Stakeholder Process
From the adopted Complete Streets Policy of the City of Emeryville, Policy B.3.B.: Implementation: Next Steps: Stakeholder Consultation:
A. Stakeholder Consultation: The City of Emeryville will develop and/or clearly define a process to allow for stakeholder involvement on projects and plans including, but not limited to, the Emeryville Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, and/or Transportation Committee, as deemed necessary to support implementation of this Complete Streets policy by the City of Emeryville.
As required by the above policy section, the City of Emeryville Complete Streets Stakeholder Process is as follows:
The Stakeholder Process for the City of Emeryville exists in order to ensure multiple opportunities for public input in the process of designing, building and maintaining the public right of way and access to all forms of transportation that travel on it.
The City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) reviews larger development projects on both private and public property while still in the design phase. In the case of a private development, comments from the BPAC are incorporated into the staff report describing the project to the decision making body. In the case of a public project, the Public Works department presents directly to the BPAC and carries its recommendations to the Transportation Committee, where they are forwarded to the City Council for final approval. Both the BPAC and the Transportation Committee are public committees that meet monthly at the Emeryville Civic Center and are open to all members of the public.
In addition to this, every major private development requiring Planning Commission or City Council review is noticed to the surrounding property owners and residents within a 300 foot buffer of the project. The City also issues to subscribers a weekly list of streets and sidewalks closed for construction, in order to facilitate up to date trip planning for all modes.

Community Engagement
Purpose: This chapter presents an overview of the outreach and public engagement strategies used in the plan, a summary of all outreach activities, and a summary of the feedback received.
Why it matters: Gathering input from a diversity of community voices centers this Plan on the challenges that are most pressing.
Engaging the Emeryville community
is a core component of the Active
Transportation Plan’s efforts to understand
biking, walking, and rolling needs
throughout the city. Since the project kicked
off in December 2020, a variety of outreach
opportunities were used to seek input from
a diverse range of Emeryville’s residents,
workers, and community members.
Participants in a bike tour survey various bicycling
facilities in Emeryville.

TOURS
Walking Tour
June 22, 2021
The walking tour explored routes in the
northern half of the city and included stops
on Hollis Street, Christie Park, Powell
Street, and the Emeryville Greenway.
Participants found Hollis Street and
Shellmound Street by the Emeryville Public
Market to be the least stressful routes
on the tour, while the segment of Powell
Street east of the train tracks and under
the freeway was most stressful. Overall,
participants expressed a preference for
wide sidewalks, art, trees and greenery,
areas with a density of businesses and
destinations, and automatic pedestrian
recall. Areas of concern for participants
included difficulty crossing the train tracks
(including issues with the elevator being out
of service or in a state of uncleanliness),
not feeling safe while crossing the Christie
Ave/Powell St intersection, and vehicle
encroachment on the sidewalk on the
north side of Powell Street and on the
west side of Christie Ave near the FedEx.
Suggestions for improvement included a
diagonal connection across the Powell/
Hollis intersection to accommodate
greenway traffic, improving the signage and
crosswalks directing people to the Powell
Street pedestrian bridge, striping a diagonal
crossing at the Shellmound/Christie Ave
intersection, and implementing more
leading pedestrian intervals.

Rolling Tour
June 26, 2021
The Bicycle Tour explored routes across
the city and included stops on Adeline
Street, Shellmound Street, Christie Park,
the Emeryville Greenway, Hollis Street, and
Park Street. The least stressful routes on
the tour included the Emeryville Greenway,
Doyle Street, Horton Street, and Adeline
Street. The most stressful portions of the
tour included 40th Street, Powell Street,
Christie Ave, and San Pablo. Elements
of the tour that the participants enjoyed
included smooth pavement, wide bike
lanes, green painted conflict zones and bike
lanes, the two-way cycletrack on Christie
Ave, art, lighting, the Emeryville Greenway,
the Doyle Street Greenway (including
the sharrow with a parent and child),
traffic calming, and automatic RRFBs.
Participants did not like broken glass in
the bike lane/on bike routes, bicycling on
streets with fast-moving traffic, narrow
bike lanes on 40th Street, vehicles doubleparked in the bike lane, trash along bike lanes, “Bikes May Share Lane” signage,
traffic signals failing to detect bicycles,
and unsafe conditions on San Pablo Ave.
Suggestions for improvement included
a protected bike lane on the 40th Street
overpass, improved signage and wayfinding
for the Bay Trail bike route, and street signs
at greenway intersections.
Participants on the Rolling Tour explored a range of
bikeway facility types.

