15
00:01:29.670 --> 00:01:48.899

anybody has any topics that they wanted to bring up tonight.
31
00:03:31.260 --> 00:03:39.240
Quinlan Conf Room: that are not on the agenda. This is the opportunity,
and it's limited to 3 min per speaker. Do we have any
32
00:03:39.580 --> 00:03:44.949
Quinlan Conf Room: All communication… feedback in this discussion, either

Quinlan Conf Room: Yes, we have one speaker here.
34
00:03:51.590 --> 00:03:53.899
Quinlan Conf Room: Let me share my screen.
35
00:03:56.170 --> 00:04:04.039
Quinlan Conf Room: We usually use this blue form. You can fill it out
afterwards as well. It's not important, but just for the record.
36
00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:11.450
Quinlan Conf Room: information here. But please come, come forward. And
yeah, yeah. So
37
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:22.180
Quinlan Conf Room: I missed the last month's meeting, and two months ago,
we presented some issues of many potential dangers on the
38
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:25.680
Quinlan Conf Room: Dangerous on the prospect road and wire.
39
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:27.450
Quinlan Conf Room: By a wrongful.
40
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:35.339
Quinlan Conf Room: and I don't know what's the decision. If you guys
discussed about that last month Commission meeting.
41
00:04:35.530 --> 00:04:48.419
Quinlan Conf Room: So, adding about adding crosswalk and also other
signals to the perspective. So, any… I just want to follow up. Any… Yeah,
decisions? Thank you for your follow-up. So, we have, recorded your…
42
00:04:48.420 --> 00:05:00.779
Quinlan Conf Room: feedback your inquiry in our future agenda meeting
setting items, and we pick from the list every meeting, so this is one of
the items that will come up in one of the four items there. We didn't
have a meeting in June, by the way, so we…
43
00:05:00.830 --> 00:05:09.949
Quinlan Conf Room: Oh, so there was no meeting in June. This is the the
next meeting, so to say, after your presentation. I see so. But
44
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:13.940
Quinlan Conf Room: Putting that in the future means, as we discussed
about that.
45
00:05:14.130 --> 00:05:25.060
Quinlan Conf Room: And then, after a few years, or after? No, no, no,
it's not probably a few years. Yeah, yeah, so I'll have to know about it.
We will try to be as possible, as soon as possible, as soon as it fits
the agenda. I cannot give you a
46
00:05:25.400 --> 00:05:28.309
Quinlan Conf Room: So, because right now, many…
47
00:05:28.620 --> 00:05:40.460
Quinlan Conf Room: bikers and going across the street, which is very
dangerous. And I think it's very important to take action. We can take it
seriously. Yeah, so…
48
00:05:40.850 --> 00:05:54.979
Quinlan Conf Room: Well, I want to follow up. What's the action items on
that? Yeah, as I said, we have it on the future agenda item setting list,
and we will pick from that list for next future meetings, and then that
will be handled.
49
00:05:55.330 --> 00:06:03.930
Quinlan Conf Room: able to sign up for notifications as well from the
city when you, when my trip commission meetings are happening, so that
you'll be
50
00:06:04.050 --> 00:06:10.300
Quinlan Conf Room: So how many items are ahead of that? Like, today we
have 3 items, for example.
51
00:06:10.520 --> 00:06:18.839
Quinlan Conf Room: And before that, I cannot tell you that, as I told
you, and I will inform you once the meeting is scheduled.
52
00:06:19.510 --> 00:06:23.469
Quinlan Conf Room: I just try to have a sense how long it will take.
53
00:06:24.070 --> 00:06:29.529
Quinlan Conf Room: a few months, or a few years, right? So, I cannot tell
you, but it's not gonna be a few years.
54
00:06:29.830 --> 00:06:31.320
Quinlan Conf Room: You mean within this year?
55
00:06:33.200 --> 00:06:40.740
Quinlan Conf Room: let's move on. I think we we covered this extensively
now. So let's take the next item on the agenda. Thank you very much for
your
56
00:06:44.590 --> 00:06:50.819
Quinlan Conf Room: So we have, any other oral communication? We have no
speakers.
57
00:06:51.440 --> 00:06:52.799
Quinlan Conf Room: No, thank you.
58
00:06:54.270 --> 00:06:57.020
Quinlan Conf Room: Then that takes us to our…
59
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:03.070
Quinlan Conf Room: Next item on the agenda, which is the Cupertino Active
Transportation Plan.
60
00:07:03.290 --> 00:07:08.919
Quinlan Conf Room: We have… in presentation, but positive.
61
00:07:09.930 --> 00:07:11.090
Quinlan Conf Room: at, I believe.
62
00:07:12.030 --> 00:07:13.810
Quinlan Conf Room: Stop it. Yes.
63
00:07:15.370 --> 00:07:16.739
Quinlan Conf Room: Plug them in.
64
00:07:20.250 --> 00:07:24.120
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay. And then… share…
65
00:07:25.200 --> 00:07:36.110
Quinlan Conf Room: All right. So good evening, Bicycle Passenger
Commission. My name is Matt Schrader, Senior Transportation Planner. I'll
be providing an update on the ATP and where we're at in the process.
66
00:07:36.790 --> 00:07:41.509
Quinlan Conf Room: So, the last time we were before BPC was in February,
where…
67
00:07:42.110 --> 00:07:49.640
Quinlan Conf Room: Mission provided recommendations related to the
project prioritization criteria, specifically the project list.
68
00:07:50.380 --> 00:08:03.220
Quinlan Conf Room: Those recommendations were that the safety scoring
seemed to be overweighted, and that the vision 0 scoring should be
increased, which is consistent with what we heard or sorry planning
commission.
69
00:08:04.870 --> 00:08:14.190
Quinlan Conf Room: And then in April, we took those recommendations to
the City Council, along with all the Phase 2 materials that were reviewed
by the 2 bodies.
70
00:08:14.370 --> 00:08:18.899
Quinlan Conf Room: We also presented to the City Council, two scenarios.
71
00:08:19.010 --> 00:08:32.390
Quinlan Conf Room: we showed them, alright, here's the project list as
is, and then here's what would happen to the projects if we implemented
those recommended changes. So the projects that relied more heavily on
the safety scoring naturally fell lower, or the school scoring, rather.
72
00:08:32.390 --> 00:08:40.500
Quinlan Conf Room: Felt lower, but the projects that were, you know, more
dependent on the Vision Zero scoring, those increased, and the projects
that
73
00:08:40.549 --> 00:08:46.330
Quinlan Conf Room: We're both a suggested route to school, and also on
the high injury network, those remain relatively flat.
74
00:08:46.650 --> 00:08:55.529
Quinlan Conf Room: So after hearing that, the Council then directed staff
to re-score the projects with the Commission-recommended adjustment,
which is what we did.
75
00:08:56.470 --> 00:09:11.470
Quinlan Conf Room: So we rescored the projects and compiled the updated
projects list, which is what is in the active transportation plans. We
also compiled all the elements that have been developed in phases, one
phases, 2.
76
00:09:11.470 --> 00:09:23.109
Quinlan Conf Room: and reviewed by both the Planning Commission, City
Council, and BPC, and what's in the document really reflects the
direction that the City Council has provided over the course of the
project.
77
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:37.309
Quinlan Conf Room: So, once we had that, we then released the document
for a 30-day public review period. And many of the comments that we
received were pretty similar in tone from what we heard in phases 1 and
2.
78
00:09:37.310 --> 00:09:46.959
Quinlan Conf Room: There were comments about requests to close specific
sidewalk gap closures. There were things that were just outside of the
scope of the ETP, like…
79
00:09:47.040 --> 00:09:50.090
Quinlan Conf Room: acquiring railroad right away.
80
00:09:50.220 --> 00:09:57.710
Quinlan Conf Room: There were also minor style comments, so changes to
map symbology, or using different images in certain places.
81
00:09:57.720 --> 00:10:10.959
Quinlan Conf Room: But the one, like, substantive change that we did make
is we added language in Chapter 1 to emphasize the importance of e-bike
and electric micromobility safety, specifically for students.
82
00:10:11.040 --> 00:10:28.589
Quinlan Conf Room: Previously, that was something that was included as a
programmatic recommendation in Chapter 6, but given the community's
strong interest and desire to really do something about this issue, we
felt it needed to be brought forward into the top of the plan, which is
what we did in adding that language.
83
00:10:30.630 --> 00:10:42.380
Quinlan Conf Room: So we went to the Planning Commission last night, and
the Planning Commission passed 2 motions, the 1st of which was a motion
recommending that the Atp add
84
00:10:42.890 --> 00:10:55.060
Quinlan Conf Room: or make a… modify the ATP so that there is language in
there that addresses how certain projects might potentially impact
evacuation routes, particularly in
85
00:10:55.080 --> 00:11:02.619
Quinlan Conf Room: high fire hazard zones. And that's something that,
after discussing internally, that we're definitely gonna
86
00:11:02.620 --> 00:11:18.250
Quinlan Conf Room: begin developing and bring to council when this plan
is then considered for adoption in September. So after that initial
motion, they also then passed the motion, adopting the resolution to
recommend that the city council adopt the ATP.
87
00:11:18.390 --> 00:11:28.049
Quinlan Conf Room: So those were the actions that passed at the Planning
Commission meeting. There were also other motions that weren't passed
related to the removal of specific projects.
88
00:11:28.160 --> 00:11:31.119
Quinlan Conf Room: But these are the two motions that passed.
89
00:11:32.770 --> 00:11:40.570
Quinlan Conf Room: So, the next step is, after review from this body, we
will be going to the City Council for adoption consideration in
September.
90
00:11:43.500 --> 00:11:44.270
Quinlan Conf Room: Thank you.
91
00:11:44.760 --> 00:11:57.940
Quinlan Conf Room: Thank you, Matt, and we're looking for a
recommendation from the Commission that the Council adopted. Yes, yes, I
think tonight is kind of the final opportunity to provide kind of
guidance.
92
00:11:58.380 --> 00:12:04.440
Quinlan Conf Room: I think the feedback from the planning commission last
night was super helpful. Thank you. This year.
93
00:12:05.970 --> 00:12:07.510
Quinlan Conf Room: I'll come from last night.
94
00:12:08.030 --> 00:12:13.350
Quinlan Conf Room: That's the 1st day clarifying questions and comments
from the Commission.
95
00:12:13.580 --> 00:12:16.280
Quinlan Conf Room: Everybody has a… Questions?
96
00:12:18.970 --> 00:12:20.060
Quinlan Conf Room: Nope.
97
00:12:20.890 --> 00:12:29.219
Quinlan Conf Room: On the document. On the presentation, yeah. On the
document. Yeah, yeah. So on the document, I went through that. That's the
82-page document.
98
00:12:29.820 --> 00:12:31.089
Quinlan Conf Room: Oh, yeah, actually.
99
00:12:31.340 --> 00:12:34.589
Quinlan Conf Room: 22, if you can pull up.
100
00:12:36.860 --> 00:12:39.029
Quinlan Conf Room: Did you mind keeping that on the…
101
00:12:39.420 --> 00:12:41.690
Quinlan Conf Room: Positive. Yeah.
102
00:13:19.640 --> 00:13:21.739
Quinlan Conf Room: Page 22. Yeah, 2, 2.
103
00:13:33.680 --> 00:13:36.089
Quinlan Conf Room: Oh, why is this not sharing?
104
00:13:36.210 --> 00:13:37.360
Quinlan Conf Room: See you on the go.
105
00:13:37.830 --> 00:13:40.980
Quinlan Conf Room: Pardon? Do you want me to Yeah, it's opened.
106
00:13:46.260 --> 00:13:49.350
Quinlan Conf Room: Want to stop sharing, Trish, and begin. Yeah.
107
00:13:51.230 --> 00:13:54.120
Quinlan Conf Room: You can also open it back from Prashant's computer.
108
00:13:54.620 --> 00:13:55.500
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay.
109
00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:12.910
Quinlan Conf Room: Maybe I can begin answering the question. Yeah. So the
110
00:14:13.550 --> 00:14:24.889
Quinlan Conf Room: I saw the bubbles, right? Like, you know, in terms of
how many passengers are, you know, boarding in disembarkable transit bus
stations, bus stops, right? So…
111
00:14:25.540 --> 00:14:29.729
Quinlan Conf Room: Steel Street and De Anza Boulevard, as well as, you
know, Sterling
112
00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:45.089
Quinlan Conf Room: more than 200 people per day seems like a stretch,
because I pass by those junctions all the time. Yeah. And I barely see
anyone, right? So I'm kind of wondering, you know, what's the basis for
that, you know?
113
00:14:45.700 --> 00:15:02.730
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, so this data comes directly from VTA's open data
portal, where they collect boardings and alightings, so they have a
little sensor that detects when a passenger is on board and when one
comes off. So, this is data that comes directly from VTA. We didn't do
it.
114
00:15:03.390 --> 00:15:05.170
Quinlan Conf Room: Give us a while. Okay.
115
00:15:08.890 --> 00:15:15.600
Quinlan Conf Room: So, on page 38, you know, the preempt is that,
fighting, like, you know, the stress level 4, right?
116
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:31.250
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, and you may be referencing the initial draft
document. We've since made some changes. The pagination's a little off.
Oh, is that it? Yeah, so those pages are still in here. I looked at the
one that was in the agenda. I downloaded the document.
117
00:15:31.280 --> 00:15:33.880
Quinlan Conf Room: So that's part of the entire thing. Okay.
118
00:15:34.210 --> 00:15:42.949
Quinlan Conf Room: Page 36. Yeah, okay, that's a bicycle level of
service. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
119
00:15:43.690 --> 00:15:52.620
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, yeah, so, so, so one thing that I find here,
again, so how was this?
120
00:15:52.800 --> 00:15:56.679
Quinlan Conf Room: data collected, the BLTS, you know.
121
00:15:56.750 --> 00:16:14.000
Quinlan Conf Room: So this, was done during our existing conditions
phase. So this is calculated by looking at, the width of the roadway, the
presence of certain types of infrastructure, whether or not a bikeway
exists, speed limits, just what's out in the field, and then
122
00:16:14.140 --> 00:16:19.539
Quinlan Conf Room: In the appendix, there's supporting documentation that
explains the methodology.
123
00:16:20.790 --> 00:16:21.660
Quinlan Conf Room: So.
124
00:16:21.800 --> 00:16:30.800
Quinlan Conf Room: I bike a lot, right? So, and in our city, and I'll
tell you, you know, the most stressful places to bike is, you know.
125
00:16:31.300 --> 00:16:38.699
Quinlan Conf Room: entrance and exit to the shopping complexes. What
happens is, you know, these cars, they're sticking out into the bike
lane.
126
00:16:38.860 --> 00:16:39.710
Quinlan Conf Room: Right?
127
00:16:39.810 --> 00:16:47.889
Quinlan Conf Room: the front of the car, they're completely blocking it,
especially, you know, near my house, the Dionzan, the McClellan Ranch.
128
00:16:47.910 --> 00:17:06.469
Quinlan Conf Room: shopping complex on both sides, right? On the De Anza
side as well as the McLaren side. The cars invariably, you know, they
come out and stick out and, you know, and block the bike lane. And if
you're on McLaren, good luck going around it, because you are… there is a
bike lane. Yeah. Right? I invariably, you know, yell and scream at those,
cars.
129
00:17:06.470 --> 00:17:18.890
Quinlan Conf Room: Right? So, I don't know if there is anything that we
can do about it, in terms of, you know, cars not coming and blocking the
bike lane, right? And especially, you know, if you have a separated bike
lane, where you are trapped, you can't even go around.
130
00:17:19.109 --> 00:17:34.069
Quinlan Conf Room: So, I find that, you know, you know, very, very
challenging, because you are coming at a good speed, like, you know, 15-
20 mile speed, and you have to… and then you have to come to your
grinding halt, because somebody, you know, stuck their car into the bike
lane.
131
00:17:35.260 --> 00:17:44.389
Quinlan Conf Room: So, as a biker, I would avoid, you know, these… these
main roads where there are shopping complexes, you know, cars are
entering and exiting.
132
00:17:45.330 --> 00:17:52.680
Quinlan Conf Room: and and putting concrete barrier roads on those in
those areas complicates things 100 times.
133
00:17:53.270 --> 00:17:59.819
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, and that granularity wouldn't be captured in
this map, because we're looking at the entire roadway segment, so…
134
00:18:00.550 --> 00:18:09.179
Quinlan Conf Room: We just don't look at the driveway approaches. When
we're developing this. So can you go to
135
00:18:09.950 --> 00:18:12.149
Quinlan Conf Room: Let's see. Page 43.
136
00:18:18.010 --> 00:18:21.200
Quinlan Conf Room: So this one you're showing, you know.
137
00:18:21.370 --> 00:18:29.069
Quinlan Conf Room: high bike potential areas, right? Like, you know, the…
the solid green is the high bike potential, right? So… so…
138
00:18:29.090 --> 00:18:44.589
Quinlan Conf Room: what makes us think, you know, that there is a high
biking potential in those areas, that solid green area? Yeah, so what
Alta did when they developed this as part of, again, the existing,
network, or no, sorry, this was the needs of sound. Needs…
139
00:18:44.610 --> 00:19:01.579
Quinlan Conf Room: analysis phase. So it's looking at cell phone data, so
they have access to software that's able to determine where driving trips
are occurring. So, you know, your phone will ping that it's traveling,
and then a company will aggregate all that data, and then…
140
00:19:01.990 --> 00:19:05.780
Quinlan Conf Room: Alta collects it, and… Analyze it for us.
141
00:19:07.790 --> 00:19:17.910
Quinlan Conf Room: I'm just curious, because you know what makes pick is
a high bike potential. This is based on real data from real.
142
00:19:18.390 --> 00:19:36.850
Quinlan Conf Room: drivers that drove those miles based on cell phone
reception, I guess. Yeah, right. And again, in the appendices, and with
what we prepared in Phase 1, we have supporting technical documentation
that kind of explains how this data was collected and the work that went
into these maps.
143
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:48.720
Quinlan Conf Room: I mean, just because there's a high density of cars
there, it doesn't necessarily mean that they could all translate into
bikes. I just want to be careful, right? Like, you know, I don't want to…
144
00:19:49.120 --> 00:20:05.520
Quinlan Conf Room: make that assumption. Yeah, we do describe the
limitations, too, so there's gonna be scenarios where people are chaining
trips, so you may be taking a short driving trip to go from your house to
Target, but then, you know, as part of, like, that journey, you're then
gonna be going from Target
145
00:20:05.800 --> 00:20:18.730
Quinlan Conf Room: you know, to Santa Clara or something. So it doesn't
really fully account for the complete journey, it's just it's looking at
that individual trip. So that's also documented. Can you go to page 56?
146
00:20:25.310 --> 00:20:35.790
Quinlan Conf Room: So, 10… Kenny walks through these improvements, like,
you know, the pedestrian facility toolbox, right? So… Bye bye.
147
00:20:36.260 --> 00:20:37.140
Quinlan Conf Room: So…
148
00:20:38.210 --> 00:20:48.959
Quinlan Conf Room: So, when we were developing our network
recommendations for the pedestrian network, we wanted to group our
improvements in what we call typologies, Group A, B, and Group C.
149
00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:55.810
Quinlan Conf Room: And the easiest way to think of these is Group A are
the lowest cost measures that we could probably do.
150
00:20:55.810 --> 00:21:19.750
Quinlan Conf Room: Fairly easily in-house. Group B are more engineering
changes, you can think capital projects, and Group C relate to traffic
signal and control improvements. Okay. So when we move forward with
potential projects, we're able to look at this intersection and say,
alright, Alta's determined that an appropriate solution here would be,
you know, a crossing improvement coupled with a traffic control
improvement.
