909 12th Street. Ste 110 Sacramento, CA 95814 www.sacbike.org February 7, 2022 Dear Mayor Steinberg and City Council members, The Mayors’ Commission on Climate Change set out a climate vision for Sacramento that could usher in a cleaner, healthier, and in the end, a more prosperous and progressive city. In 2019, City Council adopted a Climate Emergency Declaration, and since then work has begun to align climate plans with the general plan and the transportation priorities plan. We applaud our leaders who have taken steps to start us down this path, yet, we must do more than plan, we must set our priorities, commit funding, and we must act. SABA, with support from Breathe, CA, ECOS, Civic Thread, Valley Vision, and the Midtown Neighborhood Association launched a petition to gather input from community members on the topics to be presented in the upcoming transportation workshop. Over 1300 individuals signed on asking you to make active transportation a priority (see attached document). It’s clear from the number of signees that a change is paramount if we are to meet our climate goals. Cities around the world have made incredible strides in recent years to reduce VMT — from pandemic responses in places like Bogota, London and Milan. Closer to home, big changes have taken place in the nation’s capital, Minneapolis, Chicago and Los Angeles; these cities have doubled their bicycle lanes, while New York and Seattle have more than tripled theirs.1 This has come to fruition because residents demanded it and local leaders prioritized it. We don’t need to return to business as usual, the pandemic has fundamentally altered our way of moving about. We need to rebalance our streets; reallocating road space in favor of people – including complete streets, road diets, shared streets and projects that are dedicated to walking, biking, and micromobility. We ask that you prioritize moving people, so that we can live in a cleaner, healthier, livable Sacramento. We endorse the “Big Idea” of a “seamless connected bike network within four miles of the Central City by closing gaps in the network and calming traffic”. In addition, everyone should be able to access this network within a quarter mile of their home and that closing the gaps in the existing network should be at the top of the funding list. A seamless, connected, low-stress regional network of bike lanes and trails would expand mobility options, increasing access to employment, health services and other resources. This network would be especially meaningful for populations that are underserved by, yet depend on, public transit. While Sacramento piloted a Slow and Active Streets project that had mixed success due to lack of implementation time, we think that the City should not turn away from the concept of car-free streets 1 Is the U.S becoming more bike friendly? National Geographic: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/is-the-us-becoming-more-bike-friendly#:~:text=Between%201991%20and%202021%2C%20there,Seattle%20more%20than%20tripled%20theirs.

909 12th Street. Ste 110 Sacramento, CA 95814 www.sacbike.org and districts. We endorse establishing car-free districts on weekend nights in areas that offer local commerce, recreation and the arts and culture, or permanently closing streets limiting access to areas by bicycle, walking, and micromobility. Cities around the world are implementing this concept, helping to shift the pervasive mindset that a car is the only way to get to around. Research has proven that expansion of bike lanes into communities of color can be a signal of impending gentrification, which can exacerbate issues of equity2. We both endorse the idea of bicycle superhighways coupled with deep engagement from our traditionally underserved communities. We ask that our local government work collaboratively with communities to prioritize equity for planning, funding and implementation of these important transportation projects. In light of the recent death of Lupe Jimenez Brown by a speeding driver while walking her kids to school, we endorse this “big idea” too: bring a Safe Routes to School program to every school in Sacramento, reducing speed limits around all of our schools and recommit and fund the City’s promise of Vision Zero. Sacramento needs a bold vision for transportation in which everyone can affordably, reliably, and safely reach their destinations — a vision that centers the needs of working people, makes our communities more connected, and leaves no one isolated. It requires more than steps towards electrification of vehicles, which remains financially out of reach for the majority of our citizens, does nothing to reduce congestion and will take decades to fully implement. It requires attention to a bold vision that we can move on right now, to reduce vehicle miles traveled by all of us. It requires a mode shift from moving cars to moving people. Our big idea is for you, our leaders on council and in public works, to prioritize, commit to, and fund the proposals brought before you today and to push for more. These ideas brought to you today are a good first step, but there are many big steps to take to help Sacramento become a world class city for biking and walking. Anything less is unacceptable. Allocate sufficient staff and resources to develop and implement these big ideas. Our community members are counting on you to set the vision, commit to allocating resources and to act so that Sacramento is among the best cities to live in for generations to come.