YOUTH OUTREACH
Summer Camp
August 3, 2021
The project team brought arts and crafts
items for 30 Emeryville “REC” Summer
campers (ages 6-14) to engage in two
activities over 90 minutes.
Activity 1: Youth designed their favorite
mode of transportation (real or imaginary).
This warm-up activity helped uncover if
walking, biking, or rolling were seen as
recreational activities or as a way to move
around Emeryville or surrounding areas
with their family and friends. Feedback
included sports cars, bicycles, and creative
ideas like a hot air balloon, riding a giant
frog, and putting on rocket-powered roller
skates.
Activity 2: Youth designed their ideal
street.
This activity revealed ways youth want their
streets to better serve them. Feedback
included more recreational activities like
pools and ice cream vendors closer to their
homes and bigger homes. One student,
injured while biking across Vallejo Street,
described the need for more marked
crosswalks and slower drivers.
Participants drew pictures related to active
transportation.
A-24 | COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
EMERYVILLE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN
ONLINE ENGAGEMENT AND
PROMOTION
Online engagement was an important
component of the planning process. In
order to reach a wider audience and give
community members the opportunity to
provide feedback on their own time and
schedule, the project team distributed an
online survey and collected feedback via an
online web map. The survey was available
in English and Spanish and promoted by
sending out 19,000 bilingual postcards to
every residential and business address
in the city. The City installed 20 bilingual
sidewalk decals around town. The project
team hand delivered bilingual flyers to
retail businesses, hotels, and restaurants.
Social media advertisements in English
and Spanish were placed on Facebook,
Instagram, and Google. The City also
publicized the survey and community
meetings through its website and email
lists.
Phase 1
Online Survey
848 members of the Emeryville community
participated in the online survey. The 25
question survey was made available online
and promoted at community workshops and
on social media. The survey inquired about
the respondent’s experiences biking and
rolling in Emeryville today.
Key findings from the survey include:
Top walking concerns:
⊲ Destinations are too far to walk.
⊲ Walking is tough when carrying things.
⊲ Perceived danger of walking at night.
The project website provided details on how to get involved with the planning process and opportunities to provide feedback on biking, walking, and rolling in Emeryville.
A-25 | COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
EMERYVILLE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN
Top rolling and biking concerns:
⊲ People driving too fast.
⊲ Bikeways not connecting to the
destinations people are trying to go to.
⊲ Lack of access to a bike or rolling
device.
Online Web Map
An online map available on the project’s
website provided an opportunity for
community members to identify barriers
to walking and rolling, places they would
like to walk or roll to, and routes in need
of improvements. 595 points were added
to the online map including 114 comments
and 2,193 votes on others’ suggestions.
Several geographic themes emerged from
the web map feedback. Popular biking,
walking, and rolling destinations include the
Emeryville Marina, Shoreline Park, Amtrak
Station, Doyle Slow Street, Emeryville
Greenway, Berkeley Bowl, Emeryville
Public Market, Bay Street Shopping, and
Powell Street Plaza (Map 15). Low-stress
connectivity to these areas will play
a key role in the development of
recommendations in this plan. The
web map feedback also revealed barriers
to people walking and rolling including San
Pablo Avenue, 40th Street, Hollis Street
north of Powell Street, Bay Trail access
points at arterial intersections, and Powell
Street (Map 16). Lastly, routes identified as
“in need of improvement” include the
marina access on Powell Street west of
I-80 and San Pablo Avenue.
Phase 2
Online Web Map
An update to the online map following the
development of recommendations allowed
community members to like, dislike, and
comment on the proposed infrastructure
projects. A total of 885 likes were added
to the proposed projects on the map.
44 proposed projects received comments.

EMERYVILLE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN
The City of Emeryville is a community where active, sustainable transportation is the easy choice: it is safe, comfortable, equitable, and accessible to all. The continuous, connected network of world-class facilities eliminates the necessity of driving a car and makes active transportation accessible to people of all identities (race, ethnicity, age, gender, socio-economic status, ability, or orientation). The City promotes active travel through education and encouragement programs. The City inspires other communities with its visionary and forward-thinking commitment to active transportation.
