00:01:20,450 --> 00:01:22,330
We didn't receive any public comment on this.

29
00:01:23,530 --> 00:01:26,710
And just for the record was that was the first.

30
00:01:27,070 --> 00:01:29,310
Thank you commissioner Solomon.

31
00:01:29,310 --> 00:01:29,310

00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:05,400
Sheist

60
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:05,880
Had to do

61
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:06,900
around committee chair Hernandez?

62
00:02:07,380 --> 00:02:07,580
Yes.

63
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,280
Yes, for Hernandez, the motion passes.

64
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,720
All right, item number five is our regular matters.

65
00:02:12,980 --> 00:02:15,140
We'll go ahead and go to item 5.1,

66
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,320
which is our federal state regional and local legislative

67
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:18,260
activities update.

68
00:02:19,300 --> 00:02:20,000
Thank you, Chair.

69
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,040
We'll have a legislative update from Remy Goldsmith

70
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,740
and also our Sacramento legislative partner

71
00:02:25,740 --> 00:02:28,780
will be on the line here shortly,

72
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,520
when we turn it over to Remy to start the presentation.

73
00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:33,660
Thank you, Tony.

74
00:02:33,940 --> 00:02:34,720
Good morning, commissioners.

75
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:40,540
Premier Goldsmith, Assistant Director for Government Affairs and Policy, I will provide

76
00:02:40,540 --> 00:02:45,620
a brief update on federal legislative activity, and then our legislative advocate, Sacramento,

77
00:02:46,020 --> 00:02:50,840
Steve Wallick, Platinum Advisors, will provide a state update if item is informational.

78
00:02:51,860 --> 00:02:59,140
First, on the federal side, regarding the budget, at the beginning of September, Congress passed

79
00:02:59,140 --> 00:03:01,760
a continuing resolution assigned by the President.

80
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,420
That keeps the federal government funded through December 11th, according to shutdown.

81
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,980
The public congress will complete its annual appropriation, work before the end of the year.

82
00:03:12,820 --> 00:03:18,240
Regarding reauthorization of surface transportation funding, the current funding vehicle for most

83
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:24,580
transportation programs, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, by IJA, will expire

84
00:03:24,580 --> 00:03:27,240
at the end of this month on September 30th.

85
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:33,160
In May, the House Transportation and Infrastructure approved its proposed five-year replacement,

86
00:03:33,820 --> 00:03:36,820
the bipartisan billed America at $250,000.

87
00:03:37,260 --> 00:03:43,180
But the bill has not received a vote on the House floor, and the Senate has not released its own version of legislation.

88
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:49,460
The short-term extension, keeping funding at its current levels, was included in the continuing resolution.

89
00:03:50,380 --> 00:03:55,820
With the November midterms approaching, we do not expect lawmakers to complete the authorization process

90
00:03:55,820 --> 00:03:58,860
before they recess for their pre-election district work.

91
00:03:59,980 --> 00:04:02,900
There is some hope that legislation will be reauthorized

92
00:04:02,900 --> 00:04:05,700
during Congress's named accession after election.

93
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,580
Staff will continue to track both the federal appropriations

94
00:04:09,580 --> 00:04:12,480
process and transportation reauthorization

95
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,760
and provide updates as they develop.

96
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,360
Steve Wallick will now provide a state.

97
00:04:22,210 --> 00:04:23,610
Hey, good morning, everybody.

98
00:04:24,390 --> 00:04:25,270
Steve Wallick, a plot and advisors.

99
00:04:25,970 --> 00:04:27,570
I was just giving you an update of where we're

100
00:04:27,570 --> 00:04:31,250
with the Sacramento level and on legislation efforts.

101
00:04:32,350 --> 00:04:39,990
So the legislature adjourned on, I guess, 31st, basically stretched into September 1st because of some 72-hour imprint notices that they had to address.

102
00:04:40,530 --> 00:04:46,710
I think the biggest controversy at the very end of the session was the failure to pass the utility wildfire liability legislation.

