Staff seeks comments, questions, and recommendations from the Council regarding the development of the Town of Colma’s first Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. This is a study session; no action will be taken at this meeting.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this study session is to provide the Council with an update of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan planning project application.

FISCAL IMPACT
The total project cost is not to exceed $100,000 and is being funded with (90%) Transportation Development Act Article 3 and (10%) local funds. The funds for this project are as follows.

GROUND
On November 15, 2022, The Town of Colma (Town) responded to the City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo’s Transportation Development Act (TDA): Article 3 Pedestrian and Bicycle Program Call for Projects through a project planning application. The application included a funding request of $90,000 for the development of its first Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.

Item #7
Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Page 2 of 3
Upon approval, the Town’s staff and consultant kicked off the project in Winter 2022. The initial phases of the project included data collection and followed with public outreach and awareness.

The data collection began with the review of background documents pertaining to bicycle and pedestrian plans in and around Colma. Staff reviewed regional and local planning documents such as Colma General Plan, California Transportation Plan 2040, and Active South San Francisco.

Collectively these plans will provide the foundation for the Final Plan.

Following the data collection phase, the team began outreaching to the public. The public outreach commenced with a web-based survey made available via mentimeter.com and a quick response (QR) code which launched March 1, 2023, and was made available through April 26, 2023. The survey was shared through social media, Livewire, email blast to stakeholders and business owners and flyers that were distributed to local stakeholders and at the subsequent public meetings.

The public outreach meetings included a Coffee with the Community at the local Starbucks, a Pop-Up event at the Colma BART Station, and staff’s participation at the Veteran’s Village pancake breakfast. The in -person events gave residents and Colma neighbors the opportunity to have one-on-one discussions with City staff and provide recommendations based on their personal experience walking and biking through Colma. As the public outreach phase is being completed, the project team is preparing the draft documents for public review.

The project will be completed in Summer 2023. The timeline for the project is as follows.

III. Project Description

a. Describe the project elements.

Colma's commercial centers and the auto dealerships lining Serramonte Boulevard represent significant regional trip generators due to the employees and shoppers that they draw. These trip-generating land uses are disconnected from nearby high-quality transit lines, including two BART stations and the SamTrans ECR bus route (See Appendix A enclosed). In addition, Colma has made progress on adding bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure on Hillside Boulevard and Mission Road, but the mobility element in the draft general plan identifies gaps that prevent Colma's active transportation system from functioning as a cohesive network.

The Colma Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan (Plan) will provide guidelines and directives for a comprehensive bicycle and pedestrian safety program. The Plan will include an existing conditions report (See photos in Appendix B enclosed); an analysis of Colma's active transportation needs and priorities; a proposed bike and pedestrian network that builds on and connects existing plans and projects; and a prioritized list of implementation actions, policies, and potential funding sources.

The Plan will address active transportation connectivity issues with four key project components.

1. The existing conditions report will compile existing data on local, regional, and state plans, as well as prior outreach efforts and existing datasets, programs, and initiatives.

2. The Needs and Priorities section will identify specific improvements needed.

3. The Proposed Network will envision a town-wide network of multi-modal transportation infrastructure that will address the needs of people who live or work in Colma.

4. The Implementation section will identify tasks and budget for making progress toward the active transportation network outlined in the Plan.

The Colma Master Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan is a key step toward realizing a connected, safe, effective active transportation system in the Town of Colma.

The Vision for the Colma Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan is to help make the Town of Colma a place where bicycling and walking are safe, comfortable, and convenient forms of transportation and recreation for people of all ages and abilities.

The Plan will identify severely needed improvements for bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

Adding and increasing bike and pedestrian activity will meet the State's GHG reduction goals and improve mobility through the corridor and connect people to commercial areas, businesses, homes, schools, and transit hubs.

The Plan will also promote social equity by its extensive outreach program to various communities which will provide relieve to those with special needs and those with low- income that depend on viable transportation option.

The Objective of the Plan is to improve bike and pedestrian safety and connectivity for residents of nearby homes, business patrons and transit users, install accessible sidewalks to close existing pedestrian route gaps, replace existing ramps and driveways with ADA- compliant improvements, add bicycle lanes and the associated safety signage and pavement markings and install high visibility crosswalks at intersections and mid-block crossings, if required or needed.

The planning processes will be integrated with Complete Streets for Multimodal transportation networks, emphasizing safe and accessible bicycle and pedestrian travel.

The benefits of Complete Streets program include Safety; Health; Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction; supports Economic Development and Cost Savings.

The Town will review background documents, including local, regional, state and national documents, pertaining to bicycle and pedestrian plans. Such documents include, but are not limited to, the California Transportation Plan (2040), California State Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan, Caltrans District 4 Bicycle Plan, San Mateo County Comprehensive Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan (2011), Colma General Plan – Circulation Element (2014), the Grand Boulevard Initiative Quick-build projects (see Appendix F), and the Town’s Complete Streets Policies. In addition, the Town will Review and analyze the recent traffic data collected for bicycles and pedestrians, inventory and evaluate existing bicycle and pedestrian facilities, nearby homes, and significant public, business and transit facilities.

C/CAG TDA Article 3 FY 22/23 Planning Project Application

The public outreach efforts that are programed into the Plan will gather input from all segments of the community, including disadvantages communities and organization that represent those with special needs, in addition to active stakeholders, local business owners, and the transit districts, through a number of interactive community workshops and council meetings which will lead the planning process.

All meetings will be publicly announced to ensure maximum attendance, through flyers, website, social media, and promotional materials that staff may use to advertise the project and the opportunities for public engagement.

The Colma Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan will take place during the FY 2022/2023 and complete before June 30, 2025.

Executive Director
City / County Association of Governments
555 County Center, 5th Floor
Redwood City, CA 94063

Dear Mr. Charpentier,

On behalf of Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition (SVBC), a nonprofit creating a healthy community, environment, and economy through bicycling, we are writing express our strong support for the Town of Colma’s Transportation Development Act, Article 3 Grant Application for the Colma Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.

We understand that the Colma Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan would create a vision for a safe, connected, effective active transportation network in the Town of Colma.

Colma contains several major employment centers and two major thoroughfares, each with significant gaps in bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. A Master Plan for Bicycle and Pedestrian Infrastructure in Colma would benefit the greater San Mateo County active transportation system.

Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition partnered with the Town of Colma on its outreach for the El Camino Real Bicycle and Pedestrian plan in Fall of 2019 and Spring of 2020. This plan brought together all of the key stakeholders along El Camino Real—including Caltrans, the Cemeteries, and Colma residents and workers—to come up with a vision for improving bicycle and pedestrian safety on El Camino Real. The Colma Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan will build on that critical project to leverage the planned changes on El Camino Real into a town-wide network of safe, connected, effective active transportation infrastructure.

Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition extends our enthusiastic support for Colma’s TDA3 grant application and for the Colma Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.

Sincerely,

Shiloh Ballard

RE: Letter of Support for the Colma Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan

Dear Mr. Donohue,

Mercy Housing California strongly supports the Town of Colma’s request for a grant to take a city-wide lens on bicycle and pedestrian planning in the Town of Colma. Mercy Housing California is a California-based nonprofit whose mission is to create and strengthen healthy communities through the provision of quality, affordable, service- enriched housing. Mercy Housing has over 10,000 units in over 150 affordable rental properties in California, serving over 23,000 residents in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Mercy recently completed 66 units of housing for military veterans experiencing homelessness, many of whom are disabled, in the Town of Colma, located on Mission Road near the intersection of El Camino Real. Colma Veterans Village includes 66 secure, indoor, bicycle parking spaces for all residents living in the building.

We strongly support this project’s focus on safety, accessibility, and sustainability for pedestrians and bicyclists, and hope that this planning effort will develop a vision for a safer, more efficient, more connected active transportation system in Colma.

Sincerely

Michael Kaplan

| Colma El Camino Real Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Plan 29 |
The Colma El Camino Real Bicycle and
Pedestrian Plan is a collaborative planning
effort to produce an actionable, community-
based design . The goal is to create a corridor
that welcomes and serves the people who
live, work, and travel along it . The pr oject
team employed a variety of tools, venues
and platforms to facilitate education and
information-sharing, gather input, and
publicize the planning effort throughout the
study process .

Community Engagement Phases
Community engagement occurred in three
phases, paralleling the development of
the study . In Phase 1, lar ge-format maps
allowed participants to explore the study
area, describe their experiences, and
identify issues and possible solutions at a
zoomed-in scale . In Phase 2, participants
used storyboards to comment on and vote
for alternative cross sections . In Phase 3,
the community experienced the preferred
alternative by navigating through a full-scale
design of the corridor and 3D renderings on
the project website
ColmaElCaminoReal .Org
Phase 1 (August-September 2019): Introduce the project, gather input on relative importance of the project goals, and gather input on current constraints and opportunities along the corridor .

Phase 2 (February-March 2020): Present cross section alternatives, gather input on the design elements, and determine stakeholders’ preferred alternative .

Phase 3 (October 2020): Present preferred alternative design concept, demonstrate key design features at full-scale, and collect feedback on the preferred alternative design .

