Operating Budget Impacts
Phase 2A includes design and construction of the separated bikeway along Stevens Creek Blvd (SCB) from Wolfe Road to De Anza Blvd. Improvements include traffic signal modifications at Wolfe Road and De Anza Blvd to provide separate bicycle phasing.

The 2016 Bicycle Transportation Plan identifies improvements needed and priorities to enhance and promote safer bicycle transportation in the City. The number one priority of the Plan was to provide a separated Class IV bicycle lane on Stevens Creek Blvd. This project is the second phase to address that priority.

Design and Documentation, and community outreach for Phase 2A (Wolfe Road to De Anza Blvd.) is complete. The construction contract for Phase 2A was awarded in February 2025. Construction will be complete before the end of the calendar year. See Phase 2B project narrative for more information on the subsequent work on this project.

It is anticipated that separated bike lanes will require additional maintenance to sweep bike lanes clean of debris. This cost will be in addition to normal street sweeping operations and will be included in the Operating budget.

Improving vehicular, pedestrian and bicyclist safety is a primary concern. The Bike Transportation plan named this the first priority, and the Pedestrian Transportation assigned this Tier 1 priority.

External grant funding has been secured for this project (OBAG and SB1 funding) and this will be used to reduce the City’s costs on Phase 2A. The remainder of the funds allocated by the City for Phase 2 will be used on Phase 2B.

Phase 2B includes design and construction of the separated bikeway along Stevens Creek Blvd (SCB) from De Anza Blvd. to Highway 85. Upgrades to the traffic signal at Bandley Dr. and Stevens Creek Blvd. will include new conduit, wiring, traffic signal boxes, two new signal heads, and a split phase signal operation for vehicles entering onto Stevens Creek Blvd. *Note: SCB Phase 2A and 2B were jointly funded in design. SCB Bikeway Phase 2B and Bandley Drive Signal Upgrade projects are combined in design and construction to increase efficiency, however funding is noted separately because the Bandley intersection project is funded with DIL fees.

The 2016 Bicycle Transportation Plan identifies improvements needed and priorities to enhance and promote safer bicycle transportation in the City. The number one priority of the Plan was to provide a separated Class IV bicycle lane on Stevens Creek Blvd. This project is the second phase to address that priority.

It is anticipated that separated bike lanes will require additional maintenance to sweep bike lanes clean of debris. This cost will be in addition to normal street sweeping operations and will be included in the Operating budget.

Design and Documentation of Phase 2B and the Bandley project is 95% complete. The project will be permitted, bid, and constructed once Phase 2A is complete.

Improving vehicular, pedestrian and bicyclist safety is a primary concern. The Bike Transportation plan named this the first priority, and the Pedestrian Transportation assigned this Tier 1 priority.*External grant funding has been secured for Phase 2A of this project and this will be used to reduce the City’s costs on Phase 2A. The remainder of the funds allocated by the City for Phase 2 will then be used on Phase 2B. External funding may be available for Phase 2B.

Upgrades to the traffic signal at Bandley Dr. and Stevens Creek Blvd. will include new conduit, wiring, traffic signal boxes, two new signal heads, and a split phase signal operation for vehicles entering onto Stevens Creek Blvd. Note:

SCB Bikeway Phase 2B and Bandley Drive Signal Upgrade projects are combined in design and construction to increase efficiency. Funding is noted separately because the Bandley intersection project is funded with DIL fees.

The Bandley Drive Signal Upgrades will significantly enhance pedestrian safety and pedestrian connectivity across Stevens Creek Blvd within the Crossroads district by reducing pedestrian-vehicle conflicts. Vehicle safety will also be increased for vehicles exiting the Crossroads driveway and Bandley Drive.

The signal upgrades will not increase operational costs.

Design and Documentation of Phase 2B and the Bandley project is 95% complete. The project will be permitted, bid, and constructed once Phase 2A is complete.

Improving vehicular, pedestrian and bicyclist safety is a primary concern. This project will significantly enhance pedestrian and vehicular safety.

External grant funding has been secured for Phase 2A. Additional external funding may be available for Phase 2B. The remainder of the City funds allocated for Phase 2 will be applied to Phase 2B once Phase 2A is complete. The scope of work for the Bandley intersection will be included in the Phase 2B scope of work for efficiency.

Operating Budget Impacts
In December 2020, City staff initiated a safety and operational study of the Bollinger Road from De Anza Boulevard to Lawrence Expressway to identify improvements that will enhance pedestrian, bicycle, motor-vehicle, and transit operations as a safety corridor. This is a collaboration between the City of Cupertino and City of San JosØ.

Further design and analysis work is required. This includes a topographic and utilities survey of Bollinger Road, preliminary engineering, and traffic analysis. The traffic analysis will determine the potential for the road diet (Alternative A from 2020 Feasibility Study) to increase congestion or divert traffic onto residential streets, and any corresponding mitigation measures to limit that impact (Alternative B from 2020 Feasibility Study).

Year 1 work includes preliminary design, feasibility, public outreach, traffic analysis, and topographic surveying. Year 2 will see continuation of Year One activities and initial preliminary engineering. Year 3 will encompass final preliminary engineering and preparation of final plans, specifications, and estimates.

T.B.D.

External grant funding obtained; 20% matching funds required. Improves safety and sustainable means of transportation and builds upon master plan priorities. Initial Traffic Study and preliminary designs can be initiated in this FY by PW.

Funding for analyses, public outreach, and preliminary plans, and estimates. Construction of improvements will require additional funding.

Operating Budget Impacts
In 2023 PG&E announced a rate decrease for electricity generated by photovoltaic (PV) systems (NEM 3) but provided a window to allow grandfathering the more economically-attractive NEM 2.0 rates if interconnection applications were successfully submitted and corresponding systems operational by 2026. NEM 2.0 Interconnection Applications were successfully submitted to PG&E for five Cupertino facilities: Blackberry Farm, Civic Center, Library, Quinlan Community Center & Senior Center, and Sports Center. This project aims to design and build PV systems at three locations. Council reviewed and approved the conceptual designs for Community Hall, Quinlan Community Center and Sports Center in December 2024 before awarding the Design Build contract in February 2025.

The City must connect the proposed photovoltaic systems to the grid by 4/15/2026 in order to take advantage of the NEM 2.0 applications, which provides 75 – 80% greater compensation than NEM 3 rates for electricity that is fed back into the electrical system. The savings in utility costs are projected to be $290K annually, and $13.4M over a 30yr lifespan.

Conceptual Design development and cost analysis completed in 2024. Design-Build: March 2025 to April 2026 Installation of the PV systems is projected to save $290K annually in utility costs. While additional maintenance will be required for the PV systems, additional staffing will not be required for ongoing operations and maintenance.

Installation of the PV systems is projected to provide substantial savings on utility costs, going forward. The use of cleaner energy sources is a CAP goal.

The proposed budget will enable design and construction of the systems. Inflation Reduction Act credits projected for this project are approximately $1.4M. Staff will also pursue other grant funding opportunities.
