File Number: 22-141 As a next step, staff proposes to prepare a report documenting current safety statistics and trends, current practices and programs, and a list of future actions. Following the collection and analysis of traffic crash data, staff proposes to release a report and action plan in late 2022. Adopting Vision Zero provides a safety framework for San Leandro. From here, the City will use getting to zero deaths and severe injuries as guideposts for decision making on engineering and planning projects. Staff will evaluate and recommend modifications to the existing standards and policies and design practices with the goal of improving roadway safety for all users. Vision Zero is a fundamental paradigm shift in how the City and community makes decisions about public streets. Current Agency Policies · Maintain and enhance San Leandro’s infrastructure Applicable General Plan Policies Goal T-2: Design and operate streets to be safe, attractive, and accessible for all transportation users whether they are pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders or motorists, regardless of age or ability. Environmental Review Approval to develop planning documents is statutorily exempt from further review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Adoption of the Vision Zero Policy does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Any future physical changes to the environment or roadway network that requires discretionary action by the City Council will be subject to future environmental review. Fiscal Impacts Adoption of the proposed policy will not have a direct financial impact. Staff resources are allocated in the recently adopted two-year budget to evaluate existing standards and requirements and identify needed changes to implement the policy. Future recommended capital expenditures to make changes to City infrastructure consistent with the Vision Zero policy will be evaluated during the annual review of the City Budget and Capital Improvement Plan.
