're saying the score isn't that important, then I
would be concerned about that.
612
01:16:27.560 --> 01:16:31.419
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And the other thing I would say is
that
613
01:16:31.860 --> 01:16:43.669
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And we… there are other plans out
there, you know, it's the Climate Action Plan, I don't know if you're
aware that there are goals to reduce, to increase walking and biking, so
you… I think it's the…
614
01:16:44.000 --> 01:16:55.070
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think Viking by about 15% by 2030,
and maybe 30% by 2035. Do you see that happening? I think you would need
a very good plan, and some really good infrastructure to do that.
615
01:16:55.140 --> 01:17:07.809
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then we have a 2018 VTA county-
wide plan, and they list the major corridors that are in the… that
they're concerned with for, you know, cross-city travel, cross… cross-
county travel.
616
01:17:07.940 --> 01:17:24.610
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, and I don't know if those were
included or considered, because there's some major corridors in there
that, I think Homestead is one of them. It's not really getting a lot of
love in this… in this project listing. And I think Home… I think it's
Homestead, Bollinger.
617
01:17:24.610 --> 01:17:28.119
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Stevens Creek, so some of these
plants are not getting any
618
01:17:28.300 --> 01:17:47.610
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): some of these, quarters are not
getting any consideration, or a great deal of consideration from, from
Cupertino, and if it's in the VTA plan, how does that, how does that… how
do those two things mesh? So, I'd just like to point that out. There's
other plans out there that talk about walking… walking and biking,
particularly biking.
619
01:17:47.900 --> 01:17:48.990
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): that I'm…
620
01:17:50.220 --> 01:18:00.529
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Are we doing anything with vision…
with Climate Action Plan? And there are a list of recommendations in the
Climate Action Plan, about 3 pages, of things that we as a
621
01:18:00.830 --> 01:18:06.240
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): You know, that should be in the
active transportation plan, which, you know, I haven't spent a lot of
time on.
622
01:18:06.560 --> 01:18:10.960
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): But, I mean, we could talk about
this for days.
623
01:18:10.965 --> 01:18:14.145
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I agree, I agree, I think that's
right. I mean, I think, to me, the…
624
01:18:14.525 --> 01:18:22.874
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): the main message I heard tonight,
and even the days before, I was, I was also attending the,
625
01:18:23.735 --> 01:18:26.545
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Planet Commission meeting, as I was
listening in there as well.
626
01:18:26.615 --> 01:18:37.264
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think it's very clear that the
scoring, can improve. I mean, the rest, to me, I think, is actually all
acceptable. I think the rest is all workable.
627
01:18:37.325 --> 01:18:49.154
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think the scoring… again, I made
the recommendation I made earlier to reduce the Safe Routes to School
scoring, so that we can have a more
628
01:18:49.425 --> 01:19:01.914
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): indirectly higher priority. And I
think I hear, David, I think it's not… ATP is not equal to, Action Zero
Plan. I think that's totally a fair comment. I think it's a…
629
01:19:02.095 --> 01:19:17.525
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Action Zero is a subset of the… the
ATP is a superset, effectively. So it encompasses everything. But I think
if we tune that storing so that we get a little bit more mileage out of
the high engineering networks.
630
01:19:18.355 --> 01:19:22.025
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I can see that as a working solution
for tonight.
631
01:19:22.415 --> 01:19:28.754
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): throw a proposal on the table, and,
you know, maybe, you know, make a motion and, you know, vote on that.
Yes, yes.
632
01:19:30.605 --> 01:19:36.985
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, I'm happy to talk to, yeah,
that's for me.
633
01:19:44.530 --> 01:19:50.669
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So we, I'm making a draft in the
weekend, Eddie. I move to promote the,
634
01:19:51.410 --> 01:20:03.309
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): ATP plan draft version 2, as, as
presented tonight, with the following, modifications. First, to address
635
01:20:03.510 --> 01:20:08.169
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): The scoring inequality, of,
636
01:20:08.980 --> 01:20:11.389
Quinlan Conference Room: Vision Zero Impine Network Injury.
637
01:20:14.080 --> 01:20:15.250
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Going too fast.
638
01:20:15.410 --> 01:20:16.689
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Sweet.
639
01:20:23.690 --> 01:20:25.140
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Feeds do that.
640
01:20:26.980 --> 01:20:30.280
Quinlan Conference Room: move to approve the ATP draft.
641
01:20:31.480 --> 01:20:32.560
Quinlan Conference Room: version.
642
01:20:35.460 --> 01:20:36.720
Quinlan Conference Room: No, no jet.
643
01:20:37.520 --> 01:20:38.939
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): as presented.
644
01:20:39.570 --> 01:20:40.650
Quinlan Conference Room: Today.
645
01:20:41.230 --> 01:20:42.809
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): with the following…
646
01:20:45.220 --> 01:20:46.150
Quinlan Conference Room: Online?
647
01:20:46.260 --> 01:20:48.249
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Set of modifications.
648
01:20:50.540 --> 01:20:59.480
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, question. There's no draft of
where ATP still is yet to be… Yeah, you're right, you're right.
649
01:20:59.990 --> 01:21:02.729
Quinlan Conference Room: Pleasure to be able to talk about this. So this
is the.
650
01:21:03.030 --> 01:21:08.639
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Is it a proposal, or what do you
call it? A draft project prioritization list?
651
01:21:09.810 --> 01:21:12.209
Quinlan Conference Room: Okay. Well, it's more than that, though, it's.
652
01:21:14.580 --> 01:21:18.159
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Well, we could say that the draft
materials as presented. Draft materials as presented.
653
01:21:18.160 --> 01:21:23.580
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): But yeah, I think everybody knows
what… because I think it's probably materially what has been presented.
654
01:21:29.780 --> 01:21:36.130
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, first modification would be to,
Address the inequality
655
01:21:40.000 --> 01:21:41.000
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): False.
656
01:21:41.460 --> 01:21:49.740
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): ranking of… Cupertino Vision Zero,
and, as well as High Network, High Enjoy Network.
657
01:21:57.620 --> 01:22:01.590
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): of inequality kind of always have
imbalance between… Sure.
658
01:22:04.780 --> 01:22:07.789
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): inequality would be balanced.
Between…
659
01:22:08.110 --> 01:22:10.380
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): The ranking for 10 addition of zero.
660
01:22:11.170 --> 01:22:12.090
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Every teacher.
661
01:22:15.370 --> 01:22:19.400
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): inequality or imbalance between?
Between, I would say the.
662
01:22:19.990 --> 01:22:26.869
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): high engineering network from Vision
Zero, and the proposed projects in the ATP.
663
01:22:28.520 --> 01:22:30.299
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's fair. Yeah, let's fine.
664
01:22:32.490 --> 01:22:34.820
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): And we could do this by, sort of.
665
01:22:34.950 --> 01:22:37.519
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): The sentence is not complete yet.
666
01:22:47.690 --> 01:22:49.280
Quinlan Conference Room: of the Vision Zero plan.
667
01:22:52.070 --> 01:22:54.480
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): My engineering corridors and
intersections.
668
01:22:54.640 --> 01:22:55.989
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Hold on, hold on.
669
01:22:56.600 --> 01:22:57.713
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Let's just…
670
01:22:59.390 --> 01:23:00.450
Quinlan Conference Room: Trusty.
671
01:23:08.060 --> 01:23:08.670
Quinlan Conference Room: Okay.
672
01:23:15.330 --> 01:23:16.039
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): How's that?
673
01:23:17.590 --> 01:23:21.320
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Continue the sentence, and I enter a
network by…
674
01:23:23.370 --> 01:23:24.710
Quinlan Conference Room: reducing…
675
01:23:26.970 --> 01:23:34.020
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): the… Max score for school proximity
to 10?
676
01:23:49.140 --> 01:23:54.710
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): for, for all, I guess, I guess, for
all, addresses.
677
01:23:54.900 --> 01:23:57.299
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): For all format… all three purposes.
678
01:24:03.980 --> 01:24:08.010
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Or… Both.
679
01:24:12.970 --> 01:24:14.800
Quinlan Conference Room: For all three matrices? Yep.