151
00:21:19.760 --> 00:21:32.780
Quinlan Conf Room: or a geometric change along with the traffic control
improvement. So it just allows flexibility for future project delivery,
and also so many intersections, it would be difficult to really hone in
and say, alright, we need to get
152
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:46.720
Quinlan Conf Room: 5% design for these projects, so… Yeah, one of the
things that we want to be careful here, right? I'm all for, you know,
improving the walkability and, you know, bikeability within the city,
and, you know, 100%, right?
153
00:21:46.980 --> 00:21:50.270
Quinlan Conf Room: But we should do it without, you know, penalizing
154
00:21:50.340 --> 00:22:03.610
Quinlan Conf Room: anything. Like, for example, I've seen people saying
about, you know, cars backing up because, you know, no right turn on red,
right? So we want to be smart about, you know, when we do that, right?
Like, for example.
155
00:22:03.610 --> 00:22:18.859
Quinlan Conf Room: take Sterling and, you know, and McClellan, right? So
there, maybe, you know, we may want to do, like, you know, yeah, during
school hours and, you know, stuff like that, where, you know, there's a
lot of traffic, yes, we want to enforce it, but, you know, otherwise, you
know, we should…
156
00:22:18.860 --> 00:22:38.240
Quinlan Conf Room: We should kind of, you know, like, it has to be time-
bound, right? Not like, you know, always. Because I've seen, like,
evening times where there are a lot of cars, you know, people are getting
back to home, and no right turn on red, and, you know, it's backing up
traffic all the way, you know, very far beyond the…
157
00:22:38.260 --> 00:22:44.550
Quinlan Conf Room: The… where, you know, you make a… you come to a
separate turn lane, right? It's backing up into the main lanes.
158
00:22:44.940 --> 00:22:53.169
Quinlan Conf Room: Right? And so, we want to be very smart about, you
know, how we do these things, right? So, because we don't want to solve
one problem and create another problem.
159
00:22:54.030 --> 00:22:58.340
Quinlan Conf Room: And the ATP and the programmatic recommendations has,
you know.
160
00:22:58.450 --> 00:23:12.819
Quinlan Conf Room: right turn on red included in there, but on the
description, it says right turn on red, or limiting right turn on red
would only be allowed if it's fully understood that there's not going to
be negative traffic impacts associated with that. So that point was made
clear within the document.
161
00:23:13.040 --> 00:23:27.570
Quinlan Conf Room: So yeah, I'm all for making improvements. But I want
us to be careful not to solve one problem and create another problem. So
let's see, this is for page 56. Right? So
162
00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:30.910
Quinlan Conf Room: Can you go to page 62?
163
00:23:36.630 --> 00:23:37.530
Quinlan Conf Room: So…
164
00:23:38.290 --> 00:23:47.849
Quinlan Conf Room: So the solid orange is separated bikeway right now,
right? Correct. That's, you know, the concrete barriers, right? And what
are the dotted
165
00:23:47.850 --> 00:24:07.789
Quinlan Conf Room: orange line meets proposed, and the solid isn't
necessarily concrete. So we also have the delineators or the flexible
bollards in front of Lawson, or parking separated, which is the case on
Mary physically separated bikeways. Okay, okay, yeah. So yeah, so I'm all
for, you know.
166
00:24:07.980 --> 00:24:17.729
Quinlan Conf Room: things that are, you know, so long as there are no
barriers. I'm okay with that, because the the moment you put barriers and
so many problems associated.
167
00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:30.390
Quinlan Conf Room: And I live and breathe that, and I… so, I just don't
want to, you know, go down that path anymore. So, you know, bullets are
fine, right? Because, you know, people can weave in and out.
168
00:24:30.650 --> 00:24:45.669
Quinlan Conf Room: Right? When there are bikers, right? Multiple bikers,
then the bike lane itself is narrow, right? And you don't want… if one
biker doesn't want to be trapped behind another biker, right now, you
know, with a separated bike lane, they are going in the car.
169
00:24:46.370 --> 00:24:57.259
Quinlan Conf Room: And I see that all the time, right? And the way to
avoid that is, you know, if you give them capability to get in and out,
go around, so with wallets and stuff like that, then, you know, it's…
170
00:24:57.440 --> 00:25:00.439
Quinlan Conf Room: You know, we will see if that's a good compromise.
171
00:25:01.300 --> 00:25:01.980
Quinlan Conf Room: Thank you.
172
00:25:01.980 --> 00:25:24.590
Quinlan Conf Room: And when describing that project type on page 61,
separate bikeway, it does state that an on-street bike lane that is
separated from motor vehicle traffic by a vertical barrier such as
bollards, phrase meetings, planters, or parked cars. Yeah, it's not
limiting the design of the project. Okay, so I just want to make sure
that we're not committing to, you know, the concrete path.
173
00:25:25.120 --> 00:25:25.830
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay.
174
00:25:26.770 --> 00:25:31.980
Quinlan Conf Room: That's, in a minute. Yeah.
175
00:25:34.390 --> 00:25:42.330
Quinlan Conf Room: There's 1 high stress area that I spoke to some
community members. I brought it up in one of the meetings before. So if
you can bring up, you know the math.
176
00:25:42.560 --> 00:25:43.740
Quinlan Conf Room: Google Maps.
177
00:25:44.320 --> 00:25:51.180
Quinlan Conf Room: and… go to Charlieman Park area. This is under
Bollinger.
178
00:25:51.520 --> 00:25:53.950
Quinlan Conf Room: Right? And Kim Street Crossing.
179
00:26:05.790 --> 00:26:06.500
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay.
180
00:26:09.730 --> 00:26:10.540
Quinlan Conf Room: No.
181
00:26:13.880 --> 00:26:17.799
Quinlan Conf Room: Bollinger and? Bollinger and Kim Street Crossing.
182
00:26:18.170 --> 00:26:20.040
Quinlan Conf Room: like near the Johnnywood Park.
183
00:26:22.030 --> 00:26:28.229
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, yeah. So here, yes, so so that what I thought
is, you know.
184
00:26:29.420 --> 00:26:30.120
Quinlan Conf Room: So.
185
00:26:30.470 --> 00:26:38.620
Quinlan Conf Room: If… can you zoom out, please? Out? Because I want to
see if this is the driving part, right? So people come from…
186
00:26:38.910 --> 00:26:43.159
Quinlan Conf Room: Let's see, yeah, so this is Jalan Pak, right? So
people come here, Rock.
187
00:26:43.190 --> 00:26:51.990
Quinlan Conf Room: living here. They all go to Jalima Park, and they walk
this way right when they come here. They're trying to cross the street
right?
188
00:26:51.990 --> 00:27:06.210
Quinlan Conf Room: And a lot of cars that come here, they're coming full
speed, you know, to make a right turn, or they go straight. They don't
know that car is going to go straight, or, you know, make a right turn.
It's a huge struggle, and, you know, and they're near…
189
00:27:06.570 --> 00:27:17.780
Quinlan Conf Room: accidents a few times, and you know, I spoke to some
of those residents where they got nearly hit, because they thought, you
know, this car coming at speed is going to make a turn, but it was going
straight.
190
00:27:18.010 --> 00:27:29.299
Quinlan Conf Room: And so this is a high stress junction that, you know,
I heard from quite a few residents. So we need to do something about this
before we see, you know, something bad.
191
00:27:30.380 --> 00:27:49.459
Quinlan Conf Room: What's the segment? The bowling area is… the project
is in somewhere in the list. No, that is the other segment, the other
side. Right. Because this is a dead end, right? So this is a dead end at
the sand. But this junction is a problem. It's not captured at the
moment. But a lot are elderly people that are going there for walking and
coming back.
192
00:27:49.470 --> 00:27:53.269
Quinlan Conf Room: And at least I spoke to two people that said, no, they
can't get me in.
193
00:27:55.210 --> 00:28:03.210
Quinlan Conf Room: And since I live in this area, so they know that I'm
on a bike commission, they specifically spoke to me, you know, how
dangerous it is.
194
00:28:08.590 --> 00:28:15.250
Quinlan Conf Room: And there is a project recommendation for that
specific area, including kind of like a potentially unique
195
00:28:15.540 --> 00:28:23.220
Quinlan Conf Room: Project to add an on-street bike path. Again, this is…
everything's just conceptual at this point, but this was…
196
00:28:23.320 --> 00:28:36.209
Quinlan Conf Room: rank project one-on-one, and again, the project list
is just guidance for future selection for the CIP, but there are
improvements at that specific location. Yeah, so that was more for, you
know, like, some kind of a, like, you know.
197
00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:51.479
Quinlan Conf Room: crosswalk with, you know, the flashing lights or
something, you know, we need to do to help the pedestrians that are
trying to cross the bullying jet there. it looks like it's in there,
bullying jet came down. It's in the plan. It's in the plan. Awesome.
Yeah, I
198
00:28:51.690 --> 00:28:56.519
Quinlan Conf Room: Great good feedback. Thank you. Any other clarifying
questions from the Commission.
199
00:29:01.770 --> 00:29:05.810
Quinlan Conf Room: I have a question regarding something on
200
00:29:06.100 --> 00:29:12.210
Quinlan Conf Room: shows up 1st on page, and then 75.
201
00:29:13.320 --> 00:29:15.760
Quinlan Conf Room: And it's probably shaded within the document, but…
202
00:29:16.500 --> 00:29:29.949
Quinlan Conf Room: regards the rankings that we come up with from the
prioritization. I hadn't seen this before, and this seems to be new.
Rankings are not intended to reflect an order in which to complete
projects.
203
00:29:30.060 --> 00:29:35.069
Quinlan Conf Room: But rather, a guide for future project selection based
on a variety of factors.
204
00:29:35.620 --> 00:29:42.659
Quinlan Conf Room: I mean, when I read that it's like this. There's a
phenomenal amount of energy that's gone into the scoring, and
205
00:29:42.840 --> 00:29:48.869
Quinlan Conf Room: really trying to and looking at where projects lie
within that prioritization. And then I read this.
206
00:29:49.080 --> 00:29:52.760
Quinlan Conf Room: And it seemed absolutely, totally counterintuitive,
and
207
00:29:52.900 --> 00:29:59.400
Quinlan Conf Room: And and you look at other bike plans, including
including channels open. Once you get chair alone, chair, 2, chair, 3.
208
00:29:59.520 --> 00:30:16.389
Quinlan Conf Room: and you look at any other bike plant thing. It's all
about prioritization based on the scoring and those projects, you know.
Maybe it's not. Everything done is done exactly that way. But it's like,
Okay, you start looking at the top 10 or top 20, and then you work on
those.
209
00:30:16.510 --> 00:30:24.559
Quinlan Conf Room: and there may be some other in the lower areas that
get done. But it's those are accomplished first.st So it's this seemed
like
210
00:30:25.430 --> 00:30:26.400
Quinlan Conf Room: you know.
211
00:30:26.900 --> 00:30:36.949
Quinlan Conf Room: it. It threw me for a loop, because I thought, well,
this absolutely doesn't make any sense to me. This is not what we've been
talking about. This is not what everybody's focused on. Everybody's kind
of
212
00:30:37.150 --> 00:30:54.729
Quinlan Conf Room: I want to say wrestling over the numbers and how to
score these things, and now all of a sudden we put something like this in
here, and it's like, well, this doesn't make any sense. Yeah, and this is
something that was added to the plan just to… I mean, so the 2016 plan
with the
213
00:30:55.520 --> 00:31:11.219
Quinlan Conf Room: Council and CIP, they're not obligated to follow the
list as is. They have the discretion to select projects based on what the
community's priority is at the time, or, you know, what kind of funding
is available. So this is more of just a reminder to the community saying,
hey.
214
00:31:11.220 --> 00:31:21.870
Quinlan Conf Room: even though you have a project that is, you know, 172,
that doesn't mean it's not going to be built. Like, you can go and
advocate for it, just based on the criteria that we establish.
215
00:31:21.870 --> 00:31:38.560
Quinlan Conf Room: which we thought was very balanced and fair. It
identified projects that are going to have wide positive impacts also be
broadly supported by the community. But ultimately, Council is going to
have the decision making authority to choose which of these they want to
pursue.
216
00:31:39.170 --> 00:31:48.689
Quinlan Conf Room: which is, there's there's no difference between how
projects will be selected from this plan and how they've been selected
from plans in the past. This is just kind of more explicitly
217
00:31:48.730 --> 00:31:54.249
Quinlan Conf Room: saying what we've been doing all along. I think we
even talked about that many times that we
218
00:31:54.250 --> 00:32:11.769
Quinlan Conf Room: want to keep the liberty to collect projects with
different lengths together if they are in one particular location. So we
might have a grand opportunity for a project at 20, just because… And
pull in a project from the back of the list. I think that's what this is
about. Exactly. It's my read on it. Yeah, that's correct.
219
00:32:12.530 --> 00:32:18.319
Quinlan Conf Room: But that… I mean, if you look at the old plan, and you
look at… I think it's… there's some tables in there.
220
00:32:18.490 --> 00:32:29.169
Quinlan Conf Room: there's 2, 3 tiers, but like tier one, you know, 11
out of the 13 projects either have been built or in progress, and then
tier 2. It's only like
221
00:32:30.050 --> 00:32:38.250
Quinlan Conf Room: well, I don't know, it was maybe 50%, I mean, 50% have
been done, and then Tier 3, not that many, so there's some…
222
00:32:38.290 --> 00:32:50.629
Quinlan Conf Room: logic to have, you know, ranking all these projects,
and the likelihood that your project, for instance, we have Homestead
Road, which is 187 out of 202, that's…
223
00:32:50.690 --> 00:33:09.079
Quinlan Conf Room: I mean, I would look at that, any person after seeing
the score, you would look at it and say, well, long likelihood, we're not
going to see much there. And even though that, in my opinion, is an
incredibly important quarter. And so it's just hard for me to believe it.
I mean, it's just, I can't sit here and think, oh, this is…
224
00:33:09.430 --> 00:33:27.369
Quinlan Conf Room: This is going to happen. But I think that's exactly
what this message is about here, right? This would allow actually to say,
well, there is a project that's listed as 200, but because it is not an
exactly consecutive list, the Council can pick 205 if they feel so.
225
00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:33.230
Quinlan Conf Room: I think that would enable them, actually, to I'm
reading that, yes, but…
226
00:33:33.670 --> 00:33:49.430
Quinlan Conf Room: I'm not believing it. I'll tell you that I'm just not
believing it. Well, that's how it works. That's how it has worked, and
that's how it will work. So, you know, the intent is that, generally,
we're going to go down the list from highest priority to lowest priority.
227
00:33:49.440 --> 00:34:06.920
Quinlan Conf Room: But there's the discretion to jump around as
opportunities present themselves, or as the need arises, to do projects
out of order. And this just gives us the flexibility to do that, and not
imply that we're not going to do project number 2, because project 1
hasn't been done.
228
00:34:08.650 --> 00:34:18.969
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, great. But can you zoom in on? You know the
shared use path on Charlieman Park as well as the Creekside Park.
229
00:34:19.710 --> 00:34:26.460
Quinlan Conf Room: The Google map? The Google map? Or the… in the
document? Zoom it.
230
00:34:30.659 --> 00:34:39.369
Quinlan Conf Room: Are we in the pedestrian or the bike? Yeah, in in this
map only right? So I really want to understand.
231
00:34:40.030 --> 00:34:43.079
Quinlan Conf Room: On this page 77 map, right?
232
00:34:45.219 --> 00:34:46.350
Quinlan Conf Room: Zoom in.
233
00:34:46.760 --> 00:34:53.679
Quinlan Conf Room: Closer to… Yeah, see the Jalan Park? You see that
solid leaf, right?
234
00:34:54.320 --> 00:34:57.380
Quinlan Conf Room: I really want to understand, you know, what that
means, like, you know.
235
00:34:57.520 --> 00:35:03.130
Quinlan Conf Room: this one, and likewise this one. I really want to
understand what that means.
236
00:35:03.400 --> 00:35:09.639
Quinlan Conf Room: They're inside the park. Like, they're not, like, you
know, they're shared bike paths, you know.
237
00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:15.090
Quinlan Conf Room: Right, so… This is inside the park, so…
238
00:35:17.580 --> 00:35:24.269
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, that's just to show that bikes are allowed. They
technically don't fit within…
239
00:35:24.560 --> 00:35:44.139
Quinlan Conf Room: I don't believe David, but in order to categorize them
and kind of demonstrate. Yeah, it's it's a pathway that that bikes are
legally allowed. Allowed. They use unless explicitly prohibited. Yeah. So
that likes a big danger, because a lot of people walk on those
240
00:35:44.150 --> 00:36:00.119
Quinlan Conf Room: Right? They're not wide enough, you know, to
accommodate bikers, as well as, you know, walkers. And I explicitly heard
that complaint from people that are walking on the jogging path. And
that's something that, you know, could be modified through all of this.
Yeah, but this…
241
00:36:00.120 --> 00:36:10.549
Quinlan Conf Room: Oh, it is now. Yeah, it is. But we need to do
something, because, you know, there are really, really no elderly people
walking there, and you know.
242
00:36:10.580 --> 00:36:23.870
Quinlan Conf Room: And imagine, you know, a collision involving a deadly
person and a biker, right? That's pretty dangerous. And the Memorial Park
recommendation is just what's within the Memorial Park Master Plan, which
would make
243
00:36:23.960 --> 00:36:30.310
Quinlan Conf Room: New Pass wide enough to those standards you're talking
about? Yes, I got a complaint from Memorial Park as well.
244
00:36:30.740 --> 00:36:33.190
Quinlan Conf Room: So that's the recommendation of the plan. Okay.
245
00:36:33.600 --> 00:36:37.639
Quinlan Conf Room: This queen is out of school, so this is not a new
project, right? No.
246
00:36:37.890 --> 00:36:48.789
Quinlan Conf Room: the jollyman loop. Yeah, that's that's that's cool.
But I'm just saying to to serve the purpose.
247
00:36:48.980 --> 00:36:53.560
Quinlan Conf Room: Right? Because by allowing this, we created a
dangerous situation.
248
00:36:57.400 --> 00:36:58.240
Quinlan Conf Room: Yep.
249
00:37:00.140 --> 00:37:07.710
Quinlan Conf Room: Do we have any qualitative or quantitative feedback
regarding
250
00:37:07.940 --> 00:37:14.610
Quinlan Conf Room: From the community during the feedback gathering
process about neighborhood by crowds.
251
00:37:15.540 --> 00:37:18.010
Quinlan Conf Room: neighborhood bike ground specifically.
252
00:37:18.280 --> 00:37:24.559
Quinlan Conf Room: Their support of them, specifically for access to
schools, really, is where they were brought up the most.
253
00:37:24.980 --> 00:37:37.719
Quinlan Conf Room: How was the feedback? Like, do you have, like,
anecdotes or any other data points saying, like, I don't know, 50% would
buy it? Yes, we like that. We didn't ask questions specifically about
that, but when we…
254
00:37:38.580 --> 00:37:51.679
Quinlan Conf Room: Because we originally had that fairness criteria,
right, which showed how many projects received likes. The shared use pa…
or, sorry, neighborhood routes themselves received the most likes, along
with the shared use pass.
255
00:37:52.380 --> 00:38:03.349
Quinlan Conf Room: But we say we didn't. So that's right. Pardon? Said we
didn't use the last. No, exactly so before we made that change. When you
look at the public input map.
256
00:38:04.040 --> 00:38:05.279
Quinlan Conf Room: The community loves them.