from petitioners: I believe that this is Sacramento's window of opportunity to make the changes necessary to make our city livable by walking, biking and rolling! The climate catastrophe barreling down the tracks toward us is something that requires urgent action...not just to make alternatives to autos viable, but to make neighborhoods that support walking, biking and transit by design. These are mixed-use (commerce and offices among the residences), mixed- Petition to Support Biking, Walking and Rolling in Sacramento https://sign.moveon.org/petitions/support-walking-and-biking-in-sacramento 1323 signatures as of 5:00PM on 2/7/22 19 density (low incomes accommodated), pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods...essentially like most of what was built before 1950, and is still valued. The thought of cycling in this city is terrifying. I bicycle for almost all of my local trips and agree that we need much improvement to make it safer and to encourage others to ride. Some parts of town are terrifying for cyclists! Have been commuting to work mostly by bike almost daily had many cars almost hit me when I had the right of the road to be there. Encouraging more people to get on their bikes with safer bike lanes and increased connectivity is going to make the City healthier place to live and support more sustainable development. I am sick of cars and inadequate driver sensitivity training. safe bike routes now!!! We need to build on our existing bicycle infrastructure to make Sacramento a world-class bicycling city! We deserve safe and comprehensive bicycle infrastructure. If our city prioritizes bikes, people will begin to prioritize bikes for their short trips!

Subject: SABA's Comment for the Climate and Transportation Workshop Workshop, 2/8/2022 at 5:00PM - Item 19

Honorable Mayor Steinberg and Councilmembers,

Please find Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates letter and comments for the upcoming Transportation and Climate Workshop. This workshop couldn't be more important as we believe we are at a crossroads in how our city could move into a better future.

Attached are two documents for your review:

1. Our letter and comments on the workshop topics, and

2. A petition signed by 1323 residents in favor of prioritizing active transportation in Sacramento.

We look forward to the workshop and discussion.

Best regards,

Ste 110 Sacramento, CA 95814 www.sacbike.org February 7, 2022 Dear Mayor Steinberg and City Council members, The Mayors’ Commission on Climate Change set out a climate vision for Sacramento that could usher in a cleaner, healthier, and in the end, a more prosperous and progressive city. In 2019, City Council adopted a Climate Emergency Declaration, and since then work has begun to align climate plans with the general plan and the transportation priorities plan. We applaud our leaders who have taken steps to start us down this path, yet, we must do more than plan, we must set our priorities, commit funding, and we must act. SABA, with support from Breathe, CA, ECOS, Civic Thread, Valley Vision, and the Midtown Neighborhood Association launched a petition to gather input from community members on the topics to be presented in the upcoming transportation workshop. Over 1300 individuals signed on asking you to make active transportation a priority (see attached document). It’s clear from the number of signees that a change is paramount if we are to meet our climate goals. Cities around the world have made incredible strides in recent years to reduce VMT — from pandemic responses in places like Bogota, London and Milan. Closer to home, big changes have taken place in the nation’s capital, Minneapolis, Chicago and Los Angeles; these cities have doubled their bicycle lanes, while New York and Seattle have more than tripled theirs.1 This has come to fruition because residents demanded it and local leaders prioritized it. We don’t need to return to business as usual, the pandemic has fundamentally altered our way of moving about. We need to rebalance our streets; reallocating road space in favor of people – including complete streets, road diets, shared streets and projects that are dedicated to walking, biking, and micromobility. We ask that you prioritize moving people, so that we can live in a cleaner, healthier, livable Sacramento. We endorse the “Big Idea” of a “seamless connected bike network within four miles of the Central City by closing gaps in the network and calming traffic”. In addition, everyone should be able to access this network within a quarter mile of their home and that closing the gaps in the existing network should be at the top of the funding list. A seamless, connected, low-stress regional network of bike lanes and trails would expand mobility options, increasing access to employment, health services and other resources. This network would be especially meaningful for populations that are underserved by, yet depend on, public transit. While Sacramento piloted a Slow and Active Streets project that had mixed success due to lack of implementation time, we think that the City should not turn away from the concept of car-free streets 1 Is the U.S becoming more bike friendly?

