February 2026
Invitations to participate were sent to residents around the corridor by USPS mail and handdelivery. Notices were shared via the project email list, the City’s print and virtual newsletters, and the City’s social media accounts.

Community Feedback

1. Values and Goals
The Values & Goals outreach introduced the project purpose, gathered community priorities, and initiated the values-and-goals phase of corridor planning. Participants learned about the City’s long-term objectives, explored challenges and opportunities along the corridor, and shared input through small group discussions, comment cards, and an online survey.

Values
Participants identified five key values and a strong set of goals for the corridor that should be reflected in the future of the University Avenue corridor.

1. Safety First. The community’s strongest shared value is a corridor that is safe for everyone, especially pedestrians, seniors, children, and cyclists.

2. Basic walkability and accessibility as a foundation. Participants consistently emphasized completing the basics: continuous sidewalks, comfortable crossings, and ADA-friendly access. The corridor should function as a place where walking is practical— not just possible.

3. Multimodal mobility. The public supports a corridor that better balances driving, transit, walking, biking, and emergency access. While there are different opinions about the “best” bicycle approach (protected lanes vs. alternate routing), there is broad agreement that current conditions do not feel safe and need improvement.

4. Local-serving corridor (not just a pass-through route). A repeated theme is that University Avenue should be “local friendly”—supporting daily needs, community destinations, and neighborhood quality of life. Parking and access are central to this value, particularly near parks and residences.

5. A greener, healthier, more welcoming street. Community members want a corridor that feels better—more trees, shade, and improved maintenance—while also acknowledging health concerns tied to traffic, trucks, and air quality.

2. Preferred Vision (Corridor Concept)
During the second engagement event, the project team presented options that synthesized the project purpose with the community’s values and goals. During the workshop, the team introduced the project purpose, summarized community values and goals gathered during the first engagement event and presented vision concepts for community review, discussion and feedback.

Each of the concepts and a summary of feedback received are described below.

Pedestrian Concepts & Questions
Continuous sidewalks on both sides of
University Avenue that are buffered from bikes
and cars by landscaping and street trees.

Community feedback from both the in-person
workshop and the online survey strongly
supported this concept.

Where should mid-block crossings be located? Bell Street Park received the most votes, with additional locations identified at Cooley
Avenue, the library parking lot, and north of Bell
Street.

Where should signal timing be adjusted to
allow for longer crossing times?
In-person workshop participants identified Bay
Road and Donohoe Street as intersections
needing longer pedestrian crossing times.

Survey responses were limited, with one
respondent also identifying Bay Road.

Bicycle Concept
Protected bikeways on each side of University
Avenue from Kavanaugh Drive to Runnymede
Street.

Between Runnymede Street and Donohoe
Street, a two-way bikeway runs on the west
side of University Avenue.

Bay Road and Runnymede Street are protected
intersections.

Community feedback from both the in-person
workshop and the online survey strongly
supported this concept.

Participants emphasized the importance of
safety and suggested incorporating features
like lighting to create a safer environment for
bicyclists. Other feedback included requests
for bicycle parking near bus stops and interest
in formalizing bicycle routes on streets parallel
to University Avenue.

Where should mid-block crossings be located? Bell Street Park received the most votes, with additional locations identified at Cooley
Avenue, the library parking lot, and north of Bell
Street.

Where should signal timing be adjusted to
allow for longer crossing times?
Bay Road and Donohoe Street were identified
as needing longer pedestrian crossing times.
434
Roadway Concepts
• Two travel lanes in each direction for the
full corridor.
• Emergency services mix with general traffic,
no improvement in response times.
• Cut through traffic may not change over
time.

This concept received support during both
workshop and online survey feedback. Support
for each concept was approximately even, with
this concept receiving slightly more support by
the numbers.

Commentors generally noted that this option
does not represent significant change to
existing conditions and may not address the
problem.
• Maintain existing lane configuration north of
Bay Road.
• South of Bay Road, one travel lane + one
emergency services lane in each direction.
• Emergency services uses dedicated lanes
to avoid traffic delays.
• Over time, reduced speeds will shift cutthrough traffic to other routes This concept received support during both
workshop and online survey feedback. Support
for each concept was approximately even, with
this concept receiving slightly more support by
the numbers.

Commentors generally liked the creation of a
more local-friendly street and benefits for
emergency services but expressed concerns
about where traffic would re-route.

Parking Concept
Parking Pockets can accommodate 2-5 parking
stalls. Where should parking pockets be
located?
Workshop participants suggested parking
pockets along the west side of University
Avenue near the Library and Bell Street Park.

Survey responses similarly identified Bell
Street Park, City Hall, the Library, and nearby
commercial areas as preferred locations.

Some respondents expressed concerns about
congestion and suggested structured parking
as an alternative.

Signal Timing
Where should signal timing be adjusted to
allow for longer crossing times?
Participants identified Bay Road and Donohoe
Street as intersections needing longer
pedestrian crossing times.