257
00:38:08.470 --> 00:38:10.380
Quinlan Conf Room: So… Thanks.
258
00:38:10.620 --> 00:38:13.999
Quinlan Conf Room: on the e-bike safety, right? So you have,
259
00:38:15.540 --> 00:38:21.020
Quinlan Conf Room: You have information saying that, okay, how are we
going to improve the fit? Like, there is how, except for education.
260
00:38:21.660 --> 00:38:28.169
Quinlan Conf Room: I didn't see anything concrete in saying that how we
are going to improve the e-bike safety.
261
00:38:28.280 --> 00:38:33.980
Quinlan Conf Room: The other thing is like you have potential for you by
your different.
262
00:38:34.700 --> 00:38:39.729
Quinlan Conf Room: Trip potential, right? So you have, you have a
different choice.
263
00:38:40.060 --> 00:38:49.919
Quinlan Conf Room: But then, you are not necessarily breaking out as to
how much percentage of the people are actually using the e-bikes now, and
what's the…
264
00:38:50.240 --> 00:39:00.690
Quinlan Conf Room: growth potential there as well, right? Because right
now, it's all lumped up under… everything is considered as one single
line item. So, do you have plans to…
265
00:39:00.860 --> 00:39:11.609
Quinlan Conf Room: So that table is the Safe Routes to School travel
tally information that we collect. So that's the student mode share data.
As for
266
00:39:11.650 --> 00:39:28.989
Quinlan Conf Room: specificity about addressing e-bike education. That's
something that would come through, like, a city work program item, so
having that within this plan then allows us to go and make the
recommendation that we need some sort of formal project that has council
support and budget
267
00:39:28.990 --> 00:39:36.210
Quinlan Conf Room: Attached to it to then go out and perform that
education in whatever form would be the most appropriate.
268
00:39:36.980 --> 00:39:41.520
Quinlan Conf Room: So, other than education, we're not building anything
as part of e-bike safety.
269
00:39:44.360 --> 00:40:00.810
Quinlan Conf Room: I guess I don't understand the question. There is an
agenda item that we're planning for the next meeting, which is on e-
bikes, specifically, some of the challenges we talked about during the
meetings there, but I think it's unrelated, kind of, to the, to the plan.
It's really more, what are we, as a city, how are we thinking about the
270
00:40:00.810 --> 00:40:05.770
Quinlan Conf Room: illegal e-bike cycles. Yeah, exactly, because people
are… you know.
271
00:40:06.070 --> 00:40:22.829
Quinlan Conf Room: biking on sidewalks… Yes. …at a much higher speed, I'm
thinking, which is going to affect the pedestrian safety. Yeah, in a
future program, we'll consider things like enforcement, or whether that…
That is exactly what we're going to talk about in the, kind of, meeting,
but it's unrelated to the bike plan, because it could be anywhere.
272
00:40:22.950 --> 00:40:26.319
Quinlan Conf Room: You guys could be anywhere in the city where
violations are happening.
273
00:40:26.860 --> 00:40:33.350
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, I have something on technology corridors, but
then we'll talk about it once we have a Q&A session over.
274
00:40:33.790 --> 00:40:41.850
Quinlan Conf Room: Wonderful. Any more clarifying questions? Otherwise,
I'll open up for public comments. I have one additional question.
275
00:40:42.260 --> 00:40:49.800
Quinlan Conf Room: Just to, when we look at the, looking now at the bike
infrastructure.
276
00:40:49.980 --> 00:41:05.939
Quinlan Conf Room: when sometimes a quarter will have a separated bike
lane. Sometimes it will be like a bike lane with a buffer, and then I
look at the I go onto the city website. I look at the traffic counts for
those corridors, and they're all really hot. It's like
277
00:41:06.280 --> 00:41:09.269
Quinlan Conf Room: you know, I think 6,000 a day is
278
00:41:09.520 --> 00:41:18.999
Quinlan Conf Room: my recollection. 6,000 a day is is it recommended for
you to go to a separated bike lane. I think that comes from the Federal
Government.
279
00:41:19.520 --> 00:41:22.970
Quinlan Conf Room: I think the urban bikeway design job.
280
00:41:23.010 --> 00:41:42.340
Quinlan Conf Room: So like, I'm trying to. And some of these are 30,000
20,000. Most, in fact, most of them are up in that range. So of the major
corridors where you would put these. And so what like, how? How is that
determined whether or not to go to separated bike lane versus a regular
bike lane versus
281
00:41:42.390 --> 00:41:45.099
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah. Buffered bike way. So…
282
00:41:45.360 --> 00:42:02.799
Quinlan Conf Room: Alta looked at what you were talking about, referenced
all the FHWA guidance and the Caltrans Design Information Bulletin to
kind of establish the foundation of, alright, what's recommended at the
state and federal level. And then, based on what we heard from the
community, kind of…
283
00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:12.150
Quinlan Conf Room: refine those recommendations, looked at the corridors,
determined what was feasible, where there's, like, Blaney, for instance,
284
00:42:12.530 --> 00:42:21.240
Quinlan Conf Room: Previously, it was a separated bike lane in the 2016
plan, but it's been refined to a buffered bike lane due to the fact that
there's just so many
285
00:42:21.300 --> 00:42:33.349
Quinlan Conf Room: driveways, and from an engineering perspective and
cost, the likelihood of a separated bike lane across the entire segment
of Blaney from Homestead to Bollinger would be incredibly expensive, so
let's
286
00:42:33.540 --> 00:42:41.379
Quinlan Conf Room: put a recommendation in the plan that is actually
realistic, and something that's going to have benefit, and something
that's going to have benefit, hopefully in the near term.
287
00:42:44.260 --> 00:42:45.010
Quinlan Conf Room: Thank you.
288
00:42:45.780 --> 00:42:51.740
Quinlan Conf Room: Alright. Are we, all good here on clarifying
questions? Sounds like the case.
289
00:42:52.010 --> 00:43:05.910
Quinlan Conf Room: Let's now open up for public commentary on this topic.
Anybody has any comments with anybody online. Okay, wonderful. Thank you.
Then I'm gonna get it back to the Commission for a discussion.
290
00:43:06.130 --> 00:43:22.410
Quinlan Conf Room: on this topic, and I think that the objective and the
goal for tonight is to get this document essentially ready for city
council to approve. I think we have the feedback from the planning
commission which is pretty much
291
00:43:22.590 --> 00:43:27.390
Quinlan Conf Room: Approved, as is, with the addition of the,
292
00:43:27.560 --> 00:43:40.590
Quinlan Conf Room: emergency route kind of considerations. So when there
is impact to come to emergency situations, we should definitely make this
as a checkpoint for to.
293
00:43:41.000 --> 00:43:42.130
Quinlan Conf Room: Very fine.
294
00:43:42.250 --> 00:43:49.999
Quinlan Conf Room: But do we have any other topics of discussion that we
want to cover before we do a vote on the document tonight.
295
00:43:52.390 --> 00:43:53.280
Quinlan Conf Room: Yes.
296
00:43:53.540 --> 00:43:57.329
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, we can go for it. So 1st of all.
297
00:43:57.840 --> 00:44:01.399
Quinlan Conf Room: I think I don't disagree with you, Chair, when you
said that
298
00:44:02.080 --> 00:44:05.310
Quinlan Conf Room: That information was interesting to watch.
299
00:44:05.490 --> 00:44:21.539
Quinlan Conf Room: I think I'm very sorry for staff who have to go
through the same thing over again from one day to the other, to deliver
the exact same presentation. It's a disaster in terms of governance for
the city, because
300
00:44:21.770 --> 00:44:34.199
Quinlan Conf Room: there is, like, there was close to no discussion about
land use. There was one commissioner who mentioned at some point the ADUs
and the use of parking, and that was pretty much it. The rest of the one-
hour discussion
301
00:44:34.200 --> 00:44:42.459
Quinlan Conf Room: was the exact same discussion that should have
happened here or would happen here. And so the question is who does what
and that's it.
302
00:44:42.650 --> 00:45:02.599
Quinlan Conf Room: again. I'm very sorry for Staff to have redundant
efforts, but beyond that I think the issue is also that with the planning
Commissioner, who portrays himself, as you know, guardian of the purse,
and wants to reduce spending. But I don't know exactly what your
compensation scheme is, but I'm pretty sure that you are compensated
303
00:45:02.630 --> 00:45:13.450
Quinlan Conf Room: to stay until 9 30 at City Hall, and I don't think
that it's the best use of taxpayer money to have staff do the same thing
over and again, over and over again, twice.
304
00:45:13.480 --> 00:45:32.389
Quinlan Conf Room: just because, you know, one Commissioner and the
Planning Commission are trying to take over the responsibilities of the
plan. Because that's exactly the same thing that was presented yesterday
that is presented today. So that's definitely on the bike.
305
00:45:33.100 --> 00:45:36.470
Quinlan Conf Room: Over the process, maybe, but still about the bike
time.
306
00:45:36.700 --> 00:45:38.720
Quinlan Conf Room: Couple of things.
307
00:45:39.200 --> 00:45:44.529
Quinlan Conf Room: I think the… One of the issues that I had with the
back plan was that
308
00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:52.729
Quinlan Conf Room: We were told that the implementation of the Vision
Zero plan would be actually in the ATP.
309
00:45:53.040 --> 00:45:54.040
Quinlan Conf Room: And…
310
00:45:54.840 --> 00:46:07.250
Quinlan Conf Room: It's it's a little bit disappointing from that
standpoint. I mean, if you look at Homestead, she's on the high injury
network just has one intersection improvement for bikes.
311
00:46:07.410 --> 00:46:09.170
Quinlan Conf Room: And…
312
00:46:09.350 --> 00:46:26.619
Quinlan Conf Room: that's the only one outside of Stevens Creek
Boulevard, and there's just two improvements for pedestrians. So, if we
look at if the active transportation plan is the implementation, like,
what is going to help us make the city safer for pedestrians and
cyclists.
313
00:46:26.730 --> 00:46:41.969
Quinlan Conf Room: at least as far as Homestead is concerned, it's not
there. So that is disappointing. Bollinger also has literally 0
intersection improvements. De Anza Boulevard has one, and that's because
it's a joint one with with Stevens Green Boulevard here.
314
00:46:42.090 --> 00:46:46.139
Quinlan Conf Room: And same thing, Stelling has just two, two
intersection improvements.
315
00:46:46.300 --> 00:46:52.530
Quinlan Conf Room: I will commend the fact that the the pedestrian plan
is actually very solid.
316
00:46:52.660 --> 00:46:53.440
Quinlan Conf Room: of.
317
00:46:53.590 --> 00:47:05.560
Quinlan Conf Room: I really like it. I think there's a lot of things that
make the city better. And so I think the the pedestrian plan is really
good. It's just disappointing from a
318
00:47:06.270 --> 00:47:23.260
Quinlan Conf Room: from a intersection standpoint and a high engineering
network standpoint that we have this discrepancy between what we say is
dangerous and what we're actually willing to make better to remove that
aspect of our students.
319
00:47:24.590 --> 00:47:40.880
Quinlan Conf Room: I have one more, one more thing. But sure, go for it.
Okay? So I counted in the project 68 neighborhood back back routes. And
hence my question regarding their their support in the community.
320
00:47:41.100 --> 00:47:45.249
Quinlan Conf Room: I personally haven't…
321
00:47:45.310 --> 00:48:04.749
Quinlan Conf Room: had any contact with anyone from the community asking
for these bike routes. I've never heard any enthusiastic feedback. Maybe
a like on the internet does not equate, at least does not translate for
me for, you know, popular support. I have a problem with it because
322
00:48:05.290 --> 00:48:07.080
Quinlan Conf Room: I don't think this solved any problem.
323
00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:09.610
Quinlan Conf Room: I don't think they improve safety.
324
00:48:10.160 --> 00:48:15.150
Quinlan Conf Room: Which one is that the neighborhood 5 routes?
325
00:48:15.310 --> 00:48:18.769
Quinlan Conf Room: So it's essentially signs and sharps. Oops.
326
00:48:20.920 --> 00:48:36.989
Quinlan Conf Room: And the shadows confuse the car drivers and the
cyclists alike, because the cyclists don't know… think that they are
allowed to drive in the middle of the street, and the cars don't know
where the cyclists should be. And by the way, I think on some of the…
327
00:48:37.020 --> 00:48:43.709
Quinlan Conf Room: bodies, governing bodies of transportation shadows are
actually not actively discouraged as in
328
00:48:44.160 --> 00:48:49.030
Quinlan Conf Room: as a measure. So because of the confusion that I that
I mentioned.
329
00:48:49.290 --> 00:48:51.840
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, in terms of signs, like…
330
00:48:52.020 --> 00:49:07.109
Quinlan Conf Room: telling people to go from A to B. I think it's more
than widespread that people now use their phones instead of looking at
the signs. This might have been the case in the nineties, where people
would be like, Oh, I'm going to watch the signs to go to a park. But
that's not the case anymore.
331
00:49:07.280 --> 00:49:11.500
Quinlan Conf Room: Another thing that worries me is the cost.
332
00:49:11.750 --> 00:49:16.490
Quinlan Conf Room: Because… And I'm gonna take the one cost as a
333
00:49:17.960 --> 00:49:32.520
Quinlan Conf Room: wide sense, not just the cost of, you know, putting a
sign and painting shadows, but also for all that happens, we need people
who do project management, who, you know, we need to have the
authorization, we need to go
334
00:49:32.600 --> 00:49:49.149
Quinlan Conf Room: It's staff time, and instead of focusing on other
things, I think these projects, again, do not solve any problem, and they
ask for time, money, and attention. And so I have a real problem with
that.
335
00:49:49.280 --> 00:49:59.670
Quinlan Conf Room: Mayor Moore already indicated that she didn't like
them and said she didn't want to see that it was not valuable. And so, in
my opinion.
336
00:50:00.210 --> 00:50:10.320
Quinlan Conf Room: because these things cost money, attention, and you
know, time for stuff. I'd rather have the city to less.
337
00:50:11.060 --> 00:50:15.970
Quinlan Conf Room: but better, less. In that case, to me, is more And…
338
00:50:16.830 --> 00:50:19.819
Quinlan Conf Room: I think we should do less projects, but better one.
339
00:50:20.190 --> 00:50:22.239
Quinlan Conf Room: And I don't see…
340
00:50:22.800 --> 00:50:31.869
Quinlan Conf Room: the bike routes as being an efficient way, you know,
to make a connectivity improvement safety improvement. There is very,
very little. If there are
341
00:50:32.100 --> 00:50:38.979
Quinlan Conf Room: thing that are improved like improved in terms of of
projects. They are marked already, and and backwards are not one of them.
342
00:50:39.290 --> 00:50:44.939
Quinlan Conf Room: And so again, if We're saying, let's not do bike
routes.
343
00:50:45.840 --> 00:50:54.160
Quinlan Conf Room: it reduces pretty considerably the number of projects,
because I said I count 68, but in my opinion, it would be better to do
less.
344
00:50:54.470 --> 00:51:08.450
Quinlan Conf Room: And it's not because it's a bike thing, you know, we
pat ourselves in the back, and we decide, like, hey, everybody's happy
because we did something, but something is not always the right thing.
And I'd rather see the city make some progress on all the other projects.
345
00:51:08.630 --> 00:51:13.679
Quinlan Conf Room: that are discussed in that plan as opposed to the the
the bike bullet points.
346
00:51:16.370 --> 00:51:26.020
Quinlan Conf Room: One quick point of clarification. So there's 68 listed
segments for the neighborhood rounds, but those would be delivered. Yeah.
347
00:51:26.350 --> 00:51:28.930
Quinlan Conf Room: So I don't know if there's some…
348
00:51:29.160 --> 00:51:32.050
Quinlan Conf Room: moment, if I can make a motion, but,
349
00:51:34.610 --> 00:51:47.800
Quinlan Conf Room: I'm not sure if this requires a change, because I
think part of what this is about is about a list of things and projects,
so that doesn't mean, again, it doesn't mean you have to execute them one
by one, in that order.
350
00:51:48.510 --> 00:51:51.340
Quinlan Conf Room: everybody, City Council, staff.
351
00:51:51.440 --> 00:52:04.140
Quinlan Conf Room: we'll have the liberty to essentially pick from this
list. It doesn't have to be executed one by one. So I'm not sure if it
really warrants a change as much as a reaffirmation of the fact that
352
00:52:04.140 --> 00:52:14.240
Quinlan Conf Room: City Council and everybody else can pick whatever they
want there. And it's expressively stated there. And when we presented the
network recommendations to the City Council.
353
00:52:14.310 --> 00:52:21.280
Quinlan Conf Room: in November of last year. They didn't have any
comments about the individual projects or the number of them. Yep.
354
00:52:25.830 --> 00:52:31.100
Quinlan Conf Room: any other commentary questions, discussions. Yes, I
have.
355
00:52:31.950 --> 00:52:35.850
Quinlan Conf Room: comments about the technology corridor.
356
00:52:36.430 --> 00:52:46.079
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, can you bring up the, two pages? Same, same
number? Same picture, is it? 59? 59?
357
00:52:46.600 --> 00:52:48.819
Quinlan Conf Room: There's also one that's 7 people.
358
00:52:49.750 --> 00:52:50.750
Quinlan Conf Room: Pretty good.
359
00:52:51.020 --> 00:52:52.080
Quinlan Conf Room: Here I am.
360
00:52:52.780 --> 00:52:53.580
Quinlan Conf Room: Here.
361
00:52:53.970 --> 00:53:02.989
Quinlan Conf Room: So if you look at this one, the technology corridor
that you picked up like, I think, 5 corridors to plan for
362
00:53:03.180 --> 00:53:04.130
Quinlan Conf Room: But…
363
00:53:04.670 --> 00:53:11.000
Quinlan Conf Room: there is a potential for you to extend this one, for
example, in a few areas. Like, one is, like, you know, from selling
364
00:53:11.160 --> 00:53:20.950
Quinlan Conf Room: All the way to Bianza, right? There is a gap there,
it's possible to extend that through Homestead all the way to the Bianza,
that's one possibility.
365
00:53:21.270 --> 00:53:35.849
Quinlan Conf Room: And the second one is, like, you can also, in
McClellan, I think you were trying to focus on the school areas and the
major corridors, but the McClellan is not there, so that's another area
where it's possible to add that technology.
366
00:53:36.220 --> 00:53:47.590
Quinlan Conf Room: And then, there's no reason to stop, like, for
example, the plan is to go all the way up to. I think it's Barcelona.
367
00:53:47.760 --> 00:54:06.089
Quinlan Conf Room: to cover the Cupertino High School, but it's good to
really go all the way to the end, to Bollinger Road, because you have
Miller on the other side, which is also a busy issue on the Bollinger
Road, so it's good to get that all the way to the Bollinger, that sort of
thing.
368
00:54:06.840 --> 00:54:22.730
Quinlan Conf Room: And also, on Stevens Street Boulevard, it's okay to
extend all the way up to the Copernicus boundary, like up to Lawrence
Expressway, but not to Lawrence, but at least to 280 intersection, which
is also a busy section where you could extend that.
369
00:54:23.290 --> 00:54:24.170
Quinlan Conf Room: And.
370
00:54:24.610 --> 00:54:34.770
Quinlan Conf Room: I would also consider the sixth road as a Bollinger
Bowl, because it was also one of the safety issues that was considered,
and it's easier for us to accommodate our technology
371
00:54:34.910 --> 00:54:40.299
Quinlan Conf Room: that as a technology, but as opposed to making other
infrastructure improvements, it was much more harder.