Steve Cohn,
Chair, SacMoves Coalition

February 4, 2022
To: Mayor Steinberg and City Councilmembers
The SacMoves coalition thanks the Mayor and City Council for requesting and supporting the February 8 Council workshop on Climate and Transportation and further thanks City staff for their thoughtful and thorough preparation for the workshop. SacMoves would like to take this opportunity to provide our perspective on and vision for urgent action on transportation planning and funding to address climate change.

As the City Council has acknowledged, climate change constitutes an emergency. The City of Sacramento cannot afford to wait and see how other cities and the world’s nations will respond to the need for urgent action.

In Sacramento, transportation is the source of over 50% of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Yet, our efforts to curb its impact on our environment remain woefully inadequate. This is the time for City Council to take unprecedented, comprehensive, and bold action to transform transportation in the City and the region. Such a transformation is nonnegotiable if we are to begin to respond to the imminent threat of climate change; it is also essential in fostering equity, addressing traffic safety, increasing the livability of our neighborhoods, and improving air quality. Sacramento can and must lead.

Specifically, we request the Mayor and City Council to take the following immediate actions:
· Direct the City Manager to include in the upcoming FY 2022-23 budget proposal funding for the seven “big idea” active transportation and transit projects proposed by City staff – to the extent multiple year capital outlays are required, these outlays should also be reflected in the proposed allocations in the 2022-2027 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
· Direct the City Manager to allocate sufficient staff and resources in the current fiscal year and/or FY2022-23 to ensure development and implementation of a comprehensive active transportation and public transit framework for the City. · Direct the City Manager to identify and strategically set aside funds necessary for the City’s local match to maximize the City’s leverage and competitiveness for federal and state transportation grants and SACOG and STA competitive grant programs to support active transportation and public transit projects that are identified with the City’s 2022- 2027 CIP, the City’s Transportation Priorities Program, and other City transportation plans.

Work with City staff, local businesses, developers, labor, and other community leaders to develop a comprehensive planning, outreach, advocacy, financing and implementation strategy to maximize the City’s leverage and competitiveness for transportation, land use, and climate change funding.

For the past two years, SacMoves has been leading a broad-based coalition of business, labor and community groups united behind a common vision that Sacramento should have an innovative, seamless, and diversified transportation network offering a wide range of accessible, affordable, and efficient mobility choices coupled with supportive land uses, better air quality, safer neighborhoods, and a stronger and more equitable economy. To that end, we have consistently advocated for the inclusion of projects and policies in transportation, land use, and climate action plans for the City, the Sacramento Transportation Authority, SACOG, and the greater Sacramento region that are consistent with the groundbreaking work of the Mayors’ Climate Change Commission.

In December 2019, the City of Sacramento adopted a Climate Emergency Declaration, committing to “taking significant action to sustain and accelerate municipal and community carbon elimination in the short term, with maximum feasible efforts to implement emergency- speed carbon reduction actions towards eliminating emissions by 2030 as much as possible.” The City has indeed taken impressive steps to facilitate electrification of vehicles by installing charging infrastructure and removing barriers to electric vehicle use. However, the City has been less effective to date in its strategies and investment to ensure a reduction in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) through land use and transportation planning and investments in active transportation and transit. Unfortunately, the City is nowhere close to meeting its goal for carbon neutrality. The City must change course from well-intentioned, but often ineffective, targets and goals for addressing climate change to concrete planning and funding that support a fundamental shift in transportation policy.