Town of Colma |
Community Engagement | 30
Engagement Tools
The community engagement process was designed to achieve a community-driven vision for El Camino Real . For each phase, the project team engaged with the community through a series of resident-focused and business-focused activites, as well as through organized meetings with a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), Caltrans and City Council . The project team combined traditional community meetings (e .g ., Town Hall meetings and open houses) and non-traditional events (e .g ., pop-ups at Colma BART station) to encourage broad participation from residents, employees, business owners, visitors, and others . Online tools (e .g . project website, email, Livewire, social media) were another important feature of the engagement strategy, and these proved especially effective under the shelter-in-place requirements of the COVD-19 pandemic .

The Effect of COVID-19 on Community Engagement
Unexpectedly, in March 2019, the spread of COVID-19 led to a shelter-in-place order that impacted the last two phases of community engagement . The pr oject team adapted and found creative ways to continue engaging the community, despite the physical distancing requirements . The team focused on online engagement through the project website, changed to emailed outreach instead of flyers and pop-up events, and hosted online meetings to answer questions from the community . The pr oject team built a stronger online presence with more interactive tools, including videos and 3D images, so that people could experience the space virtually .

How We Reached the Community and
Stakeholders

• Community engagement events
• Four community meetings
• Two pop-up events
• Online engagement

• Three TAC meetings

• One Caltrans meeting and
continuous coordination

• Three City Council meetings
During Outreach we...
received over 300 comments and reached an estimated
650 people based on views of the online engagement and
people talked to in person.

Community Engagement Events

COMMUNITY MEETINGS
The project team hosted four community meetings, including two public meetings, one open house, and one virtual open house during the COVID-19 pandemic . The public meetings started with a presentation from the project team, followed by a discussion with the community to gather their thoughts and perspectives, and ended with an opportunity for the community to vote on preferred options and provide additional written comments . Open houses followed a looser structure, allowing community members to review project information at their own speed, while the project team served as a resource to answer questions . Similar to at the public meetings, community members could provide written feedback and vote on their preferred approach through the project website
(ColmaElCaminoReal .Org) .

POP-UP EVENTS
The project team set up “pop-up” booths at
the Colma BART station to raise awareness
about the Plan and get additional feedback
from people who may not attend traditional
meetings or open houses . “Pop-up”
events allowed the outreach team to meet
community members at a place and time that
was convenient and comfortable for them .

ONLINE ENGAGEMENT
The project website enabled communication
between the community and the project team
throughout the Plan development process .

The website provided general information
about the project, presented the latest
information about the Plan, and included
an open comment form to provide feedback
and contact the team at any time . For each
phase of community engagement, community
members could go the website and access an
online survey that mimicked the materials
used for the in-person community meetings
and pop-up events, bringing the in-person
experience online . The online tools were
particularly instrumental during Phase 3, when
shelter-in-place restrictions precluded in-
person engagement .

Overall, over 450 people visited the website
and over 130 comments were collected
through the website .

The fact that the conversations happened
adjacent to the study corridor helped facilitate
conversation and prompt ideas . At the “pop-
up” events, participants identified issues and
opportunity areas on maps, identified the
types of improvements they wanted to see
installed throughout the corridor, and shared
their reactions to the draft design alternatives .

Approximately 220 people were reached
through the pop-up events .

Caltrans Coordination
As a state-owned facility, improvements on El Camino Real will require final approval from Caltrans . Caltrans was a critical partner throughout the Plan development process, attending every TAC meeting and providing input on the cross-section alternatives and final concept design . Caltrans hosted a design review meeting on August 11, 2020 with key reviewers from the agency to discuss the consistency of the corridor concept design with agency goals and general design guidelines, as well as necessary next steps prior to implementation .

City Council
City Council members played an important role in the Plan development process, serving as decision-makers representing the interests of the Colma community . The pr oject team presented to the City Council three times throughout the project to update Council members on the Plan progress and community input, as well as to hear Council members’ comments, concerns, and preferences so they could be incorporated .

Systemic Safety Analysis Report (SSAR)
Project Summary

Page | E-1

COLMA TRANSPORTATION SAFETY ANALYSIS ACTION PLAN
The Town of Colma commissioned a Systemic Safety Analysis Report (SSAR) study funded by a Caltrans SSAR Program to enhance road safety for all modes of transportation (vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians). The project involves a systemic safety analysis study for several major arterials and collectors within the Town’s roadway network. These corridors include El Camino Real (State Route 82), Junipero Serra Boulevard, Hillside Boulevard, Serramonte Boulevard, Mission Road, Collins Avenue, Colma Boulevard, Lawndale Boulevard and F Street, as shown in Figure (1) below.

The SSAR study identifies and prioritizes safety improvement projects that are eligible for Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funds and other safety funding programs for implementation. The final work product of the SSAR is Colma Transportation Safety Action Plan. This plan will identify traffic, pedestrian and bicycle safety issues and concerns, include systemic treatments, capital projects, and non-engineering strategies that will help to reduce crashes and improve multimodal safety throughout the Town. The project was completed in January 2019.

The Study involved the assessment of the existing road conditions, traffic count, evaluation of crash data for the most recent six years (2011-2016) available from the California Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) database, Berkeley Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS) database and Town’s Records Management System. The Study also completed data analysis and identified the dominant crash patterns and trends; risk factors associated with those patterns and trends; and priority locations.

Based on the crash data analysis, by severity and road user type involved, pedestrians were involved in 4% of reported crashes, and bicyclists were involved in 3% of reported crashed as per Table 1 below.

Severity is classified as fatal, injury and property damage only (PDO).

Page | E-2

The severity of the reported crashes were also identified by corridor. Figure 2 below presents corridor findings by Crash Severity. The highest crash frequencies were reported on the following three corridors among the nine corridors of the study area:
➢ Junipero Serra Boulevard – 33 reported crashes (27% of total); ➢ Serramonte Boulevard – 23 reported crashes (19% of total); and ➢ El Camino Real – 22 reports crashed (18% of total).

The crash data were also analyzed by primary contributing factors, and summarized in Table 2 below. 2 2
Page | E-3

Based on the crash data analysis findings and top-priority locations, the study identified potential roadway segments and intersections that are candidates for improvements. The following roadway segments and intersections have been identified among top-priority locations:

Segments
➢ Hillside Boulevard, Serramonte Boulevard to Sand Hill Road; ➢ El Camino Real, northern town limits to Colma Boulevard; ➢ Colma Boulevard, Junipero Serra Boulevard to El Camino Real; ➢ Serramonte Boulevard, Junipero Serra Boulevard to Hillside Boulevard; ➢ Collins Avenue, Serramonte Boulevard to the Serramotne Ford Body Shop; and ➢ Junipero Serra Boulevard, northern town limits to Colma Boulevard.

Intersections
➢ Junipero Serra Boulevard & Serra Center Entrance (North); ➢ El Camino Real & Collins Avenue;
➢ El Camino Real & Mission Road;
➢ El Camino Real & F Street;
➢ Junipero Serra Boulevard & Serra Center (South); and
➢ Serramonte Boulevard & Junipero Serra Boulevard.

The Study recommends implementation of various countermeasures to improve roadway safety performance. The systemic treatments for El Camino Real propose to install sidewalks where sidewalk facilities are not present, install bicycle lanes on both sides of ECR, enhance pedestrian crossings at several uncontrolled, marked crosswalks that access multilane high-speed State Route 82, in addition to some other systemic treatments to improve safety for pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists.

Both Figures 3 & 4 below show the proposed systemic treatments at unsignalized intersections and segments on El Camino Real and other roadway networks in Colma.

14 The implementation of improvements along El
Camino Real may look different for different cities.

In some cases, portions of the project may be
implemented over time, as funds and resources
are available. Strategies for phased
implementation may include coordinating with
future resurfacing projects, development projects,
or using cost-effective materials to get the project
off the ground sooner. Defined as “quick-build”
improvements, the latter are increasingly
sophisticated and aesthetically-pleasing
treatments that provide flexibility in
implementation. Using quick-build treatments can
also serve to install a pilot program, a strategy that
allows the community to experience the
functionality of the project and modify the design
before upgrading to more fixed materials such as
concrete curb. Four quick-build tools are provided
below that can be used in the near-term to put
improvements on the ground quickly and cost-
effectively.

In many locations, bulb outs are recommended to
reduce crossing distances for pedestrians. Many
cities have used painted bulb outs with raised
elements such as delineator or landscape planters
to define bulb outs without changing drainage
patterns and without the added cost of concrete.

Bus stops can also have similar temporary
treatments. These can be thought of in the same
vein as parklet spaces and can be used to enhance
public space and engage local architects and
artists. There are also prefabricated bus boarding
islands on the market that cities can use to
improve bus stops in the near-term. Oakland, Los
Angeles, and New York City have experimented
with prefabricated bus boarding islands.

Above Top: The City of Fremont has used a combination
of painted bulb outs with self-watering landscape
planters to achieve this effect. Above: Prefabricated
boarding islands or parklet-style boarding islands can be used to extend the sidewalk and allow buses to stop in
line to improve transit reliability.

