00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:08,520
Good afternoon, everyone. Could I have your attention? Could you take your seats, please?

2
00:00:17,090 --> 00:00:37,470
Thank you so much. So, thank you so much for coming. It's great to see everybody here. I'm Holly Thier, mayor. My councilmembers here are Isaac Nick Farr and Jack and Alice. We are missing one. And I'd like to also introduce you to our super

3
00:00:37,470 --> 00:00:45,270
advisor for District 3, Stephanie Molten Peters, who is joining us this evening and has been instrumental in working on this forum.

4
00:00:45,510 --> 00:00:48,530
I also see Jane Cooper in the back, Mayor of Belvedere.

5
00:00:48,930 --> 00:00:54,970
If there is another elected official in the room, could you please raise your hand and state your office and name.

6
00:00:55,770 --> 00:00:56,190
Go ahead.

7
00:00:58,600 --> 00:00:59,340
Thank you.

8
00:00:59,620 --> 00:01:03,220
And here, Sally Wilkinson, Vice Mayor of Belvedere.

9
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,420
Sally Wilkinson, Vice Mayor of Belvedere.

10
00:01:05,420 --> 00:01:16,400
by the union school board trustee. Thank you. Thank you. Yes and I think we have one

11
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:16,800
more.

12
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,180
Great and yes.

13
00:01:26,980 --> 00:01:35,920
I still think you're elected Bob so I don't know. Anyway so that is how you don't leave anyone out.

14
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,520
We also have the, um, go ahead.

15
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:40,860
About the city council.

16
00:01:41,340 --> 00:01:48,640
No, that's great and we also have our superintendent of read schools here right here in front.

17
00:01:49,620 --> 00:01:52,740
And I think urban Carmel is also here.

18
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,420
Would you like to introduce yourself, urban?

19
00:01:57,170 --> 00:01:57,530
Great.

20
00:01:57,870 --> 00:02:02,990
So welcome everybody and to all the members of our public, we are very happy that you're here

21
00:02:02,990 --> 00:02:03,430
tonight.

22
00:02:04,250 --> 00:02:11,030
So, tonight is about CalTrans giving our community a voice in the SR-131 project.

23
00:02:12,050 --> 00:02:16,230
Now, I know that many here tonight are upset.

24
00:02:16,890 --> 00:02:22,310
We feel ignored. Maybe, you know, some people are just hopping mad right now, right?

25
00:02:23,370 --> 00:02:31,110
You know, perhaps a call was not returned. Perhaps a letter went unanswered, and it's super frustrating.

26
00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:38,070
But CalTrans is actually here tonight to have a conversation and to respect our vision.

27
00:02:39,150 --> 00:02:46,450
So I want you to join me tonight in ensuring that we have a safe project, a project that

28
00:02:46,450 --> 00:02:50,830
figures out how we're going to account for pedestrian school buses, bikes.

29
00:02:51,330 --> 00:02:58,210
I want you to join me in ensuring a project that actually meets the needs of our future generations.

30
00:02:58,970 --> 00:03:03,130
And I want you to join me in having our voices heard this evening.

31
00:03:03,610 --> 00:03:05,050
And that is everybody's voice.

32
00:03:06,070 --> 00:03:11,370
I want to thank Supervisor Molten Peters for her amazing work in arranging this forum.

33
00:03:11,890 --> 00:03:15,190
If you don't know what she does, she is the Supervisor for Southern Marin.

34
00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:18,750
And I have worked with her for a long time.

35
00:03:18,750 --> 00:03:23,590
But on this forum alone, we were in such close contact and she's just amazing.

36
00:03:23,590 --> 00:03:29,290
and we are lucky to have her leading up our Southern Marin region, so I want to take

37
00:03:29,290 --> 00:03:33,930
a moment to acknowledge you and really thank you for your leadership and all the work

38
00:03:33,930 --> 00:03:36,010
you do every day, and especially on this forum.

39
00:03:36,830 --> 00:03:41,950
I want to take a moment to thank CalTrans, I'm going to introduce two of our representatives

40
00:03:41,950 --> 00:03:46,950
that are speaking tonight for making this forum a reality and showing up.

41
00:03:47,690 --> 00:03:49,810
And I want to thank each and every one of you.

42
00:03:49,810 --> 00:04:01,850
We got all of your emails, we got all of your comments and we read everything so all of us, you know, have been reading everything and we really appreciate that input.

43
00:04:02,890 --> 00:04:09,990
And I know that together we're going to create a great project of which all that we can all be proud of.

44
00:04:10,670 --> 00:04:16,130
Now, those of you who know me know that broadband is a key project of mine and our town.

45
00:04:16,770 --> 00:04:21,690
I started this effort to bring broadband here to Tiburon during the pandemic.

46
00:04:22,010 --> 00:04:27,330
When I saw that children could not connect to get to school, parents could not connect

47
00:04:27,330 --> 00:04:28,210
to get to work.

48
00:04:28,530 --> 00:04:32,990
We have one provider in Tiburon, the provider oversold accounts.

49
00:04:32,990 --> 00:04:38,530
There's not enough infrastructure to support all the accounts, and our service is very expensive

50
00:04:38,530 --> 00:04:39,610
because there's a monopoly.

51
00:04:40,530 --> 00:04:42,070
Now, the reason I'm bringing this up tonight

52
00:04:42,070 --> 00:04:46,290
is because I have asked CalTrans to include broadband

53
00:04:46,290 --> 00:04:47,670
in this project.

54
00:04:48,630 --> 00:04:52,010
And I'm asking again that broadband will be included

55
00:04:52,370 --> 00:04:53,830
again in the project tonight.

56
00:04:54,330 --> 00:04:56,450
The reason why this is so important is that

57
00:04:56,450 --> 00:04:58,130
you all know we have the worst traffic

58
00:04:58,130 --> 00:04:59,230
on Tiberum Boulevard.

59
00:04:59,910 --> 00:05:01,870
And that's an issue that we need to fix.

60
00:05:02,270 --> 00:05:03,870
We've got a traffic study going on.

61
00:05:04,030 --> 00:05:07,690
We have the yellow bus GPA working every day to mitigate traffic as well.

62
00:05:07,690 --> 00:05:11,750
But broadband will allow for adaptive traffic signals.

63
00:05:12,350 --> 00:05:17,690
And what that means is that that will allow us to reduce traffic on Tiberon Boulevard and along Highway 101.

64
00:05:17,990 --> 00:05:23,390
It will allow us to see traffic in real time and adjust the timing of signals and other benefits.

65
00:05:23,930 --> 00:05:25,250
So that's why that's important.

66
00:05:25,850 --> 00:05:28,030
So tonight I'm going to ask you to be respectful.

67
00:05:28,350 --> 00:05:33,210
I'm going to ask everyone to finish speaking when the buzzer buzzes.

68
00:05:33,210 --> 00:05:44,850
We have about 60 people that want to speak here tonight and another 37 online so we have

69
00:05:44,850 --> 00:05:53,350
an hour and a half for this meeting and so we're going to 30 seconds a person and we are

70
00:05:53,350 --> 00:05:58,370
all super excited to hear your ideas but I'm going to ask you to please stop when the

71
00:05:58,370 --> 00:06:02,570
buzzer buzzes so we don't have to say please stop because you're taking time away from your

72
00:06:02,570 --> 00:06:10,450
fellow person. Okay, so at this point I'm going to ask if Supervisor Multimpeder's would

73
00:06:10,450 --> 00:06:13,250
like to make some comments, then I'm going to introduce CalTrans.

74
00:06:14,370 --> 00:06:19,310
Good evening everyone. It's a pleasure to be with you. Just a couple of comments. I have

75
00:06:19,310 --> 00:06:24,970
been following this project and I know that there have been some real issues with public input

76
00:06:26,010 --> 00:06:31,350
and CalTrans is aware of that. That's why they're here tonight. And that is also why I suggested

77
00:06:31,350 --> 00:06:36,530
invested to the mayor that we invite members from the other communities along the highway,

78
00:06:37,090 --> 00:06:48,150
Belvedere of course, and Mill Valley, so that we've got the entire group of decision makers who are giving input to this project, as well as the school district.

79
00:06:48,930 --> 00:06:57,730
So I will represent the county, some of you live in the unincorporated area, so that's my role as well as hoping that we can come together,

80
00:06:57,730 --> 00:07:03,210
listen to what's being posed tonight, give input, and then find a way forward together

81
00:07:03,210 --> 00:07:05,430
that will work for everyone.

82
00:07:05,690 --> 00:07:09,990
We may not solve everything tonight, and I'm aware of that, and we have a place to

83
00:07:09,990 --> 00:07:15,050
go with issues that remain unresolved, and I think that will be a good part of the process.

84
00:07:15,410 --> 00:07:21,810
So if everyone can just assume good intentions here that we are here to listen and respond,

85
00:07:22,470 --> 00:07:25,290
and we will do it, I do think it's important to understand.

86
00:07:25,290 --> 00:07:29,110
We have some time pressures to retain the funding, and that is real.

87
00:07:29,610 --> 00:07:33,230
And with the way that the state and the federal government budgets are going right now,

88
00:07:33,450 --> 00:07:37,910
losing funding is really not a good option, because getting it back will be a hard thing.

89
00:07:38,410 --> 00:07:45,310
So, that, the mayor's project and broadband, which I support, most of all prioritize safety,

90
00:07:45,470 --> 00:07:48,910
along with the rest of you. So anyway, let's proceed.

91
00:07:49,210 --> 00:07:52,390
We're all in this together, and I think we can find a way to make it work.

92
00:07:52,870 --> 00:07:53,210
Thank you.

93
00:07:57,820 --> 00:08:04,400
Okay, so now I am going to introduce the first set of speakers.

94
00:08:04,940 --> 00:08:12,600
We have Wata Naya from CalTrans, who is the deputy design, deputy director of design.

95
00:08:13,300 --> 00:08:18,840
After that will be Don Nguyen, who is the director of program and project management.

96
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:25,040
After that will be Wendy Callans from Safe Routes to School, and they are all right here in

97
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:25,600
front of you.

98
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:32,500
so please go ahead. There will be a presentation by CalTrans followed by public comment.

99
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:48,160
Good evening. Thank you. Good evening. My name is Wajah Hatniyas and I am the Deputy District Director for Design for CalTrans District 4.

100
00:08:49,140 --> 00:08:57,800
And today I will be making a short presentation, maybe 10 to 15 minutes regarding our SR131 which is Stubran Boulevard Cap-M project.

101
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:04,920
Sorry, regarding our SR-131, which is 2-brand blah-blah-watt CAPM project.

102
00:09:05,100 --> 00:09:09,460
CAPM means shop preservation project.

103
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,840
These projects are meant for to rehabilitate the existing roadway.

104
00:09:14,780 --> 00:09:15,520
So next slide please.

105
00:09:19,850 --> 00:09:25,950
So today's agenda, my agenda, is I'll go over, briefly go over the project overview.

106
00:09:26,370 --> 00:09:28,050
Then I will talk about the community feedback.

107
00:09:28,470 --> 00:09:29,970
We have prepared a summary for that.

108
00:09:30,510 --> 00:09:33,750
and then we'll talk about delivery phases.

109
00:09:34,450 --> 00:09:38,690
Then we'll talk a little bit about community coordination

110
00:09:38,690 --> 00:09:39,750
and next steps.

111
00:09:40,270 --> 00:09:43,170
And then the most important thing is our last step,

112
00:09:43,310 --> 00:09:45,670
which is number five, we want to hear from you.

113
00:09:47,190 --> 00:09:48,410
Next step, next slide, please.

114
00:09:51,210 --> 00:09:56,750
So just to give you a 10 second preview of what CAPM projects are.

115
00:09:56,790 --> 00:10:01,030
These projects are designed to preserve existing pavement

116
00:10:01,030 --> 00:10:06,750
and extent service lives of the pavement. That's the primary purpose of this program. They're

117
00:10:06,750 --> 00:10:12,650
not intended for major geometric changes or for projects that require a lot of significant amount

118
00:10:12,650 --> 00:10:19,610
of right away. So they are supposed to be limited in scope. And the funding, the program that

119
00:10:19,610 --> 00:10:25,670
funds this is called the shop reservation program. And this program restricts, has some restrictions.

120
00:10:25,670 --> 00:10:33,590
So the funding has some restrictions meaning one key thing would be we could not we could not fund improvements outside of the state right away for example.

121
00:10:34,030 --> 00:10:43,950
The other thing they all have an expiry date so they all program and they expired and you have to design and make sure your project is ready and go get the money within that time frame.

122
00:10:44,470 --> 00:10:49,530
If you're unable to do that then you lose the funding and then you will have to compete for it again.

123
00:10:51,230 --> 00:10:59,230
This particular project has estimated of $12.7 million construction capital, so this is what's online here, $12.7 million. Next slide, please.

124
00:11:04,210 --> 00:11:11,570
So this is a project location. I'm sure you're all familiar with it. Starts at 101 and all the way to the end of 2-Brand Boulevard. Next slide, please.

125
00:11:12,710 --> 00:11:20,590
So I'll quickly go over the scope of the current project. So our current project is to rehabilitate pavement 12.5 miles.

126
00:11:20,590 --> 00:11:30,330
at 12.5 lane miles. This is a sizable project. We will be widening SR-131 between Blacky Pasture Road

127
00:11:30,330 --> 00:11:36,010
and Reed Ranch in the westbound direction for class 2 bike. A little sliver widening, not a

128
00:11:36,010 --> 00:11:42,190
whole lot. We'll be upgrading guard rails along the entire corridor. I have an interactive map that

129
00:11:42,190 --> 00:11:47,650
I will show you where these things are. Many of these things are. We'll be upgrading 42, the products

130
00:11:47,650 --> 00:11:51,390
that's supposed to create 42 curb ramps, create

131
00:11:51,870 --> 00:11:54,830
pedestrian refuge islands and about 100 linear feet

132
00:11:54,830 --> 00:11:55,370
of sidewalk.

133
00:11:56,430 --> 00:12:00,070
The project will upgrade signage, improve pavement

134
00:12:00,070 --> 00:12:02,430
delineation, modify electrical systems.

135
00:12:03,670 --> 00:12:07,110
And one of the key things is to install a mix of class 1,

136
00:12:07,530 --> 00:12:11,390
class 2, and class 4 pipelines, total of 5.5 miles.

137
00:12:12,750 --> 00:12:15,470
And there will be, at four intersection,

138
00:12:15,710 --> 00:12:17,130
we have some select improvements.

139
00:12:17,130 --> 00:12:21,150
They're not very extensive, but there's some improvements for safety reasons.

140
00:12:21,750 --> 00:12:22,250
Next slide, please.

141
00:12:23,390 --> 00:12:27,190
So this map here shows the map of the bike lanes.

142
00:12:27,490 --> 00:12:29,410
This is from 101 to Tres of Glen.

143
00:12:29,650 --> 00:12:31,130
This is the area where we have bike lanes.

144
00:12:31,630 --> 00:12:41,350
The one yellow arc, a class 4, one in blue is class 2, and the one in green is class 1.

145
00:12:42,810 --> 00:12:46,830
So, this is what we intend to do as part of this project.

146
00:12:47,670 --> 00:12:55,270
Now, one of the key nuances here is that, you know, when you say class 4 protected, that's fine.

147
00:12:55,410 --> 00:13:01,830
It's protected, but when you come at intersection, then there's mixing, mixing or traffic.

148
00:13:02,470 --> 00:13:07,330
It's not fully protected. When you are at a bus stop, there's mixing.

149
00:13:09,490 --> 00:13:16,070
So that's why there's a note there, right, which says that mixing zones are not shown, but there are mixing zones.

150
00:13:16,190 --> 00:13:22,230
This is an urban corridor. There are lots of intersections, there are lots of bus stops, so there will be quite a few zones where we are mixing.

151
00:13:23,830 --> 00:13:25,150
Next step, next slide, please.

152
00:13:27,310 --> 00:13:35,410
So community feedback. Now I have listed about nine stakeholders here, and they could be more.

153
00:13:35,410 --> 00:13:38,190
But we received a letter from many of you.

154
00:13:39,090 --> 00:13:40,450
We looked at them.

155
00:13:41,730 --> 00:13:46,950
I have a little table where I compiled sort of consolidated all the issues.

156
00:13:48,130 --> 00:13:51,590
The last coordination has been going on since 2023.

157
00:13:52,590 --> 00:13:55,430
In fact, I have seen some letters that are even predates 2023.

158
00:13:56,030 --> 00:13:57,870
But actively since 2023.

159
00:13:58,750 --> 00:14:01,870
Last coordination meeting was on April 21st.

160
00:14:01,870 --> 00:14:06,870
And we had a presentation for Mill Valley on May 21st.

161
00:14:07,510 --> 00:14:08,030
Next slide, please.

162
00:14:08,990 --> 00:14:10,350
So let's go over the issues, right?

163
00:14:10,970 --> 00:14:13,330
For all stakeholders, this was a common theme.

164
00:14:13,610 --> 00:14:17,190
Need for a consistent, safe design and a better and better coordination.

165
00:14:17,930 --> 00:14:19,290
So we hear you're there.

166
00:14:20,510 --> 00:14:24,930
It's concerned about abrupt and inconsistent bikeway transitions.

167
00:14:26,150 --> 00:14:29,190
Now, for marine transit, there were two main concerns.

168
00:14:30,010 --> 00:14:34,050
the bus bike conflicts and ADA bus stops.

169
00:14:35,250 --> 00:14:39,490
So conflict for the class four was at seven locations

170
00:14:39,490 --> 00:14:44,670
and then there are 2021 bus stop locations where there are ADA issues.