680
01:24:16.430 --> 01:24:22.340
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So it's bicycle network, it's,
pedestrian intersections, pedestrian side.
681
01:24:22.910 --> 01:24:37.709
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So that, that essentially boosts
the, high networks and high engineering networks. And then the second
point, that I wanted to repeat what I mentioned earlier, is I think we
should eliminate that, kind of.
682
01:24:38.130 --> 01:24:48.040
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): score adjustment, the 1.25
adjustment and whatnot there, by essentially making the balance, in the
bicycle
683
01:24:48.260 --> 01:24:49.790
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): a negative value.
684
01:24:50.370 --> 01:24:53.970
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): But just wondering, the school
proximity is in a different bucket, right?
685
01:24:53.970 --> 01:24:57.089
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's in a different bucket, yeah.
It's in Access. Yes.
686
01:24:57.095 --> 01:24:57.735
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): access for.
687
01:24:57.735 --> 01:25:08.865
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): for example, for the basketball
network project prioritization matrix, access will go down to 20? Yes,
correct. Correct, correct, correct, correct. You say that again?
688
01:25:08.870 --> 01:25:10.359
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): The max safety platform.
689
01:25:10.365 --> 01:25:14.084
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Total max store or access will go
down to 20. Yeah, safety will go.
690
01:25:14.085 --> 01:25:15.735
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, up to 40 in access to.
691
01:25:15.740 --> 01:25:18.600
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): go down to the point, because we
would… Oh, I did not…
692
01:25:18.605 --> 01:25:21.605
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I did not consider moving it up to…
I did not consider that.
693
01:25:21.605 --> 01:25:27.674
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): The school bus proximity safe for us
to school criteria is in the access criteria, so we need to change.
694
01:25:27.680 --> 01:25:28.470
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Is that possible.
695
01:25:28.860 --> 01:25:35.110
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's… that's correct, but the
other… the second point that you made, I did not consider that. I haven't
thought about that, so I'm sure you think about that.
696
01:25:35.250 --> 01:25:43.550
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So yes, the first point that Irvine
made is correct, that we use is essentially the max score for access to
20 from 30.
697
01:25:45.810 --> 01:25:48.700
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Influent to these 10 points into
the…
698
01:25:49.180 --> 01:25:52.120
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Behind your guests. Start over, what
do we…
699
01:25:52.125 --> 01:25:58.305
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): For all three matrices, comma,
reducing…
700
01:26:00.240 --> 01:26:02.830
Quinlan Conference Room: The goal max score.
701
01:26:04.120 --> 01:26:09.110
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): for access… For access.
702
01:26:12.630 --> 01:26:13.710
Quinlan Conference Room: To…
703
01:26:14.510 --> 01:26:16.090
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): 20 feet? 20.
704
01:26:16.980 --> 01:26:19.300
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'm afraid we should find some
people.
705
01:26:20.610 --> 01:26:22.040
Quinlan Conference Room: Thanks, Matt.
706
01:26:25.080 --> 01:26:31.899
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Let me just finish maybe the second
part that I wanted to make, and then come back to your… I will not forget
it.
707
01:26:32.060 --> 01:26:32.540
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): Just one thing.
708
01:26:32.540 --> 01:26:34.179
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thanks to the school.
709
01:26:34.180 --> 01:26:37.789
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Proximity is defined as located
along.
710
01:26:37.795 --> 01:26:38.725
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's just cool.
711
01:26:38.965 --> 01:26:43.015
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): may or may not be the same, but I'd
rather resells.
712
01:26:43.830 --> 01:26:47.300
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): co-proximity, meaning along the
system. Proximity is the proxim.
713
01:26:47.305 --> 01:26:50.934
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): criteria, that's the criteria,
that's what it's called. Yeah, but you can…
714
01:26:52.530 --> 01:26:55.020
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Proximity to school would not be
necessary for us to stop.
715
01:26:57.320 --> 01:26:58.240
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): prompt.
716
01:26:59.680 --> 01:27:02.259
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right, right. I can tell you at
Eaton, for example.
717
01:27:02.265 --> 01:27:03.085
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Garlic.
718
01:27:03.325 --> 01:27:09.205
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): streets that are not… that they are…
Yeah, that they are not passing through to feed the cowboy.
719
01:27:09.210 --> 01:27:09.770
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): You, how would you?
720
01:27:09.770 --> 01:27:12.759
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'll just say, instead of saying.
721
01:27:12.765 --> 01:27:15.425
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Not for, for being…
722
01:27:16.540 --> 01:27:19.729
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Located along a safe route
distribution block.
723
01:27:23.550 --> 01:27:25.460
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, okay, that's fine, that's
fine.
724
01:27:25.660 --> 01:27:28.059
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then the second point,
725
01:27:29.780 --> 01:27:33.829
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Make the balance in the bicycle,
726
01:27:34.200 --> 01:27:39.750
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): metrics a negative score, so
meaning,
727
01:27:39.850 --> 01:27:45.220
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): It deducts points if lane reductions
or parking removal is happening.
728
01:27:53.980 --> 01:27:56.449
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): We really are doubling the weight
for the balance.
729
01:27:56.510 --> 01:27:57.070
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Nope.
730
01:27:57.070 --> 01:28:15.659
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, I will… I'm just equalizing
everything to the same number, because the other ones are, right now… the
reason why we have this imbalance right now is because balance is only in
the bicycle metrics, it's not in the other ones. That's why… and that's
why we have to do this conversion business with the 125.
731
01:28:15.930 --> 01:28:16.330
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Well…
732
01:28:18.100 --> 01:28:23.039
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): We do the conversion in the
technology quarters as well.
733
01:28:23.045 --> 01:28:30.415
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think it's only four projects
range, so I don't think they will have any material in the pack. You can
still do it for them if you prefer, so…
734
01:28:30.915 --> 01:28:35.384
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Or you change the scoring points so
that you get up to the same number.
735
01:28:36.005 --> 01:28:48.035
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): percentage-wise. Keep the same
percentage-wise, but just adjust it so that the same, total number, I
think it's now… we have a total of 17 now maximum in each of the
categories.
736
01:28:53.035 --> 01:28:57.464
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I don't know if this has been
cleared here. Is this clear what the intent here is? We could also…
737
01:28:57.465 --> 01:29:08.165
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Remove the modifier as a column and
change the total to the adjusted score total, to clarify that that
normalization occurred, but then removing that.
738
01:29:08.810 --> 01:29:10.450
Quinlan Conference Room: value.
739
01:29:11.460 --> 01:29:16.489
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Next to the other criteria, which
might kind of clean up some of the confusion there.
740
01:29:17.640 --> 01:29:26.359
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think what I suggested to me
sounds pretty clear. Okay. I can certainly explain this to anybody. Okay.
But the conversion?
741
01:29:26.365 --> 01:29:29.385
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Explain it again to me.
742
01:29:29.385 --> 01:29:30.115
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): The conversion.
743
01:29:30.120 --> 01:29:31.600
Speaker 12 (Quinlan Conference Room): business with people for me to.
744
01:29:31.605 --> 01:29:33.884
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, to be honest.
745
01:29:33.885 --> 01:29:53.365
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): limit the amount of work we need the
consultant to do, because they have it all programmed on their end, where
those values are in there. I just don't know the amount of work that's
going to be required for their GIS staff to make those edits. So, it
could be a simple reworking or modification, or it could be something
that could require… They could change the.
746
01:29:53.365 --> 01:29:56.725
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): the modifier to 1.00 for all of
them.
747
01:29:56.725 --> 01:29:59.364
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): If they really want to… Can we…
748
01:29:59.365 --> 01:30:07.155
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Can we keep it general and say,
just… Eliminate the modifier column, and…
749
01:30:07.985 --> 01:30:13.165
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): adjust as appropriate. Yeah, I think
the best way to do it.
750
01:30:13.165 --> 01:30:18.544
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): how to address it is to make the
balance a negative balance. That's the… that's the way, I think that's
the core.
751
01:30:18.550 --> 01:30:31.029
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): And the way we approached that
scoring, too, is we wanted to reward projects with fewer trade-offs, so
that's why they were given the additional points, rather than saying, no,
these are bad projects, we want to subtract points from them, so…
752
01:30:31.760 --> 01:30:33.869
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Kind of a distinction in framing.
