Travel Safe Richmond
In 2021 the City embarked in a two-pronged approach to improving safety for all roadway users. Travel Safe Richmond, as the initiative was named, included a Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) and a complementary Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan (BPAP). Both components of Travel Safe Richmond work together to create unified policies and infrastructure recommendations for improving roadway safety and comfort for roadway users of all ages and abilities. This chapter describes those efforts and details how the Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan was developed.

The BPAP covers: 1) an introduction to the plan and process, 2) an overview of community engagement, 3) bicycle project recommendations, 4) pedestrian project recommendations, and 5) directions for implementation. Additionally, the appendices include an update to the City’s bicycle facility design guidelines and a list of available sources of funding to jump-start the implementation progress.

Local Roadway Safety Plan Vision and Goals
Traffic safety impacts the health and comfort of all who live and travel in Richmond. The City of Richmond’s Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) identified traffic safety trends and developed systemic recom - mendations to fund and implement infrastructure countermeasure to help address safety issues. Implementing the LRSP is a step toward making Richmond’s transportation network safer and more equitable for all users.

The LRSP’s primary goals included:
• R
educe fatal and serious injury collisions
• En
sure equitable traffic safety investments in the neighborhoods that need them most
• S
upport safe travel for people walking and biking, especially near schools and other high-demand areas
• E
ncourage safe driving through roadway design and outreach • P
repare for the future with climate-resilient transportation safety infrastructure
• I
mprove emergency vehicle response and access
The Richmond City Council adopted the Local Roadway Safety Plan on July 19, 2022. The recommendations from the LRSP have been incorporated into the BPAP’s recommendations.

The City of Richmond Local Road Safety Plan, adopted July 2022.

3 Introduction
Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan

Page 170 of 327 ends

The Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
(BPAP) works toward building a balanced
transportation system that is safe,
comfortable, and accessible for all users
with a focus on improving conditions for
people walking, biking, and rolling (i.e., on
wheelchairs, skateboards, scooters, and
other emerging micromobility options).

The Plan lays out a strategy to develop
comprehensive bicycling and walking
networks that provide access to transit,
schools, parks, trails, downtown, and other
community destinations. As part of this
effort, the City developed a set of project
recommendations based on thorough
needs analysis and community engagement
processes. The BPAP serves as the blueprint
for improving walking and bicycling
conditions in Richmond for the next five
years. The document presents a short-term
set of actions and projects recognizing that
funding and resources will incrementally
build upon these improvements over time.

The document also provides a plan to
ensure implementation is manageable and
fundable. Input from City stakeholders and
community members played a critical role in
the development of this plan.

This BPAP consolidates safety
recommendations derived from the LRSP
and other past planning efforts including
corridor plans and studies, to provide
comprehensive near-term bicycle and
pedestrian infrastructure improvements. It
is the hope of the City that the proposed
improvements will make walking, biking,
rolling, transit access, and driving throughout
Richmond safer, easier, and more practical.

Goals for the Bicycle and Pedestrian Action
Plan included:
• D
evelop a list of near-term (1-5 year)
infrastructure projects focusing on
bicycle and pedestrian safety and
comfort.
• De
velop a recommended bicycle and
pedestrian networks that build on
Richmond’s existing assets and focus
on closing existing gaps.
• De
velop a general set of design
guidelines for implementing new or
improved bicycle facilities and off-street
paths (Appendix B) .
• De
velop an implementation strategy
that identifies potential funding
opportunities and applies those to each
project ( Appendix C).

Making Streets Safe
for All Users
Natural and infrastructure barriers (ex.
water features, railroads, highways) can
limit connectivity, alter travel behavior, and
directly affect modal access. To understand
how safely and comfortably residents are
able to access important neighborhood
destinations using low-stress routes, as
well as to understand deficiencies in the
network for people biking and walking,
the study team completed a demand
analysis. The project team then overlaid
these high-demand areas with collision
density to better comprehend where
safety improvements could benefit the
most people. By understanding these
deficiencies and barriers, the project team
developed recommendations for providing
safe and convenient access to community
destinations and activity centers, both vital
elements to the physical and mental well-
being of community members.

The project team also embarked on an
analysis of collision data to understand
where and how collisions were happening
throughout the City. Using available data
from the University of California Berkeley
Transportation Injury Mapping System
(TIMS) for the antecedent five years (2015-
2019), the project team identified where
bicycle or pedestrian collisions occurred in
Richmond. Several corridors exhibited a high
concentration of pedestrian/bicycle-involved
collisions. The LRSP identified corridors with
elevated collision levels and grouped them
to create a multimodal high-injury network,
shown in Figure 1 .

Past Efforts Focused
on Making City Streets Safer
Over the past several years, the City has
developed numerous citywide plans that
set safety-focused policies and goals.

Richmond has also advanced corridor
plans that include multimodal access
and safety recommendations for specific
corridors, as well as area plans that
prioritize improvements across broader
regions. The Contra Costa Transportation
Authority (CCTA) has also developed and
begun implementing countywide plans that
support the City of Richmond’s efforts and
work towards unified regional connectivity
at the county level. In general, many of the
documents reviewed for the development
of this plan emphasize the need for a
transportation system that supports safe,
comfortable, and equitable transportation
networks for vulnerable users (e.g., people
walking, biking, and rolling – especially
youth, seniors, and those with limited
physical mobility or limited mobility options). A Richmond resident biking through a protected intersection on Central Avenue. 5 Introduction

Major themes throughout the documents
reviewed included:
• N
eed for improving safety and comfort
of all users
• N
eed for improving connectivity and
access to multimodal transportation
networks under a more equitable
approach
• N
eed to enhance connectivity to
neighboring jurisdictions
• N
eed to standardize implementation
of Active Transportation facilities and
networks
• N
eed to improve quality of life by
focusing on improving health (personal,
environmental, and economic)
• C
ommitment to encourage and
promote walking and bicycling as
viable modes of transportation
The recommendations included in this
document consider these key themes and
the previous infrastructure recommendations
made in the plans reviewed. Additional
information about the plans reviewed can be
found in Appendix A .

Health and Equity
Historically disadvantaged and vulnerable
populations may rely more on walking
and bicycling to meet daily needs. Safe,
healthy, affordable, and convenient
transportation options are not always
available to the disadvantaged populations
that need them most. These low-income
and unserved communities have historically
been left out of past conversations about
transportation and planning, leading to
systemic underinvestment and conditions
where pedestrians and bicyclists are
over-represented in collisions. A lack of
high-quality walking, biking, and transit
infrastructure can result in long, unhealthy,
unaffordable, and riskier (people bicycling
and walking are overrepresented in
collisions) travel for some of Richmond’s
most vulnerable populations.

Uneven distribution of active transportation
infrastructure also results in health, safety,
mobility, and economic benefits accruing
to those who are more socio-economically
fortunate while increasing hardships
for Richmond’s most vulnerable and
disadvantaged populations.

By prioritizing active transportation
infrastructure for these disadvantaged
populations, more Richmond residents will
be able to physically and fiscally navigate the
City they call home. With this in mind, the
City embarked on an analysis of equity and
health deficiencies based on available data.

