Design Revisions Narrative
Based on feedback from the Neighborhood Meeting, the Peer Review, the Planning Commission, the Complete Streets Commission, and the City Council several revisions were made to the design of the project.

Starting at the main corner of the building at the intersection of Whitney and First Street the main building walls of the upper floors and lower floors were shifted out of plane to create a more significant visual step-back of the upper floor. As you proceed down Whitney the massing was reduced at the upper floors and a full wall plane setback was introduced with a wood siding element. This not only reduced the massing in this area, it created more of a defined element at the corner of the upper floors. This was also accentuated by the revised design of the cornice and the reduced depth of that detail. Proceeding further down Whitney the massing was further reduced by removing some of the building elements and creating a wider, full height, building inset with wood detailing. Finally, the corner of Whitney and the alley was accented with a similar corner detail to the one at the corner of Whitney and First Street.

When looking down First Street from the corner you see a similar inset wall plane at the upper floors that reduces the massing in that area as well as creating the more defined corner element at the upper floors. In addition the large lower floor wood massing was broken down into two smaller pieces which provide a building inset along the lower floors. As we move further down First Street a much wider, full height, building inset was created to further reduce the massing and break the overall building down into smaller components. Finally the southeast corner of the building was treated with a similar detail to the corner of Whitney and First Street both at the lower floors and the upper floors.

In addition to the massing revisions noted above some of the building details were revised including the window patterns, the balcony railing designs, and the cornice details. In regards to interior building details the major revisions were at the bicycle storage and the EV charging stations. The EV charging stations were confirmed to be Level 2 chargers, and will include an energy management system. In case the technology improves by the time of construction, we will target Level 2 chargers, or their equivalent or better. The bicycle storage was totally reconfigured with a secure bike room configured on the First Floor. The bike room provides individual racks for up to 65 bikes with each rack including a power outlet for e-bikes. This configuration allows easy retrieval of bikes without venturing into the basement and easy access to the exterior via the rear exit door which is in close proximity to the bike room entrance.

We believe this will be a very positive feature of a pedestrian friendly building. 666

I am strongly opposed to the construction of a FOUR story building at this location.

There are so many large condo buildings on 1st street, that the street is more of a tunnel than a welcoming entrance to downtown Los Altos.

All the condo buildings have taken away retail shops and small offices. Again, changing the flavor of downtown Los Altos.

Such large structures block the afternoon sun from many buildings.

Please do not allow this building.

Re: Distribution of Inclusionary Units in 355 First Street.

Dear Mayor Enander and City Council,
The size distribution of inclusionary units in 355 First Street does not follow Los Altos’ ordinance requiring that inclusionary units “shall not be significantly distinguishable by size” from the market rate units. On average, the inclusionary units are much smaller. As shown by this graph, the below market (BMR) units are mostly one and two bedroom units, whereas the market rate units are mostly two and three bedroom units.

Chart
If the units were distributed as follows:

Unit size All BMR Very Low Moderate
Studio 0 0 0
1 BR 1 0 1
2 BR 4 2 2
3 BR 2 1 1
then the market rate units and the below market units would have similar size distributions, as follows, which would be in conformance with our ordinance. 711

City Council- my comments with regard 355 First Street project:

Is it better than the version you reviewed on February 8th ? Really no. Is it worse? Perhaps. Have the key items that can and should be addressed been fixed? Nope.

While some in the community may plead for you to approve this project as we need more housing in our City and the City attorney may warn you that not approving it risks a lawsuit, those arguments are not valid reasons to approve this project. This project is flawed and should be denied. Most of the legitimate issues raised at the last council meeting have been ignored-the applicant is basically daring you to deny the project. Deny it.

What is wrong with this project:

1. The design does not minimize mass and bulk. The revised exterior wood cladding actually increased the mass and bulk at Whitney and First and further emphases that corner. It also fails to minimize the focal point being at Whitney and First, which was one of the city council objections. The condition of approval of having the Community Development Director work with the applicant to remedy planning commission and city council objections is unacceptable.

2. The right side of the building has windows and balconies that are 3 feet from the property line. Another building will get constructed and it will render those balconies and windows essentially useless for air and light. And it will create privacy issues. There should be no windows or balconies on the right side of the building unless the building façade has a more generous setback from the property line.