753
01:30:34.320 --> 01:30:37.619
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): But it adds a lot of complexity and
understanding to the scoring.
754
01:30:38.340 --> 01:30:39.989
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): It just adds an additional column.
755
01:30:44.020 --> 01:30:52.520
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'm open for ideas and suggestions
as well. I mean, I think this is something that when I looked through it,
it stuck out in my eye as a super thought.
756
01:30:52.880 --> 01:30:53.420
Quinlan Conference Room: Bye.
757
01:30:53.610 --> 01:30:55.190
Quinlan Conference Room: I would recommend…
758
01:30:56.710 --> 01:31:02.760
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Going to 30 points under safety
criteria with… under collision history.
759
01:31:02.910 --> 01:31:05.689
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Going from 20 to 30 points for those
760
01:31:06.090 --> 01:31:16.240
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Intersections in maybe the top, 7
high-injury corridors in the top 20 high injury intersections.
761
01:31:16.460 --> 01:31:34.950
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): So that they… they do get some
preference, that you… you're sure that these dangerous corridors and the
dangerous intersections are going to be addressed. They're not going to
be pushed way down. And I've looked at many of the intersections, and I…
I think that… I think there needs to be…
762
01:31:35.550 --> 01:31:38.590
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think knocking 10 points off of,
of the,
763
01:31:39.040 --> 01:31:47.009
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Safe Routes to school, thing is
good, but, I think you're gonna have to go add some safety to the,
764
01:31:47.650 --> 01:31:50.939
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): For the high injury intersections,
the high injury corridors.
765
01:31:50.945 --> 01:31:51.685
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): but.
766
01:31:51.690 --> 01:31:53.220
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): You're concerned?
767
01:31:53.225 --> 01:31:57.324
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): A high engineering intersection and
high-ending poor cargoers.
768
01:31:57.465 --> 01:31:59.084
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Are telling us something.
769
01:31:59.225 --> 01:32:09.774
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): You know, in the sense, you know,
if the accident's happening there, that's an indication that something
needs to be done there. So we need to weigh that in.
770
01:32:10.415 --> 01:32:14.165
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's pretty, like, you know, yet
another section.
771
01:32:14.165 --> 01:32:20.695
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): you can either address it as part of
the points here, or you could have that as a separate criteria.
772
01:32:20.925 --> 01:32:39.675
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): I was talking about clustering, but
you can pick high energy network that's addressed in Vision Zero and say
that… use that as an opportunity to address those things here. You don't
want to go after priority zones and things like that, which you said that
it could change. But this is not going to change. It's already well
documented. Yes, yes. And it's already.
773
01:32:39.675 --> 01:32:49.804
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): there's already category here, so, I
mean, maybe it sounds like upgrading to 30 from 20 may be a way to
address those issues. I would agree with that.
774
01:32:50.555 --> 01:33:03.974
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): it certainly brings down a lot. I
mean, we essentially kind of returned it… so I'm sure there's going to be
some feedback coming, now, save our school, you know, I'm concerned about
them at all.
775
01:33:05.495 --> 01:33:07.904
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Some of that is gonna come there.
776
01:33:08.255 --> 01:33:12.425
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I can go on this one either way. I'm
very, very happy this is going.
777
01:33:15.315 --> 01:33:17.684
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, what are we… are we changing?
778
01:33:17.925 --> 01:33:18.755
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh.
779
01:33:18.995 --> 01:33:23.184
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'll increase maximum safety points
to 30 from 20.
780
01:33:24.090 --> 01:33:25.130
Quinlan Conference Room: for the…
781
01:33:26.050 --> 01:33:28.050
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Do you want to say the top?
782
01:33:28.055 --> 01:33:31.865
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): The High Injury Network? To the High
Injury Network. You have to go…
783
01:33:31.865 --> 01:33:35.005
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): total gold max to 40. So the total
would be 40.
784
01:33:35.010 --> 01:33:35.539
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): So that would.
785
01:33:35.540 --> 01:33:40.889
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): apply to the corridors of concern
and the priority intersection projects? Okay.
786
01:33:41.250 --> 01:33:44.099
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Well, this would apply to all the
addresses, right?
787
01:33:44.560 --> 01:33:52.370
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Well, yes, but the projects that
overlap with the corridors of concern, which are the top 7 kind of
corridors, and…
788
01:33:52.960 --> 01:34:00.419
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): Forget how many are the top
intersections, but… There's a total of 48, but yeah, but the ones that
are in the top, however many that is.
789
01:34:00.420 --> 01:34:03.430
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): 10, a top 20, top 10. Yeah, I forget
how it's classified.
790
01:34:12.200 --> 01:34:23.179
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I mean, I think certainly that, in
my opinion, is a pretty radical shift, for safety. I think it kind of
addresses the feedback that we have received from
791
01:34:23.400 --> 01:34:32.900
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): public community, as well as, as
hearing this committee and stuff. I feel… I feel this is a reasonable
change we should, we should support. So basically, we're… we're bringing…
792
01:34:34.140 --> 01:34:35.250
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Safe Route.
793
01:34:36.080 --> 01:34:38.330
Quinlan Conference Room: From 20 to 10.
794
01:34:38.420 --> 01:34:43.640
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Correct. We're adding… We're making
high injury network from 20 to 30. Correct.
795
01:34:44.700 --> 01:34:47.200
Quinlan Conference Room: So we're just taking 10, shifting from… yep.
796
01:34:47.200 --> 01:34:49.890
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yep. And then the mod… The full
overall.
797
01:34:49.895 --> 01:34:50.924
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Max is gonna remain.
798
01:34:50.925 --> 01:34:54.175
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): It's gonna remain the same, yeah.
799
01:34:54.810 --> 01:34:56.230
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, and now…
800
01:34:56.920 --> 01:35:01.959
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): The only other thing I would add is
I would like to see the Foothole Boulevard be
801
01:35:02.420 --> 01:35:12.109
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): I know it's not in the high-injury
Network right now in Vision Zero, but because of those recent deaths, we
should possibly add that to that additional high-injury network.
802
01:35:12.115 --> 01:35:27.605
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): up many, many times as well in
comments, so I don't know if it's… it is somewhere spread throughout
there in sub-projects, I've seen some in there, but it may not be as
prominent, so maybe the scoring change will make it more visible, I don't
know. Well, that would put it…
803
01:35:27.875 --> 01:35:31.864
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): We'd get to 30 points, then, you
know, because right now, the sidewalks are…
804
01:35:32.085 --> 01:35:39.114
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): very poorly ranked around Foothill,
so this would be… this would be under the sidewalk criteria. But this is
a… this is a.
805
01:35:39.115 --> 01:35:43.635
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): scoring criteria, it'll be very hard
for you to check the project I'm scoring.
806
01:35:43.635 --> 01:35:44.374
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): No, we're not gonna…
807
01:35:44.380 --> 01:35:45.510
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's our face.
808
01:35:45.855 --> 01:35:52.614
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): We should rely on whatever the
scoring is here, and, also then look at it and.
809
01:35:52.805 --> 01:35:58.594
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, we can't go pick where certain
accidents have happened and throw those at the top.
810
01:35:58.595 --> 01:36:02.375
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, instead, that could become a
separate project, like, Council might.
811
01:36:02.375 --> 01:36:05.504
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right, we can do the project
anywhere, yeah.
812
01:36:07.480 --> 01:36:11.910
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So I think there's no specific
action on this one here. I think, to me, those are the two…
813
01:36:13.280 --> 01:36:17.159
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): The two specific items. Anything
else that we should do?
814
01:36:18.400 --> 01:36:19.219
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): voting on?
815
01:36:19.640 --> 01:36:23.470
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): The only other thing I would
consider is the fact that some of these big projects
816
01:36:24.730 --> 01:36:32.890
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Some of these big projects are well-
funded outside, you know, not from the community, but from outside the
community. How do we account for that? Because…
817
01:36:33.050 --> 01:36:35.900
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): If it's a $3 million project, it
gets dinged.