Why Did We Complete
This Analysis?
Research indicates that communities with
higher health risk factors tend to have
less access to roadway infrastructure that
promotes walking and biking.
1 Walking,
bicycling, and other forms of physical activity
benefit community members’ physical and
mental health. Increasing physical activity
can help people reduce their risk of coronary
heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other
chronic diseases. That can also lower health
care costs and improve the quality of life
for people of all ages, particularly children
and seniors with more limited mobility
options. By prioritizing active transportation
infrastructure for these populations, the
City can help improve safety, and residents
can reduce their transportation costs and
healthcare burden. Figure 2 shows the
weighted variables that compose the equity
and health index analysis.

experience the highest rate of health-

related issues, the project team completed
a multi-variate health analysis. This analysis
included four variables:
• L
ife expectancy
• H
igh blood pressure
• H
eart disease
• D
iabetes
These four variables were combined into an
index to provide a holistic understanding
areas of the City experiencing the highest
impacts of health related issues. As shown
in Figure 3, the areas with the highest health
burdens include the central core, including
the Richmore Village, Pullman, Santa Fe,
and Coronado neighborhoods, and the
southern portion of the City between I-80
and I-580 including the Parkview, Southwest
Annex neighborhoods. Other areas of the
City disproportionately impacted by health
burdens include the Fairmede/Hilltop, Hilltop
Green, and May Valley neighborhoods.

To complement the health multivariate
analysis, the project team completed a
socio-economic analysis or equity index.

This analysis used the following statistics to
understand where the highest concentration
of socio-economically burdened residents is
within the City:
• L
ow-income households
• P
opulation over age 75
• R
ent-burdened population
• Z
ero-vehicle households
Figure 02
H
ealth and Equity Analysis Process
The indexed analysis is noted in Figure 4 .

The areas of Richmond with the highest
equity needs include the central part of
the City between Cutting Boulevard and
Macdonald Avenue and the Iron Triangle
area. The combined health and equity index
indicates the communities with the greatest
needs include the North and East, Richmore
Village, Park Plaza, Coronado, Park Plaza,
and Cortez/Stege neighborhoods.

Figure 5 shows the combined health and
equity index scores for the entire City.

How Did We Use These
Analyses?
The recommendations put forth in this plan
were informed by the health and equity
analyses and reflect where the most need
in the community is. The results of these
analyses were integral to the prioritization
and ranking for proposed projects for
improving the bicycle and pedestrian
networks in the City. Health and equity
scores comprised 25% of the cumulative
Quantitative Corridor Score which drove
project prioritization (see Chapter 5 for
details). Following score calculations,
improvements were sorted into high,
medium, and low priority categories based
on the distribution of scores. These data can
inform quick, effective changes Richmond
can more readily implement to make tangible
differences in the community.

How Do We Compile the Index?
Eight variables relating different dimensions of health and equity are aggregated to census block group geographies and are then compiled into a composite index.

Community Engagement
02 Chapter

Page 179 of 327 ends

Overview
The Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan
included a multifaceted community
engagement process which included
multiple engagement methods and
partnerships to further the reach and
effectiveness of the engagement events.

Community engagement included three
community workshops, three pop-up
events, a project website with an interactive
webmap, coordination with the City’s Bicycle
and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC),
and twelve meetings with neighborhood
councils. Richmond partnered with Rich
City Rides, a local non-profit focused on
creating opportunities to improve health
and economics in the City by promoting
cycling as a social, sustainable and green
mode of transportation. Rich City Rides
helped lead community engagement with
the City’s neighborhood councils. The Plan’s
engagement process lasted the entire length
of Plan development from November 2021
to November 2022. The project team led
community engagement in three phases:

1. E
xisting conditions

2. P
roject recommendations

3. D
raft BPAP
Community Engagement
During the existing conditions phase,
community members provided comments
on walking, bicycling, rolling, and any
transportation safety issues within
Richmond. The project team used the
feedback and information gathered from this
phase to help inform the recommendations
included in the LRSP and BPAP.

The second engagement phase enabled
community members to provide input on
draft walking and bicycling recommendations
included in this plan. Recommendations
were revised based on comments received
in this engagement phase.

The Travel Safe Richmond website homepage.

The third engagement phase presented
revised project recommendations and the
draft Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan.

Changes were incorporated into the final
draft Plan before presentation to the BPAC
and City Council.

Details on individual events and activities are
provided below. Overarching lessons and
themes from the community engagement
process are detailed in the subsequent
section.

Phase 1: Existing Condition (Fall 2021–Winter 2021-22)
Project Website and Interactive Webmap
As previously noted, the City promoted community engagement for the LRSP and BPAP projects under the unified Travel Safe Richmond project. The project website, TravelSafeRichmond.org, provided an overview of both planning projects and their shared goals. The website promoted events for both initiatives. The website launched in September 2021 and remained active throughout the project’s life through the end of 2022. The website also included an interactive webmap requesting input from community members on where and how they bike. The webmap allowed community members to provide location-specific comments on existing walking and bicycling facilities and other locations throughout Richmond where they had safety, access, or connectivity feedback. During the first engagement phase, users provided 209 comments on the webmap, as well as 240 likes/ dislikes from fellow community members. Over 1,100 community members visited the website in Phase 1.

BPAC Meetings
Throughout the development of the BPAP, City staff provided regular updates on the progress of the Plan and coordinated feedback between the BPAC and the Plan team. In addition to periodic updates, the project team presented to the Committee during their January 2022 meeting. The team presented the health and equity analysis and shared feedback heard at the first community workshop.

Neighborhood Council Meetings
Rich City Rides was brought on as a member
of the project’s community engagement
team to help support the City’s efforts to
deepen community engagement. Leveraging
their deep ties to the Richmond community
and other local organizations, Rich City Rides
led the coordination and engagement with
12 neighborhood councils.

During Phase 1 of public engagement, Rich
City Rides met with five neighborhood
councils. Rich City Rides met with the
following groups:
• L
aurel Park Neighborhood Council
• S
anta Fe Neighborhood Council
• P
ark Plaza Neighborhood Council
• C
oronado Neighborhood Council
• H
illtop Neighborhood Council
These meetings promoted awareness of the
project and encouraged community members
to visit the project website to leave their
comments on the webmap or contact form.

Pop-up Event
As part of the LRSP, the project team hosted
a community pop-up event at Cafecito con
Claudia on September 25, 2021. This pop-up
event was the official launch of the Travel
Safe Richmond initiative. In addition to
promoting the launch of the project website
and interactive webmap, the pop-up also
provided an overview of roadway safety
conditions in Richmond, discussed a safety-
focused vision for Richmond, and showcased
the preliminary collision profiles and their
countermeasures.

Community Workshop
The City hosted a virtual community
workshop on the evening of Wednesday,
December 8, 2021. An interactive
presentation anchored the workshop with
live polling and opportunities to engage
with community members throughout the
presentation. During the presentation,
the project team provided an overview
of Travel Safe Richmond initiative (LRSP
and BPAP), included a short demo of
the project website and interactive map,
summarized the health and equity analyses,
and reviewed the existing bicycle and
pedestrian networks. The project team also
provided a brief presentation on the LRSP,
creating an opportunity for attendees to ask
questions and share feedback about the
project’s safety-centered vision. Twenty-six
community members attended the workshop
and provided comments on the initiative and
respective plans.

This spot recommendation on Harbour Way has two likes from community members.

Project Website and Interactive Webmap
Following the development of draft recommended improvements, the project team updated the website to show draft pedestrian and bicycle recommendations. Community members and local stakeholders were asked to comment on, like, or dislike draft project recommendations. Interactive map users were also asked to indicate additional locations for the project team to consider for improvements to the existing bicycle and pedestrian networks. In phase two, project recommendations were liked and disliked 171 times and were commented on 20 times. Thirty-five additional comments for additional projects were left on the webmap by the community. Over 600 people visited the website in Phase 2.

BPAC Meetings
City staff continued to provide regular updates to the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) on the BPAP and LRSP projects throughout this engagement phase. During the BPAC’s April 2022 meeting, the project team presented draft project recommendations and requested feedback from the committee on ways to improve/enhance the proposed improvements. The project team was also available to answer any questions by members of the BPAC on the recommended network. The City used feedback received from BPAC members to enhance the proposed improvements.