372
00:54:40.690 --> 00:54:41.570
Quinlan Conf Room: Good one.
373
00:54:41.960 --> 00:54:50.320
Quinlan Conf Room: So that's my suggestion regarding… and all this
technology corridors, I think you will put that as a… these are all staff
recommendations.
374
00:54:50.450 --> 00:55:07.140
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, if I'm not mistaken, right? So, these technology
quarters were created based off of council direction to prioritize
technology in the ATP? Correct. And when we started looking at, alright,
how do we identify what these quarters should be? We first looked at the
typology C intersections and the signalized intersections.
375
00:55:07.140 --> 00:55:18.819
Quinlan Conf Room: So those are the traffic signal and control
improvements, and then we looked at their relationship to the high injury
network, and then where within those corridors there's high rates of
collisions where the primary collision factor could be associated
376
00:55:18.820 --> 00:55:23.950
Quinlan Conf Room: with… Different factors at an intersection, like red
light brownies, or,
377
00:55:24.060 --> 00:55:39.969
Quinlan Conf Room: you know, improper turning at a red stuff like that.
And then some of these corridors and intersections. The city just doesn't
control like Bollinger. The city of San Jose actually maintains and
manages those intersections. So we wouldn't have the ability to actually
378
00:55:40.330 --> 00:55:58.329
Quinlan Conf Room: you know, implement and control those technologies.
So, these corridors were really just identified based off their collision
history, whether or not the city has the authority to actually manage the
technology, and then what the plans, pedestrian recommendations are,
along those.
379
00:55:59.480 --> 00:56:06.649
Quinlan Conf Room: Is that the same issue on the whole site as well?
Like, we're doing control, or is it the city of Sunnyvale? That was the
Sunnyvale.
380
00:56:06.760 --> 00:56:07.540
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay.
381
00:56:08.160 --> 00:56:13.590
Quinlan Conf Room: That makes sense, yeah. And how about students that
are extending all the way?
382
00:56:13.850 --> 00:56:25.040
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, when we looked at the collision data and the
recommendations for the typology C intersections, they ended at Miller,
and there really aren't as many
383
00:56:25.390 --> 00:56:34.830
Quinlan Conf Room: collisions that have those collision factors once you
get east of Miller. They're really kind of consolidated between De Anza
and Miller, and Stelling and De Anza.
384
00:56:37.420 --> 00:56:39.340
Quinlan Conf Room: Makes sense. Makes sense.
385
00:56:39.910 --> 00:56:41.559
Quinlan Conf Room: And my closing is not.
386
00:56:42.670 --> 00:56:44.539
Quinlan Conf Room: That issue, we didn't have any…
387
00:56:44.820 --> 00:56:52.849
Quinlan Conf Room: There's no traffic control improvements for there,
and… I'm just asking whether that could be…
388
00:56:52.970 --> 00:57:01.120
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, it's something that council could decide that
they want to do again. This is just like an initial project, saying, Hey.
389
00:57:01.560 --> 00:57:10.310
Quinlan Conf Room: These are reasonable corridors, but Council could look
more broadly and add corridors when we get to implementing projects.
390
00:57:10.990 --> 00:57:19.090
Quinlan Conf Room: And there's only 3… traffic signals along McClellan,
and two of them are… are accounted for here.
391
00:57:19.230 --> 00:57:23.779
Quinlan Conf Room: It's only McClellan above that is. Yeah, exactly.
392
00:57:25.470 --> 00:57:38.909
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, that's something that I believe we've been
looking at that one to see whether you have enough data connectivity to
that signal, and I believe it is there, or that was being discussed at
some point. Yeah, it's not connected to our network currently. Okay.
393
00:57:39.480 --> 00:57:44.009
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, I think as part of the, you know, technology
gives us proof of concept that
394
00:57:44.670 --> 00:57:54.310
Quinlan Conf Room: We did some time ago, that was one area. We're looking
at the school areas to see how we can bring that, and I believe that the
Finch was already included in student screen.
395
00:57:54.600 --> 00:57:57.110
Quinlan Conf Room: But I don't believe… Hold on.
396
00:57:58.270 --> 00:58:00.319
Quinlan Conf Room: The bubbler wasn't. So that's
397
00:58:02.650 --> 00:58:17.500
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, another question I have is, like, one of the
things last time we got the feedback is, the data collection. We wanted
to… if you want to make any future decisions or improvement, we want to
use the data collection, like, before and after, kind of a thing, so…
398
00:58:18.110 --> 00:58:22.350
Quinlan Conf Room: I didn't see anything there to say how we plan to get
that.
399
00:58:22.390 --> 00:58:31.190
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, so… That was the feedback last time in Planning
Commission that the feedback was there. We provided the feedback, and I
believe Council also said the same thing.
400
00:58:31.190 --> 00:58:45.029
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah. And then we developed the project effectiveness
guidelines which lays out the approach for pre project collection and
post project collection to determine. Alright, what's the result after we
put in these projects? So looking at
401
00:58:45.030 --> 00:59:03.810
Quinlan Conf Room: collision rates, pre project collision rates, post
project, and then counts pre project counts post project. And then we
within the guidelines created this term, the safety plus mode shift rate.
So when looking at whether or not a project was effective, did we have an
increase in cycling?
402
00:59:03.810 --> 00:59:11.339
Quinlan Conf Room: That was also associated with a decrease in
collisions. So that's included as appendix J which was reviewed.
403
00:59:16.640 --> 00:59:18.299
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, that's all I have.
404
00:59:18.930 --> 00:59:22.239
Quinlan Conf Room: Excellent. Any more comments?
405
00:59:22.620 --> 00:59:25.629
Quinlan Conf Room: discussion. I I do have some comments.
406
00:59:25.950 --> 00:59:26.960
Quinlan Conf Room: So…
407
00:59:27.670 --> 00:59:44.699
Quinlan Conf Room: I mean, I'd like to make some general statements about
the the plan. I I think I'm I'm pleased that the restoring has pushed
some of the intersections up in the in the ranking. I I compared before
and after so, and I would agree with Commissioner Marcy about
408
00:59:44.800 --> 00:59:50.030
Quinlan Conf Room: I mean, the plan seems to do a very reasonably good
job with the pedestrian infrastructure.
409
00:59:50.080 --> 01:00:06.520
Quinlan Conf Room: and I think that's important. But it seems to be very
heavily weighted in that in that direction, and I also agree with him
about these neighborhood routes. I've ridden some of them. There was one
close to my house. It's like I'm not sure why they're they're some of
them are ranked very high.
410
01:00:06.800 --> 01:00:09.420
Quinlan Conf Room: And it just doesn't make any sense to me.
411
01:00:09.540 --> 01:00:23.220
Quinlan Conf Room: I think if you look at what our goals are, I mean, we
have Vision Zero, you know, zero KSIs by 2040. They're looking at this
climate action plan where active transportation is
412
01:00:23.460 --> 01:00:34.339
Quinlan Conf Room: I think 15% of all trips by 2030, which seems like
it's out of reach already, and 23% by 2040, I think. It's something
ambitious.
413
01:00:35.070 --> 01:00:56.289
Quinlan Conf Room: And then you look at the VTA plan, which the
connectivity, they want some connectivity. So if you get commuters
traveling into Cooperton, I think we seem to be focused mainly on the
community a lot, but it's important. But also you want to. There's a lot
of people working at Apple. You want them to ride their bike instead of
having driving their car.
414
01:00:56.500 --> 01:00:57.700
Quinlan Conf Room: So,
415
01:00:58.540 --> 01:01:07.359
Quinlan Conf Room: And then you look at what Alta… the way Alta has
described Cupertino, it seems like they… in one of the existing condition
memorandum.
416
01:01:07.850 --> 01:01:10.620
Quinlan Conf Room: It… it seems that,
417
01:01:11.320 --> 01:01:26.569
Quinlan Conf Room: They're saying all the right things. I mean, they have
a statement in there that says, to make active transportation an even
more attractive option, Cupertino must address the major corridors that
serve as obstacles for people walking, biking, and rolling.
418
01:01:26.700 --> 01:01:33.510
Quinlan Conf Room: Streets such as Stevens Creek Boulevard, Ganza
Boulevard, and Homestead Road are crucial to connectivity.
419
01:01:33.640 --> 01:01:40.309
Quinlan Conf Room: But their design and high traffic volumes present
significant challenges to safe travel by walking or biking.
420
01:01:40.560 --> 01:01:46.180
Quinlan Conf Room: Where facilities do exist, they may not feel
comfortable for all ages and abilities to use.
421
01:01:46.560 --> 01:01:56.200
Quinlan Conf Room: These high traffic corridors often isolate residential
areas, making it difficult for residents to access local destinations or
regional transit stations safely.
422
01:01:56.680 --> 01:02:05.590
Quinlan Conf Room: To address this, the city should focus on improving
major corridors by creating safe and comfortable options for people to
walk, bike, or roll.
423
01:02:05.820 --> 01:02:19.810
Quinlan Conf Room: Doing so will create a safer and more accessible, more
accessible routes for residents and visitors, thereby improving overall
connectivity and supporting the city goals for sustainable, walkable
Cupertino.
424
01:02:20.070 --> 01:02:35.439
Quinlan Conf Room: And if I look at this plan, and I still think the
rankings are important, you may say, well, okay, we generally do the
stuff that's up front, but the corridors are… they're all… the top 7,
they're all for, that are listed in the,
425
01:02:35.440 --> 01:02:44.929
Quinlan Conf Room: Division 0, as far as 70% of the KSIs go, they're all
pushed down below. I mean, I listed them out right now.
426
01:02:46.330 --> 01:02:49.100
Quinlan Conf Room: You know, Stevens Creek has got 69.
427
01:02:49.380 --> 01:03:08.709
Quinlan Conf Room: Homestead's 187 Dan's Dan's is not even ranked.
There's a little segment at 183. But there's a that section particularly
north of I've written that section. That's we widen the bike lane, but
not that section north of Stevens Creek. That's really tight. In fact,
it's I. When we approve that
428
01:03:09.360 --> 01:03:24.769
Quinlan Conf Room: We we didn't approve that. We looked at it in a
commission meeting, and then I looked at it, and and we wanted that land
wider. It was actually made narrower than what's shown in the conceptual
plans that were given to us. So it's really it's not. It's not
comfortable.
429
01:03:24.940 --> 01:03:29.419
Quinlan Conf Room: It's that section from De Anza down to, Stevens Creek,
going southbound.
430
01:03:29.970 --> 01:03:34.500
Quinlan Conf Room: Stelling's at 68, 80.
431
01:03:34.680 --> 01:03:37.569
Quinlan Conf Room: Wolf is 83, Bollinger 78.
432
01:03:37.710 --> 01:03:40.689
Quinlan Conf Room: So, I'm looking at this and thinking, well, we're not…
433
01:03:41.100 --> 01:03:55.869
Quinlan Conf Room: We're not getting Division 0, and we're not even going
to come close to this Climate Action Plan, and we're not going to… we're
not working with GTA on connectivity, because I think they're looking at…
they're looking at De Anza Boulevard, I think they're looking at
Homestead.
434
01:03:55.920 --> 01:04:01.360
Quinlan Conf Room: And I think there's a few other boulevards there that
we really don't address. So
435
01:04:01.560 --> 01:04:07.329
Quinlan Conf Room: you know, and and having commuted to Menlo Park for
about 25 years on my bike.
436
01:04:07.530 --> 01:04:16.320
Quinlan Conf Room: I know connectivity is really important, so you want
to make corridors that you encourage people to bike. Take cars off the
road.
437
01:04:16.490 --> 01:04:18.000
Quinlan Conf Room: And, so…
438
01:04:18.140 --> 01:04:24.530
Quinlan Conf Room: I… so I… I think the… there's things about the plan I
like, and the plan says a lot of stuff up front that's…
439
01:04:24.760 --> 01:04:34.470
Quinlan Conf Room: So, it seems very good, and, you know, they're spot
on, it seems like they're directed, but when we get down to that scoring
and the listing of the projects, and I'm hearing what you're saying.
440
01:04:34.590 --> 01:04:45.650
Quinlan Conf Room: It's not all, you know. We don't take them in any
order. Well, I think in the end, somebody looking at this document 5
years from now, and this document is probably going to be out there for
10, given the way things go.
441
01:04:45.830 --> 01:04:51.499
Quinlan Conf Room: And they're not, they're just going to look at the,
okay, the top 25, the top 50.
442
01:04:52.020 --> 01:04:58.520
Quinlan Conf Room: They're just going to stay with that. That's how it
works, even though you tell me differently.
443
01:04:58.720 --> 01:05:18.050
Quinlan Conf Room: And the scoring criteria again was established, based
on the comments we got from this body, the planning commission, and
ultimately the direction that was provided from Council. So the project
lists reflects what the Council has decided on how they want to score
projects. And I do believe we actually also moved the needle on that just
on our
444
01:05:18.250 --> 01:05:30.179
Quinlan Conf Room: most recent review, where we… we were the one
actually… we were the body actually pushing for getting those corridors
better ranking by deprioritizing some of the school priorities. So… so I
think
445
01:05:30.180 --> 01:05:42.250
Quinlan Conf Room: there's never a perfect scoring, let's put it that
way. I mean, I think we can… we can change it again, and we can change it
again and again, and I think there will be always some areas where, oh,
my project is just not in the list there. I think the…
446
01:05:42.250 --> 01:05:48.740
Quinlan Conf Room: this is a pretty good plan. I honestly believe this is
a… this is… with all the constraints that we're working on.
447
01:05:48.760 --> 01:05:59.530
Quinlan Conf Room: we have put a lot of effort into this plan over the
last year and a half, and I feel like we are at this point ready where we
need to say, let's call this a plan.
448
01:05:59.620 --> 01:06:19.210
Quinlan Conf Room: it has, especially the disclaimer where it says,
projects do not have to be ordered in execution in in the way they are.
So I think it's it's probably time for starting actually implementing.
And this, in my opinion, is the time now, because I think the Council
meeting is coming up in September.
449
01:06:19.400 --> 01:06:36.920
Quinlan Conf Room: if we… if we don't necessarily get this approved, we
probably miss the September, and then probably gonna miss the year, I
guess. One, I mean, make a comment, right? So, one possibility to kind of
address some of the current concerns… I think the whole idea of the
pedestrian
450
01:06:36.980 --> 01:06:42.620
Quinlan Conf Room: being given priority is by design, right? Because if
you look at it, the first time when…
451
01:06:42.860 --> 01:06:50.549
Quinlan Conf Room: the staff put together this plan and got the input
from the community, including the Bicycle Bicycle Commission.
452
01:06:51.260 --> 01:06:59.590
Quinlan Conf Room: we wanted to prioritize that. The input was like, you
know, pedestrian safety should be prioritized first, and so that's good
that that's reflected in the plan now.
453
01:06:59.930 --> 01:07:05.190
Quinlan Conf Room: Regarding the high-injury network revisions, you know,
that was also set at that time, as well.
454
01:07:05.190 --> 01:07:20.820
Quinlan Conf Room: One possi- so it's not exactly mapping the Vision Zero
network, so one possibility is similar to how you have this technology
corridor map. It's possible to put that high-injury corridor map as well,
in the plan, or you provide a reference back to the Vision Zero plan.
455
01:07:20.820 --> 01:07:26.319
Quinlan Conf Room: Many of the other cities who have done this ATP, or
they call it as a bicycle pedestrian plan.
456
01:07:26.320 --> 01:07:30.119
Quinlan Conf Room: They have kind of shown that Vision Zero.
457
01:07:30.150 --> 01:07:38.450
Quinlan Conf Room: high injury corridors are also part of the, you know,
the active transportation plan, right? So that way, when in future, when
the
458
01:07:38.720 --> 01:07:51.259
Quinlan Conf Room: Council is picking up projects, like, out of this dot,
map, right? They could prioritize, like… like, how you're showing
technology corridors, similarly, high-energy corridors will be shown as
well, and they could…
459
01:07:51.430 --> 01:07:56.449
Quinlan Conf Room: Pick projects and the proximity of those corridors, or
on the corridor itself.
460
01:07:56.680 --> 01:08:08.230
Quinlan Conf Room: That's one way of addressing this problem. I can show
some of the other cities, ATPs, which specifically follow the high-energy
network. Yeah. So you're envisioning a…
461
01:08:08.250 --> 01:08:24.969
Quinlan Conf Room: a page that contains the… just as a reference? As a
reference material, exactly, I'm showing. That way, you know, somebody's
taking up this plan, we'll… they're not adding any new data, it's
basically data, a reference from the other document. Is that a… is it
feasible?
462
01:08:25.040 --> 01:08:30.480
Quinlan Conf Room: It's a recommendation. Yeah, the plan includes the
high injury network as a map.
463
01:08:32.100 --> 01:08:44.190
Quinlan Conf Room: Is that what's being proposed here? Yeah, just showing
the high injury network. Yeah, so that's already in the plan. That is on
page… it's early in the document,
464
01:08:46.600 --> 01:08:50.830
Quinlan Conf Room: For the recommended network, you can also bring that
in if you want. That's another…
465
01:08:53.229 --> 01:08:57.179
Quinlan Conf Room: High injury network. Yeah, it's here on page 34.
466
01:08:58.250 --> 01:08:59.610
Quinlan Conf Room: Yep. Yep.
467
01:09:01.359 --> 01:09:12.939
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah. So it is. It is here. It can be referenced as
well. Yeah. So if you wanted to put that as a recommended one of your
recommended paradigms, we could also highlight this one, this page.
468
01:09:13.090 --> 01:09:14.840
Quinlan Conf Room: So that will kind of address…
469
01:09:15.220 --> 01:09:21.239
Quinlan Conf Room: some of the concerns raised by the provisional mesh
there.
470
01:09:32.710 --> 01:09:49.269
Quinlan Conf Room: It's referenced somewhere. Yeah, this reference here
on page 33 talks about that here. By focusing on these high risk areas,
the city can more effectively prioritize safety improvements and allocate
resources where they will have the greatest impact.
471
01:09:50.770 --> 01:10:04.359
Quinlan Conf Room: It's on page 33, 33, and 34. Yeah, we also have the
Improving Safety, that page also highlights ADP provides a framework to
turn the high-energy network locations in. So I feel like this is already
covered.
472
01:10:07.550 --> 01:10:08.580
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay.
473
01:10:09.140 --> 01:10:20.300
Quinlan Conf Room: Anything else, folks, anything else we should be
covering? I have a question on the table on page 88.
474
01:10:20.790 --> 01:10:23.669
Quinlan Conf Room: So, some of these projects have
475
01:10:24.170 --> 01:10:30.029
Quinlan Conf Room: multiple options, like, you know, separated and
buffered by VIN and stuff like that, right? We could take…
476
01:10:30.270 --> 01:10:33.180
Quinlan Conf Room: 68 and 69. Okay.
477
01:10:33.350 --> 01:10:35.980
Quinlan Conf Room: They have two options, right? So…
478
01:10:36.610 --> 01:10:46.470
Quinlan Conf Room: I'm I'm just trying to see. You know how to interpret
this data. Right? So yeah, that what you're referring to. Yeah, like, you
know, if you take
479
01:10:46.680 --> 01:10:58.279
Quinlan Conf Room: 62, right? Separated by pave, and then buffered by
pave, one below the other, right? Does it mean, you know, both are
options for that
480
01:10:58.770 --> 01:11:00.180
Quinlan Conf Room: Look, that's sweet.
481
01:11:00.900 --> 01:11:09.509
Quinlan Conf Room: No, these are referencing different projects. So going
back said 62. Yeah.