171
00:14:45,190 --> 00:14:47,530
For the school district, the safety for school children,

172
00:14:47,770 --> 00:14:49,830
safe loading and unloading at bus stop.

173
00:14:49,970 --> 00:14:53,390
Now this kind of overlaps with marine transit concern.

174
00:14:54,210 --> 00:14:54,790
Next slide, please.

175
00:14:55,730 --> 00:14:58,690
To run, they identified aesthetics.

176
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:06,900
Assetics, they had a medium preservation, was one of the things that wanted to preserve the median.

177
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:14,280
Bike lane transition between class 1 and class 4, there are concerns about how these things are transitioning.

178
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:21,740
And that safety at Tressel Glen, they need a crosswalk and an additional push button.

179
00:15:22,460 --> 00:15:28,360
So I'm going to go quickly now. For Mill Valley, the issue is right at the interchange, where we have an arrow bridge.

180
00:15:28,940 --> 00:15:35,100
and there was a concern that what you have promised in the environmental document is not what's shown in the current plans.

181
00:15:35,780 --> 00:15:36,500
Next slide please.

182
00:15:42,420 --> 00:15:49,300
The bike group had concern while we want to have 5 foot minimum 5 foot class 4.

183
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:54,560
They wanted a 2 way class bike class at a certain location.

184
00:15:54,740 --> 00:16:00,500
They were concerned about the speed limit. Protected intersections is one of the big concerns they raised.

185
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:09,040
passed out that overlaps with other folks concerned then lane with reduction is another they wanted

186
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:15,020
they've lanes to go from 12 foot to 11 foot and then Belvedere concerned was traffic study they are

187
00:16:15,020 --> 00:16:20,940
doing a traffic study and they wanted to ensure that they're the results of the traffic study could be

188
00:16:20,940 --> 00:16:30,320
incorporated into the project okay next slide please so looking at this it's pretty obvious

189
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:37,160
Yes, that we have to work more with you guys to flush out all these issues and figure out what is would be the best project.

190
00:16:38,020 --> 00:16:43,600
So our proposal line right now is to phase it to do it in two phases and that's what that's our option one.

191
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:51,540
The first phase is to take the project that we have right now and deliver most of this scope that's in it.

192
00:16:51,820 --> 00:16:58,540
And include some of the asks you have and which includes most of the payment rehabilitation.

193
00:16:58,540 --> 00:17:12,900
I mean that that was part of the ordinal scope mix of class one class two class one and a class four bike lanes safety elements like guard rails and narrowing lanes narrowing lanes was one of your requests we can do that.

194
00:17:13,980 --> 00:17:23,640
Class two bike at one or one to a two brand below what interchange we can we can do that and then the big one that came in pretty late is incorporate broadband.

195
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:36,360
For then, what we will do is we will program another project in fiscal year 2027 in which we will address all the other issues.

196
00:17:37,360 --> 00:17:40,900
Now, we can't promise you that we can address every single thing you ask.

197
00:17:41,020 --> 00:17:47,480
We have restriction on the type of funding we have, but what we'll be doing is we'll be working with you to address these issues.

198
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:56,660
So, for example, bent out at the bus stops to separate the bikes from the

199
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:06,900
pedestrian transit bus stop ADA modifications. We can work on that. Complete the gap in the four

200
00:18:06,900 --> 00:18:14,860
class four bike lanes. And also, to its limited extent, do protected intersection where it is

201
00:18:14,860 --> 00:18:19,960
possible where we don't need a whole lot of new right away construct some protected into

202
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:24,920
the limited, you know, vertical elements and striping. Next slide please.

203
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:32,700
So, that's our option one. Option two will be, okay, let's stop the project. Pause on the project.

204
00:18:33,140 --> 00:18:39,360
No, no project now. Go back to the drawing table and then deliver the whole thing.

205
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:43,660
our project, your project in 2027-28, right?

206
00:18:44,300 --> 00:18:45,400
There are risks with that.

207
00:18:45,580 --> 00:18:47,260
The risk are that funding availability.

208
00:18:47,540 --> 00:18:50,220
Remember, we will lose this $12.7 million.

209
00:18:51,100 --> 00:18:55,620
When we ask for it, we will ask $24.7 plus whatever else we need, right?

210
00:18:56,140 --> 00:18:59,780
If we go with the first option approach, we ask for what we need additional,

211
00:19:00,100 --> 00:19:01,420
not this $12.7.

212
00:19:01,780 --> 00:19:04,760
And we are able to preserve the payment.

213
00:19:06,060 --> 00:19:11,780
If we preserve the payment, then, you know, future repair of the payment, if, for instance,

214
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:17,700
if you wait two years out, the payment condition is going to deteriorate, the payment rehab cost will be higher.

215
00:19:19,460 --> 00:19:24,580
So, you know, payment will deteriorate and that is, that has a cost associated with it.

216
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:31,880
Secondly, we might have to do emergency repairs. If we have a big storm, you got potholes, you got, you know, drainage failures,

217
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,280
then all of that will have to be done commercially.

218
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:39,080
That would cause traffic disruption, cause us more money.

219
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,740
So our proposal is that we go with phase one, option one,

220
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,780
which is to phase the two projects.

221
00:19:46,340 --> 00:19:47,040
Now, next slide please.

222
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,020
So I have interactive slide.

223
00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:51,200
I'll quickly go over to show you what we are going to do

224
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,380
because there is concern from a lot of people

225
00:19:54,380 --> 00:19:55,800
that we don't understand your plans.

226
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:57,860
We don't know what you're doing, right?

227
00:19:57,860 --> 00:20:01,560
So we prepared a sort of interactive slides.

228
00:20:01,860 --> 00:20:03,480
It's going to take about a minute or two to go through.

229
00:20:04,100 --> 00:20:06,320
And I'll show you what we are planning on doing here.

230
00:20:07,180 --> 00:20:12,700
So in the phase one, we

231
00:20:16,250 --> 00:20:22,630
are going to click here.

232
00:20:23,210 --> 00:20:27,750
We are going to do the colon plane and the overlay

233
00:20:27,750 --> 00:20:29,730
of the roadway and narrowing of the lane.

234
00:20:29,730 --> 00:20:35,310
that would be one thing we'll do. The second thing will be, we'll upgrade the curb ramps.

235
00:20:35,330 --> 00:20:39,110
These are the locations where we'll upgrade the curb ramp. So if I, if I were to click

236
00:20:39,110 --> 00:20:39,970
at one location,

237
00:20:43,420 --> 00:20:48,760
you can see, I'm sorry, let me go back, upgrade curb ramps.

238
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:54,580
This is very

239
00:20:54,580 --> 00:20:55,640
sensitive, how long?

240
00:20:58,220 --> 00:21:03,840
So upgrade guard rail. These are the locations. I'm going to click at

241
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:04,880
one of these boxes.

242
00:21:07,330 --> 00:21:09,150
It's not showing up. I

243
00:21:13,730 --> 00:21:16,430
don't know why it's not showing up there, showing up here.

244
00:21:26,250 --> 00:21:28,930
Yeah. Well, I am in the presentation mode.

245
00:21:33,380 --> 00:21:36,720
Yeah. So I'm sorry. This is just showing.

246
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:42,520
I'm sure we're showing up here, but it's not showing up there. So I'll just talk to this.

247
00:22:12,410 --> 00:22:12,930
Thank

248
00:22:15,420 --> 00:22:17,700
you from the Technology Department in the back.

249
00:22:19,540 --> 00:22:27,240
Yeah. Thank you. Sorry about that. Um, it was working here. Come slow. Anyway, if I click here,

250
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:34,340
this will show you where we are, we are upgrading the guardrail. So this will be an example,

251
00:22:34,340 --> 00:22:40,860
right? If I go here, you can see the other locations, we're updating the guardrail. Anyway,

252
00:22:40,860 --> 00:22:44,500
Okay, let me go to the next one, for example,

253
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,080
curb ramps,

254
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,700
curb ramps.

255
00:22:50,580 --> 00:22:52,920
Here are all the locations where we're doing curb ramps.

256
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,260
And I'll just pick one box.

257
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,180
And these are locations where we're going to upgrade curb ramps.

258
00:22:59,020 --> 00:23:03,260
And we have curb ramps.

259
00:23:05,330 --> 00:23:07,950
They're the ramps that people can wheel across

260
00:23:07,950 --> 00:23:11,330
at the corners of the blocks.

261
00:23:12,770 --> 00:23:16,170
So this is the location where we will do drainage modifications.

262
00:23:16,750 --> 00:23:19,250
And there are different kinds of gradient modifications.

263
00:23:19,850 --> 00:23:21,470
So I can go to one, for instance.

264
00:23:22,250 --> 00:23:27,530
And you can see that there, you can see where the points are where we are doing some sort of drainage modification.

265
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:34,680
Then we let's go to the most important one, bikeways.

266
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,660
So here is a map for the bikeways.

267
00:23:37,940 --> 00:23:39,400
And I think I showed you a similar map.

268
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,140
If I were to click here,

269
00:23:44,620 --> 00:23:45,960
so this is a bus stop, right?

270
00:23:46,860 --> 00:23:48,000
This is the current condition.

271
00:23:48,980 --> 00:23:51,440
Now, the basic one, it's going to look like that.

272
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,160
That's the one we are doing right now.

273
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:55,960
That's what it's going to look like.

274
00:23:56,060 --> 00:23:59,760
If you see up here, there are ballads separated.

275
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,920
But when it comes to near a bus stop like that, there are no ballads.

276
00:24:04,740 --> 00:24:06,820
In the future, what we'll do in phase two,

277
00:24:12,710 --> 00:24:15,290
we could do this or we could do this.

278
00:24:15,290 --> 00:24:23,030
and we will work collaboratively with you guys to figure this out, make sense, right.

279
00:24:23,690 --> 00:24:30,650
Now we will do a similar thing at other locations. So this is just an example.

280
00:24:32,450 --> 00:24:33,630
Let me go back,

281
00:24:36,540 --> 00:24:39,620
let's look at intersection modifications.

282
00:24:42,210 --> 00:24:43,530
So these are locations we have

283
00:24:43,530 --> 00:24:45,470
modifying the intersections and I'll pick one.

284
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:49,800
So this is the intersection right now.

285
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:59,840
Proposed is, this is proposed. Here we are mixing, we are mixing traffic. Now, what

286
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:06,760
we will speculative depending on how we work together, this is something that we will

287
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:15,080
probably end up doing, depending on how much right away you have and what we can do.

288
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:21,060
But

289
00:25:21,060 --> 00:25:22,700
you know, it has to be limited.

290
00:25:23,780 --> 00:25:26,660
What was I, can you describe some of the improvements

291
00:25:26,660 --> 00:25:28,460
in the slide you just showed?

292
00:25:28,580 --> 00:25:29,380
Can you go back?

293
00:25:29,900 --> 00:25:31,620
There are things like ball bouts and things

294
00:25:31,620 --> 00:25:34,800
for pedestrians that I am not sure everybody knows about.

295
00:25:34,860 --> 00:25:37,240
OK, hold on, let's go here.

296
00:25:38,340 --> 00:25:41,920
So here, for instance, we have ball bouts, right?

297
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:46,160
You can see that we are constructing ball bouts here

298
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,840
and here and curb ramps.

299
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,460
And you'll have to look at the detailed plan

300
00:25:52,460 --> 00:25:57,400
to see every location. For instance, here, what we are doing is just a crosswalk.

301
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:08,260
Yeah. We'll be great. If you could explain what a bulb out is.

302
00:26:09,740 --> 00:26:10,580
This one here.

303
00:26:13,670 --> 00:26:20,730
First diagram. This one, right? So when we are talking about bulb outs, for instance,

304
00:26:20,750 --> 00:26:21,850
if we do this,

305
00:26:26,710 --> 00:26:31,330
this one here, that's a bulb out right there.

306
00:26:36,610 --> 00:26:37,750
The one right now.

307
00:26:37,750 --> 00:26:38,550
So

308
00:26:42,170 --> 00:26:46,950
the advantage of bulb outs is that they shorten the crossing for pedestrians

309
00:26:46,950 --> 00:26:52,370
and they get you farther out where you as a pedestrian have better visibility

310
00:26:53,050 --> 00:26:55,350
about the traffic on the road.

311
00:26:55,590 --> 00:26:58,270
So you have a better sense of when it's safe to cross

312
00:26:58,270 --> 00:27:01,350
and the motorists can see you better too,

313
00:27:01,550 --> 00:27:04,890
but you're protected because you're on a curb, a raised curb.

314
00:27:05,670 --> 00:27:09,970
So that's the advantage. They shorten the crossing, better visibility for everybody.

315
00:27:11,030 --> 00:27:14,410
And obviously motor vehicles who are turning have to slow down a little bit more.

316
00:27:14,490 --> 00:27:14,610
Right.

317
00:27:15,110 --> 00:27:15,490
Right, yeah.

318
00:27:16,150 --> 00:27:21,090
So we'll be working with you on these solutions that I think that's the message I'm

319
00:27:21,090 --> 00:27:21,730
trying to convey.

320
00:27:22,230 --> 00:27:23,730
What we have right now is very limited.

321
00:27:24,170 --> 00:27:24,990
We understand that.

322
00:27:25,550 --> 00:27:30,090
But we are now as our face to project, we'll be working with you to find these kinds of solutions

323
00:27:30,650 --> 00:27:33,750
that we can fund and that can also improve safety.

324
00:27:35,170 --> 00:27:35,610
We're

325
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,740
not going to have people yelling in the audience so that's not time for questions.

326
00:27:43,740 --> 00:27:48,540
I'm going to let the presentation finish and then you'll have an opportunity to speak

327
00:27:48,540 --> 00:27:49,340
in public comment.

328
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:51,480
Okay.

329
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,580
Let me quickly go to what we're going to do in phase two.

330
00:27:54,420 --> 00:28:00,760
So phase two, we are dropping a few programs right now about eight of them for utility

331
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,520
conflicts and right away reasons.

332
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,680
So we will do those that remain in curb ramp.

333
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,920
We will do some side rock improvements in coordination with you people.

334
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,500
or remaining drainage improvements.

335
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,000
We have a few drainage improvements,

336
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,080
colors that we are dropping right now.

337
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,360
We will take care of those.

338
00:28:18,660 --> 00:28:20,360
There are some electrical message signs.

339
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,480
Then the biggest thing will be the bus bike conflict.

340
00:28:23,820 --> 00:28:24,960
We will address all of those.

341
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,560
And then we will do the bus stops at ADA improvements.

342
00:28:29,100 --> 00:28:31,040
And then we will do the protected intersection,

343
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:32,980
which is limited, what I just talked about.

344
00:28:33,980 --> 00:28:36,300
So if I go back to

345
00:28:40,590 --> 00:28:41,670
my presentation,

346
00:28:43,570 --> 00:28:44,010
Okay.

347
00:28:56,390 --> 00:28:57,790
Okay. Thank you very much.

348
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,500
Okay. Next step. This is, so what are we going to do next step?

349
00:29:14,660 --> 00:29:21,420
First week for the phase one, we will update the plans for the phase one. Next thing we intend

350
00:29:21,420 --> 00:29:26,320
to do is incorporate the broadband scope. But the key thing here for incorporating the bedboards

351
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:33,540
is that we need 100% plans for the broadband. And since we have a very short amount of time remaining,

352
00:29:33,540 --> 00:29:44,400
It's important that the, you know, the broadband plans are complete so that we can incorporate them and then secondly, of course, the corporate agreement to fund the work.

353
00:29:45,260 --> 00:29:50,080
Once we have a cost estimate, we need to have, make sure we have enough money in order to fund the work.

354
00:29:50,540 --> 00:29:59,460
Then phase one construction will go in with me on 2026. What in phase two is will work with you all stakeholders to come up with a scope of phase two.

355
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:17,980
And the big things here are, how do we handle mixing? How do we handle bus transit conflict? How do we handle protected intersection? What we can do about protected intersection? And I think all those things are big safety elements.

356
00:30:20,780 --> 00:30:23,340
So now we want to hear from you. Thank you.

357
00:30:25,550 --> 00:30:29,830
Okay. Thank you so much for that. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

358
00:30:31,870 --> 00:30:32,610
Thank you.

359
00:30:33,030 --> 00:30:38,430
Now, Wendy Collins from Safe Routes School is going to do a very short presentation,

360
00:30:39,030 --> 00:30:42,350
and then we are going to hear from each and every one of you.

361
00:30:42,730 --> 00:30:47,450
If you have not signed in, we're doing this sign-in so we can figure out how much time

362
00:30:48,010 --> 00:30:50,790
everyone can have to speak and to make sure we don't miss anybody.

363
00:30:51,210 --> 00:30:53,770
If you have not signed in, please sign in.

364
00:30:54,190 --> 00:30:55,290
The sheets are on the table.

365
00:30:55,750 --> 00:31:01,210
Also this will be used to provide later project information to you and to invite you to

366
00:31:01,210 --> 00:31:03,290
anything in the future regarding the project.

367
00:31:07,220 --> 00:31:07,380
Okay.

368
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:08,660
Thank you.

369
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:09,020
Whoa.

370
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:12,180
Is it on?

371
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:13,040
Yes.

372
00:31:13,260 --> 00:31:13,380
Good.

373
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:13,840
All right.

374
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:15,780
Hi, my name is Wendy Callons.

375
00:31:15,900 --> 00:31:19,040
I'm the Task Force Coordinator for the Safe Roots and Schools Program.

376
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,700
Safe Roots and Schools is a program of the Transportation Authority of Marin.

377
00:31:23,460 --> 00:31:30,540
I've been asked to outline the Marin Safe Roots and Schools involvement with the CalTrans project on Highway 131 or Tibran Boulevard.