Neighborhood Council Meetings
Rich City Rides continued to meet with neighborhood councils in Phase Two of the engagement portion of the project. These meetings continued to raise awareness of the project and focused on soliciting feedback on draft project recommendations through the interactive webmap. As Rich City Rides could not meet with every Neighborhood Council, the project team prioritized meeting with the Richmond Neighborhood Coordinating Council (RNCC) as an opportunity to help spread the word about Travel Safe Richmond to every council.

Rich City Rides met with the following Neighborhood Councils during Phase 2:
• R
ichmond Neighborhood Coordinating Council
• N
orth and East Neighborhood Council
18 Community Engagement

Pop-Up Events
The BPAP was promoted at two pop-up
events during engagement phase two. The
pop-up events were:
• 2
3rd Street Bridge Project, April 2022
(Design charette).
• U
nity Park Earth Day Event, April 2022
(Shared event with RichCityRides)
The Earth Day event also included large
plotted maps with project recommendations
and informational boards that community
members could comment on.

Community Workshop
On the evening of Wednesday, May 18,
2022, the City hosted an in-person, outdoor
community workshop at Richmond Civic
Center Plaza. The workshop was hosted in
the central plaza and was organized around
several stations. Stations included welcome/
check-in, bicycle recommendations,
pedestrian recommendations, project
prioritization, and the LRSP. Attendees
reviewed informational boards and other
project materials and provided comments
on project recommendations, proposed
project prioritization, and the draft LRSP.

Ten community members attended the
workshop, and provided over 30 comments. Workshop attendees provided feedback
on draft pedestrian
recommendations
at the May 2022
outdoor workshop.

The City is currently conducting the final
phase of public outreach which will include
updates to the website including an online
interactive comment tool, five additional
neighborhood council meetings, and a virtual
community workshop.

What We Heard
Across all community engagement phases
and events, comments and feedback from
community members generally fell into four
categories:
• S
afety
• C
onnectivity
• S
afe routes to school
• M
aintenance
A summary of the feedback for each theme
is provided below:

Safety
• R
educing the speed of vehicular traffic
across the City.
• I
mplementing traffic calming on
residential streets would improve safety
for all, especially for people walking,
biking, and rolling.
• H
ighway interchanges represent a
significant safety and connectivity
barrier.
• R outes to community destinations like
parks and schools need to be safe for
people of all ages and abilities
• S
treet lighting needs to be improved
across the City.
» I
mproved lighting can improve both
traffic safety and perceptions of
personal safety.
» I
mproved lighting can also benefit
trails and trail users.
• R
educing the likeliness of multi-threat
collisions (i.e., crossing multilane
roads at uncontrolled locations) will
significantly improve the safety and
comfort of people crossing large
arterial or collector streets.

Connectivity
• R
ichmond residents believe the City
feels disconnected, and there is a lack
of comfortable north-south routes to
cross the City.
• M
ajor arterial streets and freeways (ex.,
San Pablo Avenue, Carlson Boulevard,
Giant Highway, I-580, I-80) act as
barriers and limit connections across
them.
• C
ommunity members want safer, more
comfortable, and easier access to
local community-serving destinations,
including parks, schools, libraries, the
waterfront/trails, and transit like BART.

Safe Routes to Schools
• I
mproving walking, rolling, and bicycling access to schools should be a priority.
• C
oordination with school stakeholders, parents, and staff to provide a more holistic approach to safe routes to schools should be a focus.

Maintenance
• Sid
ewalks should be kept clean and repaired when needed.
• T
rails and walking paths should be kept clear of debris and obstructions.
• T
rails should be kept clear of dumping sites.

Corridors and Intersections
In addition to these four themes, community members provided comments and suggestions for improvements along and across roads in Richmond. Across all engagement methods, community members consistently nominated several corridors and intersections for safety improvements. Those corridors included:
• 23
rd Street
• B
arrett Avenue
• C
arlson Boulevard
• Cu
tting Boulevard
• M
acdonald Avenue
• R
ichmond Wellness Trail
• S
an Pablo Avenue
The most frequently noted intersections by the community were:
• 23
rd Street/Carlson Boulevard/Broadway
• 23
rd Street/Garvin Avenue
• R
ichmond Greenway Gap Closure
• I

Bicycle Recommendations
03 Chapter

Page 189 of 327 ends

Bicycle Recommendations
Richmond’s proposed network provides
increased connectivity between destinations
through low-stress facilities that are
comfortable for all ages and abilities. The
proposed improvements include shared-use
paths (Class I), bicycle lanes (Class II) and
buffered bike lanes (Class IIB), bicycle
routes (Class III), bicycle boulevards (Class IIIB)
and separated bikeways (Class IV). The
proposed network focuses on providing
increased connectivity and safety with
particular attention to areas surrounding
schools, key community destinations and
increased connectivity to BART and other
regional destinations.

Based on the needs, opportunities, and
challenges identified through the existing
conditions analysis, the project team
developed recommendations through an
iterative process with both City staff, local
stakeholders, and the community. This
chapter describes recommended bicycle
projects and provides informational toolkits
describing the recommended infrastructure.

The proposed improvements included in
this plan serve as a foundation to create
successful, well-used, and safe spaces for
people bike and roll.

The recommendations
in this chapter are for
planning purposes only.

Recommendations may
be altered depending on
opportunities, constraints,
and/or roadway changes.

Feasibility determination, final
design, accessibility, funding,
and implementation of any
recommended improvements
is the responsibility of the
appropriate governing agency.

Class I – Shared-use Path
Dedicated paths for walking and bicycling that are completely separated from the roadway.

Class II – Bicycle Lane
Striped lanes for bicyclists located against the curb or next to a parking lane.

A shared-use path
(trail) that is part of the
Bay Trail.

A bike lane on 37th
Street.

Bicycle Facility Toolkit
This toolkit includes brief descriptions of
recommended facility types within the Travel
Safe Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian
Action Plan. The treatments offered herein
offer a range of options stemming from
current best practices and established
guidance at the state and national levels.

This toolkit intends to serve as a flexible
menu of options for developing and refining
project recommendations. For more detailed
information and specific design guidance,
see the Design Guidelines technical
document in Appendix B .

Class III – Bicycle Route
Signed routes for bicyclists where lanes
are shared with motorists. Streets are
designated as bike routes because they are
suitable for sharing with motor vehicles and/
or provide better (or needed) connectivity
than other streets. Routes are marked with
signs and/or shared lane bicycle pavement
markings (also known as “sharrows”) to alert
motorists to expect to share this roadway
with bicyclists. The placement of the
sharrow marking delineates the position in
the lane where bicyclists are expected to be
so they are clear of car door zones and other
potential conflict areas.

Class IIIB – Bicycle Boulevard
Bicycle routes on low-speed, low-volume
streets that are further enhanced with traffic
calming features or other treatments to
prioritize bicyclist comfort. Slowing vehicles
down and improving intersection safety also
makes walking and rolling on these streets a
more comfortable and enjoyable experience.

Class IIB – Buffered Bicycle Lane
Bicycle lanes with a striped “buffer” area
either between the bicycle lane and the
travel lane or between the bicycle lane and
parked cars (sometimes in both places).

Bicycle Boulevard Toolkit
Unlike other classifications of bicycle
facilities, bicycle boulevards are unique
in that there are no specific standards or
treatments. Bicycle boulevards can be
implemented in various ways to achieve
streets where bicycle travel is more
comfortable sharing with cars. There are
three primary categories of improvements:
• S
igns and pavement markings
• V
ehicle speed management
• V
ehicle volume reduction
Individual projects will be analyzed to
determine the treatments that best reflect
the solutions that will bring about the highest
increase in bicyclist comfort and safety
while respecting and coordinating with
the needs and desires of nearby residents
and stakeholders. Treatments will vary
from simple signage and striping only to
more advanced intersection redesigns.

