• Helms Bakery District

General Comments:
• Concerns about driving distracƟon relaƟve to siƟng, brightness, proximity to corners • Kiosks will have no animaƟon and treated with anƟ-Glare • Discussed AB 15 – daylighƟng law to remove distracƟons in vehicular right of way. • Kiosks do not have to have uniform content. Passive may be different and interacƟve can be customized by different sites/districts
• Placement orientaƟon will be on sidewalks, perpendicular to the roads • Kiosks cannot be sited at Metro staƟon or in Metro right of way (under tracks) • Placement between curb and walkway - 18 inches from back of curb • AdverƟsing categories include entertainment, tech, fashion, food, etc. • City content on 1/8 slides and any unsold Ɵmes; unsold will vary at different Ɵmes of the year
Individual/Community Comments:
• On behalf of BPAC -Kiosks to NOT be sited:
o Any locaƟon blocking the line of sight between motor vehicle drivers and pedestrians entering/exiƟng the street.
o 20’+ (AB15 daylighƟng law) should be considered when selecƟng placements. o Examples of these locaƟons are near curb cuts, crosswalk entrances, loading zones. o The car line of sight should apply to driveways as well - kiosks should not block the view of pedestrians from a car entering/leaving a driveway.
o Any locaƟon which would make traversing in a wheelchair unreasonably challenging. o This primarily targets narrow and cluƩered sidewalks. We want to ensure that we are not only meeƟng ADA compliance but providing a sidewalk which is helped more than harmed by the addiƟon of signage.
o Any areas where desire paths intersect/diverge.
o Ideally kiosks are located adjacent to desire paths, rather than directly within them. o Any locaƟon blocking line of sight from Bike users of on-curb bike infrastructure. o Such as bike racks, repair staƟons, other signage for bikes, bike path/lane entrances. o In locaƟons where bright images / screens distract or confuse vehicle operators. o In safety-compromised interacƟons between cars and foot traffic, we want drivers and peds focused on safety, not adverƟsing.
o Examples might include next to important signage or walk signals that might be missed. o Blocking any road or pedestrian/bicyclist-specific signage located on the sidewalk. o BPAC would like Kiosks to be sited:
o Within line of sight of bus stops, rideshare drop off/pickup areas, and parking lots/parking structures. (This should help visitors find their way without feeling lost.) o Nearby theaters, galleries, local aƩracƟons, and other event spaces to capture individuals exiƟng
o Concerns that kiosks will block view of pedestrians and line of sight and curves o Need to ensure wheelchair access/ADA
• Avoid intersecƟons with exisƟng/important direcƟonal signage • Do not place on curve at Trader Joes/Erewhon
• Consider addiƟon to Robertson Improvement Project
• Stay 20 feet from corners, crosswalks and driveways
• Nothing on Washington and Overland? Blind Barber
• Move kiosk near City Hall further east near bus stop on the other side of apron • PosiƟon closer to transit
• Avoid Sepulveda all together
• Look at fatal accident reports and avoid all locaƟons (provide reports to SubcommiƩee) • Avoid at intersecƟons, do not have facing oncoming traffic, and consider midblock. • Closer to bus stops
• Ensure equitable distribuƟon throughout the City
• Include some that are more pedestrian oriented and some just for generally viewing • Should be closer to Senior Center or Vets
• Too many in Arts District
• Support pedestrian orientaƟons so that they are being used; need to be touched • More distribuƟon, not too many in one area
• Add into Hayden Tract near Destroyer
• Curious about qualificaƟons for small business criteria, sƟll to be determined • Help business get onto directories (i.e. Google maps) • Focus of featuring local businesses
• Consider facades/art structures around kiosks and implement geocaching • Help business get onto directories (Ike uses google maps)