818
01:36:36.100 --> 01:36:39.540
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): But at the same time, you might get
$2.5 million.
819
01:36:39.730 --> 01:36:44.290
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): from, Measure B funds, but the
operational keyword is.
820
01:36:44.295 --> 01:36:48.025
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): we might get, and I think that's
what… we don't know, we have no idea at this point.
821
01:36:48.125 --> 01:36:48.865
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): But you…
822
01:36:48.870 --> 01:36:53.189
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): So if we might need, then that
criteria should be removed, because we still don't…
823
01:36:53.195 --> 01:37:00.894
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): the reality is, if nobody else steps
in, and we want to do it, we foot the bill as Filipino. But historically
speaking.
824
01:37:00.900 --> 01:37:05.150
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Again, I think, spent pretty good
money behind a lot of its projects.
825
01:37:05.155 --> 01:37:11.025
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): So I think, you know, my take on
that is, you know, yes, budget is a conservation, money is not infinite
figured purposes.
826
01:37:11.035 --> 01:37:29.064
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): But if there is… someone comes
along and says, you know, hey, I'll fund this project as far up in the
list, I'll pay the whole bill, you know, all of a sudden it becomes a $0
project for us, great, it moves up. Great. So… so I think, you know,
those things can come to the Council, and then they could come to the
bike commission, get addressed.
827
01:37:33.120 --> 01:37:36.539
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): All right. Anything else? Yeah,
let's…
828
01:37:36.745 --> 01:37:48.554
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): wondering, like, you know, if we… at
least… I know that we didn't have a consensus on making this a concrete
proposal, but we want to at least make it as a recommendation so City
Council can have a look at it?
829
01:37:48.555 --> 01:37:56.055
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah. Yeah, I think that's a
reasonable question. Again, I wouldn't make it as part of the plan for
the reasons we talked about. Yeah.
830
01:37:56.055 --> 01:37:57.575
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): recommendation.
831
01:37:57.575 --> 01:38:07.795
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): as part of a future, enhancement or,
or improvement. We, we recommend that the projects will be clustered,
and,
832
01:38:08.665 --> 01:38:14.514
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Cluster, I really don't know. I
think this is almost an annual project. I mean, this is coming back to
us.
833
01:38:14.515 --> 01:38:17.514
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): And by the way, something that… it's
an SSL that's been.
834
01:38:17.515 --> 01:38:20.095
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): done already, because the premise of
the plan was to show.
835
01:38:20.100 --> 01:38:23.510
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): is to remember the heat map that
Steven.
836
01:38:23.515 --> 01:38:24.514
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Creek Boulevard and all the.
837
01:38:24.515 --> 01:38:25.895
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): This area was again.
838
01:38:25.900 --> 01:38:29.140
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Can you kind of… Corridor to
prioritize.
839
01:38:29.535 --> 01:38:34.624
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): That cannot be secured, so yeah, I
think it would be great to see it again in terms of, okay, this is what…
840
01:38:35.290 --> 01:38:37.719
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): the premises, and this is…
841
01:38:39.065 --> 01:38:41.804
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): We consider an annual week.
842
01:38:41.805 --> 01:38:43.004
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Google, project planning.
843
01:38:43.005 --> 01:38:51.334
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): custom, so… Consider annual review
of projects listed in the ATP.
844
01:38:54.280 --> 01:38:59.500
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): I don't… I don't really think… I
don't want to… you're right, you're right.
845
01:39:03.130 --> 01:39:03.700
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): book.
846
01:39:03.950 --> 01:39:13.810
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): clustering projects, projects, post-
projects, or… I want to refer specifically to those projects here that
are in the ATP projects, or something like that.
847
01:39:17.200 --> 01:39:19.080
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, great. Okay.
848
01:39:20.000 --> 01:39:28.820
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think we have a motion. Oh,
actually, we don't have a motion. Do we have a motion on this? If not,
then I'll move to it.
849
01:39:31.050 --> 01:39:34.749
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): And then we need a second? Yeah, hi,
second. Okay.
850
01:39:35.070 --> 01:39:38.759
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Motion, you have a second. Let's do
a vote, David, please. Okay.
851
01:39:38.765 --> 01:39:46.524
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): For the motion on the screen, how do
you vote, Chair Eshelbeck? Yes. Vice Chair Madipatla? Yes. Commissioner
Ganga? Yes. Commissioner Marcy?
852
01:39:46.655 --> 01:39:47.735
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Commissioner Wolf.
853
01:39:48.135 --> 01:39:50.514
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Motion passes unanimously.
854
01:39:50.635 --> 01:39:52.995
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Wonderful, thank you.
855
01:39:52.995 --> 01:39:56.115
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So that closes the item number.
856
01:39:57.115 --> 01:39:59.184
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Item number 3,
857
01:40:02.185 --> 01:40:08.085
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): And this is probably going to be a
fairly quick, the next one, I would assume. So let's.
858
01:40:08.085 --> 01:40:10.445
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's because you know, too long.
859
01:40:14.000 --> 01:40:28.589
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Let's, let's do, add another three
as well, which is about 4 Avenue Town Center Lane Pedestrian Crossing
Park, which is a project we've discussed before its Commission, and I'm
asking, President to give us to walk us through it.
860
01:40:28.940 --> 01:40:35.260
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Good evening, Chair and
Commissioners. I'm presenting the item number 3, the Tour Revenue,
861
01:40:35.260 --> 01:40:37.149
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): town center lane pedestrian
crossing.
862
01:40:38.900 --> 01:40:57.800
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): This item was previously presented
to the Bicycle Pedestrian Commission on October 15, 2025. Following that
meeting, staff completed a detailed field review and conducted a…
collected data collection. The data collection included pedestrian calls,
bicycle calls, biker calls.
863
01:40:57.800 --> 01:41:08.630
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): collision analysis for 5 years, and
also speed counts. Staff has also incorporated initial feedback which we
received from Commission in the development of the proposed improvements.
864
01:41:10.990 --> 01:41:24.039
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): This slide just presents the
overview of the study area, the Toad Revenue Corridor. Tour Revenue
Corridor is a local, low-volume local roadway, which primarily serves the
residential users, commercial users.
865
01:41:24.040 --> 01:41:38.710
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, the library… the access to the
town center lane, and it experienced decent pedestrian activity,
regarding the library use, town center, town center lane use, and
adjacent intersections for the Pacifica Drive and the Rodriguez.
866
01:41:40.810 --> 01:41:56.930
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): This slide shows the location of
the existing traffic calls, which were conducted on Torrevenue. We did,
7-day tube calls, tube counts to capture volume and speed, at these two
locations, this one and this one.
867
01:41:57.470 --> 01:42:09.420
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Where the car symbol is shown. And
we did, video calls, to capture the Palestinian bike data, at four
locations. These are the four locations.
868
01:42:09.420 --> 01:42:23.240
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): And the tube counts were done in
the week of November 17th, and the pedestrian bicycle cons were done on
Tuesday, November 18th, Wednesday, November 19th, and Saturday, November
22nd.
869
01:42:25.070 --> 01:42:42.540
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): This slide summarizes the existing
traffic counts on Tory Avenue. Based upon the data, there were about
1,200 cars traveling in the northbound direction on Tory Avenue, and the
observed 85th percentile speed was 23 miles per hour.
870
01:42:42.620 --> 01:42:46.960
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): And in the southbound direction,
there were about 1,400 vehicles, and the…
871
01:42:47.220 --> 01:42:49.670
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Percentile speed was 22 miles per
hour.
872
01:42:49.770 --> 01:42:54.540
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, both these counts are the
average of the 7-day cons.
873
01:42:55.300 --> 01:43:10.560
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Regarding the pedestrian data, the
pedestrian data was moderate. There were about 534 pedestrians crossing
the library driveway in the 16-hour span. That is from morning 6 AM to 10
p.m.
874
01:43:10.560 --> 01:43:26.520
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, there were about, at the
intersection of Door Avenue and Town Center Lane, there were about 320
vehicles crossing here, and, sorry, pedestrian crossing here, and 258
pedestrians crossing on the north leg of the intersection.