This plan does not provide specific
infrastructure treatment recommendations
for the individual bicycle boulevard
recommendations.

Additional details on the three treatment
categories previously mentioned can be
found in the following pages.

Signs and Pavement Markings
Pavement Markings
Bicycle boulevards can have unique “BIKE
BLVD” pavement markings to reinforce that
the street is a shared space for bicycles and
vehicles. These pavement markings can
also include high-visibility green backing
to increase driver visibility and awareness
further.

Wayfinding Signs
Wayfinding is an essential component of
the overall bicycle network (discussed in
a subsequent section) but plays an even
more significant role on bicycle boulevards.

Bicycle boulevards can weave through
neighborhoods, increasing the importance of
the signs to help users complete their trips
on the network. Wayfinding can also raise
awareness of the presence of the bicycle
boulevard, potentially generating new users.

Vehicle Speed Management
Reduce Speed Limit
In some areas, especially around schools,
reducing the speed limit below 25 MPH
may be a helpful strategy in slowing cars
and making bicyclists and pedestrians more
comfortable in the corridor.

Neighborhood Traffic Circle
Neighborhood traffic circles are an
alternative intersection treatment to a signal
or stop sign, and traffic circles can regulate
traffic flow while adding a calming element.

Curb Extensions
These improvements extend the curb
into the street and improve visibility at
intersections, slow vehicular turning speeds,
and providing additional, consolidated
queueing space. When implemented on
streets with bicycle facilities, they should
be designed with slot to accommodate the
bicycle lane.

Chicanes
Chicanes add gentle curves to otherwise
straight streets. Adding curves to the road
can slow car traffic by narrowing the travel
lane and force drivers to slow down going
around corners. The lane adjustments
can be created with striping or offset curb
extensions/landscaping.

Page 194 of 327 ends

Pinch Points
A pinch point narrows available roadway
width with two curb extensions. Limiting
the available width creates a narrow road
environment where drivers drive slower.

Installing trees in these areas can further
narrow the profile of the road.

Speed Bumps/Speed Humps/Speed
Cushions
Speed bumps (and similar devices) are
undulations that span the width of the
roadway and encourage cars to slow down.

Speed bumps can be designed with slots for
emergency vehicles to use.

Vehicle Volume Reduction
Partial street closures, diagonal diverters,
and median diverters are variations of ways
to partially close off streets to vehicles while
maintaining pedestrian and bicycle access.

These can be useful for forcing drivers
to stay on arterial and collector streets,
reducing cut-through traffic.

Class IV Separated Bikeways
On-street bicycle facilities with a physical
vertical barrier between the bicycle space
and motor vehicle lanes, including bollards,
curbs, or parking.

A partial pinch point on Nevin Ave
near City Hall.

Road Diets
A road diet is generally described as a
reconfiguration of travel lanes to utilizing the
space for other uses and travel modes. This
usually requires the removal of a travel lane
which allows the roadway cross section to be
reallocated for other uses such as bike lanes,
pedestrian refuge islands, transit uses, and/
or parking. These roadway reconfigurations
offer many high-level benefits including
enhanced safety, mobility, and access for all
road users, and create a complete streets
environment along the corridor. These
benefits include:
2 • C
rash reduction rates between 19-47%
• R
educed vehicle speeds
• I
mproved mobility and access for all
road users
• B
etter integration of the roadway into
surrounding land uses
Conflicts between high-speed through
traffic, left-turning vehicles, and other
road users that are more prevalent on
traditional multilane roadways can lead
to relatively higher crash frequencies
compared to roadways that have been
reconfigured. These reconfigurations allow
cities to integrate additional pedestrian
and bicycle facilities along these corridors.

Right-sizing roads with excess space, can
create a solution that addresses safety
concerns and benefits for all road users.

These reconfigurations can also be cost-
effective when combined with already
planned roadway reconstruction or overlay
(repaving and restriping) projects. Changing
a road’s configuration can sometimes
impact neighboring streets. During the
design phase of a road diet project, project
elements can be added to reduce and
mitigate impacts on neighboring streets to
reduce and control cut-through and other
diverted traffic.

Several recommended improvements
included in this Plan will require some form
of lane reconfiguration due to existing
roadway and environmental constraints.

Please note implementation of any road diets
will require additional engineering study
and community engagement before moving
forward. Impacts to local traffic patterns
should also be assessed when considering
these roadway reconfigurations.

Recommended Improvements
This plan recommends over 80 miles of
new or upgraded bicycle facilities across
Richmond, building on the existing 114.1-
mile network. Table 3 provides an overview
of existing and recommended bicycle
facilities by bikeway classification, and
Table 4 (page 34) lists individual projects.

Recommendations are shown in Figures 6-8
on the following pages.

These improvements focus on closing
existing gaps in the City of Richmond’s
network; providing key access to local and
regional community destinations (schools,
parks, transit, etc.); and improving the health,
equity, and safety of Richmond. A clear
pattern emerged around certain hubs of
activity, and this plan strives to make those
getting to those destinations safer, more
accessible, and more comfortable for people
of varying ages and abilities.

Multiple factors were considering in the
development of recommended bicycle
improvements for a specific corridor. Some
of these factors, presence of schools
and collision history for example, were
considered when recommending facilities
that provide increased modal separation
and traffic calming. Other factors like
Table 03
E
xisting and Proposed Bikeways
Note: Total miles account for 11.6 miles of upgraded facilities.

BIKEWAY CLASSIFICATION EXISTING (MI) PROPOSED (MI) TOTAL (MI) Class I - Shared-use Path 49.9 10.2 63.9

Class IV - Separated Bikeway 3.9 20.6 24.7
Total 114.1 84.3 189.6
traffic volumes and roadway widths which
negatively impact people bicycling, were
also considered. Based on an examination
of these factors, many of the recommended
improvements include Class IIB bicycle
boulevards and Class IV separated bikeways.

While sometimes more challenging to
implement, these two bikeway types provide
the greatest comfort and safety benefits
for people biking. These recommendations
create a connected lower-stress network
with facilities that serve people of all ages
and abilities.

Pedestrian
Recommendations
04 Chapter

Page 209 of 327 ends

Based on the needs, opportunities,
and challenges identified through the
existing conditions analysis, pedestrian
recommendations were developed
through an iterative process with both City
staff, partner agency stakeholders, and
the community. This chapter describes
recommended pedestrian projects and
provides informational toolkits describing
the recommended infrastructure.

Recommendations described in this Plan
serve as a foundation to create successful,
well-used, and safe spaces for people
to walk and roll. In addition to projects
identified in this plan, Richmond can install
pedestrian enhancements on other routes as
appropriate.

Pedestrian Facilities Toolkit
The toolkit below includes brief descriptions
of the pedestrian improvements provided
within the Bicycle and Pedestrian Action
Plan. The treatments offered herein offer
a range of options stemming from current
best practices and established guidance
at the state and national levels. This toolkit
intends to serve as a flexible menu of
options for developing and refining project
recommendations. For more detailed
information and specific design guidance,
The recommendations
in this chapter are for
planning purposes only.

Recommendations may
be altered depending on
opportunities, constraints,
and/or roadway changes.

Feasibility determination, final
design, accessibility, funding,
and implementation of any
recommended improvements
is the responsibility of the
appropriate governing agency.

Pedestrian Recommendations
see the Design Guidelines technical
document in Appendix B .