482
01:11:10.670 --> 01:11:26.950
Quinlan Conf Room: Project number 62. Okay, yeah. So that's for the
Blaney corridor. Yeah, it would be a combination of separated bike lane,
which is what's shown on network map. So that would be separated over I-
280.
483
01:11:27.060 --> 01:11:30.440
Quinlan Conf Room: buffer for the remaining stretch. Okay, yeah.
484
01:11:30.540 --> 01:11:37.389
Quinlan Conf Room: So… and then there's some, you know, purely just
separated by key, right? So… and, like…
485
01:11:38.400 --> 01:11:42.690
Quinlan Conf Room: Go down, right, that would be… 69.
486
01:11:44.350 --> 01:11:47.369
Quinlan Conf Room: There's, like, 92 each of them.
487
01:11:47.610 --> 01:11:49.910
Quinlan Conf Room: Just so separate, and 94…
488
01:11:50.080 --> 01:12:00.750
Quinlan Conf Room: only separated by… so… so that means that's the only
option for that road? Is that what it means? No, that means that's the
recommended option. Okay, okay.
489
01:12:04.520 --> 01:12:07.899
Quinlan Conf Room: Excellent. Thank you. Anything else.
490
01:12:08.490 --> 01:12:09.959
Quinlan Conf Room: on the plan.
491
01:12:10.670 --> 01:12:16.620
Quinlan Conf Room: So, in the recommended actions, right, is there any
reference back to the, the Vision Zero partners?
492
01:12:17.320 --> 01:12:21.660
Quinlan Conf Room: I see that, you know, where you have page 34, there
is…
493
01:12:21.990 --> 01:12:26.349
Quinlan Conf Room: Our goal, our objective, saying that these are the
areas that can be prioritized.
494
01:12:27.030 --> 01:12:32.300
Quinlan Conf Room: but as part of your recommendation, do we also state
the same thing?
495
01:12:32.880 --> 01:12:37.820
Quinlan Conf Room: It's within the prioritization metrics, so… the…
496
01:12:38.050 --> 01:12:41.410
Quinlan Conf Room: Category that was weighted most heavily is the…
497
01:12:41.520 --> 01:12:47.919
Quinlan Conf Room: high injury network. So it's 30 points. If the project
is on the high injury network and
498
01:12:48.390 --> 01:12:55.420
Quinlan Conf Room: Reduced scoring, I forget if it's 10 or 20, if it's
within 1,000 feet Okay.
499
01:12:56.730 --> 01:13:01.939
Quinlan Conf Room: For some reason, some of those corridors, the projects
fell, fell down on the, on the run.
500
01:13:02.100 --> 01:13:03.670
Quinlan Conf Room: Everything's tied up, yeah.
501
01:13:03.830 --> 01:13:21.869
Quinlan Conf Room: And part of it is probably because some of those may
take away parking and have some impact on that which again was one of the
criteria we developed over time, so that probably may have balanced it
out a little bit with the priority versus the the cost, so to say. Yeah.
502
01:13:22.450 --> 01:13:29.850
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, but it's true, I think it's… the information is
there, as we said, right? Even though in the past plans, like, there are
multiple tiers and so on.
503
01:13:30.230 --> 01:13:37.220
Quinlan Conf Room: not necessarily the Council made decisions just based
on that. Sometimes projects in Tier 3 were proven
504
01:13:37.400 --> 01:13:41.970
Quinlan Conf Room: As well, so… I think this gives a good balance of
505
01:13:42.670 --> 01:13:46.130
Quinlan Conf Room: You know, the ranking, and…
506
01:13:47.820 --> 01:13:55.680
Quinlan Conf Room: But at least we have enough information in order for
the councils to pick the projects or cluster the projects as needed.
507
01:13:56.890 --> 01:14:08.220
Quinlan Conf Room: There'll not be anything perfect. Like, maybe if you
go now, go and change the scoring a little bit, now something else will
fall apart. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, I don't know whether we can make it
perfect. Yeah.
508
01:14:08.690 --> 01:14:27.529
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, I agree. I mean. I agree with you know,
Commissioner Gunga's sentiment like, really, look at you know our city
like, are there more walkers? Are there more bikers? A lot of people.
Right? Yes, there are a few bikers. Yes, you know, like myself.
509
01:14:27.750 --> 01:14:32.670
Quinlan Conf Room: we want to make it safe for everyone, but I think, you
know, the way it turned out, you know.
510
01:14:32.840 --> 01:14:35.219
Quinlan Conf Room: A lot of part of this, I'm walking.
511
01:14:35.760 --> 01:14:39.200
Quinlan Conf Room: I'm pretty happy with that in terms of, like, if we
get that slot.
512
01:14:39.320 --> 01:14:42.739
Quinlan Conf Room: Or maybe he does, and he will… I mean, we
513
01:14:43.380 --> 01:14:58.319
Quinlan Conf Room: I mean, we may wish for, you know, everybody working
in Apple, you know, we want them to come and buy. Our wish is one thing,
but it's, you know, what we want to do is different, right? So, at the
end of the day, you know, we have to work within the framework of, you
know, what people want.
514
01:14:58.900 --> 01:14:59.840
Quinlan Conf Room: So.
515
01:15:00.650 --> 01:15:08.480
Quinlan Conf Room: And and I think you know, there's a lot more people
that walk, and you know, in our city, and gotta make it safe for them.
516
01:15:10.530 --> 01:15:16.579
Quinlan Conf Room: I'm actually quite encouraged about the plan, to be
honest. I've read it probably twice from the front to the back,
517
01:15:16.810 --> 01:15:18.790
Quinlan Conf Room: And yes.
518
01:15:19.070 --> 01:15:34.239
Quinlan Conf Room: it's a plan. It's not… never gonna be perfect. There's
gonna be… can probably spend another year on it, and it's gonna be
incrementally smaller, better, but I think the key is just to start
implementing. I think that's the real… so that's why…
519
01:15:34.460 --> 01:15:36.819
Quinlan Conf Room: I'm looking for a motion.
520
01:15:36.960 --> 01:15:38.000
Quinlan Conf Room: Good thing.
521
01:15:38.150 --> 01:15:50.889
Quinlan Conf Room: this plan, or actually to recommend. Before we do
that, I'd like to. We have a motion to remove the back, the neighborhood
back routes projects from this.
522
01:15:51.030 --> 01:15:51.830
Quinlan Conf Room: No.
523
01:15:53.800 --> 01:15:55.539
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, that's the most.
524
01:15:59.360 --> 01:16:15.199
Quinlan Conf Room: I'm struggling with that. Yeah, I don't see a reason
why something's removed, like, because it says… There's gonna be some
other artifacts that are coming out, so let's, when we remove those.
525
01:16:15.210 --> 01:16:24.550
Quinlan Conf Room: Then we're gonna have back to the discussion board and
say, Oh, now, this project went the wrong order. So now we need to do
that. I think it's like, you know, if we remove it.
526
01:16:24.740 --> 01:16:34.680
Quinlan Conf Room: So does it prioritize something else higher? Is that
why it's not prioritizing higher, or is it removing stuff that does not
serve a real purpose?
527
01:16:35.060 --> 01:16:42.600
Quinlan Conf Room: Thank you. It's because money doesn't solve a problem
to me. To me that that sounds like not a good value proposition.
528
01:16:42.980 --> 01:16:53.209
Quinlan Conf Room: But there's no harm in having it, right? It's up to
us, you know, which one we implement, right? The council… anything that
costs money will come to the bike commission, as well as, you know.
529
01:16:53.370 --> 01:17:09.239
Quinlan Conf Room: city council for approval. Right? So it's at the
discretion of the future commissions and council to take up those
projects around. Then, if you say, well, that's that cost money and
doesn't matter. Then you can take that pretty far in terms of
530
01:17:09.310 --> 01:17:18.389
Quinlan Conf Room: spending of the city out there. I think what we want
is the city to, you know, use the money as wisely as possible.
531
01:17:18.660 --> 01:17:30.940
Quinlan Conf Room: And it's just not the case with this neighborhood
background, unless someone tells me that there is a use case for it, that
people either really need it or solve the problem right now.
532
01:17:30.940 --> 01:17:45.439
Quinlan Conf Room: just don't see it. I don't see the problem that it
solves, and I don't see the community benefit. I see the cost that it's
gonna, generate, not only in terms of building, but also in terms of
maintaining, because that type of stuff you have to do, and again,
project managing everything.
533
01:17:45.440 --> 01:18:03.819
Quinlan Conf Room: it's gonna it's it's gonna cost a significant amount
of money. There's a hidden cost. There's a front cost painting, asking
people from construction to come. But there's also the hidden cost and
the time of stuff that they're not gonna spend on meaningful projects. So
I don't. I don't really look at it as oh, I want to prioritize some other
project. It's just really that neighborhood.
534
01:18:03.890 --> 01:18:05.030
Quinlan Conf Room: routes.
535
01:18:05.170 --> 01:18:21.810
Quinlan Conf Room: to me to not look at an investment for the city that
brings anything. Can you give me an example of that? Like, you know, I'm
trying to look for an example. That's not a neighborhood bike project
that costs a lot, but not to so many. But just give me an example.
536
01:18:22.050 --> 01:18:37.839
Quinlan Conf Room: Well, I think, as I said, it's like, if you want to
build it, you have to have someone from the staff to work on it, project
manage it, you're gonna have, like, resources, time that's allocated to
that. So already you start with that, then you have the construction
phase, and it's like…
537
01:18:37.840 --> 01:18:49.650
Quinlan Conf Room: There is 68 of them. So if you multiply that by 68,
it's quite a long way. If I could just make a pitch, just throw it out
there. I think what it does.
538
01:18:50.030 --> 01:18:58.119
Quinlan Conf Room: I think it's important to have a plan that appeals to
all ages and abilities at various levels, and
539
01:18:58.520 --> 01:19:04.500
Quinlan Conf Room: whereas I agree the importance of focusing on, you
know, improving the corridors.
540
01:19:04.630 --> 01:19:11.390
Quinlan Conf Room: The major corridors, there's a segment of the
population, a young segment, I see them on their bikes with their
parents.
541
01:19:11.600 --> 01:19:12.540
Quinlan Conf Room: that…
542
01:19:12.920 --> 01:19:21.340
Quinlan Conf Room: want to ride through the neighborhoods, and this is
how kids learn. You're not gonna… you're not gonna put your 5-year-old on
Stevens Creek Boulevard, no matter how safe
543
01:19:21.740 --> 01:19:25.100
Quinlan Conf Room: And I think encouraging the younger generation.
544
01:19:25.260 --> 01:19:34.640
Quinlan Conf Room: And maybe we need to think about how we make these
bike boulevards appeal to folks a little better if they're not being
adequately used.
545
01:19:34.640 --> 01:19:48.960
Quinlan Conf Room: But I think having a network that is available and
accessible, appealing to the families, the younger kids, will help foster
them to grow into people that will be more likely to get out on the
546
01:19:48.990 --> 01:19:58.220
Quinlan Conf Room: major streets as the… No, I get that part, right?
Definitely, no, but I'm just looking for an example where, you know, a
neighborhood bike
547
01:19:58.310 --> 01:20:05.510
Quinlan Conf Room: plan or a route that was implemented, which cost us a
lot of money and not serving the purpose. I'm looking for an example.
548
01:20:05.800 --> 01:20:08.510
Quinlan Conf Room: If we don't have an example, Daniel.
549
01:20:09.360 --> 01:20:12.619
Quinlan Conf Room: They're not saying, you know, we're going to go do all
these projects.
550
01:20:12.940 --> 01:20:25.470
Quinlan Conf Room: It's there as an option you want to pursue. So some of
these… I can give some examples, right? So when you say neighborhood,
right, these are typically residential neighborhoods where
551
01:20:25.680 --> 01:20:33.649
Quinlan Conf Room: We're encouraging people to, for the, as, as David was
saying, like, Anglo-Saxon kids to buy.
552
01:20:33.910 --> 01:20:40.389
Quinlan Conf Room: Typically, like, these are also identified in Safe
Route School as a preferred bike routes to school.
553
01:20:40.930 --> 01:20:42.360
Quinlan Conf Room: That's another thing.
554
01:20:42.710 --> 01:20:56.979
Quinlan Conf Room: And also, in some cases, like in Portal, for example,
you could also employ common methods. Class 3 bike routes are something
that's already given in the state plan, class 1, 2, 3, how to implement,
and so on. This one is a shared
555
01:20:57.100 --> 01:21:09.010
Quinlan Conf Room: But, basically, the same prob will be shared by car
users, as well as, bike users, and even pedestrians, they are… we are… we
are sitting as pedestrian walkways. So…
556
01:21:09.700 --> 01:21:24.160
Quinlan Conf Room: But, you know, on top of it, if you want, if you think
that certain, neighborhood, route is not safer, you could have calming
mechanisms, like, you know, I think the price avenue has something,
right? Speed tables.
557
01:21:24.160 --> 01:21:30.520
Quinlan Conf Room: And then on portal that we have some curve extensions
which will slow down the cars.
558
01:21:30.520 --> 01:21:38.519
Quinlan Conf Room: So, make it safer. So, if you think that, you know,
Vincent's projects are coming up to… in front of the council, and if they
believe that, you know, some of the streets are
559
01:21:38.520 --> 01:21:45.179
Quinlan Conf Room: you know, safer, they can have such common methods as
well. Nobody stops us from doing that.
560
01:21:45.560 --> 01:21:50.160
Quinlan Conf Room: So I think it's still valuable to keep it, and most of
these
561
01:21:50.360 --> 01:21:53.220
Quinlan Conf Room: You know, neighborhood bike roads are already marked.
562
01:21:53.470 --> 01:22:06.819
Quinlan Conf Room: and in use. There's no reason to go and remove those
things. One thing is, nothing prevents us. I think what you mentioned
about the streets and, you know, the schools.
563
01:22:07.090 --> 01:22:22.840
Quinlan Conf Room: assigning certain, you know, routes as being safer
for… you don't need a… you don't need a neighborhood background, like an
official one, to make that happen. You can make that happen no matter
what. So I think, yeah, it's…
564
01:22:23.020 --> 01:22:29.979
Quinlan Conf Room: It's just. And if you want to do that projects about,
you know, using this bit of cars on that. That's great.
565
01:22:30.370 --> 01:22:40.520
Quinlan Conf Room: way to do that at the intersection level, that's
already in there. I'm talking about the streets, which are, you know,
some streets, even though they're neighborhood streets.
566
01:22:41.060 --> 01:22:54.460
Quinlan Conf Room: Auto will somehow take those streets as a shortcut or
whatever reason. And so those streets, there are potential for us to, you
know, make it safer by having speed coming, you know, methods.
567
01:22:54.780 --> 01:23:00.620
Quinlan Conf Room: And that's basically what I'm saying. There's no
reason to really take it out, and, you know, in future, if the project
comes up.
568
01:23:01.160 --> 01:23:03.320
Quinlan Conf Room: Staff will recommend, if…
569
01:23:03.910 --> 01:23:23.190
Quinlan Conf Room: that streets needs such kind of street coming message,
or you just need to put signs or something like that. There's one thing
also coming back to to your point about removing the one that are there
now. I'm not advocating for that. Obviously, if it's here, it's here,
we're not gonna change it, but it's creating something new. And again,
like somebody, many of these routes.
570
01:23:23.190 --> 01:23:35.780
Quinlan Conf Room: I think the benefit is just very low for the… for
whatever investment. I think we are overstating the problem here. I think
we're overstating the cost as well. So, we have a motion on the table. Do
we have a second for the motion?
571
01:23:35.850 --> 01:23:36.750
Quinlan Conf Room: Second.
572
01:23:37.130 --> 01:23:38.220
Quinlan Conf Room: Let's do it.
573
01:23:40.300 --> 01:23:46.000
Quinlan Conf Room: On this motion for the motion is to remove the
neighborhood backlogs.
574
01:23:46.660 --> 01:23:49.430
Quinlan Conf Room: In the list of projects, as an option.
575
01:23:50.700 --> 01:24:03.849
Quinlan Conf Room: Good vote on this? Yep. On the motion on the table,
how do you vote? Chair Ashbach? No. Vice Chair Manipala? No. Commissioner
Ganga? No. Mr. Marcy? Yes. Commissioner Wolf? Yes. Okay. Motion fails.
576
01:24:04.410 --> 01:24:09.140
Quinlan Conf Room: So looking for a motion to
577
01:24:09.430 --> 01:24:18.769
Quinlan Conf Room: get this to what is the right terminology to recommend
that the City Council adopt the transportation.
578
01:24:23.280 --> 01:24:25.639
Quinlan Conf Room: Do we have an issue with that?
579
01:24:27.820 --> 01:24:29.869
Quinlan Conf Room: And then, yes, alright.
580
01:24:30.540 --> 01:24:32.030
Quinlan Conf Room: I can recommend.
581
01:24:32.170 --> 01:24:35.990
Quinlan Conf Room: You moved to approve. Yeah, I moved up on that. Do we
have a second for that as well?
582
01:24:36.230 --> 01:24:45.130
Quinlan Conf Room: I'll second in a second with a proper motion with
proper second. Let's do a vote on resolution, please. Okay, for
583
01:24:45.240 --> 01:24:48.560
Quinlan Conf Room: the motion to recommend that the City Council adopt
the
584
01:24:48.880 --> 01:24:57.059
Quinlan Conf Room: Active Transportation Plan, how do you vote, Chair
Archuleta? Yes. Vice Chair Manipalo? Yes. Commissioner Ganga? Yes.
Commissioner Marcy?
585
01:24:57.710 --> 01:24:59.570
Quinlan Conf Room: I'm sure we'll no.
586
01:25:00.040 --> 01:25:03.050
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, motion passes 3, 1, abstention, 1, no.
587
01:25:03.770 --> 01:25:08.509
Quinlan Conf Room: Excellent, thank you so much for… Touching on it.
Super helpful.
588
01:25:09.570 --> 01:25:13.169
Quinlan Conf Room: I appreciate it, and hopefully the Council will be
able to
589
01:25:13.410 --> 01:25:17.140
Quinlan Conf Room: use the information from the Planning Commission's
notice.
590
01:25:17.370 --> 01:25:25.899
Quinlan Conf Room: by Commissioner. That closes the topic number 2 on the
agenda tonight brings us to our agenda. Item.
591
01:25:26.190 --> 01:25:32.869
Quinlan Conf Room: which is bicycle facilities improvement, and I think
we have a presentation on this topic as well.
592
01:26:22.800 --> 01:26:33.489
Quinlan Conf Room: Good evening, Chair and Commissioners. Myself,
Prashant Dillu, Assistant City of Copartino. Tonight, I'll be presenting
the item number 3, the Bicycle Facilities Program.
593
01:26:35.400 --> 01:26:50.019
Quinlan Conf Room: As a recap, during the May 20th, 2026 bicycle
pedestrian meeting, the commission unanimously agreed to divide the
proposed bike rack locations among the commissioners for review.
594
01:26:50.170 --> 01:27:03.129
Quinlan Conf Room: And each commissioner agreed to evaluate their
assigned locations and provide recommendations. The commission also
requested the staff to investigate a potential bike rack location
opportunities near the school sites.
595
01:27:04.410 --> 01:27:14.429
Quinlan Conf Room: and also return in July to discuss the next steps.
Tonight, staff is returning with the proposed locations for discussion
and to receive the Commission's recommendation.
596
01:27:17.000 --> 01:27:26.759
Quinlan Conf Room: This slide shows the table which summarizes the
proposed bike rack locations and also the evaluation criteria which has
been used.