378
00:31:30,540 --> 00:31:37,900
Safe Roots of Schools has been working with CalTrans on this for over a decade, even before the Paving Project began.

379
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,020
Safe Roots of Schools has task forces in every school district in Marin.

380
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:49,400
Each task force consists of representation from the city's public works departments, police departments, elected official.

381
00:31:50,180 --> 00:31:54,140
Each school district has one representative each from the school board and the staff.

382
00:31:54,140 --> 00:32:00,500
and it also includes the safe routes, parent volunteers, and any community members with interest in school travel.

383
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,660
And I'm cutting this down in the interest of time, so I've taken some things out.

384
00:32:06,620 --> 00:32:10,620
So our first meeting addressing Tiburon Boulevard was a decade ago.

385
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:18,420
When we held a virtual walkout audit right here, we headed up on the screen, and we looked at all of Tiburon Boulevard,

386
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:25,660
and CalTrans representatives did attend this meeting and from there we created an issue list

387
00:32:25,660 --> 00:32:31,300
of all the improvements that were identified and these included eight different intersections

388
00:32:31,300 --> 00:32:37,320
on the road. So when CalTrans announced that the repaving project, we took advantage of this

389
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:44,660
opportunity to ask them to address these issues and many of the issues that we have asked

390
00:32:44,660 --> 00:32:47,960
for you just saw are now in the project.

391
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,340
We also saw that there were just class two bike lanes

392
00:32:51,340 --> 00:32:54,680
on Tiburon Boulevard and we requested that they be upgraded

393
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,520
to class four or protected bike lanes.

394
00:32:58,220 --> 00:33:01,860
We also provide suggested route maps for all our schools.

395
00:33:02,500 --> 00:33:05,760
These are created through a workshop with school representatives

396
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,380
to identify the common routes to schools.

397
00:33:09,060 --> 00:33:11,000
These are then vetted by the town engineers

398
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,520
and reviewed by the task force.

399
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:18,400
The suggested routes for the school children along this corridor are Greenwood Cove, Greenwood

400
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:23,620
Beach Road and the Old Rail Trail, plus we've identified some back roads for the students

401
00:33:23,620 --> 00:33:28,560
that live on the north side of Tiburon Boulevard using the steps lanes and paths that exist

402
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:28,940
there.

403
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,940
In discussions with the task force and with neighbors on Greenwood Beach Road, it was agreed

404
00:33:33,940 --> 00:33:39,540
that locating the fast-moving bicyclists to Tiburon Boulevard would create a safer environment

405
00:33:39,540 --> 00:33:45,000
for the school children and inexperienced bicyclists on greenwood beach and cove roads

406
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:49,800
and would make designating those roads for school travel more amenable to the neighbors.

407
00:33:50,980 --> 00:33:56,840
In addition to task forces, Safe Roots of Schools also offers safety classes during regular PE

408
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:02,360
in 2nd, 4th, and 6th grade instructing students on safe walking and bicycle behavior.

409
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:07,200
Second grade class is focused on pedestrian safety.

410
00:34:08,260 --> 00:34:12,880
Fourth grade lessons introduced bicycle safety, focusing on safe riding practices,

411
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:19,680
which includes an in-class presentation and hands-on bike rodeo to enforce the skills.

412
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:25,360
Then in sixth grade we build on these prior lessons and students learn in the classroom and on the bike

413
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:29,580
with an emphasis on understanding traffic laws and riding confidently.

414
00:34:30,260 --> 00:34:35,620
Safe Roots of Schools has also been actively involved in discouraging the type 2 throttle

415
00:34:35,620 --> 00:34:40,400
bikes e-bikes that middle school students have been using.

416
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:46,020
And we've encouraged the middle schools to create a registry program to remove them

417
00:34:46,020 --> 00:34:46,880
from the campuses.

418
00:34:47,540 --> 00:34:53,100
We also participated in the county task force that resulted in making those bikes illegal

419
00:34:53,100 --> 00:34:59,040
in Marin County for anyone under 16, which will be implemented on July 1st.

420
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,840
and they'll be a whole education program that goes along with it.

421
00:35:02,780 --> 00:35:06,540
Safe Roots of Schools by its very name makes safety of the utmost importance.

422
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,900
We look forward to the improvements on Tipperon Boulevard

423
00:35:09,900 --> 00:35:14,300
in order to make the journey to school safer for students walking and biking to school

424
00:35:14,300 --> 00:35:18,920
on the suggested routes of Greenwood Cove, Beach and the Old Rail Trail,

425
00:35:19,500 --> 00:35:21,780
and to improve the crossings along the Boulevard.

426
00:35:22,180 --> 00:35:22,840
Thank you.

427
00:35:24,020 --> 00:35:25,160
Thank you so much.

428
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:25,920
Thank you.

429
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:27,620
and I have the route that's there.

430
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,540
Okay, so at this time we're going to take some public comment.

431
00:35:34,900 --> 00:35:40,700
I'm going to ask our town clerk first to pull online to see how many individuals would

432
00:35:40,700 --> 00:35:45,580
like to speak online so we can give you guys the maximum amount of time to speak tonight.

433
00:35:46,500 --> 00:35:47,460
Thanks Madam Mayor.

434
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:53,460
If you're calling in online just so we can get a sense of how many speakers we have tonight

435
00:35:54,100 --> 00:35:56,760
and you would like to speak please raise your hand now.

436
00:35:57,340 --> 00:36:06,880
You can press the raise hand button on your webinar controls bar on the bottom of your Zoom window or on your smartphone screen. If you're on a phone, you can dial star nine to raise your hand.

437
00:36:07,240 --> 00:36:09,400
So I'm seeing some hands going up.

438
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:11,660
Just give it a second here.

439
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,800
So again, if you're online and you would like to speak tonight, please raise your hand now.

440
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,120
So we can get a sense of our number of speakers.

441
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:32,600
Madam Mayor, I'm seeing four hands right now online.

442
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:39,840
Okay, great. That puts us at 45 speakers, which is perfect. We can now double your time and go to a minute each.

443
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:47,180
So I'm going to call people up and I will ask that you be ready or come up shortly.

444
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:56,620
The first speaker is Sally Pasternak followed by Becky Pringle. David. Oh, no, I'm sorry. Sally's not speaking.

445
00:36:56,620 --> 00:37:03,320
Becky, sorry Sally. Becky Pringle is the first speaker followed by David McCoy

446
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:13,100
and then we have Warren Wells. After that is Wendy Andrew Lou, Tom Nower, Mike

447
00:37:13,100 --> 00:37:15,320
Shepard, and Terrell Cullaway.

448
00:37:18,030 --> 00:37:23,750
Okay, is Becky here? Becky Pringle? Okay, I'm going to

449
00:37:23,750 --> 00:37:31,310
on to the next person? Oh, you don't want to speak? Okay, if you want to speak later,

450
00:37:31,310 --> 00:37:38,450
just tell us Becky. Okay, perfect. Okay, David McCory, are you here? Great. Yes, please

451
00:37:38,450 --> 00:37:42,130
come up to the microphone. You'll hear...

452
00:37:44,370 --> 00:37:44,810
Welcome.

453
00:37:45,030 --> 00:37:51,510
...a really impressed by all the organization and all of the dedication that everybody has given

454
00:37:51,510 --> 00:37:57,630
into this issue. It's really cool. We live on Greenwood Beach Road, and we really love it. It's super

455
00:37:57,630 --> 00:38:04,430
cool. The activity is really intense, for the safety, for between the mixed use of everything

456
00:38:04,430 --> 00:38:11,090
happening there, between the kids, the dogs, fast-moving bikes, vehicles, and we think that the

457
00:38:11,090 --> 00:38:18,750
Class 4 bike lanes on to Brown Boulevard are an awesome solution, and we hope that it happens, and

458
00:38:18,750 --> 00:38:23,210
I will pass along the rest of my time.

459
00:38:23,670 --> 00:38:24,590
Thank you so much.

460
00:38:25,190 --> 00:38:25,510
Thank you.

461
00:38:26,090 --> 00:38:26,110
Thank you.

462
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:33,060
I'll follow up on any of your data.

463
00:38:33,740 --> 00:38:34,140
Thanks, Paul.

464
00:38:34,140 --> 00:38:34,320
Now.

465
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:40,420
Here, council, my name is Warren Wells and the policy and plan director for the Marin County

466
00:38:40,420 --> 00:38:41,160
Bysok Coalition.

467
00:38:42,140 --> 00:38:45,700
I want to just say that I really appreciate CalTrans presentation.

468
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:51,500
Byclaims have been planned on to run Boulevard for over 50 years at this point, so I'm really

469
00:38:51,500 --> 00:38:52,700
happy to see them moving forward.

470
00:38:53,420 --> 00:38:53,960
I'll keep things brief.

471
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,580
If you know, I don't always, in the bike coalition,

472
00:38:56,780 --> 00:38:58,340
I don't always see eye-to-eye with Caltrans,

473
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:00,380
but I really do think that they deserve praise

474
00:39:00,380 --> 00:39:02,520
for taking this opportunity to improve a road

475
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,120
for all users, rather than just repaving it.

476
00:39:05,260 --> 00:39:07,700
And I hope you can help them move this project forward.

477
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:09,780
The phase approach they describe today

478
00:39:10,300 --> 00:39:11,780
seems like a sensible one

479
00:39:11,780 --> 00:39:14,540
to ensure the road gets repaved without losing funding,

480
00:39:15,020 --> 00:39:18,380
giving us more time to help develop a design

481
00:39:18,380 --> 00:39:20,220
with information for our stakeholders

482
00:39:20,820 --> 00:39:22,700
that gets just a safe to run boulevard

483
00:39:22,700 --> 00:39:24,740
that we all deserve. Thank you so much.

484
00:39:25,660 --> 00:39:30,060
Thank you so much. Now I have Winnie.

485
00:39:30,460 --> 00:39:31,520
Winnie, Andaloo.

486
00:39:37,060 --> 00:39:39,280
Hi, friends. You're used to hearing from me.

487
00:39:40,240 --> 00:39:44,220
90% of the controversy in this project is the section

488
00:39:44,220 --> 00:39:46,060
between Tresil Glen and Blackfield.

489
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:50,400
This is the section that creates issues for the yellow bus program

490
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:51,540
in the Tibberon schools.

491
00:39:51,700 --> 00:39:54,520
It creates increased bike and car conflicts

492
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,160
at the intersection of Tresil Glen,

493
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:57,900
Reed Ranch, Cecilia, and Jefferson.

494
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,340
This section is also completely unnecessary

495
00:40:01,340 --> 00:40:03,400
because of Greenwood Beach Road,

496
00:40:03,500 --> 00:40:05,820
which is a safer, more beautiful,

497
00:40:06,100 --> 00:40:07,720
and already established bike route.

498
00:40:08,180 --> 00:40:09,640
For all of you bikers who are here,

499
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:11,900
you might not realize this,

500
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:13,120
but it's this section where you turn,

501
00:40:13,620 --> 00:40:14,800
if you're coming into town,

502
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,220
you turn right at the Union 76

503
00:40:16,220 --> 00:40:18,280
and it's that lovely street where life hurt houses.

504
00:40:19,420 --> 00:40:21,360
Even the Marin Bike Coalition noted,

505
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,240
no doubt that many people will still choose

506
00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:26,000
to travel along the side street,

507
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,860
and nothing in the proposed project will force writers

508
00:40:28,860 --> 00:40:30,800
to travel on Tiberon Boulevard.

509
00:40:31,780 --> 00:40:34,400
Taking any racer to that section of bike lane

510
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:38,120
on your plans cannot set this project back two years,

511
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,880
and it should actually save CalTrans some money.

512
00:40:41,900 --> 00:40:44,340
CalTrans is not published a project plan to the public,

513
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:45,440
I will also note that,

514
00:40:45,580 --> 00:40:47,260
so there are some other outstanding issues

515
00:40:47,700 --> 00:40:50,480
like a left hand speed up lane off of Cecilia

516
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,200
that I'm just not even sure if that's been addressed or not.

517
00:40:53,200 --> 00:41:00,100
Thank you. Thank you so much. Next, we have Tom Nower, followed by Mike

518
00:41:00,100 --> 00:41:06,100
Shepard and Terrell Cullaway. Hi everyone, I'm Tom Knauer. My family

519
00:41:06,100 --> 00:41:10,120
are and I are long-term residents of the Bellair neighborhood more than 20

520
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:16,700
years. We walk, run, cycle, green would be trod on a daily basis. My sons

521
00:41:16,700 --> 00:41:22,460
commuted to Delmar school and so you know we're very familiar with that path and the

522
00:41:22,460 --> 00:41:23,420
the traffic that's on there.

523
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:25,320
I'm also an avid cyclist.

524
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,060
I'm a member of the Marin Bike Coalition

525
00:41:27,060 --> 00:41:29,580
and also the Coyotes Tiberon Bike Club.

526
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,420
And so I want to make the point that while I share

527
00:41:32,420 --> 00:41:35,820
the goals of the Bike Coalition to get better

528
00:41:35,820 --> 00:41:39,520
and safer access, I strongly oppose this project

529
00:41:40,260 --> 00:41:41,500
for a variety of reasons.

530
00:41:41,860 --> 00:41:44,240
First of all, I want to make sure that people understand,

531
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:46,560
you know, again, we are the local residents.

532
00:41:47,140 --> 00:41:48,460
Many Mike Club members are here

533
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:50,240
and are also in opposition.

534
00:41:50,240 --> 00:41:54,880
We use that path much more regularly than anybody else outside of Tebaron.

535
00:41:55,100 --> 00:41:59,340
We see the traffic on and off and many of our kids use that path.

536
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:07,240
The fact of the matter is, is that creating a bike lane is not going to have the majority of the users on Tebaron Boulevard.

537
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:13,200
Neither the kids nor the recreational cyclists nor my commuter friends will be using that.

538
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:22,720
They've unequivocally stated that, and so therefore if we see only 5% or 10% of the traffic,

539
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:26,700
maybe 20% move to Tiburon Boulevard, it's really not going to change the issue.

540
00:42:27,240 --> 00:42:31,980
So I think we have a much better solution in addressing Greenwood Beach Road,

541
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:37,000
cleaning it up, putting bike lanes or improving the access there, and limiting the speed

542
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:41,040
of both the cars and the cyclists to make it as overall safer plan.

543
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:47,500
Final anecdote here is yesterday, and today I wrote there, saw multiple kids on their

544
00:42:47,500 --> 00:42:50,820
way to and from soccer practice and so on.

545
00:42:51,100 --> 00:42:56,600
The fact of the matter is that the kids are going to continue to use that, the recreational

546
00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:00,640
cyclists for the large part, especially the Tiburon and Belvedere residents are going

547
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,220
to continue to use that road.

548
00:43:02,660 --> 00:43:07,500
So let's not throw money at a project that is not going to be used and instead solve the

549
00:43:07,500 --> 00:43:08,980
problem on Greenwood Beach Road.

550
00:43:09,340 --> 00:43:10,340
Thank you very much.

551
00:43:14,340 --> 00:43:20,980
Okay. We have our mayor of San Enselmo. Oh, wait. Okay. You're first. Go ahead, Mike. Sorry.

552
00:43:23,380 --> 00:43:28,320
Mike, I just made you mayor of San Enselmo. Go ahead, Mike. Thank you.

553
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:28,760
Thanks.

554
00:43:29,420 --> 00:43:34,560
Um, Tim Brown will have our seriously congested.

555
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:40,000
I am a bike rider, too. I think Greenwood Beach is better.

556
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:55,220
but if you go ahead and do this project, please trade something off out of phase two to get the bike bypasses into phase one because otherwise we will strangle during phase one.

557
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:56,400
We will just strangle.

558
00:43:57,120 --> 00:44:05,360
And second, if the project goes ahead, please it's going to slow down traffic.

559
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:29,520
Okay, fair enough. It accommodates everybody safer. It's going to slow down traffic. Please phase the lights better and change the timing of the light at Tresil Glen, which backs up five light phases in one direction and never on Tresil Glen.

560
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:36,140
and you can solve a whole lot of the traffic problem that way and speed

561
00:44:36,140 --> 00:44:40,700
things up. Thank you. Thank you so much. Now we have the mayor of San

562
00:44:40,700 --> 00:44:45,440
Ensemble, Terrell Cullaway. Terrell Cullaway, mayor of San Ensemble, but I'm also

563
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:48,940
the executive director of Marine County bicycle coalition and that's also why I'm

564
00:44:48,940 --> 00:44:54,320
here. I just want to call out, so Wendy Callins, you might not know this, but she is

565
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:58,580
one of the co-founders of Safe Routes to Schools. That program started in

566
00:44:58,580 --> 00:44:59,860
Maureen County, it's now nation-

567
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:29,880
I am super proud of that program, and I feel like their process for bringing a project like this to fruition, along with the leadership of Stephanie Molten-Peter's, is to really be commended. It brings so many different people to the table. And like she said, they've been talking about it for 10 years. They have police there. They have fire there. They have the superintendents of schools. They have parents. They have all kinds of people at these meetings.

568
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:35,760
deciding these projects. I'm very excited by what I saw in your phase two and your bypass lanes.

569
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:40,140
I think you've been really listening to what people have been saying over the past few months.