This Plan’s toolkit provides pedestrian
infrastructure that falls into six general
categories:
• P
avement markings
• P
edestrian-actuated beacons
• S
treet furniture
• Sid
ewalks, trails, and medians
• I
ntersection and street design
• P
rojects that require additional studies
A short description of infrastructure
components from each of the categories is
provided in the toolkit below. The toolkit is
not an exhaustive list of potential solutions.

Exact solutions for each location should be
selected based on engineering and planning
judgment and best practices to maximize
safety and pedestrian accessibility

Pavement Markings
Advance Stop & Advance Yield
Markings
Advance yield pavement markings, also
referred to as “shark’s teeth,” are markings
placed on the roadway before a mid-block
crosswalk or before a crosswalk at an
intersection approach without a signal or
stop sign.

Stop lines are solid white lines extending
across approach lanes, indicating the
point behind which vehicles must stop in
compliance with a STOP sign or some other
traffic control device that requires vehicles to
stop. Advanced stop lines should be placed
the roadway 20-50 feet before a mid-block
crosswalk or 4-30 feet before a crosswalk at
an intersection. These can help improve the
visibility of pedestrians to people driving.

Crosswalks
All crosswalk recommendations are subject
to a pedestrian needs analysis to determine
the safest, most efficient location to install
the crosswalk.

High-Visibility Crosswalks
High-Visibility crosswalks are marked with
thick bars, drawing additional attention and
awareness to the crossing. In school zones,
these crossings are yellow instead of the
standard white color.

Decorative Crosswalks
Decorative crosswalks can add a
placemaking element to the street while
still serving a marked crosswalk’s primary
visibility and awareness objectives.

Decorative crosswalks can be themed to
reflect the surrounding neighborhood or
nearby destinations. Decorative crosswalks
must meet specific design parameters to
remain compliant with state and federal
standards; most importantly, they include
the white transverse markings around any
decorative pavement treatment.

Raised Crosswalks
A raised crosswalk is a modification of a speed table. Speed tables reduce vehicle speeds by elevating the entire wheelbase of a vehicle (unlike a speed bump that raises each axel individually). Speed tables can be designed to include a mid-block raised crosswalk; in these cases, the height of the speed table matches the sidewalk. This treatment can help slow traffic while increasing pedestrian visibility to approaching motorists.

Trail Markings
Paved trails can include striping to demarcate separate areas for pedestrians and bicyclists. Especially on crowded trails with high pedestrian usage, encouraging spatial separation can reduce conflicts and improve the efficiency and consistency of travel.

Pedestrian-Actuated Beacons
Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons
Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs)
are user-activated flashing lights used at
unsignalized intersections or mid-block
crossings. These beacons alert motorists to
the presence of people in the crosswalk.

Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons
A pedestrian hybrid beacon (PHB) is a signal
designed to increase safety for pedestrians
crossing at non-signalized locations
on multilane roadways. Thresholds for
installation vary based on the posted speed
limit, crossing distance, vehicular volumes,
and volumes of pedestrian crossings.

Scramble Pedestrian Crossings
A scramble pedestrian crossing, also
called “exclusive pedestrian phasing” is a
pedestrian-only signal phase to allow for
people walking at an intersection to walk
and cross in any direction or approach.

During this exclusive pedestrian phase, all
motorists cars have a red light during the
scramble and right-turns-on-red are typically
prohibited at these intersections. The
diagonal pedestrian crossing is often marked
at these intersections.

Avenue in Oakland.

Street Furniture
Signage
Signs serve many uses, from prohibiting
movements, limiting parking, or providing
advance notice of school zones or
crosswalks.

Street Furniture/Amenities
Street furniture includes benches, transit
shelters, trash cans, newsstands, and other
items within the public right-of-way. Street
furnishings provide important amenities
for pedestrians by adding functionality and
vitality to the pedestrian realm and add
placemaking elements to the street. They
announce that pedestrians are welcome and
that the street is a comfortable place to be.

These amenities provide a functional service
to people walking and provide visual detail
and interest.

Lighting
Pedestrian-scale lighting improves visibility
for people walking and driving, particularly
at intersections. These lights focus on
illuminating the sidewalk, not the roadway.

Lighting can be achieved on one light pole
(with one light for the road and one for the
sidewalk) or on separate poles. Lighting is
also an essential consideration along trails.

Richmond Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan

Page 214 of 327 ends

Sidewalks, Trails and Medians
Sidewalks
Sidewalks provide dedicated space for
pedestrians to walk. Sidewalks are raised
from the roadway, and some have a planting
strip for increased separation from the street.

Obstructions like utility boxes, signs, and
poles can sometimes limit available sidewalk
width.

Shared-Use Paths
Dedicated paths for walking and bicycling
completely separated from the roadway.

When paved with asphalt or concrete, trails
can include markings to encourage the
separation of modes.

Curb Extensions
Curb extensions extend the curb into the
street. Curb extensions can provide several
valuable traffic calming and safety benefits.

They shorten the crossing distance for
people walking, provide improved visibility
at intersections, make pedestrians more
visible to motorists, and provide additional
pedestrian queueing space. They can be
installed at intersections or mid-block.

Curb extensions can be constructed with
permanent materials like cement, pavement
markings, and bollards.

Curb Ramps
Curb ramps allow for smooth transitions
between the sidewalk and street level.

Curb ramps are essential for those with
special mobility needs, strollers, and many
other users. Ramps must be built to current
accessibility standards.

Page 215 of 327 ends

Intersection and Street Design
Intersection Redesign
Intersections are not always symmetrical
and can take on confusing designs when
multiple streets come together or when
two streets come together at acute angles.

Design components like curb extensions,
painted buffer areas, and medians make
intersections more inviting and less stressful
for active transportation users.

Free-Right Turn Lane/Slip Lane Removal
Free-right turn lanes facilitate increased
vehicle throughput and faster turns at
intersections at the expense of pedestrian
and bicyclist safety and movement.

Traffic Calming
Traffic calming is the implementation of
roadway changes to slow down vehicle
traffic. Engineers can consider many tools to
slow vehicle traffic, including speed bumps,
chicanes, speed feedback signs, and other
items. Traffic calming is also an essential
component of bicycle boulevards.

Stop Signs
A stop sign is a traffic control device used
to regulate traffic through an intersection,
and one or multiple intersection approaches
can be stop-controlled. In general, the
implementation of stop control is regulated
by the CA-MUTCD and requires that a
technical analysis be conducted.

Projects That Require Additional Studies

Complex Intersections/Situations
While most of the locations examined for
the Plan have recommendations, some will
require additional study and traffic analysis
to develop recommendations for those
locations.

Implementation
05 Chapter

Page 228 of 327 ends

This chapter outlines the potential next
steps to move the recommended projects
toward implementation. Recommended
pedestrian and bicycle projects were
prioritized to help City staff select which
project (or groups of projects) to implement
first. This section also provides information
on funding sources (i.e., competitive grants
and formulaic funding opportunities) that
the City and partner agencies can use to
design and build projects. The chapter also
provides a summary of maintenance policies
that Richmond should strive to follow to
maintain a state of good repair and improve
safety. The “Quick-Build” section describes
how some projects may be implemented
using a more streamlined and cost-effective
implementation strategy. Lastly, the chapter
describes the potential next steps after this
Action Plan and briefly discuss aspects of
the implementation process that influence
project development like funding, staff time,
and multijurisdictional coordination.

Project Prioritization
The approach to enhancing and expanding
Richmond’s active transportation network
must consider what is realistic given
historical and anticipated funding while
also providing the City with the flexibility
Implementation
to respond to changing conditions and
project opportunities that may arise. The
prioritization of proposed projects helps
formulate a strategic list to guide project
implementation. Over time as development
occurs or other changes to land uses and
the City’s transportation network take place,
this framework can be used to re-evaluate
remaining projects and continue pursuing
the plan’s implementation. For example,
an opportunity-priority spot improvement
may be completed ahead of a high-priority
corridor project due to immediate funding
opportunities as part of a redevelopment
or larger project. Similarly, a high-priority
project may require additional study and
funding, extending the time it takes to
implement. Prioritization results should be
considered flexible concepts that serve as
project selection guidelines.