3. The courtyard is nothing more than a light well in the center of the building. It is a joketenement buildings on the lower east side of New York provided more light and air than what is being provided here.

4. The entrance is not human scale. It can and should be modified to be human scale. This alone is basis for denial of this project. It is irrelevant if the applicant thinks the current design is the most pleasing. It has to be of human scale. End of discussion

5. While extending the lower floors to give the upper floors a greater perception of setback is a clever trick, it does not address the fundamental problem. There already is minimal setback from the street, so the lower floors should not be allowed to be extended out. Doing this does not reduce the appearance of mass and bulk, despite what staff and applicant profess.

6. Adding another BMR unit, while good, does not address the fundamental issue that we require BMR units to be spread out within a building. Take the additional BMR unit, but enforce our requirement.

7. It is sheer nonsense that the roof deck is necessary for the project to be feasible. A well designed courtyard would provide a far more appealing and useful amenity. All the roof deck does is add additional height, mass and bulk to the building.

8. The overall design as well as individual elements such as balcony railings and windows continue to give the building an industrial look, not a residential feel compatible with surrounding buildings.

I am not against more well-designed housing along First Street. This project as currently proposed 713

Re: Council Meeting June 28, 2022, Item #11 – 355 First Street Dear Mayor Enander and Members of the City Council:

As we stated in February, the League of Women Voters supports urban infill developments such as the proposed 355 First Street complex. Its additional 50 residential units will help us reach our RHNA goals in a way that fulfills the Downtown Vision. The project is recommended by both the Complete Streets Commission and the Planning Commission.

However, we do not agree with the Staff that the BMR unit mix reflects the bedroom mix of the entire project. Out of nine studio and one-bedroom units, four are proposed as BMRs, while out of a total of forty-one two and three-bedroom units, only three are proposed to be BMRs. We would like this discrepancy to be corrected, along with relocating the BMRs— per Staff’s direction.

The Housing Element includes programs to reduce constraints on housing development. This project reflects the slow and inconsistent approval process that many developers have complained about. In addition, 355 First Street reinforces the importance of Council and Planning Commission considering only objective standards. The City Attorney pointed out that much of the Council direction on February 8th was not legally permissible and that many of the Council comments were clearly subjective and should be eliminated under the new Housing Element. Some examples of this include:
#13 “building appears to be the least pleasant of all the buildings approved on First Street” #14 “building design is uninviting”
#16 “make the entries warm, inviting, village-like and make it Los Altos” (Please send comments related to this letter to

[Addressee TBD upon assignment by Senate Rules Committee] RE: AB 1944 (Lee): Brown Act Modernization
SUPPORT IF AMENDED (As amended 5/25/22)
The City of Los Altos supports AB 1944, as amended. AB 1944 aims to modernize the Brown Act by giving local legislative bodies the option to waive the requirement that its members who are appearing virtually from a remote location need to publish their private address on the public meeting agenda. AB 1944 also requires a remote participation option for members of the public to address the body.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-29-20 that allowed officials of local agencies to appear remotely without having to disclose their private addresses. In 2021, Assemblymember Rivas’s Bill 361 further allowed local agencies to continue to meet virtually during a state-declared emergency without having to meet the quorum and other requirements of teleconference meetings under the Brown Act. Our city council has taken advantage of AB 361 and continues to meet virtually.
[DELETE THE FOLLOWING ORIGINAL PARAGRAPH AND REPLACE WITH NEW TERMINAL PARAGRAPH BASED ON MAY AMENDMENT]
[ORIGINAL] The City of Los Altos recommends that AB 1944 be amended to require local legislative bodies, which opt to waive the requirement, have its members who are appearing virtually from a remote location provide the legislative body with the address of the remote location. The legislative body would be required not to make the address public. We support this amendment to ensure that members who are appearing virtually from a remote location are participating within the jurisdiction, thus avoiding any potential abuse of the flexibility that AB 1944 provides. This amendment further makes it easier to enforce compliance with the Brown Act quorum requirement. Therefore, the City of Los Altos supports AB 1944 with that amendment.]
[NEW] The amendments made May 25, 2022, address the concerns previously expressed. The current language, which requires a physical quorum while allowing remote participation without necessitating that the member disclose their physical address, resolves the issues we previously raised while maintaining compliance with the Brown Act quorum requirement.