103
00:04:47,050 --> 00:04:56,070
The assembly bulk at that this last minute, they will be holding some informational hearings through the fall and move on up right next year.

104
00:04:56,070 --> 00:04:59,970
There's been some rumors of doing a special session on that issue, but I really doubt that.

105
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:29,100
Next, it's going to happen. So right now, the governor has until September 30, to sign rubito, then nearly 900 bills sent to his desk in the past month. And so we'll be watching that closely. Been taking action on some of the higher high profile measures out there right now. We expect to kind of the daily updates to start flowing this week. Included in that are several bills that we've been tracking and supporting on behalf of the commission. That includes maybe 2788. This is the translation on the bill. It's on the governor's desk.

106
00:05:29,100 --> 00:05:32,300
This is a bill that includes some language in it before

107
00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:37,100
until out of the CTC to adopt an updated late-tip for Elmede County.

108
00:05:37,740 --> 00:05:42,200
The CTE staff I just wanted to know was very helpful in getting us added to the under this bill,

109
00:05:42,460 --> 00:05:47,460
because without their support it wouldn't have gotten added, so the express appreciation of them.

110
00:05:48,540 --> 00:05:52,340
In addition, other measures we've been supporting SB 1087, Cabaldon.

111
00:05:52,700 --> 00:05:56,240
This is a co-sponsored by MTC, and it's a measure that makes several changes,

112
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,720
Here's the streamline, the development of the regional transportation plans,

113
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:05,220
standard communities process, but that's about as general as I get on that one.

114
00:06:05,780 --> 00:06:08,380
But it does a lot more, much more technical changes.

115
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:14,540
In addition, AB 2015 Wix, this measure directs Cal Trans and the Cal STA to study the impact

116
00:06:14,540 --> 00:06:19,420
of navigation apps on the state highways as well as on local streets to determine what impacts

117
00:06:19,420 --> 00:06:23,160
there are, whether there's needs to be changes in how they route folks around congested

118
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:23,500
areas.

119
00:06:23,500 --> 00:06:30,040
and then AB 1837 Gonzales. This is co-sponsored by AC Transit. This is a measure that extends the

120
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:34,640
sunset on the authority to use forward-facing cameras to enforce parking violations that bus

121
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:43,700
stops and bus only lanes. And finally, SB 1167 Blake Spear. This is one of the e-bike bills. This

122
00:06:43,700 --> 00:06:49,540
measure makes several changes to clarify the classification of e-bikes and e-modos, puts limits on

123
00:06:49,540 --> 00:06:54,600
electric motors, definitions on the power they can put out and other specific information

124
00:06:54,600 --> 00:07:01,060
when there's an accident involving an e-bike or e-moto going forward. And it related to

125
00:07:01,060 --> 00:07:08,200
that to SBA 1167, AB 2346 Wilson. It was also pending on the governor's desk. This bill

126
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:13,720
allows for speed limits in certain conditions to be set at 10 miles an hour for bicycles and e-bikes

127
00:07:14,420 --> 00:07:18,900
like on sidewalks and other e-bike paths where there's a lot of pedestrian congestion.

128
00:07:18,900 --> 00:07:24,120
And it requires certain disclosure agreements, requirements when you purchase an e-bike.

129
00:07:25,140 --> 00:07:29,540
And just FYI is one of the, you know, AB 2595 happen is also on the governor's desk.

130
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:36,880
This is the bill that allows San Mateo County to prohibit any person under 12 years old from operating a class of one or two e-bikes.

131
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,120
So we'll see how that goes.

132
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,660
And finally, the last item I wanted to discuss is the cap and

133
00:07:42,660 --> 00:07:45,340
a vest, you know, I'm not going to get into details on this.

134
00:07:45,340 --> 00:07:53,500
But the outlook for a capital-invest program is concerning, in the aspect of the agreement

135
00:07:53,500 --> 00:07:56,680
they finally reached this year is a little disappointing.