875
01:43:27.860 --> 01:43:41.149
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, between, Library Driveway and
Town Center Lane, there were about 200 people crossing Torrevenue, which
is basically the Jaywalkers. And all these counts are for 16-hour counts,
and they're the average of the 3-day counts.
876
01:43:41.350 --> 01:43:52.870
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): And regarding the bicycle data,
there were only 24 bicyclists passing through this intersection in the
16-hour span, and only 16 riders passing through this intersection in the
16-hour span.
877
01:43:57.460 --> 01:44:00.170
Quinlan Conference Room: This slide shows the speed distribution.
878
01:44:00.170 --> 01:44:02.059
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): On tour revenue.
879
01:44:02.580 --> 01:44:21.040
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): On this chart, the exact… on the x-
axis, it shows the speed range, range of the speed in miles per hour. On
y-axis, it shows the total number of vehicles recorded at a certain speed
range during the count period. So this chart is for the speed
distribution on Tory Avenue, north of Pacifica Drive.
880
01:44:21.040 --> 01:44:24.140
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): And you can clearly see the
majority of the vehicles
881
01:44:24.140 --> 01:44:40.880
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): were traveling in the speed range
of 25 miles per hour in both northbound and southbound direction, Ontario
Venue north of Pacifica Drive, and very few vehicles were traveling
within the speed range of 25 to 30 miles per hour, and very, very few
between 30 to 40 miles per hour.
882
01:44:41.050 --> 01:44:51.089
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, this speed chart is for, Count
Santori Venue, north of, Town Center Lane.
883
01:44:52.140 --> 01:45:06.139
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Based upon this chart, you can see
majority of the vehicles were, traveling in the speed range of 10 to 25
miles per hour, and very few between 25 to 30, and very, very few between
30 to 40.
884
01:45:06.150 --> 01:45:17.109
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): And the same data is presented in
the tabular format here below, and you can clearly see there were about
80 vehicles in the northbound direction, and 40 vehicles in the
southbound direction.
885
01:45:17.110 --> 01:45:28.099
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): were traveling between 25 to 30
miles per hour on Torrey Avenue, north of Pacifica Drive, and very few,
like, 4 vehicles were above 30, and 2 vehicles were above 30.
886
01:45:28.100 --> 01:45:47.190
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): on Tory Avenue north of Pacifica
Drive. And similarly, for the Toria Venue north of town centerline, there
were very… 49 vehicles in the northbound, and 67 vehicles in the
southbound, within the speed range of 25 to 30, and very minimal between
30 and 40. So, speeding…
887
01:45:47.190 --> 01:45:51.599
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Based upon the data which we
collected, there was not much speeding observed onto revenue.
888
01:45:52.060 --> 01:45:53.890
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Pretty much there's nothing wrong
with.
889
01:45:53.895 --> 01:45:58.924
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Could be going south? Where they
seem to be in a rush.
890
01:45:58.930 --> 01:46:11.690
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Southbound, I think, after the Tory
Avenue, they go towards the Pacifica Drive, so I think it's, like, a
more, like, a flat, like a straight row, a straight stretch, and not
much… that's what I feel.
891
01:46:12.290 --> 01:46:17.959
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Did you also look at the
intersection? Any study on the intersection at Toria and Pacifica?
892
01:46:17.960 --> 01:46:33.950
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): pedestrian counts, we are… we did
only ADT counts. We didn't do any turning movement counts at the… and
based upon this, it would be… as we said, the north… in the northbound
direction, there are only 1,200, so there… it's… and this is also 24
hours data, so even in the peak hour, it would be very less.
893
01:46:34.190 --> 01:46:37.310
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Based upon the ADT. But what's a…
894
01:46:37.550 --> 01:46:39.880
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): Actual official speed limit on that
is.
895
01:46:40.360 --> 01:46:41.560
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): The official definition.
896
01:46:41.560 --> 01:46:42.740
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): I might as well.
897
01:46:43.910 --> 01:46:47.570
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): The existing speed limit on tour
revenue is 25 miles per hour.
898
01:46:47.575 --> 01:46:51.655
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right, so your average is, you
know, 22, right? Yes, the 82%.
899
01:46:51.655 --> 01:46:54.505
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): speedy? Yeah.
900
01:46:54.505 --> 01:47:04.054
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): you know, we should focus on, you
know, people that are above 25. Like, you know, so how many people are
above 25 out of that, you know, what percentage of class?
901
01:47:04.055 --> 01:47:12.784
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): An 85th percentile of 22 is very
slow for a 25 mile nurse. Generally, you get 27, 28 months. Oh, perfect.
902
01:47:12.985 --> 01:47:13.795
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you.
903
01:47:13.795 --> 01:47:22.094
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Like, the guys on the 30 and 40
range, Their license should be taken.
904
01:47:22.095 --> 01:47:34.894
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): You know, propose some improvement
plan there. So, this slide shows the recorded collision, between year
2020 and 2025 on… near… on the Tory Way intersections.
905
01:47:34.895 --> 01:47:49.335
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): within the study area, which are
the Tour Avenue and Pacifica Drail, Tour Revenue and Town Center Lane,
Tory Avenue and Rodriguez Avenue. So, at the intersection of Tory Avenue
and Pacifica Rail, there were only 3 total collisions in last 5 years.
906
01:47:49.335 --> 01:48:06.914
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): out of which 2 were property damage
only, and one was injury collision. And at the intersection of Tory
Avenue and Town Center Lake, there were only 3 total collisions in the
last 5 years, which all of them were property damage only. And for the
intersection of Tory Avenue and Rodriguez, there were total 5
intersections.
907
01:48:06.915 --> 01:48:10.895
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): 4… out of which four were property
damage, and 1 was injury collision.
908
01:48:13.385 --> 01:48:30.884
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Regarding the proposed
improvements, this slide shows the proposed improvements at the
intersection of Torre Avenue and Rodriguez. So, staff is proposing to
refresh the existing payment sliping and traffic legions at the Torre
Avenue and Rodriguez intersection, because from the picture, you can
clearly see
909
01:48:30.885 --> 01:48:47.184
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Most of the intersection… most of
the striping and the traffic lesions are a little bit faded, and there
are cracks in the pavement. So, by refreshing the payment striping and
traffic lesion, it will include the clarity. We can… it will enhance the
intersection visibility, especially during the low-life conditions.
910
01:48:47.215 --> 01:49:05.424
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): And also, staff proposes to install
the red signpost reflectors at the stop signpost, so for the intersection
of Rodriguez Avenue, Tower Avenue, and also for the Library Drive and
Tour Avenue, and Pasada Drive and Tour Avenue. So by… from the picture
here, you can clearly see, if you install the red signpost reflectors.
911
01:49:05.435 --> 01:49:15.495
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): it will significantly improve the
visibility of the stop sign during… especially during the nighttime. So
it will be very… it will enhance the, visibility of the stop signs.
912
01:49:15.860 --> 01:49:19.759
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Do you have any of these in
Cupertino currently? We have a couple of intersections, yeah.
913
01:49:20.830 --> 01:49:24.780
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, Blaney… I remember Blaney and
Stellen.
914
01:49:25.210 --> 01:49:30.180
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): on that corridor, we have a couple
of places there. We have this kind of straightway. Yeah, a couple of
them, yeah.
915
01:49:31.640 --> 01:49:46.039
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, this slide shows the proposed
improvements at the intersection of Tory Avenue and Town Center Lane.
Staff is proposing to install plastic boards, the reflective plastic
bullets in front of the library book drop-off, to physically restrict U-
turn movements.
916
01:49:46.040 --> 01:49:56.230
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Which is a problem there. And, see,
if you install a bollard here at this location, so people who want to
make a U-turn, it will be very tough for them to make a U-turn.
917
01:49:56.260 --> 01:50:12.710
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): And, staff is also proposing to
install a reflective plastic bullet at the northwest corner of Torrey
Avenue and Town Center Lane to support a smoother turn and pedestrian
refuge… it will create a pedestrian refuge space also. So, if we install
a plastic bullard at this location, it will accommodate a smoother turn.
918
01:50:12.710 --> 01:50:18.329
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): For the vehicle turn, one who wants
to take a right turn from Tour Avenue onto Tour Center Lane.