570
00:45:40,580 --> 00:45:46,060
It could have been done differently, but we're really proud of it, and I'm stoked to write it. So

571
00:45:46,060 --> 00:45:56,220
thanks. Thank you so much, Mayor. Okay, now we have Brian Andrewloo, followed by Bill Hoppen and Bob

572
00:46:02,720 --> 00:46:09,940
I'm Brian Andrewler. I live up Red Ranch Road. I'm also focused mostly on the part of the

573
00:46:09,940 --> 00:46:14,100
project, the bike lines that are between Blackfield and Trustle Glen. But I have to start

574
00:46:14,100 --> 00:46:20,460
back and say, how did we get here? We're at a 95% point where we're worried about losing

575
00:46:20,460 --> 00:46:26,240
money and pushing things into phase two. And assuming we'll get that money, is that money

576
00:46:26,240 --> 00:46:31,260
going to happen and phase two is three years out. That doesn't really satisfy me. I think

577
00:46:31,260 --> 00:46:37,480
we need to understand that it's our road in Tiberan, in Bolivia. This is our, the heart,

578
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:43,420
this is the veins and the arteries of our town. And we need to get this right and take our

579
00:46:43,420 --> 00:46:48,760
time. And $12.7 million, whether we might lose it or might not, that's $1,000 a person

580
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:53,300
in town. That it's not worth getting something wrong because we're worried about losing some

581
00:46:53,300 --> 00:47:00,100
money. Let's get this right. If we snarl traffic and make things unsafe or put kids on e-bikes

582
00:47:00,100 --> 00:47:04,980
out on tibar on boulevard, people going 45 miles an hour and someone dies, that's not

583
00:47:04,980 --> 00:47:10,100
the right answer. Second, are we really talking about reducing the width of our lanes, our

584
00:47:10,100 --> 00:47:16,360
car lanes, and reducing the speed limit? When traffic is a major issue in this town, I just don't

585
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:20,120
think we're on the right path. I appreciate CalTrans trying for phase two, but that's three years

586
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:24,140
down the road. That's uncertain. We're going to have to live with this for years until that happens.

587
00:47:24,700 --> 00:47:26,800
Let's pause. Let's get this right. Thank you.

588
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,480
Thank you. We are now moving on to

589
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:40,040
Bill Hoppen, Bob McCaskill, and I'm sorry, it looks like Mike Power, but I'm having trouble reading it.

590
00:47:40,300 --> 00:47:44,400
I'm going to start before my time so I get a little extra time. So I'm Bill Hoppen. I'm part of

591
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:48,520
the traffic mobility advisory committee at Mill Valley. I'm a long-time Mill Valley resident.

592
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:53,880
I want to thank Stephanie Moulton-Peters for giving us an opportunity to really dig into this.

593
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:59,640
And one of the things that I think is really important is a protected bike lane across 101.

594
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:07,400
The corridor from Mill Valley into Tiberon, that pathway in 2020, we built that protected bike lane there.

595
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:11,820
With the idea of it, it would be completed as a class 4 protected bike lane.

596
00:48:12,340 --> 00:48:20,600
It's going to create a lot of routes, safer routes for Mill Valley middle school and other kids to get to school, to get to activities.

597
00:48:21,300 --> 00:48:22,520
So that's the key area there.

598
00:48:22,740 --> 00:48:26,780
I also want to thank CalTrans for really listening and it seems like you're open.

599
00:48:26,900 --> 00:48:27,360
That's awesome.

600
00:48:27,780 --> 00:48:35,720
But again, I think having this forum and having an opportunity to really improve that particular areas of most importance for me as a Mill Valley resident.

601
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:36,500
Thank you.

602
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:37,520
Thank you so much.

603
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:45,460
Okay, Bob, followed by Ritz Steele,

604
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,660
followed by Gary Fisher and Jake Simon.

605
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:58,280
I'm Bob McCaskill, Chair of the Public Agency that operates the Yellow School Buses

606
00:48:58,280 --> 00:48:59,520
in Belvedere and Tigran.

607
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:06,000
Our agency created the current yellow bus system with buses serving 20 different routes

608
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,560
tuned from our three local schools.

609
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:15,000
In recent years, up to 50 percent of the students at these schools have taken our buses

610
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:20,260
to and from school, dramatically reducing congestion on Tiberan Boulevard.

611
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:27,020
The effectiveness of this program is now threatened by the proposed CalTrans plan to

612
00:49:27,020 --> 00:49:33,220
install bike lanes on both sides of Tiberan Boulevard between Trussel Glen and Blackfield Drive.

613
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:40,180
Due to safety risks to students and cyclists, the company providing our buses and drivers

614
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:47,960
will not allow their buses to cross or stop in the proposed bike lanes.

615
00:49:48,340 --> 00:50:03,180
That would eliminate all of our tibre humble of our bus stops between Trusselglin and the

616
00:50:03,180 --> 00:50:10,060
School District, along with Mill, Marin Transit, and others strongly opposes the addition of the

617
00:50:10,060 --> 00:50:18,080
proposed by claims between Trussel Glen and Blackfield Drive. Why would we want to hamstring

618
00:50:18,380 --> 00:50:24,760
the most effective program that we have for reducing congestion on Tebron Boulevard?

619
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:31,860
I just don't understand it. Thank you. Thank you. So I'm going to ask people to hold their

620
00:50:31,860 --> 00:50:40,640
And I'm going to call on Rich Steele, followed by Gary Fisher, Jake Steinman, Greg Moore

621
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:41,800
and Nancy Peterson.

622
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,960
Hi Rich Steele, I live right here up Leiford.

623
00:50:48,260 --> 00:50:53,360
I've been a bike commuter on Timber and Boulevard for about 19 years.

624
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:59,580
I've probably ridden that's projects stretch more than anyone in this room, although I

625
00:50:59,580 --> 00:51:00,300
have some competition.

626
00:51:00,300 --> 00:51:03,280
I was the Marin County bike commuter of the year.

627
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:05,580
So I speak with some expertise on this.

628
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:16,240
I also oppose, believe it or not, this limited section of the by-path between Trustle

629
00:51:16,240 --> 00:51:23,200
Glen and the 76 station, and I do think a suitable alternative already exists that more

630
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:24,360
than handles the demand.

631
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:29,780
I don't see a conflict with kids and cyclists and faster cyclists on that road.

632
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:33,420
I mix with them all the time and it's not a problem.

633
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:38,420
I do, however, support the rest of the project and I think it's important.

634
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:44,100
I think a lot of people here are opposing that and I don't want that to be misread as opposition

635
00:51:44,100 --> 00:51:48,700
to the entire project, especially the gentleman from Mill Valley who talked about the route

636
00:51:48,700 --> 00:51:53,980
over the Tiberan Y which has frankly been made worse by what CalTrans did a few years ago

637
00:51:53,980 --> 00:51:56,540
with the double merging onto the freeway.

638
00:51:56,660 --> 00:52:00,100
That area is, it's just an accident waiting to happen.

639
00:52:00,260 --> 00:52:02,380
Literally, I've had many, many near misses there,

640
00:52:02,980 --> 00:52:04,720
and we need to have protected lanes there

641
00:52:05,220 --> 00:52:06,700
and the rest of the boulevard,

642
00:52:06,780 --> 00:52:09,120
but we do not need them for the solution

643
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:11,820
in search of a problem, which is that section

644
00:52:11,820 --> 00:52:13,320
that everybody seems to be opposing.

645
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:13,800
Thank you.

646
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:15,080
Thank you.

647
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:22,760
Okay, we are now going to hear from Gary Fisher.

648
00:52:23,980 --> 00:52:27,760
then Jake Steinman, Greg Moore, and Nancy Peterson,

649
00:52:27,980 --> 00:52:29,720
if you could kind of make your way up front.

650
00:52:30,220 --> 00:52:32,420
And I'll ask the audience to just hold their applause

651
00:52:32,420 --> 00:52:33,100
till the end.

652
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:33,700
Thank you.

653
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:36,280
My name's Gary Fisher.

654
00:52:37,100 --> 00:52:37,620
I'm the guy.

655
00:52:41,100 --> 00:52:41,720
Come on, you guys.

656
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:47,120
I mean, I really heard some of my good mayor

657
00:52:47,900 --> 00:52:49,780
on how to make that traffic better.

658
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:53,660
I've got food or big ideas.

659
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:59,980
I'm not going to boom as I did as the minutiae of that at this moment, okay.

660
00:53:00,660 --> 00:53:02,120
I know how things work.

661
00:53:02,580 --> 00:53:05,580
I mean, my family moved here in 1966.

662
00:53:07,300 --> 00:53:10,100
My father did point to me on, he was the architect.

663
00:53:10,940 --> 00:53:14,400
He was a hell of a good racer at the yacht club.

664
00:53:14,940 --> 00:53:16,520
Sam, which is good yacht club, that is.

665
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:25,220
And I have traveled the world and taken a lot of transit for my God.

666
00:53:25,740 --> 00:53:31,840
And I wound up speaking at a lot of micomobility and actual transit.

667
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:34,680
I've met the people in Paris that changed that place.

668
00:53:35,380 --> 00:53:44,320
And let me tell you, this city, this area has changed significantly since the pandemic.

669
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:52,540
like it's all changed and we have a group of people now about their kids like crazy.

670
00:53:53,420 --> 00:54:00,100
I have a, I have a seven year old, I have a 10 year old, I have a 17 year old, I have

671
00:54:00,100 --> 00:54:09,800
a 19 year old opair from Germany, okay, a month and a half ago my 17 year old got hit by

672
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:16,120
car right there out there by the standard station guy was making an

673
00:54:18,660 --> 00:54:25,840
and let me tell you this has cost me some money and time with him you know

674
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:31,420
he had a little crack under here you know it's been a big hassle okay one

675
00:54:31,420 --> 00:54:37,540
you could go to a day my 10-year-old and my 19-year-old a pair got rear-end

676
00:54:38,180 --> 00:54:41,000
on Tibor on Boulevard at Blonkey's past year.

677
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:42,360
She was stopped at their light.

678
00:54:43,900 --> 00:54:45,800
I got really good friends at YMO.

679
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:49,160
You know, I got really good friends in a tech world.

680
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:50,280
And I'll tell you what.

681
00:54:50,720 --> 00:54:53,460
This whole situation is going to change.

682
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,500
And David Flannery says hello.

683
00:54:56,660 --> 00:54:58,160
He's my cross-street neighbor.

684
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:01,880
And he's going to help me because we're really good at propaganda.

685
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:04,480
And we want to get out way.

686
00:55:04,780 --> 00:55:06,460
We're sick and tired of the old way.

687
00:55:06,460 --> 00:55:11,560
the new way is the way it is going to happen. Thank you very much for your time.

688
00:55:12,180 --> 00:55:17,420
Thank you so much. I think you always get your way. Let me tell you. Okay, we're now moving on.

689
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:21,780
We are moving

690
00:55:25,140 --> 00:55:31,380
on to Jake Steinman, followed by Greg Moore, Nancy Peterson, and Pam Stelgrove.

691
00:55:31,820 --> 00:55:37,560
Yes, I'm Jake Steinman. I'm a resident on Greenwood Beach Road. And I've been there

692
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:46,620
for 19 years, and there are 37 driveways on Greenwood Beach Road, and the road is basically

693
00:55:46,620 --> 00:55:57,800
a roller coaster, and we have cyclists on weekends that are a mix of the racing cyclists,

694
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:13,460
weekend tourists that are, you know, barreling down that hill at 45, 50 miles an hour, then you've got the e-bikes that are barreling at the up that hill at the same speed.

695
00:56:13,460 --> 00:56:22,640
And so I think it's a potentially dangerous, you know, accident prone location that can,

696
00:56:23,300 --> 00:56:30,500
you know, and we've been trying. I guess this bike lane has been somehow on the,

697
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:34,920
you know, on the books for almost 50 years since the 70s.

698
00:56:35,100 --> 00:56:41,880
And so I fully support it as a safety measure for Greenwood Beach Road

699
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:45,460
and avoiding accidents that may take place in the future.

700
00:56:45,620 --> 00:56:46,500
Thank you for your time.

701
00:56:47,180 --> 00:56:47,680
Thank you.

702
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:54,840
Now we have Greg Moore, Nancy Peterson, Pam Snalgrove,

703
00:56:54,940 --> 00:56:56,040
and Gabby Federal.

704
00:56:57,300 --> 00:56:58,260
Good evening, everyone.

705
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:00,680
The Greenwood Beach Neighborhood supports

706
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:03,760
the CalTrans Project for its multiple benefits.

707
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:08,500
As mentioned, the bike lanes to Bramble of Art

708
00:57:08,500 --> 00:57:10,860
were first proposed 50 years ago.

709
00:57:10,860 --> 00:57:20,680
That is why these same bike lanes in the same locations in the Caltan's project have been endorsed in town, county, and state plans over many decades.

710
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,780
The Caltan's project has significant lasting merits.

711
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:30,640
The project is fully funded a true rarity when public agencies face decreasing budgets.

712
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:37,120
If we delay the project, the project's funding could be lost where we will buy less than a future due to inflation.

713
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:44,300
It is in our hands to steward this project forward and not lose the opportunity it presents.

714
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:50,060
And clearly the bus stop issue that was mentioned should be solved in phase one.

715
00:57:50,860 --> 00:57:55,120
The Greenwood Beach Neighborhood supports the CalTrans projects including the project bike lanes.

716
00:57:55,620 --> 00:57:58,600
We acknowledge that some design refinements are needed and available.

717
00:57:59,180 --> 00:58:05,540
We strongly encourage the town council to help facilitate those refinements and keep the project moving forward.

718
00:58:05,540 --> 00:58:11,540
The phasing project was a last spent thing and too complicated for us to comment upon.

719
00:58:12,140 --> 00:58:12,620
Thank you.

720
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:13,700
Okay.

721
00:58:14,140 --> 00:58:21,760
Nancy Peterson, Pam Snowgrove, Gabby Federal and Aubrey Federal, followed by Sissy

722
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:23,420
Mohler and Bruce Abbott.

723
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:31,440
I have this Nancy Peterson, I'm also a Greenwood Beach Road resident and I want to speak specifically

724
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:36,100
to the school safety issue, and the use of Greenwood Beach Road as a safe routes to school.

725
00:58:36,940 --> 00:58:42,480
We totally support that. We've supported it for years. I also had a son who

726
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:50,080
rode to every school that he went to in Tiberon. We help kids out when their bikes break down.

727
00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:54,700
We slow down in the morning. We watch carefully for them coming out of our dryways.

728
00:58:55,380 --> 00:59:00,780
So I want people to really understand that there's a different issue in terms of

729
00:59:00,780 --> 00:59:09,240
the safety for schools and the issues of safety and fast bikers and fast, we are, we have

730
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:16,040
an unsafe issue in terms of the growth in biking, the growth in fast biking, not just

731
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:20,440
electric bikes, but large, very large groups that ride through our community.

732
00:59:20,980 --> 00:59:25,860
So I just want to, I understand that we have a, there's a very disagreement in this room,

733
00:59:25,860 --> 00:59:30,280
but I think it's really important for you to think about that in that way.

734
00:59:35,830 --> 00:59:41,050
Okay, I have Pam, Pam Snellgrove, Gabby Federal. Go ahead, Pam.

735
00:59:43,350 --> 00:59:49,350
My printer broke, so I had to read from the screen. My name is Pam Snellgrove.

736
00:59:49,490 --> 00:59:56,230
I'm the property owner at 442 Greenwood Beach Road, which is located near the end of the dead end of

737
00:59:56,230 --> 00:59:59,030
the road. I'm four houses from where it dead ends.

738
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:09,940
I've lived at this address for 38 years, and by now have a long history of firsthand experience

739
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:18,280
in the environment on the street. First, I'd like to speak to the current very real danger

740
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:26,540
that exists every day on that street. There is a big difference between driving, I mean, bicycling

741
01:00:26,540 --> 01:00:33,960
through it even once or twice a day and living there, to give you a tangible example.

742
01:00:35,660 --> 01:00:43,780
In a 10-day period, the middle of May, between 3.30 and 5 o'clock, within 10 days, walking

743
01:00:43,780 --> 01:00:52,500
my dogs within 20 feet of the dead end of that street, I witnessed three road bike accidents.

744
01:00:52,500 --> 01:00:59,600
ones. One of them, man, came off. They're going so fast down that hill. They have no idea

745
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:06,220
of what the curb that they have to navigate to get through two blackies. One man came off

746
01:01:06,220 --> 01:01:12,940
on the pavement, was bloodied all over his arms and his legs, and I'm there with two dogs

747
01:01:12,940 --> 01:01:20,940
trying to pick him up. Within two or three days after that I witnessed two other people, a man

748
01:01:20,940 --> 01:01:28,800
and a woman come off of their road bikes and thank God they hit the grass. Okay this goes on

749
01:01:29,340 --> 01:01:37,660
all the time. It is not an exaggeration. The second thing that I'd like to say, oh I'm out,

750
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:49,240
I'd just like to sneak this in. No one in this plan is not forcing anyone onto an available

751
01:01:49,240 --> 01:02:06,820
bike lane on Tiberon Boulevard. The people who will use it and take advantage of it are the people who are traveling the fast road bikers and the people who come over from the city impacts on rented bikes.

752
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:14,620
And the rest can, you know, ride on Greenwood Beach as they always have. Thank you.

753
01:02:14,620 --> 01:02:15,880
Thank you.

754
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:27,740
Gabby Federal, I mean Aubrey Federal, followed by Sissomolar and Bruce Abbott.

755
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,540
If I get your name wrong, please correct me when you get to the mic.

756
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:36,580
Hi, my name is Gabby Federal and my husband and I have lived on Greenwood Beach Road for 40 years.

757
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:38,640
And we raised our children there.

758
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:45,240
Our kids used to bike to school and my husband is a bicyclist and now our grandchildren come here to bike.