136
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:02,260
On the plus side, the agreement does provide for the 230 million for the zero-mission transit

137
00:08:02,260 --> 00:08:03,000
capital program.

138
00:08:03,180 --> 00:08:09,520
This was promised as far as the SB 125 package from a couple years ago that the governor originally

139
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:10,500
was not going to fund.

140
00:08:10,500 --> 00:08:15,660
And also directs starting next fiscal year that all interest earned on the auction revenue

141
00:08:15,660 --> 00:08:20,180
account must be spent on the SBA 40, the Tier 1, 2, and 3 programs.

142
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:25,500
Currently, that money has been siphoned off for other projects and it's a significant amount

143
00:08:25,500 --> 00:08:32,960
for this year alone is about $500 million that could have been spent on the SBA 40 expenditure

144
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:33,300
plan.

145
00:08:34,860 --> 00:08:39,880
However, agreement was not reached as originally intended by the Senate to use some state

146
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,980
reserve funds to in order to augment the tier three programs that's for the housing and transit

147
00:08:43,980 --> 00:08:50,560
funding program is that and there was no agreement ever reached on trying to put some guard rails

148
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:54,900
or rain in the manufacturing decarbonization and center program that's the program that

149
00:08:54,900 --> 00:09:01,860
carved created that kind of created the mess of lack of funds for the SBA 40 program.

150
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:07,460
However, I do expect with a new administration next year that they will try to revisit the MDI

151
00:09:07,460 --> 00:09:11,400
program in the legislature as part of the budget negotiation is going forward.

152
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:17,960
So with that, I think I've set a lot in a little bit of time to answer any questions

153
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,000
you may have.

154
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,820
I think Commissioner Marshawn has a question.

155
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:33,740
One of the questions I was driving to live for more yesterday and there was an e-motor cycle

156
00:09:33,740 --> 00:09:34,260
if you will.

157
00:09:34,680 --> 00:09:36,800
He was doing 30 miles an hour down the sidewalk.

158
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:43,280
So the question I have is enforcement is going to be very difficult and I'm just curious if the

159
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,040
Legislature has any idea on how we're going to do that.

160
00:09:49,140 --> 00:09:51,640
Yeah, yeah, and enforcement is always going to be difficult at the local level.

161
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,740
Enforcement, one of the changes these things make is to try to make it more clear of what class the

162
00:09:57,740 --> 00:09:59,740
bike's supposed to be. So if it's a

163
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:29,980
A class one bike, it's got to be stated on there, the size of the motor, the speed limits, age requirements on it. Of course, blue bikes, as opposed to red bikes for the class two, yellow for the class three. That would probably be best. But that's that's one reason some of the changes made before it was just supposed to be stamped on their class one without any understanding or even making it entirely visible. But I think that's one effort they're trying to make, but also giving a little more flexibility to local levels.

164
00:10:29,980 --> 00:10:34,400
on speed limits so like the Wilson bill could would allow you to put a speed limit of only 10

165
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:40,420
miles an hour, particularly on sidewalks. I know locally, you know, cities have their authority

166
00:10:40,420 --> 00:10:47,890
to whether they can allow bikes on sidewalks at all depending on the age. So, great, thank you.

167
00:10:49,110 --> 00:10:51,030
Any other questions on the commissioners?

168
00:10:53,230 --> 00:10:56,910
I've not seen any other questions. We will bring it back

169
00:10:56,910 --> 00:11:03,370
any public comment. We don't receive public comment for this item. So this is just an informational

170
00:11:03,370 --> 00:11:10,450
update. So not seeing any other questions or concerns or comments, we will go into item number 5.2.

171
00:11:14,210 --> 00:11:20,290
Item 5.2 is an information item and update on our Central County Community Connections Plan or

172
00:11:20,290 --> 00:11:26,290
we call it the 4CP. And here to present the item is Shannon McCartney, co-intentionable.

173
00:11:26,290 --> 00:11:27,330
Thanks,

174
00:11:31,780 --> 00:11:33,480
Tony. Good morning, commissioners.

