progression levels so all the kids have a space to progress.

BMX and Street Skate area to be shared is needed and not supported at all in Berkeley.

Flow trails and jumps with various features for fun.

Decent sized jumps
Well maintained
Jumps for every level
Create a loop with various features long enough and wide that multiple skill levels can be on the course at a time and create a viewing stand so people can watch as much of the course as possible Accessibility for multiple ages and skill levels
Ability for riders to have fun, learn, and progress.
1) Varying degrees of skill level, from tiny to a few really massive features, 2) Opportunity for kids to contribute to building features. (think Adventure Playground), 3) Make it flexible and evolving.

Jumps and drops with progression from beginner to advanced, separate areas for each level, more than just a pump track.

1. full range of skill levels and progressions (please consult with riders/builders on the "advanced" areas, progressive drops, skinnies, etc.), 2. sufficient quality for holding events and races (cyclocross, BMX, pump track, maybe even short track XC), 3. water source for building dirt features and for drinking, 4. parking area within view of riding area to reduce car break-ins Separate areas for different skill levels, a wide spectrum of features that can cater to all abilities from toddler beginners to professional dirt jumpers, food truck accommodations.

Kid space, pump track, feature park
built features
a separate area for young kids would help keep everyone safe separate areas for separate skill levels, safe access to biking lanes beyond the park for kids to be able to take advantage of the park, built features, seating / shade for parents accompanying smaller children, clean well-maintained safe bathrooms
Rock garden; pump track area; board ramps
flow park w/ sufficient technical for high school riders, area for youngest riders but still banked, area for gathering post-ride and enjoying park/bay
separation from hikers, features, trees
More than beginner level features, features and areas for all levels of riders. Easily accessible infrastructure and A safe clean environment. Progressing jump lines from green to double black, wooden features, skinnies. Drops, pumptrack. Bike only areas, free of smaller children.

The most important thing is to provide progressive options for different still levels, allowing riders to move up and try more challenging features on the fly. (if you are feeling good, then take the bigger hit, if not, then stay mellow)
Separate skill levels, pump track
Flow, berms and thing to practice turns
separate skills areas, jumps, tabletops
Built features like tabletop jumps, areas for skill progression, features that are hard to find in the east bay
Flow is very important, bikers should not be able to cross paths or ride toward each other on the same feature. Clear signs for direction of travel.

A park for only bikes is needed in Berkeley area, so this is great idea! flow

Fun jumps at a variety of skill levels, from beginner to daredevil. Start with simple drops, then tabletops, then ski-jump style launches. Obstacle courses for kids to practice getting their bikes over logs, along rails, etc. Flow trail with switchbacks is also great practice, if space allows. First aid station will be critical!
Flow. I don't think it's necessary to have a pump track (there is one in Richmond). Also, potentially a rock garden as well would be good for building skills.
separate areas for separate skill levels, flow would be fun. built features too. flow, jump/drop progression, built features
Wow, I think this would be such a great addition to Berkeley. Having a few different area/levels would be great smaller easier flow with very small or no jumps, an advanced track with beamed corners, bigger jumps. Great to have an area for practicing skinnies, logs, drops or a single jump (small/med/large). Having an arrow to keep everyone going the same direction Separate areas for skill, welcoming to all levels
Slower zones for younger and less experienced riders Parts with not mandatory gaps Dirt Design
1) progression from beginners to higher levels, 2) pump track, 3) paved to make maintenance manageable
At least two pump tracks, one for beginners and one for advanced riders. Progressive jump areas, with separate lines for beginner to advanced.

Flow, separate skill level courses,
pump track, jump lines of varying difficulties with good progression, built features separate areas for separate skill levels. Jumps. Skills sections Pump track in the middle, with cross country tracks on the perimeter with elevation and features Flow park, skills park, gnar

Pump track, built features, flow trail
Jump line, separate skills features
Separate areas for separate skill levels, marked same way as ski runs at ski resorts; Pump tracks with multiple lines;
Clear directional route markings on beginner lines;
Pave where beneficial (i.e., pump tracks by Velosolutions); Clearly designated space (if any) for skateboards on any paved pump tracks flow trail, features
Varied pumptrack for different disciplines of biking, ample terrain that progresses in difficulty, variety of features (rock garden, skinnies, groomed jumps/tables, etc. ) Flow, features, separate areas for different skill levels, a short track course where high school teams can practice.

Flow trails, BMX course, and beginner area for little kids to ride Cyclocross course
Flow, separate skill levels, safe parking
Different jump lines for different skill levels, flow, mix of features

1. many options for different activities, 2. flow, 3. skill based jumplines Separate areas for separate skill levels.

Flow, big jumps, drops

A variety of built features that would challenge and help you to train different techniques. It's important that there is a progressive level of technique and skill built into the park so users can progress through time. I think it's important that there is a clear progression through the park.

Whether there is maps or some other directions so people aren't just lost.

Flow, separate skill levels jumps and tabletops
built features, different skill areas, space for parents/non-riders Good for multiple skill levels. Longer trails and features, not just jumps and air. Safe and well maintained with places for people to hang out. Look to successful parks like Truckee bike park. No reason we cant do just as well here.

A mix of flow/pump track with some technical challenges Flow and Progressive features that allows for skill projection (ie different levels of jumps that beginners can start at the easiest and move up),
flow, mountain bike features, kid features.

Areas of different and gradual increasing difficulty; skills features; support for youth programs and development.

Progressive jump lines (beginner, med, large, etc)
Flow; elevation; trees/wind protection
kid friendly, mtb skills course, mega jumps/ features
skill levels, obstacles, flow
Flow trails, park for all ages, fun features!
separate areas for separate skill levels, pump track, jumps Areas for intermediate level riders, I'm not a jumper and probably won't become one.

Flow, progressive features
Skills area. Skinnies. Progressive jump area.
separate skill areas is paramount. benches for parents to hang out while their kids ride. enough space so that folks aren't right on top of each other.

A fun cross-country course with flowing singletrack would be great for a beginner crowd or folks who don't want to climb so much. a skills area to practice logs, teeters, jumps would be great also natural and built features that allow skills progression. Would prefer these to flow track style features.

My suggestion is to look at other municipal bike parks that are viewed with admiration as models to emulate. The one that comes to mind is in Truckee.

Separate areas for skill levels, feature progression (ie, small, medium and large drops or jumps), and well-designed pump track
Features for all skill levels, kid/family friendly, built features flow, different lines for different skill levels, and ease of maintenance/repair. Harvey West in Santa Cruz is a great example to follow, in my opinion.
* different sized bikes/humans require different sized features. please build for all sizes. * viewing area with seating. * SAFE and SECURE parking for bikes and vehicles. easy access, open to all levels, clean
separate areas for different skill levels, flow
Pump track with several loops for different skills, bridge/balance features, separate area for slower/new riders
Flow and separate skill levels

Flow trail, MTB jumps,
Features for all skill levels including expert level with design focused on suitability for mountain bikes.

Built wooden and rock features.

Lines that include several features in a row.

Flow tech and jumps
flow, one way trails, good drainage
Safe, accessible, and educational.

Sections for different skills. Regular maintenance, different ride features Progressive features (like a ski area); access to adjacent trails; pump track , jump line, and bike handling skills zones
Pump track; dirt jumps with beginner to expert levels; public bathrooms and water fountains; repair station - especially tire pump.

1. flow trail 2. Jump Line 2. Progressive Drops/Wooden Features Green, blue, black diamond style jump lines and flow trails with varying features for each skill level I would love a flow area, a progressive skills park and skinnies Family friendly, progressive, paved pump track
Parallel jump progression zone (Easy, med, hard lines) like at Stafford Lake. Dual slalom flow trail. Kids skill area (see saws, small jumps, elevated platforms...) Jump progressions
1) Separate areas to build skills in stages
2) Variety of challenges -- Pump vs Jump vs Berm
3) Proximity to Picnic benches for parties
Separate areas for different skill levels. Progression lines. And take into account the prevailing wind direction.

Build features that are NOT common to make the park different, unique and attractive. Build a separate track for different skill levels.

Flow trail, kid friendly features and jumps, pump track Flow trail, drop/jump progression (separately), skinnies practice Skills zone - progressive jumps, drops, skinnies, etc. - incorporated into a trail. Directional singletrack.

Flow trail. Jump line(s).

Built features including wood and stone with technical riding elements like skinnies, drops large wood roller coaster. Asphalt pump track like Velosolutions. Slopestyle jump park with wood ramps like from action sports.
1) several different jump/table top lines: beginner, intermediate, expert, pro. Richmond's dirt world has a good layout. 2) a child/beginner pump track, and a larger pump track, 3) Consideration of wind.

Currently, the jump lines at Richmond send the rider into a head wind. The direction of the jump lines should be carefully considered based on wind from the bay, freeway, etc.

Areas for different skill levels, pump track (fun for kids and adults!) Good flow, take into account prevailing wind direction, and distinct separate areas for beginners, intermediate, and advanced
separate areas for skill levels seems the most politically prudent thing to do/say here (but any fun stuff would be rad!)
separate skill levels, built features
Wind is a big factor. Park design should factor in usual direction of the wind so that riders aren't riding into the wind (which really saps the flow).

flow, jumps and skinnies
Good flow, clear skills / level progression whether through separate areas or coding, fun features Pump track, separate skills area
Gotta have Flow, progression of features from beginner to pro and it would be amazing to have a dual slalom track to hold events and get more people involved.

Progression- jumps for all ability levels from beginner to advanced. Safety- table top jumps for beginners. Variety- a variety of jumps and maybe more natural features Table top jumps, separate skill areas, shade / tables / seating A flow trail, a BMX race tracks, jumps
Flow. Progressive Jumps.

Asphalt surfacing to reduce maintenance, prefabricated features Have both big and small jump lines and pumptrack loop
Dual slalom, jumps, drops.

Flowy jumps, areas for different skills, wooden features I've only been to Dirt World in Richmond so don't have much experience but would love to have a closer place to go to.

1. jumps side to side which get bigger and bigger so great to learn in

2. drops side to side that get bigger and bigger so its easy to learn the basics

3. one or two gap jumps so you can learn to get over big features separate areas for separate skill levels, features/trails that appeal to different types of riding (MTB, bmx, cyclocross)
Flow section, banked turn practice, separate areas for separate skill levels.

Progressive jump/skills lines, well thought out infrastructure for bikers. And most importantly features that emphasize fun.

Flow/pump tracks for various skill levels
Pump track, Jump lines, Different areas for different skills Jumps, jumps and jumps.

Separate areas for different skills levels, sizable jumps, wooden features Separate areas for skills is good,

1. Water tanks around the jumps so people can water the jumps before riding them. This is to preserve the dirt.

2. Wooden Lips because the lip won’t wear down. 3. Tables for the beginner lines but doubles for the harder lines to save dirt

Pump tracks, jumps, and beginner technical features like small rock gardens and logs Separate levels to show progression, flowy track, signs to make it one way.

Different speeds. Safe. Attractive.

Variety, progression, skill training help boards
Diff level areas should be separate. Place where one can watch safely without being on the way. pump track
It would be nice to have a flow track. A technical track with no big jumps. something like a XC short track of a cyclo-cross loop
Flow, lots of line choices, rock gardens
I'm a beginner and my husband an expert it would be nice to have pump tracks and flow trails for different levels so families can go together, ride and then a place for people to picnic. The good thing about the pandemic is that more families are doing more healthy and active outdoor activities together. On and bathrooms & drinking water spigot. if you have to remove and plant new trees how about local fruit trees.
progression, opportunity, ease of maintenance
wide range of features; areas for beginners; seating areas for family/non-riders Features by skill level, progressive jump line, pump track, raised bridges a la north shore, progressive ladder drops, trials park (feel free to ask me what that means) Variety of features, different lines for different skill levels, Pumps & tools Clear signage, technical DH, and Jump lines!
1) Pump track 2) skills development area (jumps in increasing height, drops of increasing size, rock gardens, skinny lines, steep lines) 3) jump line
Kids only section, flow section, tech section
I don't know how to split this into three things. My main inspiration is the Stafford Lake Bike Park. It has separate areas for skill levels but more important, it has separate things for different styles/skills.

I really like the areas they have with raised ramps, small bumps, and the kids' area.

Progressive drops, skinnies, pump track
Range of areas for all skill levels, built features, Flow flow flow.

Definitely separate areas for different abilities since this is a big city. Some way to make it safe - maybe have it staffed. Large enough to not get bored quickly.

Inclusive for all riders, all bikes to have fun.

Flow trail
Bike teeter-totter
1) Well-built safe jumps 2) Good progression of jumps 3) Great maintenance, especially after rain Progressive difficulty
Be sure to include options for very young riders (4+ years) where they are not intimidated by older riders Focus on skills over speed
I think that it will be important to have jumps for beginner level riders as well as jumps that will provide more of a challenge. I also thing that a pump track would be very important as people of all skill levels can use it.
separate areas for separate skills. separate mini-features for sessioning, and a good vibe! Flow, area for spectators. Bridges and berms. rocky downhills.

Feature progressions

1. Pump track, 2. skills area like ledges, mini rock garden etc. 3. Separate area for different skills/ ages, i.e. have an area for 3-7 year old kids.

Separate areas for various skill levels, flow and jump areas, skills/balance areas Flow, separate areas, adequate shade and water fountains Flow, separated skill level areas, large amount of space (there will be a TON of people using it!) Skill progression, built features, regular maintenance. progressive design so all riders can utilize and further develop skills.

Wooden features such as teeter totters, skinnys, wooden lips or drops. For every bigger feature there should be similar smaller features so that riders can warm up or practice features before they hit the big stuff. I also think a bike maintenance stand would be nice.

Varying levels of terrain, rest areas, bike repair area Pump Tracks, Dirt Jumps, Flow Lines, snack shack will be nice.

Drop zones, slopestyle and maybe dual slalom
Flow, skills, and fun

A few skill level flow trail with jumps on them
Separate areas for different skill levels, especially beginners.

