Cooke, P.E., Principal Engineer 41 Reh -Lin N. Chen, P.E., Senior Transportation Engineer re Subject: East 14 Street Striping and Pedestrian Improvements Project — Summary of Neighborhood Meeting and Questionnaire SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION The Engineering and Transportation Department has conducted a neighborhood meeting and collected input from community members regarding the East 14 Street Striping and Pedestrian Improvement project to address any remaining comments and questions prior to construction. This memo summarizes the results of the meeting and the comments received. This report is for information only, and no action is required. BACKGROUND The East 14 Street Striping and Pedestrian Improvement project is being undertaken in response to community concerns about side - street access, pedestrian safety, and traffic congestion at the East 14 Street/Dutton Avenue intersection and the northern portion of East 14 Street. The planned construction calls for one southbound and two northbound travel lanes on East 14 Street between Hays Street and Georgia Way and highlighted crosswalks. Numerous community meetings were conducted from September 2004 to April 2006 to garner input. This community process allowed area residents and businesses to determine the best solution to their concerns. City Council approved the proposed striping plan in 2006. After an extended design and review by Caltrans, the project is ready to start construction. However, at Council's request, additional outreach efforts were initiated to inform residents of the impending project, potential impacts of AC Transits BRT project, and address any remaining questions or comments.