City Gateways
How can gateways best reflect EPA’s identity? Participants expressed that gateways should reflect EPA’s history, community pride, and
connection to the Bay. Suggestions included
incorporating birds, water themes, gateway
arches, historical timelines, a modern, simple
design aesthetic, and recognizing San
Francisquito Creek.

3. Preferred Vision (Corridor Concept)
Considering the values, goals and preferences identified through previous community engagement, the project team shared a Corridor Concept that integrates a context-sensitive approach with a mobility-focused segment north of Bay Road and a local-focus segment between Bay Road and Bell Street Park. The local-focus segment includes a targeted road diet and restricted median lanes for emergency vehicles and transit. The Concept also includes protected bikeways, continuous sidewalks, landscape buffers, enhanced lighting, and opportunities for gateway features and public art throughout the corridor.

During the workshop and through the online survey, participants shared a range of feedback on the Preferred Corridor Vision. Feedback themes are summarized below. • Roadway Concept. Participants expressed conflicted feelings about the reduction to one travel lane in each direction proposed for the segment from Bay Road to Bell Street Park.

While many participants supported the idea of the traffic-calming and placemaking opportunities this approach supports, there was concern about the impact to regional traffic conditions and whether restricted lanes would be respected during times of congestion.
• Walking and Biking Concepts. There was strong support for the walking and biking concepts proposed, including the addition of raised mid-block crossings. Several participants, including representatives from Peninsula Open Space Trust, expressed support for protected bike lanes and noted their importance for cyclist safety. The corridor’s role in supporting regional connections, including the Bay to Sea Trail, was also highlighted as an important benefit of the proposed vision.

CITY COUNCIL

STAFF REPORT
DATE: March 3, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
VIA: John Le, City Attorney, Melvin E. Gaines, City Manager BY: James Colin, City Clerk
SUBJECT: Discuss Ordering the Submission of a Measure on Term Limits for a Future Municipal Election
Recommendation
Discuss and consider the following regarding term limits:

1. Adopt a Resolution Ordering the Submission of a Measure on Term Limits at the June 2, 2026, Statewide Election and Setting Priorities for Filing Arguments For or Against the Ballot Measure; and

2. Appoint two members to write the argument for and rebuttal against the ballot measure.

Alignment with City Council Strategic Plan
Priority: Governance, Organizational Strength, and Fiscal Sustainability Background
The Fiscal Year 2025–2029 Strategic Priorities and FY 2025–27 Work Plan include Project GOV2: Conduct Council Term Limit Policy Research. On February 24, the City Council received a presentation outlining the legal framework governing local term limits, the procedural requirements for placing a measure on the ballot, and policy options for consideration. The Council did not take final action but directed staff to return with a proposed measure and related materials in time to meet the June 2026 election deadlines.

During that discussion, one concept received general support: limiting Councilmembers to three consecutive four-year terms, after which the individual would be required to sit out at least one election cycle (two years) before running again. The proposal would treat a partial term exceeding 437
POLICY AND ACTION 9.2
2 two years as a full term. Consistent with state law, the measure would apply prospectively only.

Terms already served, including those that began in 2024 or earlier, would not count toward the limit.

This report summarizes the governing law, describes how other San Mateo County cities structure term limits, analyzes voter participation trends in East Palo Alto, and outlines timing considerations associated with the June and November 2026 elections.

Analysis
Relevant Elections Background
As a general law city, the City of East Palo Alto is governed by state law, including Government Code section 36502. That statute authorizes a city council to propose, or voters to propose by initiative, a measure imposing term limits on councilmembers. Any such measure must be approved by a majority of voters and may apply only prospectively. Completed prior service cannot be retroactively counted as a term for purposes of a new limitation.

Term limits are commonly justified as a means of encouraging leadership rotation, broadening civic participation, and introducing new perspectives into policymaking. Across California, many cities and counties have adopted some form of limitation on consecutive or lifetime service. The State of California similarly imposes lifetime limits on members of the Legislature and statewide constitutional officers.

The Council has requested that staff return with draft ballot language and a proposed resolution calling an election, along with contextual information to support an informed policy decision.

Term Limits in San Mateo County
As the Council has yet to make a definitive decision on the nature of the term limits, staff has summarized San Mateo County term limits data presented February 24, 2026. You may review the February 24 Agenda Report for a full table.

A 2024 survey conducted by the City of Brisbane found that only six cities in San Mateo County currently impose council term limits. Those approaches vary. Supervisors of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors are also ineligible to serve more than three consecutive terms in office.

The Cities of Pacifica and Foster City limit councilmembers to two consecutive terms, although Foster City’s ordinance permits additional service after a break in tenure. Millbrae, San Mateo, and San Bruno impose three consecutive term limits, with variations in how partial terms are counted. Redwood City allows up to four consecutive terms and excludes certain partial terms from the calculation. In addition, members of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors are limited to three consecutive terms.

Most of these cities require a councilmember who reaches the maximum number of consecutive terms to sit out at least one election cycle before seeking office again. A smaller number of California 438
POLICY AND ACTION 9.2
3 cities impose lifetime limits rather than consecutive limits.