Anita Enander

The Honorable Scott Wiener
Chair, Senate Housing Committee
1021 O Street, Room 3330
Sacramento, CA 95814
Dear Senator Wiener:

Re: AB 2011 (Wicks) Affordable Housing and High Road Jobs Act of 2022 NOTICE OF OPPOSITION (As amended 5/11/22)
The City of Los Altos joins the League of California Cities (Cal Cities) in respectfully opposing AB 2011, which would require cities to ministerially approve, without condition or discretion, certain affordable housing and mixed-use housing developments in zones where office, retail, or parking are a principally permitted use regardless of any inconsistency with a local government’s general plan, specific plan, zoning ordinance, or regulation.

Housing affordability and homelessness are among the most critical issues facing California cities. Affordably priced homes are out of reach for many people, and housing is not being built fast enough to meet the current or projected needs of people living in the state. Cities lay the essential groundwork for housing production through planning and zoning new projects in their communities based on extensive public input and engagement, state housing laws, and the needs of the building industry. Importantly, cities are currently updating housing plans to identify sites for more than two million additional housing units.

AB 2011 disregards this state-mandated local planning effort and forces cities to allow housing developments in nearly all areas of a city. This seriously questions the rationale for the regional housing needs allocation (RHNA) process. If developers can build housing in office, retail, and parking areas, why should cities go through the multiyear planning process to identify sites suitable for new housing units, only to have those plans ignored and housing built on sites never considered for new housing?
Less than 5% of the land area in the City of Los Altos is currently devoted to commercial and retail use. These areas provide critical retail (especially grocery) within walkable distances to every neighborhood. Nevertheless, we have judiciously identified commercial areas that could accommodate mixed use and multi-family housing while retaining walkability. This bill would potentially negate those efforts.

Eliminating opportunities for public review of housing developments goes against the principles of transparency and public engagement. Public hearings allow members of the community to inform their representatives of their support or concerns. “Streamlining” in the context of AB 2011 is a shortcut around public input. While it may be frustrating for some developers to address neighborhood concerns about traffic, parking, and other development impacts, those directly affected by such projects should be heard. Public engagement often leads to better projects.

Developers for projects that we have approved in recent years have uniformly stated that the Planning Commission and public review have resulted in better projects. Disregarding community input will increase public distrust in government and may result in additional efforts by voters to restrict growth.

The City of Los Altos is committed to being part of the solution to the housing shortfall across all income levels and will work collaboratively with you and other stakeholders on legislative 721
Agenda Item # 13.
proposals that will spur much needed housing construction without disregarding the statemandated local planning process and important public engagement.

For these reasons, the City of Los Altos of opposes AB 2011.

Anita Enander

[Amended from original to reflect single amendment that eliminates “public transit corridors”] [Addressee TBD upon assignment by Senate Rules Committee] RE: AB 2097 (Friedman): Residential and Commercial Development. Parking Requirements.

NOTICE OF OPPOSITION (As amended 5/19/22)
The City of Los Altos joins the League of California Cities (Cal Cities) in respectfully opposing your measure Assembly Bill 2097, which would prohibit a local government from imposing or enforcing a minimum automobile parking requirement on residential, commercial, or other developments, without regard to the development size, if the development is located on a parcel within one-half mile of public transit.

The amendment to eliminate applicability to high-frequency transit routes improves but does not eliminate the problems with the bill. AB 2097 would essentially allow developers to dictate parking requirements in areas within ½ mile of current major transit stops. This does not guarantee individuals living, working, or shopping on those parcels will actually use transit.

Many residents will continue to own automobiles and require nearby parking, which will only increase parking demand, displace parking to adjacent neighborhoods, and increase congestion.

AB 2097 would give both developers and transit agencies, who are unaccountable to local voters, the power to determine parking requirements. Transit agencies would be able to dramatically alter local parking standards by shifting transit routes and adjusting service intervals.

Additionally, AB 2097 could negatively impact the State’s Density Bonus Law by providing developers parking concessions without also requiring developers to include affordable housing units in the project. The purpose of the Density Bonus Law is to provide concessions and waivers to developers in exchange for affordable housing units.

While AB 2097 may be well intended, parking requirements are most appropriately established at the local level based on community needs. A one-size fits all approach to an issue that is project specific just does not work. For these reasons, the City of Los Altos opposes AB 2097.