Different areas for skill levels, a separate area for young riders, challenge areas to learn skills like riding over logs

Flow for cyclocross or MTB, different areas or sections for skill levels, grass track velodrome Separate skill level areas, features, pump track
Pump track, separate skill areas, and inclusive options for more difficult trails Separate skill areas (like a pump track for 3-7 year old’s) and a lot of similar features that get bigger so you can progress, e.g., 3 different drops, a 2 foot, a 4 foot & a 6 foot. Same idea for jumps and other "basic" features.
separate area for skill levels. security. inclusive
Short track cross country, progressive skills areas, and design for rapid drainage to minimize rain closures.

Separate areas for beginners and experts. Some air time spots but I’d appreciate some bike handling challenge courses.

Flow track, water fountain, shade rest area
Separate areas for skill levels (including an area good for little kids and beginners), some nice jumps and challenging terrain for advanced riders, good signage for park rules, excellent maintenance and zero tolerance for unlawful activities (vandalism, drugs/alcohol, loitering, camping, etc.).

A pump track for young kids and beginners, a flow trail for intermediate riders, and a jump line for more advanced riders.
all these ideas are good!

Don’t have any ideas at this time but I think it will be a great spot for young people! would love to see some progressive features, so that beginners can work up to bigger/more technical jumps
flow, jumps, skills area
Features built for progression.

Enough variety to make it worth a trip for someone in a specific skill level.

Some flow trail or slalom style lines to practice cornering too, not just a bunch of steep dirt jumps Year-round access, enough space for beginners and more advanced riders, programming would be great to help people learn skills with support.

Skill level based areas/ features are a great idea. For example; I often hear people around the bay area asking where they can find drops to practice on. A small-medium-large drop progression area would be very popular.

Dual Slalom is gaining popularity and there are precious few tracks to ride (only one that I know of is at Stafford Lake bike park, the only other one I know of is at the Auburn Bike Park) "Skinnies" are slightly elevated, very narrow paths that challenge riders balance and coordination.

They are usually very low maintenance and can range from easy to very difficult.

Pump track, different levels for all experiences, sustainability I would like a street course for skateboarding
Drops Table tops and gap jumps
Flow, jump lines for mountain bikes and dirt jumpers, dual slalom course. jumps, drops, slope, skills. advance to keep riders coming back. if too easy then people will not return.

I just think it will be a great idea

Good trail labels to show difficulty
Good mix if tech and flow
pump track, year-round riding, and a progressive jump series, separate areas for different skills levels Flow, separate areas for different skill levels
Range of skills, good for families, safety (parking)
All of the above ideas. But particularly important to have terrain for all levels of riders. Any course design that is kid friendly and encourages kids to learn to ride safely. flow, build features, area for beginners
Separate skills training areas graded from beginner to expert; Flow features that allow all skill levels (bypasses for difficult features); Signs showing good use practices and tips for each skill

having a BMX or pump track racecourse, so we can get the community more involved, and host weeknight races for local riders
flow, rated trails ex. double black, and pump track
Pump track, clearly marked zones for different skill levels so there aren’t little kids in the way of black diamond lines, tabletop jumps so decreased risk of serious injury Features for various levels, easy flow to get uphill, tools for riders to make repairs Features for all skill levels
A flow trail and some simple table jumps would be great! They are good for learning on but still fun for more experience folks. I would also suggest that people might want to pay a little to use it because maintenance is very important. Perhaps consider fences as well so homeless and other people don’t harass kids or leave garbage.

Well built jumps
Jumps and things that everyone can ride (look at auburn and Truckee bike parks for reference) And maintenance
separate skill levels, built features
Separate skill levels, flow, trials.

Stuff for all levels. Pump track. Things for kids
Separate areas for different skill levels.

Separate area for younger kids, shade, good variety of features Separate area for kids
1) Progressive features from beginner (rollers) to expert (gaps & drops); 2) kids’ area with physical separation from road & barriers;
(Answering for my 8-year-old son). I want to learn to do bigger drops. I want to learn to do jumps. I want to practice increasingly tricky and steep downhill technical sections. I am already good with pump tracks and flow trails, but they are fun too. I’ve been riding in aquatic Park for 4 years on the little side trails. I like to zoom down and then back up the hills. I’ve often thought there should be a real bike park here for me and other kids.

Ca native plants, pump track, barbeque area / outdoor kitchen. flow, separate areas for separate skill levels, built features.

Beginner areas and features are very important as they bring new/more people to the park but having more advanced features/areas where people can progress their skills is also a must. It would be nice to have shaded areas, tables, and bathroom facilities so the whole family can enjoy the park. Repair and first aid stations would also be helpful.

I like the idea of a flow area and some progressive skill areas with different levels of difficulty Flow trails, separate areas for different skills levels, family/kid friendly area and design 1) Progression (Beginner up to advanced features)
2) Pump Track
3) Dual Slalom
A progressive jump line, A dual slalom / flow trail, and A kid friendly pump track Clearly labelled trails by skill level, variety of features, water stations separate areas for separate skill levels, flow, built features flow, short track area, and progressive skills area

1. "Tabletop" jumps with no gaps 2. progressions from beginner on up 3. some shady spots and places to "hang out" between sessions.
support for all skill levels. step-ups, skinnies, teeter totters, etc.

Do you have any ideas for the Bike Park that will make it represent Berkeley or be unique to bike parks in the Bay Area?
The adaptive cycling area for BORP would be unique and awesome.

The location is amazing and very Berkeley.

Having a bike park at all, would be inclusive in a way that's yet to be seen in our city. Off-road cyclists are vastly underrepresented in the East Bay, considering the growth of the sport.

Make it larger than the other bike parks.

Build with progression in mind so the park can grow and evolve with riders. Good to have separate area for new riders and little kids. Clear signage indicating level of line and ride direction to avoid injury/accidents.

The bike park in Bentonville, Arkansas is a great example of a world class bike park that I would love to see in Berkeley. Lots of paved surfaces and wood ramps to minimize upkeep and maintenance. https://santacruztrails.org/projects/ramsay-park-pumptrack is a great example Naming features after Ohlone names (respectfully of course ) Wooden features would be unique and cool for Berkeley.

A truly family-friendly but still progressive and challenging bike park There's lots of dirt around here and not a lot of constructed features. wood / concrete / dirt mixed terrain features would be amazing.

No. We have so few bike parks that this is already unique. I suppose if you could highlight the bay somehow, or integrate some of the local native plants. Celebrate some local riders or bike pioneers? Pave the pump track. I am not aware of any bike playgrounds in the bay area Community hang out area along with fun progression sections to learn on Code of conduct - inclusive, supportive, help everyone progress and feel welcomed. The cycling community is actually very supportive - but it's always nice to remind people of what we stand for.

Inclusive language for all guests, not just jumping boys. Signage about local trails & paths, signage showing technique over certain obstacles (just like other exercise areas) and skills, resources for local clubs, teams, lessons and volunteer opportunities to give back.

Perhaps an inclusive/accessible bike park for ADA (TBH I don’t even know what that would look like, just think that’s one of city values) decorated with art by local graffiti artists The bike park could dedicate a trail to the BHSMTB team.

Incorporate cross country style trails/ features, as space allows, for high-school and middle school race teams.

Involve the community of local mtb teams, trail builders and young riders, involve indigenous groups to acknowledge the site and name it for an inspiring Berkeleyan.

Great views of the bay; some local trees so it doesn’t look barren like parks in other parts of the state Trails should make a recognizable shape in aerial photos. Maybe a peace sign or something? The surrounding waterfront property also lends to the potential of creating a cross country loop that goes over to Cesar Chavez park, or near the waterfront by the soccer fields.... or cross the bridge to the old golf course grass lands that could be incorporated with mountain bike features as well. Adding these loops to the park would offer not only the skill and recreation development resources, but also offer longer trails/paths to build endurance, stamina and resilience.

Having a local bike park would serve SO many youth riders who would be able to ride there to use it.

Berkeley has a thriving Jr. Mt. Bike team as well as the largest high school team in California. My

students currently ride to other nearby towns to practice skills on their bike parks. Having a bike park here would spread out riders and offer more options for play and practice.

With many student-athlete MTB racers in the area, practice/skills area would be a great help! Also, many adult & youth cyclocross racers are always looking hard for practice areas. bike only!
there are no bike parks!
Having something bike only is already pretty unique to the Bay Area.

Interesting features and a theme
Velosolutions asphalt pump track or similar
If it's maintained professionally and often, it would stand out from those which aren't. Challenging features would also attract more riders.

On site bike tools/pump/station, events held to bring in diversity and make it more welcoming for new riders
community oriented and created, volunteer maintenance
i think volunteer build days are a great idea
and a great way to include the Berkeley high mountain bike team in this project.

Plant trees and keep it alive
Be in Berkeley
An area with make your own obstacles, like Adventure Playground boards, ramps, jumps you can move around and reconfigure, etc.

Jumps that are accessible to different skill levels
Make it big?
Berkeley built
Cool designs or other things like that
having space for creative transfers and other unique lines tends to keep parks from getting stale for me
Include expert lines. There is a huge biking community in Berkeley, and we have a lot great riders.

Tying the bike park to picnic or gathering areas could allow a wider group to be drawn into biking - watching can spur participation.

Some kind of club or group that meets there to work on skills and maybe build A more mountain bike focused bike park rather than BMX
Partnership with East Bay Parks and NorCal Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) for enough land to open an MTB cross-country course as riding and race venue for K-12 teams (such as Berkeley High) and using the parking at the Berkeley Marina and/or Golden Gate Fields to host actual NICA races.

I think something cool could be a park within the park. A skinny is a small board Of wood elevated a couple inches off the ground that twists and turns around. Part of the fun is you have to try multiple times to finally get it. It is like a puzzle, and there are no cool skinny’s in the east bay. Another cool feature could be a concrete pump track. This way multiple types of wheel users (bikes, skateboards, scooters, and rollerblades) can have fun and share the park.

Drinking water would be nice. Different levels of riders. Small kids up to adults Single track loop with jumps
I think it should have a mural or something fun, but Berkeley is already pretty unique and adding a bike park would make it even more so!
It would be nice to have a trail along the outside that has beginner features to help people learn how to mountain bike on trails. Single track, different kinds of turns, small drops, easy to med rock

gardens, a roll over or two, a skinny. Things riders can build confidence on when they are first learning.

Wooden jumps and features of all levels
have some jumps more designed for longer bikes like mountain bikes city support
Having a bike park would be unique
Maybe some wood features with murals or something on theme Allowing night riding with lights
Honestly, just making it fun and good would be pretty unique lol, lots of community input during the whole process
A community bike repair shop on site - can be staffed by volunteers.

A dual course and large jumps
Different types of jumps
Should definitely be interesting to high skill level riders, not just little kids or beginners Access for everyone, cleaned and maintained and we can help Adding a larger and more intense dirt jump track, it's hard to find tracks like this nearby, and would really stand out to people looking for fast and high jumps.

Wall ride!
Features from the Tilden park that was taken down!
with the Oakland pump track and dirt world in Richmond, it would be nice to see a Berkeley version of Stafford lake in Marin.

Full size BMX race track
Include a volunteer and "maker" aspect in the spirit of the play area nearby.

I think building fun features to attract bay trail users and passersby would be cool.

Unique Berkeley urban / hippie aesthetic accentuating the physical beauty of the Bay maintenance and good signage seem to be lacking at some other bike parks in the area, these would be great to see at a Berkeley Bike park. I think the proximity to so many east bay residents (Oakland, Berkeley, Richmond) will be a huge asset.

Wooden features or more permanent features Bay Area is so dry dirt features become dust after a while
Street BMX should be included to have a variety of sports included.

Hire permanent maintenance staff to keep it pristine. Add native accent plantings to keep it pretty.

Poison oak! just kidding
There is not a purpose-built cyclocross circuit anywhere in the Bay Area. It could be done by linking portions of multiple sections of the bike park.
have a designated graffiti area
It is such a narrow space, and along the water, it will be unique.

Make it rad
Landmark miniature obstacles?
Annual competition similar to the annual Kite Festival and How Berkeley Can You Get parade.

Special events
Free to use
longer lines, and more wooden features

try new features that aren’t popular or build something new every couple months to keep it new and maintain the trails well
Yes- make it a shared bike and skate park. That also is good for parents with kids who like to do both sports- you can bring both kids and keep them engaged.

Few mountain bike focused parks around here, if you focus it that way it will be unique The views!
Berkeley is about openness and opportunity for all levels and sports to enjoy themselves. It can't just be a bike park that only bikes are allowed on. We need a place for all wheeled sports to enjoy. 'teach people to fish' - put up an instruction board on how to change a tire and other useful bike maintenance skills. Also create a women friendly feel - include celebrations of local heroes such as Kate Courtney
Use the space to the Max!!!!
A really good park with different options like paved pump track, dirt pumptrack, jump line, trials area, and cyclocross loop. Collaboration with bay area clubs/teams. Proper Maintenance and Security (car break ins and bike thefts at gun point are all too common these days).

I think the biggest concern I have is that, since the city is involved, it will be too regulated or "safe." Use Adventure Playground and Dirt World as models: After setting up some initial features, let volunteers and kids do building, but then curate what's built to make it more fun.

Use the local land features, make it stand up well in dry weather.

Have an area with dirt and shovels where people are encouraged to build short-term features.

Adventure playground just down the way in Berkeley Marina is the inspiration Organized events led by local pro athletes.
a bike repair station would be great to help both the park users and other cyclists tie dye it? kidding ... can't think of anything off hand ... maybe good Bay Views include a club-house or community meeting area to support local MTB teams like Berkeley HS, middle school team-- maybe a wall or plaque area about local riders? hire a landscape architect
Art, or unique buildings/infrastructure that will stand out. Great features and Honestly, there are so few bike parks in the area that even building one will stand out. Anything colorful, artistic or just generally cool.