Prioritization Methodology
Recommended projects were evaluated
using four overarching criteria. Each
evaluation criterion was given a normalized
score as listed in the table below: the higher
the number, the higher ranking an individual
project received based on the criteria. The
scores were combined for each corridor
and spot improvement; each project has a
Quantitative Corridor Score ranging from
0–100, with 100 being the highest ranked.

Table 6 outlines the criteria and provides
details about each input of the prioritization
score. Following score calculations,
improvements were sorted into high,
medium, and opportunity priority categories
based on the distribution of scores. High-
priority projects should start to move forward
within two years. Medium priority projects
should begin to progress within two to four
years. Opportunity projects should start
implementation after five years or when
opportunities like repaving or development
projects occur.

Project Funding
Following the designation of a recommended
improvement, projects require funding for
design (i.e., detailed engineering work)
and construction. Funding for design and
build active transportation projects is
available at all levels of government (local,
regional, state, and federal) and from
private sources. Project funding can take
the form of competitive grants, formula-
based allocations, tax measure-based
funding, funds from private development,
and others. Appendix C provides a detailed
list of potential funding sources with a brief
description.

Table 11 below summarizes the type of
projects and project phases (planning,
design, construction) that each funding
opportunity listed in Appendix C will fund.

Planning Level Cost Estimates
Table 10 below provides high and low
planning-level cost estimates for each
class of bicycle facility. Table 12 on page
101 provides high and low planning-level
cost estimates for each class of bicycle
facility. Table 13 (on page 102) provides
this information for different types of spot
improvements. Cost estimates include
30% extra for “soft costs” for items like
City staff time and other administrative-
related work. These are order of magnitude
planning budgetary figures; a complete
detailed engineering design will be needed
to determine the most probable cost of
individual projects.

Maintenance
Timely and regular maintenance of bicycle
facilities, shared-use paths, trails, and
sidewalks are critical for their continued
safe and comfortable use. Inadequately
maintained facilities can create potentially
hazardous conditions and reduce the
accessibility and connectivity of the walking,
rolling, and bicycling networks. Providing
safe, accessible, comfortable, and well-
maintained walking, bicycling, and rolling
facilities allows active transportation
to be a viable travel option. Prioritizing
the procurement of new equipment
for conducting regular maintenance
and sweeping on new facilities such as
protected bicycle lanes will benefit the City’s
active transportation long-term goals by
encouraging people bicycling and walking
to use these well-maintained facilities. The
following section offers maintenance policies
the City should consider.

Maintenance Policies
The City should consider the implementation
of the following policies to maintain the
active transportation networks in a state of
good repair, high usability, and accessibility.

Implementation of all maintenance policies
is subject to sufficient allocation of staff,
capital, and funding resources.

stakeholders across City of Richmond
Departments and partner agencies/
jurisdictions.

A.

R

A quick-build curb extensions in Oakland near Lake Merritt BART.

Many infrastructure improvements
(especially pedestrian projects and
intersection geometry changes) can be
completed using signage, striping, and
other quick-build strategies. Facilities like
curb extensions, medians, and separated
bikeways are examples of treatments that
can be built with quick-build materials. These
improvements can be left permanently with
the quick-build materials or used as a short-
term improvement until additional funding
for design and construction can be secured
for permanent, more expensive design
iterations. Constructing improvements with
quick-build materials can make immediate
safety and comfort impacts at lower costs
to the City. Using quick-build materials also
allows the City to trial design changes before
committing to long-term installations.

There are many resources available to help
Richmond and community partners learn
more about and implement quick-build
projects. The California Bicycle Coalition
has an 80-page guide with details on how
to move forward with these low-cost, high-
impact project types.

Public Art
Public art is a crucial component of
placemaking and allows community
members to help establish and reinforce
a public identity. Public art can take
many forms, including sculptures, murals,
decorative crosswalks, painted curb
extensions, and themed street furniture.

Public art can also help create a more
welcoming and engaging environment
to walk, roll, and bike through; helping
to encourage more people to use active
transportation. Public art can be coordinated
through the City’s Public Art Advisory
Commission and the Richmond Arts and
Culture Commission.

Next Steps
Project Timing and Funding
Projects can take a long time to get from “a
line on a map” to being fully constructed.

Limited staff time and limited City resources
constrict how many projects can move
forward at a given time and how fast those
projects move. In some cases, funding
for project phases (planning, engineering
design, and construction) is found separately,
sometimes with years between phases. As
the City wins competitive grants, it can take
one to two years for the City to get access to
those funds to continue moving the project
forward. The realities of active transportation
funding strengthen the importance of project
prioritization to guide City staff in selecting
projects that will provide the most significant
safety and overall community benefits.

Richmond and Partner Agencies
The City of Richmond is not the only
jurisdiction or agency responsible for
planning, designing, and constructing
walking, bicycling, and rolling facilities
across the City. Some of the project
recommendations in this plan are in the
rights-of-way of other agencies, jurisdictions,
or private owners, such as Caltrans, Contra
Costa County, or Union Pacific Railroad.

The City will need to coordinate with the
appropriate stakeholders for planning,
design, funding, and implementation. These
partner agencies may have final approval
on these projects, even if they are located
within the City of Richmond. Examples
of projects out of the City’s right-of-way
include trails on railroad company property,
bicycle facilities on Caltrans-operated roads,
or pedestrian crossing improvements at
interchanges.

What Projects Move Forward Next?
Given the limited amount of staff time and budget for new projects, several factors impact which recommended projects move forward and when. The infographic to the right, Figure 26 , provides a simplified visualization of the project development and implementation process.

Focusing on Safety
Throughout the community engagement process, community
members consistently stated that improving safety was their top priority. Travel Safe Richmond analyzed collision histories across the City and developed recommendations that responded to those locations. Additionally, safety was one of the major components of the project prioritization process (one-quarter of possible priority points).

When seeking funding sources, many competitive grants have collision history as a score factor. Some grants, including the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and those from the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), focus on responding to collision locations and other safety concerns.

Interpreting Prioritization Results
The overall prioritization rankings provide an order of projects that can improve safety and benefit the community. Overall project rankings can help select projects for Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant applications or for projects to add to the City’s next Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Breaking down the scores of the different inputs can provide guidance for more specific needs. For example, City staff could sort projects by order of the “safety” score to find the best projects for HSIP or OTS grants. The rankings are not intended to be a hardened list but rather a guide for staff to select projects based on the myriad of factors that present opportunities to move projects forward.

Staying informed and involved with
Richmond’s active transportation activities is
one of the best ways to continue to advocate
for your community and show support for the
projects that matter to you most. There are
multiple ways you can get involved:

Attend Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory
Committee Meetings
The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory
Committee (BPAC) meets monthly to discuss
current and future active transportation
projects and needs. City staff present
updates, and there are opportunities for
public comment. If you don’t have time to
attend,
checking the agenda and minutes
is a great way to stay informed.

Get Involved With Your Local
Neighborhood Council or Community
Association
Neighborhood councils and community
associations are great ways to meet your
neighbors and stay informed about different
happenings in your area. Neighborhood
councils receive presentations and updates
from City staff on projects and other issues.

Find your neighborhood council.

Get Involved With Local Walking and
Biking Organizations
Supporting local community and advocacy
groups like Rich City Rides and Bike East
Bay is another way to advocate for active
transportation in your community. These
groups focus on advocating for safer roads
and getting more people walking and
bicycling. Your membership and support
allow them to grow and continue their
advocacy and education work on behalf of
the community.