15 Many cities in the Bay Area, including San José,
have had success with quick implementation of
separated bikeways using painted buffer spaces
and delineators or similar raised elements
commonly made of plastic. The aesthetics of
delineators have improved recently, and there are
newer products on the market the City of San José
could consider such as shorter, sturdier posts, and
armadillos, which are recycled plastic dividers with
a lower profile than posts.

Left: “Paint and plastic”
separated bikeways can include
various products to provide
separation between the bicycle
lane and traffic, including
planters and small plastic lumps
(sometimes known as “zebras” or
“armadillos”).

16 Many cities have successful programs that
improve safety by repurposing excess roadway
space at skewed intersections with public spaces.

These are often successful where foot traffic
supports the creation of public space, such as in
business districts. They can provide a distinctive
look and feel congruent with the local
neighborhood character, and are an opportunity
to engage with local community-based
organizations and artist groups. Maintenance of
these spaces is an important consideration and
could be an opportunity for a public-
private partnership.

Above: An example of repurposing to remove a skewed intersection (and a redundant link in the roadway network) on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. The resulting space now supports the Silver Lake Farmers Market and increases foot traffic in front of small businesses.

1 INTRODUCTION, VISION, AND GOALS

1.1 Goals
Encouraging bicycling and walking in the Town of Colma (“Town”) promotes healthy lifestyles, reduces traffic congestion, improves air quality, and provides greater connectivity to major destinations and transit facilities and better opportunities to socialize in public spaces.

The Town Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan 2023 (“the Plan”) is primarily a coordinating and resource document.

The Plan focuses on developing a safe network of bikeways and walkways, identifying roadway improvements, and documenting programs and policies that will support the Town’s goal of becoming a more bicycle- and pedestrian- friendly community. The development of this Plan will ensure consistency with the California Active Transportation Program (ATP) and aid the Town’s efforts to pursue outside funding for bicycle and pedestrian projects. The purpose of the Plan is to encourage an increased use of active modes of transportation, such as biking and walking by achieving the following goals:
▪ Increase the proportion of trips accomplished by biking and walking. ▪ Improve safety and mobility of non-motorized users.
▪ Advance the active transportation efforts of the Town and regional agencies to achieve greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction.
▪ To promote bicycling and walking as healthy and sustainable modes of transportation. ▪ Ensure that disadvantaged communities (DAC) fully share in the benefits of the program. ▪ To connect bicycling and walking facilities throughout the Town. ▪ Provide a broad spectrum of projects to benefit many types of active transportation users.

The Plan was developed in collaboration with the community and includes input from a variety of stakeholders, including residents, businesses, and regional transportation agencies. At a local level, the Plan complements and supports existing plans and policies. At a regional l evel, this plan incorporates state and regional policies that help meet the overarching goal of increasing walking and bicycling throughout California by preserving the active transportation system and reducing the number of accidents and fatalities amongst bicyclist and pedestrians.

The Plan is a living document that will be updated as needed to reflect changes in the community and the needs of bicyclists and pedestrians. The Town is committed to implementing the Plan and making the Town a more bicycle- and pedestrian-friendly community. For continued updates on the Plan progress towards implementation of this plan, visit: https://www.colma.ca.gov/bike-and-pedestrian-master-plan/.

All recommended improvement projects and implementation measures may need additional technical analysis, environmental study, and targeted outreach before implementation.

1.2 Benefits of Walking and Bicycling
Bicycling and walking (and any form of active transportation) provides multiple benefits to the individual and their community as summarized here. According to the World Resources Institute (2021),1 “high rates of active mobility lead to greater connectivity, reduced traffic and parking congestion, more reliable travel times and increased public transit ridership.”

ENVIRONMENTAL BEN EFITS
Traditional, car-centric transportation planning has increased GHG emissions and impacted air quality, road injuries and fatalities, and traffic congestion. Active transportation, such as walking and bicycling, is the lowest -carbon mode of transport ation. It is also one of the most powerful changes communities can make to achieve their sustainability, economic, and social goals. Prioritizing pedestrians and cyclists over motor vehicles and ensuring the safety of all road users is best achieved by i nvesting in active mobility infrastructure and initiatives. However, walking and cycling remain grossly underfunded, while car -centered planning and design continue to dominate.

Active travel can help reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) and GHG emissions to achieve global targets. Per the 2030 Town of Colma Climate Action Plan Update, the Town’s transportation emissions accounted for approximately 74% of total GHG emissions in Colma as of 2017. Travel on local roads accounted for 55% of transportation emissions. Shifting to walking and cycling can reduce GHG emissions and is the most efficient way to decarbonize transportation (World Resources Institute 2021).

COMMUNITY AND PUBLIC HEALTH BENEFITS
Increased sense of community: Biking and walking can help to increase social interaction and a sense of community.

This can be beneficial for both physical and mental health. Traveling by foot or bike can improve equity, social cohesion, perceptions of security and livability. Many low-income populations also live with little transportation access or unsafe and inconvenient routes to their destinations. Constructing safe active travel networks can improve access to opportunities and services for these disadvantaged groups. People’s physical, mental, social and economic health benefits from the ability to walk or bike in safe environments (World Resources Institute 2021). ▪ Traveling by foot or bike can improve equity, social cohesion, perceptions of security, and livability. - Equity: By making transportation more accessible and affordable, people from all walks of life can participate in their communities and reach their destinations safely and easily. - Social cohesion: When people can get around their communities on foot or bik e, they have more opportunities to interact with their neighbors and build stronger relationships. - Perceptions of security: When people feel safe walking or biking in their communities, they are more likely to get out and about, which can lead to a more vibrant and livable community. ▪ Many low-income populations also live with little transportation access or unsafe and inconvenient routes to their destinations.
- Transportation access: Many low -income people do not have access to a car or reliable public transportation, which can make it difficult to get to work, school, or other essential services. - Unsafe and inconvenient routes: Even when low-income people do have access to transportation, they may have to travel long distances or take unsafe routes to get to their destinations.

▪ Constructing safe active travel networks can improve access to opportunities and services for these disadvantaged groups.
- Active transportation networks: Safe active travel networks include sidewalks, bike paths, and other infrastructure that make it easy and safe for people to walk or bike. - Opportunities and services: By improving access to opportunities and services, safe active transportation networks can help to break the cycle of poverty and improve the quality of life for low-income people. ▪ Physical, mental, social, and economic health benefits from the ability to walk or bike in safe environments. - Physical health: Walking and biking are great forms of exercise that can help people stay healthy and reduce their risk of chronic diseases.
- Mental health: Walking and biking can also improve mental health by reducing stress and anxiety and promoting feelings of well-being.
- Social health: Walking and biking can help people connect with their community and build relationships with their neighbors.
- Economic health: Walking and biking can save people money on transportation costs and improve their productivity at work.

Improved economic development: Safe active travel networks can help to improve economic development by making it easier for people to get around and attracting businesses to the area. According to the World Resources Institute (2021), cities and towns have observed boosts to their economy upon improving pedestrian and bicycling infrastructure, “...such as increased sales, commer cial rent and job creation.” A study conducted by Political Economy Research Institute (2010), “estimated that 11 to 14 jobs are created per $one million invested in cycling and walking projects compared to the seven jobs created when investing in highways.” Public Health Benefits: Safe walking and bicycling infrastructure have positive impacts on public health. For example, the World Health Organization (WHO) found that increasing sustainable mobility could reduce pre-mature deaths with improvements to air quality and increased physical activity and saving of health care costs.

According to the United States (US) Department of Transportation (DOT), one-fourth (¼) of adults reported that they do not engage in any physical activity outside of their job, which can be a contributing factor to the two thirds (2/3) of adults who are overweight in the US. Studies show that exercise by walking and biking can help increase blood flow, release endorphins to reduce stress, and can reduce the risk of heart and circulatory disease by as much as 30%. Biking and walking are great forms of exercise that can lead to a reduction in obesity, heart disease, stroke, and other chronic diseases. Biking and walking can also have a positive impact on mental health by reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. They can also improve mood, self-esteem, and overall well-being.

1.3 Desired Plan Outcomes
The Town of Colma Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan 2023 is the first of its kind for the Town. Over the past 10 years, several plans and policy documents have been developed in specific areas of the Town. However, none of these plans have brought together all the recommendations, policies, and ideas for safe active transportation networks in the Town.

This Plan is a compilation of existing (adopted) documents from the Town and regional partners, and feedback gathered through public outreach. By bringing together all these resources, the Town is better positioned to leverage federal, state, and local funds to provide a connected, safe, and effective active transportation system.

Section 2.2 of the Plan provides a summary of the documents used to formulate this Plan. Section 6 of the Plan includes a link to easily access the full documents and resources referenced in the summary.

2 CONTEXT AND EXISTING CONDITIONS
The Town is the smallest city in San Mateo County, in size and population, being only 1.98 square miles with 1,492 residents. The Town is bordered by Daly City to the north and west, the City of South San Francisco (South City) to the south, and San Bruno Mountains to the east, (Figure 1, Town of Colma San Francisco Peninsula).

Residential land uses make up approximately 2% of the land use in the Town , with single-family residential uses located in the in the Sterling Park neighborhood and along Hillside Boulevard, and residential medium density uses along Mission Road.