175
00:11:33,580 --> 00:11:35,220
She and Emma Cartier with the planning team.

176
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,700
So I'll start next slide with some background

177
00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:41,820
on the plan's purpose and our approach

178
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,660
for sharing a high level summary of key findings

179
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,660
needs assessment and public outreach update.

180
00:11:47,980 --> 00:11:50,160
Then I'll wrap with a quick overview

181
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,400
of draft plans, recommendations, and excellence.

182
00:11:56,700 --> 00:11:59,920
So the 4CP builds upon a number of local

183
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:01,600
and council plans that have been conducted

184
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:06,340
in central Alameda County, all of which have highlighted the needs of the streets,

185
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:12,700
easier access to transit and local nations, more reliable transit, better public and climate

186
00:12:12,700 --> 00:12:19,540
outcomes, as well as increased investment in and maintenance of public. In 2024, Alameda CTC

187
00:12:19,540 --> 00:12:24,660
applied for and was awarded a sustainable transportation planning grant in CalTrans to develop the

188
00:12:24,660 --> 00:12:30,660
4CP, which is focused on identifying community prioritized transportation improvements in the study

189
00:12:30,660 --> 00:12:35,800
area shown on the map, which includes parts of San Leandro, San Lorenzo, Ashland,

190
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:41,460
Cherylin, Castro Valley, and Hayward that are heavily impacted and divided by significant

191
00:12:42,020 --> 00:12:47,240
structure. What? We're currently three-quarters of the way through the plan

192
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:52,000
as well. Since kicking off early last summer, we've completed a focus on clinical needs analysis

193
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:57,120
as well as two rounds of stakeholder and public engagement, all of which have informed the draft

194
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,540
to improve my ideas and recommendations that we've developed.

195
00:13:00,140 --> 00:13:04,500
We're currently on track to complete the plan and implementation strategy by early next

196
00:13:04,500 --> 00:13:04,720
year.

197
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,180
We'll return to the Commission then to seek approval of the final plan in order to satisfy

198
00:13:09,180 --> 00:13:09,840
the criteria.

199
00:13:12,340 --> 00:13:17,920
So as I mentioned, our study area touches multiple jurisdictions, two of which are actually currently

200
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:23,260
developing their own community-based participation plans with funding provided by Alex Z. The

201
00:13:23,260 --> 00:13:25,400
close stakeholder coordination has been potential.

202
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:31,860
Our Technical Advisory Committee includes representatives from here, and community engagement

203
00:13:31,860 --> 00:13:37,740
is really just as important to the 4CP, so we've also partnered with the local community-based

204
00:13:37,740 --> 00:13:41,780
organizations listed here, in order to more effectively reach the diverse communities

205
00:13:41,780 --> 00:13:43,160
that live in this area.

206
00:13:44,980 --> 00:13:48,280
Now switching gears to look at findings from the work we've completed today.

207
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:54,040
The 4CP's needs assessment largely echoed findings from existing plans, including our

208
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,200
for the countywide transportation plan,

209
00:13:56,580 --> 00:13:59,000
but offers us a more granular understanding

210
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,500
of conditions within the city area.

211
00:14:02,340 --> 00:14:03,400
So in terms of safety,

212
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,860
we found that over three quarters of study area streets

213
00:14:05,860 --> 00:14:08,300
have speed limits that exceed recommended targets.

214
00:14:08,980 --> 00:14:11,500
Conflicts at freeway ramp intersections with local streets

215
00:14:11,500 --> 00:14:14,360
were also found to be exacerbated

216
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,720
by a design that facilitate high speed speeds.

217
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,720
In terms of access, the freeways, rail lines, street grid,

218
00:14:21,220 --> 00:14:23,100
even natural elements such as the freeway,

219
00:14:23,100 --> 00:14:33,560
divide communities and limit access to art, buses traveling in the study area, travel slowly relative to cars and the majority of bus stops, lack amenities like benches or shelters.