919
01:50:18.330 --> 01:50:27.179
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): town center lane, and also this
will create a pedestrian refuge space. Yeah. So it will enhance the
pedestrian safety, and also terminating conflicts will be reduced.
920
01:50:27.710 --> 01:50:29.349
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): You're all the partners.
921
01:50:29.355 --> 01:50:36.835
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): spots next to the box, to the level
we turn… Keep watching. Keep watching.
922
01:50:36.835 --> 01:50:50.095
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): If we're missing, then we can add
another improvement, so no worries. And also, at the same intersection,
we also want to install a reflective plastic bullets at the southwest
corner, also.
923
01:50:50.095 --> 01:51:05.155
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): That will also, that will bring
this, that will accommodate smooth right turn from Town Center Lane onto
the Tory Avenue, and it will also create a pedestrian refuge space here.
And also, staff is, proposing to
924
01:51:05.155 --> 01:51:17.585
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): extend the red curve at the
southeast corner of Torrey Avenue and Toll Center Lane to improve the
visibility of pedestrian crossing Torrey Avenue. So, in this picture, you
can clearly see there is an existing red curve at this location.
925
01:51:17.585 --> 01:51:29.405
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): This is approximately about 12
feet, so we want to extend more 24 feet, which will result in losing this
parking spot, but it will enhance the pedestrian visibility at this
corner, especially for the southbound traffic.
926
01:51:29.415 --> 01:51:32.475
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'll, I'll… can you stay on this
for a second?
927
01:51:32.480 --> 01:51:44.150
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): To me, you know, of all the
improvements, this is the most important one, and I'll tell you why. I've
seen a lot of kids skating and, you know, and rollerblading and come full
speed down this.
928
01:51:44.250 --> 01:51:54.209
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): And there is a car parked here. If
it's an SUV, car coming in this direction has no visibility to know that
kid coming up. I've seen that many, many times.
929
01:51:54.270 --> 01:52:09.520
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right? My heart, you know, kind of
stops, you know, when I see that, right? Like, because this is just an
accident waiting to happen, right? Because library is, you know, full of
kids, and they just, you know, come rollerblading and, you know,
skateboarding and all that, and they do that, so…
930
01:52:09.520 --> 01:52:20.739
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): This is the… right? I'm happy, you
know, we are doing this, right? So, I'll go one step further, and if
there is a pedestrian start here and, you know, on that side, I would
say, you know, elevate.
931
01:52:20.820 --> 01:52:30.299
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): like, you know, almost like a speed
bomb. It's an elevated, you know, pedestrian crossing, so that way,
nobody's speeding through. All those people that we saw, you know, 30, 40
mile speed.
932
01:52:30.490 --> 01:52:31.620
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): That don't happen.
933
01:52:31.970 --> 01:52:34.550
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): elevate history, right? I was
thinking, you know.
934
01:52:34.720 --> 01:52:53.230
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Either that, or, you know, cut off
the through traffic, you know, both ends, because we saw a lot of people,
you know, jaywalking anyway, right? So this is… we can be, like, you
know, a walking corridor, so just cut off, you know, both ends, so that,
you know, no through traffic at all. That's a radical suggestion, just a
thought.
935
01:52:54.170 --> 01:52:55.090
Quinlan Conference Room: Thank you.
936
01:52:56.480 --> 01:53:15.559
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): But this slide just shows the same
improvements which we just discussed on a plan view. So, installing
plastic bullets at this location will restrict the U-turn at this
location, and also by installing plastic bullets at this location will
accommodate a smoother right turn.
937
01:53:15.560 --> 01:53:20.530
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): from Torre Avenue to the town
center lane, and also it will create a pedestrian refuge space.
938
01:53:20.540 --> 01:53:29.530
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): And also, same thing happening at
this corner, and also by installing the red car at this location will
improve the pedestrian visibility at this location.
939
01:53:30.300 --> 01:53:34.730
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Is there any striking you can do as
well on those pedestrian islands?
940
01:53:34.730 --> 01:53:36.789
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): more clear, because I think that's…
941
01:53:36.795 --> 01:53:51.015
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): a big part of the problem as well,
is that they're currently open zone, and I think the ballads are great,
but is there a way to also use initial paint or striping board to mark
those islands and as refuge islands to…
942
01:53:51.015 --> 01:53:52.025
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Like, Jeff.
943
01:53:52.025 --> 01:54:00.774
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Generally, the surface here is kind
of made a bit of a different brick surface. Yeah, you know, how much the
thermo…
944
01:54:00.775 --> 01:54:09.975
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Striping, there's a couple things.
One, the striping wouldn't really stick, and the pedestrian activity is a
little bit…
945
01:54:10.835 --> 01:54:21.274
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): There's no… especially on the west
side, it's a little diffused in terms of where the pedestrians are coming
from, so it's not like they're all channeled to one location across…
946
01:54:21.815 --> 01:54:30.124
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): And so it's… it's… providing the
crosswalk is challenging for those two… those two aspects, so…
947
01:54:30.130 --> 01:54:32.570
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): just a crosswalk. I just meant…
948
01:54:32.740 --> 01:54:35.350
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Go back to the previous slide here,
phenomenal.
949
01:54:37.020 --> 01:54:49.269
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I meant to mark those areas
specifically, those two areas. Those are the traffic buttons. Mark them
somehow so the pedestrians know this is a safe place to be. Oh, to
stripe, yeah. The area within the bar, so…
950
01:54:49.450 --> 01:54:51.969
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): This is essentially your area.
951
01:54:51.975 --> 01:54:54.975
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): the same boarding space. You're
safe? Yeah.
952
01:54:54.975 --> 01:54:57.935
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, we can, we can see what…
953
01:54:57.935 --> 01:54:58.985
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): forward to me, this is.
954
01:54:58.985 --> 01:55:00.635
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): specifically at the front.
955
01:55:01.105 --> 01:55:06.205
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Is there a part… I mean, last time
we discussed about removing that, drop-off
956
01:55:06.925 --> 01:55:09.974
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Library book drop-off, how much it's
getting used?
957
01:55:09.980 --> 01:55:11.029
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Oh, shit.
958
01:55:11.230 --> 01:55:12.090
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, that I…
959
01:55:12.095 --> 01:55:17.245
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): I don't have that information. It
might be challenging to remove it.
960
01:55:17.525 --> 01:55:22.985
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): But I, I just put it in, yeah, 5
years ago. So, so I…
961
01:55:23.450 --> 01:55:26.399
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): In fact, there's a way we can
elevate
962
01:55:26.680 --> 01:55:31.689
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): this and this, making it like a
speed bomb. Yeah, we probably wouldn't…
963
01:55:32.810 --> 01:55:40.040
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): recommend that at this time. Just
because, you know, there really isn't a speeding problem.
964
01:55:40.430 --> 01:55:50.070
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): And there are other streets,
honestly, where there's greater speeding that, you know, because people
are really, you know, 22 miles an hour, and that's pretty consistent. No,
that's the average.
965
01:55:50.075 --> 01:55:51.575
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Well, that's 85th percentile.
966
01:55:51.575 --> 01:55:59.835
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, so 65% of people are going
under 20, which is, again, that's really slow for an industry.
967
01:55:59.835 --> 01:56:10.795
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): problems. You don't quite know where
the road traffic starts and where the pedestrian safety areas, and I
think those ballots would help, make this a little bit more explicit. We
can't have the…
968
01:56:10.820 --> 01:56:27.850
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, on this, we have… you see
this, the one where I'm pointing? Here are kind of the in-street signs.
It says that yield to the pedestrians, which kind of helps to slow down
the traffic at this intersection, and they're kind of very helpful. They
really slow down. Yeah.
969
01:56:27.850 --> 01:56:31.950
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): We also have, like, the speed…
970
01:56:32.910 --> 01:56:34.910
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): Muted. Muted, yeah.
971
01:56:34.910 --> 01:56:40.320
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, let's look at the data. There's
no speed problem.
972
01:56:40.325 --> 01:56:40.905
Speaker 3 (Quinlan Conference Room): No, I saw that.