The Town’s primary land use is cemeteries (76%) holding 1.5 million people buried in its 17 cemeteries. In addition to providing cemetery and ancillary uses for the San Mateo County region , the Town provides key commercial corridors (I.e., El Camino Real, Serramonte Boulevard, Junipero Serra Boulevard) to major destinations including commercial shopping and auto-dealerships). Together these commercial uses make up 14% of the land use. These key corridors employ over 4,000 local and neighboring residents (2040 General Plan, 2020 Census). Figure 2, Town of Colma Land Uses and Major Destinations
The Town is also part of one of the longest corridor s in the state, El Camino Real (ECR) or California State Route (SR) 82, which goes directly through the heart of the Town. This corridor sees an upward of 25,000 vehicles per day making it uninviting to pedestrians and bicycles due to its high volume of traffic and car-centric design.

In addition to land use factors, the Town has unique environmental factors including proximity to a high fire hazard severity zone, special flood zone areas, and diverse topographic elevation changes that are shown on the Environmental Factors Map (Figure 3).

2.1 Community and Demographic Context
Although the Town is home to over 1.5 million souls, the population in 2020 was just below 1,500, with a majority of the population being Asian (35%) and White (23%) (2020 ACS Data) . A breakdown of the demographics, as reported by the 2020 American Census Survey (ACS) is presented below in Exhibit 2 . The age demographics in Colma includes a substantial portion of its residents to be middle aged (421) and seniors (273).

2.2 Existing Reports
The information from the following plans and reports was incorporated into this Master Plan to build upon and complement existing planning documents. Together, these plans will better position the Town when leveraging federal, state, and local monies to achieve its goal of providing a connected, safe, effective active trans portation system in the Town of Colma. A link to access a full copy of these reports can be found as part of Section 6 References of this document.

COLMA EL CAMINO REAL BICYCLE & PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENT PLAN Colma El Camino Real Bicycle & Pedestrian Improvement Plan focused exclusively on ECR or California State Route 82 (SR-82), which goes directly through the heart of the Town, connecting Daly City to South San Francisco. Although SR-82 carries over 25,000 vehicles a day, this corridor has become more of a local arterial as opposed to the destination corridor the Grand Boulevard Initiative (GBI) is working towards achieving. The plan also mentions that the land use profile along the corridor, vehicular focus, and streetscape design have made ECR unwelcoming to pedestrians and bicyclists.

Taking into consideration the Town’s unique demographic characteristics that house 1,500 residents but employ 4,131 local and neighboring residents, the plan proposes a series of recommendations to improve the travel experience which includes a road diet. The proposed recommendations consist of removing a travel lane in both directions between F Street to the north and ECR’s intersection with Mission Road to the south, Figure 4, Issues and Potential Improvements on El Camino Real.

SERRAMONTE BOULEVARD AND COLLINS AVENUE MASTER PLAN
The Serramonte Boulevard and Collins Avenue Master Plan focuses on the town’s primary commercial corridors between Serramonte Boulevard (Blvd.) and Collins Avenue (Ave.), also known as the Town’s economic engine. The corridor is l ocated between Juniper Serra Boulevard and El Camino Real, as shown in Figure 3 Serramonte Boulevard and Collins Avenue Corridor.

Serramonte Blvd. and Collins Ave. are the key commercial corridors for the Town. They house one of the premier auto rows in the Bay Area, commercial centers on the western end, and the Town's City Hall at the eastern end.

However, despite their importance, the roads lack cohesion in urban design due to setbacks, landscaping, and public realm treatment. This makes the corridor uninviting to pedestrians and bicyclists.

The plan further details dangerous pedestrian crossings due to lack of visual cues to slow down traffic, lack of crosswalks at intersections, the absence of marked bicycle lanes on shared tr affic lanes and lack of bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Although there are shared roads, there are no designated bicycle lanes or right of way. As a result, bicycle traffic in the Town is extremely low.

Furthermore, both Serramonte Boulevard and Collin s Avenue were found to have excess vehicular roadway capacity. As such, the plan details a series of recommendations throughout the corridor which include:
▪ A road diet: This would reduce the number of travel lanes on Serramonte B lvd. from four (4) to three (3), and on Collins Avenue from two (2) to one (1). The additional space would be used to widen sidewalks, add bicycle lanes, and install pedestrian amenities.
▪ Push-button activated mid -block Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB): These beacons would b e installed at mid-block crosswalks to alert drivers to pedestrians crossing the street. ▪ Crossing pedestrian refugee islands and pedestrian crossing beacons: These islands and flashing beacons would be installed at intersections to provide a safe crossing area for pedestrians. ▪ Installation of more lighting and traffic signals: T his would improve visibility and make it easier for pedestrians and cyclists to cross the street.
▪ Restriping along the corridor: This would improve the visibility of crosswalks and o ther pedestrian amenities.

COLM A TRANSPORTATION SAFETY ACTION PLAN FINAL SYSTEMIC SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT The Colma Transportation Safety Action Plan Final Systemic Safety Analysis Report (SSAR) analyzed the crash history on roadways to determine the cause and how to take appropriate measures in improving road safety. The Town’s SSAR was completed in 2018 and looked at crash data from 2011 through 2016. The data used was gathered from Statewide Integrated Traffic Reporting System (SWITRS), University of California, Berkeley Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS), Colma Police Department reported crash data, Local roadway, traffic volume, roadway/intersection characteristics, transit data, and field counts.

The SSAR identifies 121 reported crashes and concluded the following, as it relates to bicyclist and pedestrians:
▪ Five (5), or 4%, involved pedestrians.
▪ Four (4), or 3%, involved bicyclists.
▪ Roadside crashes (71%), vehicle/ pedestrian crashes (67%), and head -on crashes (50%) resulted in the highest proportion of injuries.
▪ The most frequently cited primary collision factors include improper turning (22%) and unsafe speed (19%). ▪ Two (2) of five (5) reported pedestrian crashes were coded as occurring in the road (including the shoulder), indicating the pedestrian was likely walking along the road or shoulder rather than trying to cross. ▪ Of the thirty-eight (38) crashes reported to have occurred in the dark, 2% occurred where no s treetlights were present.

The SSAR identifies a series of projects to improve road safety in each of the corridors within the Town such as El Camino Real, Juniper Serra, Hillside, Mission Road, Serramonte, Collins Ave, Colma, Lawndale, and F Street. Many of the projects require capital improvements but are broken down by corridor and could be completed in phases based on priority. The report also identifies strategies to implement road safety though policies, education, and enforcement. The report further prioritizes the proposed projects and analyses the projects' benefit-cost ration.

CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION PLAN 2040
The California Transportation Plan 2040 (CTP 2040) serves as the long -range policy plan for the California’s transportation system with the goal of enhancing Californian’s quality of life through more equitable and sustainable transportation options. The plan describes major trends that will impact transportation over the next twenty -five (25) years and identifies goals, policies, strategies, performance measures, and recommendations to create a safe, sustainable, universally accessible, and globally competitive transportation system. CTP 2040 incorporates several state and planning documents such as the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) throughout California, Environmental Goal and Policy Report, and Smart Mobility Framework.

GRAND BOULEVARD INITIATIVE MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR PLAN The Grand Boulevard Initiative Multimodal Transportation Corridor Plan was created in 2010 to guide El Camino Real away from an auto oriented streetscape and towards a pedestrian and transit friendly, safe, and efficient multimodal arterial. The plan analyzes the existing node/link street design and the challenges that communities face due to disconnected communities. Based on existing conditions and planned corridor improvements, the plan presents a multimodal access strategy that recommends creating space in the right of way for multiple travel modes, providing facilities for multimodal travel, differentiating mobility policies to reflect corridor development policies, and applying performance measure in project planning and evaluation.

CALTRANS DISTRICT 4 BIKE PLAN FOR THE SAN FRANCICO BAY AREA The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans)
District 4 Bike Plan looks at the eight (8) counties
surrounding the San Francisco Area; Sonoma, Napa, Solano, Contra Costa, Alameda, Santa Clara, San Mateo, and Marin, to identifies infrastructure improvements that can the
enhance bicycle safety and mobility of its residents.

The plan acknowledges the lack of dedicated bikeways on several urban conventional State highways such as El
Camino Real (State Route 82), making this route uninviting to bicyclists and pedestrians. Consistent with the previous documents, this plan noted that the state highways often pass by several cities making them the City’s “backbone” by serving concentrated land use and commercial land.

However, the lack of pedestrian pathways and bicycle lanes creates a challenge even when the destinations are within walking/biking distance. The plan proposes a Class IV
separated bikeway on El Camino Real/State Route 82.

TOWN OF COLMA GENERAL PLAN 2040
The Town of Colma General Plan 2040 (GP 2040) serves as the long -range plan which directs the town in its decision making when considering land use, circulation/transportation, housing, conservation, open space, noise, and safety.