The Mayors’ Climate Commission recommended just such a fundamental change in course, finding that the City will need to facilitate drastic mode shifts to achieve widespread adoption of clean mobility options. The Commission’s recommended modal hierarchy prioritized active transportation as the healthiest and most efficient option, public transit and pooled shared mobility for longer trips, and finally zero-emission vehicles for trips where transit or active transportation is not a viable option.

Zero-emission vehicles alone cannot be the solution. The City must shift its focus from moving cars to moving people if we are going to have a chance of reaching our goals for carbon neutrality. We must plan for and invest in a variety of measures that support active transportation and transit, including infill developments, complete streets, comprehensive multimodal corridors, accessible and affordable mobility, among others. SacMoves supports the measures – the “seven big ideas” -- proposed by staff as important first steps.

At the same time, we implore City Council to continue to make progress toward a comprehensive active transportation and transit framework for the City. This requires the City to invest staff time and resources into the development and implementation of a comprehensive program of active transportation and transit projects. City Council must adjust its budgetary priorities to reflect the urgency of the unprecedented crisis we confront and ensure that City funding supports a bold and comprehensive approach to reducing VMT and GHG emissions.

Thank you for your consideration of these comments. We are eager to work with you and your staff on an active transportation and transit framework and projects that reflects the vision we all have for a sustainable city.

Yours truly,

The comments of Sacramento Metro Advocates for Rail and Transit (SMART) for the upcoming Transportation and Climate Workshop are provided both in text format below and in the attached PDF document. Thank you for prioritizing this workshop and considering our comments.

To: Mayor Steinberg and City Councilmembers
On behalf of Sacramento Metro Advocates for Rail and Transit (SMART), we thank the Mayor and City Council for scheduling the February 8 Council workshop on Climate and Transportation, particularly the panel of expert presenters. We also appreciate City staff’s thoughtful and thorough preparation and proposal of seven big ideas for the workshop.

In response to the staff proposals and in light of the emergency conditions imposed by climate change that the City Council has previously acknowledged, SMART requests the Mayor and City Council to take the following immediate and urgent actions on transportation planning and expenditures to protect the climate, meet the City’s proportionately large share of the regional greenhouse gas emission reduction target under SACOG’s 2020 Metropolitan Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities Strategy, and maintain a livable, affordable city under future growth:
·
Direct the City Manager to include in the upcoming FY 2022-23 budget proposal funding for the seven “big idea” active transportation and transit projects proposed by City staff – to the extent multiple year capital outlays are required, these outlays should also be reflected in the proposed allocations in the 2022-2027 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
·
Direct the City Manager to allocate sufficient staff and resources in the current fiscal year and/or FY2022-23 to ensure development and implementation of a comprehensive active transportation and public transit framework for the City, including improving safe walking, bicycling and transit access in North Sacramento, Broadway-Fruitridge, and South Sacramento through the Active Streets effort.
·
Direct the City Manager to identify and strategically set aside funds necessary for the City’s local match to maximize the City’s leverage and competitiveness for federal and state transportation grants and SACOG and STA competitive grant programs to support active transportation and public transit projects that are identified with the City’s 2022- 2027 CIP, the City’s Transportation Priorities Program, and other City transportation plans.
·
Work with City staff, local businesses, developers, labor, and other community leaders to develop a comprehensive planning, outreach, advocacy, financing and implementation strategy to maximize the City’s leverage and competitiveness for transportation, land use, and climate change funding.

It is vitally important that the City focus its implementation in neighborhoods and communities in the City where public expenditures on active transportation and transit infrastructure have not yet been at a level to begin to provide the benefits above. Protecting our climate must include retrofitting automobile-only infrastructure and reversing patterns of diversion of public funds and disinvestment.

In Sacramento, transportation is the source of over fifty percent of our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The City has already adopted the Mayors’ Commission on Climate Change transportation strategies and goals, including large percentage increases in transit use in the city in just a few short years, and incorporated many priorities of the 2020 SMART/SacMoves Transportation Policy Framework into a council resolution in 2020 during development of the proposed sales tax measure before the Sacramento Transportation Authority. In keeping with these prior recent actions City Council has the opportunity to take unprecedented, comprehensive, and bold action to adopt and fund transit supportive policies and infrastructure.