Sincerely,
Anita Enander
Mayor, City of Los Altos

Dear Senator Gonzalez:

AB 2181 (Berman) Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority: board of directors.

NOTICE OF OPPOSITION (As amended 5/2/22)
The City of Los Altos respectfully opposes AB 2181. We concur with Assembly member Berman’s concern that the Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) Governance structure should provide the most effective policy and oversight leadership possible for this critical transportation agency.

A complete change to the governance structure as proposed in AB 2181 would have far reaching implications and long-lasting effects on the delivery of transit and transportation in Santa Clara County. On behalf of our community, we must make sure any legislated change to the Board structure is an effective change, which, regrettably, AB 2181 is not.

The total re-structuring of the VTA Board of Directors under AB 2181 would eliminate the role of elected representatives from certain jurisdictions, leaving no representatives – who are accountable to residents – to convey and represent their city’s priorities and concerns.

Elected city officials provide critical experience and knowledge of local transit and transportation concerns, land use and policy making. Mayors and council members understand and implement land-use decisions that enhance VTA’s transit service planning as well. But more particularly for small cities like Los Altos, AB 2181 would greatly reduce our ability to meaningfully represent the interests of our city within the context of regional needs. AB 2181 would seriously undermine this principle of local representation. The Legislature has chosen to link a number of housing bills and parking requirements for multi-family developments to the availability of local transit. Under AB 2181, jurisdictions seeking to meet housing goals, that both depend on and are affected by transit, would be excluded from participating in VTA governance, with potentially profound adverse effects.

VTA’s Board Enhancement Committee and the Governance and Audit Committee have worked effectively since 2019 on dozens of improvements to the governance of VTA and the process for recruiting and retaining engaged and knowledgeable Board members. Los Altos has diligently participated in and supported these efforts, and VTA’s governance has been improved through these changes. Additional potential improvements are undergoing careful evaluation, consistent with an open process that involves all affected jurisdictions.

The future carries a double responsibility for the VTA Board, as public transportation has the huge challenge of recovering from the impacts of the pandemic and providing service to help Santa Clara County and the state reduce GHG emissions by moving people from singleoccupancy vehicles to transit. This bill is not a good solution to these challenges, especially as there has been insufficient engagement with the Santa Clara County community and the member cities like Los Altos that would be most directly affected.

The City of Los Altos therefore must oppose AB 2181.

Dear Assembly Member Wicks:

Senate Bill 897 (Wieckowski): Accessory dwelling units: junior accessory dwelling units.

NOTICE OF OPPOSITION (As amended 5/19/22)
The City of Los Altos joins the League of California Cities (Cal Cities) in regrettably taking an “oppose” position on your Senate Bill 897, which would significantly amend the statewide standards that apply to locally adopted ordinances concerning the construction of accessory dwelling units (ADUs), even though the law has been substantially amended nearly every year since 2016.

Specifically, SB 897 would require local jurisdictions to:
• Allow ADUs to be constructed with a height of up to 25 feet. Current law appropriately authorizes cities and counties to restrict ADU height to 16 feet, thus helping ensure that these accessory units blend into the existing neighborhood. Mandating that local jurisdictions allow essentially two-story ADUs, even if limited to residential neighborhoods near transit, is completely contrary to the stated belief that ADUs are a way to increase density in a modest fashion that is not disruptive to established communities. Shoehorning a 25-foot structure into a backyard of a single-story ranch style home calls to question the idea that these are “accessory dwelling units.”
• Permit constructed ADUs in violation of State building standards and in violation of local zoning requirements. Current law already requires cities and counties to approve ADUs ministerially, without discretionary review. Expanding this to prohibit local jurisdictions from denying permits for already constructed ADUs that fail to comply with State mandated building standards or local zoning requirements could result in dangerous or substandard living conditions. • Allow two ADUs to be constructed on a lot if a multifamily dwelling is proposed to be developed. SB 897 would allow a property owner to construct two ADUs on a vacant parcel years before the proposed multifamily structure begins construction. Additionally, there is no guarantee that the multifamily structure will ever be constructed. It is unclear why local jurisdictions should be forced to allow ADUs to be constructed before the originally proposed multifamily structure. Constructing an ADU without a primary structure makes them accessory to nothing, but rather a standalone unit.

For these reasons, the City of Los Altos opposes SB 897.