The proposal under discussion in East Palo Alto—three consecutive four-year terms with a required break and counting partial terms over two years as full terms—would align with the midrange of existing county practice.

Proposed Measure for Discussion
Staff has taken a proposal furnished by Mayor Lincoln and supported by Councilmembers Barragan and Dinan as a starting point. First, staff provides the June 2026 election option to ensure the Council understands the relevant deadlines. Second, staff has included an ordinance and resolution for the Council’s consideration and adoption (if that is the Council’s desire).

The draft ordinance prepared based on Council input would limit Councilmembers to three consecutive four-year terms beginning after the measure’s effective date. A Councilmember who completes three consecutive terms would be ineligible to run again until at least one intervening election cycle has passed. A partial term exceeding two years would count as a full term.

Because Government Code section 36502 requires prospective application, the measure would not count any term that began before its effective date. Accordingly, if voters approve the measure in June 2026 and the Council certifies the results in July 2026, the term limits would apply to terms commencing after certification.

One issue not addressed by the Council at the February 24, 2026 meeting was precisely when term limits would apply. The draft ordinance assumes that if the measure is adopted in June 2026, it would apply to individuals elected in the November 2026 election because their new terms would begin after the effective date. Conversely, if the Council delays submission of the measure until 2028 and voters approve it then, the limitation would apply to anyone elected in that 2028 cycle, as their terms would begin following voter approval. In either scenario, application is triggered by the start date of the term—not by prior service.

Costs of Term Limit Election
On February 24, staff requested the County Elections Office provide cost information concerning both June and November elections. The County Elections Office has estimated that placing a single measure on the June 2, 2026 ballot would cost between approximately $75,500 and $90,600, depending on ballot length and related variables. Cost estimates for November 2026 were pending at the time this report was prepared.

Voter Turnout (East Palo Alto)
The County also provided links to obtain information concern voter turnout:

March June November
2018 24.1% (GP) 56% (G)
2020 37.34% (PP) 72.51% (P)
2022 17.86% (GP) 35.57% (G)
2024 19.83% (PP) 56.81% (P)
2025 9.59% (S) 36.95% (S)
Averages 22.25% 20.98% 51.59%
GP = CA Gubernatorial Primary; G = CA Gubernatorial; PP = Presidential Primary; P = Presidential;
S = Special Election
In addition to cost, the more significant policy consideration is voter participation. Over the last five election cycles in East Palo Alto, November elections have consistently generated substantially higher turnout than March or June elections.

Average turnout in November elections between 2018 and 2025 was approximately 51.6 percent, with participation ranging from 35.6 percent in a gubernatorial year to more than 72 percent in a presidential year. By contrast, March and June elections during the same period averaged approximately 21–22 percent turnout. In non-presidential primary or special elections, turnout has fallen below 20 percent, and in March 2025 participation was 9.59 percent.

On average, November elections in East Palo Alto have drawn more than double the participation of March or June elections. In certain cycles, the difference has been even more pronounced. This gap is not marginal; it reflects tens of percentage points and, in practical terms, thousands of additional voters.

If the Council places a term limits measure on the June 2026 ballot, historical patterns strongly indicate that the electorate will be significantly smaller than in a November general election. If the Council’s objective is to maximize representational breadth and electoral legitimacy for a structural governance reform, a November election would statistically provide broader participation. 440
POLICY AND ACTION 9.2
5 However, if the Council intends to place a different initiative on the November 2026 ballot, that election should be avoided for the term limits measure in order to prevent ballot congestion, competing campaign dynamics, or strategic conflicts between measures. In that circumstance, the June 2026 election offers an earlier decision point, albeit with materially lower turnout.

The Council could also defer this decision until November 2028, a Presidential election expected to have the highest level of participation. As mentioned above, term limits approved in November 2028 would apply to the three council seats elected in November 2028 as well as the two council seats elected in 2030.

Conclusion
The Council must weigh three primary considerations: legal structure, timing, and participation.

The proposed three-term consecutive limit is consistent with state law and comparable to several San Mateo County cities. Because the law requires prospective application, the measure would apply only to terms beginning after voter approval. A delay until 2028 would not defer application to future officeholders; rather, if approved in 2028, the limitation would apply immediately to those elected in that cycle.

From a participation standpoint, historical data demonstrates that a June election will likely result in substantially lower voter turnout than a November general election—often less than half. If maximizing voter engagement is paramount, a November election is structurally stronger. If the Council plans to advance another ballot initiative in November 2026, that election should be avoided for this measure, and June 2026 provides the clearest alternative within the current cycle.

Staff seeks Council direction regarding whether to proceed with the June 2, 2026 submission and associated resolutions.

Fiscal Impact
The cost estimate for holding an election June of this year ranges from $75,500 to $90,600 Though we have not been provided a cost estimate for the November 2026 election, we anticipate that the costs would be roughly in line with the cost estimate provided for the June 2026 election.

Public Notice
The public was provided notice by making the agenda and report available on the City’s website and on a bulletin board located at City Hall: 2415 University Avenue, East Palo Alto. 441