The City’s leadership in investing in its adopted strategies to ensure a reduction in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) is extremely important to demonstrate its commitment to taking local action on the global climate emergency. It will also provide clear benefits in terms of cleaner air, reduced stress on household budgets, increased travel safety, and connecting people and destinations more easily, thus amplifying the impact of expenditures to reduce emissions and VMT.

Both the 2020 SMART/SacMoves Framework and the MCCC recommended a fundamental change in course. The MCCC found that the City will need to facilitate drastic travel mode shifts to achieve widespread adoption of clean mobility options. The Commission’s recommended modal hierarchy prioritized active transportation as the healthiest and most efficient option, public transit and pooled shared mobility for longer trips, and finally zero- emission vehicles for trips where transit or active transportation is not a viable option.

Zero-emission vehicles alone cannot be the solution. The City must shift its focus from moving cars to moving people if we are going to have a chance of reaching our goals for carbon neutrality, transportation safety, affordability, cleaner air, and seamless multi-modal connectivity. We must plan for and invest in a variety of measures that support active transportation and transit, including infill developments, complete streets, comprehensive multimodal corridors, accessible and affordable mobility, among others.

To: Mayor Steinberg and City Councilmembers

Breathe California Sacramento Region (BREATHE) writes in strong support of active transportation in Sacramento to reduce climate change and to address the lack of equity underserved communities face. BREATHE has a long-standing history as a non-profit organization that advocates for clean air and accessible transportation for all, including being one of the groups involved in bringing light rail to Sacramento in 1987. But there is still more work to be done to stop urban sprawl, increase infill, and reduce reliance on vehicle ownership. Today, we are asking the city to put an emphasis on spending money on more diverse transportation options, particularly those that would reduce climate change.

The lack of equitable access to transportation options in the Sacramento region has led to adverse air quality and poor lung health conditions for many of our community’s most overlooked residents. The largest source of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in California is transportation. In 2018, California Air Resources Board reported that statewide GHG emissions were 418.2 million metric tons, while The City of Sacramento reported contributing 30,650.02 metric tons of those GHG emissions due to transportation alone. These pollutions damage immune systems and cause respiratory problems, especially in urban areas that have higher emission concentrations and experience the heat island effect created by a lack of tree cover. According to a Health Affairs Policy Brief, more access to equitable transportation will reduce motor vehicle- related emissions.

The burdens of poor air quality, lack of transportation options, and climate change tend to impact disadvantaged communities adversely. The Union of Concerned Scientists states that because Californians without a vehicle tend to live in urban areas surrounded by vehicle traffic and high polluting corridors and highways, they are exposed to more vehicle pollution. Public transportation will reduce the poor air quality burden on disadvantaged communities by focusing travel options more on walking, biking, and high occupancy vehicles.

According to the Safe Routes Partnership, active transportation planners need to consider how the built environment and social services impact active transportation access. We will never be able to appropriately address the equity, air quality, public health, and climate change issues our region faces if we do not start to prioritize social equity and active transportation. Putting a focus less on vehicles and more on safe walking and biking routes to vital locations such as work or medical appointments is important to addressing equity disparities that persist in our community. Walking and biking is the most affordable and has the least impact on the environment when considering transportation options and everyone should feel safe when doing so.

We appreciate your consideration in equity and climate change when increasing active transportation options within Sacramento County and hope that you will prioritize these when implementing the Climate Action and Adaptation Plan.

Sincerely,

Stacy Springer, CEO

Hello Ms.Valenzuela,
I hope you are doing well! We haven't officially met but I think we spoke briefly with one another one morning at Crocker/Riverside elementary school a couple of months ago. My daughter attends school there. Anyway, I am writing this email to urge you, in advance of the upcoming Transportation workshop, to commit to and fund a comprehensive active transportation system that prioritizes safety, addresses inequities, reduces air pollution, reduces traffic congestion, decreases the cost of transportation, and creates a vibrant, livable city.

