4 4 Date: November 23, 205 Current Meeting: January 3, 206 Board Meeting: N/ BORD MEMORNDUM TO: THROUGH: FROM: SUBJECT: Santa Clara Valley Transportation uthority Bicycle & Pedestrian dvisory Committee General Manager, Nuria I. Fernandez Board Secretary, Elaine Baltao Election Process for 206 Bicycle & Pedestrian dvisory Committee Leadership: Conduct Elections Policy-Related ction: No Government Code Section pplies: No CTION ITEM RECOMMENDTION: Conduct voting to determine the Committee's chairperson and vice chairperson for 206. BCKGROUND: The Bicycle & Pedestrian dvisory Committee (BPC) bylaws require that the committee elect from its membership a chairperson and a vice chairperson annually to serve as the committee leadership for the upcoming year. The bylaws also provide that the chairperson and vice chairperson positions serve one-year terms coinciding with the calendar year and are eligible for election to multiple terms. Only members, not alternates, are eligible to serve in these positions. The elections for the BPC leadership positions are conducted during the committee s last meeting of the calendar year (usually December), if practical. The duties of the chairperson are to preside at all meetings of the committee and represent the committee before the Board of Directors. The duty of the vice chairperson is to perform the duties of the chairperson when the chairperson is absent. It is the responsibility of all advisory committee chairpersons and vice chairpersons to participate in periodic coordination meetings between themselves and the leadership of the VT Board of Directors. 333 North First Street San Jose, C dministration Customer Service

5 4 DISCUSSION: The election process for chairperson and vice chairperson is comprised of three distinct steps. The first step is appointing the nomination subcommittee. The second is presentation of the nomination subcommittee s report. The final step is conducting elections to select the chairperson and vice chairperson. Each of these components is conducted during the committee meeting. ppointing the Nomination Subcommittee The chairperson requests volunteers to serve on the nomination subcommittee, which is typically comprised of two or three members. If there are no volunteers or an insufficient number, it is the chairperson s prerogative to appoint committee members to serve on it. It is required that the committee votes to approve the appointment of members to the nomination subcommittee. This step normally takes place two meetings prior to conducting the elections. The nomination subcommittee identifies members interested in serving as the chairperson or vice chairperson. This is done by soliciting nominations from members, either for themselves or other members, and is done at a time other than during the committee meeting. dditionally, it is the nomination subcommittee s responsibility to determine that members who have been nominated are willing to serve. The nomination subcommittee may also make a recommendation as to its recommended candidate for each position. t its October 205 meeting, the BPC approved the appointment of members David Simons and Jim Stallman to serve on the nomination subcommittee. Report from the Nomination Subcommittee t the meeting immediately preceding the elections, the nomination subcommittee provides a verbal report to the committee identifying committee members who have confirmed their willingness to serve. This establishes the initial list of candidates for the elections to be held at the next meeting. The nomination subcommittee is automatically discharged when its report is formally presented to the committee. No action is required of the committee other than to receive the report. t the November 205 BPC meeting, the nomination subcommittee reported that the following individuals had been nominated and had confirmed their willingness to serve: Chair: () Wes Brinsfield, representative for the City of Los ltos and current BPC chairperson (B) Kristal Caidoy, representative for the City of Milpitas and current BPC vice chairperson (C) Paul Goldstein, representative for the City of Palo lto and former BPC chairperson Vice Chair: (D) Peter Hertan, representative for the Town of Los Gatos (E) James Wiant, representative for the City of Cupertino Page 2 of 3

6 4 Election of Chairperson and Vice Chairperson Due to cancellation of the December 205 meeting, the elections will be conducted as one of the first items of business at the January 206 meeting. The elections for the chairperson and vice chairperson positions are conducted individually and in sequence. Immediately preceding the vote, the nomination subcommittee report on individuals willing to serve in either position will be reiterated, and the chair will verify that the named candidates still wish to be considered for the respective position. Next, the chairperson will ask if there are any nominations from the floor, then close the nomination process to establish the final list of candidates for each position. For instances of multiple candidates for the same position, the order of voting for each candidate is alphabetically by last name. For BPC, the affirmative vote of a majority of the total authorized membership, which is nine votes, is required to elect each position. Due to cancellation of the December meeting, the term of office for each position begins immediately following the completed vote for that office. LTERNTIVES: There are no alternatives since the Committee s bylaws specify the election process. FISCL IMPCT: There is no fiscal impact resulting from the election process.