220
00:14:34,420 --> 00:14:42,760
Most study area corridors fall within flood hazard zones and are lacking and permeable landscaping and shade trees, all of which exacerbate flood and heat risk.

221
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:48,980
And lastly, most major streets in this area are designed to move high traffic volumes and serve many destinations.

222
00:14:48,980 --> 00:14:53,880
But lack of place making elements such as street lighting, public seating, landscaping

223
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:58,520
and public art that can foster a sense of community, boost economic vitality and support

224
00:14:58,520 --> 00:14:59,460
It's over at the top of the screen.

225
00:15:02,060 --> 00:15:06,400
We've completed two out of three rounds of public engagement. The first round took place last

226
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:11,140
fall and was focused on confirming needs and prioritizing streets for focused planning through

227
00:15:11,140 --> 00:15:16,760
the city. The second and most extensive round took place earlier this spring and offered

228
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:21,280
community members the opportunity to workshop specific improvement ideas for each of the

229
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:27,160
priority quarters that were identified. We've conducted a variety of outreach activities including

230
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,280
CBO focus groups, posting listening sessions, top-ups,

231
00:15:31,900 --> 00:15:34,720
posting hands-on community walk-on, it's in design workshops,

232
00:15:35,420 --> 00:15:38,120
as well as sharing online surveys and web maps more broadly.

233
00:15:38,780 --> 00:15:41,440
Our CBO partners, tech members and commissioners,

234
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,980
were all really helpful in identifying opportunities

235
00:15:43,980 --> 00:15:46,060
for outreach in their communities.

236
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,760
So full list of events that we held this past spring

237
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:50,600
is shown on the right.

238
00:15:51,300 --> 00:15:53,080
And I'll told across both rounds of outreach,

239
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,020
we've received over 950 comments and surveys

240
00:15:56,020 --> 00:15:57,020
from over 500.

241
00:16:00,460 --> 00:16:05,520
The 4 CP's 10 priority corridors are highlighted on this map. They were identified

242
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:10,080
by combining Unity members' rankings of study area streets with findings from our technical

243
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:14,380
needs assessment, then screening those that were already being addressed throughout.

244
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:18,200
So based

245
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:23,480
on what we heard in Round 1, we drafted both area-wide recommendations as well as two alternative ideas

246
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:29,540
for each of the 4 CP's priority corridors. Overall, community members were very supportive of the 4 CP's

247
00:16:29,540 --> 00:16:35,020
draft area-wide recommendations with their highest priorities being improved safety for pedestrians

248
00:16:35,020 --> 00:16:40,940
and bicyclists, fewer speeding cars and more street trees and lighting. In terms of corridor

249
00:16:40,940 --> 00:16:45,740
specific ideas, community members largely supported bold safety improvements, especially near

250
00:16:45,740 --> 00:16:51,460
transit schools, and at the same time we heard some concerns around potential impacts to traffic

251
00:16:51,460 --> 00:16:53,200
of larger moves, especially in turn.

252
00:16:55,610 --> 00:16:58,730
So that leads us to the plan's current draft recommendations.

253
00:16:59,430 --> 00:17:12,250
across the study area, the four CP will recommend a suite of improvements where context appropriate that speak to the feedback we've heard from many of these elements also show up in the corridor specific concepts as well.

254
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:28,620
And out of the four CP's priority corridors, hisparian and the welling boulevards have emerged as the highest priorities for near investment, both segments which are highlighted purple on the map are on the county's high injury network, active safety network,

255
00:17:28,620 --> 00:17:35,560
many wide bikeways network. Together they include six freeway ramp intersections and two underpasses.

256
00:17:36,020 --> 00:17:40,980
The area is also close to multiple schools, a major commercial center, and various priorities.

257
00:17:42,060 --> 00:17:49,080
The resulting Hisparian and the Welling Complete Streets project would implement pedestrian bicycle, transit, and traffic calming improvements

258
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:54,440
that leverage and close the gap between recent pipeline projects by the county and San Francisco.