597
01:27:26.760 --> 01:27:38.060
Quinlan Conf Room: to select this 24 location, and also this, this slide
identifies the… the locations where the bike rack has been already
installed. So, at that 4 locations, the bike rack has been already
installed.
598
01:27:38.100 --> 01:27:44.130
Quinlan Conf Room: And this slide also shows the locations which were
assigned to each for the review.
599
01:27:46.410 --> 01:27:53.549
Quinlan Conf Room: This slide shows all the proposed bike location, how
they are distributed throughout the city, which were supposed to be
reviewed by the commissioners.
600
01:27:55.640 --> 01:28:09.350
Quinlan Conf Room: The next steps, based upon tonight's discussion, CTE
will proceed with the installation at agreed-upon sites, and also staff
will return to BPC for further recommendations upon evaluation of the
cost versus budget.
601
01:28:11.170 --> 01:28:18.589
Quinlan Conf Room: This concludes my presentation. We'll be happy to hear
from you regarding your feedback on your review of the bike rack
locations.
602
01:28:19.250 --> 01:28:20.779
Quinlan Conf Room: Spreadsheet. Yeah.
603
01:28:21.470 --> 01:28:29.660
Quinlan Conf Room: So we've got the spreadsheet that had the locations
along with the assignments, and we populated it with the ones that we
know.
604
01:28:30.060 --> 01:28:37.510
Quinlan Conf Room: So, so… I'll go first, right? So, if you want to pull
up my email that I sent… Yeah.
605
01:28:38.110 --> 01:28:40.959
Quinlan Conf Room: They're popping up. David.
606
01:28:41.100 --> 01:28:44.669
Quinlan Conf Room: So, I'm happy to walk you through it.
607
01:28:45.020 --> 01:28:53.380
Quinlan Conf Room: Do you want the detailed email? Because we have
created this Excel sheet. Yeah, I also took some pictures right out of
one shot.
608
01:29:05.640 --> 01:29:12.099
Quinlan Conf Room: It's really cold in this room, actually. Yeah. Feels
like.
609
01:29:12.350 --> 01:29:14.670
Quinlan Conf Room: Feels good to me.
610
01:29:15.730 --> 01:29:24.330
Quinlan Conf Room: You can pull up the map, Google Maps, and I can move
off. Oh, you want me to? Okay, that would be easy. Yeah, that would be
easy, right? So go to Charlton Park.
611
01:29:24.630 --> 01:29:26.420
Quinlan Conf Room: Zoom in. Let me see.
612
01:29:27.560 --> 01:29:29.850
Quinlan Conf Room: That's one of the locations that I visited.
613
01:29:33.950 --> 01:29:39.650
Quinlan Conf Room: going off the Southern part. So Let's see.
614
01:29:39.790 --> 01:29:41.130
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, like that.
615
01:29:42.270 --> 01:29:44.100
Quinlan Conf Room: Richard, yeah.
616
01:29:44.940 --> 01:29:48.270
Quinlan Conf Room: So, I think… Zoom out a little bit.
617
01:29:48.930 --> 01:29:50.169
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, a little bit.
618
01:29:50.560 --> 01:29:55.790
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, so that's good, right? So so this is the
619
01:29:57.090 --> 01:30:01.850
Quinlan Conf Room: Can you smile a little bit? I want to see this area
part of it.
620
01:30:03.120 --> 01:30:03.900
Quinlan Conf Room: What?
621
01:30:05.400 --> 01:30:09.709
Quinlan Conf Room: This is the the new playground that we've been.
622
01:30:09.860 --> 01:30:16.080
Quinlan Conf Room: So then it's that by the time there's
623
01:30:16.190 --> 01:30:32.779
Quinlan Conf Room: there's a restroom that's built here, there is a bike
rack here, right? And that bike rack, it's not shown on this picture, but
it's there in the picture that I sent, right? So that one gets used
heavily, all the kits that come here. So first of all, since we built
this
624
01:30:32.800 --> 01:30:36.829
Quinlan Conf Room: Develop this park. This has become the busiest park.
625
01:30:37.040 --> 01:30:41.739
Quinlan Conf Room: like, this is my full, full block, so I go that video
off.
626
01:30:41.850 --> 01:30:59.790
Quinlan Conf Room: This used to be, you know, empty before, right? Since
we built this, all-inclusive park, this is the busiest space, you can't
find a parking spot. That's how busy. A lot of kids come biking, and they
hide their bike and go here. In those days, they want another bike rack
here.
627
01:31:01.140 --> 01:31:19.259
Quinlan Conf Room: So, it's similar to this. They want a bike rack
somewhere here. For all the kids that come from this side, they're coming
in the bikes. They all live in this area, right? They're coming in the
bikes. Right now, no, they're leaving the bikes on the trees and, you
know, on, you know, branches. They would like a bike rack, you know, on
this side of the…
628
01:31:19.490 --> 01:31:33.150
Quinlan Conf Room: You see, there's a massive ballpark here, they want a
bike rack somewhere here, similar to the one that we have there, right?
And it has to be, like, you know, the multiple bikes type of thing, not,
like, you know, one or two, right? There is…
629
01:31:33.660 --> 01:31:35.869
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, multiple bike racks.
630
01:31:35.990 --> 01:31:46.710
Quinlan Conf Room: So that's when the jelly will come. Of course, you
know, there were a bunch of other feedback that I got, you know, from
people that are walking there, so they definitely want, you know, these
walkways, you know, wider.
631
01:31:46.820 --> 01:32:03.640
Quinlan Conf Room: But there's a lot of that thing, right? Because it's
also, you know, people fight on that, and there's a lot of, you know,
pollution, and also they want benches. So there are some benches there,
where the people that are really, you know, walking the path are really,
really, you know, elderly people, and they can't… they cannot come full
ground.
632
01:32:03.640 --> 01:32:18.799
Quinlan Conf Room: So they want to sit, they want benches along the way,
but they also want, you know, this walkway extended around, you know, the
dog park, right? Because it's not… the dogs are not always there, so they
want to be able to go for a longer route.
633
01:32:18.830 --> 01:32:27.710
Quinlan Conf Room: Right? So that's a request, so I put that, all of
that, in the email. Right? So, so that's on Charlieman, right? You go to
the Wilson Park.
634
01:32:27.890 --> 01:32:29.909
Quinlan Conf Room: So my recommendation is, yes.
635
01:32:30.080 --> 01:32:36.630
Quinlan Conf Room: installed by that spot that I was showing, basically,
in this area, for the kids that come from this site.
636
01:32:37.400 --> 01:32:46.799
Quinlan Conf Room: I'm sorry I'm confused about the format. Are we going
to talk about every location for every Commissioner tonight, or I think
so. Yeah. Can you go to the Wilson Park?
637
01:33:00.070 --> 01:33:04.739
Quinlan Conf Room: Right? Yeah. So here.
638
01:33:04.930 --> 01:33:17.049
Quinlan Conf Room: A lot of kids that come here, they come biking, and
there is a demand for, you know, a multi-bike ride in this area. I spoke
with kids, you know, that are
639
01:33:17.230 --> 01:33:34.329
Quinlan Conf Room: like, basketball there. They say, no, yeah, they all
come biking, and, you know, they just, you know, drop the bike, you know,
put it on, slant the… right? There is a bike rack next to the… multiple
bike racks, you know, next to the baseballs, but that is not getting used
at all.
640
01:33:34.470 --> 01:33:38.210
Quinlan Conf Room: But I don't think anybody wants to park the bike there
and walk here.
641
01:33:38.480 --> 01:33:55.509
Quinlan Conf Room: they really want to get up to the spot, and, you know,
be able to, you know, leave a bike in the vicinity, and then, you know,
play and take a bike. So there is a need for a bike rack in this area, so
I would recommend, you know, installing a bike rack there.
642
01:33:55.800 --> 01:33:59.690
Quinlan Conf Room: Can you go to the Starbucks?
643
01:34:09.550 --> 01:34:10.680
Quinlan Conf Room: It was April.
644
01:34:19.390 --> 01:34:20.060
Quinlan Conf Room: Sweet.
645
01:34:22.450 --> 01:34:30.730
Quinlan Conf Room: I think this is Starbucks. This is the Starbucks
coffee company. So, I spoke to the staff on, you know, some of the
people.
646
01:34:30.830 --> 01:34:48.049
Quinlan Conf Room: They say that, you know, a lot of, because it's bike,
they get a lot of bike traffic. They stop at the Starbucks to get a
coffee or a pastry or something like that. They don't have a place to,
right? So there's a wooden structure here. They are now hanging on tie
into that structure, right?
647
01:34:48.050 --> 01:35:03.700
Quinlan Conf Room: So, we want a bike ride somewhere here that's visible,
right? Where, you know, they can sit inside and they don't want to keep a
watch on the bike, and, you know, enjoy their coffee at least, right? So,
there is a need for a bike ride.
648
01:35:03.820 --> 01:35:08.900
Quinlan Conf Room: Meeting around this, you know, Starbucks, right? That
makes great sense, you know. Yeah.
649
01:35:09.140 --> 01:35:14.839
Quinlan Conf Room: There are a lot of bikers that come there because it's
on the open. It's a very popular spot for bikers. Yeah.
650
01:35:14.990 --> 01:35:17.859
Quinlan Conf Room: And the fourth spot that, you know.
651
01:35:17.920 --> 01:35:21.159
Quinlan Conf Room: Right? I spoke to all the shops there.
652
01:35:21.220 --> 01:35:28.619
Quinlan Conf Room: They don't see a need for no bike racks. That's, you
know, on the, De Anza and McClellan Road.
653
01:35:28.620 --> 01:35:41.509
Quinlan Conf Room: Junction, and the Leo, Adobe, and, you know, I spoke
to five of those shops, and in fact, you know, there is a bike rack, you
know, between those shops, and it's not getting used enough. So, you
know, I wouldn't recommend, you know, a bike rack there
654
01:35:42.640 --> 01:35:43.540
Quinlan Conf Room: Great.
655
01:35:44.140 --> 01:35:46.110
Quinlan Conf Room: That's awesome. Thank you.
656
01:35:47.350 --> 01:35:48.610
Quinlan Conf Room: Next.
657
01:35:49.260 --> 01:35:50.610
Quinlan Conf Room: Thank you. Billings.
658
01:35:54.640 --> 01:35:55.640
Quinlan Conf Room: So…
659
01:35:57.660 --> 01:36:11.169
Quinlan Conf Room: I can pull the Excel sheet, if you want. Yeah. So
which of the numbers did you recommend, Moni, for, just for the people,
keep a record, which are the numbers of… It's in my email, I need a copy
of the mail also. Okay.
660
01:36:14.280 --> 01:36:18.380
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, I'll start with the one that I recommend, so
let's start with the 5.
661
01:36:19.800 --> 01:36:26.420
Quinlan Conf Room: regard regarded many. I already had transported this
into the mix. Thank you.
662
01:36:26.840 --> 01:36:31.920
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, I didn't send you anything, but I can give you
the input now Number 5.
663
01:36:32.510 --> 01:36:33.789
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, number 5.
664
01:36:34.430 --> 01:36:40.889
Quinlan Conf Room: So the 5-feet radiator, that's actually on the, you
know, 19800, Valco Parkway.
665
01:36:48.890 --> 01:36:49.680
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay.
666
01:36:52.240 --> 01:36:56.970
Quinlan Conf Room: pull from them. Appreciate the Google Maps. Certainly.
667
01:37:08.090 --> 01:37:08.800
Quinlan Conf Room: Yep.
668
01:37:11.740 --> 01:37:13.580
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, so there's no objection.
669
01:37:15.930 --> 01:37:17.650
Quinlan Conf Room: Let me show this.
670
01:37:18.650 --> 01:37:26.590
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah. So this is somewhere here like, yeah, keep
going. And then
671
01:37:27.330 --> 01:37:30.320
Quinlan Conf Room: The 19, 8, 8, 800. We'll see.
672
01:37:30.810 --> 01:37:32.639
Quinlan Conf Room: Possibly. And those.
673
01:37:34.520 --> 01:37:35.420
Quinlan Conf Room: Right.
674
01:37:39.370 --> 01:37:56.880
Quinlan Conf Room: somewhere here. Yeah. So you could see the trash can
here. There is a possibility for having next to next to the trash can.
There's some space here. Yes. So yeah, exactly. Yeah. So there is a
possibility to have.
675
01:37:57.150 --> 01:37:58.779
Quinlan Conf Room: By last year.
676
01:37:58.860 --> 01:38:16.720
Quinlan Conf Room: And also, ideally, you say that, you know, it needs to
be in front of the, business. That's one of the criteria. But right now,
there are no businesses here, retail businesses. The retail businesses
are either on the other side of the, entrance to the apartment complex,
or…
677
01:38:16.720 --> 01:38:25.320
Quinlan Conf Room: Or it's a condo complex. And then on the other side,
similarly, there are some retail places there. So some matcha.
678
01:38:25.390 --> 01:38:33.430
Quinlan Conf Room: Latte place and some ice cream places, they don't have
the same, but nothing directly. But this is the only place that where you
could have it.
679
01:38:33.440 --> 01:38:45.830
Quinlan Conf Room: This one doesn't make sense, this is just an entrance,
and also there is an accessibility here, so I wouldn't recommend to place
the bike lap onto this side, but this one seems to be on… away from the…
680
01:38:46.570 --> 01:38:50.660
Quinlan Conf Room: Rest of the trash cans. Right, right. So that's… this
is…
681
01:38:50.850 --> 01:38:54.810
Quinlan Conf Room: one place. I yeah, sorry. So so.
682
01:38:55.190 --> 01:39:01.829
Quinlan Conf Room: How… if you put a bike rack that's, you know, away
from, you know, where people want to go.
683
01:39:02.060 --> 01:39:16.259
Quinlan Conf Room: how much we think, you know, that we can… Yeah, so one
thing I found out is parking is… I was trying to go on, you know, park
there, and very hard, like, I had to do two circles around before I can
even get a parking space, and…
684
01:39:16.260 --> 01:39:24.349
Quinlan Conf Room: That was a challenge in this place. That is true for
anyone coming to those retail outlets, so it's possible that, you know,
kids who want to come there.
685
01:39:24.780 --> 01:39:31.459
Quinlan Conf Room: They have access to bikes, then they could bring their
bikes to these places, right?
686
01:39:31.620 --> 01:39:45.900
Quinlan Conf Room: But the challenge is exactly what you said. You can
park there, but you can't unfortunately see right in front of the
business, and there are two empty, spots in there. There's a potential
that in future, maybe some retail
687
01:39:46.510 --> 01:39:51.290
Quinlan Conf Room: and otherwise rent it to some retail, outlet. There's
a possibility, but right now, I don't
688
01:39:51.870 --> 01:39:57.390
Quinlan Conf Room: all the eateries where I see a lot of people going
there, they're all available.
689
01:39:57.520 --> 01:40:06.060
Quinlan Conf Room: And we don't have enough… we don't have space for bike
racks in front of those places. Yeah, yeah, I… my…
690
01:40:06.190 --> 01:40:24.330
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, I don't want us to waste money on things. If you
don't want, then we can skip this. This is the first one. Then let me go
to… Are you okay with that? So you're saying no to this location? Yeah.
Okay. I'm just giving you… Why are we talking about all four of them and
we come back to this one for you? Okay.
691
01:40:25.190 --> 01:40:25.970
Quinlan Conf Room: Yes.
692
01:40:26.330 --> 01:40:31.530
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, and then the second one is, let's go in front
of,
693
01:40:33.890 --> 01:40:42.349
Quinlan Conf Room: The Lazy Dog, no, let's finish this area and then go
to the Student Street. The Lazy Dog driveway, east of Student Street.
694
01:41:03.610 --> 01:41:17.469
Quinlan Conf Room: So, yeah, you start seeing this side, right? So here,
this one, over here. That's next to the straw, right? That's it. Right
now, that straw is, not, yeah, it's right in front of us, right? So…
695
01:41:18.280 --> 01:41:32.659
Quinlan Conf Room: I mean, we can't have bike racks closer to this, you
know, so it has to be away from it, and then if you go away from it,
there's nothing in there. There's no retail outlets, nothing, and it's…
if you look at it, this whole thing is nicely tailed, you know.
696
01:41:32.660 --> 01:41:41.080
Quinlan Conf Room: And where do you park? You would park maybe in one of
these places, and nothing, nowhere to go. So I don't think the bikers
will use it here.
697
01:41:41.390 --> 01:41:51.589
Quinlan Conf Room: Ideally, all the retail outlets are on the other side.
So I wouldn't recommend anything in that location.
698
01:41:52.230 --> 01:41:56.849
Quinlan Conf Room: Come back when you are on Stevens Creek, can you get,
next to Lazy Dog?
699
01:41:59.410 --> 01:42:12.979
Quinlan Conf Room: There's an exit here. There is an exit, yeah. This is
a walkway through the Main Street complex. Can you go on the street
that's on the right? Can you go in? Yeah.
700
01:42:15.030 --> 01:42:29.669
Quinlan Conf Room: this lazy dog next to the straw. I thought, means on
the other side. But this is also this is lazy dog. Yeah, that's what I'm
talking about. So so can you go into inside the driver? Yeah, yeah,
exactly.
701
01:42:30.450 --> 01:42:44.089
Quinlan Conf Room: because there is a bike rack on the right here. If
you're talking about lazy, not specifically. Yeah, on the right. Here
there's a bike rack. There's a bike rack here. Yeah, yeah. And do you
know if it's getting used?
702
01:42:44.550 --> 01:43:00.479
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, it's used because you have employees that are
using it, but generally it's used, yeah. So maybe the idea is to put one,
if possible, on the series, where if you turn around, it's literally 180
degrees.
703
01:43:00.690 --> 01:43:08.850
Quinlan Conf Room: You will see the byproduct on the other side. So this
would have to be coordinated with
704
01:43:09.530 --> 01:43:30.200
Quinlan Conf Room: property owner. So if I think the best I encourage the
business owner, if they have their facilities, they can put bike racks
wherever they want. Yeah, if they see a need and they see a lot of
clients coming, they'll probably not do it themselves. I was wondering if
that was the city's right of way over there.
705
01:43:30.250 --> 01:43:39.250
Quinlan Conf Room: I was mainly looking at the cities, right, of where
I'm at. It's on the main street. The main road, yeah. On the main road,
the city's right away. Which number was it? Number…
706
01:43:39.580 --> 01:43:43.290
Quinlan Conf Room: The number for that one was 2, actually, number 2.
707
01:43:43.710 --> 01:43:45.149
Quinlan Conf Room: No, you know, but…
708
01:43:49.160 --> 01:43:52.979
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, and the third one is actually northwest of,
709
01:43:53.090 --> 01:43:56.560
Quinlan Conf Room: Stevens Street Boulevard on, Stevens Street and
710
01:43:57.320 --> 01:43:59.830
Quinlan Conf Room: It's actually right in front of Apple's facility.
711
01:44:04.430 --> 01:44:16.410
Quinlan Conf Room: Do you think the employees don't want to talk about
it? No, they have, I mean, I'll come to that. They already have bike rack
on their entrance to the building. Entrance to the building is not from
the… So this was near the…
712
01:44:16.600 --> 01:44:20.210
Quinlan Conf Room: Which intersection? The whole? Steel Street and the
answer.
713
01:44:25.230 --> 01:44:33.819
Quinlan Conf Room: which building is not going to fall. Yeah, Northwest
Park, right? So it's Yeah, let's see.
714
01:44:35.880 --> 01:44:39.269
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, this one, this one. So, that's it.