Have a cyclocross race there? Dirt crits too!
Well, it has a view!
Use re-used materials. Maybe a solar lighting system?
Wooden features that are painted by local artists would add culture to the park Cool jumps
I really like the Richmond dirt world. I would be wonderful to have something similar in Berkeley.

Start a volunteer program with onsite coaches on the weekends to help develop all riders and give instruction to those who might not otherwise have access to that. Bike loaner program is also critical to kids in need who just want to have fun but who can't afford a bike.

I think a flow trail within a semi-urban setting that's easily accessible would be great for riders of all skills.
not particularly, just get good designers to make it right The bike parks in these pictures are beautiful. It would be amazing to have a beautiful and safe area for kids and adults to practice.

Just do it.

Have some murals relating to Berkeley
A sign idk
Tag it the People's Republic Bike Park
Nothing specific to Berkeley, but if you made a paved pump track, that would draw riders from all over the bay area. Look up Velosolutions
Local art, sculptures mixed in, ocean related
Jump lines with quality progression
This park shouldn't try to be a copy of Lake Cunningham, it should stand out by offering the popular parts of it since the jumps are always the most popular, but also make up for its weaknesses such as Lake Cunningham not having enough tech and skills sections. Camp Tamarancho has a small skills section, but they have managed to fit so much into an area the size of a house and it ranges from beginner to beyond expert riding
make it nice and maintained. will gladly pay an entry fee More bike access for parks
reach out to the High School teams to get input
Steep terrain would be great
Model it after Cunningham BP. That's a good start.

Artwork by local youth only; Events put on by Street Level Cycles & Rich City Rides; LGBTQ ride events/clinics; Events connected to larger scale Berkeley events. Cycling doesn't have to stand alone as an activity/event. Berkeley is a creative place.

Sweet asphalt pump track like in Redmond Oregon
A short track long enough for short high school races where kids of all levels can practice and play.

Something related to Ohlone tribal resources would be nice Cyclocross course
Have a dog park attached
mention local bike shops
Beautiful, natural feeling.

Have something for all levels of riders, because then the local bike teams could ride there and everyone could have fun
Definitely a craft coffee shop.

Native trees. Integrate Berkeley art or local artist ideas. Work with local schools and teams to make it special and local. There are endless kids and coaches who will help out.

Progressive jumps and drops - there are not actually that many bike parks in the bay area.

Berkeley has all the resources possible to make a world class facility. Top of the list of priorities should be maintenance, community organization and support, and programs.

Encourage/include communities of color throughout the process, reduce barriers to entry for lower income communities
Colab with local artists for signs, sculptures, etc.
variety of features
Provide a hang out are for people to grab a snack and take a break in between rides.

Allow the community to get involved. Volunteer efforts, efforts to promote diversity and get more people into cycling

Just no. Any money spent trying to represent a signature brand/look/feel is money that would be better spend building a top-notch park (ahem, those ugly statues that have since been removed from the University Ave pedestrian bridge). Don't try to create a message, let the facility speak for itself.

Views of the bay!
skinnies and balance features in addition to jump and flow features I'd love to see our Nica high schoolers involved in the design and to host events there (I am a Nica coach and love when our riders can make a difference in their community).

Featuring art installations/artistic representation
if there are wooden features, they could be painted by local artists Fund public art to be installed as part of the bike park. Please budget upkeep of art so it isn't removed after a decade or two.

Clif Bar should pay for the whole thing
More wooden bridges/whale tails/wall rides
Berkeley sign
Add security cameras
Berkeley High was the birthplace of the high school mountain bike league and is still one of the largest teams in the country. Combined with the middle school teams and other high school teams in the East Bay, there is a high demand for a mountain bike focused park. Most other parks in the region are designed for bmx or dirt jumper bikes and not very well suited for developing mountain bike skills.

Make a long flow trail and make most of the illegal trails for bikes in Tilden right now legal lots of trees, local art, opportunities for community involvement Community contributions, art, etc.

Honoring the indigenous cultures and plants indigenous to the area, incorporating the university students
you could have publicly known dig days
Get local corporate sponsors like GU, REI or even Mike's Bikes. This is the model the Truckee Bike park uses and that seems to work well.

Bike repair station!
A nice area for hanging out
Just getting one would be unique
Make it bigger & better than other area parks
Take advantage of any natural terrain or plants in the area Have displays showcasing various riders with different backgrounds and history UCB Mountain bike team training grounds???
Make it an indoor park with big see through panels instead of walls. This way it can be used year round and become the #1 go to destination for winter/cold/rainy season.

Flow trail, kid friendly features and jumps, pump track The potential view of the bridges?
Velo solutions pump track would not require water for maintenance which seems good for drought ridden Bay Area. Any paved, non dirt pump track design might be a good fit.

Assault pump track could include paint and mural elements that represent Berkeley. Built trail features could include sculptural elements around or on the track.

Maybe a tool station. Community tools seems very Berkeley. Maybe naming the jump lines very Berkeley names?

Build it! picnic table nearby could be nice too. I think bike parks are such a fun intro to biking without having to drive into the hills. Once you finish fundamentals, then the trails are easier to tackle. It’s fun for kids just to have an open space to ride. accessible to many! There’s a fun pump track In Joaquin miller park that Oakland Devo built. Please contact them for help and to expedite the bike park build. They said it took 5 years for permits!!!! Can we do it faster? Collaborate with the Cal Cycling and Berkeley High Mountain Bike teams, since they are experts in the area
MOAR squirrels? But seriously: some food carts on the weekend would be cool. Something to draw in non-cyclists/their families. And/or a work station extension from Street Level Cycles, perhaps? As far as tools etc.

Add Native names and do landscaping with native plants
Softer dirt is nice (not rocky, if possible).

Include a (bay) water feature!
Have weekly races and training classes
Dual slalom track
Mountain bikes were invented here, a lot of UC Berkeley students were innovators in the 70s. Could be cool to embrace that legacy.

It should host many open events with shared bikes
Pump track with multiple lines
Don’t overthink it. Just having an awesome place for cyclists to come and practice skills and have fun, and to get more kids outside, is good enough.

Provide membership model, $ to keep it nice
Take full advantage of views. Build skinnies with salvaged downed redwoods to mirror out natural trail environment. Encourage and welcome non white riders in any and every way possible. Make it pretty: plants, not just raw dirt. It’s the Bay after all.

Skinny lines (ladder features) and Drop features
A mix of dirt and wooden features
get input from all ranges of cyclists!
Wood rollercoaster sections
Redwood accents; maybe themed features (like Golden Gate Bridge, Campanile, etc.) Asphalt pump track, prefabricated features, small jump line Have both big and small jump lines and pumptrack loop
View of bay.

Have a similar sized table top jump next to a gap jump. So if you can clear the table top, then you can be confident to clear the gap jump.

Have maintenance on it every week and security guards there because there is a lot of bikes getting stolen.
1) make it big, 2) lots of different features/trails for different types of riding 3) combine natural and built features
Mountain biking was invented in Marin, just a few miles away, let's lean into that native history to create the best park.

Making unique features, stuff that we don't have in the bay area will grant this park pleanty of tourism, maybe some larger wooden features/pumptrack and flow trails.

Really anything built up. The nearest other one is in Novato.

I do not. I just want it to be an inclusive and fun place.

Having jumps and obstacles that are big enough to be challenging to an advanced rider.

It doesn’t have to be unique; it just needs to be built. Anything would be great! I think that it being one of the only bike parks in the east bay will make it unique Wheelchair accessible?
Create a fun safe environment. Work with mountain bikers when building so that proper style features can be added. Some parks like McLaren Bike Park weren't built the greatest and work only for smaller (BMX) style bikes. A sloping/down hill (dual slalom style) would be really neat if possible.

Plan events like races.

Open to all bikers
paved pump track
Social areas; inclusive posters that everyone is welcome. interactive sculptures that are part of the ride.

Not me but I'm sure lots of more experienced riders will.

This is a hard one. I suppose art or using redwood as a native material might help provide a tie to local materials.

There are no dedicated trials parks in the Bay Area
Taking into consideration the view of the bay will make it very unique Just be welcoming and understand the culture of the sport Use "ITC Rennie Mackintosh" typeface for all signage. Make is easily accessible to bike paths nearby.

Tie dye paint theme
Dirtworld has mounds/jumps, but it doesn't have raised wooden rails/platforms like Stafford Lake does.

Maps of local trails
All are welcome!!! please no encampments
Art/sculptures from local artists in areas where there is no track. Have an annual fundraising event/race for a local community organization.

Rainbow colored paths
No. Except it will be in Berkeley which is huge. Everything is pretty far away.

I think that a well designed bike tack(there is a nice one in JMP in Oakland), and jumps that are separate/are gaps would make it unique. From what I know dirt world is the only other real bike park nearby, but as it is in Richmond it is still not easily accessible. Having a pump track and jumps in Berkeley would also probably encourage more kids to bike, which is very important as covid as made made getting physical activity somewhat of a challenge for many kids in Berkeley.

Signs with short skills descriptions (how to bunny hop, etc) would help remind folks that this is an inclusive park for everyone, not just hardcore riders... (and I'm a hardcore rider!) Trees, streams, obstacles.

Having any bike park will make it unique since the east bay has so few options for fun mountain biking. Build it!
Incorporate the use of reclaimed materials. Have local artist make permanent public art on display.

Take inspiration from the adventure park at the Berkeley marina.

Features/design that mimic the Bay geography.

Add features that are not seen else where
Show ohlone themed features and interpretive exhibits

local businesses can put their names on tactful signposts, dog waste bags, benches, water spigots, etc. (see Truckee Bike Park).

A paved pump track.
name one of the pump lines after Wavy Gravey
A dual pumptrack/ dual slalom.

Make it easily accessible
Bathrooms
On the bay seems like a nice idea
Paved pump track
Dedicated bike access
I don’t know Berkeley well to comment on this.
have a range of features
Sustainably built with strong community roots.

Maybe have bikes available to rent/borrow for riders who may not have a bike.

Love this. Let’s make it happen!
No. I guess trust the builders
dirt mounds?
Rails for BMX
Oak trees should be prominent
Allow dogs to run with bikers
Tiered drop zone with escalating heights, all with sloped transition landings Signs that macho misogynistic bike bro culture won't be tolerated Just build it!
The design should be all inclusive... something for all to bring the community together.

If you want to get really crazy you could try and shape the pumptrack in the shape of a B or a bear.

Connect it to the bay trail and a bus stop
For beginner to expert, need something at the park for everyone! Snack shack
Single track fun with jumps
Sponsor and help disadvantaged youth learn to bike and get them bikes Not too advanced!
Have bikes available for people to use who cannot afford to buy a bike More bears!
Mid park viewing stand/hillslope between park and Bay Trail.

Name it "People's Bike Park"
Features for inclusion such as family relaxation areas and info about BIPOC riders who contributed to the sport
Keep as many trees as possible for shade and beauty
Drops! The closest option is San Jose and those are sketchy! a Berkeley mural?
A large paved pump track would really set it apart. A drop zone or other technical practice features would also be unique.

Just having a bike park of this would make it unique in the East Bay, but connecting with the local NICA Junior High and High School teams to augment their training hosting practices, skill days etc. would be amazing. I can help as an official NICA coach if you reach out.

Jumps over boats.
don't do half measures. if you're going to make a bike park, make it big, awesome and useable for every level of rider.

Natural features like tree logs
name
Leverage Berkeley landmarks for names of features in the park Make it more than a patch of dirt! Most bike parks are simply a big dirt area and are seen by some as an eyesore. The COB had an opportunity to be a leader and reevaluate landscaping of bike parks.

Could include tough/walkable/drought resistant plants, particularly in areas between things. It could be more green and look more beautiful, even including an educational component about native plants used and/or the history of the land it's on.
training or skills clinics
Tree covering artwork/murals
Some nice Berkeley trees!
as green as possible
Integration with existing topography and shoreline ecosystems, rather than trying to reshape and control the place. Designing for sea level rise resilience and showcasing those design methods.

Nothing more Berkeley than an open and progressive bike park. make it accessible
Perhaps the park name could tip the hat to quirky Berkeley (People’s Pedals, ok that’s terrible but you get the idea).

Views of the bay and features built with reclaimed wood. just having one would be great!
No, just get it made! The bikers will bring the uniqueness :) Peace signs abound
bigger!
Depending on where the park is located, might be good to consider the wind direction when designing the lines so that it isn't dangerous when jumping The proposed location is great and will showcase Berkeley's beautiful surroundings. Improving and make bike access a priority in the surrounding area would be great, so that people can ride to the park safely and not cause congestion/parking problems by driving.

A dual slalom course and or the progressive drop feature would be an easy way to stand out.

Berkeley needs a street course for skateboarding, and an accessible park for people to learn. Berkeley Skatepark does not have these elements and is very old and not up to safety standards (concrete is cracked, the bowls are flooded when it rains, etc.)
A progression line
try to keep it close to nature...

Add art installations from local artists
It should be advertised as diverse and inclusive in some way (and it should be those things) unique art
Could decorate the park with native plants.

Allow volunteer builders and maintenance crew
North shore wooden features would set Berkeley Bike Park apart from any other in the Bay Area Wooded features
Make it mimic fun rides in the Berkeley hills that are closed to cyclists (like sido or single-track stuff in Tilden)
Uphill Tech trails for ebikes
Have lots of trees and shade nearby, include areas for younger kids to hang out, Pride symbolism
Provide a small indoor/outside shelter to be used for lectures, party rentals, tool storage Skills classes that are free to all.

Invite the local youth bike team riders and coaches to collaborate: Berkeley High, El Cerrito High, Albany High, Wildcat Composite (middle school team).

It should be inclusive - like Berkeley's skate park
we could have any wooden features made from locally sourced lumber from the eucalyptuses being cut down in the area off grizzly peak above the campus. golden gate replica?
Murals/native plants
Picnic tables in shaded areas for breaks
No
Keeping it clean and well-kept would make it unique!!!
Wood lips or an asphalt jump track really cut down on the maintenance.

Sculpture garden amidst the park.