259
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:59,880
So, the 4CP is still advancing planning and design work with these two corridors,

260
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:05,600
along with the remaining 8 priority corridors. In the meantime, Alameda CTC supplied to the

261
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:10,580
2028 CIP to funding to advance the project into project development.

262
00:18:12,930 --> 00:18:13,870
So, looking forward

263
00:18:14,670 --> 00:18:21,090
this fall, the 4CP is continuing to coordinate with stakeholders to refine recommendations for

264
00:18:21,090 --> 00:18:24,910
priority corridors including advancing preliminary sign concepts for his

265
00:18:24,910 --> 00:18:29,970
variant of arts. The draft plan and implementation strategy will be shared

266
00:18:29,970 --> 00:18:34,070
during the third and final round of public comment later this year. And finally

267
00:18:34,070 --> 00:18:38,030
staff plan to return to the commission once we've completed the final plan and

268
00:18:38,030 --> 00:18:43,370
implementation strategy to request approval of the 4 CP. Any

269
00:18:47,340 --> 00:18:48,620
questions from

270
00:18:49,660 --> 00:18:50,260
So

271
00:18:54,870 --> 00:18:57,030
this is, this is good.

272
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,220
You know, I was looking at the, um,

273
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,000
the Grove, the foot hill.

274
00:19:07,620 --> 00:19:08,920
What do I say?

275
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,320
I was curious how much flexibility would, um,

276
00:19:15,900 --> 00:19:19,620
would we have with the city have government?

277
00:19:20,020 --> 00:19:21,420
Any of the area?

278
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,540
How much flexibility would they have to be creative

279
00:19:25,540 --> 00:19:32,840
as to some of the design elements to the portal.

280
00:19:33,620 --> 00:19:36,400
And the reason I have that question is because that corridor,

281
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,960
you know, is the gateway into the city of Haywardburg.

282
00:19:42,020 --> 00:19:47,800
And whatever we can do to really, you know, make it a place,

283
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,780
making place where, you know, you're entering a city

284
00:19:51,780 --> 00:19:54,080
or in really continuing city of Hayward.

285
00:19:54,500 --> 00:19:59,600
I'm just curious how much flexibility do we have to make you?

286
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,920
Make it a really nice looking gateway.

287
00:20:05,590 --> 00:20:18,550
I can start. I think the exciting thing about working on this plan was that we're shopping these ideas. You really sense of what is possible and community members have a lot of opinions and thoughts on what they'd like to see.

288
00:20:18,550 --> 00:20:23,170
and Groven Hill is our two of our priority corridors

289
00:20:23,170 --> 00:20:25,370
and so we were looking at improvements there.

290
00:20:25,590 --> 00:20:28,150
We held a walk audit with community members,

291
00:20:28,430 --> 00:20:29,610
many of whom were blind.

292
00:20:30,190 --> 00:20:33,790
And that was really helpful in identifying improvements.

293
00:20:35,130 --> 00:20:37,530
Flexibility, I think, probably gets a little challenging

294
00:20:37,530 --> 00:20:40,210
just because of how many jurisdictional boundaries

295
00:20:40,210 --> 00:20:40,830
are in this area.

296
00:20:40,990 --> 00:20:41,990
It all turns right away.

297
00:20:42,350 --> 00:20:44,710
So yeah, I'll pass it to Carolyn.

298
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:53,130
I mean, you know, the CalTrans, the CalTrans right away are now in England, if I'm not mistaken.

299
00:20:54,130 --> 00:20:55,970
There's a lot of different jurisdictions.

300
00:20:55,970 --> 00:20:56,550
Yeah, exactly.

301
00:20:56,550 --> 00:21:01,010
The ownership in the study urges one of the reasons that I made a CTC was involved in doing some of the planning.

302
00:21:01,330 --> 00:21:08,910
I think Shannon mentioned there is 10 corridors and we're advancing in greater detail some projects concepts for some of the corridors.