14 9 Date: January 5, 206 Current Meeting: January 3, 206 Board Meeting: February 4, 206 BORD MEMORNDUM TO: THROUGH: FROM: SUBJECT: Santa Clara Valley Transportation uthority Bicycle & Pedestrian dvisory Committee General Manager, Nuria I. Fernandez Director of Planning and Program Development, John Ristow Striping Improvements on Page Mill Road at I-280 Interchange Policy-Related ction: No Government Code Section pplies: No CTION ITEM RECOMMENDTION: Recommend that the VT Board of Directors authorize the General Manager to: ) Enter into inter-agency agreements as needed with Santa Clara County Roads and irports Department, City of Palo lto, Town of Los ltos Hills, and Caltrans for design and construction of Interim Signing and Striping Improvements on Page Mill Road at I-280; and 2) ugment the 996 Measure B Transportation Improvement Program Fund Capital Budget by $250,000. BCKGROUND: The interchange of Page Mill Road and Interstate 280 has long been identified as a challenging area for bicyclists and motorists. In 203, the Santa Clara County Roads and irports Department began a study to identify improvements to improve traffic flow and support active transportation modes for the Page Mill Road segment of the Oregon-Page Mill Expressway, including the Page Mill/I-280 interchange. The County worked closely with VT, the City of Palo lto, the Town of Los ltos Hills, and Caltrans during the study, and conducted several outreach meetings, including bringing concept plans to the VT/County Bicycle and Pedestrian dvisory Committee for review. The completed study, Page Mill Road Expressway Corridor Study, was released in June 205. mong other recommendations, it includes various alternatives for reconfiguring Page Mill Road through the interchange to reduce freeway ramp backups, and enhance bicycle and pedestrian travel through the interchange area. In recognition that it may take several years to fund, design, and construct the interchange improvements, the study also includes a concept plan for interim bicycle improvements through the interchange area. 333 North First Street San Jose, C dministration Customer Service

15 9 The agencies involved in the study and the members of the public have expressed a desire to expedite bicycle improvements at the Page Mill/I-280 interchange. There is strong support for funding and building interim bicycle improvements, such as those identified in the study. The support intensified this fall, after a person bicycling on Page Mill Road through the interchange area was struck by a motorist and killed. DISCUSSION: Project Need Page Mill Road is a well-used bicycle route, with upwards of 00 bicyclists per hour traveling through the I-280 interchange during weekend peak. pproximately 30 bicyclists per hour travel through the I-280 interchange during the weekday commute peak hour. In addition to the recent bicyclist fatality, six other bicycle collisions have occurred within the interchange between 2004 and 203. VT s prior planning efforts support improvements to the Page Mill/I-280 interchange: Page Mill Road is identified as a Cross-County Bikeway in VT s Santa Clara Countywide Bicycle Plan (2008) and the Page Mill/I-280 interchange is called out as a freeway interchange in need of improved bicycle accommodations. Improvements to the interchange are listed as a Tier project in VT s 203 Bicycle Expenditure Program. Project Description and Cost The project is located within Caltrans right-of-way, along a County Expressway, and within the town boundary of Los ltos Hills. The Page Mill Road Expressway Corridor Study includes concept plans for interim signing and striping improvements at Page Mill/I-280 interchange that would improve channelization of motor vehicles restripe the roadway to provide higher-visibility bike lanes, and provide signing and striping to alert motorists to bicyclists traveling within the roadway. ttachment shows the concept plan in the Page Mill Road Expressway Corridor Study. multi-jurisdictional project team would use these concept plans as a starting point to develop final designs. The interim signing and striping improvements are expected to cost $480,000. VT staff is proposing to provide $250,000 in 996 Measure B Funding to fund the interim project. VT and the County Roads and irports Department are working with Caltrans, Los ltos Hills, and Palo lto to identify additional funding sources. s of December, 205 the unspent balance of 996 Measure B appropriation is $6.469 million. LTERNTIVES: Page 2 of 3