I'm not sure it needs to be unique. What seems to be needed is more bike parks. Build a good safe one and it will be well used.

Would be awesome to have scheduled food truck rallies nearby.

This is a fantastic opportunity to include local artwork & native plants alongside the bike park If manufacturers like clearly supplied loaner bikes on weekends or did special events with youth coaches on a regular basis that would be rad. The DirtKids group on Facebook just did something similar with private efforts. Also Trips for Kids type community outreach to get poor kids who don’t have all the gear and equipment out riding to learn the sport.

Stage for live music
Dirt jumps, pump tracks, and wooden features would be nice.

Landscape architecture could make features representative of the history of the shoreline, or local artists could be involved in some way.

I’m just happy for the possibility of having a bike park closer to home, but with the great location and such an awesome city it would be a shame if the bike park wasn’t a world class park! Make it fun and not too serious!
safe ridable routes to the bike park
If it's down by the water, that would be amazing. Open to all. Volunteer maintenance crew maybe? Taco truck?
use redwood for the features

Describe any additional ideas or preferences you have for the Bike Park.

It would be great if we could move the Bay Trail path over toward the water as far as possible to maximize space for the bike park. The current space is kind of narrow.

Wood lips or blacktop are easier to maintain than dirt.

Truly as much pump track as possible. Perhaps having two distinct sections of the pump track will allow for more users when crowded.

Fun lines: dual slalom, flow track, skills course, drop zone.

Mentioned above... big berms, nice flow, paved surfaces, wooden ramps, water system/hoses for dirt areas
all levels friendly including kids to teens to adults.

There are 100s of young riders in Berkeley from MS to HS level. This would be a great resource! Separate areas are encouraged. Should be bike only, suggest paving the pump track to reduce maintenance.

I work for City of Berkeley and would be very excited to ride this park before or after work, or on my lunch break. I hope it happens!
Keep it free and accessible to all ages and it can't fail.

Definitely look successful bike parks such as Pleasanton BMX, dirt world, and Stafford lake foe the kinds of arrangements and amenities you can provide. This is going to be great and so needed! Maybe a snack shack near by! Fun place to hang out, have lunch and have community gatherings. shade. areas for spectators away from riding.

Lights to allow play until 9 pm?
There will TONS of demand for this, so plan for maintenance/upkeep, recruit local teams for teen trail work
The bike park should have a NorCal approved race track.

The park should be catered to a diverse user group. Any bike will be fun (BMX, downhill, cross country).

Make it an outdoor destination for the kids in our community Sprinkler system to control dust during the dry months
Include picnic tables, rain shelters?
A place to sit and eat snacks.

Modeling the park resources after the Lake Cunningham would be a great start toward equitable resources in the Berkeley.

Having intro/beginner infrastructure would be welcoming to all. multiple features of the same type that gradually step up in skill level Lots of local rider groups and youth mountain bike teams that would volunteer to maintain the park if they find it is a useful and valuable resource. I recommend reaching out to this committed and engaged community directly through norcalmtb.org
Separate sections for differing skill levels.

Loaner bikes for people without a bike
Make park as big as possible! Also, parking close to park Preferably near my neighborhood :)
progressive sets of jumps, wooden features, built to flow, a tall roll in, community gathering area/place to watch other riders while you wait for your turn.

i agree that jump lines should go away from the wind
Lots of flow
Flow
In addition to an Adventure Playground-like make-your-own obstacle course: Posted riding challenges; mini Strava racecourses that change each month; events and competitions. A place to hang out when not riding tables and food. Camps and after school programs.

Stuff for all riders!
Make it fun
Our current bike path along the waterfront is cherished. Used by many to learn to mtn bike, practice cornering and basic bike skills etc. yes it can be improved but over-all it is a fine practice pad. Don’t over think the plan.
large roll-ins are always fun, calabazas has a really nice one right near the entrance (going into the piano keys.

Shield the park from wind? The marina is very windy.

A do-it-yourself area (like adventure playground) where kids can build their own features.

If you could think of finding a place with wind cover because the marina often gets very windy which could blow riders away
Partnership with East Bay Parks and NorCal Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) for enough land to open an MTB cross-country course as riding and race venue for K-12 teams (such as Berkeley High) and using the parking at the Berkeley Marina and/or Golden Gate Fields to host actual NICA races.

I think wooden features would be a really good addition to the bike park! For example, wooden lips and a whale tale as shown in the second picture of the form. They are really unique, and require little to no maintenance over time unlike dirt.

Focus on fitness rather than risk
Open at night with lights
Big jumps
There should be a water fountain, and also maybe a repair station like the ones along the greenway! Family friendly. I’ve been to the BMX track in Napa and on the weekends you see families hanging out and taking turns riding. Stafford Bike Park in Novato is the same way. And let’s not shy away from jump lines both Dirt World in Richmond and Stafford Bike Park have fun jump lines that could be an example.

Lots of features of different levels
sick features
I think having some larger jumps made to be done on mountain bikes, and separate smaller ones for dirt jump bikes would be good
Mountain bike jumps not just steep dirt jumps
Having a paved pump track
Lots of community input during the whole process not just planning Don't limit it to what can be made with shaped dirt - bigger parks have wood structures that increase the level of obstacles.

Access to everyone
Big park
Pump track
A designated area for little kids

A shaded picnic area to the side of the track, allowing for non-bikers to have a place where they can relax and enjoy the scenery or view the riders.

Nice shaded hang out zone.

Opportunity for local graffiti artists to contribute (walls etc.) special hours for RC enthusiasts might be nice.

Features for young children on push bikes
Kids want to get big air. Don't fear jumps. If they are not here, they will build them somewhere else.

Include a bathroom with running water - sink and drinking fountain. A bench.

A speed ramp feature would be useful. The site is flat so some sort of elevated platform could be a kind of center for all the trails. Riders would ride down the side for speed.

Also for road bikers maybe a mini velodrome?
Hopefully not a big open dirt pit.

Afternoon winds will whip up dust
Can't be dependent on irrigation
Thank you for considering
The Truckee Bike Park (Truckee, CA) is a great example of an exceptional bike park.

Trees!
Cool to have some jumps made for mt bikes since a lot of bike parks are made for dirt jumpers or bmx Ensure that POC users are included and have access via public transportation A skills/trails section could be fun. For CX have loose gravel and a deep sand pit.

It could be interesting to have both a dirt and a paved pump track Viewing areas. Funding for upkeep! No camping.

I'd like it to be earth-based and have shade for resting. I do not think skateboarders should be allowed or take up any space.

Not a skate park. I prefer dirt features, environmentally they are better for runoff and nicer to fall on.

Thanks for taking this on
BMX Jumps of varying sizes and good ways to build up skills in different zones (pump track flowing into bigger jumps)
Shaded bike repair zone for adjustments, tire changes; toilet facilities, shaded observation areas, lots of trees for shade and wind break.

Make it huge!!
Look to Valmont Bike Park
Easy bike access from downtown Berkeley. COB skills clinics/camps to help kids grow. i would like to have a progression line where you can go from small tabletops to bigger ones, and then onto gaps
good jumps, nice pump track, and cool features
Nothing else to add except some street features for skate would be amazing.

Progressive jump lines are really fun for all, a slalom course would be fun, and BMX features A place to create inclusive programming.

Bike and Skateboarding are Olympic sports now, if we don't provide a place for kids to progress, how will we expect them to have the opportunity to compete? These types of sports should be built into our public areas in order for kids to want to get outside and be active. We can't just say "we already have a skate park" we want a bike only park. How many Soccer fields do we have, how many Basketball courts or tennis courts do we have? This is an opportunity to build a great center for more

than just Bikes, like the park in Napa (with a skate park and bike park right next to each other). These sports are getting more popular and more mainstream that need more accessible including environments.
host cyclocross races
Have a range of options
If you haven't already, please reach out to the Wildcat Composite Middle School (Berkeley, Albany, El Cerrito) mountain biking team. I can put you in touch with them. We have a ton of energy and a bunch of kids who would use this frequently. Great idea! I really like the Truckee bike park. You could make it similar to that.

Will need to proactively prevent it from turning into a homeless encampment. Is there a special park designation that would allow tighter enforcement of no-camping laws? Water access, dog play pen?
One that provides challenges for all ages
Please keep this opportunity open for a bike park rather than another skate park Great idea to fill a growing, healthy trend!!!
Please make it accessible to all age riders, different sections for different age groups. See Truckee bike park
if there was a course for cyclocross in addition to a flow course-- that might create a lot of event opportunities and CX course would be very unique for the area. couldn't this trail go all the way out to C. Chavez park? A clean well maintained area is clean, I'm sure riders will contribute to cleaning up. But sounds like a totally awesome project and I hope that it works out. Build it And the riders will come! RC cars should not be allowed, or only during a very limited hour. Strangely, there's a dynamic at Dirtworld where adults show up with the (expensive) toy cars and kids feel too intimidated to ride.

Also, the park surface should be dirt. Features made from wood are OK too, but no concrete or pavement. Note that this will require maintenance, so it needs to planned and budgeted for.

Have weeknight dirt crits
Bike parks are great for getting kids on bikes and off screens. Both of my kids dramatically reduced screen time when they joined the local middle school mountain bike team. My son loves to go to Dirt World in Richmond, it would be great to have another park in the area Biking is growing so fast in Berkeley, it would be great to have more spaces where my kids can work on their skills, have fun, and hang out with their friends without having to go to Richmond (Dirt World).

Look at the dirt jump park in Pleasanton as a model.

No skateboards or hikers, only bikes!
Places for parents to hang out and watch out.

On site mechanic's station. Maybe partner with the folks at aquatic park.

Make it mandatory for riders to maintain the park and don't let remote-controlled mini vehicles to access it (e.g., Richmond pump track).

Make it dirt.

Since you have a large skate park nearby, it would be great if this was for bikes only. There would be less potential for accidents and arguments.

We love the one at Stafford lake but it is too far. Something like that would be great Lots of jumps

I've heard there's skate interest. I think it makes sense to consider incorporating aspects that provide opportunities for both bikes and skates if possible.

Take a look at Lake Cunningham park in San Jose. They did a pretty good job for the space available.

Community involved maintenance
The east bay desperately needs another bike park!
Food trucks or some sort of food court or partnership with food delivery services. It's common knowledge that Berkeley has a problem with bike theft so people, me included, are unwilling to eat in town with their bikes locked up to their cars or left unattended outside of a store front, but if people could bring their bikes with them while they grab a burrito in the parking lot, they'll feel safe and encouraged to spend money inside of the city. I wish Lake Cunningham had food trucks nearby, I always have so much fun there and I leave not because I'm tired, but because I'm hungry. lets ride bikes
several unique areas, so MTBs don't pile up in waiting
The track should be built with maintenance by design, not as an after thought Secure and safe.

Go big. See Truckee Bike Park for example but included a paved pump track too.

Picnic area, access to drinking water, tool station, pumptrack tor tots A short track!
Separate beginner trail for little kids
Cyclocross course
Make it as accessible as possible to all riders!
have skill progression, and a pump track
Take advantage of location by the bay (such as nice views).

It would be cool to have a pump track
It would be awesome if there would be the ability to hold events in the future. Perhaps some manufacturer supported test rides or other events that would help to support the park and the community.

Large park big jumps
I think this is a great idea
Just build it and then maintain it. Do it fast and not in 10 years. This is desperately needed. it should be rideable by all skill levels, especially kids.

None, would just be stoked to see this happen!
Very excited to have this project implemented!
I hope there is no parking lot for this park. There is plenty of parking already at the new brickyard cove, not to mention the sports complex, not to mention accessibility by BART and the new Center St parking structure. I hope no space that COULD be used for park space is instead used to store vehicles.

The ability to hold events would be awesome.
trail and skill focused
Some shade/coverage from the sun would be great!
involve volunteers.

I am willing to back with time and financially
I don't, but I'm looking forward to it very much.

Pump track. Skinnies. Progressive jump lines.

There's a pump track in Richmond. While those are great, I think a flatter x-country trail would be a more unique addition to the bay. If we could get even a 3 mile loop in the space of technical mtn biking that would be rad.

Thanks for doing this! I am in full support and can't wait to see this come to life. a water fountain and/or some way to refill a water bottle nearby. allow events to be held at the bike park.

Perhaps use certified volunteer "stewards" to help maintain the park (shaping, digging, watering etc) open as many hours as possible. Budget for upkeep and improvements.

Keep it alive!
Benches sun screen storage boxes
Pave it so it will last
Allow for park to grow and evolve rather than build an overly (and possibly poorly) designed park that might not suit the needs of the mtb community. Listen to the high school kids providing guidance.

King flow trail
build it quickly and keep it open ended
Bathrooms with good lighting and camera in parking lot.

Drops and jumps. Not many natural features to learn on in the bay area Ample and secure parking as as public safety come to mind. How do we avoid car break ins and bike thefts.

Also how do we support a thriving local economy by encouraging visitors to patronize local businesses Be close enough to parking/adequate parking
Make it Happen!!!
Excited for the idea!!
A picnic/ slag hangout area to make the park communal
Just get it done!
Need to ensure ample nearby parking for families with younger kids that cannot ride to the ride Hoses
Maybe have events where a pro demonstrates how to use it? would love to see some nice drop progression lines!
Organize special events to promote the space/sport
Longer trails through the woods or perimeter
Ensure bike infrastructure and public transit allow those without cars to access.

Built element like wood, rock and asphalt will have more longevity. Dirt tracks require more maintenance, and the track should have sone local club elements to coordinate work days. Suggest having a maintenance budget and coordinating with the bay trails council easy bay. Have a hangout area with shade and tables near the jump and pump track area. Access to water for drink and trail work especially near the larger jump features. Sprinkler system can help maintain and dust suppression on flow trails. Bathrooms. Good Bike access to the park with good Bike racks The jump lines should get progressively harder. So, after mastering jump line 1 (the beginner line), the rider should feel comfortable with the second line. One issue I have with JMP pump track is that the jumps are not well built. Not big enough. Also, there is only one line. 4 jump lines would be great at Berkeley bike park. The 3rd and 4th lines should have sizable jumps. Again, Dirtworld has a really good layout but the wind is terrible.

