Supplemental Memo regarding Recommendation to Receive an Update on Neighborhood Greenways Implementation and Provide Direction on Removing Select Slow Streets Barricades in the Immediate Future (Item 7C)
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
This memo is being provided to supplement the staff report already published for the September 17, 2024 City Council meeting.
The attached map (Exhibit 1) shows which Slow Street barricades would remain and which would be removed in the immediate future , following the staff recommendation outlined in this staff report, for select, near-term removal of Slow Streets barricades. The recommendation is:
• For Pacific Ave, San Jose Ave/Morton St, and Versailles Ave: Maintain in place those barricades at the beginning and end of each Slow Street and at the major street crossings until the Neighborhood Greenways are implemented in 2024 and 2025, and immediately remove those barricades at the lower-volume cross-streets. This action would result in the removal of about half of the barricades along these streets.
• For Santa Clara Ave: Leave all nine of the barricades in place until the Central Ave separated bike lanes are completed, by 2026.
Respectfully submitted,
Allen Tai, Director of Planning, Building and Transportation