759
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:50,220
we are not against bicyclists. About 10 years ago Greenwood Beach Road became

760
01:02:50,220 --> 01:02:55,100
part of the official bike trail and bicycle traffic increased dramatically.

761
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:59,740
Even more so during COVID and with the popularity of e-bikes. And that's when

762
01:02:59,740 --> 01:03:04,920
the problem started on our street. There is no sidewalk on Greenwood Beach Road and

763
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:09,500
unfortunately pedestrians and bicyclists often use the whole width of the street

764
01:03:09,500 --> 01:03:13,820
as if it were a park, not understanding that they have to share the road with

765
01:03:13,820 --> 01:03:14,180
cars.

766
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:21,400
And our end of Greenwood Beach Road is especially dangerous because it's downhill and bicyclists

767
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:26,540
accelerate, often causing new collisions as residents back out of their driveway.

768
01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:31,960
It is an everyone's best interest to have a dedicated lane for road bicyclists along

769
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:38,040
Tiburón, Bolivar between the 76th gas station and Blackis-Pasha parking lot.

770
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:43,880
The road bicyclist will benefit from having a dedicated bike lane along to Brown Boulevard

771
01:03:43,880 --> 01:03:49,460
for a mile stretch and avoid meandering around cars and pedestrians on Greenwood Beach Road.

772
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:53,880
Local residents and school students should be allowed on Greenwood Beach Road.

773
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:57,480
I hope they get more road safety training though.

774
01:03:58,380 --> 01:04:02,340
This dedicated bike lane will improve the safety of our streets and neighborhood.

775
01:04:02,880 --> 01:04:03,300
Thank you.

776
01:04:03,300 --> 01:04:04,060
You

777
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:17,180
skipped over, man. You skipped over, man. So can you do it?

778
01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:24,500
Hi, I'm Albany Federal, Gaby's husband. I'm not going to reiterate everything that she has to say.

779
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:30,660
But I would like to emphasize how amazed I am with a great job.

780
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:37,420
Everyone has done planning for the traffic that's growing in our community.

781
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:44,340
I'm a biker, my kids are bikers. We have nothing against bikers. We do have a problem

782
01:04:44,340 --> 01:04:52,220
that's been created by diverting these rental bike groups through our street, the peloton

783
01:04:52,220 --> 01:04:58,940
through our street, and our street, a large number of the people that traverse our street

784
01:04:58,940 --> 01:05:02,660
are actually walking and walking their dogs, and they walk in the middle of the street.

785
01:05:02,660 --> 01:05:13,440
The street is quite narrow, so I think it's a good idea to move as much bike traffic

786
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:20,680
as is appropriate onto the Tiberan Boulevard as this group has proposed.

787
01:05:21,140 --> 01:05:21,460
Thank you.

788
01:05:22,660 --> 01:05:23,220
Thank you.

789
01:05:23,220 --> 01:05:32,480
Now I have Cecil Muller, Bruce Abbott, Liz Bernstein, Steve Mohad, Liz Webb, and Sally

790
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:33,020
Wilkinson.

791
01:05:39,670 --> 01:05:40,970
I'm Cecil Muller.

792
01:05:41,230 --> 01:05:47,510
I live on Greenwood Beach Road and I've lived there since 1991 and I've noticed our neighborhood

793
01:05:47,510 --> 01:05:51,730
has changed from a quiet residential street to a bay trail.

794
01:05:54,630 --> 01:05:58,730
We have wonderful children who commute to school on our street and we love it.

795
01:05:58,730 --> 01:06:06,070
I love sitting in the children, and I hope that continues, but we would like to see this completed.

796
01:06:06,410 --> 01:06:11,710
This is a wonderful project that we have been hoping for since the Bay Trail decided to go

797
01:06:12,410 --> 01:06:18,110
unannounced through our neighborhood. It is incredibly dangerous, especially on the weekends,

798
01:06:18,730 --> 01:06:24,890
and some of you may not know this, but it's hordes or bicyclists at great speed that come down

799
01:06:24,890 --> 01:06:32,630
our road and we are the last house before the closure and I can't tell you how

800
01:06:32,630 --> 01:06:36,330
scary it is. We've tried to get in and out of our driveway on the weekends and

801
01:06:37,130 --> 01:06:40,850
we really appreciate what's being worked on and done here. Thank you.

802
01:06:46,390 --> 01:06:47,050
Okay we

803
01:06:47,050 --> 01:06:51,070
have Bruce Abbott followed by Liz Bornstein Bernstein.

804
01:06:57,050 --> 01:06:59,910
Good evening to you all. I live

805
01:06:59,910 --> 01:07:06,470
on Greenwood Beach Road. My name is Bruce Abbott. I would like to say, first thing off the bat,

806
01:07:06,930 --> 01:07:13,490
I think we would be crazy to turn down the opportunity to put bike lanes on Kiberon Boulevard.

807
01:07:13,930 --> 01:07:22,410
That would do tremendous lot to improve the flow of traffic and take some of the pressure off of

808
01:07:22,410 --> 01:07:32,030
Greenwood Beach Road. Now the second what I heard Pam Snilgrove say, I personally have witnessed

809
01:07:32,910 --> 01:07:41,130
the aftermath of at least five serious bicycle accidents in front of my house. By that I mean

810
01:07:41,130 --> 01:07:50,350
people who fell off their bikes and got breaded up. Additionally some years ago a young person

811
01:07:50,350 --> 01:07:57,930
had a terrible accident on Greenwood Beach Road and either as mine was killed or as other

812
01:07:57,930 --> 01:08:04,590
people on my street think were seriously injured. These are situations that we should

813
01:08:04,590 --> 01:08:11,850
not have to endure and we don't have to endure that. We have opportunity now to relieve

814
01:08:11,850 --> 01:08:17,990
this terrible situation and we should do it. We should do it in all haste.

815
01:08:18,670 --> 01:08:19,550
Thank you.

816
01:08:21,590 --> 01:08:21,670
Okay.

817
01:08:23,610 --> 01:08:25,850
We are now at Liz Bernstein.

818
01:08:29,680 --> 01:08:30,800
Steve Moazada.

819
01:08:31,460 --> 01:08:32,700
Liz Webb, Sally Wilkinson.

820
01:08:35,670 --> 01:08:36,730
Hi. My name is Liz.

821
01:08:37,330 --> 01:08:41,470
I live at Tibor and Boulevard and Reddred Fronted Road

822
01:08:41,470 --> 01:08:45,830
right by the maze that is to get on the freeway there.

823
01:08:46,330 --> 01:08:50,030
I rode my bike here today and every time I get on my bike to ride

824
01:08:50,030 --> 01:08:56,690
I have to deal with two lanes of cars getting on the freeway, merging over to be a bike and

825
01:08:56,690 --> 01:09:02,330
get in the central lane to cross over to get into Mill Valley. And it is very unsafe. And so I'm

826
01:09:02,330 --> 01:09:07,510
looking forward to this project changing that. I know it was only five years ago, but it definitely

827
01:09:07,510 --> 01:09:13,230
changed the way people ride their bike from Tebron into Mill Valley. And being that I also live right

828
01:09:13,230 --> 01:09:19,930
there, I work from home, riding into Tebron is my go-to route. And so it would be great coming

829
01:09:19,930 --> 01:09:25,630
back from Tressal Glen that there was a bike path and not having to cross over and be in

830
01:09:25,630 --> 01:09:30,810
the population with the kids, the slower traffic, the people walking their dogs and leave

831
01:09:30,810 --> 01:09:35,250
that for people who aren't as avid of a cyclist and let the ones who know what they're doing

832
01:09:35,250 --> 01:09:36,550
be in the faster lanes.

833
01:09:37,130 --> 01:09:37,410
Thank you.

834
01:09:38,230 --> 01:09:38,990
Thank you.

835
01:09:39,530 --> 01:09:39,910
Okay.

836
01:09:40,110 --> 01:09:47,010
I have Steve Moazzetta, Liz Webb, Sally Wilkinson, and I'm not sure Victoria Grasso wants to

837
01:09:47,010 --> 01:09:47,270
speak.

838
01:09:47,570 --> 01:09:48,590
It's like crossed out.

839
01:09:48,590 --> 01:09:50,190
So, go ahead.

840
01:09:50,650 --> 01:09:51,850
Hi, thank you for this opportunity.

841
01:09:52,410 --> 01:09:53,910
My name is Steve Mawazad.

842
01:09:54,030 --> 01:09:54,870
I live in Mill Valley.

843
01:09:55,050 --> 01:09:58,130
I'm part of the Traffic and Mobility Advisory Committee as well.

844
01:09:58,830 --> 01:10:01,670
And our main goal is to reduce traffic in Mill Valley,

845
01:10:01,750 --> 01:10:03,530
especially around the pinch points of the schools.

846
01:10:04,230 --> 01:10:05,510
And that's why we think, you know,

847
01:10:05,550 --> 01:10:08,510
we really only care about the kids coming from strawberry

848
01:10:08,510 --> 01:10:11,510
to the Mill Valley Middle School, where I happen to teach.

849
01:10:11,910 --> 01:10:14,770
And a lot of the parents have voiced, you know,

850
01:10:14,930 --> 01:10:17,510
concerns about having their kids on their bikes.

851
01:10:17,510 --> 01:10:26,850
And if there's a protected bike lane, they won't have that concern and kids who bike to school are better students and more independent thinkers, better citizens in the future.

852
01:10:27,830 --> 01:10:34,550
There's a great book by the way by Dr. Peter Walker. It's called How Cycling Can Save the World.

853
01:10:35,450 --> 01:10:41,710
And it's got a euphoric title, but he's a really gifted journalist with the Guardian newspaper in England.

854
01:10:41,710 --> 01:10:54,850
And he's done a survey of all the cities around the world that have put in protected bike lanes, and it proves how it really improves so many things, public health, etc.

855
01:10:55,590 --> 01:10:56,310
Thank you so much.

856
01:10:56,370 --> 01:10:56,770
Thank you.

857
01:10:57,470 --> 01:11:02,890
Okay. Liz Webb, Sally Wilkinson, Victoria Grasso, if you want to speak.

858
01:11:03,490 --> 01:11:09,970
and then we have Thomas signed up twice, you only get to speak once.

859
01:11:10,670 --> 01:11:12,150
So go ahead, sorry Tom.

860
01:11:13,530 --> 01:11:16,370
Thank you for the opportunity to speak tonight. My name is Liz Webb.

861
01:11:16,610 --> 01:11:18,690
I'm a reading and school district board trustee.

862
01:11:19,490 --> 01:11:23,350
I'm here tonight to say that the current proposal for bike lanes

863
01:11:23,350 --> 01:11:27,410
between Blackfield Drive and Pressle Glen are unsafe for our students.

864
01:11:28,110 --> 01:11:31,410
Buses will need to transverse the current bike lanes

865
01:11:31,410 --> 01:11:34,530
and students will need to be loading and unloading buses.

866
01:11:34,530 --> 01:11:37,750
We're now faster driving, riding bicycle,

867
01:11:37,990 --> 01:11:41,070
as we'll be in competition with those students.

868
01:11:41,510 --> 01:11:42,850
We have students as young as four years,

869
01:11:42,990 --> 01:11:46,010
or we'll try to ride in these buses,

870
01:11:46,030 --> 01:11:47,370
and we'll be faced with this.

871
01:11:47,850 --> 01:11:49,230
It renders four bus stops,

872
01:11:49,230 --> 01:11:51,570
essentially obsolete due to student safety.

873
01:11:51,990 --> 01:11:56,030
And in addition, students who ride their bikes to school

874
01:11:56,500 --> 01:11:59,390
would likely, if they're coming from Ring Mountain,

875
01:11:59,390 --> 01:12:02,150
will be wanting to, if rushing to school in the morning,

876
01:12:02,410 --> 01:12:05,370
might likely take to Ron Bolivard as a faster route

877
01:12:05,890 --> 01:12:08,110
and to assume that they would take Greenwood Beach Cove

878
01:12:08,110 --> 01:12:10,550
is not an essential we can all make.

879
01:12:10,870 --> 01:12:12,530
Finally, I really appreciate CalTrans

880
01:12:12,530 --> 01:12:14,110
being open to a phased approach.

881
01:12:15,010 --> 01:12:16,610
Phase one doesn't address student safety.

882
01:12:16,810 --> 01:12:18,630
If we could take the bike lanes out of phase one

883
01:12:18,630 --> 01:12:20,450
and put them in phase two and do it right,

884
01:12:20,990 --> 01:12:22,090
that would be our proposal.

885
01:12:22,290 --> 01:12:24,130
If we can add broadband to phase one,

886
01:12:24,430 --> 01:12:26,210
please can we please delay the process

887
01:12:26,210 --> 01:12:27,830
of adding bike lanes to phase one?

888
01:12:27,970 --> 01:12:28,210
Thank you.

889
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:40,940
Okay, so now I have Shelby, Si, Matthew, Hartzel, and Erin, Jensen, followed by Park,

890
01:12:41,100 --> 01:12:42,120
Allen, and Urban Carmel.

891
01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:46,700
And Sally, yes, Feli's first.

892
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:52,720
Hi, I'm Sally Wilkinson. I am the vice mayor of Bavardia, and I also sit on the yellow

893
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:57,140
bus JPA, and I've actually been involved with that program since it launched nine years

894
01:12:57,140 --> 01:13:03,420
ago, as its first programme manager, I'm going to embarrassed to say, it is the most effective

895
01:13:04,180 --> 01:13:11,000
programme that we have for traffic mitigation in this community. It increases transit times by

896
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:17,420
about 40%, and so it's very significant, far exceeding any impact from broadband. It is really

897
01:13:17,420 --> 01:13:25,320
disappointing to be presented with a proposal that is essentially saying that that doesn't matter,

898
01:13:25,320 --> 01:13:32,260
that bus stops don't matter, that kids, priority kids, won't be able to get to school anymore,

899
01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:38,580
because our bus provider has said they will not stop in bike lanes, which is the current

900
01:13:38,580 --> 01:13:39,120
proposal.

901
01:13:41,480 --> 01:13:45,900
That's a really disappointing thing to hear, and it isn't something that is prioritising

902
01:13:45,900 --> 01:13:52,200
what I think is the wishes of the vast majority of people living on the Tibron peninsula.

903
01:13:52,900 --> 01:13:58,620
I'd also reiterate what Liz Weber said, that there's no way to guarantee that kids will

904
01:13:58,620 --> 01:14:03,720
ride on Greenwood Cove Road. The ones on Bavron and Red Ranch will almost certainly take

905
01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:09,020
that straight shoot to Belaire school, and it is an unprotected bike lane for the vast

906
01:14:09,020 --> 01:14:15,660
majority of that route, and a kid will get killed. They're unsafe, they're unnecessary between

907
01:14:15,660 --> 01:14:19,460
and Blackfield Drive, and they should be removed.

908
01:14:19,820 --> 01:14:20,100
Thank you.

909
01:14:20,540 --> 01:14:21,200
Thank you.

910
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:22,740
Moving right along.

911
01:14:22,900 --> 01:14:23,260
Sue.

912
01:14:30,540 --> 01:14:30,720
Hi.

913
01:14:30,980 --> 01:14:31,600
Thank you very much.

914
01:14:31,780 --> 01:14:32,260
Shelby Sy.

915
01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:35,020
I'm a trustee for the Red Union School District.

916
01:14:36,820 --> 01:14:42,880
I was really surprised to see that your phase one was going to prioritize bike lanes over bus stops.

917
01:14:43,580 --> 01:14:50,660
We had, as you've heard, a functioning school bus program that transports hundreds of students every day.

918
01:14:50,660 --> 01:14:54,140
Okay, not only does that take children off the board, sorry.

919
01:14:54,540 --> 01:14:59,980
Not only does it take cars off the road, it brings students together and it is a-

920
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:06,680
Okay, key community service to our low and middle income families that get their kids to school.

921
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:24,280
Phase 1 should prioritize bus stops, they're ADA accessible. They have a safe place for four to four years to wait for the bus to access the bus. It should not be in conflict with bike lanes.

922
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:31,960
Our current bus provider has said that they will not access the bus stops as they are

923
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:34,520
currently in conflict with the bike lanes.

924
01:15:34,980 --> 01:15:40,820
On notice that you didn't even identify all of the bus stops on your map that you showed.

925
01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:48,000
Most of the bus stops there is not sufficient with, according to the bus stop that you showed

926
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:50,260
had a lot more width than some of the other bus stops.

927
01:15:51,640 --> 01:15:58,910
And I appreciate all of the attention to pedestrian safety, but I was really, really shocked

928
01:15:58,910 --> 01:16:02,130
to hear say, fruits of schools not mention bus safety.

929
01:16:02,590 --> 01:16:06,170
And I really think that bus safety needs to be the priority in phase one.

930
01:16:06,470 --> 01:16:06,850
Thank you.

931
01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:18,380
Good evening, and that was a little director of planning and WTPTAM.

932
01:16:18,540 --> 01:16:23,620
Thank you to everyone from Caltrans for being here tonight and for listening so attentively

933
01:16:23,620 --> 01:16:29,880
to the community and for incorporating responses to the community's concerns into this project.

934
01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:36,680
Bottom line, we support the proposed phased delivery of this project with phase one coming

935
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:42,940
first and phase two coming later. We do also support keeping all of the proposed bike facilities

936
01:16:42,940 --> 01:16:50,200
in phase one. To the community members for whom traffic congestion is the number one concern,

937
01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:54,000
and I totally understand that a trip to Rumble of Arc does have a lot of traffic.

938
01:16:54,500 --> 01:16:59,780
The best thing that anybody can do to improve the traffic situation is to build the bike

939
01:16:59,780 --> 01:17:07,520
lens because every additional trip made by a bicycle is a trip not made by a car.