16 9 The Board of Directors could choose not to provide 996 Measure B funds. The interim improvements would be delayed while alternative funding sources are identified. FISCL IMPCT: If approved, $250,000 in 996 Measure B Funding would be made available for striping Improvements on Page Mill Road at I-280 Interchange.

Fernandez Director of Planning and Program Development, John Ristow Countywide Bicycle Plan Update-Draft Outreach Plan FOR INFORMTION ONLY BCKGROUND: s the Congestion Management gency for Santa Clara County, VT is responsible for countywide multi-modal transportation planning, including bicycle planning. s a part of this role, VT develops and updates the Countywide Bicycle Plan (CBP), which was last updated and adopted by the VT Board of Directors in Currently, VT is updating the Countywide Bicycle Plan to supplement the newly adopted local bicycle plans and to support the growing need for multi-modal transportation improvements in Santa Clara County. s a part of the updating process, VT intends to conduct extensive community engagement and outreach to the public and stakeholder groups to better understand the needs for future countywide bicycle improvements and to receive new ideas for making biking a comfortable and safe mode of transportation in the county. This memo is a summary of the draft outreach plan for the Countywide Bicycle Plan Update. DISCUSSION: Outreach for Countywide Bicycle Plan Update will inform the planning effort and create a platform for the public and stakeholders to be engaged in the planning process. The key goals for outreach plan are identified as: Defining and sharing the vision, purpose, and goals of the Countywide Bicycle Plan. Sharing information about existing conditions of countywide bicycle facilities and opportunities in updating the Countywide Bicycle Plan. 333 North First Street San Jose, C dministration Customer Service

19 0 Gathering information about existing barriers, preferred bicycle corridors and infrastructure improvements, and preferred education, encouragement, and enforcement activities that can be supported at the county scale. Reaching consensus with the public on needs and facility preferences and with local jurisdictions on potential projects, programs, and local and countywide needs. The outreach plan targets three primary groups: General public Member gency staff and other stakeholders VT committees ttachment of this memo is an overview of the proposed outreach activities. The timeline for the project s public outreach activities is from January 206 until adoption of the plan in summer 207. Outreach to General Public One of the desired outcomes of outreach activities for this project is to reach out to members of the public who would not normally be involved in a countywide bike plan effort, and those who are not frequent bicyclists. The general public will be engaged through community workshops, an unstaffed display exhibit in selected public spaces, information booths at community events, social media and web-based mapping survey, and a mobile phone text-based survey. The community workshops will be held in north, south, and central county, and will include interactive exercises to gather community input on the most important issues and highest priority areas in the county for bicycle improvements. Community events will be a good opportunity to publicize the planning effort and to gather input on the plan. During the public outreach process, the project consultant will host an information booth at five community events. The outreach plan includes a list of proposed locations for community workshops, community events, and placement of the advertising display exhibit. Locations for each of these outreach activities will be finalized further in the planning process. Outreach to Member gency Staff and Other Stakeholders Stakeholders and Member gency staff will be engaged through phone interviews, working group meetings that are specifically organized for this project, charrettes, and bicycle ride audits. VT s member agencies and other organizations who influence policy and implementation, such as Caltrans, and advocacy groups, such as Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition will be involved in this part of outreach. Member gency interviews will be used to gather information about local jurisdictions key accomplishments, priority projects, near-term and long-term goals, funding strategies, and any plans, policies and programs that help VT to have a better understanding of needs and priorities Page 2 of 3