This is an issue that I feel pretty passionately about and think about on almost a daily basis. I recently put together this video offering assistance to the Crocker/Riverside community to promote walking and biking to school. https://youtu.be/znWBX0b3l_Q Getting a few more people to walk or bike to school isn't going to make a big dent in addressing some of our areas big problems of reducing traffic congestion, emissions from that congestion, etc. but City does have the opportunity to make a big difference in terms of making our streets safer for ALL users, not just those in automobiles and to make Sacramento a vibrant and livable city in the future.

Thank you,
Joel Guzman

Mayor Steinberg & City Council
”Transportation and transportation equity is everything, it’s synonymous to providing access and opportunities for everyone.”
These are the words of Ms. Nuria Fernandez, the Administrator of the Federal Transit Administration. She was briefly interviewed by the U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, this past Friday, February 4, 2022, which was Transit Equity Day as well as Rosa Parks Birthday.

I open my public comment in the form of an e-mail with this quote to emphasize the importance of equity and transportation and how it must go hand in hand as part of the framework in transportation projects.

I appreciate you taking the time to sincerely read my approval of the proposed projects for Tuesday, February 8th, Climate and Transportation workshop, as well as a suggestion for future workshops that city council may consider having. As an advocate for many things like transportation, I think that the connection of bikeways and a dedicated bus lane is the first bold step to reimagining the City of Sacramento on the equitable path of transportation justice.

The proposed plan to connect bikeways and make them into superhighways is quite fascinating. This project will not only be considered innovative for Sacramento’s bikeway system, it will address air quality and climate change and attempt to cut pollution. This proposed connection creates more opportunities to reach destinations without being car dependent. This highway will also attract cyclists, naturists and tourists, while promoting a healthier alternative mode of transportation, reducing pressure on the roads and simultaneously reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

This innovative project will hopefully keep equity first and foremost when connecting and filling the gaps of the listed trails to make this highway complete with wide enough pathways for those jogging, walking, riding bicycles and wheelchairs from children to the elderly to enjoy the safety and accessibility that it will bring.

I would like for the Mayor, City Council and city staff to take into consideration expanding the Ninos Parkway to go over the I-80 freeway to truly have access to the heart of Sacramento. North and South Natomas still lack equitable access to different modes of infrastructure and transportation to other parts of Sacramento.

I also would like for the Mayor, City Council and city staff to consider including lighting and wayfinding guidance for the bikeway super highway for the traveling pedestrians and bicyclists.

I also support the proposed Stockton Blvd dedicated bus lane. This proposed service will produce lower carbon-emissions, cut down commutes, possibly boost ridership, create bike lanes, reduce transportation costs and provide the residents of Sacramento a reliable alternative mode of transportation than a car. The bikeway superhighway and Stockton Blvd dedicated bus lane are transportation solutions that go beyond the comfort of single-occupancy vehicles.

I support the transportation planning manager proposal for an accessible transportation alternative to the car and I encourage that the Mayor and City Council grant the City Manager the ability to allocate and distribute funds in this proactive transit investment to allow these projects to be successful and come to fruition. “Every transportation decision is inherently a decision about equity…” These are the words U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg said at his Department of Transportation conference on his Vision for Transportation Equity on January 13, 2022.

If there is a future workshop, please consider having a member of the Active Transportation Commission, Sacramento Youth Commission and a few transportation advocates participate. These valuable stakeholders who are also the city’s transportation partners that have expertise and (lived) experience are essential to the decision process of eliminating barriers and promoting projects that will elevate equity in the transportation system of Sacramento.

Once again, thank you for taking my comments into consideration and I look forward to the advancement in transportation in Sacramento.