The Town is one of San Mateo’s smallest cities but has the largest expanses of open space created by cemeteries, giving the Town its name of “City of Souls”. The town is approximately two (2) miles south of City of San Francisco and midway between San Francisc o Bay and the Pacific Ocean. Of its approximately 1,500 residents, only 1% work in the town despite there being three (3) times the number of jobs in the City (2,900). The Town serves as a regional shopping destination for retail goods, automobiles, cemete ries needs and associated services, and has a card room. The GP 2040, in its entirety, considers the Town’s unique attributes to develop a plan that straightens the Town’s identity, enhances the residential environment, while preserving the regional center for cemeteries and commerce.

MOBILITY ELEMENT – TOWN OF COLMA GENERAL PLAN 2040 & COMPLETE STREETS

POLICIES
As part of GP 2040, the Mobility Element focuses on the transportation system in the Town. The Mobility Element provides the goals, policies, and actions to develop a safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible multimodal transportation system in the town of Colma, ensuring that these facilities reflect the land uses contemplated by the Land Use Element, and ensuring appropriate facilities that enhance mobility for pedestrians, bicycles, automobiles and which encourages the use of public transit. California State law (Government Code Section 65302(b)) mandates that a city or county adopts a general plan with a mobility (circulation) element that consists of the general location and extent of existing and proposed major thoroughfares, transportation routes, and terminals.

The street system within Colma is structured around State Highway 82 (El Camino Real) and Interstate 280, (I-280, Junipero Serra Freeway) which carry traffic into and out of town in a generally north to south direction. The internal street system consists of arterial streets, collector streets and local streets. Usable road width, sight distance, and travel speed generally decrease from major highways to local streets. “Vision Zero” is the simple notion that any loss of life on city streets is unacceptable. Humans, by nature, make mistakes. Vision Zero includes design practices to keep and make road networks safer for human activity and protect all users of the street and adjacent spaces. Colma has established a Vision Zero goal incorporating three key efforts:
(1) project prioritization through Capital Improvement Plan projects, (2) engineering, and (3) enforcement to create safer streets by slowing vehicle traffic and reducing the impacts associated with vehicle travel.

SAN MATEO COUNTYWIDE BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN PLAN
The San Mateo Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan was developed by the City/County Association of Governments (C/CAG) of San Mateo in partnership with the Technical Advisory Group and the C/CAG Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC). This plan was developed with six (6) goals in mind: Establish a connected network of facilities for bicyclists and pedes trians, Promote more people bicycling and walking for transportation and recreation, Improve safety for walking, bicycling, and accessing transit, Advance Complete Streets principles and the accommodation of all roadway users, Develop, prioritize, and fund projects to advance equity, and Promote collaboration and technical support and will serve as a guide for the local jurisdictions to make the roads safer, reduce congestion, and promote residents to walk and bike more throughout the County.

The project recommendations include infrastructure improvements, policies, and programs while focusing on the following four (4) key recommendations.
▪ The Bicycle Backbone Network whose goal is to address gaps between city limits to provide continuous, low-stress bikeways across the county.
▪ Pedestrian Focus Area (areas with high pedestrian activity) projects that focus on transit access and Complete Street corridor improvements.
▪ Visionary projects that focus on long -term planning efforts which includes, Bay to Sea Trail , the Grand Boulevard Initiative, the Dumbarton Rail Corridor Trail, the Coastal Trail, and the Crystal Springs Regional Trail, and
▪ Policies and Programs to facilitate the implementation of bicycle and pedestrian networks. This plan focused on the following four, Local Jurisdiction Training and Grant Support, Micromobility Strategies, High Injury Network and Systemic Safety Approach, First- and Last-Mile Transit Connections.

To achieve the goals, this plan provides a detailed analysis of the existing netwo rk, connectivity, transportation options, safety, gaps, and provides recommendations based on those needs.

HILLSIDE BOULEVARD COMPLETE STREETS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT The Hillside Boulevard Complete Streets Improvement Project proposed a two-phase implementation of complete streets infrastructure, including bike lanes and sidewalks, on Hillside Boulevard. Phase I was completed in 2014 and began at the northern city limit and ended at the driveways of Lucky Chances Casino near the Hillside Blvd./Serramonte Blvd. intersection. Phase II proposes similar improvements from Lucky Chances Casino to the Hillside Blvd./Lawndale Blvd. intersection near the southern city limit. The project aims to increase safety while enhancing mobility and connectivity for all modes of transportation. The Town applied for grant funding at the end of 2022 with the goal of construction completion by the end of 2027.

MISSION ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
The Mission Roads Improvement project included pedestrian, bicycle, and roadway improvements on Mission Road.

This was completed in 2021.

ACTIVE SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN PLAN MASTER PLAN The Active South San Francisco (South City) Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan was complete in June 2022. The plan is an update to the City’s previous plan and integrates several modes of transportation such as walking, biking, mobility assistance devices, human powered devices (e -scoters, e-bikes, skateboards, etc.). South City lies south of the Town bordering it on Lawndale, El Camino, and Arlington D r. South City provides Colma residents access to the South San Francisco BART station on the corner of Lawndale and Mission Blvd.

The South City Plan proposes a series of recommendations for bikeways, some of which connect into the Town, those recommendations are as follows:
▪ Class III buffered Bicycle Lane on Mission Rd. and McLellan Dr. which would connect to Mission Road and Lawndale Blvd.
▪ Class IV Separated Bikeway on Junipero Serra Blvd.
▪ Class III buffered Bicycle Lane on Hillside Blvd. connecting to the South end of Hillside Blvd in Colma.

The plan also proposes several pedestrian improvements focus areas, program, policies, and infrastructure improvements in areas surrounding the Town.

2.3 Transportation Existing Conditions
This section includes a summary of existing conditions and background related to active transportation in the Town including existing and proposed pedestrian and bicycle facilities in section 2.3.1. and existing street volumes for pedestrian and bicycle trips.

2.3.1 Pedestrian Facilities, Bicycle Facilities, Public Transit Facilities, and Park and Ride Lots
Pedestrian Facilities. The Town has a number of pedestrian facilities and amenities, including:

Sidewalks: Most of the streets in Colma have sidewalks, although there are some gaps. The sidewalks are generally in good condition, but they can be narrow in some areas.

Crosswalks: There are pedestrian crosswalks at most intersections in Colma. The crosswalks are marked with signs and painted lines, and they are generally well-lit.

The town is actively working to improve its pedestrian facilities and infrastructure including projects to improve pedestrian safety and access such as widening sidewalks, adding more crosswalks, and creating a network of pedestrian trails.

The town is also working to make its streets more pedestrian-friendly by reducing speed limits and implementing traffic calming measures and installing pedestrian safety measures. These measures are also intended to make the town more accessible for everyone.

Bike Facilities. In 2017, the Town of Colma installed a Bicycle repair “fix it” station along Hillside Blvd. in front of the Colma Community Center, 1520 Hillside Blvd., Colma.

The bicycle “fix it” station was donated by Kaiser Permanente as part of the Town’s sustainability program and is owned and maintained by the Town. Staff visited the location and noticed temporary repairs on the station, Exhibit 7.

Bike lockers are provided at both BART stations located at the north and south end of the Town. The lockers are a part of the BikeLink Network. More information on the BikeLink Networks can be accessed at, https://bikelink.org/maps.

Bike Lanes. As noted in the Town’s General Plan 2040, there are currently Class II bicycle facilities throughout the Town, Figure 8 (Bicycle Network Map).

The following roadways are designated as Class II Bike Lanes in the Town of Colma:
▪ Hillside Boulevard provides connectivity from the north end of the town, down to the South end of Town and has Class II lanes on both sides of the road from Hoffman Street to Holly Avenue. These improvements are part of the Hillside Boulevard Complete Streets Improvement Project. Phase 1 was completed in 2014 and began at the northern city limit and ended at the driveways of Lucky Chances Casino near the Hillside Blvd/Serramonte Blvd. intersection. Phase II proposes simila r improvements from Lucky Chances Casino to the Hillside Blvd/Lawndale Blvd. Intersection near the southern city limit. ▪ Lawndale Boulevard from Hillside Blvd. to Mission Street where the South San Francisco Bay Area Transit (BA ▪ RT) station is located. Lanes are provided in both directions and are in moderate condition. ▪ Mission Boulevard starts at the south end of Town on Lawndale Blvd., where it intersects with El Camino Real.

The lanes are provided in both directions and are in good condition. Stripes are visible throughout Mission Blvd. ▪ Junipero Serra Boulevard starting on the D street (right before the Town’s City limits) to Arlington Dr. (the edge of town). Bike lanes are provided in both directions and are in moderate condition.

The town does not have any roadways classified as a Class III Bicycle Routes, but there is a Class III route in Daly City on Serramonte Blvd., which merges/transitions with the Town’s Class II bike Lane on Junipero Serra Blvd. at Serramonte Blvd. at City limits. Per the General Plan 2040 Mobility Element, the town plans to improve El Camino Real as a Class IV Separate Bikeway, and F St. as Class II or Class III bicycle facility. The existing and proposed bicycle network is shown on the following map.

Public Transit. The City of Colma is currently served by SamTrans and BART. Service is as follows.

Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) is accessible on the North and South side of the Town. The Colma BART Station is located at 365 D Street just to the north (in Unincorporated San Mateo County), and the South San Francisco BART station is located at 1333 Mission Road, South San Francisco, and provides connectivity throughout San Mateo County and beyond. The station(s) shares service with SamTrans and provides parking, bike racks and lockers, and is easily accessible for pedestrians and nearby residents in Colma. Colma BART station serves both the “Yellow” (Antioch-SFO + Millbrae) and “Red” (Richmond-Millbrae + SFO) lines. Headway (service frequency) for the “Yellow” line averages 15 minutes for stops between 5:00 AM and 8:00 PM, and 30 minutes for stops between 8:00 PM - 1:30 AM. The “Red” line sees similar headway, with 15 minutes between stops at 5:50 AM -8:30 PM. More information on BART and how to ride BART can be viewed at, https://www.bart.gov/.

San Mateo County Transit (SamTrans) provides 14 stops throughout the Town of Colma and shares a transit hub with the Colma BART station. More information on transit connections and how to ride SamTrans can be viewed at, https://www.samtrans.com/.

SamTrans has three (3) bus stops in the Town of Colma located on El Camino Real (cross streets Colma Blvd, Serramonte Blvd and Old Mission Rd). These stops have varying headway depending on the time of day and day of the week. Between midnight and 5:00 AM on weekdays, headway (frequency of service) is approximately 1 hour. This time decreases to 15 minutes between stops during the hours of 5:00 AM to 7:00 AM, with 10-minute stop frequencies between 7:00 and 7:30 AM. 15-minute headway resumes from 7:30 AM to 6:45 PM, where afterwards frequency increases to 20-30 minutes per stop. Weekend frequencies range from 20 minutes during peak hours to 30 minutes in the later evening.

2.4 Travel Behavior – Trip Volumes and Roadway Safety
This section describes the travel behavior of pedestrians and bicycles in the Town based on existing conditions.

Specifically, it provides the estimated average volumes of pedestrian trips and bicycle trips that occur daily on the Town’s roadway system; and it discusses how the spatial variations and distributions of estimated trips relate to the existing land uses and major destinations in and around Colma. This section includes trip volume maps which use size-gradient symbols, where the widths of line symbols represent the quantity of trips on specific street segments.

These flowline symbols are also labeled with the corresponding estimated trip values. The maps provide visualizations of the relative differences between trip volumes on various roadways, and they facilitate comparative analysis.

Pedestrian travel behavior is described in section 2.4.1. Bicycle travel behavior is covered in section 2.4.2. Recent data on the number and location of reported automobile accidents involving either a pedestrian or a bicyclist in the Town of Colma, as provided by the Colma Police Department, is included in section 2.4.3.

Methodology. The average daily trip (ADT) volume numbers contained in this report are projections based on analysis of real, “raw” data and according to specific parameters including, but not limited to, those described below. These data projections are prepared for the purpose of obtaining a “big picture” view of pedestrian and bicycle traffic in the Town of Colma. The data projections are not intended to provide the basis for evaluating specific roadway conditions or improvements. Prior to implementing new improvements or designs, field verification is recommended.

The estimated ADT volumes were obtained from StreetLight Insight, a “big data” web platform that harnesses connected device data and Internet data to measure vehicle, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic. StreetLight Data, Inc.2 (StreetLight) runs a proprietary data processing engine to algorith mically transform data inputs into contextualized, aggregated, and normalized travel patterns. The resulting metrics are validated against external sources, including permanent and temporary sensors, household surveys, and the Census.

For this study, the ADT volumes were generated based on the data gathered during specific time periods as recommended by StreetLight. The recommended time periods represent typical months that are not impacted by seasonal events and are the most recent typical year. For pedestrian trip data, the time parameters included September to November of 2019 and April to June of 2020, inclusive. For bicycle trip data, the time parameters included March-May and September-November of 2019, inclusive. The data includes weekdays and weekend days, which do not vary significantly in traffic volumes.

The spatial parameters for generating the trip data include all the major roadways in the Town. The analysis excluded local residential roads with very low traffic volumes a nd private roads. The StreetLight application generated the results of the trip data analysis based on numerous selected predefined street segments, which were further normalized and averaged to represent larger street segments for the purposes of this report and its map figures.

2.4.1 Pedestrian Travel Behavior
The estimated ADT volumes of pedestrian trips on major public rights-of-way in the Town of Colma are provided on the map in Figure 10 (Pedestrian Trips Volume Daily Map). It is assumed that most pedestrian trips occurring in Colma involve an origin and/or a destination within the Town. This is because routes that entirely cross Colma involve travelling multiple miles; and few routes offer efficient cut-throughs for pedestrians travelling between locations that lie outside of the Town.

As shown in the Pedestrian Trips Volume Daily Map, the highest volume of pedestrian activity occurs on the west side of the Town. These higher pedestrian volumes correspond to the streets connecting the major retail commercial centers: 280 Metro Center and Serra Center, located east of Junipero Serra Boulevard in the Town, and Serramonte Center, located west of Junipero Serra Boulevard in Daly City. Around the intersection of Junipero Serra and Colma boulevards, daily pedestrian volumes reach approximately 3,000; and a round the intersection of Junipero Serra and Serramonte boulevards, the volumes range from approximately 1,000 to 2,000. On Serramonte Boulevard, which is a major commercial corridor that extends through the center of town, the pedestrian ADT volumes range from over 1,000 west of El Camino Real, to nearly 700 daily trips east of El Camino Real. These patterns of higher pedestrian volumes indicate a positive correlation to major retail commercial uses in and around the Town.

Colma Boulevard and the northern segment of El Camino Real provide a pedestrian connection between the highest- volume major commercial areas on the west side of Colma (see above) and major destinations in the vicinity of northern Colma, including the Sterling Park residential neighborhood of Colma, residential areas of Daly City, and the nearby BART Colma Station. The average daily pedestrian trip volumes on these connecting segments exceed 500.

At the south end of the Town, high pedestrian activity occurs in the vicinity of the residential townhomes located along Mission Road, and El Camino High School and the BART South San Francisco Station, both of which are located south of the Town. In this localized area around the intersection of Mission Road and Lawndale Boulevard, the pedestrian ADT volume exceeds 1,100. The southernmost segment of Hillside Boulevard, which connects to South San Francisco neighborhoods, also has localized high pedestrian activity with an ADT count that exceeds 600.

In the rest of the Town, daily pedestrian trip volumes on the major roadways are generally between approximately 200 and 500. The exceptions are Collins Avenue and Hillside Avenue, between Serramonte Boulevard and Lawndale Boulevard, where no numerically significant pedestrian activity was reported. These extremely low-traffic streets contain long segments with no existing sidewalks on either side.

2.4.2 Bicycle Travel Behavior
The estimated average daily volumes of bicycle trips on major public rights-of-way in the Town of Colma are shown on the map in Figure 11 (Bicycle Trips Volume Daily Map). Unlike pedestrian travel behavior which is assumed to be Colma- based, it is presumed that most bicycle trips do not necessarily include an origin or destination within the Town. It is likely that most bicycle trips pass through Colma between origins and destinations that lie outside of the Town.

The map shows that the highest volumes of bicycle activity occur on the major north-south thoroughfare of Junipero Serra Boulevard. The base level of through-traffic on Junipero Serra Boulevard is approximately 500 bicycle trips per day, which is higher than the volumes on any other roadway in Colma. In addition, the traffic volumes on Junipero Serra Boulevard increase significantly to approximately 700 to 900 trips on segments that access the commercial retail centers of 280 Metro Center and Serra Center. These retail centers appear to be the only major destinations for bicyclists within Colma.

Bicycle traffic volumes on El Camino Real, a secondary north -south thoroughfare that runs through the center of Colma, range from approximately 300 to 400 trips per day. At the “Y” split of El Camino Real/Mission Road in southern Colma, the traffic volume divides, and substantial numbers of bicyclists use each segment. On Hillside

DRAFT COLMA BICYCLE AND PEDESTERIAN MASTER PLAN

JULY 2023 36

Boulevard, the third north -south thoroughfare in Colma, the bicycle traffic volumes are significantly less than on Junipero Serra Boulevard and El Camino Real. The traffic volumes on Hillside Boulevard are fewer than 100 bicycle trips per day, except at the north end of Colma where the traffic volume exceeds 100.

Colma Boulevard and Serramonte Boulevard are the most utilized east-west connections between the major north-south thoroughfares of Junipero Serra Boulevard and El Camino Real. These corridors carry bicycle traffic on the order of approximately 200-300 trips per day. On Serramonte Boulevard, between El Camino Real and Hillside Boulevard, bicycle volumes drop to over 100. On Collins Avenue, another east-west connector between Junipero Serra Boulevard and El Camino Real, traffic volumes are less than 100 bicycle trips per day. At the north and south ends of Colma, respectively, the east-west roadways of “F” Street and Lawndale Boulevard reported no numerically significant bicycle traffic.

2.4.3 Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety
The Colma Police Department provided data on the number and location of reported automobile accidents involving either a pedestrian or a bicyclist in the Town since the beginning of 2021 (see Exhibit No. #). In total, six (6) accidents involving either a pedestrian or a bicyclist were record ed in 2021 and 2022, combined. No accidents were reported in 2023 as of this report's preparation date.