How Can the Community Stay Involved?

My name is Nicolas Traylor and I am the Executive Director of the Richmond Rent Program. I am also a long-time Richmond resident and community member. I report to the 5 member Richmond Rent Board, who are appointed by the Mayor and City Council.

The Rent Board governs and oversees the Rent Program, it's budget and the promulgating of Rent Board policy through regulations and resolutions. Since the inception of the Rent Program in 2017, the 5 member Rent Board has adopted 148 regulations and 4 resolutions to clarify the intent of the Fair Rent, Just Cause for Eviction and Homeowner Protection Ordinance (hereafter "Rent Ordinance"). The Rent Board has also successfully adopted 4 annual Rent Program budgets, establishing and overseeing an agency that has reached high levels of compliance, while balancing each years budget with modest reserves. Little did we know that soon after finding stability as an agency, the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the intrinsic connection between housing stability, financial stability, community stability and health. In the best of times, housing stability is tenuous in our beautiful Bay Area. Numerous scientific studies have linked negative health effects with housing insecurity. These turbulent times have stressed our system, making a structure of support for those affected by unstable housing all the more prescient.

During the COVID-19 pandemic the Rent Program has been the hub of vital information for the community, empowering landlords and tenants to know their rights by disseminating up-to-date information on the unprecedented changes in various local and state eviction and rent increase moratoria.

This annual report sheds light on an important fact: housing stability is a public health issue. By actively enforcing the Rent Ordinance, the Rent Program plays a vital role in the community in protecting the physical and mental health of Richmond residents.

Finally, this annual report disseminates useful information about the Rent Ordinance, Richmond’s rental housing stock, rent increase and eviction data, and Rent Program finances.

LETTER FROM

THE DIRECTOR
Nicolas Traylor
Executive Director

Page 307 of 327 ends

Since the spring of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the financial, physical, and mental well-being of everyone around the world. Millions of renters have struggled and continue to struggle to pay rent due to loss of income caused by the pandemic, increased out-of-pocket expenses, lost childcare, among a multitude of other reasons directly related to the pandemic (Airgood-Obrycki, W. et al., 2021). In an effort to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus and therefore save lives, governments at all levels have instituted policies to stabilize housing and stem displacement.

Studies have shown that housing instability is detrimental to one's health. People who face housing instability are more likely to experience poor health in comparison to those who have housing stability (Taylor, 2018). Housing stability is a cross-sector force that links financial security, academic performance, job performance, and psychological and physiological well-being.

Laws such as the Richmond Rent Ordinance, the City of Richmond's eviction moratorium (Urgency Ordinance), Contra Costa County's rent increase and eviction moratorium and the state's eviction moratorium (COVID-19 Tenant Relief Act of 2020) have all played a role in slowing the potential spread of the COVID-19 virus. These protections have been especially important in Richmond, which historically has had higher rates of eviction compared to surrounding cities.

WHAT THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
HAS REVEALED: HOUSING STABILITY

IS A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE
The mission of the Rent Ordinance is to promote neighborhood and community stability, healthy housing, and affordability for Richmond tenants through the regulating of those landlord/tenant matters that reasonably relate to rents and evictions, while maintaining a landlord’s right to a fair return.

Reduced homelessness and overcrowding which lead to negative health outcomes for individuals and the community, including the spread of the COVID-19 virus (Ehran, D et al., 2016).

Financial predictability for tenants, similar to the financial predictability experienced by homeowners on fixed-term mortgages, allowing tenants to better plan financially for the future.

Higher academic performance for children: Studies have shown that housing stability leads to higher academic performance (Currier, E et al., 2018).

Reduced psychological and physiological stress: Studies have shown that housing insecurity leads to higher levels of psychological and physiological stress, increasing cortisol levels in the body weakening the immune system (David et al., 2014).

Tenants who have housing stability are more likely to assert their right to fit and habitable housing because they know they cannot be legally evicted for complaining about habitability problems. Tenants are also aware they have recourse to compel the landlord to make repairs by filing a Rent Adjustment Petition to reduce their rent until habitability problems are corrected.

Outside of the immediate health benefits associated with staying housed, there are many other societal benefits to stable, healthy and affordable housing. Among those benefits are:

One of the Rent Program's primary goals is to protect the health of our community by actively enforcing the Rent Ordinance. Active enforcement means actively reaching out to and educating both landlords and tenants regarding their respective rights and responsibilities under the Rent Ordinance. Getting the landlord and tenant on the same page about their rent-control and eviction protection rights, is the most effective way to enforce the Rent Ordinance.

5 PROTECTING THE HEALTH OF OUR

COMMUNITY THROUGH ACTIVE

ENFORCEMENT OF THE RENT

ORDINANCE
To ensure that both landlords and tenants are on the same page regarding how much rent can be charged, the Rent Program maintains a database of rent-controlled tenancies and the Maximum Allowable Rent associated with those tenancies.

Property Enrollment & Tenancy Registration
Outreach and education starts with gathering accurate data on rental properties, tenancies and lawful rent levels in Richmond. Having worked diligently the past four years to gather data on rental properties and rents, Rent Program staff are able to better track lawful rent levels and inform both landlords and tenants of the maximum rent that could be charged for that rent-controlled unit.

Landlords and tenants can actively assert and enforce their rights through the rent adjustment petition process.

The Rent Adjustment Petition Process
The Rent Ordinance provides recourse to compel habitable, healthy housing, and an incentive to invest in maintaining rental properties. This is achieved through the Rent Adjustment Petition process. Landlords who invest in maintaining or improving their properties can elect to file a "Fair Return" petition to increase the rent beyond the annual cost-of-living increase. Tenants, on the other hand, who are living with substandard conditions or who experience a decrease in habitability, usable space, or housing services can file a petition to decrease rent until repairs are made or services restored. A rent reduction petition is an effective means to compel timely repairs.

Rent Program Services Analysts ("Housing Counselors") assist community members with a wide range of issues pertaining to the Rent Ordinance. During the pandemic, our services have never been more vital.

Counseling, Mediation & Community Education
Housing Counseling: Rent Program Services Analysts provide community members with individualized counseling sessions on issues related to the Rent Ordinance and associated state laws.

Rent Program Webinar by Services Analyst,
Monica Bejarano
Legal Services: As part of our community education and outreach, the Rent Program contracts with the Eviction Defense Center and Bay Area Legal Aid to refer community members to legal assistance and representation necessary to assert their rights.

Mediation: Often landlord and tenant disputes are complex and may benefit from the assistance of mediation. This option presents a great opportunity to avoid tenant and landlord legal disputes and reach a compromise and/or negotiate a resolution to their issues.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Rent Program has been the hub of information for landlords and tenants who want to understand their rights under local, state and federal moratoria. With many tenants and landlords experiencing financial distress caused by the pandemic, the need for Rent Program services, especially around evictions and non-payment of rent, has never been more important. 7ENFORCEMENT THROUGH OUTREACH:

THE RENT PROGRAM’S RESPONSE TO THE
COVID-19 PANDEMIC”
The Rent Program has
adopted internal policies to
assist landlords facing
financial hardship due to
the COVID-19 Pandemic
Landlords facing financial hardship due to the pandemic may request a deferral of the Rental Housing Fee or request a payment plan. Over $142,644 dollars in late fees were waived since the inception of the Rent Program. During the pandemic, $116,962 of late fees were waived including situations where the landlord was facing financial hardship because their tenants were not paying rent.