940
01:17:08,160 --> 01:17:13,160
And so when you reduce car trips, you reduce the number one source of congestion which is too

941
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:15,260
many single occupancy cars on the road.

942
01:17:16,020 --> 01:17:17,320
Carpool is good as well.

943
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:23,540
And finally, it's okay to have parallel facilities that are geared towards different types

944
01:17:23,540 --> 01:17:30,440
of users, such as a slower route for students and slower riding on Greenwood Beach Road,

945
01:17:30,640 --> 01:17:33,260
and the faster route on Tiburon Boulevard.

946
01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:38,800
These two things are compliments, not they don't conflict with each other, and then thank

947
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:38,920
you.

948
01:17:39,840 --> 01:17:41,340
Thank you so much.

949
01:17:41,340 --> 01:17:49,680
Now, we have Aaron Jensen, Park Allen, I mean, yeah, and then Urban Carmel.

950
01:17:52,060 --> 01:17:57,360
Good evening, everybody. Thanks for engaging with everybody here in our community.

951
01:17:57,980 --> 01:18:04,240
I'm a resident, lives off the Reed Ranch Road. I'm also a bicycle commuter. I commute into the city regularly.

952
01:18:05,140 --> 01:18:11,620
All of our streets. I've got two young teenagers. They're both drivers. They've had to learn how to drive.

953
01:18:11,620 --> 01:18:18,120
and navigate some of the frightening kind of merging lanes and the pork chops and antiquated

954
01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:24,160
sort of 1950s sort of style of kind of merging that we have around here. You think it might get a

955
01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:32,100
little bit better with 101 might have regressed a little bit, but I guess I want to say this project

956
01:18:32,100 --> 01:18:40,560
is a major project for our community. There's not a project of this scale or this magnitude that anybody

957
01:18:40,560 --> 01:18:47,060
in this room could probably point to and it's clear to me that we're really needing

958
01:18:47,060 --> 01:18:53,080
kind of revising update our participation. We're talking about things that happened 10 or 20

959
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:58,460
or 40 or 50 years ago. Well, we appreciate that. There's a lot of people here that have not been

960
01:18:58,460 --> 01:19:03,900
here that long. I've lived in this community since 2009. This was not on my radar screen or I've

961
01:19:03,900 --> 01:19:09,640
have been involved. So I'd like to encourage us to, you know, pursue the phase delivery of this.

962
01:19:10,580 --> 01:19:15,460
I'd encourage us to really establish some task forces and some committees here

963
01:19:15,460 --> 01:19:20,640
that are made up of residents that live here. These people are confused. They don't even understand

964
01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:26,080
the terminology. There's a lot of technical jargon that we're throwing around. There's a lot of

965
01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:31,640
colored dash lines that are, you know, frankly impossible to read from the majority of people in this

966
01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:36,280
written. You put the drawing that's a perspective view of a photo where you

967
01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:41,880
overlay what the actual bus stop looks like. That we understand. I'll point out

968
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:45,880
I'm an architect so I get drawings too. I also understand that most people

969
01:19:45,880 --> 01:19:49,400
don't understand that and it takes a little bit of effort to kind of bring people

970
01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:54,400
on board with what's happening. And yeah for a project that's about 12 and a half

971
01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:59,140
million dollars, a Lightning Oven is great. You know there's good stuff. We've

972
01:19:59,140 --> 01:20:03,340
seen the length of this. You've got a lightning rod here for one little quarter mile section.

973
01:20:03,860 --> 01:20:07,820
Let's resolve this. Let's get everybody to the table. Let's resolve it. It can be done.

974
01:20:08,500 --> 01:20:12,020
So keep up the good work. Let's come away with some.

975
01:20:12,740 --> 01:20:13,600
Our next step.

976
01:20:18,530 --> 01:20:21,430
Okay. Go ahead, Park. Followed by Urban Carmel.

977
01:20:21,930 --> 01:20:28,710
I will. Park Allen, ten year vet on the Park's open space in trails. I served with a couple

978
01:20:28,710 --> 01:20:34,650
of you and friends with many in the room, I think you've heard that the stretch between

979
01:20:34,650 --> 01:20:37,090
blackies and blackfields is the problem.

980
01:20:37,710 --> 01:20:44,750
As a cyclist, as a parent, that bikes should be on on Greenwood Beach Road.

981
01:20:45,310 --> 01:20:50,370
There was a study done that was presented to post that was brilliantly done about how to

982
01:20:50,370 --> 01:20:55,930
improve bike travel through that section and they said absolutely not that there should

983
01:20:55,930 --> 01:21:02,790
There would be no bikes pushed to Bromblevard because of speed, because there would be great

984
01:21:02,790 --> 01:21:04,710
cost to make it actually separated.

985
01:21:05,670 --> 01:21:09,930
And it's important, but I think that the rest of the plan is fine.

986
01:21:10,270 --> 01:21:16,770
What I'd like to see is more study done on that specific section, because that section,

987
01:21:16,930 --> 01:21:21,310
if you could make improvements to Greenwood Beach Road, perhaps widen it in some way.

988
01:21:22,630 --> 01:21:29,090
Separate a bike lane so that they have a place to, you know, the bikes go in one place and cars and pedestrians can go in another.

989
01:21:29,350 --> 01:21:35,330
I'd like to explore that. This feels very rushed. I'd like more time to talk about it. Thanks.

990
01:21:35,330 --> 01:21:35,410
Thanks.

991
01:21:35,670 --> 01:21:36,030
Thank you.

992
01:21:36,230 --> 01:21:44,250
We have Urban Plow now, followed by ten-door Jones, Kimberly McGrath, Francis Barber,

993
01:21:45,170 --> 01:21:47,090
Ann, and Jerry Beller.

994
01:21:49,730 --> 01:21:50,470
Hi, everybody.

995
01:21:51,150 --> 01:21:52,090
My name is Urban Carmel.

996
01:21:52,310 --> 01:21:53,710
I'm in the Mill Valley City Council.

997
01:21:54,070 --> 01:21:57,750
I've been on the Transportation Authority Board for six years.

998
01:21:57,990 --> 01:22:01,590
I'm also on the Executive Committee of the Transportation Board for Safe Routes of School.

999
01:22:02,250 --> 01:22:02,550
Thank you.

1000
01:22:02,690 --> 01:22:07,090
First of all, City of Tiboron for holding this meeting, for CalTrans for being here, and for

1001
01:22:07,090 --> 01:22:11,850
allowing everybody to speak. I'm here to talk about the least contentious part about this

1002
01:22:11,850 --> 01:22:16,530
entire project. I'm not here to talk about Beachwood Grove Road, whatever it's called,

1003
01:22:16,830 --> 01:22:23,650
Thressal Grand, any of that kind of thing. In 2020, my first year on the City Council, we built

1004
01:22:23,650 --> 01:22:30,370
the Class 4 bike lane that connects the Sausleto Mill Valley multi-use path, which is the most highly

1005
01:22:30,370 --> 01:22:34,030
visited park in our county to 101.

1006
01:22:36,220 --> 01:22:42,720
The most important project that we can complete for the 30,000 residents of Mill Valley in

1007
01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:48,620
the next five years is to have that bike lane continue over 101 to East Strawberry Drive.

1008
01:22:48,980 --> 01:22:51,520
That is a single most important project that we can complete.

1009
01:22:51,900 --> 01:22:57,420
That would allow hundreds of students every day to travel over the highway to the Mill

1010
01:22:58,280 --> 01:23:07,780
to Tamm High School, it would allow hundreds of students every day to get the soccer practice, the baseball practice, the basketball practice, the swim team.

1011
01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:16,720
It would allow thousands of residents of Strawberry to go to our community center to get to our library to do shopping in our city.

1012
01:23:17,200 --> 01:23:22,540
This is a very significant project for the city of Mill Valley, it is the most important project for the city of Mill Valley.

1013
01:23:22,540 --> 01:23:28,880
Happily, it's the least contentious portion of this project for CalTrans and for Tibron and for Belvedere.

1014
01:23:29,340 --> 01:23:32,700
I urge you to please prioritize this project to move ahead.

1015
01:23:33,260 --> 01:23:36,300
Last point, I've been in city government now for almost 10 years.

1016
01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:41,100
The thing which I have learned more than anything else, funding is incredibly hard to get.

1017
01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:44,500
Once you've got funding, do not let go of that funding.

1018
01:23:44,660 --> 01:23:50,260
I urge you to proceed with at least phase one to use that funding to complete parts of the project that you can.

1019
01:23:50,740 --> 01:23:51,880
Thank you very much for your time.

1020
01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:07,660
Okay, so now we have ten-door Jones, Kimberly McGrath, Francis Barber, and Brittany,

1021
01:24:07,940 --> 01:24:08,680
Brittany Hanne.

1022
01:24:13,480 --> 01:24:14,120
Hi there.

1023
01:24:14,540 --> 01:24:15,680
Thanks for all being here.

1024
01:24:15,820 --> 01:24:17,300
Thank you for putting your presentation together.

1025
01:24:17,820 --> 01:24:18,720
Name's Tutor Jones.

1026
01:24:20,300 --> 01:24:22,220
Born and raised on Reno Beach Road.

1027
01:24:23,060 --> 01:24:29,880
Left for college came back and now I'm raising my nine month old daughter in the same house I grew

1028
01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:38,060
up on and I've seen growing traffic, growing congestion, and I've seen the different attitudes

1029
01:24:38,060 --> 01:24:45,000
that are held by the children that ride that road and the adult cyclists who ride that

1030
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:49,900
road. And luckily, the children are getting older, who ride appropriately on that road.

1031
01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:54,880
It used to be 7, 8, 9-year-olds. Now it's 10, 11, 12, 13-year-olds. The people who aren't

1032
01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:59,480
changing are the adults, the people who come in on the weekends. They should know better,

1033
01:24:59,480 --> 01:25:02,060
but they ride three astride across all the lanes.

1034
01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:04,900
I have to drive on the left side of the road

1035
01:25:04,900 --> 01:25:07,400
in the opposing lane of traffic to get home

1036
01:25:07,400 --> 01:25:10,720
to avoid the driveways on the right side.

1037
01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:14,400
The reason I do that is because I'm conscious of the blind nature

1038
01:25:14,400 --> 01:25:17,880
of all of the residents who have to back out of their driveways.

1039
01:25:18,020 --> 01:25:20,640
So there's 37, 25, whatever number there are.

1040
01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:23,020
You do a study number of driveways

1041
01:25:23,020 --> 01:25:24,360
of people have to back out.

1042
01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:25,860
There will be an accident.

1043
01:25:26,020 --> 01:25:27,460
I'm not going to say there's going to be a death

1044
01:25:27,460 --> 01:25:28,660
because I'm not alarmist here.

1045
01:25:28,660 --> 01:25:33,680
But you guys are all on notice that there are blind driveways on Greenwood Beach Road

1046
01:25:33,680 --> 01:25:40,420
and residents who are presently working, driving in fear and pulling out their driveways afraid

1047
01:25:40,420 --> 01:25:43,440
that they're going to be contacted by speeding bicyclists.

1048
01:25:43,560 --> 01:25:48,120
So keep the kids on Greenwood Beach Road and get the adult cyclists off.

1049
01:25:48,700 --> 01:25:49,080
Thank you.

1050
01:25:53,220 --> 01:25:56,640
Hey, we have our superintendent Kimberly McGrath.

1051
01:26:02,700 --> 01:26:03,380
Hi, thank you.

1052
01:26:03,600 --> 01:26:05,900
I appreciate you allowing this forum and for listening.

1053
01:26:05,900 --> 01:26:10,460
Dr. Kimberly McGrath, I'm the Superintendent of Regenian School District, which serves

1054
01:26:10,460 --> 01:26:16,040
Belvedere to run the East Side of Corda Madera, and as it's been mentioned, pre-K through

1055
01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:21,780
eighth graders. I am definitely not an expert on a traffic design, or I'm not sure I could

1056
01:26:21,780 --> 01:26:25,820
tell you what bend out design means, but I do know a thing or two about kids and really

1057
01:26:25,820 --> 01:26:28,600
care about their safety, and I'm sure you do as well.

1058
01:26:29,080 --> 01:26:34,480
Our primary concerns revolve around the functionality and the safety of existing bus stops.

1059
01:26:34,480 --> 01:26:41,500
the serve our students, the design just absolutely cannot eliminate four bus stops

1060
01:26:41,500 --> 01:26:46,380
around the area that has been mentioned repeatedly. There needs to be sufficient space

1061
01:26:46,380 --> 01:26:50,480
for school buses to pull safely, completely out of the flow of traffic.

1062
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:54,440
There needs to be dedicated and safe areas outside of bike lanes

1063
01:26:54,440 --> 01:26:57,780
for students to be able to wait for load unload school buses.

1064
01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:02,320
Another concern that's been mentioned so I won't say too much about it

1065
01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:04,560
It is just the safety of our student cyclist.

1066
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:10,940
We do promote that safe route along Greenwood Beach Road, and we would have concerns about

1067
01:27:10,940 --> 01:27:13,980
diverting students to a busy Tebron Boulevard.

1068
01:27:14,600 --> 01:27:17,100
So just thank you very much for considering the concerns.

1069
01:27:17,380 --> 01:27:18,620
We appreciate you listening.

1070
01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:25,480
We do look forward to a design that prioritized the safety of all of our road users, including

1071
01:27:25,480 --> 01:27:28,960
our cyclists and our very important bus stops.

1072
01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:34,760
Please ensure that that continued safe operation of our school buses can take place.

1073
01:27:35,260 --> 01:27:35,660
Thank you.

1074
01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:36,780
Thank you.

1075
01:27:39,470 --> 01:27:47,570
So now I have Frances Barber, Brittany Hannick, Kathy McLeod, and Albert Reconto.

1076
01:27:55,630 --> 01:27:57,010
My name is Frances Barber.

1077
01:27:57,170 --> 01:28:01,470
I live in Belveron East, and I've been a resident in two bronze since 2008.

1078
01:28:02,170 --> 01:28:07,170
I have an e-bike class 3, which by the way, I'm not legally allowed to ride on the pathway.

1079
01:28:07,170 --> 01:28:12,190
way. I'm supposed to ride on tip-run Boulevard, which I think is silly because even the service

1080
01:28:12,190 --> 01:28:19,570
vehicles can go faster than 15 or 28, whatever, but I have over, I think I have almost 13,000

1081
01:28:19,570 --> 01:28:24,810
miles on that e-bike, I got it in 2020, and I would say a lot of those trips have me leaving

1082
01:28:24,810 --> 01:28:30,070
and getting onto tip-run Boulevard to go over to the nugget as opposed to crossing tip-run

1083
01:28:30,070 --> 01:28:34,330
Boulevard twice. So there's probably a number of us that do use the shoulder on tip-run

1084
01:28:34,330 --> 01:28:41,450
I don't need a bike lane per se, I need a clean shoulder that doesn't have encroaching

1085
01:28:41,450 --> 01:28:44,650
ice plants and other things that are taking over it.

1086
01:28:45,090 --> 01:28:49,490
I just need a wide shoulder, and I don't think that would encourage kids to use it,

1087
01:28:49,930 --> 01:28:53,930
but it definitely would encourage cyclists not to have to cross to remember

1088
01:28:53,930 --> 01:28:56,670
our twice if they don't need to to get to certain places.

1089
01:28:58,270 --> 01:29:02,730
It's time's up, but I would also like to ask, I've been asking you this for a long time on

1090
01:29:02,730 --> 01:29:08,290
trestle Glenn, a bike sensor stencil in the middle of the road between the right and left-hand

1091
01:29:08,290 --> 01:29:14,330
turn lanes to trip a light signal short enough for a bike to get across and not to have a pedestrian

1092
01:29:14,330 --> 01:29:20,110
crossing signal that takes longer to stop traffic either way and then the little green bike light

1093
01:29:20,110 --> 01:29:26,490
you know that they now have would be great. As for the class four, I see there's a lot of land over

1094
01:29:26,490 --> 01:29:32,290
there. Maybe we could actually separate it 100% from the road and have it be like a bike freeway.

1095
01:29:32,730 --> 01:29:33,850
Just a thought, thank you.

1096
01:29:35,670 --> 01:29:38,810
Hey, we have Brittany Hanning,

1097
01:29:39,050 --> 01:29:42,810
followed by Kathy McLeod, Albert Prachinko,

1098
01:29:45,550 --> 01:29:46,630
and Darren Wien.

1099
01:29:47,930 --> 01:29:49,570
Hello, thank you so much

1100
01:29:49,570 --> 01:29:51,650
for giving us all this opportunity this evening.

1101
01:29:52,210 --> 01:29:54,850
Wanted to speak up after having a lovely conversation

1102
01:29:54,850 --> 01:29:56,350
with our mayor yesterday evening.

1103
01:29:56,790 --> 01:29:59,750
She was explaining to me about the broad-band opportunity

1104
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:29,980
We have how that would give us a unique and timely opportunity to, of course, improve broadband, of course, and then also just to connect it with our traffic lights because everyone has been saying everyone's been screaming from the rooftops, the traffic is a primary issue. And so if we could have those updates where we can in real time change the lights based on schools based on all the things we've been hearing about tonight, huge advantage. So my second, I guess, more relevant point to bicycling this time last year. I was in a pretty bad bicycle

1105
01:30:29,980 --> 01:30:35,280
accident that I, besides my clumsiness, my name is Klotsky, could have been prevented

1106
01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:41,800
probably by a bicycle lane. And the other fun facts about that story, this was going

1107
01:30:41,800 --> 01:30:47,020
from Corinthian Island to Mill Valley. On the way, of course, I'm a motorcycleist, I was

1108
01:30:47,020 --> 01:30:53,240
very overly confident in my abilities. That was silly and retrospect. But I drove by kind

1109
01:30:53,240 --> 01:30:58,520
of giggling in a way. Like, oh, there is a bicyclist accident. There's another bicyclist accident.