Figure 12 (Pedestrian and Bicycle Accident s, 2021-2022 Map) shows the location of each automobile accident involving either a pedestrian or a bicyclist in the Town since the beginning of 2021. As indicated on the map, most of these accidents occurred in the vicinity of Junipero Serra Boulevard between Colma and Serramonte boulevards, which is the area of greatest traffic volume for both pedestrian and bicycle traffic in the Town. It’s important to note that all three (3) accidents involving pedestrians did not o ccur on a Colma public roadway, but within the Serra Center commercial property just west of Junipero Serra Boulevard. Of the three (3) reported accidents involving bicycles, two occurred on Junipero Serra Boulevard at intersections with other streets or driveways. One accident involving a bicycle occurred at the El Camino Real/Mission Road “Y” split. 304

2.4.4 Safe Routes to School
Walking and biking to school are great ways for students to get exercise, learn about their community, and reduce their environmental impact. The San Mateo County Office of Education's Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program is working to make it easier and safer for students to walk and bike to school by partnering with local governments, schools, and community groups. “By continuing to invest in education, encouragement, and infrastructure that supports safe walking and biking, there will be a change in transportation among school children in San Mateo County.” The San Mateo County Office of Education (SMCOE) recently conducted a youth-based high injury network (HIN) Report as part of the SRTS pr ogram. The report analyzed collision data from 2014 t hrough 2020 to identify roadways near schools with the highest frequencies of pedestrian and bicycle collisions. This information can help local jurisdictions prioritize safety improvements and make walking and biking to school safer for students.

According to the HIN Report, there were seven (7) pedestrian -involved accidents and one (1) bicycle -involved accident in the Town from 2014 through 2020. Figure 133 (Town of Colma Safety Analysis Infographics - SRTS HIN Report) provides a safety analysis summary for the Town of Colma.

Collision data provided in the HIN Report is from the Transportation Injury Mapping System (TIMS), which has all injury and higher severity collisions reported to the California Highway Patrol (CHP) by local and government agencies from the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS).

A speed analysis for priority corridors was also incorporated into the HIN Report to i dentify roadway segments or areas with reported vehicle speeding near schools. Figure 14 (Town of Colma Speeding Analysis - SRTS HIN Report) shows the reported speeding near schools in and around the Town, including roadways segments on Lawndale Boulevard near El Camino Real High School, and Hillside Boulevard, Junipero Serra Boulevard and El Camino Real at the northern end of the Town.

The HIN Report also provide s a robust summary of key countermeasures, as shown on Exhibit 8a and 8b ___ (Recommended Countermeasures table), “...selected to focus on speed management, pedestrian safety improvements, intersection improvements, and programmatic strategies that have proven safety benefits.”4

3 PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
When planning and programming funds, it is important to involve the public in a way that is open, transparent, and accessible. This means providing clear and concise information, giving people the opportunity to provide feedback, and considering their inpu t when making decisions. By involving the public, planners and decision -makers can ensure that the plans and programs are effective and meet the needs of the community.

In addition to ensuring that projects meet community needs, public engagement can also help build public support for planned projects. When the public understands the rationale behind a project and how it will benefit the community, they are more likely to support it. This can be especially important for controversial projects, such as new bike lanes, road diets, and street scape.

Finally, public engagement can help to educate the public about active transportation planning and the tradeoffs and constraints that planners face. This can help to build public understanding of the challenges of transportation planning and the need for creative solutions.

The project team developed the Public Participation Plan (PPP) for the development of this plan. The PPP served as a guide for engaging the public through the development of the Final Master Plan. The outreach efforts in this plan were intended to engage and gather input from all segments of the community, including disadvantages communities and organizations that represent those with special needs, in addition to active stakeholders, local business owners, and the transit districts, with a combination of virtual content, in person meetings, a web-based survey, and promotional materials.

3.1 Outreach Strategy and Events Timeline
The outreach for this plan commenced with the distribution of a web-based survey in early spring 2023. The survey was made available through a quick response code (QR Code) and web link.

The project team worked with local law enforcement to put on a Coffee with a Cop: Bike and Pedestrian Safety. This event took place at the local Starbucks and provided residents with the opportunity to voice their concerns when it came to bicycle and pedestrian safety in the Town. Following this event, the project team worked with community members on several other outreach opportunities. The outreach activities are described in the following section.

The following section provides a summary of all of the outreac h conducted, the stakeholders involved, and feedback received.

3.2 Outreach Events Summary

WEB -BASED SURVEY
The public engagement process began with a review of the engagement strategies of previous plans to determine best practices in the community. The project team then built a comprehensive stakeholders list (Appendix D) including public agencies, business owners, and activist groups. To begin outreach to identifie d stakeholders, a web-based survey was developed. The survey, which was available in English and Spanish, went live March 1, 2023, via mentimeter.com. A quick response (QR) code was also created and shared with stakeholders. The survey was distributed via email, social media blast, the Town’s monthly newsletter (Livewire) in March and April, and bookmark flyers. The bookmark flyer, shown in Exhibit 11, includes a summary of the survey’s purpose, the survey link, and QR code. They were shared with local businesses and posted inside their local community bulletins, such as the Veterans Village, Starbucks, Philz Coffee, Colma BART station, and the Town Community Center.

The responses encompassed a diverse range of suggestions, including the addition of lanes, improved amenities, enhanced connectivity, and aesthetic improvements. A majority of the feedback centered around amenities, safety and the provisions of bike lanes. See Figure 16, Pop Up Word Art for a graphic representation of survey responses.

Participants emphasized the need for various encouraging factors, such as installation of:
▪ Bike racks/stations;
▪ well-placed signage; and
▪ the inclusion of street furniture.

It was noted in Section 2 that the Town has a sizable population of vulnerable individuals, including children and youth (ages 0 - 19) and the elderly (over 50 years of age). Ensuring they have safe and convenient resting points along their routes could potentially motivate them to walk or cycle more frequently. To this end, implementing amenities like benches, planters, water bottle fill -up stations, bike repair stati ons, and dedicated bike parking lots or racks throughout the corridors would be beneficial. Additionally, incorporating destination maps and wayfinding signage specifically designed for bicyclists and pedestrians would enable safer navigation, eliminating the need to consult mobile devices for directions. This would mitigate the risk of distracted cycling, similar to the hazards posed by distracted driving. Furthermore, respondents highlighted the importance of protected lanes, including demands for the creation of new lanes and improvements to existing ones, to foster safer and more convenient cycling and walking routes. Safety emerged as another prominent topic, with participants expressing a need for safety-focused amenities and road enhancements. Sug gestions included improved lighting, secure bicycle parking and lanes, protective barriers, and additional signage. The accompanying images below provide visual representations of the comments and response received by members of the public, reinforcing the significance of these safety-related requests.

In addition to recommendations on potential facilities and amenities for bicycle and pedestrian improvements, the survey also included a question regarding recommendations on what and where they recommended bike and pedestrian improvements in the Town. The following Figure 15 (Requested Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements Map) and Table 4 provide a summary of recommendations for bicycle and pedestrian improvements within and around the Town.

COFFEE WITH A COP AND PLANNER
The project team coordinated with local law enforcement and Starbucks to organize an engaging "Coffee with the Community:

Bike and Pedestrian Safety." event. The event took place on Tuesday, March 8, 2023, from 9:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. at the Starbucks located at 900 Serramo nte Blvd. Starbucks donated free coffee for all participants. The primary objective of this event was to provide residents with a valuable platform for addressing their concerns regarding bicycle and pedestrian safety, facilitated by the presence of esteem ed members from the Colma Police Department and Planning staff. Staff had an extensive
conversation with a Colma resident who was an avid bicyclist and provided recommendations for improvements throughout the Town. All comments received were considered when drafting the project recommendations, policies, and goals.

In an effort to gather input from a wider range of participants, bookmark flyers were also distributed in the drive through and over the counter. This allowed individuals who were unable to stay for the event to still contribute and provide input. Recognizing the importance of inclusivity, the initiative aimed to capture the perspectives of as many community members as possible. It is worth highlighting that many individuals who participated in the event took the initiative to share their insights through the survey.

This dual engagement approach provided them with multiple avenues to express their opinions and ideas. The feedback will be carefully considered and thoughtfully incorporated into the final Master Plan. This inclusive approach ensures the outcome reflects a c omprehensive and representative strategy, considering the valuable contributions of the community members.

To better engage
with transit riders who prioritize active transportation, staff set up a pop-up event at the Colma BART station located on the North end of the Town, 365 D St, Colma Ca. to gather input from commuters and BART and SamTrans transit riders, a strategic location to understand ensures connectivity and accessibility for bicyclists and pedestrians in and around Colma. By setting up the pop-up event at this bustling transit station, the staff seized the opportunity to gather input from the diverse community of transit riders and observe.