Keep it fun and safe. Is there a way to
Keep the area protected from the recent bike armed robberies ? Or deter encampments? Biking is such a great way for
Kids of all ages to get exercise and be outside. They should be able to use the park without fear for basic safety.

Keep up the great work on this! I know it takes a lot to get a little done, especially in Berkeley.

Water fountains and trash cans and restroom facilities would be nice Different lines with progressive difficulty would be great. Since I'm intermediate, I prefer tabletops so that if I can't clear it, I can at least ride it out (instead of casing into the other side and getting destroyed).

Have a restroom and drinking water
great idea for this location
Snack bar or food trucks
Make it a place where the community can come together, and all people are welcome! Building along a gentle slope makes a HUGE difference for bikes (thanks gravity!). Biking is an all age activity, so good to keep that in mind.

It should be kids friendly
Pump track with multiple lines
Food trucks are always fun
Waterfront is a bit flat - why not an offroad route to grizzly peak n back? Free tools to use, classes on bike repair etc..

Please focus on dust control in this windy location. Limit uncovered dirt to trail only. The rest needs mulch and plants.

Pump track, Jump track, and technical track
I have no notes but please build this
clinics?
Make sure it's safe enough area for kids.

We desperately need more bike parks in the Bay Area! We have fallen way behind other parts of California and the country on interesting trails and terrain for bikers. pump track
Asphalt pump track, prefabricated mtb features, small jump line Have both big and small jump lines and pumptrack loop
Easy access to nearby bike paths.

N/a
Build it and they will come!
I don’t have any
go for it!
Food truck days, community clean ups, local school integrations A fun supportive pleasant environment, with a good deal of fun mixed in, with something for every type and skill level rider. Build it and they will come! Graduated drops, a jump section, safe space for spectators It should be welcoming and fun. I do not want something just for expert riders. I want something that beginners feel welcome at too. All ages and all skill levels.

It needs sufficient parking and a water supply to keep the park maintained.

A pump track is fine, but it should be far more than that. I think many parks have pump tracks already. We need bigger jumps. There’s nowhere in the Bay Area (besides Pacifica if you count that) to work on improving at higher levels of difficulty of jumps. We need big features. We already have a multitude of smaller features and pump tracks. This should be a place that challenges riders, not something that you can roll over everything.

Steeper jumps over longer jump. Thanks for reading my responses Involve the mountain bike community and professional trail builders. Make the jumps progressive.

Gated off if possible, close it at a certain time of day. Keep it clean and safe.

Handy restrooms
There should big jumps, small jumps and thing that beginners to Pro can do separate lines for different skill levels would be great Places to sit and picnic; drinking water, ground covers. Next is the velodrome. Thank you for filling this need.

Lots of tabletops for learning jumping
I would like to see jumps built with prefabricated lips, with intuitive progression between line levels of skill. I would like to see an asphalt pump track
I like parks that include features more similar to natural terrain, and not just pure pump tracks Parking nearby would be good, and or emergency vehicle access Jump line, pump track, and drops of varying sizes would be great! I like berms and turtles.

Focus on skill development and mtb centric jump lines
Paid entry to keep up the track
Lights for use at night,
Bigger is always better. More square footage, protected bike routes to get there Park district classes and camps at the park!
For for BMX and mountain bikes and fun for a lot of skill levels.

Include areas with shade for hot days
Basically challenging jumps and a nice pump track.

Multiple *explicit* entrances to riding areas (i.e. with an arch or something) - plus some benches outside the riding area, to encourage spectators
Rather than just dirt jumping, nice to incorporate native grassy plants and features.

The concepts look great!
Make sure you have funding and/or a really strong commitment from local bike stores & clubs for ongoing maintenance.

Repair stand with tools available, shaded seating areas, secure bike area, water fountains, bike loaner program for kids without access to bikes, scheduled coaching opportunities, community message board,
Would be a great place to introduce people to the sport rather just be a place for expert riders something fun for all ages & abilities
In addition to everything mentioned, drop progression would also be nice too.

Lights in the winter would be nice
The park should be safely and easily accessible by bike and by existing bike paths.

Public and open to all
Wall ride feature would be nice
Paved pump track would be amazing, with direction marked to avoid injuries due to traffic flow.

Kids are building features and all the city can seem to do is destroy what the kids built by hand and not to a design spec. Please take a new approach and do something positive in this direction.

It would be great to have a bike park.

Invite groups for skills days for all ages
Have bathrooms on site.

Safe for lots of ages. Hang out area for resting. Electricity for music. Maybe a stage for concerts / events
Good upkeep
area for little kids
Smooth dirt!
Make sure it’s accessible to all users.

Tree lined areas s bay view’s clean up the homeless camps have it patrolled One-Direction pump tracks
I'm excited
Again, as much space as possible to accommodate huge demand Just build it!
Pump track is good. But various "skills" elements will help all riders.

Have a water fountain/bottle refiller. I always bring 4 bottles of water to dirt world if I’m going for a whole day and carrying that in my backpack on a dirt jumper 5 miles is not fun.

This is a great project, we need more bike parks.

Dual Slalom Track, XC Trail, Drop Zone, Slopestyle and more! Snack shack
Place where people can come out and have fun
Benches
Encourage girls, welcome diverse ethnicities, outreach to underserved communities and provide incentives to engage them in this sport
Space for food trucks to gather
Let the community maintain the park with city help on scheduled work days. Lights for after-daylight use. Paved so that wet ground doesn't shut it down.

Make it big and fun
I think it would be great to have one!
Would love it! Also was designated trails in Tilden for mountain bikers Landscaping for aesthetics
Water and bike tools are nice to haves, along with a shaded spot for parents or people to rest.

Consider adding a proper BMX track that league can use to host teams and races.

Keep the zones separate so children aren’t in the way of the more advanced features. host events? and keep it maintained.

Much thanks for this initiative
bus access

I am a lifelong Albany/Berkeley (now Oakland) resident and previous user of the jumps that were in/near this space. I would love to be involved in whatever capacity possible.

It is very important that this project caters to different skill and age levels. It respects the diversity of the area and the previous use of the land. Truckee Bike Park is a great example of this as well as Stevie Smith Bike Park in Nanaimo, BC.

Please do not create yet another tiny, barely rideable pump track with nothing else! Skills instruction courses or programs
Love this idea, as someone who’s ridden for decades but feels like my skills are poor I’d love a safe place for me and my kids to learn.

The more riding availability in the bay area for all skill levels the better Make a good portion of the jumps have geometry for mountain bikes (because BMX and other small bikes can easily hit these larger/longer jumps but longer bikes have trouble on the jumps made specifically for BMX)
more permanent than dirt
Shade structures and wind breaks for gatherings, breaks, and events.

Water fountains, tool area, and bathrooms.

Please do not make it for skateboards - There are already multiple skate parks in Berkeley and surrounding communities
Please do it would be great for our kids!
Benches for families to rest, a water fountain, and restrooms with frequent maintence.

All these pictures look awesome!
I’m sure other people have great ideas. I just think it’s a wonderful thing to happen.

So hopeful that this will get built- it would be amazing! Thank you!! water fountains, bike tools
A pump track would be great
There are riders of every genre in the bay area, BMX, Dirt Jump, MTB, Gravel, Road.. probably a handful of uni-cyclists as well ( and most of us ride multiple disciplines. Park goers are usually BMX, DJ and MTB however there are always families that come out with small children, I am sure you will have no trouble sourcing ideas for the main crowd of riders but if we can, lets try and provide a quality experience for future riders and their families too.

Some bike parks end up in an isolated area with no restrooms, or any other amenities near by.

Somewhere to buy a snack and a drink at or near the park would be awesome.

Side note:

Bike parks are rare in the bay area and I am so happy to see a new one being discussed, but can someone PLEASE give a nudge to the powers that be in the eastern part of Contra Costa County? That whole area is a recreational wasteland and I am tired of driving so far away to take my kids to do something healthy and fun that the whole family can do together. Good for you Berkley for seeing the need and caring enough to fill it!
None. Thank you for this project. There are few trails for mountain biking despite so many hills in Berkeley
Berkeley needs a street course for skateboarding, and an accessible park for people to learn.

A flow track through the trees
make it sustainable
check out lake Cunningham they get and keep people coming back and they charge...

A long section of flow with turns and jumps. Not short loops with no room for speed. Wood features to ride on and over. A loop to practice trail riding skills like hopping over obstacles Clearly marked directional signs, no homeless encampments Tool centers for fixing bike, shade and seated areas with water/vending machines nearby for quick snacks and hydration
Nice jumps
Multiple level areas.

Easy access and parking
See the Auburn bike park for example of a great bike park to model the Berkeley one after Safe for young people
It is very windy on the waterfront, consider vegetative wind break Picnic areas and other places for people to watch and hang out. viewing area for non-riders
Bike polo field; Velodrome!
i just think being able to do races would be super sick trail etiquette
Flow/pump track; there aren’t really opportunities to practice those skills on trails in Tilden I don't have any
If this goes well it would be wonderful to see professionals come and visit to do exhibitions. Or maybe even competitions for kids.

As someone who has been riding BMX bikes for 30 years and mountain bikes for 10 (I’m 35 years old) the major thing I see in bike parks being built is that isn’t stuff everyone especially the people at a highish level.

Snack shack.

Please have a range of skill level features. Also how to keep it safe from thieves? Water spigots , rest area
Please consider prevailing wind direction when designing any feature and consider using native plantings as wind screens where appropriate.

Must have some shaded picnic areas for parents. Hopefully some parking. Get the high school teams involved with mentoring kids who need encouragement.

Incorporated under indigenous land trust, offer alternative housing / shelter / space for unhoused people
A flow trail would be great.

I would just LOVE to see a mountain bike park, and more specific mountain bike-related areas, happen in Berkeley. Seems like someone is always mad at us mountain bikers, so it would be nice to have our own space to have some fun outside.
1) Price will be an important factor for me
2) As someone still learning jumps, beginner features (small tables, pumptrack) are important to me Maybe a paved Pump track similar to the one they have in Temecula California? Make it fun and not too serious!
I would look to what Santa Cruz has been doing - paving these seem to be the most resilient / sustainable: https://santacruztrails.org/projects/ramsay-park-pumptrack plenty of mileage

We have so many riders and so few places like this. What a great place for kids to be (from 3 to 80 year old kids). Love the idea!!
I much prefer tabletop jumps to gap jumps.

Subject: Budget Referral: Dreamland for Kids Playground Design

RECOMMENDATION
Refer to the Fiscal Year 2024 budget process $300,000 for the conceptual design of the reconstruction of the Dreamland for Kids Playground at Aquatic Park.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
$300,000 in General Fund impact.

BACKGROUND
Dreamland is a fantasy playground with wooden towers and a forested landscape, designed in 1999 by Berkeley school children under the guidance of architect Robert Leathers and Associates, that consists of castles, slides, swings, bridges, tunnels, and more to inspire adventure and imagination.

However, several elements of the structure have failed and been removed.

Additionally, the playground is currently not compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The general public has indicated their desire to invest in this structure and uplift it as a destination playground. The $300,000 in allocated funds would cover conceptual design costs through the final design and bidding process.

The City of Berkeley’s General Plan’s Open Space and Recreation Element1 includes policies that “give highest priority to maintaining and improving the City’s existing network of open space and recreation facilities” and “give high priority to providing additional facilities for populations that are disadvantaged or underserved.”

Subject: Celebración Cultural Sylvia Mendez (Spring Cultural Celebration) by the Sylvia Mendez School PTA: Relinquishment of Council Office Budget Funds to General Fund and Grant of Such Funds
RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the expenditure of funds, including $1,000 from the discretionary council office budget of Vice Mayor Ben Bartlett, to the Sylvia Mendez Elementary School PTA to host a Spring Cultural Celebration event on April 30, 2023, in the courtyard on campus. The funds will be relinquished to the City’s General Fund from the discretionary council office budget of Vice Mayor Ben Bartlett and the discretionary council office budgets of any other City Councilmembers who would like to contribute.

BACKGROUND:

This year, the Berkeley Unified School District’s (BUSD) only Two-Way Immersion school, Sylvia Mendez Elementary (Sylvia Mendez), will host a Cultural Celebration to celebrate the global heritage, culture, and nationalities of its community. Community members are creating teams to determine the information, tastes, crafts, dress, music, and performances they would like to share at the event. The event will feature food catered by local ethnic restaurants, but teams may bring additional homemade items to share with the greater community.

This is Sylvia Mendez’s inaugural Cultural Celebration, though the PTA Executive Committee hopes it will grow into an annual event. With such a diverse community, Sylvia Mendez seeks to contextualize some of our students' cultural influence and background.

To ensure the funds are properly disbursed and provided to offset some of the costs associated with this event, the funds should be sent to the Sylvia Mendez PTA organization to distribute accordingly. This parent-led committee is already funding the majority of the costs of the event and has been a reliable resource to offset budget shortfalls. The donations ultimately support the program guidelines laid out by BUSD (on the Sylvia Mendez Elementary website1), which is to “develop long-lasting 1 https://www.berkeleyschools.net/schools/elementary-schools/sylviamendez-elementary/

This event is particularly important to rebuild the community, especially in light of the lack of events over the course of the last few years due to the pandemic. As our schools seek to recover from the social damage due to COVID-19, events like this help foster and build a greater understanding of the families within and the development of our community.

Subject: Referral to the June 2023 Budget Process for $100,000 in Traffic Safety Upgrades for the MLK and Haste Intersection

RECOMMENDATION
Referral to the June 2023 Budget Process for $100,000 in traffic safety improvements at MLK and Haste.

CURRENT SITUATION, EFFECTS, AND RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION The MLK and Haste intersection is just blocks from Berkeley High School and Washington Elementary, and has been the subject of a number of traffic safety incidents, including a recent injury crash involving a senior.