20 0 in different parts of the county. In addition to the Member gency interviews, the project consultant will interview staff at other organizations that need to be coordinated with or are involved in implementation of specific types of bicycle infrastructure projects, such as Santa Clara Valley Water District and Caltrans. The bicycle ride audits will happen after prioritizing the recommended projects and will be along corridors that are identified as high-priority, cross-county bicycle corridors. Outreach to VT Committees The project will be brought to VT committees in different phases of the planning process, including but not limited to reviewing the proposed projects and priority bicycle corridors, implementation strategy, and conceptual design for high-priority corridors. Subcommittees of the VT BPC may be formed to provide input into specific components of the plan, such as identified and modified Cross-County Bicycle Corridors and cross Barrier Connections and identifying education, encouragement, and enforcement programs that can be supported at a county scale. NEXT STEPS: fter receiving input from the VT Bicycle and Pedestrian dvisory Committee, VT staff will finalize the proposed outreach plan and begin outreach activities. During the planning process and in different phases of the outreach activities, VT staff will update the VT Committees on the project progress. Prepared By: Malahat Owrang Memo No Page 3 of 3

RESONS FOR RECOMMENDTION On November 6, 202, the County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors adopted a Complete Streets Policy that included the following implementation element: Transportation projects shall be reviewed by the County BPC early in the planning and design stage to provide the BPC an opportunity to provide comments and recommendations regarding Complete Streets features to be incorporated into the project. Transportation projects include road pavement surfacing projects. Each year, the County Roads & irports Department provides the BPC with the list of unincorporated roads scheduled for pavement maintenance in the upcoming construction season. ttached is the list of roads scheduled for repair and resurfacing in 206. Information on the list includes the road limits, type of surface preservation (all chip seal for 206), road length and width, and number of lanes. lso attached is a map illustrating the road maintenance schedule for South County the area where over 60% of the County-maintained road mileage is located. This map indicates the schedule pavement maintenance for 206 through 208. The only type of Complete Streets change that can be easily and cost-effectively incorporated into a pavement preservation project is modifying the striping plans. BPC members are asked to let the County know of any roads on this list where a change in striping may be beneficial. We will ask the Traffic Engineering Unit to consider these changes as they develop the striping plans. We will also take comments regarding any other Complete Streets features that the BPC members note are needed for the roads included in this list and the County will look for grant or other opportunities to implement these improvements.

30 2.a County of Santa Clara Roads & irports Department Prepared by: Jamil Salas ssociate Civil Engineer BPC DTE: January 3, 206 TO: Bicycle and Pedestrian dvisory Committee FROM: Ron Jackson, cting Deputy Director, Infrastructure Development SUBJECT: Project Review: Intersection Improvements at Page Mill Rd and Coyote Hill Rd RECOMMENDED CTION Receive report by Santa Clara County Roads and irports Department. RESONS FOR RECOMMENDTION This project is being brought before the Bicycle and Pedestrian dvisory Committee for information. Currently, the intersection of Page Mill Road and Coyote Hill Road, located in a County pocket just outside of Palo lto city limits, is a non-signalized T intersection. Only one stop sign exists to control northbound traffic approaching the intersection on Coyote Hill Road. Due to the construction of the Stanford Trail, the installation of new parking stalls along Coyote Hill Road, and future developments in the area, vehicular volumes are on the rise. Because of this, a new traffic signal is warranted to improve the overall safety of the intersection. The work will consist of removing traffic islands; minor roadway excavation; installing new curb and gutter; installing County-furnished traffic signal standards, in-pavement vehicle and bicycle loop detectors, vehicular and pedestrian signal equipment, traffic related cabinets, underground conduit, wiring, and other electrical equipment; removal and replacement of traffic stripes, pavement markings, and pavement markers; and other details of work not mentioned above that are required by the project plans and special provisions. This project will provide a crosswalk crossing Coyote Hill Road equipped with pedestrian pushbuttons and countdown pedestrian signal heads. lso, bicycle slots and bicycle detector loops will be installed at all three approaches of the intersection. Bicyclists turning left from Page Mill Road or Coyote Hill Road will have the benefit of a traffic signal. Construction is scheduled to begin in March 206 and be completed in June 206.