SILICON VALLEY BIKE COALITION COORDINATION
The Silicon Valley Bike Coalition (SVBC) is a bike activist organization that advocates for safe and accessible bicycling in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties to build healthier and more just communities. In the past, the SVBC has provided public comment and letters of support for bicycle improvement plans in Exhibit 17. Coffee with the Community Ad

the Town. In April 2023, staff met with a representative of the coalition to introduce the Plan and discuss best practices for public outreach and how the goals of the plan aligned with the vision of the SVBC. The representative from the SVBC provided the following recommendation for the Plan:

Recommendation to improve Hillside Blvd. as a Class II "b" facility to provide a physical buffer between vehicle lane and bike lane ( i.e., raised median, not just bollards/channelization), which could be improved as a Class IV bike facility in the future once additional funding is available.

In addition to the me eting in April, Staff have interacted with the SVBC and their outreach events on multiple occasions. In August of 2022, Staff attended the annual Silicon Valley Bike Summit which provided a great opportunity to connect and collaborate with active transportation leaders and local government officials. The event included numerous panels and presentations covering active transportation topics ranging from E -bikes to more meaningful and effective community engagement. In April 2023, Staff attended one of SVB C’s Smart Cycling courses offered as a free resource to the public. The program began with fundamentals including equipment terminology and adjustments, followed by the rules of the road and handling basics. After providing a strong foundation, the course delved into traffic tips for all types of road and intersection conditions. Overall, the course provided Staff with valuable bike safety information and the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of some of the challenges bicyclists face on the road.

LIVEWIRE
The Town of Colma consistently maintains an effective means of communication through its monthly newsletter, LiveWire. This newsletter serves as a comprehensive source of up-to-date news, events, job opportunities, and ongoing projects within the Town and its surrounding areas. In the March edition of LiveWire, a dedicated section was included to announce the Starbucks event, providing a brief description of the Plan and informing readers about how they could participate by taking the Mentimeter Survey. The newsletter is distributed by the Town to individuals who have voluntarily subscribed to the mailing list, ensuring that the information reaches an engaged audience.

In the subsequent April edition of LiveWire, the bookmark flyer was included to encourage residents to actively participate in the survey and share their valuable feedback on bicycle and pedestrian safety. By providing a physical reminder of the survey and its importance, the Town aimed to generate increased response rates and ensure that the perspectives of the community were well -represented. Appendix A includes copies of the March and April LiveWire editi ons for reference, allowing interested parties to review the content in greater detail. This communication approach through LiveWire ensures that residents are kept informed and actively involved in the ongoing initiatives and decision-making processes of the Town.

SOCIAL MEDIA BLAST
The Town's outreach efforts were effectively announced and promoted through its active presence on popular social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. These platforms served as valuable channels to reach a wide audience and engage with the community on a digital platform. By leveraging the Town's official social media accounts, important updates about the events, including the Starbucks event and other related initiatives, were disseminated to followers and residents. Furthermore, the Colma Police Department played an integral role in amplifying the outreach efforts by sharing the events on their own social media channels. This collaboration ensured a broader reach and increased visibility among the community members who follow the police department's accounts.

Through these collective efforts, the Town effectively used social media to inform, engage, and encourage participation from residents and interested individuals. By leveraging these popular pla tforms, the Town and the Colma Police Department ensured that important announcements and initiatives regarding bicycle and pedestrian safety reached a wide audience and garnered meaningful community involvement.

INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION
Staff's proactive and comprehensive outreach efforts have yielded valuable opportunities for intergovernmental coordination. During the Coffee with the Community event, staff engaged in a meaningful discussion with Staff from other agencies. The focus of this discussion centered around future coordination with adjacent cities including South San Francisco on upcoming and ongoing Capital Improvement Projects. This exchange provided a platform for sharing insights, ideas, and potential collaborations that would benefit both communities.

Furthermore, while distributing surveys at the Colma BART Station, staff had the opportunity to connect with the BART Sustainability Coordinator. This interaction allowed for a discussion on future coordination efforts related to
micromobility (see Appendix A includes a list of Design Guidelines and Resources) include a guideline for regulating Shared Micromobility) and improving connectivity and
accessibility to BART stations. This contact led to the connection with the BART Bike Task Forc e staff liaison and committee members, establishing a valuable link to a
specialized group dedicated to promoting bicycling initiatives within the BART system.

These intergovernmental connections and collaborations
provide opportunities for shared knowledge, coordinated efforts, and enhanced transportation planning and
infrastructure development. By leveraging these opportunities for coordination, City staff are better equipped to address the needs and aspirations of the co mmunity while fostering valuable partnerships with neighboring jurisdictions and regional transportation agencies.

SS4A supports planning, infrastructure, behavioral, and operational initiatives to prevent death and serious injury on roads and streets involving all roadway users, including pedestrians; bicyclists; public transportation; and micromobility users.

The first round of funding allocated $800 million to 474 projects. The Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the second round of funding (fiscal year 2023) was open through July 10, 2023.

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM (STBG)
STBG funds are apportioned through the BIL and apportioned by the Federal highway Administration (FHWA). Funds are available through Caltrans for cities, counties, and other local agencies recognized by Caltrans through a master agreement. STBG provides flexible funds for a wide variety of projects that improve public road, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure s uch as trails, sidewalks, bike lanes, crosswalks, pedestrian signals, and other ancillary facilities. Modification of sidewalks to comply with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is also an eligible activity.

More information is available on the FHWA webpage at this link: https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/specialfunding/stp/.

CONGESTION MITIGATION AND AIR QUALITY (CMAQ) IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM CMAQ funds are made available for projects and programs in air quality nonattainment and maintenance areas for ozone, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter which reduce transportation related emissions. Funds can be used to build pedestrian and bicycle facilities that reduce travel by automobile. These funds are administered by Caltrans; however, Caltrans assigns a significant portion of the CMAQ to MTC to be used at their own discretion, subject to federal regulations.

MTC develops policies and requirements associated with the programming of STP and CMAQ funds and delegates the management of the program, at the county level, to CMAs (Congestion Management Agency) . CMAs perform project solicitations, selection, and programming in the county. Program details can be found on MTC’s webpage at this link: https://ccag.ca.gov/funding/federal/

OFFICE OF TR AFFIC SAFETY (OTS) GRANTS
The OTS Highway Safety Program grants are administered by California Office of Traffic Safety OTS, California’s lead traffic safety organization. Funds are made available annually, with project announcements in December. The funds are made available to public entities whose projects focus on the National Highway Program Priority Areas with include roadway safety, traffic, and pedestrian & bicycle safety. Full pro ject details can be found on the California Office of Traffic Safety webpage at this link: https://www.ots.ca.gov/grant-program-manual/ ?emrc=63f01c34aa8c7.

LOCAL GRANT PROGRAM
The Local Grant Program is part of the Clean California Beautification Projects administered by Caltrans. The programs provide funds to clean and beautify public spaces and underserved communities through its goals and objectives. The Local Grant Program goals include enhancing public health by improving public spaces for walking and recreation. The Local Grant Program is in its second funding cycle (as of February 2023).

SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING GRANTS
The Sustainable Transportation Planning G rant Program is derived from SB 1 with approximately $25 million in funds being made available annually. The program is administered by Caltrans and focuses on providing safe and reliable transportation networks for all. Eligible projects include active t ransportation initiatives, bike and pedestrian safety plans and or studies, complete streets projects, context -sensitive streetscapes or town center plans, and plans that advance the initiative to reduce SOV trips.

The program is broken down into three s eparate grants, Sustainable Communities Competitive, Sustainable Formula, and Climate Adaption Planning and funds are made available annually through a call for projects. Annual call for projects and guidelines can be found on the Caltrans web page at this link: https://dot.ca.gov/ programs/transportation-planning/division-of-transportation-planning/regional-and-community-planning/ sustainable-transportation-planning-grants.

CLEAN MOBILITY VOUCHERS
The Clean Mobility Options Pilot Program (CMO) provides funding for two types of projects: clean mobility projects and community transportation needs assessments for government entities, non-profit organizations and California Native American Tribal Governments. Clean Mobility projects include bike sharing and ride -on-demand services, that fill a community’s transportation gaps and provide access to key destinations. To qualify for funding, applicants must include a recent Community Transportation Needs Assessments (Needs Assessment) which identifies and develops community-driven solutions that address their unique transportation needs. The Needs Assessment can be funded with the second set of funding provided by CMO Vouchers.

The program closed Dec 7, 2022, with project announcements scheduled for early 2023. More information on the funding available and future calls for projects can be found via the clean mobility website at this lin k:

SHARED MICROMOBILITY
▪ National Association of C ity Transportation Officials ( NACTO)’s Guidelines for Regulating Shared Micromobility outlines best practices for cities and public entities regulating and managing shared micromobility services on their streets. Its recommendations were developed to reflect the wide variety of experiences that North American cities have had in regulating and managing shared micromobility. This document is explicitly meant to help cities establish guidelines for formal management of public-use mobility options that are not managed through traditional procurement processes (the management mechanism for most docked bike share programs in North America). The rapid growth in the number of shared micromobility trips and the introduction of e-scooters has required cities to focus new attention on how best to regulate these new services in order to achieve the best public outcomes. https://nacto.org/wpcontent/ uploads/2019/09/NACTO_Shared_Micromobility_Guidelines_Web.pdf. ▪ Lyft’s Annual Multimodal Report can be found at this link: https://www.lyft.com/impact/multimodal-report.