303
00:21:08,910 --> 00:21:13,510
others though to move forward we really need city and other jurisdictional

304
00:21:13,510 --> 00:21:18,710
partnership to move forward and I think the Grove example is one that we're

305
00:21:18,710 --> 00:21:22,230
not taking too far into project development so that would be something coming

306
00:21:22,230 --> 00:21:26,670
out after the study finishes and would obviously need to be in partnership with

307
00:21:26,670 --> 00:21:38,890
the city of Hayward. And then of course, you know, I know I've been sent in, put a

308
00:21:38,890 --> 00:21:42,090
the improvement to put Hill extreme

309
00:21:47,180 --> 00:21:50,440
any other questions. Yes, mission.

310
00:21:54,260 --> 00:21:58,040
Thank you. Thanks for the work.

311
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,040
It's exciting.

312
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,300
I'm out of area.

313
00:22:03,740 --> 00:22:09,740
As far as the take instance is very in the focus segment what happens on that.

314
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,520
Like mentioned.

315
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,980
and there's a screening for streets that are being planned by other

316
00:22:16,980 --> 00:22:21,720
processes, I don't know, serious, and letting on spare inner being planned by

317
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:22,280
other processes.

318
00:22:23,180 --> 00:22:27,680
Yeah, the project, like, extends start at Spring Lake. And that's because

319
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:34,000
there are projects under to the north, and has variant. And there's also

320
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:39,620
county projects that was raised south, where project extends and grant.

321
00:22:39,620 --> 00:22:45,040
And so, yeah, the extents were kind of screened.

322
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:51,760
He's 14th is a good street that, you know, was high on priority list, but has other.

323
00:22:52,660 --> 00:22:53,500
So we did.

324
00:22:55,390 --> 00:22:58,170
The other other jurisdictions left her.

325
00:22:59,750 --> 00:23:00,750
Going into the freeway.

326
00:23:01,310 --> 00:23:02,490
All right, go commission.

327
00:23:02,950 --> 00:23:03,250
Thank you.

328
00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:15,700
I could make it like a pretty question, but it's more of a comment on this slide.

329
00:23:16,420 --> 00:23:17,660
Well, I do have a question.

330
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,540
Miss, are you mentioned?

331
00:23:24,860 --> 00:23:25,740
Good idea.

332
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:27,960
So, how did you do that?

333
00:23:28,100 --> 00:23:28,620
Do you have the.

334
00:23:29,780 --> 00:23:30,560
In the front.

335
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:30,920
Someone.

336
00:23:36,180 --> 00:23:39,000
Yeah, there were two different walk audits that we held.

337
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:43,140
one was that experience in the Welling, and so I believe for that event we split the group

338
00:23:43,140 --> 00:23:51,420
two, and folks could go along whichever corridor they were interested in, and then put Hill and

339
00:23:51,420 --> 00:24:00,180
Grove, we were kind of one large group, and it took a lot of volunteers, it took a lot of consultants

340
00:24:00,180 --> 00:24:06,800
and staff to coordinate, and our CBO partners were hopeful in pulling all of this together, and so

341
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:24,020
We had boards and materials that we brought out with conditions and community feedback that we had heard to date and then had materials to facilitate documenting comments and experiences as we seated along.

342
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:30,580
Yeah, yeah, we had multiple stops along.

343
00:24:30,580 --> 00:24:42,970
about how many people were willing was maybe 20, maybe 20 folks, and then Rove and

344
00:24:42,970 --> 00:24:49,030
but Hill was probably similar. I don't remember for those two events specifically, but

345
00:24:49,030 --> 00:24:54,790
Rill, the Center for Resources and Independent Living, was a really helpful community partner

346
00:24:54,790 --> 00:24:59,830
both of those, and so they were really helpful at recruiting their members, and also facilities.