1110
01:30:59,980 --> 01:31:05,420
And then, actually, to get to the ER, I tried to go to the urgent care and

1111
01:31:05,420 --> 01:31:08,960
availability. I couldn't get into that urgent care because there was a bicycle accident.

1112
01:31:09,320 --> 01:31:15,560
I was the fourth bicycle accident. And clearly, there's an issue here. It concerns me

1113
01:31:15,560 --> 01:31:20,020
the number of children that we've been hearing about that are involved. I don't have

1114
01:31:20,020 --> 01:31:24,680
children myself, but I can definitely have sympathy for that. That safety is important.

1115
01:31:24,680 --> 01:31:30,200
traffic is important, broadband is important, these are all important issues, but because

1116
01:31:30,200 --> 01:31:36,820
this is such a largely well-funded project, we owe it to the justice of thinking through

1117
01:31:36,820 --> 01:31:41,100
the route, the thoughtful planning, listening to the neighbors in the community like you're

1118
01:31:41,100 --> 01:31:41,520
doing right now.

1119
01:31:41,720 --> 01:31:43,380
So thank you, I really appreciate the time.

1120
01:31:43,920 --> 01:31:44,440
Thank you.

1121
01:31:44,640 --> 01:31:45,440
Thank you very much.

1122
01:31:46,360 --> 01:31:46,620
Okay.

1123
01:31:46,620 --> 01:31:55,760
Okay, so our next speakers are Kathy McLeod, Albert Richinko, Darren Ween, followed by

1124
01:31:56,570 --> 01:32:00,620
Cass Sandi Donnell and Devani Lynch.

1125
01:32:02,810 --> 01:32:03,370
Hi,

1126
01:32:07,030 --> 01:32:07,930
Kathy McLeod.

1127
01:32:08,410 --> 01:32:11,470
I live in Belvron and I'm an avid cyclist.

1128
01:32:12,750 --> 01:32:16,450
This is the way that I go.

1129
01:32:16,450 --> 01:32:23,930
So I'd like to ride on Tiborambu-Var because I don't want to wait and actually there's

1130
01:32:23,930 --> 01:32:26,750
a no right turn on Tiborambu-Var and also.

1131
01:32:27,350 --> 01:32:33,050
So if I press the button, this no right turn comes on and so it blocks up the traffic.

1132
01:32:33,870 --> 01:32:42,390
It's easier for me and the traffic for congestion wise to just keep going on Tiborambu-Var.

1133
01:32:42,390 --> 01:32:47,590
take a right, keep going, and I'm going where I want to go down the Mill Valley, going down to the

1134
01:32:47,590 --> 01:32:58,590
Cove, and I have pinch points along the way. So here's me, and the bank is falling into the road.

1135
01:32:58,870 --> 01:33:07,150
So I have to get swore out into the lane, and it's dangerous. So we need, I mean, we really need

1136
01:33:07,150 --> 01:33:15,030
the bike lanes. And safe bike lanes is a must. I mean, we really need a shoulder no matter

1137
01:33:15,030 --> 01:33:20,010
what Francis was saying is so true. We don't necessarily have to have kids. And we would

1138
01:33:20,010 --> 01:33:26,450
never ask kids to go on Tiberon Boulevard, especially if there were no protective barriers,

1139
01:33:26,810 --> 01:33:31,910
but we have to have a bike lane on the north side because most of the people who live in Tiberon

1140
01:33:31,910 --> 01:33:38,750
live on the north side and we're just I'm also the supervisor for the crossing

1141
01:33:38,750 --> 01:33:44,430
guards so I know what's going on at each one of these intersections where we

1142
01:33:44,430 --> 01:33:49,230
have crossing guards and I'm over there all the time I'm out and in the very

1143
01:33:49,230 --> 01:33:56,390
time that traffic is going for the schools so I'm seeing people riding their

1144
01:33:56,390 --> 01:34:01,510
bikes coming down Avenue to Mayor Flores in the morning there's one guy who comes

1145
01:34:01,510 --> 01:34:07,310
every single morning and he turns left to go on Tiberon Boulevard, not even on the four-way

1146
01:34:07,310 --> 01:34:15,390
part but he's going to go and get on that skinny narrow uphill section and go right into Tiberon

1147
01:34:15,390 --> 01:34:20,970
because as soon as you get up over that section it turns into a bigger shoulder. There's people

1148
01:34:20,970 --> 01:34:26,330
who come from the city that will continue on these bike lanes and they don't know where to go,

1149
01:34:26,330 --> 01:34:33,270
they're just going to keep going on Tiboron Boulevard and there needs to be at least

1150
01:34:34,030 --> 01:34:42,090
you know something for people who lose their way and just keep cutting back the you know

1151
01:34:42,090 --> 01:34:47,150
the foliage that comes down is just falling into the road so whatever right away that they can

1152
01:34:47,150 --> 01:34:55,710
can really separate and get clear. Thank you. I know I've passed my time but thank you. Thank you so

1153
01:34:55,710 --> 01:35:02,590
much. Okay, I know definitely need the bike lines. This is a godsend, including. Thank you.

1154
01:35:02,670 --> 01:35:11,250
Thank you. Okay. Funding. Thank you. Albert, Richinko, Darren, Wien, and we have Sandy,

1155
01:35:11,670 --> 01:35:15,310
Donald, Delaney, Lynch, and Ray Lynch.

1156
01:35:17,960 --> 01:35:20,980
Okay, I'm not seeing those people come up, so I'm going to ask

1157
01:35:20,980 --> 01:35:27,660
us to go. Okay, great, great. I know we. Yeah,

1158
01:35:29,840 --> 01:35:34,400
it's perfect. I'm Darren Ween. I'm a 20 year resident

1159
01:35:34,400 --> 01:35:40,220
here in Timberon. I now live and have for the last six years the top of Sicilya in the

1160
01:35:40,220 --> 01:35:48,980
Timberon Highlands. And I want to talk about something else. So everybody, I know I'd like

1161
01:35:48,980 --> 01:35:57,320
to talk about the dedicated left-and-turn lane from Cecilia way, Upper Cecilia way, on to Eastbound

1162
01:35:57,320 --> 01:36:04,060
Tibber on Boulevard. That has been an issue that has been addressed in surveys, Cal Transast

1163
01:36:04,060 --> 01:36:11,200
about it, and I'm bummicks that it's not in the plan. It is among the greatest safety issues

1164
01:36:11,200 --> 01:36:19,860
in town because Sicilyway, Upper Sicilyway, has 40 plus houses and hundreds of apartment

1165
01:36:19,860 --> 01:36:27,380
complexes, which yields a massive number of residents who have no other outlet to east

1166
01:36:27,380 --> 01:36:31,780
or westbound Tiburon Boulevard other than getting onto Tiburon Boulevard.

1167
01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:33,020
There are no access roads.

1168
01:36:33,980 --> 01:36:39,680
So without a dedicated left-hand turnling in the same way that the redorange road has a dedicated

1169
01:36:39,680 --> 01:36:45,380
left hand turn lane for the exact same reason, it's just a giant culpacac. You have to take

1170
01:36:45,380 --> 01:36:50,900
a chance. Now let's roll the dice and see what happens. You often get accents there.

1171
01:36:51,400 --> 01:37:01,620
Now let's take a class for bike lane in there and see what happens. I wonder if we're increasing

1172
01:37:01,620 --> 01:37:10,200
the likelihood of a problem. So my first request beyond, let's reduce the number of chances

1173
01:37:10,200 --> 01:37:18,780
that we have of bite problems is please a dedicated left hand turn lane into the plan. There's

1174
01:37:18,780 --> 01:37:23,120
only a small amount of foliage that you have to remove from the center being to do that.

1175
01:37:24,340 --> 01:37:30,200
And you will now reduce the likelihood of accidents of people who are forced to make that

1176
01:37:30,200 --> 01:37:34,780
left to intern every day and multiply it by hundreds.

1177
01:37:36,080 --> 01:37:40,080
Lastly, I'd like to say the war here for safety, it's wonderful to see this many people

1178
01:37:40,080 --> 01:37:42,020
here who take a vested interest in it.

1179
01:37:42,660 --> 01:37:45,600
I don't think we need to kill an ant with a hammer.

1180
01:37:46,460 --> 01:37:53,400
Sometimes we just need to look at the problem and that is, how safe can we make bike traffic

1181
01:37:53,400 --> 01:37:54,680
on Greenwood Ruckov?

1182
01:37:55,340 --> 01:37:58,300
Well, maybe we just need to figure out a way to slow people down.

1183
01:37:58,300 --> 01:38:02,940
There's a God living room to drive a ride your bike fast.

1184
01:38:03,460 --> 01:38:06,580
If we want to ride bikes, let's ride them slowly and safely.

1185
01:38:07,180 --> 01:38:08,180
How can we do that?

1186
01:38:08,660 --> 01:38:13,120
Well, let's brainstorm ideas on how we could possibly do that and save the poor residents

1187
01:38:13,120 --> 01:38:16,700
and green wood cove, you know, the problems of getting out of their driveway.

1188
01:38:17,120 --> 01:38:18,740
Maybe his speed won't make work.

1189
01:38:19,960 --> 01:38:20,500
Thanks, guys.

1190
01:38:20,740 --> 01:38:25,500
That's now Sandy Donald Delaney Lynch and Ray Lynch.

1191
01:38:25,500 --> 01:38:27,760
So, if you guys could please come up.

1192
01:38:29,040 --> 01:38:32,380
Hi, I'm Sandy Donnell and I live in Belvedere.

1193
01:38:33,200 --> 01:38:34,700
I've lived here for quite some time.

1194
01:38:35,860 --> 01:38:37,140
So, I have two issues.

1195
01:38:37,360 --> 01:38:41,380
One is I can't believe phase one would put in bike lanes

1196
01:38:41,380 --> 01:38:43,260
and not consider safety.

1197
01:38:43,660 --> 01:38:48,140
That why safety would not be the number one issue in phase one.

1198
01:38:49,100 --> 01:38:51,960
So, that is, I just think that's absurd.

1199
01:38:51,960 --> 01:38:57,040
and I am very sympathetic for the people in Greenwood Beach Road. I wrote a letter concerning that.

1200
01:38:57,620 --> 01:39:00,820
I think there should be more attention. I agree with the gentleman before me.

1201
01:39:01,060 --> 01:39:06,160
How do you make Greenwood Beach Road safe for those people? The driveways were on one side of the road.

1202
01:39:06,660 --> 01:39:11,060
There's the church on the other side of the road, which is going to be a fire station for a while.

1203
01:39:12,340 --> 01:39:19,620
Make a dedicated bike lane with walls so that bike lane does not interfere with the people who live on that street.

1204
01:39:19,620 --> 01:39:24,760
that would be my solution to that problem. Thank you. Thank you so much. I have Delaney Lynch.

1205
01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:26,840
Is Delaney here?

1206
01:39:29,880 --> 01:39:37,700
Thank you. Hi, Delaney Lynch. I live out on Paradise Drive. I've heard

1207
01:39:38,540 --> 01:39:43,420
talk of various controversial aspects of this plan, but I haven't heard mentioned once yet

1208
01:39:43,420 --> 01:39:47,800
tonight of what this is going to do to Paradise Drive, which is already a bad situation.

1209
01:39:47,800 --> 01:39:54,560
It perhaps makes to run Boulevard safer, but it is guaranteed to make paradise drive more dangerous for everybody.

1210
01:39:55,220 --> 01:40:01,680
I'm not opposed to kids biking to school and families biking out to Paradise Park, but I am opposed to the groups of cyclists

1211
01:40:01,680 --> 01:40:04,340
that the Greenwood Beach residents are concerned about.

1212
01:40:04,920 --> 01:40:14,380
Now just having greater access to come in large numbers and continue their already horrific behavior when safety is not included in phase one of this plan.

1213
01:40:14,920 --> 01:40:18,340
We do no enforcement of bike laws that I've ever witnessed.

1214
01:40:18,820 --> 01:40:23,540
I run on Paradise Drive, I run through town, I have never seen cyclists pulled over here.

1215
01:40:23,620 --> 01:40:27,340
I saw it happen in Sawaselito last weekend, it has not happened here.

1216
01:40:30,140 --> 01:40:34,120
I have a significant concern about the lack of a thought or plan to approach us holistically,

1217
01:40:34,120 --> 01:40:38,900
which means including Paradise Drive, which itself is half of the Tiburón Peninsula.

1218
01:40:40,960 --> 01:40:46,100
With the amount of money and resources going to this, we should not be proceeding without

1219
01:40:46,100 --> 01:40:49,120
factoring Paradise Drive into the plan.

1220
01:40:49,560 --> 01:40:54,200
This is going to exponentially exacerbate a problem before we even stopped to create

1221
01:40:54,200 --> 01:40:57,220
a solution that includes the open answer.

1222
01:40:57,660 --> 01:40:58,340
Thank you so much.

1223
01:40:58,540 --> 01:41:00,020
We are now moving to online comments.

1224
01:41:00,660 --> 01:41:02,260
Lee, could you please have our first call or go?

1225
01:41:02,720 --> 01:41:04,820
First, I want to recognize Nathan Spindle.

1226
01:41:05,520 --> 01:41:06,300
Oh, is there one more?

1227
01:41:06,580 --> 01:41:06,780
Okay.

1228
01:41:07,120 --> 01:41:07,280
Please.

1229
01:41:07,820 --> 01:41:09,320
come up. Yeah.

1230
01:41:23,580 --> 01:41:27,720
I'm Mel Ronik. We've lived in Tiburon. Well, first of all, I like to thank Cal

1231
01:41:27,720 --> 01:41:35,080
Trans for coming tonight and hearing both sides of this dilemma that we seem to be facing.

1232
01:41:35,920 --> 01:41:44,320
Anyway, my wife and I have lived in Tiburon for over 55 years and for the last 40 years,

1233
01:41:44,320 --> 01:41:50,620
we've we've biked thousands of miles in the county and the western states in

1234
01:41:50,620 --> 01:41:57,420
Europe and even Mozambique. So we're pretty into biking and on 86 and we're

1235
01:41:57,420 --> 01:42:03,980
still biking. We still do tim and everything. We've never felt unsafe, excuse me.

1236
01:42:04,520 --> 01:42:10,000
We've never felt unsafe riding on Greenwood Beach Road and hearing the comments

1237
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:27,780
from the owners, I think they have some really valid comments and I think the people have said it put in bike lanes, maybe put a stop sign at the bottom of that last hill, put a sign that says stop sign ahead so that bikers know there's a danger ahead.

1238
01:42:28,340 --> 01:42:32,260
I mean, they have some valid points that could be easily addressed.

1239
01:42:33,280 --> 01:42:41,200
So, over 3,300 Tiborant Peninsula residents have signed a letter objecting to the Cal

1240
01:42:41,200 --> 01:42:47,160
Trans proposed bike lands, whereas only 20 of the Greenwood Beach people have endorsed

1241
01:42:47,160 --> 01:42:51,200
the plan, yet they seem to be in control from what I'm hearing.

1242
01:42:51,700 --> 01:42:57,640
There's nothing dangerous about riding a bike on Greenwood Beach Road, but we have a safe

1243
01:42:57,640 --> 01:43:03,640
food for our bikes. And if I had a choice of riding a tibar on boulevard or riding on green

1244
01:43:03,640 --> 01:43:10,020
would be trod, I would definitely ride on green would be trod anytime, anywhere. And

1245
01:43:10,020 --> 01:43:14,680
when I think of my daughter who went through the Reed School District, I would never have

1246
01:43:14,680 --> 01:43:20,660
allowed her to ride on tibar on boulevard. There are cars going 40, 50 miles an hour. It's

1247
01:43:20,660 --> 01:43:26,560
unprotected. If you have, even if you have those poles, we know when people have been telling

1248
01:43:26,560 --> 01:43:28,240
I guess about getting rear-ended.

1249
01:43:28,420 --> 01:43:32,440
My wife just got side-swiped at the Trustle Glen

1250
01:43:32,440 --> 01:43:34,340
by some woman who was in a hurry.

1251
01:43:35,140 --> 01:43:36,520
We have problems here.

1252
01:43:36,880 --> 01:43:37,540
We really do.

1253
01:43:38,280 --> 01:43:40,060
But there are ways around it.

1254
01:43:41,500 --> 01:43:43,800
Too many cars, people drivers are texting,

1255
01:43:44,220 --> 01:43:45,580
and they're on their cell phones.

1256
01:43:45,820 --> 01:43:46,500
Thank you so much.

1257
01:43:46,620 --> 01:43:48,200
And the kids, with the kids, we said, well,

1258
01:43:49,460 --> 01:43:52,280
the kids will be allowed to ride in Greenwood Beach Road.

1259
01:43:52,280 --> 01:43:58,280
But some kids are going to ride on the Tigran Boulevard, and once some kids do it, the other

1260
01:43:58,280 --> 01:44:01,440
things, kids are going to think, oh, that's cool, that's what I'm going to do.

1261
01:44:01,920 --> 01:44:05,240
So it's not an automatic thing and to stay on the green would be true.

1262
01:44:05,580 --> 01:44:06,620
Thank you so much.

1263
01:44:06,720 --> 01:44:08,100
If you could finish, that would be great.

1264
01:44:09,680 --> 01:44:10,480
Thank you.

1265
01:44:10,500 --> 01:44:10,640
Yeah.