715
01:44:39.470 --> 01:44:57.200
Quinlan Conf Room: there's a potential to have bike racks in one of these
places, like under under the tree. The only challenge is like, if you can
look at it like the walk, the pedestrian walkway. I do not know how much
where the city strike off. We stops on where the building is. There's no
clear
716
01:44:57.540 --> 01:45:05.730
Quinlan Conf Room: There's no sidewalk there, huh? There's no sidewalk
there. I think people are also using the sidewalk, you know, closer to
the building.
717
01:45:05.780 --> 01:45:20.640
Quinlan Conf Room: But the challenge… that one is, like… We've got 10
feet along. What is that? How many… 10 feet behind the face of the curve
is the city's right of it. Which is… the 10 feet from here? Yes. Oh, then
which means that you don't have enough space to have bike lanes, it has
to be right on…
718
01:45:21.140 --> 01:45:36.180
Quinlan Conf Room: You know, facing. Within 10 feet. Within the 10 feet.
And, and also people, if you go that way, a lot of people are using the,
space apples, or who are the building owner space, but ideally the, the.
719
01:45:36.400 --> 01:45:40.810
Quinlan Conf Room: If you extend this one straight, it will just come
just right next to the trees.
720
01:45:40.990 --> 01:46:05.279
Quinlan Conf Room: And you were saying the entrance to the building is
actually on the opposite side. On the other side, and this is not… if you
look at the criteria, what we say is, like, you know, people who are
using the business, they should be able to see the bikes when they are
using the business, and this business is basically Apple right now. Now
it has the bike racks, I think they have really cute, you know, long,
long bike racks on the other side where the entrance is. But there is
already a set of bike racks? Yes, exactly.
721
01:46:05.280 --> 01:46:08.050
Quinlan Conf Room: Two of them are there, oh, behind the building.
722
01:46:08.050 --> 01:46:15.309
Quinlan Conf Room: But that's where the Apple employees enter the
building, and that's… they have, like, right there. I don't see a need
for…
723
01:46:15.360 --> 01:46:21.929
Quinlan Conf Room: or a real use for this one. The other next one is a
bank there, and this side is uphill building. It's all, like, businesses,
like…
724
01:46:22.010 --> 01:46:28.599
Quinlan Conf Room: I don't see a reason to have it in here, since… Which
number was it? Number? This is,
725
01:46:29.730 --> 01:46:31.939
Quinlan Conf Room: Number 7.
726
01:46:36.340 --> 01:46:39.539
Quinlan Conf Room: And the other one is on.
727
01:46:43.520 --> 01:46:47.009
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, southwest corner of Lianza and Rodriguez.
728
01:46:48.170 --> 01:46:51.140
Quinlan Conf Room: just opposite to the Wells Fargo map there.
729
01:46:56.450 --> 01:47:01.200
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, exactly. So that, you know.
730
01:47:02.920 --> 01:47:11.509
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, I watch it with honey. It's a grocery store.
Grocery store. And then throw all the things.
731
01:47:14.540 --> 01:47:15.480
Quinlan Conf Room: This was…
732
01:47:15.710 --> 01:47:22.029
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, not in front of this, business, but I… from… by
looking at it, it's on the corner.
733
01:47:23.160 --> 01:47:26.590
Quinlan Conf Room: So it's on the column. That's right. Actually, the
city has to
734
01:47:26.870 --> 01:47:44.110
Quinlan Conf Room: But here, I think… Yeah, right here. Right there, you
have this, this donation box. Donation box, yeah. There's not a… this is,
like, the middle… ideally, if you wanted a bike rack, we should get one
button space next to that box, and have it there. Otherwise, there's… I
don't see a…
735
01:47:44.280 --> 01:47:53.880
Quinlan Conf Room: good place for installing bike rack in this place, and
I don't think it will be visible from the businesses either, if somebody
comes into the restaurant. I really would like to…
736
01:47:54.040 --> 01:47:56.370
Quinlan Conf Room: But, right, in front of the desktop.
737
01:47:56.910 --> 01:48:05.490
Quinlan Conf Room: But there is no space. There's no space. Yeah, I don't
see. This is the only location where there we can have. Yeah, exactly.
738
01:48:06.200 --> 01:48:10.040
Quinlan Conf Room: There's nothing in the corner. Corner, yeah, it's
right towards this function here.
739
01:48:10.620 --> 01:48:29.679
Quinlan Conf Room: This is the location we were thinking. Maybe the
location in the map was cut off. So if you look at it here, there are a
bunch of other businesses as well on the other side. But if you place it
here, people…
740
01:48:29.680 --> 01:48:32.220
Quinlan Conf Room: Who are visiting the grocery store will not be able
to.
741
01:48:32.360 --> 01:48:42.350
Quinlan Conf Room: view this one, and the people, going to the
restaurant, they can view it, because they will be on the other side. The
entrance is on the other side, but they are sitting here, they could view
it.
742
01:48:42.680 --> 01:48:44.290
Quinlan Conf Room: This is all possibility.
743
01:48:44.310 --> 01:49:03.959
Quinlan Conf Room: This could be a potential, yes. Potentially, yes, I
would say. If you wanted to do anything. I don't know, like, did we talk
to them? Like, you know, like… I did not talk to the business there,
because I was rejecting this place, because I assumed it was in the
corner. I mean, that place is… So I also walked all the way here to see
whether there's any other…
744
01:49:03.960 --> 01:49:05.210
Quinlan Conf Room: Place there.
745
01:49:05.340 --> 01:49:24.309
Quinlan Conf Room: But for that matter, on the opposite side, also, the
only question is, like, it needs to be usable. I don't see any people
biking to the restaurant or to the grass system, so there's no reason…
I'm riding frequently in that place. So it's a very soft, yes, huh? Is
that what it is? I mean, I don't see…
746
01:49:24.310 --> 01:49:27.019
Quinlan Conf Room: how… I mean, nobody's using it right now.
747
01:49:28.070 --> 01:49:39.699
Quinlan Conf Room: It's got to be a place where, you know, people will
bike and come. Like, in Starbucks, for example, bikers, you know, stop.
Yes, makes sense, makes sense. This one, I don't have real use for it.
748
01:49:40.540 --> 01:49:54.219
Quinlan Conf Room: if at all anyone is coming to those businesses, I will
see their bikes right in front. I frequent that place, I will be here,
and I don't see it. This number, the number, it was… Oh, that number is,
749
01:49:55.990 --> 01:50:12.940
Quinlan Conf Room: 9. That's a lot of money. Yeah, I took all copious
notes, and I as well took some pictures of hers, but I look like this is
good. So for you, we can consider number 5 and number 9 as a soft yes or
no no?
750
01:50:12.940 --> 01:50:22.169
Quinlan Conf Room: That's what I took away from this, from this
discussion here. Yeah. Soft, soft. Yeah. It's like a tier or, or it'll
certainly be on the first one with prior.
751
01:50:22.360 --> 01:50:31.199
Quinlan Conf Room: in the priority, I would say, put 5 as the higher
priority on this one, because at least I saw there are a lot of
businesses in that destination. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
752
01:50:32.470 --> 01:50:33.780
Quinlan Conf Room: Alright, who's next?
753
01:50:34.760 --> 01:50:36.700
Quinlan Conf Room: And then I also saw the end of it.
754
01:50:36.960 --> 01:50:53.380
Quinlan Conf Room: Kids are frequenting that place near in front of the
Valpo. Very interesting. But they have to join shops, boba shops and…
Exactly. There's interesting places where people… Yes. But the problem,
first thing is, you know, are they going to park their bike there and
walk, right? That's the challenge, yeah.
755
01:50:54.730 --> 01:50:55.689
Quinlan Conf Room: Thank you.
756
01:50:56.500 --> 01:50:57.530
Quinlan Conf Room: Marcy?
757
01:50:59.750 --> 01:51:03.129
Quinlan Conf Room: Let's go to the bottom of the park.
758
01:51:06.220 --> 01:51:08.630
Quinlan Conf Room: Which one? Portal.
759
01:51:29.230 --> 01:51:35.559
Quinlan Conf Room: Oh yeah, if you… Move here, I think. Let's do a big
round of the ideal…
760
01:51:36.370 --> 01:51:37.910
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, it's next to me.
761
01:51:38.720 --> 01:51:51.129
Quinlan Conf Room: to have background backgrounds there. I think there's
like a little bit of a grass grassy area. Most of the families in general
are on this side. City of So I think it makes sense to hide. But
762
01:51:52.110 --> 01:52:02.289
Quinlan Conf Room: Because it's a park, we don't have to put it across
the street, so ideally you want to move it away from the street, just for
safety reasons, and I think that in order for the families to be able to
watch
763
01:52:02.480 --> 01:52:08.049
Quinlan Conf Room: their kids and the bikes at the same time, I think
somewhere around here would be ideal, because that's where you can…
764
01:52:08.260 --> 01:52:15.800
Quinlan Conf Room: you know, have visibility from anywhere. The more like
you want to go back. So yes, if you have a grass somewhere.
765
01:52:16.360 --> 01:52:23.640
Quinlan Conf Room: And if we don't… bike somewhere else, just like the
ride somewhere else, and then you can add more.
766
01:52:24.340 --> 01:52:26.459
Quinlan Conf Room: There it is. Multiple.
767
01:52:29.370 --> 01:52:34.609
Quinlan Conf Room: The number? Which number was it? That was mine. 22.
22, okay.
768
01:52:37.400 --> 01:52:41.410
Quinlan Conf Room: Is that a yes? Yes. Yeah. Yes, multiple racks.
769
01:52:45.010 --> 01:52:52.390
Quinlan Conf Room: I don't see parks, you know, in general, I see young
kids coming to the park. Yeah, sorry, there's always kids in there.
770
01:52:53.540 --> 01:52:58.810
Quinlan Conf Room: Number 16. Not this corner of Pienza, Pienza and Civic
Park Lane.
771
01:53:02.760 --> 01:53:03.640
Quinlan Conf Room: It's.
772
01:53:14.820 --> 01:53:17.519
Quinlan Conf Room: It's in the northeast corner.
773
01:53:18.230 --> 01:53:20.120
Quinlan Conf Room: This corner. Yes.
774
01:53:20.370 --> 01:53:25.420
Quinlan Conf Room: So I think, yeah, this one, can you go with the… Thank
you. Yes.
775
01:53:25.940 --> 01:53:29.060
Quinlan Conf Room: Is that the… the leper and their…
776
01:53:29.560 --> 01:53:33.710
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, there is a bakery, there is a bar bakery.
777
01:53:33.870 --> 01:53:52.050
Quinlan Conf Room: I think if we have the right of way here, I think that
would be good. Then go into the shop before. I'm not a huge fan of having
it close to the street, because that. But if it's not like a long.
778
01:53:52.220 --> 01:54:03.049
Quinlan Conf Room: a long stop. I think that that will still be valuable
to have a tower back right here.
779
01:54:03.430 --> 01:54:12.130
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah. The only challenge I felt was, like, you see,
there is a little bit slope on the sidewalk. Yes. Yeah, we have to see
how much we can tackle that issue.
780
01:54:12.610 --> 01:54:20.770
Quinlan Conf Room: Otherwise, this location here in between would be
another option. Ideally, that would be better than here, because it looks
like
781
01:54:21.120 --> 01:54:22.100
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay.
782
01:54:22.860 --> 01:54:24.370
Quinlan Conf Room: From nowhere, right? So…
783
01:54:24.840 --> 01:54:40.839
Quinlan Conf Room: But only thing is you can't. I don't know whether you
can see it from the business or not. Yeah, there you can. You can see it
from the business. You can't hide in front of the fire. But you can do
it. Yeah, yeah, gotcha. Between the trees might be a better location, I
think. Yeah.
784
01:54:42.050 --> 01:54:44.500
Quinlan Conf Room: to make it look for nice stuff.
785
01:54:45.840 --> 01:54:47.190
Quinlan Conf Room: So that would be a yes.
786
01:54:48.890 --> 01:54:50.590
Quinlan Conf Room: So it's, like, 16?
787
01:54:51.150 --> 01:54:55.240
Quinlan Conf Room: Next one is, northwest corner of Wharf and Apple Park.
788
01:54:56.830 --> 01:54:57.490
Quinlan Conf Room: So.
789
01:55:15.420 --> 01:55:17.289
Quinlan Conf Room: This is an office building, right?
790
01:55:18.380 --> 01:55:21.570
Quinlan Conf Room: We got, we got the… We're thinking near the bus stop.
791
01:55:22.830 --> 01:55:24.579
Quinlan Conf Room: Somewhere here, actually.
792
01:55:25.610 --> 01:55:35.230
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, in this location, I think it would make sense
given that there is a bus stop here. So there are some shops, obviously
some directly on both.
793
01:55:35.410 --> 01:55:42.830
Quinlan Conf Room: But no, so what's thinking on bus stops, right? You
know, are you expecting people to come and park their bike there and get
on the bus?
794
01:55:43.090 --> 01:55:46.820
Quinlan Conf Room: Potentially, yes, and you see behind you, I saw some
shops.
795
01:55:47.090 --> 01:55:49.150
Quinlan Conf Room: So… Bye.
796
01:55:49.370 --> 01:56:09.180
Quinlan Conf Room: I don't. I've never seen anyone do that, leaving a
bike somewhere. No, but but people usually take the bike and put it on
the bus and go right. What I would suggest is that why don't we have one
in the city in front?
797
01:56:11.540 --> 01:56:12.350
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay.
798
01:56:12.830 --> 01:56:19.629
Quinlan Conf Room: We could try. I mean, we can try and see, and maybe
that's gonna give us some good information. What's the recommended
location exactly, Steven?
799
01:56:20.160 --> 01:56:25.329
Quinlan Conf Room: But, somewhere. Yes, I think you have this one.
800
01:56:25.890 --> 01:56:32.720
Quinlan Conf Room: I'll be generally interested in seeing if people work,
and if not, then that's fine, but I'll try.
801
01:56:33.140 --> 01:56:47.690
Quinlan Conf Room: I don't know. Ideally, people who are going to the
business… I mean, if you even look at the criteria, that's what we said,
right? The people going to the business, they should be able to bring
their bikes, you know, go into the business and come back and take their
bike and go away. I don't think people will…
802
01:56:47.950 --> 01:56:56.039
Quinlan Conf Room: parked somewhere in the middle of nowhere, then take
us… So what kind of businesses do we have there? Like, are they, like,
you know…
803
01:56:56.540 --> 01:57:04.120
Quinlan Conf Room: So you have any borough here, and Right.
804
01:57:06.400 --> 01:57:08.960
Quinlan Conf Room: Matcha tone ice cream…
805
01:57:09.080 --> 01:57:15.559
Quinlan Conf Room: This place is very, very busy all the time. Typically,
it's not inside. They're not on the road.
806
01:57:15.850 --> 01:57:21.880
Quinlan Conf Room: What could be possible also if you go up?
807
01:57:22.600 --> 01:57:29.640
Quinlan Conf Room: It's… There'll be also a departure vote.
808
01:57:30.250 --> 01:57:43.580
Quinlan Conf Room: near the intersection. Yeah, go up a bit more. I think
there was the coffee shop at the seventies cafe here. I know here it's
also a place where a lot of cyclists come.
809
01:57:43.750 --> 01:57:49.010
Quinlan Conf Room: And take their cafe here, so there will be a question
whether that's still not sitting right away.
810
01:57:49.140 --> 01:57:55.010
Quinlan Conf Room: That's the one from that. Is that the same street? No,
no, that's homestead. Find the homestead. Yeah.
811
01:57:55.680 --> 01:58:10.799
Quinlan Conf Room: So this one definitely. So here, here, if that's the
city right away, I would put that here, because I know that some cyclists
are coming here from their from their right. So it seems almost a better
place than the than the other one down with the gas station.
812
01:58:11.340 --> 01:58:18.459
Quinlan Conf Room: I was just speaking on the other one. Right between
the trees. Basically.
813
01:58:19.930 --> 01:58:31.630
Quinlan Conf Room: Challenging numbers between the… Yeah, that'll be a
little challenging, but we can work on it. You know, just thinking aloud,
right? Like, you know, these are busy junctions.
814
01:58:31.720 --> 01:58:37.439
Quinlan Conf Room: Would kids be encouraged to come on the bikes? They're
less likely, right?
815
01:58:37.440 --> 01:58:39.460
Quinlan Conf Room: So, it's more for, you know.
816
01:58:39.460 --> 01:59:02.050
Quinlan Conf Room: The real providers that are stopping by the coffee
shop or something like that, right? So the kids, they all go on the most
of them are on scooters and they go to the matchup. Yeah, they don't
just, yeah. What I saw is that more spandex type of cyclists who are
coming here, that would be probably didn't stop and get a coffee. Yeah,
yeah, yeah.
817
01:59:03.860 --> 01:59:11.069
Quinlan Conf Room: So we'll we'll explore the please use them. Great. But
the the need for Spanish is spelling cycles is 0.
818
01:59:11.830 --> 01:59:16.639
Quinlan Conf Room: We'll explore the area and we'll see where the where
it will be feasible and you know.
819
01:59:16.860 --> 01:59:21.000
Quinlan Conf Room: Possibly linked to that. It sounds like the general
vicinity would be a good place, though. Yeah
820
01:59:21.500 --> 01:59:28.280
Quinlan Conf Room: And the last one is, East of Steel Street Boulevard
and Whole Foods Broad The number, which is…
821
01:59:29.010 --> 01:59:29.780
Quinlan Conf Room: 7.
822
01:59:58.810 --> 01:59:59.730
Quinlan Conf Room: system.
823
02:00:00.010 --> 02:00:00.750
Quinlan Conf Room: One.
824
02:00:01.160 --> 02:00:18.969
Quinlan Conf Room: Whole food stream. That's the spirit you're talking
about. My understanding is that there's going to be. There will be a
redevelopment. There's going to be a redevelopment. So I think I would
wait. You should wait for. What's going on? What's going on? What's going
to look like?
825
02:00:19.190 --> 02:00:25.520
Quinlan Conf Room: the gophers. That would be a different thing. But if
it's that door here, in a sense, I think you need to.
826
02:00:25.960 --> 02:00:27.390
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay.
827
02:00:27.650 --> 02:00:31.350
Quinlan Conf Room: We already have both booths opened up, it was one
location, actually.
828
02:00:31.500 --> 02:00:37.959
Quinlan Conf Room: you wouldn't mind, Jordan. Are you okay? Go ahead.
829
02:00:38.330 --> 02:00:41.369
Quinlan Conf Room: This is all who's here. So
830
02:00:41.660 --> 02:00:56.209
Quinlan Conf Room: Notice that on Whole Foods, we already have part of my
grant. I don't see there's a need, and honestly, I never saw any bikes
there. I visited all locations a few times during different times.
831
02:00:56.370 --> 02:00:59.220
Quinlan Conf Room: But there was a there's a bike break right next to the
end.
832
02:00:59.670 --> 02:01:08.420
Quinlan Conf Room: That I think is sufficient in that… in that location.
The next, so this is number 8 for me. I would say no, because we already
have
833
02:01:09.640 --> 02:01:15.049
Quinlan Conf Room: About that, sir, who was… are currently in use. Then
we have,
834
02:01:15.770 --> 02:01:19.029
Quinlan Conf Room: The northeast corner of Deans and Bollinger.
835
02:01:20.020 --> 02:01:22.410
Quinlan Conf Room: Meeting section of the on-site volunteer.
836
02:01:35.270 --> 02:01:36.080
Quinlan Conf Room: Let's see.
837
02:01:47.110 --> 02:01:57.129
Quinlan Conf Room: So, interestingly enough, in this area, there's
actually really not much going on. There's nothing. It's totally dead air
in this particular building.