MLK is a major thoroughfare for the Downtown and the broader City, and lack of safety features at this particular intersection, like MLK and Addison, is of particular concern for District 4 residents. According to residents, it appears that there is no arm that extends over MLK for northbound drivers to see, as there are at all other intersections for northbound drivers between Ashby and University.

This intersection serves as an important corridor for seniors, elementary, middle, high school and college students, shoppers, and inhabitants of existing and new housing.

Public Works staff are in the process of obtaining a copy of the recent collision report to investigate the cause of the collision, and to review the bike, pedestrian, and Vision Zero plans to see what upgrades may be planned for this intersection. Staff are also actively working on quick build safety projects on MLK in District 3.

This item will be updated with more specific information and figures in the coming weeks.

Subject: Referring $372,000 to the June 2023 Budget Process for Staffing Costs Associated with Administering the Empty Homes Tax

RECOMMENDATION
Refer $372,000 to the June 2023 Budget Process for annual City staffing costs to administer the Empty Homes Tax:

Accounting Office Specialist III (Finance) 0.25 FTE - $38,750 Associate Planner (Rent Stabilization Board) 1 FTE - $185,670 Office Specialist II (Rent Stabilization Board) 1 FTE - $115,000 Mailing Costs for Outreach and Noticing (Rent
Stabilization Board) $10,000

7.4% Overhead Costs for Counselors, General
Counsel, and Office of Executive Director (Rent
Stabilization Board)
$22,250

CURRENT SITUATION, EFFECTS, AND RATIONALE FOR RECOMMENDATION On November 8, 2022 nearly two thirds of Berkeley voters approved Measure M, the Empty Homes Vacancy Tax, intended to incentivize owners of housing property to bring units back on the market and discourage speculation. The law will go into effect beginning January 1, 2024 and is expected to identify thousands of vacant units that could be candidates for acquisition, while also generating millions of dollars in revenue for housing acquisition and production. City staff are needed to administer the tax. As a general tax, funds from the Empty Homes Tax will be placed into the General Fund.

Section 7.54.070 of the tax specifies that “[t]he City Manager or their designee shall enforce the provisions of this Chapter and may prescribe, adopt, and enforce rules and

Referring $372,000 to the June 2023 Budget Process for Staffing Costs Associated with Administering the Empty Homes Tax

2 regulations relating to the administration and enforcement of this chapter.” Therefore, in order to implement the tax consistent with the timeline approved by voters, it is in the public interest to budget appropriate staffing to ensure the tax is operational consistent with the timeline and scope approved by voters.

BACKGROUND
The Rent Stabilization Board is poised to handle the outreach, noticing, and customer service facing portion of the tax implementation.

As is done in neighboring cities like Oakland, it is necessary for the City to first establish and maintain a list of properties that may be subject to tax. The primary data point underpinning the Empty Homes Tax is the Rent Stabilization Board’s “not available to rent” (NAR) list. This list includes rental unit owners who have indicated to the City that they no longer intend to rent out their property, which in theory indefinitely takes it off the market and relieves them of their duty to pay Rent Board fees. In 2022, 1,128 fully or partially rent control regulated units have been classified by their owners as indefinitely removed from the market.

This budget referral includes a 1 FTE planner within the Rent Stabilization Board whose role will be helping to review the NAR list and other relevant lists, and conducting field visits as appropriate to determine and maintain a scope of potential and actual properties subject to the tax for outreach and noticing purpose. Using the list of properties potentially subject to the tax, the Planner will coordinate with the Finance Department to contact and/or notice owners up to three times about the tax rules and regulations, including exemptions, and procedures for paying the tax. The Board estimates an annual $10,000 for mailing costs. The planner may also help coordinate and run community/townhall meetings to provide information and answer questions from affected property owners.

In addition, the Rent Stabilization Board will maintain 1 FTE Office Specialist II position to assist with administrative work, and to assist the planner and other Board staff in establishing a general interface for property owners. This interface will include a dedicated phone line that will be monitored for email/phone inquiries associated with the tax.

To calculate, assess, and collect the tax, this item includes 0.25 FTE for an Accounting Office Specialist III within the Finance Department.

As in Oakland, annual administration costs may drop after the first year.

It is in the public interest to fulfill the voters’ will as part of the June, 2023 budget process.

Subject: Letter in Support of AB 73 (Idaho Stop)

RECOMMENDATION
Send a letter to Assemblymember Tasha Boerner Horvath (cc: Governor Gavin Newsom, Senator Nancy Skinner, Assemblymember Buffy Wicks) in support of AB 73, which would allow bicyclists 18 years of age and older to treat all-way stop signs as yield signs.

BACKGROUND
AB 73 would allow bicyclists to treat stop signs as yield signs at intersections with an all- way stop. This maneuver is often referred to as an “Idaho Stop,” as Idaho was the first state to allow cyclists to treat stop signs as yield signs in 1982. Currently, California Vehicle Code requires bicyclists to execute a full stop at all stop signs like motorists are required to.

AB 73 would permit cyclists 18 years of age and older to treat stop signs as yield signs.

Cyclists under 18 years of age who are stopped for failing to yield at an intersection would be given a warning citation. AB 73 also requires the Commissioner of the California Highway Patrol to submit a report to the State Legislature by January 1, 2029 evaluating the impacts of implementing the Idaho Stop. The bill would sunset on January 1, 2031.

Assemblymember Tasha Boerner Horvath previously authored AB 122 (2021-2022), which was a very similar bill. AB 122 would have also legalized the Idaho Stop, but it did not include an exemption for youth under 18 years of age. Although AB 122 passed the Assembly and the State Senate, Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed it on the grounds that it would be dangerous for young cyclists under 18 years of age to be encouraged to roll through stop signs instead of fully stopping.1
In response to the veto, AB 1713 was introduced in early 2022 by Assemblymember Boerner Horvath, which incorporated the exemption for youth under 18. However, the bill was ultimately held on the Senate Floor pending further conversations with the California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA), Caltrans, and California Highway 1 https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/AB-122-1082021.pdf

It is common practice for bicyclists to treat stop signs as yield signs. Since bicycles do not have the same mass and size as motor vehicles, a properly executed Idaho Stop is safe for cyclists themselves and for nearby pedestrians. A 2010 UC Berkeley School of Public Health Environmental Science Division study evaluating the impacts of the “Idaho Stop” found an immediate 14.5 percent decrease in injuries in the year following the law’s implementation in Idaho.2 The study found that cities in Idaho are 30.4 percent safer for cyclists overall, and researchers stated that “these inquiries strongly supported adoption of the Idaho Law, and no entity whatsoever identified any negative safety result associated with passage of the law.”
The Idaho Stop is also a racial justice issue; although existing law applies to all cyclists, people of color are disproportionately stopped by police for rolling through stop signs on bikes. Between 2016 and 2018, 59.4 percent of people stopped in bicycle traffic stops in Oakland were Black, while only comprising 23.6 percent of the total population.3 Beyond disproportionately burdening people of color with fines, allowing police officers to stop cyclists simply for rolling through a stop sign creates unnecessary opportunities for police harassment that may escalate to use of force.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Sending this letter has no direct financial implications. However, the passage of AB 73 would result in a very minor reduction in fine revenue for the City from traffic stops.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
Sending this letter has no direct environmental sustainability implications. However, permitting the Idaho Stop would encourage cycling, a sustainable mode of transportation, by reducing the fear of being stopped by police for minor infractions — especially for people of color who are disproportionately impacted by police violence and fines.

Letter in Support of AB 73 (Idaho Stop) CONSENT CALENDAR APRIL 25, 2023

Assemblymember Tasha Boerner Horvath
State Capitol
Sacramento, CA 95814
RE: City of Berkeley’s Support for AB 73
Dear Assemblymember Boerner Horvath,
The Berkeley City Council writes to express its strong support for AB 73, which would allow bicyclists 18 years and older to treat stop signs as yield signs at intersections with all-way stops. The “Idaho Stop” has already been proven to be a safe and effective maneuver in many states throughout the country, including Idaho, Oregon, and Arkansas.

People riding bicycles often already treat stop signs as yield signs because the Idaho Stop is safe and more efficient than a full stop. Slowing down safely instead of stopping fully allows cyclists to conserve energy, and making this safe and common maneuver legal would encourage Californians to bike to destinations instead of driving.

It is also important to acknowledge that, because current law is enforced selectively, police disproportionately stop people of color for failing to execute a full stop on a bicycle. This opportunity for racially biased policing not only leads people of color to bear a higher burden of fines for traffic violations, but also to more encounters with police and potential for use of force.

State after state is legalizing the Idaho Stop because treating cyclists the same as cars at intersections has proven to be unnecessary and counterproductive. It is time for California to do the same, and the Berkeley City Council thanks you for your leadership on this important issue.

Sincerely,
The Berkeley City Council

ASSEMBLY BILL No. 73
Introduced by Assembly Member Boerner Horvath
December 13, 2022
An act relating to vehicles. An act to amend, repeal, and add Sections 21800 and 22450 of the Vehicle Code, relating to vehicles. legislative counsel’s digest
AB 73, as amended, Boerner Horvath. Vehicles. Vehicles: required stops: bicycles.

Existing law requires the driver of any vehicle, including a person riding a bicycle, when approaching a stop sign at the entrance of an intersection, to stop before entering the intersection. A violation of this requirement is an infraction.

This bill would require a person who is 18 years of age or older riding a bicycle upon a two-lane highway when approaching a stop sign at the entrance of an intersection with another roadway with two or fewer lanes, where stop signs are erected upon all approaches, to yield the right-of-way to any vehicles that have either stopped at or entered the intersection, or that are approaching on the intersecting highway close enough to constitute an immediate hazard, and to pedestrians, as specified, and continue to yield the right-of-way to those vehicles and pedestrians until reasonably safe to proceed. The bill would require other vehicles to yield the right-of-way to a bicycle that, having yielded as prescribed, has entered the intersection. The bill would state that these provisions do not affect the liability of a driver of a motor vehicle as a result of the driver’s negligent or wrongful act or omission in the operation of a motor vehicle. The bill would impose a warning citation

98

for a first violation by a person who is under 18 years of age and fails to stop when approaching a stop sign at the entrance of an intersection.

The bill would also require the Commissioner of the California Highway Patrol to submit a report to the Legislature, as specified, regarding the effects of this bill.

These provisions would be repealed on January 1, 2031.

By changing the elements of an existing crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.

Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

Existing law requires the dri ver of an y vehicle, including a person riding a bic ycle, when approaching a stop sign at the entrance of an intersection, to stop before entering the intersection. A violation of this requirement is an infraction.

This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation relating to a stop-as-yield pilot program seeking to impro ve the flow of traffic by allowing both drivers and bicyclists to move safely at an intersection where there is a stop sign.

V ote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no yes.​ State-mandated local program: no yes.​

ACTION CALENDAR
April 25, 2023
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Dee Williams-Ridley, City Manager
Submitted by: Liam Garland, Director, Public Works
Subject: Proposition 218 Procedures and Five Year Zero Waste Rate Schedule

RECOMMENDATION

1. Adopt a Resolution approving initiation of the Proposition 218 procedures for the proposed Zero Waste Fund Five Year Rate Schedule and adding Zero Waste customers to the City’s Very Low Income Refund program; and

2. Adopt first reading of an Ordinance amending Berkeley Municipal Code Section

12.38.090 to clarify that General Funds may be used to subsidize low income residents.

SUMMARY
Staff sought City Council’s input on a proposed five year rate schedule at the February 28, 2023 work session. Staff is returning to gain City Council’s approval to initiate the Proposition 218 procedures to adjust Zero Waste rates consistent with the phased-in approach recommended by staff at the work session. If City Council approves, notices will be mailed to Berkeley property owners in the next several weeks. These notices will describe how residents can submit written protests in advance of City Council’s June 27 public hearing on the Zero Waste rates. At that public hearing, the City Clerk will determine whether a majority protest exists. Per Proposition 218, a majority protest exists if 50% plus one of Berkeley’s property owners or tenants (one per parcel) submit valid protests of the proposed rates. If a majority protest exists, the proposed rates cannot move forward. If no majority protest exists, then City Council can consider approval of new rates. Approved rates would be in effect on July 1, 2023. Given vacancies in the Zero Waste Division (ZWD) and Finance Department, implementation of the new rates and enrollments into the Very Low Income Refund program may face delays.

CURRENT SITUATION AND EFFECTS
City Council held a work session on a Five Year Zero Waste Rate Schedule on February 28, 2023. Several of the comments and questions raised in the work session are addressed in this staff report.

Zero Waste Five Year Rate Schedule ACTION CALENDAR
FY 2024/2028 April 25, 2023

The proposed rate schedules ensure sustainable and stable funding of the Zero Waste Fund to support City Strategic Plan Goals to provide state-of-the-art, well-maintained infrastructure, amenities, and facilities; be a global leader in addressing climate change, advancing environmental justice, and protecting the environment; and be a customer- focused organization that provides excellent, timely, easily-accessible service and information to the community.

The activities of the Zero Waste Division (ZWD) are funded by the Zero Waste Fund, an enterprise fund in which sufficient revenue must be generated to cover ZWD costs. City staff have worked with HF&H Consultants to review and analyze costs associated with the City’s collection and recycling programs, other programs such as Clean Cities (street sweeping, illegal dumping, and other cleanups), and services that make progress toward the City’s Zero Waste goal.

