File Number: 22-393 Since January 2022, Alameda CTC staff has been coordinating with member agency stakeholders to develop a public outreach plan which includes City committees, local businesses, and other stakeholders to obtain feedback on multimodal transportation needs as well as to obtain input on the concept designs. This work builds on outreach done in previous years for the EBGW and E. 14th Street/Mission Boulevard Multimodal project. During the months of February through April, Alameda CTC conducted direct business and community outreach, and coordinated public outreach events with City staff for its Bancroft Avenue and Williams Street Bikeway projects. The coordinated outreach effort helped communicate that regional and local planning efforts share the same goals of improving safety through multimodal projects, closing gaps in the bicycle network and complementing east-west and north-south connections across the City. Alameda CTC presented a Project update on upcoming public outreach to the City Council Facilities and Transportation Committee on March 2nd and to the San Leandro Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee on March 9th. Public outreach included five popup events (in coordination with City of San Leandro Crosstown Corridors) that were held at the following locations: ·Bay Fair Farmers Market on February 26th ·San Leandro BART station on March 3rd ·John Muir Middle School on March 12th ·Downtown Farmer’s Market Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on April 6th ·San Leandro High School on April 16th Interested individuals from the pop-up events and door-to-door outreach were encouraged to participate in two San Leandro focus groups in April; one for Bike/Pedestrians/Transit users on April 18th and the other for Business Owners on April 21st. In San Leandro between April 4th and April 15th, staff conducted additional outreach consisting of an in person, Door-to-Door Business survey along E. 14th Street from San Leandro Boulevard to Bay Fair Drive. The in-person outreach focused on how businesses use street parking and loading/unloading needs. In addition, a mailer was sent to residential areas adjacent to the Project inviting comments through a comment form that was available on the Alameda CTC’s project website during the first two weeks in June. The community and business survey outreach conducted to date found strong support for the Project in general, particularly for: ·Consideration of the inclusion of urban landscape and maintenance ·Inclusion of bike and pedestrian safety features for traffic signals ·Decreasing vehicular speeds on E. 14th Street ·Consideration of business loading and short-term parking needs ·Creation of more opportunities for pedestrians to safely cross E. 14th St. Alameda CTC staff returned to the City Council Facilities and Transportation Committee on May 4th to present the outcome of the public outreach and the design elements of the concept Project. The Committee members expressed strong support for the Project and asked for a map that shows more details on the parking that will be eliminated on E. 14th Street (see Attachment B).