838
02:01:57.130 --> 02:02:10.150
Quinlan Conf Room: So I don't think there's a need for here, but if you
go downwards to the southeast corner, there is quite a bit of activity.
839
02:02:10.270 --> 02:02:11.060
Quinlan Conf Room: Kaylin.
840
02:02:14.470 --> 02:02:33.640
Quinlan Conf Room: But I did not see, I mean, this didn't seem like an
active area. Yeah, that used to be some fast food restaurant down here.
Now there is some clients or whatever. I live there. So it's a pretty.
841
02:02:33.740 --> 02:02:38.580
Quinlan Conf Room: dead spot. Yeah, yeah, this looks for redevelopment, I
think, for somebody to…
842
02:02:38.690 --> 02:02:48.900
Quinlan Conf Room: So that was number 15, no? That was number 15, yeah.
And then, the next two are very adjacent, right next to each other. It's
the answer town center lanes.
843
02:02:53.540 --> 02:02:55.260
Quinlan Conf Room: So, one was…
844
02:02:56.000 --> 02:03:03.389
Quinlan Conf Room: That was the that's the one. Yeah, that one. It was
proposed somewhere here. But I started from coming in from the
845
02:03:04.170 --> 02:03:05.859
Quinlan Conf Room: We are.
846
02:03:10.650 --> 02:03:12.569
Quinlan Conf Room: We're thinking somewhere here.
847
02:03:13.540 --> 02:03:16.680
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, but… Terms and…
848
02:03:17.140 --> 02:03:26.589
Quinlan Conf Room: Go back first to — Oh, sorry. Oh, so there are two
locations on the Tori side. This is the Tori side. Yeah, this — or do you
want to look? Yeah. Yeah, here.
849
02:03:26.670 --> 02:03:44.599
Quinlan Conf Room: So there is. You can see it actually has 25. Actually,
none of them were used again. There are multiple businesses there. I do
not think there is a justification. There is a coffee place there, too,
right? Yeah, it's right next door. Yeah, the coffee place is right. Yeah.
850
02:03:44.630 --> 02:03:47.319
Quinlan Conf Room: So here is the biorex here, right behind it.
851
02:03:47.390 --> 02:03:50.300
Quinlan Conf Room: There's 20, 20 by the way, it's okay.
852
02:03:50.740 --> 02:03:54.859
Quinlan Conf Room: You continue on that way. There's a coffee shop right
next there.
853
02:03:55.100 --> 02:04:14.000
Quinlan Conf Room: It's actually weird. That's fine, because I always
came from the other side, and I never saw the bike rides. Yeah, no,
there, there were never, never a single bike there. No, no, but not a
bike. But I couldn't. I didn't. I never noticed that there were bike
rides. Yeah, yes.
854
02:04:14.330 --> 02:04:23.310
Quinlan Conf Room: So so I did not see a need in that in that
neighborhood, honestly, to to put anything on there until until we see
those and more better use there.
855
02:04:24.660 --> 02:04:28.480
Quinlan Conf Room: Every time any kids go there, that's for the… to the
bittersweet.
856
02:04:28.480 --> 02:04:47.720
Quinlan Conf Room: Otherwise, others are all dismissive. But then, you
say, you know, there's only a bike rack. Yeah, this is a… I think it's an
Indian restaurant, or it was an Indian restaurant at some point in time.
You see the bike racks? Yeah, yeah. It's 22 right now. Maybe the
apartment, yeah. It's from the residential department.
857
02:04:47.720 --> 02:05:03.559
Quinlan Conf Room: So, for you, number 13, and somebody really likes,
like, next to each other. But the one, the one for, for the tea shop, is
that, is that a yes? Because to me, it would be, I think it would be
nice. The one you mentioned, like, on the tourist side.
858
02:05:03.610 --> 02:05:04.270
Quinlan Conf Room: Yep.
859
02:05:04.480 --> 02:05:23.139
Quinlan Conf Room: We already have the library in front of the library,
and it's like next to the coffee shop. And I don't think you're back at
the library to then go to the coffee shop. Both sides of the library is
there in front of the coffee shop. On this side here, I think it would be
nice to have one.
860
02:05:23.880 --> 02:05:46.669
Quinlan Conf Room: So what kind of shops are there? There's only one
Chinese restaurant. My dentist is there right now. We may have the same
dentist, but yeah, this side. For your number 13 was somewhere here.
Number 13 was this location. For your location in the number 13, town
center lane.
861
02:05:46.690 --> 02:05:48.630
Quinlan Conf Room: It was this location.
862
02:05:48.840 --> 02:05:53.310
Quinlan Conf Room: Oh, I thought it was the the other side. There's the
numbers.
863
02:05:53.450 --> 02:06:09.099
Quinlan Conf Room: 17 was the other side. Oh. Number 13 was Town Center.
No, I thought they were right next to each other, so I did not realize,
because from the description, Town Center, they… it sounded like the same
place. If people want to eat here, you can keep an eye on your back.
Yeah. It's a great location. Yep. There's space.
864
02:06:11.570 --> 02:06:16.159
Quinlan Conf Room: Are there other businesses as well, or is it just
private property?
865
02:06:16.280 --> 02:06:25.059
Quinlan Conf Room: It's a private policy. Yeah, then I would say, yeah.
If they get bypassed, they're most likely to install one of themselves,
right?
866
02:06:25.700 --> 02:06:42.239
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, the the that was the only spot where we had some
additional. And honestly, also, there is opposite right opposite. There
is like the yeah, the library. And I wouldn't feel like it's when you
eat.
867
02:06:42.240 --> 02:06:51.429
Quinlan Conf Room: it's… it's nice to have just… you don't have to be,
like, looking up far away from the bike, it's nice to have a good lens.
You want to be right in front of you. But if it's not
868
02:06:51.430 --> 02:06:52.740
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, Ray's right.
869
02:06:55.000 --> 02:06:59.559
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, so for Gerhard, all no. Everything? Yeah, I
think so.
870
02:06:59.910 --> 02:07:01.439
Quinlan Conf Room: Jill, you want to start?
871
02:07:02.280 --> 02:07:08.070
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, 1st one is Northwest corner of Stevens Creek and
Tantown.
872
02:07:08.670 --> 02:07:10.359
Quinlan Conf Room: Let's click and tap, though.
873
02:07:18.920 --> 02:07:19.640
Quinlan Conf Room: Stop.
874
02:07:25.730 --> 02:07:27.480
Quinlan Conf Room: Near the Molly tickle.
875
02:07:29.830 --> 02:07:31.240
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, I think…
876
02:07:32.320 --> 02:07:41.510
Quinlan Conf Room: It's slated for this corner. There's really I've never
seen any need for a bike rack there, but if we could move it across the
street to
877
02:07:41.770 --> 02:07:45.670
Quinlan Conf Room: the southwest corner, and use… utilize this for SE
area.
878
02:07:45.990 --> 02:07:50.649
Quinlan Conf Room: I think that would at Molly T. It was like a subway
there. But there's a lot of
879
02:07:50.770 --> 02:07:57.009
Quinlan Conf Room: For right now there's a lot of people that that
solicit, I mean, go to that business. Yeah.
880
02:07:57.850 --> 02:08:01.690
Quinlan Conf Room: So, I… I wouldn't be surprised if it would utilize…
881
02:08:13.160 --> 02:08:17.250
Quinlan Conf Room: You want to go to the next one, or you want to look at
the street view.
882
02:08:17.980 --> 02:08:20.830
Quinlan Conf Room: you know.
883
02:08:21.310 --> 02:08:26.990
Quinlan Conf Room: Right? This is before Molly. She opened up.
884
02:08:27.250 --> 02:08:35.279
Quinlan Conf Room: we say, say, somewhere in this vicinity between the
streetlight and the tree. Yeah.
885
02:08:37.810 --> 02:08:54.420
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, I think students also kind of right. Yes, they
might come from all those kids, you know, might go there. But I walked
by, I rode by today, and it was fairly crowded. And that was, that's what
the Starbucks near Post Harvey said. They get a lot of kids from
886
02:08:54.490 --> 02:08:58.530
Quinlan Conf Room: The schools, both the schools, coming on bikes.
887
02:09:00.580 --> 02:09:04.979
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay, so… What was the number? That was number one.
Number one, okay.
888
02:09:05.770 --> 02:09:14.410
Quinlan Conf Room: But the… I'm sorry, so… Okay, yeah, I'll modify it.
889
02:09:15.320 --> 02:09:25.330
Quinlan Conf Room: Next one is west of Stevens Creek Boulevard and Lazy
Dog Driveway. So that's just on the other side of Number 2, which we met.
890
02:09:27.200 --> 02:09:29.060
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, I think here, yeah.
891
02:09:31.610 --> 02:09:38.450
Quinlan Conf Room: This is the lazy dog, and… Yeah, there's… there's 5
racks right in here already that are utilized, so that's, I can…
892
02:09:38.980 --> 02:09:47.199
Quinlan Conf Room: But there's really no need to. I think the workers use
these bike racks in here. Sometimes you see 4 or 5 bikes in there. So
893
02:09:47.600 --> 02:09:51.879
Quinlan Conf Room: I don't really think that they would utilize the racks
up here.
894
02:09:52.160 --> 02:09:52.860
Quinlan Conf Room: Okay.
895
02:09:53.630 --> 02:09:56.450
Quinlan Conf Room: No, and I've looked for another location.
896
02:09:57.120 --> 02:10:03.480
Quinlan Conf Room: I don't think there's anything that would When we
update these criteria.
897
02:10:04.350 --> 02:10:06.359
Quinlan Conf Room: So I will say no to that.
898
02:10:06.980 --> 02:10:10.280
Quinlan Conf Room: And then the next one is Stevens Creek Boulevard and
Main
899
02:10:11.640 --> 02:10:14.160
Quinlan Conf Room: That's Creek Boulevard and Main Stre
900
02:10:20.750 --> 02:10:25.040
Quinlan Conf Room: And so for this location was, it's the
901
02:10:26.950 --> 02:10:29.890
Quinlan Conf Room: Northeast corner of Stevens Creek Boulevard, M
902
02:10:35.420 --> 02:10:41.959
Quinlan Conf Room: The thing is, there's bike racks, right? You can't see
them from here. They're right around the corner. And those racks…
903
02:10:42.260 --> 02:10:46.350
Quinlan Conf Room: It's like 4 or 5 racks, and we've only seen maybe one
or…
904
02:10:46.550 --> 02:10:51.219
Quinlan Conf Room: Maybe 2 bikes at most on those racks. So they're
really close by.
905
02:10:51.610 --> 02:11:05.320
Quinlan Conf Room: And so I think putting anything here would be, you
know, probably a waste of money. But I was trying to figure out where
else to go, and if I was wondering if we go down, you know, go west a
little bit along the sidewalk.
906
02:11:05.550 --> 02:11:17.529
Quinlan Conf Room: you know, there's a Charles Schwab. Would anybody ride
their bike to Charles Schwab? Why not? But yeah, it's probably not the
biggest.
907
02:11:17.960 --> 02:11:37.160
Quinlan Conf Room: So let's take a look at that. So I think the kids what
they do. They just walk to these shops, and during the break they don't
bring their bikes. But it sounds like there's already microbes there.
There really isn't any like they need to put any racks in, because
they're always enough.
908
02:11:37.210 --> 02:11:42.139
Quinlan Conf Room: And I wouldn't want a parking bike out here. Yeah,
yeah. It's crazy, it's crazy, so.
909
02:11:43.400 --> 02:11:53.250
Quinlan Conf Room: and the The last one was Southeast Florida, Stevens
Creek Boule It's in there.
910
02:11:54.510 --> 02:11:55.470
Quinlan Conf Room: Yes.
911
02:12:04.490 --> 02:12:08.260
Quinlan Conf Room: There's no hidden, basic information right in here.
912
02:12:10.410 --> 02:12:13.380
Quinlan Conf Room: Nothing. Nothing.
913
02:12:13.640 --> 02:12:27.150
Quinlan Conf Room: You know the my idea was to potentially take. I didn't
like this location. Just go further east along the sidewalk. I wonder if
they couldn't put one or 2 racks in front of a sweet maple.
914
02:12:27.190 --> 02:12:52.039
Quinlan Conf Room: Because that restaurant's very popular. I don't know
if anybody would rise here. Mostly families come when I see Frick. The
weekends are really busy. This is super busy. They have to take over the
parking from the gas station. We have two lads in front of the shop.
915
02:12:52.040 --> 02:12:55.649
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, this one, this one.
916
02:12:55.750 --> 02:12:58.819
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah. On this side. Yeah.
917
02:12:58.930 --> 02:13:01.799
Quinlan Conf Room: Exactly the right of way. Yeah, it's
918
02:13:03.690 --> 02:13:28.410
Quinlan Conf Room: This used to be something that's like a pacific catch
of fish or something, right? Yeah, nowadays it's a hot place. Nowadays we
can move it, especially on the weekends. We'll check the fees. But I
haven't seen people really riding bikes in that restaurant, mostly in all
cars. I know it's a lot of couples soon.
919
02:13:28.410 --> 02:13:44.519
Quinlan Conf Room: I see a lot of couples. I rarely see families. I see a
lot of young couples, friends together, but not some. But still, they
don't come and bite, like, a couple also, right?
920
02:13:44.600 --> 02:13:50.999
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, we get recently, like, a lot of complaints of
parking in the bike lane. There's, like, a,
921
02:13:51.000 --> 02:14:14.210
Quinlan Conf Room: It's sort of. It used to be a nice shopping center.
It's like a tea place and a little. That's on the other corner. Yeah,
right here. Yeah, drink and stuff. Whereas students go there. It looks
like we have space also. Yeah, I think that this might be.
922
02:14:19.870 --> 02:14:24.340
Quinlan Conf Room: This one. So this is like about this city.
923
02:14:24.540 --> 02:14:42.299
Quinlan Conf Room: This is from the high school. They might come from
high school. Yes, yes, it's always. It used to be always. So the this
will be the 1st preference, this part, if not on the sweet maple. But
looks like this is feasible with the open space, the greenery. Yeah,
yeah, that would be great.
924
02:14:44.800 --> 02:14:55.190
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, I'll compile all this into an Excel sheet, and
then we'll share with you guys. If there is any comments or anything more
we want to add, feel free to add it.
925
02:14:55.320 --> 02:15:06.050
Quinlan Conf Room: But sounds like we have at least identified a handful
of… how many do we need, or… sounds like whatever money we do not spend,
we can…
926
02:15:06.050 --> 02:15:19.430
Quinlan Conf Room: can use for other purposes. We don't have to spend the
money, it's really just to use whatever is meaningful, and then the rest
of the money goes back into… Yeah. Okay, great.
927
02:15:20.030 --> 02:15:22.669
Quinlan Conf Room: Any other questions, comments, thoughts on this name?
928
02:15:22.890 --> 02:15:29.729
Quinlan Conf Room: Nope, that was good. Thanks for… thanks, everybody,
for taking the time to visit all those places. I think it's been a good
effort.
929
02:15:30.510 --> 02:15:32.610
Quinlan Conf Room: That's that's a new result up here.
930
02:15:33.150 --> 02:15:36.440
Quinlan Conf Room: Excellent. All right. Thank you so much.
931
02:15:36.540 --> 02:15:38.799

932
02:15:39.100 --> 02:15:41.300
Quinlan Conf Room: Oh, so sorry.
933
02:15:42.170 --> 02:15:48.149
Quinlan Conf Room: Do we have a public comment? I'm so sorry we do not.
Thank you so much for the reminder. Appreciate it.
934
02:15:48.400 --> 02:15:53.559
Quinlan Conf Room: scare me from here.
935
02:15:54.010 --> 02:15:55.120
Quinlan Conf Room: That's it.
936
02:15:56.500 --> 02:16:09.350
Quinlan Conf Room: So that closes item number 3 on the agenda. So we have
item number 4, which is staff update and commission activity report. Do
we have anything update David? I could just
937
02:16:09.850 --> 02:16:19.330
Quinlan Conf Room: update on the Stevens Creek Boulevard to a sector bike
lanes project. You all probably see the progress. But straight
938
02:16:19.770 --> 02:16:21.939
Quinlan Conf Room: predominantly done.
939
02:16:22.550 --> 02:16:28.470
Quinlan Conf Room: Which includes… Like, the striping… into the bike
rides.
940
02:16:29.310 --> 02:16:35.920
Quinlan Conf Room: Next, we'll be putting out the concrete. The traffic
signal poles have been incorrectly done with our country.
941
02:16:36.110 --> 02:16:41.010
Quinlan Conf Room: next week, putting out the concrete blocks.
942
02:16:41.559 --> 02:16:45.660
Quinlan Conf Room: Probably within the next couple of weeks, you'll see
those go in.
943
02:16:46.040 --> 02:16:51.340
Quinlan Conf Room: And then we're still anticipating the project will be
complete by the end of the month.
944
02:16:51.540 --> 02:16:52.820
Quinlan Conf Room: And that's right.
945
02:16:53.070 --> 02:16:56.720

947
02:16:58.750 --> 02:16:59.559
Quinlan Conf Room: So.
948
02:17:00.000 --> 02:17:19.970
Quinlan Conf Room: Any other commissioner reports. I have a question.
What happened to the Torrey Avenue and Pacifica? There was supposed to be
some improvements. Is it still in progress? Especially you are a signal.
Yeah, it's still in progress. It's a budget issue.
949
02:17:20.170 --> 02:17:24.620
Quinlan Conf Room: Yeah, and when you do the class, you do the work, not
just small.
950
02:17:25.090 --> 02:17:41.400
Quinlan Conf Room: Oh, yeah. I know that we are having, like, a reflector
there. In some of the cities that I've seen, like, they have aliens. Oh,
yeah. So it is actually flashes. So even in the daytime.
951
02:17:41.490 --> 02:17:59.549
Quinlan Conf Room: The stop signs are really for pedestrian crossings, or
or yeah, exactly. So especially the story avenue. It will be very useful.
Well, we can look at that. I have another place for that. I know you.
952
02:17:59.840 --> 02:18:06.180
Quinlan Conf Room: And these LED lights, I think they operate on solar?
Generally, yeah. Yeah, exactly, sorry.
953
02:18:07.610 --> 02:18:09.250
Quinlan Conf Room: That's awesome.
954
02:18:11.379 --> 02:18:12.490
Quinlan Conf Room: Anything else?
955
02:18:12.969 --> 02:18:17.459
Quinlan Conf Room: Commission reports for Vta. There was no Vta. Wasn't
Vta. Okay, excellent.
956
02:18:17.780 --> 02:18:24.400
Quinlan Conf Room: Alright, closing this side, and then, future agenda
setting, is it… is it okay if we postpone this one to, to next meeting?
957
02:18:24.459 --> 02:18:40.849
Quinlan Conf Room: we usually go with through the list here as a as a way
to kind of collect thoughts. I believe the item from the gentleman who
was here today is on the list. We just haven't picked it yet. I mean, we
just we we have to pick it. Maybe we should put that on the agenda. Yeah,
in the in the future.
958
02:18:41.000 --> 02:19:00.600
Quinlan Conf Room: I mean, they came at least twice, right? So when
people really want to engage with the city, we need to encourage them to
go and engage with them. We should put it on the agenda. Yep. Okay. We
can look at that for, not next month, but yes, August is already pretty
much booked. September would be, kind of the time to…
959
02:19:01.270 --> 02:19:13.519
Quinlan Conf Room: I think August will be the bearded show, so she will
come and there'll be three items. See if there's the e-bike.
960
02:19:13.809 --> 02:19:15.080
