Complete Streets is a transportation policy and design <br />approach that integrates people and places in the planning, design, construction, operation, and <br />maintenance of the City’s transportation networks. This helps ensure streets put safety over <br />speed, balance the needs of different modes, and support local land uses, economies, cultures, <br />and natural environments. <br />One component of Complete Streets is the creation of physically segregated (Class IV) <br />bikeways, such as those currently under construction on Fairmont Drive (the portion southwest of <br />E. 14th Street). However, the addition of Class IV bikeways presents a maintenance challenge for <br />Public Works, as the existing street sweepers require an operating clearance of 10 feet, and <br />segregated bikeways typically have widths of between six and eight feet. <br />The City is under state mandate through our National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System <br />(NPDES) permit, which is administered locally through the Alameda County Clean Water <br />Program, to sweep all City roads a minimum of once per month. When the maintenance <br />challenge was brought up with Engineering & Transportation staff, they indicated that funding may <br />be available to purchase a smaller sweeper, thereby enabling NPDES compliance while <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 1/14/2022 <br />77
