File Number: 15-633 <br />Public Present: George Tucker of the Bay -O -Vista Improvement Association and <br />California Senior Legislature <br />1.113. Announcements <br />2. DISCUSSION ITEMS <br />2.A. Discussion Regarding Complete Street <br />Keith Cooke presented a review of Complete Streets Implementation for San Leandro. He <br />reviewed the current implementation status and then answered questions from Committee <br />Members. <br />Chris Zapata added that Kittelson & Associates, a transportation, engineering, and planning <br />firm that is part of the consultant team, was asked to consider technology (driverless cars, <br />license plate readers), railroad crossings and aesthetics on its evaluation of the impact of <br />Complete Streets. <br />K. Cooke provided a timeline for Complete Streets and said that it will go to full Council, then <br />to Planning and in September/October 2016 back to full Council. Kittelson created and <br />implemented a similar program for Baltimore, which will be used as a model for San Leandro. <br />Arterial and collector streets are the priority to be identified and residential streets reviewed on <br />an as -needed basis. Staff will work with Alameda County on cross -jurisdictional streets and <br />identify respective priorities. Staff will take the lead on identification of modes. <br />When asked by Mayor Cutter, K. Cooke said the bulk of funds for street related projects are <br />from ACTC. Design guidelines will be developed to be used as street design standard; project <br />checklists will be created for use by both City staff as well as developers. He added that staff <br />will use these checklists that meet ACTC's mandate to obtain funds. <br />Mayor Cutter suggested using different traffic features at various locations (for example <br />bollards at Durant instead of limiting them to only industrial use) and using Complete Streets <br />evaluation as an opportunity to examine safety and traffic. K. Cooke agreed and he assured <br />the Committee that staff will incorporate Complete Street elements in all future street and road <br />projects. <br />Mayor Cutter recommended that the consultant present their Plan to full Council with the <br />clarification that Complete Streets doesn't mean all streets done right away. K. Cooke will <br />work on a survey as a means for the community that reviews major streets and provides the <br />opportunity for resident feedback on priorities. <br />Councilmember Lopez expressed the need to address expanding use of sidewalks (outdoor <br />dining, improvements, improved walkability, promotion of local business) when using <br />Complete Streets design. K. Cooke will direct staff to include varied uses for the right-of-way <br />in street projects. <br />Councilmember Reed talked about undesignated school routes (cut -through) and the need to <br />City of San Leandro Page 2 Printed on 1211/2015 <br />