Sincerely,
Anita Enander
Mayor, City of Los Altos

Dear Assembly Member Rivas:

RE: SB 922 (Wiener) California Environmental Quality Act: Exemption: transportation Related Projects
NOTICE OF SUPPORT (As Amended 5/11/22)
The City of Los Altos write in support of SB 922 to help transit agencies and local governments build active and sustainable transportation projects that will create a safer, healthier, and more equitable future for all Californians. The author’s previous bill (SB 288) temporarily exempted from CEQA certain clean transportation projects. Under current law, these CEQA exemptions sunset on January 1, 2023.

SB 922 would eliminate the sunset and provide greater clarity about how to use the exemption and which types of projects are eligible for exemption. SB 922 would streamline CEQA with targeted statutory exemptions for transit and active transportation projects that significantly advance the state’s climate, safety, and health goals.

We favor the criteria required in the bill that the community be meaningfully engaged in shaping projects to require that they benefit residents. The racial equity analysis and residential displacement risk analysis are particularly significant.

SB 922 helps ensure that transportation spending aligns with the state’s policy goals while benefitting communities. For these reasons, the City of Los Altos is pleased to support SB 922.

Sincerely,
Anita Enander

Dear Assembly Member Aguiar-Curry:

Senate Bill 932 (Portantino): General plans, circulation element NOTICE OF OPPOSITION UNLESS AMENDED (As amended 5/4/22) Dear Chair Portantino:

The City of Los Altos joins the League of California Cities (Cal Cities) in regrettably taking an “oppose unless amended” position on your Senate Bill 932. SB 932 would make significant, unprecedented, and overly prescriptive changes to the requirements of the circulation element of local general plans; impost costly, unfunded mandates for changes to local transportation infrastructure; and expose local governments to significant legal liability.

The City of Los Altos has taken a pro-active approach to meeting the important goals of this bill:
to make streets and roads safer for all users. With impetus from Los Altos, a safe-routes-to school infrastructure project is underway along Homestead Road that transects rights-of-way in the city of Los Altos, County of Santa Clara, City of Cupertino, and City of Sunnyvale and will integrate those new paths with local streets. After Los Altos brought all stakeholders together (the above jurisdictions plus two school districts), the County was persuaded to fund and complete the initial planning phase to help build consensus on a unified vision. Following a two-year period of awaiting appropriate grant fund opportunities, the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Agency took the lead in developing and securing grant fund sources for the design and environmental phases of the project. Grant funding for the construction phases of the project are still unidentified. This project continues to require considerable interagency coordination as part of the design, but the result will be a significant improvement in safe, shared use for students who live in one city but attend school in another. This is just one example of critical projects that require flexibility and quick response to the opportunities to work across multiple jurisdictions to improve bicycle and pedestrian safety. They cannot be achieved through a top-down approach that dictates the type of improvements and timing for implementation when multiple jurisdictions are involved.

We are nearing completion of a new Complete Streets Master Plan that integrates improved bicycle/pedestrian paths and safety with routine street maintenance and sets out a long-term plan for making our streets more available to and safer for all users. Much of the plan remains unfunded, despite planned use of state funding from sources such SB-1, Block Grants, gas tax, and other County return-to-fund sources. The requirements of SB 932 are likely even to exceed the ambitious plan we have just developed; without any additional revenue sources, SB 932 will place even greater strain on limited City resources.

We note that cities that have made safety a priority and that have virtually no fatalities would be penalized under 65302(b)(2)(ii)(III) because the already excellent safety record would not allow 729
Agenda Item # 13.
for the reductions that are needed to be granted a 10-year extension of time to implement the provisions of SB 932. This is probably unintended and could perhaps be corrected through amendment.

Our city faces significant tradeoffs in prioritizing competing needs for roadway maintenance and improvements. The loss of employees during COVID, escalating costs for materials, and problems with supply chains are all impediments to be overcome. The circulation element must continue to provide flexibility as to the type of transportation improvements warranted in specific contexts, and any timelines for implementation must be developed in consideration of realistically available financial resources. We note that there is significant pressure from the legislature for local agencies to reduce, eliminate or defer development impact fees, which are among the few sources of revenue the small cities need to implement the provisions of this bill.

