File Number: 15-594 <br />and what can they do to get it going faster? Is there anything similar to the traffic calming <br />program in terms of bicycle and pedestrian safety? K. Cooke worked with LIC Berkeley <br />extensions on determining problematic areas where with high collisions and staff uses the info <br />as part of project prioritization. Goal is to reduce traffic collisions. The City recently <br />completed a Safe Routes to School program in the schools on the traffic safety practices. <br />The question was asked at to the number of traffic stops made by police per day. G. Noland <br />estimated that it is in the hundreds and is difficult to say because their staffing is limited to <br />three motor officers and one sergeant. Officers work with E&T staff on areas that get hit the <br />most, but majority of their time is spent at other schools on non -traffic incidents (criminal, <br />parking and parental issues), which takes away from being at those schools that require more <br />bike and pedestrian issues, such as Dutton. <br />BRT on East 14th Street: Anticipating more traffic on Pershing as motorists cross over to <br />avoid slower area due to one designated lane on East 14th Street. Since Bristol/West <br />Broadmoor has no stops, is there any way to forecast the increase in traffic where people will <br />search for shorter routes to avoid? K. Cooke will have staff perform speed measurement. <br />Northern portion of East 14th Street has designated lane north of Broadmoor. K. Cooke will <br />put Pershing on the list and will do a study at Mayor Cutter's request. <br />Mayor Cutter announced that the Committee will be available after the meeting to take <br />additional questions. <br />4. COMMITTEE MEMBER COMMENTS <br />Although the committee approves the traffic calming budget, Councilmember Lopez would like <br />to see it increased and asked what project on the CIP list staff and Committee is willing to give <br />up to increase the traffic calming budget. Mayor Cutter will add the traffic calming budget to <br />the agenda in January to an increase. K. Cooke said the budget is a two year process and he <br />will prepare a 6 year look ahead for CIP and work through budget adjustment for 2016-17. <br />When does CIP report come out and is it based on the last two years? K. Cooke - process will <br />be more inclusive, projects are continually added to the list, staff is evaluating evaluate the <br />process. K. Cooke recommends that Council provides input on ranking of projects. <br />Staff will update criteria and revise the evaluation process. An informal list will be compiled <br />and the final evaluation will be completed in March 2015. The FY 2016-17 budget is already <br />programmed. Modifications can be made to the budget in the second year of a two year <br />budget cycle, which could happen next Spring. <br />�_1�h1�1�1:�► <br />The meeting was adjourned at 6:31 p.m. <br />City of San Leandro Page 4 Printed on 11110/2015 <br />