1266
01:44:10,780 --> 01:44:14,600
I'll finish at that point.

1267
01:44:14,820 --> 01:44:14,960
Okay.

1268
01:44:15,140 --> 01:44:15,700
Thank you so much.

1269
01:44:15,720 --> 01:44:21,460
We have one more person who was on the list, if you could just come up and state your name,

1270
01:44:21,460 --> 01:44:24,100
and then we're going to go to online folks online.

1271
01:44:24,560 --> 01:44:24,980
Good evening.

1272
01:44:25,140 --> 01:44:28,680
My name is Ray Lynch and the one thing I can say,

1273
01:44:28,720 --> 01:44:30,140
for certain cases, I think I've lived here

1274
01:44:30,140 --> 01:44:32,240
in Tibberon longer than anybody else in this room.

1275
01:44:33,140 --> 01:44:35,960
I was born here and I remember Green would be each

1276
01:44:35,960 --> 01:44:38,460
when it was a only road into town.

1277
01:44:38,460 --> 01:44:41,820
But I think they have a legitimate problem there.

1278
01:44:42,880 --> 01:44:45,460
I know most of my friends here tonight

1279
01:44:45,460 --> 01:44:48,660
and I know how fearful it is to come out of your driveway

1280
01:44:48,660 --> 01:44:54,020
way or whatever and have a bicycle doing 2030 and I saw a lot of the bicycle saying

1281
01:44:54,020 --> 01:44:59,180
all that doesn't happen but it does. As my daughter attested to you out on

1282
01:44:59,180 --> 01:44:59,960
and a pearly straw.

1283
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:29,260
It's equally as bad, but I think the real issue is, she alluded to a little bit as we don't have enough enforcement. I heard the gentleman just before me talk about stop signs and whatnot. And I think everybody in this room sees every bicyclist in town blowing through a stop sign and it's never a stop. And I think that it all goes back to maybe a little bit of that stuff we had at Delmar or Belair School back in the day where you get your report card.

1284
01:45:29,260 --> 01:45:35,700
and it said on the back of it there was a check and it said plays well with others and that's

1285
01:45:35,700 --> 01:45:43,040
missing today. And I think there's your problem. The second part of it is I think CalTrans has totally

1286
01:45:43,040 --> 01:45:49,100
jumped the gun on this. I think that their ultimate next solution will be their known notorious

1287
01:45:49,100 --> 01:45:54,360
for care rails and zipper rails and that's the only solution that they have when you put that

1288
01:45:54,360 --> 01:45:58,860
bike lane on Tiboron Boulevard, which is probably the better place than Greenwood Beach.

1289
01:45:59,500 --> 01:46:05,000
The last thing I'll say is I spent 45 years in the fire department here and I picked

1290
01:46:05,000 --> 01:46:06,920
up an awful lot of bicyclists.

1291
01:46:07,580 --> 01:46:12,200
The only dead one we ever picked up was a 10-year-old boy out at Blackies' pasture.

1292
01:46:12,980 --> 01:46:17,760
Coming down into town, he wanted to cross the road, get into the small side of Belveron,

1293
01:46:18,040 --> 01:46:23,860
4.30 in the afternoon, car coming out of town, clear in the sun, and killed the boy instantly.

1294
01:46:23,860 --> 01:46:39,860
And I think you're pushing that into a second occurrence with the way this plan is conceived right now because people are not going to they're going to come down that and want to go across and right now there's no crosswalk, but that's going to be a big problem.

1295
01:46:40,080 --> 01:46:42,520
This plan needs a lot of work.

1296
01:46:42,520 --> 01:46:49,120
Okay, so now we're moving on to the online colors.

1297
01:46:49,900 --> 01:46:53,460
If you could please go to them, we will first recognize Nathan Spindle.

1298
01:46:57,460 --> 01:46:57,880
Hello.

1299
01:46:58,640 --> 01:47:03,680
My family has lived in the Belveron neighborhood for 40 years, a few houses out from Tiberon

1300
01:47:03,680 --> 01:47:04,140
Boulevard.

1301
01:47:04,860 --> 01:47:09,040
Our family now spans three generations from age five to age 78.

1302
01:47:09,920 --> 01:47:13,300
Around Tiberon, we drive, walk, and five of us frequently bike.

1303
01:47:14,020 --> 01:47:18,700
We strongly support the proposed protected bike lanes for the entire length of Tiberon Boulevard.

1304
01:47:19,060 --> 01:47:24,540
This project improves access and safety for everyone, drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists of all ages.

1305
01:47:25,500 --> 01:47:30,280
Despite today's data concerns, I'm confident that school bus stops and protected bike lanes can safely

1306
01:47:30,280 --> 01:47:35,480
co-exist. Once they're built, the bus operators will understand how to safely navigate them.

1307
01:47:36,880 --> 01:47:40,740
Vehicle fatalities are the number one leading cause of death for ages 1 to 54.

1308
01:47:40,740 --> 01:47:45,960
4. Protected bike lanes are proven to calm traffic, reduce vehicle speeds, and reduce fatalities

1309
01:47:45,960 --> 01:47:50,360
and serious injuries. If you seriously care about making our streets safer for children

1310
01:47:50,360 --> 01:47:54,400
and students, the clear solution is to build these protected bike lanes. Thank you.

1311
01:47:56,120 --> 01:47:59,700
Thank you. The next caller, please. Next is Deli Woodring.

1312
01:48:05,330 --> 01:48:11,210
Hello. Thank you for this opportunity and for this meeting. My name is Deli Woodring.

1313
01:48:11,210 --> 01:48:19,990
I live in Belvedere. In addition to concern about the safety of bikers, I'm concerned about

1314
01:48:19,990 --> 01:48:27,730
the well-being of the many drivers on Tibberon Boulevard, especially with the proposed narrowing

1315
01:48:27,730 --> 01:48:36,230
of the traffic lanes. One little nick of one of these fast riders in these big groups that people

1316
01:48:36,230 --> 01:48:44,610
are talking about, who strays out of the bike line lane could change a driver's life forever.

1317
01:48:45,430 --> 01:48:53,750
I'm in favor of all safety measures being done at once and I hope that you can do it right

1318
01:48:53,750 --> 01:49:02,680
the first time after much more conversation. Thank you. Okay, is there anyone else online?

1319
01:49:02,680 --> 01:49:05,820
next is Lydia Graham. Okay, thank you.

1320
01:49:11,030 --> 01:49:16,590
I'm a resident of Greenwood Beach Road and I just want

1321
01:49:16,590 --> 01:49:22,750
to say that I totally support the project of building bike lanes on Tiboran Boulevard. I actually

1322
01:49:22,750 --> 01:49:29,290
am terrified to pull out of my driveway every day, but I wanted to also say that someone mentioned

1323
01:49:29,290 --> 01:49:36,430
their 37 pullouts in and out on Greenwood Beach Road, but we also have the cove apartments which actually

1324
01:49:36,430 --> 01:49:43,390
has 300 residents, according to the internet, and I wanted to point out for those that

1325
01:49:43,390 --> 01:49:48,470
have mentioned the possibility of putting a bike lane on Greenwood Beach Road, that that's

1326
01:49:48,470 --> 01:49:55,110
not really a viable solution because the road is already so narrow and cars park on either

1327
01:49:55,110 --> 01:49:59,750
side of the road, but even if they didn't, there's really no room for a bike lane.

1328
01:50:05,850 --> 01:50:06,410
Although

1329
01:50:06,410 --> 01:50:10,270
Is there anyone else online me seeing them?

1330
01:50:10,810 --> 01:50:16,610
OK, so I want to close by thanking everybody for coming.

1331
01:50:17,950 --> 01:50:22,290
And I want to let you know this is the first opportunity

1332
01:50:22,290 --> 01:50:24,930
there are going to be others and other opportunities

1333
01:50:24,930 --> 01:50:25,850
for public input.

1334
01:50:26,610 --> 01:50:28,850
If you have not signed into the sheet,

1335
01:50:29,050 --> 01:50:30,250
there are sheets in the back.

1336
01:50:30,570 --> 01:50:34,490
That is how CalTrans will keep you updated on the project.

1337
01:50:34,490 --> 01:50:37,870
I want to see if our supervisor has any closing comments.

1338
01:50:38,770 --> 01:50:43,810
So I just again want to stress that tonight is the beginning, it's a new beginning, and

1339
01:50:43,810 --> 01:50:47,650
your voices are being heard, your input is being considered.

1340
01:50:48,190 --> 01:50:54,470
Please keep it coming, don't be shy, and together we're going to build the best project ever.

1341
01:50:55,050 --> 01:50:57,310
I think we have one, did you want to say something?

1342
01:50:59,290 --> 01:51:01,090
Yes, you may, please go ahead.

1343
01:51:01,090 --> 01:51:15,670
Well, first of all, thank you so much mayor and supervisor and the council for allowing us the opportunity to come here and listen to you to engage with you and to present, you know, what our project really we hear you.

1344
01:51:16,010 --> 01:51:23,390
We're committed to really talk about the needs and really tackle the challenge together.

1345
01:51:23,730 --> 01:51:28,750
I mean, our challenge here is, you know, we have the payment condition that are breaking apart.

1346
01:51:28,750 --> 01:51:48,590
as you can see now, we have obviously bike connectivity, bus, pedestrian and so how do we collectively really balance the needs as well as prioritize and maximize the resources that we have, the money that we have and the time that we have

1347
01:51:48,590 --> 01:51:51,370
So get something done as soon as possible.

1348
01:51:51,670 --> 01:52:08,890
So really appreciate that we will continue to work with the town staff on the project, whether to incorporate as much of the feature as early as possible as well as opportunities on adding or incorporating the broadband feature as well.

1349
01:52:08,890 --> 01:52:14,790
But this is the mayor expressed just the first part.

1350
01:52:15,110 --> 01:52:22,770
We are committed to be here to address the remainder because the needs obviously are here.

1351
01:52:23,490 --> 01:52:27,630
And we're here. So please continue to engage with us.

1352
01:52:27,950 --> 01:52:32,070
We're here if anything, you know, contact us and we'll be happy to come back and present.

1353
01:52:32,570 --> 01:52:36,690
But our goal is really to maximize and balance and get something done as soon as possible.

1354
01:52:37,210 --> 01:52:40,710
Thank you so much. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you so much, everyone.

1355
01:52:42,550 --> 01:52:44,090
Thank you. Thank you. I'm going to.

1356
01:52:44,170 --> 01:52:45,550
Members, make a comment too.

1357
01:52:46,130 --> 01:52:47,010
That's just 30 seconds.

1358
01:52:47,150 --> 01:52:48,070
Yes, sure. Go ahead.

1359
01:52:48,150 --> 01:52:49,870
So we might just question for a counter.

1360
01:52:50,030 --> 01:53:00,050
And it's like, what is some gentlemen proposed that there might be working groups that might work together on creating a solution that would be good for everybody?

1361
01:53:00,270 --> 01:53:06,670
And one thing that's been frustrating is like, you come here and you listen to people, but you have not engaged with the elected officials of Tiboron at all.

1362
01:53:06,670 --> 01:53:08,230
and we represent all the people.

1363
01:53:08,770 --> 01:53:11,590
So in terms of like channeling ideas and, you know,

1364
01:53:12,330 --> 01:53:14,750
marshalling ideas to then work with you,

1365
01:53:14,930 --> 01:53:16,750
I would think that would be a good avenue,

1366
01:53:17,670 --> 01:53:21,910
but you've really kind of not engaged with the Tibron council at all.

1367
01:53:22,470 --> 01:53:26,770
And so I'm curious, are you open to sort of getting a working group

1368
01:53:26,770 --> 01:53:29,570
of various elected officials who are,

1369
01:53:29,650 --> 01:53:31,410
who their respective council's a point

1370
01:53:31,410 --> 01:53:33,670
and then sort of working on a solution

1371
01:53:33,670 --> 01:53:39,130
that they believe their constituents really want because the other day, that's the one thing

1372
01:53:39,130 --> 01:53:44,610
that's missing from this whole process, is I'm elected to know the opinions of my constituents

1373
01:53:44,610 --> 01:53:48,790
and I've never been asked what they are. So you've got this sample and I appreciate them coming

1374
01:53:48,790 --> 01:53:53,910
and giving you their opinion, but there are 9,500 other people on this peninsula who are not here tonight

1375
01:53:53,910 --> 01:53:59,430
whose opinions are just as valuable. And we are the people who should be delivering those opinions

1376
01:53:59,430 --> 01:54:06,230
to you. Do you have the, are you willing to engage at that level with the elected officials

1377
01:54:06,230 --> 01:54:11,750
to make something better happen? We will be glad to work with you on put together a task force

1378
01:54:11,750 --> 01:54:17,270
that is representative of the different neighborhoods of different communities in in to brawn or

1379
01:54:17,270 --> 01:54:24,450
Jason. You know, consisting of residents of various groups and elect officials. We have some models

1380
01:54:24,450 --> 01:54:28,270
so we, you know, another communities will be happy to discuss with you, especially

1381
01:54:28,270 --> 01:54:33,130
important as we're looking at phase two. We need to have to be on the same page on what that's

1382
01:54:33,130 --> 01:54:38,450
going to be before we go and try to secure or pursue that funding. And we're committed to do that,

1383
01:54:38,470 --> 01:54:42,470
but we absolutely will be essential and we'll be glad to work with you.

1384
01:54:42,790 --> 01:54:48,630
Okay, thank you. Thank you so much. I think that we have one more comment from council member Nick

1385
01:54:49,130 --> 01:54:53,890
Farh, who I also want to thank for helping us put this together tonight. I did not say that in the

1386
01:54:53,890 --> 01:55:00,010
beginning and I apologize. Thank you very much and thank you to the folks from CalTrans and members

1387
01:55:00,010 --> 01:55:06,210
of our community and surrounding communities for coming in. The sort of piece that we didn't

1388
01:55:06,210 --> 01:55:12,270
talk a lot about tonight is that Tim Rumble over also has really crippling traffic coming from

1389
01:55:12,270 --> 01:55:18,450
downtown 2101 and so I think one of the pieces that's that gets a little bit lost in the sauce here

1390
01:55:19,370 --> 01:55:24,190
When we're talking about bike safety and bike lanes and other things like that,

1391
01:55:24,290 --> 01:55:32,510
reducing the size of lanes and bringing down the speed limit is that those will not have at least maybe I'm incorrect.

1392
01:55:32,970 --> 01:55:40,990
But shrinking lanes, adding bikes, decreasing speed limits aren't going to have a positive impact on traffic.

1393
01:55:42,090 --> 01:55:46,690
And when it already takes 40 to 50 minutes to go, you know, less than four miles.

1394
01:55:48,450 --> 01:55:52,150
This is something that needs to be a part of that process, and it may be it goes into

1395
01:55:52,150 --> 01:55:52,730
phase two.

1396
01:55:53,230 --> 01:55:58,310
I think I agree with the majority of consensus here, which is, you know, we definitely

1397
01:55:58,310 --> 01:56:03,170
need to pave, you know, Tim Rambullovard, but we're conducting a traffic study, which

1398
01:56:03,170 --> 01:56:09,350
is nearing completion, and I think that needs to be taken into account heavily in phase

1399
01:56:09,350 --> 01:56:09,650
two.

1400
01:56:09,850 --> 01:56:15,310
And as we're thinking about, you know, I think it's great that people cycle for recreation

1401
01:56:15,310 --> 01:56:27,710
and get their heart rates up and get good exercise, but we can't sacrifice people that want to leave downtown and get to one-on-one, or recreation, unfortunately.

1402
01:56:28,450 --> 01:56:32,270
So, I think that needs to be taken into account in all of this.

1403
01:56:33,170 --> 01:56:33,850
Thank you.

1404
01:56:35,930 --> 01:56:38,530
Yes, please go ahead, Council Member Fredericks.

1405
01:56:50,150 --> 01:56:56,250
I just wanted to acknowledge the Traffic Safety Committee's role in working with CalTrans and

1406
01:56:56,250 --> 01:57:05,530
hoping that we, even if we phase it, we will be able to produce the final project that's

1407
01:57:05,530 --> 01:57:10,950
consistent with the upcoming traffic safety recommendations.

1408
01:57:12,150 --> 01:57:18,170
You know, just in general, I'm hearing that people's concerns are bike and bus conflicts,

1409
01:57:18,170 --> 01:57:23,210
even with the bulb outs, the loss of yellow buses because the stops don't meet

1410
01:57:23,210 --> 01:57:29,190
their safety criteria. And then what I just mentioned, the opportunity

1411
01:57:29,190 --> 01:57:34,430
to be consistent for this project at the end to be consistent with the town

1412
01:57:34,430 --> 01:57:39,710
ongoing traffic safety recommendations. I think we all look forward to working

1413
01:57:39,710 --> 01:57:42,390
with you and are very grateful for the opportunity.

1414
01:57:45,270 --> 01:57:48,830
Thank you so much. And again, I want to thank everyone.

1415
01:57:48,830 --> 01:57:59,930
and I want to thank CalTrans, I want to thank Safe Rouse to schools, I want to thank all of the stakeholders and most importantly all of our residents who came out to speak tonight.

1416
01:58:00,650 --> 01:58:09,830
We do have a town council meeting right now, so I'm going to ask you to say goodbye and hopefully we will see you very soon.

1417
01:58:10,050 --> 01:58:13,610
And again, thank you for coming. This is really important and great feedback.

1418
01:58:13,610 --> 01:58:14,850
I couldn't shoot you to the end.

1419
01:58:18,130 --> 01:58:20,490
Bob Whitney asked, oh look, I'm a former failure.