Finally, SB 932 creates significant new legal liability for local jurisdictions in Santa Clara County that fail to meet the bill’s arbitrary implementation timeframes. In addition to the funding constraints and issues discussed above, the new private right of action created by SB 932 will be counter-productive to making progress on improving our local streets. Simply put, every additional dollar that goes toward defending against litigation is one fewer dollar available for improving our local streets and roads. Section 65302(b)(2)B)(iii) must be removed from the bill for our city to remove opposition to SB 932.

The following would allow us to remove our OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED position.

1. Remove the uniform, top-down mandates as to project type and timing.

2. Allow for flexibility in projects that cross jurisdictions.

3. Identify new funding sources for any new mandate.

4. Remove entirely the proposed new cause of action liability (we note the currently amended version imposes a time limit on its application, but the entire concept is problematic).

5. Eliminate the perhaps unintended penalties of 65302(b)(2)(ii)(III), as described above.

Anita Enander

Re: AB 2181 (Berman) OPPOSE
Dear Mayor and Councilmembers and Board of Supervisors of the County of Santa Clara, Per action taken by the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) Board of Directors on June 2, 2022, I respectfully request your jurisdiction to consider opposing Assembly Bill 2181. Please see the attached letter on behalf of the Board indicating VTA’s opposition.

VTA remains committed to implementing governance reforms initiated by the VTA Board in 2019.

Thank you for your consideration and support of public transportation in Santa Clara County.

Re: AB 2181 (Berman) OPPOSE
Dear Assemblymember Berman,
On behalf of the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA), I respectfully submit the Board of Directors’ opposition to Assembly Bill 2181. We appreciate and commend your efforts to reform local governance in Santa Clara County and agree that our organization, like any other, has areas in which it can certainly improve. However, we found that these proposed changes to the structure of the VTA Board of Directors in AB 2181 will undermine this policy making and oversight body as well as diminish our chances of successfully passing future local sales tax measures. These measures represent more than 63 percent of the funding for the day to day services VTA and its workforce provide. They would further weaken our position in competition for federal, state and regional funds.

AB 2181 would reduce the number of local elected officials on the VTA Board through a complex process to select city group representatives. The replacement of the Board with the proposed hybrid structure will limit the role of local elected officials who make the land use decisions that ultimately determine the transportation needs in the county. These local elected officials bring experience providing policy direction and oversight of the services VTA provides to the many jurisdictions within the county, the pay and benefits workers receive and their pensions. These local elected officials are vital to ensuring that cities’ priorities are represented in transportation sales tax measures and ensuring city council support.

With these concerns in mind, the VTA Board voted unanimously to oppose AB 2181 on June 2, 2022. When we voted, we made clear that VTA is not opposed to improvements and pledged to complete the reforms developed by the Board Enhancement Committee in a thoughtful process that began in 2019.

Thank you for your leadership, consideration and service to our community. We look forward to continuing to work with you on future transportation policies, projects and services.

Senate Bill 932 (Portantino): General plans, circulation element

OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED
Dear Senator Portantino:

SB 932 would make significant, unprecedented, and overly prescriptive changes to the requirements of the circulation element of local general plans; impost costly, unfunded mandates for changes to local transportation infrastructure; and expose local governments to significant legal liability.

The City of Los Altos has taken a pro-active approach to meeting the important goals of this bill: to make streets and roads safer for all users. We have partnered with the County of Santa Clara in designing new bike paths along the section of Foothill Expressway that transects the city of Los Altos and integrated those new paths with local streets. This required considerable interagency coordination, but the result is a significant improvement in safe, shared use. In another project, we partnered with the County and with the City of Cupertino to design comprehensive pedestrian and bicycle paths to schools that cross all three jurisdictions. These are the types of critical projects that require flexibility and quick response to the opportunities to work across multiple jurisdictions to improve bicycle and pedestrian safety. They cannot be achieved through a top-down approach that dictates the type of improvements and timing for implementation when multiple jurisdictions are involved.

Most recently we completed a new Complete Streets Master Plan that codifies the integration of improved bicycle/pedestrian paths and safety with routine street maintenance and sets out a long-term plan for making our streets more available to and safer for all users. Unfortunately, the plan will require funding of at least $44Million (today’s dollars). Much of the plan remains unfunded, despite planned 734

use of SB 1, Block Grants, fuel tax, and other revenue sources. The requirements of SB 932 are likely even to exceed the ambitious plan we have just developed.
