23 <br /> <br />implementations of public art in the industrial areas that put the "maker" history <br />and historic products of the past, present and future on display, to provide <br />education, raise community awareness and pride, and embellish the public realm. <br /> Fifth Priority: Improved district wayfinding signage ($$), with a focus on new <br />visitation relating to Kaiser Hospital visitors. <br /> Sixth Priority: Pedestrian sidewalk corner bulb-outs ($$$). To shorten the length <br />of crossing the street for pedestrians at intersections during the signal cycle <br />(particularly for seniors and children), where feasible given truck routes and wide <br />radius truck turns, install corner extensions of curbed sidewalk (referred to as "bulb- <br />outs:"). This typically involves greater expense due to demolitions and new <br />construction. However, there may be some benefits to improved signal timing due <br />to the shorter pedestrian crossing cycle. <br /> <br />3.3.2.4. Complete the missing segments of bike routes in the industrial areas as indicated in the bike <br />master plan, and plan for upgrading of buffering between vehicles and bicycles . (Fig. 35) <br />These include segments of bike lanes not yet present along Merced Street and Westgate <br />Parkway. The current Merced Street construction work associated with Kaiser Hospital is adding <br />dedicated bike lanes, but there may remain portions north of Marina Boulevard and south of <br />Fairway Drive that remain uncompleted. In addition, there are immediate opportunities for <br />existing bike lanes to be provided buffering from vehicular traffic with striping alone ($). <br />Portions of Doolittle Drive, the Fairway Drive crossing of I-880, and Alvarado Street have <br />segments that are presently "bike-friendly" but do not yet have dedicated bike lanes should also <br />be evaluated for upgrading. Where possible, plan for future upgrade of major bike routes to <br />"cycle tracks" with physical buffer features (vertical bollards, curbed median islands, planting, <br />etc. - $$$); these measures will increase both the perception and the experience of safety, and <br />encourage bicycle use by workers, students, and residents both to and through the district. <br /> <br />3.3.3. REGULATIONS <br /> <br />3.3.3.1. Update regulations and services as needed to enable the creation of “food pods” with <br />emphasis on multiple fixed food carts, as described above in Section 3.3.1.2. <br /> <br />3.3.3.1.1. Create procedural guidance, such as an information sheet with regulatory checklist <br />and/or application form for potential food cart entrepreneurs, to assist in <br />streamlining the set-up process. <br /> <br />3.3.3.2. In the General Plan update, develop specific goals and actions for the industrial district to <br />incorporate and implement the three primary strategies and build education and community <br />support. Recommendations below are made in reference to existing General Plan sections, <br />which are anticipated to potentially be reorganized in an update. <br /> <br />3.3.3.2.1. Updated policies should specifically promote higher value-added per square foot <br />businesses and higher employment density uses, and outline how to reconfigure