973
01:56:40.905 --> 01:56:48.385
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): there's some numbers about 30, 40.
I work, right?
974
01:56:48.385 --> 01:56:49.145
Speaker 6 (Quinlan Conference Room): Every, every…
975
01:56:49.890 --> 01:56:51.020
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): I'll answer in the next slide.
976
01:56:51.020 --> 01:57:07.239
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): This is what I wanted to say
regarding speeding. Okay, yeah. So, we want to deploy a speed trailer,
which will be a… this will be a temporary one, on tour revenue for one or
two weeks, just displaying how much fast they are going, and after that,
maybe we can coordinate with the sheriff
977
01:57:07.240 --> 01:57:16.439
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): office to request targeting speed
enforcement, so who are now speeding, they have to pay for it. Like, we
can request, we always request near the school areas.
978
01:57:16.440 --> 01:57:19.919
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, there will be a motorcycle
sheriff.
979
01:57:19.925 --> 01:57:35.124
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): this helps, because not a temporary
one, I'm talking about a permanent one, because in this day and age, you
know, with the LP cars and all that, you don't even realize how fast
you're going until you see it. That thing flashing on your face, you're
like, you know, damn it, I need to slow down.
980
01:57:35.675 --> 01:57:42.275
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): So this is one of the, improvements
to tackle the speed for that low… low… low people who are speeding there.
981
01:57:43.095 --> 01:57:59.065
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): And this slide shows the proposed
improvement at the intersection of Torrey Avenue and Pacifica Drive. Our
staff is proposing to install a rapid rectangular flashing beacon at the
intersection of Torre Avenue and Pacifica Drive, crossing the Pacifica
Drive.
982
01:57:59.555 --> 01:58:00.295
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): and they're pressing.
983
01:58:00.300 --> 01:58:05.530
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): a button that flashes, right? So,
the working flashes are just those two small lights.
984
01:58:05.535 --> 01:58:10.794
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): If you see the whole, the two small
lines. The two small lines.
985
01:58:10.795 --> 01:58:13.055
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): like, you know, disrupting the
flash.
986
01:58:13.055 --> 01:58:15.585
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Look at that. Okay, regardless, I…
987
01:58:15.590 --> 01:58:23.509
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): We have this, you know, where I
live, and, you know, that's helpful, but it could be a lot more helpful
knowing this worldly flash. Thank you, Buni, yeah, I agree.
988
01:58:23.515 --> 01:58:24.275
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): that, yeah.
989
01:58:24.275 --> 01:58:25.035
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): the same, same thing.
990
01:58:25.770 --> 01:58:26.529
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): maybe? Yeah.
991
01:58:26.535 --> 01:58:27.275
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): the Rebecca.
992
01:58:27.280 --> 01:58:34.010
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): and throughout the whole city,
that's, yeah, yeah. Future… future version should be improved, in a
sense.
993
01:58:34.015 --> 01:58:34.864
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): They can also.
994
01:58:34.870 --> 01:58:38.559
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): How are the lights across on the
pedestrian proximity?
995
01:58:38.810 --> 01:58:40.010
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Is it too much?
996
01:58:40.015 --> 01:58:43.345
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): floor. On the floor. On the ground,
etc. I think, you know.
997
01:58:43.345 --> 01:58:47.585
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, we don't do those anymore.
998
01:58:47.800 --> 01:58:55.839
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): catches their eye. Go down to your
face, and they're like, you know, I got a song, right? This small thing
gets unnoticed sometimes. This is a good idea.
999
01:58:55.845 --> 01:59:03.545
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): The in-pavement lights are very
expensive, and they're unreliable. Okay. Can we look at lighting at
night? Oh, yeah. Nice.
1000
01:59:03.715 --> 01:59:04.565
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Both.
1001
01:59:04.570 --> 01:59:17.209
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): The staff also proposes to evaluate
the feasibility of installing a street light at the northeast corner of
Tour Avenue and Town Center. So, we'll be evaluating the feasibility of
installing a streetlight at this location.
1002
01:59:17.210 --> 01:59:27.389
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): which will increase the nighttime
visibility at this intersection, but it's still… we have to look into it
and see the funds available and all those things to make a final call.
1003
01:59:27.395 --> 01:59:30.295
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): I would rather have this ledge here
on this side.
1004
01:59:30.295 --> 01:59:37.954
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): because of this side, you have the
trees, and it's much more… it's darker on this side, and it's hard to see
people. Here, it's pretty open, and you.
1005
01:59:37.960 --> 01:59:40.049
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): I don't have any trees hiding in
the.
1006
01:59:40.055 --> 01:59:44.534
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): in shape, but on this side, you see,
you can see them here, the other trees and stuff, so I'd rather.
1007
01:59:44.535 --> 01:59:47.534
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think we have one sitting in the
room.
1008
01:59:47.535 --> 01:59:54.144
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, there's already one… Maybe in
this one, it will show. See, this is…
1009
01:59:54.315 --> 02:00:00.005
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think this is the streetlight.
It's a street light, the one with the sign which is there, it is already
a street light.
1010
02:00:02.220 --> 02:00:05.699
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Maybe needs to be brighter. Look at
it.
1011
02:00:05.705 --> 02:00:13.184
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): These are good improvements, this
is what I mean by, you know, with small investments, you know, we can
make a huge difference.
1012
02:00:13.185 --> 02:00:24.435
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): This kind of… most of the
improvements are quick-build and cost-effective and easy to implement, so
this will enhance the pedestrian safety, reduce the turning conflicts,
and increase the driver awareness, so…
1013
02:00:24.645 --> 02:00:26.264
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): This movie changes the behavior.
1014
02:00:26.265 --> 02:00:32.814
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): The people that drive, they see
this, you know, they're like, now, okay, I need to stop. I need to store
down, right?
1015
02:00:32.820 --> 02:00:39.249
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, so is there any proposal for
the others behind the labor that is on the…
1016
02:00:39.880 --> 02:00:41.970
Quinlan Conference Room: There's a pedestrian walkway, where they'll…
1017
02:00:43.170 --> 02:00:48.159
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Which one? People exit and enter the
library. Yeah. Here.
1018
02:00:48.165 --> 02:00:58.524
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Mostly, we'll be installing that
red reflector on the stop sign. There is a stop sign at this location,
especially this location, so we'll be installing that red reflector
1019
02:00:58.885 --> 02:01:00.394
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): I also wonder…
1020
02:01:05.975 --> 02:01:16.495
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): On the post. Yeah, on the post,
yeah. So we'll be installing this kind of red reflector on the signpost.
And even we'll do it on for the Pacifica Drive and, Toria venue also, at
the situation.
1021
02:01:16.810 --> 02:01:21.749
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Because people do left turn, or who
are going southbound.
1022
02:01:22.150 --> 02:01:28.299
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): into the library, where they don't
necessarily see the people crossing. And similarly, on the…
1023
02:01:28.410 --> 02:01:37.640
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): other direction as well, where they
are making a right turn and they don't see the people crossing.
Especially in the nighttime, the visibility is poor, and people don't
necessarily wear the right gloves.
1024
02:01:39.050 --> 02:01:45.630
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, there are enough red carb
markings around the librarian drive, so the kind of visibility looks
1025
02:01:45.780 --> 02:01:51.140
Speaker 14 (Quinlan Conference Room): better, lot better, compared to the
other locations, so we didn't do anything much.
1026
02:01:51.140 --> 02:01:53.960
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Visibility of the streetlights,
okay.
1027
02:01:54.700 --> 02:02:02.300
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So we had already used time to ask
for clarifying questions. Wanted to just quickly check in if there's any
public comments on this topic as well.
1028
02:02:03.150 --> 02:02:10.870
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): We have no speakers, Chair.
Wonderful, thank you. Any further discussion from the Commission, or any
fees that anyone.
1029
02:02:10.875 --> 02:02:13.104
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): on this. Yeah, I don't believe so.
1030
02:02:13.110 --> 02:02:17.610
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, do you want to make any
specific… because we had multiple suggestions, right? So…
1031
02:02:18.310 --> 02:02:23.340
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): If you want to make a motion to, I
don't know, approve the staff if it approves…
1032
02:02:23.345 --> 02:02:34.544
Speaker 4 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, yeah, with additional
improvements that we suggested right now, right? So, I think it's good to
have the document. Maybe just make a… let's make a motion.