The Rent Program
spearheaded the
development of the first
rent assistance program
dedicated solely to
Richmond landlords and
tenants
The Rent Program is the
hub of information for
Richmond landlords and
tenants regarding
pandemic related laws and
rent assistance
20 online educational webinars

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Rent Program met with City officials and began discussions about the potential creation of a rent assistance program for Richmond residents. Those discussions led to the creation of a rent assistance program. Launched after the shelter- in-place took effect, the coalition engages over 90 cross-sector stakeholders, including community partners, non-profits, and the City of Richmond. This coalition has raised and disbursed over $150,000 dollars to Richmond landlords and tenants.

FACTS ABOUT RICHMOND'S RENTAL
HOUSING STOCK:
8 COUNTERING THE FALSE NARRATIVE THAT THE RENT

ORDINANCE HAS LED TO A LOSS OF RENTAL UNITS
The Fiscal Year 2017-2018 Rental Housing Fee Study and the Rent Program first fee study indicate that there were 24,797 Rental Units in Richmond based on data from the County Assessor's Office in 2017. In comparison, the Fiscal Year 2020-21 Fee Study reports that there were as of the date of May 2020, 17,684 Rental Units in Richmond based on the Rent Program's database.

Does this mean Richmond lost 7,113 Rental Units between 2017-2020? The owner didn't know about the Homeowners Tax Exemption The owner doesn't qualify for the Homeowner Tax Exemption because they don't live in the property as their primary residence, but they use the property for another purpose besides renting it for residential purposes (i.e. Second/Vacation home, storage, work studio, etc.) In short, no. Richmond did not lose over 7,000 Rental Units between 2017-2020. Instead, between 2017 and 2020, staff members investigated and refined the database of suspected Rental Units to identify only those units that are truly rented. The Fiscal Year 2016-17 and Fiscal Year 2017-18 Fee Studies utilized data provided by the Contra Costa County Assessor’s Office to identify suspected Rental Units. While County Assessor data may be used to arrive at an estimated number of total rental units, it cannot produce an exact figure. Nevertheless, County Assessor data was the best and most readily available data at the time of the Fiscal Year 2016-17 and Fiscal Year 2017-18 Fee Study. One assumption used to identify suspected Rental Units included that all housing units in the City for which there were no Homeowner’s Tax Exemption on file were rentals. This assumption substantially overestimated the number of Rental Units in Richmond. Staff members heard from community members that there are a number of reasons why an owner might not have claimed the Homeowner’s Tax Exemption, but not used their property as a rental. These reasons include:

So then what is the reason for the discrepancy? How did the estimate of close to 25,000 Rental Units in 2017 decrease to less than 18,000 in 2020? County Assessor data was used to create a very rough estimate of suspected Rental Units. In 2017, staff members collaborated with the City's IT Department to construct the Program's (and City's) first comprehensive database of Rental Units. Using the County Assessor data, cross- checked against data from the City's Rental Inspection Program, showed many units as Homeowner Exempt. Approximately 23,500 units were estimated to have been rented.

In late 2017, staff members mailed invoices to owners of these 23,500 suspected Rental Units.

Approximately 4,087 suspected Rental Units were determined to be exempt based on feedback from owners. They explained that their units were either owner occupied or used for some other purpose. This left approximately 19,413 suspected Rental Units.

Between 2018 and 2020, owners of more than 1,500 units in the Rent Program's database of suspected Rental Units contacted the Rent Program upon receipt of a Rental Housing Fee Invoice to claim their unit(s) as inapplicable to the Rent Ordinance. Reasons included (a) owner occupancy or rental by a non-paying family member, (b) properties not offered for rent or used for another purpose, (c) otherwise not applicable due to location outside City boundaries or property comprised by a vacant lot erroneously added to the initial database.

COUNTERING THE FALSE NARRATIVE THAT THE RENT ORDINANCE HAS LED TO A

LOSS OF RENTAL UNITS (CONTINUED)
As of May 2020, the latest estimate of Rental Units in the City totaled 17,684. As of June 2021, approximately 3,200 new Rental Units were discovered and added to the Rent Program's database, bring the total number of rental units to approximately 20,910. This number will continue to fluctuate as properties (single family homes and condominiums in particular) are bought and sold, rented by one owner, or owner-occupied.

How many Rental Units in Richmond are estimated to have actually been removed from the rental market between 2017-2021?
Rent Program records indicate that between the Rent Program's establishment in 2017 and the end of the 2020-2021 Fiscal Year in June 2021, 190 units have been withdrawn from the rental market pursuant to the Ellis Act and 51 units have been removed from the rental market due to Owner Move-In, for a total of 241 units removed from Richmond's rental market.

IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT THE RENT
PROGRAM AND RENT ORDINANCE 10
67 Funding for the Rent Program is independent from and not tied to the General Fund The Rent Ordinance provides protections for homeowners
The Rent Program is an agency independent from the City of Richmond Section 11.100.060(l) of the Rent Ordinance provides that the Rent Board shall finance its reasonable and necessary expenses by charging Landlords annual registration fees in amounts deemed reasonable by the Rent Board. Under Section 50076 of the California Government Code, fees charged for any service or regulatory activity must not exceed the reasonable cost of providing the service. To ensure this requirement is satisfied, the Rent Board conducts an annual fee study. The Rental Housing Fee is adopted by the City Council and paid by Landlords to finance the Program's reasonable and necessary expenses.

The Rent Ordinance carves out protections for single family homeowners who rent out rooms in their house or rent out permitted Accessory Dwelling Units. If a homeowner shares a kitchen and or bath with a tenant, they are not subject to rent control or the requirement to have Just Cause to evict. This protection was put in the law as an incentive for single family homeowners to construct newly permitted rental units and to encourage the legalization of the many un-permitted backyard and in-law dwelling units.

In accordance with Section 11.100.060(m) of the Rent Ordinance, the Rent Board and Rent Program function as integral parts of the City of Richmond, but exercise powers and duties under the Ordinance independent from the City Council, City Manager, and City Attorney, except by request of the Rent Board. To illustrate this concept, the Board, for example, adopts its own annual operating budget and hires an Executive Director who reports to the Board and not the City Manager.

Landlords have a constitutionally protected right to a Fair Return.

The Maintenance of Net Operating Income Petition process evaluates a Landlord’s assertion that they are not receiving a Fair Return and if so demonstrated, grants a Landlord a rent increase in an amount determined necessary to provide that Landlord a Fair Return. The courts have consistently upheld the constitutionality of the Maintenance of Net Operating Income process.

Landlords who are not in compliance with the Rent Ordinance may be prohibited from raising rents (for Controlled Rental Units only) or terminating tenancies Tenants may use a Landlord's non-compliance with the Rent Ordinance as a defense to an eviction lawsuit. To be in compliance with the Rent Ordinance and Rent Board Regulations, landlords must enroll their rental properties with the Rent Program, pay the Rental Housing Fee, and follow the eviction and rent increase noticing requirements. Landlords of rent controlled properties may be prohibited from raising the rent if they are not in compliance with the Rent Ordinance.

There are special noticing requirements for Landlords
One of the key ways that the Rent Program monitors rents and evictions and enforces the Rent Ordinance is through special noticing requirements. Landlords of Controlled Rental Units must submit to the Rent Program copies of rent increase notices within 10 business days upon service of the tenant. Landlords of rental units that are covered by the requirement to have Just Cause to evict, must submit copies of any notice of termination of tenancy to the Rent Program within 2 business days of having served the tenant. Rent increases that are above the Maximum Allowable Rent (rent ceiling) and termination of tenancy notices that are not incompliance with the requirement to have "Just Cause" to evict, result in the landlord and tenant receiving a special mailing providing information to them of their rights and responsibilities under applicable local and state law. Failure on the part of the Landlord to adhere to the noticing requirements can be used by a Tenant as a defense to an eviction lawsuit.