Proposition 218 allows the City to collect its costs of providing Zero Waste service through a tiered rate structure. Such rates can cover all costs necessary to delivering the service, including operational, maintenance, financial, and capital expenditures. The proposed rate schedule would provide sufficient revenue for the following:
 ZWD’s forecasted operations based on projections from actual and planned costs:
o residential collection and processing costs of all material types, including refuse, recycling, and composting;
o commercial collection and processing costs of all material types, including refuse, recycling, and composting;
o off-site hauling and composting of green/food waste for all customers, and o off-site hauling, sorting, and marketing of construction and demolition debris for all customers; and
o contract costs related to the above services:
 residential curbside recycling collection (Ecology Center’s 10 year contract with not-to-exceed (NTE) of $54.5 million through June 30, 2031);
 collected recyclables’ sorting and marketing (Community Conservation Centers’ 10 year contract with NTE of $30.1 million through June 30, 2031);
 organics hauling and composting (Recology’s - Blossom Valley Organics North’s nine year contract with NTE of $26.7 million through February 28, 2025); and
 construction & demotion hauling and recycling (Zanker Recycling’s 10 year contract with NTE of $21.5 million through June 30, 2027);  landfill disposal (Waste Management’s – Altamont Landfill 15 year contract with NTE of $32.7 million through December 31, 2026);

FY 2024/2028 April 25, 2023

o note there is some uncertainty with the revenue and expense from recyclables’ sorting and marketing, where these expenses have generally risen but revenue dropped precipitously from 2015 to 2019;  AMCS, a $1.5 million computerized management system to replace FUND$ that will improve customer service/responsiveness, provide clear and concise invoicing, allow educational inserts, and support the City’s preparation of required regulatory reports;
 $6.773 million in pre-construction costs for the Solid Waste and Recycling Transfer Station’s (SW&RTS) Replacement Project;
 reducing the quantities of recyclables, green and food materials currently thrown in the refuse cart and landfilled, and contamination in both dual stream and green/food scraps;
 cost of compliance and implementation of SB 1383, Short-Lived Climate Pollutants for Organic Waste Methane Emissions Reductions, Countywide Organics Reduction and Recycling Ordinance, AB 341 (mandatory commercial recycling), AB 1826 (mandatory organics recycling), and the City’s Single Use Foodware and Litter Reduction and Plastic Bag ordinances;  $990,000 in average annual costs for Transfer Station stormwater repairs and maintenance to reduce trash and pollutants from entering waterways;  cost to develop the recently initiated Zero Waste Strategic Plan and identify new and/or improved programs to achieve Zero Waste; and
 annual paving impact costs of $1-$2 million attributable to collection vehicles impact on the City’s streets. These costs are based on collection vehicles’ weight and loading, which impose a particular, specific, and quantifiable impact on the City’s pavement.

The following costs could not be captured with sufficient precision and are not included in the proposed rate schedules: collection fleet’s electrification and charging infrastructure, and construction costs for the SW&RTS’s replacement.

To fund current operations, including those items discussed above, residential and commercial customer rates need to generate an additional 12%, 9%, 9%, 7%, and 4% over the next five fiscal years, FY 2024 through FY 2028, respectively.

Residential Rates. Figure 1 summarizes the current residential rates by container size and number of subscribers. Residential rates include homes with between one and four units. Existing subscribers to 13-gallon and 45-gallon carts are permitted to continue those subscriptions. However, new subscribers and subscribers seeking a change in their subscription level are not offered these size containers as the manufacturer no longer produces them and they cannot be serviced by ZWD collection vehicles’ automated arms.

Zero Waste Five Year Rate Schedule ACTION CALENDAR
FY 2024/2028 April 25, 2023

Figure 1 Berkeley's Current Residential Rates and Number of Current Subscribers Proposition 218 requires the rates charged to customers not exceed the costs to serve them. The costs to serve customers varies by subscription level. For the 20-gallon and 32-gallon subscription levels, the FY 2024 cost of service is $53.51 and $58.34, respectively, which is 34-96% above the existing rates charged to these subscribers. On the other hand, rates for 64- and 96-gallon subscribers will be reduced in FY 2024 to approximate their cost of service. (Note, this is a change from the rate tables presented at the February 28, 2023 Work Session.) It is not uncommon to see smaller containers facing rate increases. Historically, many communities set rates for the smaller containers at something less than the cost-of-service to incentivize diversion. However, in accordance with Proposition 218, rates are set to cover costs.

To minimize the immediate rate increases of the cost-of-service approach, staff recommends a phased-in approach that limits annual rate increases for monthly service to $6.00. For example, the FY 2024 20-gallon cost-of-service would be $26.21 per month higher than the current rate. Instead of raising the rate all at once, the FY 2024 rate for the 20-gallon service is proposed to increase by $6.00 per month, to $33.30 per month. Figure 2 summarizes the phased-in approach to residential rates across the subscription levels over the next five fiscal years. Zero Waste Fund balance would offset the lower revenues resulting from the phased-in approach.

Figure 2 Residential Proposed Rate Schedule (FY 2024-FY 2028) Approximately 80 percent of residential refuse subscribers use a 32-gallon cart or a 64- gallon cart. Effective July 1, 2023, for 32-gallon cart subscribers, monthly rates would increase from $43.66 monthly to $49.66, or $6.00 per month, which translates to a

13.7% increase. FY 2025-2028 rates for 32-gallon containers would increase $6.00 per month each year. Subscribers with a 64- or 96-gallon cart would see a decrease in their Solid Waste Current

rate on July 1, 2023 to reflect the cost-of-service, with subsequent annual increases of $6.00 per month.

This schedule brings residential rates more in line with the costs of servicing customers at these subscription levels. None of the proposed rate schedules reflect staff’s policy preferences. These proposed rates reflect costs of serving customers’ refuse, recyclables, and compost needs. The only exception is, where significant rate increases were required, staff attempted to moderate these increases over the five-year schedule to lessen the immediate detrimental rate impacts on these customers.

As shown in the tables below, Berkeley’s proposed rate for 32-gallon carts in FY 2024 would be in the mid-range of comparable cities.

Figure 3 Berkeley's 32-Gallon Rate in Comparison to Other Cities The comparison for 64-gallon carts is in Figure 4.

FY 2024/2028 April 25, 2023

Figure 4 Berkeley's 64-Gallon Rate in Comparison to Other Cities Comparing FY 2025-2028 rates with comparable cities is not possible given these cities have not yet set rates for future years.

Service comparisons among cities. In response to Council’s inquiry about services and programs funded by Zero Waste rates in other cities, staff included Attachment 3, Residential Rate and Service Comparison with Other Jurisdictions. Approximately 87% of ZWD’s costs to serve customers includes material collection, processing, marketing, and/or disposal. The remaining 13% includes other costs such as those related to the Clean Cities program (illegal dumping, street sweeping, and other cleanups), and the outreach, education, and implementation of City ordinances and State laws.

Equity. City Council has incorporated equity into Public Works’ services, e.g., BerkDOT, equity zone in the City’s paving plan, and expansion of low-income discount to customers paying sewer fees. In a similar vein, staff recommends City Council make Zero Waste customers eligible for the City’s Very Low Income Refund program. This program provides residents who meet U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s very low income definition a full refund on Berkeley-specific taxes and fees. Given Proposition 218, these refunds must be covered by non-Zero Waste rate revenue, most likely the General Fund. Staff estimate about 100 low-income customers eligible for the Very Low Income Refund program, and the estimated General Fund cost for the refunds would be approximately $100,000. Staff have submitted a midcycle budget request in this amount and are seeking City Council’s amendment of BMC

Commercial Rates. Commercial rates include commercial properties and homes with 5 units or more. Currently, commercial collection costs are allocated to refuse collection carts or containers, green and food waste carts and containers, and recyclables. The cost-of-service analysis found the projected commercial revenue at current rates nearly equal to the FY 2024 costs to provide commercial services. Accordingly, all current commercial rates are proposed to increase only 0.4% for FY 2024.

For FYs 2025-2028, to keep these rates at the cost of service, the proposed rate schedule includes annual revenue increases of 9%, 9%, 7%, and 4%, respectively.

However, the rates to produce this level of revenue vary according to cost of service.

Proposed commercial rates for the most common subscription levels are provided in the table below.

Figure 5 Commercial Proposed Rate Schedule (FY 2024-FY 2028) Other Fees. The rate schedule includes other refuse collection fees, many of which are charges for additional services offered to customers but not required of customers.

Some of the most common fees are for bin cleaning, distance charges, and key charges.

Zero Waste Commission/Proposition 218 Concerns. Public Works briefed the Zero Waste Commission’s subcommittee on staff’s proposed five-year rate schedule on February 9, February 23, and March 10, and the Zero Waste Commission took action at its March 28, 2023 meeting. The Commission’s action (5 ayes with one abstention) did not support the staff recommendation and its advice is reflected at Attachment 4.

The Zero Waste Commission, its subcommittee, and City Council have expressed concern over the tension between Proposition 218’s cost of service approach and the 1 BMC 12.38.090 was adopted by Council. A voter initiative in 1984 subsequently amended sections of the Recycling Policy Ordinance, but left 12.38.090 unchanged. Council is therefore authorized to amend this section. Even if this section could only be amended by the voters, the proposed new language is merely clarifying, rather than changing, the intent of this section. Providing subsidies to low income residents does not contradict the prohibition on using general funds to “implement the provisions of” the Recycling Policy Ordinance; Zero Waste expenses will continue to be allocated from the Zero Waste fund.

City’s policy preference to incentivize subscribers to fewer gallon containers (and less waste). As discussed at the work session, City Council may act to amend its legislative priorities to include a state legislative approach that permits cities more flexibility in addressing this policy tension so that a Zero Waste rate schedule can better encourage recycling and discourage landfilling. The City Council also could deploy non-ratepayer funds, i.e., General Funds, to incentivize 20- and 32-gallon container customers who are effective recyclers and composters (though this would likely require an amendment to BMC 12.38.090). In addition, the Commission, subcommittee and City Council expressed interest in alternatives that might increase recycling and reduce costs. These ideas include customers opting out of collection service or only having garbage collection once every two weeks, elimination of the residential 96-gallon trash cart, and surcharges for customers using 64- and 96-gallon residential carts. The City Council could take action to refer these items for consideration in the development of the recently-initiated Zero Waste Strategic Plan.

BACKGROUND
To assess customers’ views of these collection services, Public Works contracted with a public opinion research firm to conduct a scientific survey in May 2021 of both residential and commercial customers. The survey contacted 520 residential and commercial customers, and the results have a margin of error of 4.9% for residential and 10.4% for commercial. The survey found that:
 residential customers have a high satisfaction with the City’s recycling, composting, and garbage collection services. Customer satisfaction ranged from 84-92%, which was at or above satisfaction levels for comparable utilities. In addition, 70% of residential customers found rates reasonable (10% unreasonable), outpacing other comparable utilities by 6-17%.  commercial customers had positive satisfaction, but were less satisfied with services and rates than residential customers. Between 61-63% of commercial customers were satisfied with services, which is 12% or more below comparable utilities. On the other hand, nearly half of commercial customers found rates reasonable, which was on par with commercial customers’ views of other utilities’ rates.
 customers were very positive about their experiences at the Transfer Station and Berkeley Recycling (85-91% satisfaction).

The City’s progress toward Zero Waste continues to fall short. As shown in Public Works’ Performance and Work Measures at https://berkeleyca.gov/your- government/about-us/departments/public-works, the City’s landfill diversion rate as of 2021 was 74%, which is short of the City’s vision to be a global leader in this regard.

internal systems, staff were unable to compile data on how many customers over the years are migrating from larger container subscriptions to smaller ones.

Figure 6 Landfilled Tonnage 2010-2021
ZWD’s focus on customer service and the Zero Waste goal have been frustrated by a high staff vacancy rate. Public Works’ current vacancy rate stands at 15%. In the past two years, ZWD’s effective vacancy rate climbed on some days to 42%. For ZWD, the vacancy rate has direct impacts on customer service. Fewer staff means drivers are assigned to collect two routes per day (versus one), and are less familiar with the second route, leading to more missed pickups. Persistent vacancies in the Field Representative positions hamper progress towards our Zero Waste goal, as these representatives are the main method for encouraging businesses to improve their recycling and composting.

There are glimmers of hope, however. In the last six months, ZWD’s vacancy rate has reduced to 8%. In addition, Public Works has brought aboard a consultant team to work with City staff, Zero Waste Commission, community, and City Council to develop a Zero Waste Strategic Plan that will set the City’s course for achieving Zero Waste.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND CLIMATE IMPACTS
The proposed rate schedules ensure that the ZWD will generate sufficient revenues to continue to provide services that strive toward the City’s Zero Waste Goal, which is a key component of the 2009 Climate Action Plan; to advance the pre-construction phase of the Solid Waste and Recycling Transfer Station Replacement Project; to comply with various state legislation to improve the commercial sector’s recycling and composting; to implement the City’s Single Use Foodware and Litter Reduction and Plastic Bag ordinances; and deliver these programs with a modernized fleet using computerized financial and routing systems and reasonable replacement schedule for carts/bin and other capital needs. These environmental, sustainable, and climate goals would be compromised by a Zero Waste Fund that is not financially self-sufficient.

FISCAL IMPACTS
Figure 7 below shows the fund impacts should the proposed rates be approved by City Council. Over the five year period, the fund balance is projected to decline from $24.5 million to $3.3 million, less than 30 days of operating expenses. Most of this decline is attributable to the fund balance being used to reduce customers’ rate increases. This approach enables the Zero Waste Fund to replace the division’s computerized management system, properly fund the Zero Waste Division’s vehicle maintenance and replacement, sustain the Clean Cities Unit (street sweeping, illegal dumping, and other cleanups), remedy the damage of ZWD’s vehicles on the City’s pavement, complete the pre-construction phase of the Transfer Station Replacement, and gain the City’s compliance on local and state laws (including SB 1383).

Continuing with existing rates leads to a negative fund balance (dotted blue line) before the end of FY 2024 – 2025.

Figure 7 Zero Waste Fund Balances
Staff estimate the cost to the General Fund for adding Zero Waste customers to the Very Low Income Refund program at approximately $100,000.

Per City Council’s inquiry, Zero Waste funding contributes to the City’s street sweeping program. Citation revenue related to street sweeping parking restrictions is deposited in the General Fund. Citation revenue has ranged from $1.4 million to $1.7 million annually.

ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS CONSIDERED
Staff considered a no action alternative, but that would result in a negative Zero Waste Fund balance within the five-year period of the rate schedule and impede progress toward the City’s Zero Waste goal.