1033
02:02:34.545 --> 02:02:36.854
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): fully documented as well, I think
that's a good idea.
1034
02:02:37.760 --> 02:02:40.839
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's so… I move to approve to…
1035
02:02:41.750 --> 02:02:48.539
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): the, proposed improvements to the
Torrey Avenue Town Center Lane pedestrian crossing.
1036
02:02:53.610 --> 02:02:54.260
Quinlan Conference Room: Excellent.
1037
02:02:56.510 --> 02:02:58.790
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I don't know if they're subjecting.
1038
02:02:59.710 --> 02:03:00.540
Quinlan Conference Room: Thank you for that.
1039
02:03:01.240 --> 02:03:01.960
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Including women.
1040
02:03:05.530 --> 02:03:07.499
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): With following recommendations?
With the following.
1041
02:03:07.505 --> 02:03:11.004
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Additions, with the following
recommendations.
1042
02:03:16.465 --> 02:03:25.215
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): The one I proposed was the,
additional marking on… ground floor marking, within the bollards.
1043
02:03:25.555 --> 02:03:29.404
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): within the goal, it's on the… I
think this is the west side, I guess.
1044
02:03:30.440 --> 02:03:32.420
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): In the pedestrian refugeland. In
the, yeah, exactly.
1045
02:03:32.425 --> 02:03:38.524
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): So, yeah, additional, floor strip
being on the desk members. Yeah.
1046
02:03:40.485 --> 02:03:41.725
Quinlan Conference Room: Any other…
1047
02:03:41.725 --> 02:03:45.745
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): recommendations that we should be on
here? Yeah, yeah.
1048
02:03:45.750 --> 02:03:48.470
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): The flashiness, we want that to be
a full…
1049
02:03:49.980 --> 02:03:52.750
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): the RFS, I think that's what…
1050
02:03:52.755 --> 02:03:55.935
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Our speed, our speed.
1051
02:03:59.340 --> 02:04:04.939
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Should be, lighting the full… the
full sign, rather than just a small…
1052
02:04:05.470 --> 02:04:09.309
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): You, is there a terminology for
that? Yeah.
1053
02:04:09.315 --> 02:04:12.825
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Illuminated pedestrian crossing
sign.
1054
02:04:13.025 --> 02:04:18.445
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Consider illuminated pedestrian
crossing off lines to supplement our RFPs.
1055
02:04:23.415 --> 02:04:24.675
Quinlan Conference Room: the moment.
1056
02:04:25.405 --> 02:04:26.485
Quinlan Conference Room: That's true.
1057
02:04:34.085 --> 02:04:39.155
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): I say consider, because there are
costs to all these, so I just have to make sure.
1058
02:04:39.275 --> 02:04:40.515
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Budgets allow.
1059
02:04:46.460 --> 02:04:53.079
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): We're not asking for a race table,
so… Well, you were, but…
1060
02:04:56.450 --> 02:04:59.900
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Doesn't solve a problem, to be fair,
then… Anything else?
1061
02:05:00.680 --> 02:05:02.610
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): You know, Commissioner Marzi.
1062
02:05:02.960 --> 02:05:04.250
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Did you have lost?
1063
02:05:04.450 --> 02:05:06.419
Speaker 5 (Quinlan Conference Room): Preference for the location of that
light?
1064
02:05:06.425 --> 02:05:07.165
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Right.
1065
02:05:07.170 --> 02:05:07.920
Speaker 10 (Quinlan Conference Room): I checked on.
1066
02:05:07.925 --> 02:05:08.664
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, so not perman.
1067
02:05:08.670 --> 02:05:14.500
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): and there is already a poll there.
It's just, it's not the same poll, the same feature you had, so…
1068
02:05:14.505 --> 02:05:14.955
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Well.
1069
02:05:14.960 --> 02:05:21.440
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, it'll… the picture's just
diagram. Oh, yeah. It'll be a full streetlight.
1070
02:05:21.445 --> 02:05:23.315
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): like the one that exists already.
Right.
1071
02:05:23.320 --> 02:05:30.629
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): We'll make sure the other one is
lighting properly. If it's… if there's a dark spot or whatever, we'll
address it. Okay, and I think, yeah, to.
1072
02:05:30.630 --> 02:05:33.910
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): to Pastor's point, I think we moved
the car in front of the…
1073
02:05:34.070 --> 02:05:39.780
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): crossing is gonna help. Okay, yeah.
Way more than changing the light here. Okay, good.
1074
02:05:41.210 --> 02:05:41.740
Speaker 11 (Quinlan Conference Room): Nope.
1075
02:05:42.630 --> 02:05:45.490
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): All right, we have a motion, we have
a second, let's do a vote.
1076
02:05:46.270 --> 02:05:48.439
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Okay, for the motion on the screen.
1077
02:05:48.870 --> 02:05:57.729
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Chair Schelbeck, how do you… Yes.
Chair, Vice Chair Maripatla? Yes. Commissioner Ganga? Yes. Commissioner
Marcy? Yes. Commissioner Wolf? Yes. Motion passes unanimously.
1078
02:05:58.280 --> 02:06:02.409
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): Good job. I'm just moving on to our…
1079
02:06:03.150 --> 02:06:09.940
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Next item, number 4, is our staff
update and commission activity report. Do we have anything to…
1080
02:06:09.940 --> 02:06:15.150
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): I, I don't. Nothing for me tonight.
From commissioners? Vta.
1081
02:06:15.155 --> 02:06:15.645
Speaker 9 (Quinlan Conference Room): feedback.
1082
02:06:15.650 --> 02:06:17.920
Speaker 7 (Quinlan Conference Room): Nothing concerning opportunities.
1083
02:06:20.190 --> 02:06:21.200
Quinlan Conference Room: Okay.
1084
02:06:22.060 --> 02:06:33.000
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): That's it. We are on the future
agenda setting, looking at the clock. We can either do it tonight, or we
can postpone this tonight for next time. I mean, that's probably not
much.
1085
02:06:33.005 --> 02:06:35.304
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): I've got a pretty full list. Yeah,
that's it, gotcha.
1086
02:06:35.305 --> 02:06:36.915
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): They need to make a decision.
1087
02:06:36.920 --> 02:06:37.520
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): to,
1088
02:06:37.525 --> 02:06:42.885
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I need a motion and a second for
that to postpone the silence.
1089
02:06:43.135 --> 02:06:48.744
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I move to approve that we move this
one to next agenda… to next meeting.
1090
02:06:49.420 --> 02:06:51.059
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Mark and second. Yeah.
1091
02:06:51.240 --> 02:06:52.349
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Don't ring it.
1092
02:06:52.540 --> 02:06:53.650
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): A vote of them.
1093
02:06:58.690 --> 02:07:03.270
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): The future agenda? The future agenda
items, yeah, let me… we cover this on the next…
1094
02:07:04.200 --> 02:07:08.040
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Which is what we covered anyway.
We'll cover it anyway, yeah. We'll cover it anyway.
1095
02:07:09.660 --> 02:07:11.609
Speaker 1 (Quinlan Conference Room): I don't know if you need a motion.
Do y'all need a motion?
1096
02:07:11.610 --> 02:07:13.119
Speaker 13 (Quinlan Conference Room): Yeah, they were.
1097
02:07:13.125 --> 02:07:17.155
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): I think we're good. And let's keep
that formality. So that really is,
1098
02:07:17.415 --> 02:07:24.655
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Giving me to getting to our next
point. Our next meeting is March 18th. We'll be here in Finland Center as
well.
1099
02:07:24.775 --> 02:07:37.854
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): And I want to take the opportunity
to thank all the members of staff for supporting us tonight. Great job,
as always. And I want to adjourn this meeting and… Thank you for stopping
that. All right.
1100
02:07:38.265 --> 02:07:41.104
Speaker 2 (Quinlan Conference Room): Thank you, thank you. The
discussions and everything.
1101
02:07:46.150 --> 02:07:47.660
Quinlan Conference Room: It was possible to do that.