347
00:25:06,930 --> 00:25:32,320
I don't think so. We had staff and sub consultants that were kind of paired with small groups. So we tried to make sure that there was someone from the project team with each small group. So yeah, no devices, but tried to really make sure that people could hear what I think it's a great idea. And then I was making an observation out the

348
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:40,560
So I do represent the 14 cities of Alameda County on the MTC and I get to

349
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:45,820
meetings very close to Alameda and then I have this lovely walk along the

350
00:25:45,820 --> 00:25:52,040
Barca Dero, I turn. Keep its bow and arrow, it is awesome to be able to, and I

351
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:57,540
love the Eastside neighborhood, kind of a new-ish neighborhood in San Francisco.

352
00:25:57,540 --> 00:26:02,820
So, and one of the things I've noticed over the last couple of years is in their building,

353
00:26:02,820 --> 00:26:09,120
their improving landscape, sidewalks are nice and wide, but they have started to solve

354
00:26:09,120 --> 00:26:17,740
some chairs, some like person, um, that tease maybe, and their metals, they're durable, but

355
00:26:17,740 --> 00:26:25,020
their bright colors and like, um, false them, I think they were yellow, and then when I walked in,

356
00:26:25,020 --> 00:26:28,060
and Bill, they were blue, same,

357
00:26:28,220 --> 00:26:30,440
they're pink, pink, pink, pink, pink,

358
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:34,560
and you see people who are out on their lunch break sitting,

359
00:26:35,020 --> 00:26:38,240
you see construction workers taking a break from the project.

360
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:43,020
So it's just surprising how such a simple addition

361
00:26:43,020 --> 00:26:45,560
makes such a difference in use by the user.

362
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:46,800
So it'll be exciting.

363
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:49,020
Thank you.

364
00:26:52,130 --> 00:26:54,810
All right, any other commissioner questions or comments?

365
00:26:55,850 --> 00:26:58,850
Not seen any. We will go ahead and ask if there's any public comment.

366
00:27:00,010 --> 00:27:01,510
We didn't receive any public comment.

367
00:27:02,290 --> 00:27:08,510
No public comment and this is just an informational item where we'll go to items number six which is our committee member reports.

368
00:27:11,550 --> 00:27:12,190
Not seen any.

369
00:27:12,370 --> 00:27:13,390
I'll make one.

370
00:27:13,550 --> 00:27:14,670
Okay. This is the last meeting.

371
00:27:15,150 --> 00:27:19,130
So everyone September is public transit month so

372
00:27:23,850 --> 00:27:26,430
I don't know if you all have gotten the mail.

373
00:27:26,590 --> 00:27:27,670
Maybe it's from our vice-president.

374
00:27:29,190 --> 00:27:29,970
I see a wheel.

375
00:27:30,490 --> 00:27:36,110
A big lift sometimes.

376
00:27:36,830 --> 00:27:43,290
But I'm just good news if you've got it from Commissioner

377
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:50,200
Bowen.

378
00:27:50,580 --> 00:27:51,100
Thank you, Chair.

379
00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:52,020
Oh, well, it is love.

380
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,180
I just wanted to share a school has started

381
00:27:55,180 --> 00:28:00,460
And I have been a very loud cheerleader for all the students to sign up for their cards.

382
00:28:00,460 --> 00:28:07,820
I have a freshman and it's a much longer walk to school that I will say that there are

383
00:28:07,820 --> 00:28:13,000
dozens of kids right now that are actively riding the bus and getting around and are so

384
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,740
excited to have the independence and the parents are really happy.

385
00:28:17,120 --> 00:28:21,840
So just really excited that I got to be a little part of that and I sent out the link to

386
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:22,680
everybody over.

387
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:23,640
All right.

388
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,520
Not seeing any other member comments, we'll go ahead and go to item 7, which is our staff

389
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:31,760
reports.

390
00:28:32,660 --> 00:28:33,600
No staff reports.

391
00:28:34,020 --> 00:28:34,440
Thank you.

392
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:34,800
All right.

393
00:28:34,900 --> 00:28:38,560
Not seeing any staff reports, we will go ahead and adjourn our meeting at 1206, our next meeting

394
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:39,960
is October 5th.

395
00:28:40,380 --> 00:28:40,840
All right.

396
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:40,960
You