While staff do not recommend this approach, staff have provided an alternate resolution (Attachment 5) in tonight’s packet that, if adopted, would initiate the Proposition 218 procedures on a reduced rate schedule in which vehicle impacts costs are eliminated.

Figure 8 Residential Rates – Remove $7.0 million Paving Costs City Council could delay the rate adjustment, leaving the rates flat for a fourth consecutive fiscal year. This would require the use of more fund balance to cover operations until a new rate schedule was approved, and may require future rate adjustments be larger than the ones suggested in this staff report.

ESTABLISHING FIVE-YEAR RATE SCHEDULES FOR REFUSE, RECYCLING, PLANT DEBRIS AND OTHER SERVICES AND CONFORMING TO ARTICLE XIII D § 6

OF THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION
WHEREAS, in May 20, 2014 City Council Approved a Resolution 66,600 – N. S. for Five- Year Rate Schedules to ensure sufficient revenues are generated to match Zero Waste Division service and program expenses;
WHEREAS, in September 17, 2019, December 7, 2021, and February 28, 2023 work sessions, the City Council provided input to staff with regards to allocation of residential and commercial collection costs and revenues;
WHEREAS, the City has engaged a consultant to evaluate the appropriate allocation of residential and commercial collection costs and revenues, and develop and update a rate model; and
WHEREAS, the City has operated a Very Low Income Refund program for various taxes and fees, but to date low income Zero Waste customers have not been eligible for such a program;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Berkeley that Council directs City staff to initiate the Proposition 218 process for the five year Zero Waste rate schedule and make Zero Waste customers eligible for the Very Low Income Refund program. The following procedures shall be used when increasing a fee or charge or imposing a new fee or charge subject to Article XIIID of the California Constitution:

Section One. Notice: Increase in Existing Fee. Prior to increasing a fee or charge, each parcel upon which the fee or charge is proposed for the increase shall be identified.

The City Clerk shall mail written notice of the revised fees that will be considered to all record owners of identified parcels whose names and addresses appear on the last equalized tax assessment rolls (as provided in Government Code § 53750(j).

Section Two. Notice: Imposing a New Fee. Prior to imposing a new fee or charge, each parcel upon which the new fee or charge is proposed to be imposed shall be identified. The City Clerk shall mail written notice of the public hearing at which the revised fee will be considered to all record owners of identified parcels whose names and addresses appear on the last equalized secured property tax assessment roll (as provided in Government Code § 53750(j)).

Section Three. Protest Procedure.

A. The City Council shall consider all protests submitted in accordance with the requirements of this section. Any owners whose names and addresses appear on the last equalized secured property tax assessment roll, or any tenant of the parcel, may submit a protest against the proposed fee or charge or against the proposed increase in an existing or new fee or charge either at the noticed public hearing or, prior to the public hearing, to the City Clerk, 2180 Milvia Street Berkeley, First Floor, California 94704, by no later than 3:00 p.m. on the date of the public hearing. The protest must be in writing.

Protests submitted by email or facsimile, as well as verbal protests, will not be considered by the City Council to determine whether a majority of the owners of the identified parcels have submitted protests. All members of the public are entitled to make comments at the public hearing whether or not they choose to submit a written protest or own property that would be subject to the increased or new fee or charge.

B. All written protests must be submitted before the conclusion of the noticed public hearing. The City Clerk shall not accept or consider any protest that is received after the conclusion of the public hearing even if postmarked prior to that time.

C. Written protests must identify the affected property (by assessor's parcel number) and must include the original signature of the person submitting the protest. The person signing the protest shall identify themself as the owner of the parcel as shown on the last equalized secured property tax assessment roll, the owner’s authorized representative, or a tenant of the parcel.

D. One written protest per parcel, submitted by the owner of the parcel whose name appears on the last equalized property tax assessment roll, or a tenant of the parcel, shall be counted. If one of the owners of a parcel that is owned by more than one person or entity submits a written protest, or if one of the tenants of a parcel that is occupied by more than one tenant submits a written protest, that protest shall be included in the calculation of whether there is a majority protest against the fee or charge. Under all circumstances, only one protest per parcel shall be counted.

1. Cooperatives
When property is owned by a cooperative, the cooperative as a single entity may return the written protest, or individual residents may submit a protest. Only one protest per parcel shall be counted. Common areas (including parking spaces) do not count as separate parcels. Whether or not a cooperative protests or casts a ballot is determined by the cooperative’s bylaws.

2. Replacement Protests
A property owner may request a replacement protest form be issued. Alternately, a property owner may submit, in writing, a protest not issued by the City, provided that it contains the information required in Section 3(C) above. Requests for replacement

protests must be made in writing (e-mail is permitted) and must contain the property owner’s name and the property address.

E. Any person who signs a written protest may withdraw it by submitting a written request that the protest be withdrawn in person at the public hearing or to the City Clerk at 2180 Milvia Street, First Floor, Berkeley, California 94704, by no later than 3:00 p.m. on the date of the public hearing. The written withdrawal of a protest shall identify the parcel and the name of the owner whose name appears on the last equalized secured property tax assessment roll, or the name of the tenant who submitted the protest, and include a request that the protest be withdrawn. The withdrawal of a protest shall only be valid if it is submitted by the same person who submitted the protest. A person who withdraws a protest in person at the public hearing shall provide evidence that they are the person listed on the last equalized secured property tax assessment roll for the affected property, or a tenant of that property.

F. Written protests shall remain sealed until the conclusion of the public hearing.

From and after the time they are opened after the conclusion of the public hearing, the written protests shall constitute "public records" (as defined in Government Code § 6254).

The City Clerk shall establish appropriate safeguards to ensure that the protests are not opened prior to the conclusion of the public hearing.

G. Failure of any person to receive a protest form shall not invalidate the proceedings.

H. If a protest is lost, withdrawn, destroyed or never received, the City will mail or otherwise provide a replacement protest to the owner upon receipt of a written request delivered to the City Clerk. The replacement protest will be marked to identify it as a replacement protest. Any request for a replacement protest to be mailed to another location must include evidence, satisfactory to the City, of the identity of the person requesting the protest. The same procedure applies to replacement protests which are lost, withdrawn, destroyed, or never received. A person who withdraws a protest, or requests a replacement protest in person at the public hearing shall provide evidence that they are the owner or tenant of the effected property and, in the case of a request to withdraw a protest, that they are the person who submitted the protest to be withdrawn.

I. If a protest is returned by the United States Post Office as undeliverable, the City may mail a redelivered protest to the current property owner, if updated ownership or owner mailing address can be determined. The redelivered protest will be marked to identify it as a redelivered protest.

Section Four. Tabulation of Written Protests. The following procedures are hereby adopted for calculating whether a majority protest against the increase or new fee or charge has been received:

A. The City Clerk shall determine the validity of all protests. The City Clerk shall not accept as valid any protest if the City Clerk determines that any of the following:
i. The protest does not identify a parcel which receives the property-related service for which the fee or charge is imposed.
ii. The protest does not bear an original signature of the person submitting the protest.
iii. The protest does not state its opposition to the proposed fee that is the subject of the protest proceeding.
iv. The protest was not received by the City Clerk before the close of the public hearing on the proposed fee.
v. A request to withdraw the protest is received prior to the close of the public hearing on the proposed fee.

B. The City Clerk's decision regarding the validity of protest shall constitute a final action of the City and shall not be subject to appeal to the City Council or to any other board or employee of the City.

C. In the event of a dispute regarding whether the signer of a protest is the owner or tenant of the parcel to which the protest applies, the City will make such determination from the official County Assessor records and any evidence of ownership or tenancy submitted to the City prior to the conclusion of the protest period. The City will be under no duty to obtain or consider any other evidence as to ownership or tenancy of property and its determination of ownership or tenancy will be final and conclusive.

D. In the event of a dispute regarding whether the signer of a protest is an authorized representative of the owner of the parcel, the City may rely on the statement on the protest signed under penalty of perjury that the person completing the protest is the owner's authorized representative, and any evidence submitted to the City prior to the conclusion of the protest period. The City will be under no duty to obtain or consider any other evidence as to whether the signer of the protest is an authorized representative of the owner and its determination will be final and conclusive.

E. The City Clerk shall begin tabulating written protests immediately following the close of the public hearing. The City Manager may retain a private firm with demonstrated experience in tabulating written protests to assist the City Clerk. If, at the conclusion of the public hearing, cursory review of the protests received demonstrates that the number received is manifestly less than one-half of the parcels served by the City with respect to the increase or new fee or charge which is the subject of the protest, then the City Clerk may advise the City Council of the absence of a majority protest without tabulating the protests.

F. The City Council may, if necessary, continue the tabulation to a different time or location accessible to the public, provided it announces the time and location at the hearing.

G. If written protests against the proposed new fee or charge, or against the proposed increase in an existing fee or charge, are presented by a majority of the owners of the identified parcels, the City Council shall not impose the fee or charge.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this activity is not a project and therefore is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15060(c)(3) and that the City Council will hold a ballot tabulation and Public Hearing at least forty-five (45) days from the mailing out of written notice.

WHEREAS, the City is required by law, and in the interest of public health and resource conservation, to provide comprehensive waste management services to the public; and WHEREAS, the Zero Waste (previously called the Refuse) Fund is an enterprise fund for solid waste management (refuse, recycling and organic) programs and services, and must generate revenue to meet its expenses; and
WHEREAS, on April 25, 2023, the City Council set a public hearing on June 27, 2023, to consider protests and increase residential and commercial refuse, recycling, and organic collection rates if there is no majority protest; and
WHEREAS, the City mailed written protest forms to all record owners of identified parcels whose names and addresses appear on the last equalized secured property tax assessment roll in compliance with the required Proposition 218 majority protest process to increase residential and commercial refuse, recycling, and organics collection rates; and WHEREAS, the notice mailed established that all written ballots must be submitted before the noticed public hearing is closed by a vote of the Council. The City Clerk shall not accept or consider any ballot that is received after the public hearing is closed even if postmarked prior to that time. The City Clerk, or deputy, shall begin tabulating written protests immediately following the close of the public hearing. If, at the conclusion of the public hearing, cursory review of the protests received demonstrates that the number of protests is manifestly less than one-half of the ballots mailed, then the City Clerk may advise the City Council of the absence of a majority protest without tabulating the protests.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Berkeley as follows:

Section 1. Pursuant to Section 12.32.050 of the Berkeley Municipal Code, refuse, recycling and organic (previously termed garbage only) collection service is provided by the City, and all owners of premises and places in the City in or from which refuse, recyclables and organic materials are created, accumulated or produced shall use or cause to be used, and pay the fees charged for the City's collection service; and the City Council adopts the service provisions, charges, and fees set forth below.

Attachment 4 - Zero Waste Commission Recommendation
Staff’s five-year, approximately quarter-billion dollar proposal does not appear to us to reflect the public’s best interests. It erodes existing resource conservation incentives and social equity. We suggest that Council direct staff to take the time necessary to develop a more customer-focused proposal (see below). The proposal needs more work before it will be ready for a thumbs-up or thumbs-down vote by the City’s customers.

The rate proposal should optimize waste collection efficiency while rewarding resource conservation and preserving a modicum of social equity in the rate structure. Currently, it does none of these well.

One example: The current proposal calls for a $360/year increase in cost for over 10,000 households; Council and customers deserve to presented with various rate schedule options that reduce this major cost increase.

We recommend that Council should direct staff to develop rate schedules now for the following three reasonable approaches:
 Use of a 32-gallon residential trash cart as the standard, with optional additional service (priced according to the current per-gallon rate formula) for larger or additional 32-gallon trash carts.  Every-other-week collection of residential trash (and potentially recycling), with compostables collected weekly. Should law-abiding residents who properly keep compostables separate from the trash be forced by the City to pay perhaps double for unneeded weekly trash collection? Or, could neighbors share collection containers and thus pay less?  Zone-based residential rates that reflect differentials in the cost-of-service between zones.

The City’s rate consultant can and should develop these rate schedules now. However, if the City decides to align the rate-setting process with adoption of a zero waste strategic plan that will be completed next year, then the City should consider only the first two years of this or a modified rate proposal, in the interim.

SETTING RATES FOR RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL REFUSE COLLECTION AND RESCINDING RESOLUTION NO. XX,XXX - N.S.

WHEREAS, the City is required by law, and in the interest of public health and resource conservation, to provide comprehensive waste management services to the public; and WHEREAS, the Zero Waste (previously called the Refuse) Fund is an enterprise fund for solid waste management (refuse, recycling and organic) programs and services, and must generate revenue to meet its expenses; and
WHEREAS, on April 25, 2023, the City Council set a public hearing on June 27, 2023, to consider protests and increase residential and commercial refuse, recycling, and organic collection rates if there is no majority protest; and
WHEREAS, the City mailed written protest forms to all record owners of identified parcels whose names and addresses appear on the last equalized secured property tax assessment roll in compliance with the required Proposition 218 majority protest process to increase residential and commercial refuse, recycling, and organics collection rates; and WHEREAS, the notice mailed established that all written ballots must be submitted before the noticed public hearing is closed by a vote of the Council. The City Clerk shall not accept or consider any ballot that is received after the public hearing is closed even if postmarked prior to that time. The City Clerk, or deputy, shall begin tabulating written protests immediately following the close of the public hearing. If, at the conclusion of the public hearing, cursory review of the protests received demonstrates that the number of protests is manifestly less than one-half of the ballots mailed, then the City Clerk may advise the City Council of the absence of a majority protest without tabulating the protests.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Berkeley as follows:

Section 1. Pursuant to Section 12.32.050 of the Berkeley Municipal Code, refuse, recycling and organic (previously termed garbage only) collection service is provided by the City, and all owners of premises and places in the City in or from which refuse, recyclables and organic materials are created, accumulated or produced shall use or cause to be used, and pay the fees charged for the City's collection service; and the City Council adopts the service provisions, charges, and fees set forth below.