RE: Workshop on Accelerating Transportation Measures to reach carbon Neutrality by 2030
Thank you for hosting the workshop and recognizing that 2030 must be our target for carbon neutrality. Environmental justice must be the primary objective. Therefore, we are writing to share our input on the following:

Improve public transportation in all communities ( practically low-income communities and communities of color) to get people out of personal vehicles. Adopt and Implement policies in transportation and land use decisions that consider ways to reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMTs).

1. Develop and implement best practices for charging stations and other supporting infrastructure (e.g., running power to electric panels) necessary to support Electric Vehicles (EVs) for not only single-family homes, but also the more challenging installations at rental complexes, parking garages, and business establishments.

2. Fund projects that promote walking, biking, and rolling that includes separated bikeways, secure bicycle parking, adequate lighting, cooler bus stops during summer months, wider sidewalks, public safety, and traffic calming in all communities.

3. Secure funding for startup grants for local EV conversion businesses, an EJ issue.

Middle- and low-income people usually buy used cars.

4. Explore and develop infrastructure for Electric Vehicle options as a primary and secondary vehicle.

5. Install rapid charging stations in large apartment complexes. Lower-level charging stations are more appropriate to smaller apartment or condo complexes with garages or assigned parking. Federal funding should be secured for Environmental Justice communities and low-income housing to install charging stations.

Finally, direct staff to seek input from low-income communities, communities of color and the unhoused on these critical issues.

Thank you for your leadership and your consideration

Attached below: League of Women Voters of Sacramento County’s official statement on Climate & Transportation Workshop
Thank you for your consideration.

Brenda Main
President, League of Women Voters of Sacramento County
[email protected]

Thank you for scheduling this important workshop and for allowing members of the Sacramento community to listen, learn and comment in this relatively informal setting.

Thank you, also, for inspiring the energy and quality City staff has put into developing these big ideas.

Summary
In the following comments, the League of Women Voters of Sacramento County urges the City Council to direct the City Manager to identify funding sources and to allocate sufficient staff and other resources to successfully develop the City staff’s proposed projects. In addition, we urge the City Council to fund the projects and participate in staff engagement with all identified, affected neighborhoods in your respective districts.

Finally, we urge the City Council and the Office of the City Manager to recognize the scale and scope of the global climate-change emergency, and to align the City’s programs, services and funding with the transformation it must undertake to address that scale and scope—with particular attention to the disproportionate effects of climate change on marginalized communities.

The League Supports the Transportation-Related Recommendations in the Final Report by the Mayors’ Commission on Climate Change 1 We believe that report calls for the appropriate priorities for planning, developing and funding the City’s transportation projects, specifically:

A three-tiered strategy for limiting the effects of transportation on climate change:
•First-tier measures promoting “active transportation.” Safe, accessible, active- transportation measures reduce traffic congestion, fuel consumption, with its associated air-quality and greenhouse-gas impacts, and threats to personal and public safety.
•Second-tier measures, promoting public and private transit, and ride-share programs. These measures reduce the number of single-occupant vehicles but may continue to contribute to traffic congestion, air-quality and greenhouse-gas impacts, and the threat to safety.
•Final-tier measures, promoting the use of zero-emission vehicles. These vehicles effectively eliminate emissions, but ZEVs would do little to affect traffic congestion and the threat to safety.

Achieving Carbon Zero in Sacramento and West Sacramento by 2045 1

The League believes it is particularly notable that the Commission’s report begins its recommendations by observing that the process by which Sacramento develops, funds and implements measures is just as important as what those measures are. We agree.

Transportation is a means, not an end. Its potential consequences are local, as well as global, and it is the distribution of the local effects of transportation that call for equity to be a first priority in planning.

We believe the following Commission-recommended strategies are essential to successful, fair and equitable outcomes:
[Sacramento should] pursue these equity strategies to ensure fair and equitable outcomes while avoiding unintended harm to marginalized communities:

1.Operationalize equity by providing education, ensuring shared decision- making, and allocating resources that address historical and current disparities.

2.Authentically and inclusively involve marginalized communities and populations that have been historically left out of the policymaking and governance process as co-creators in all planning and implementation phases to ensure fair, equitable outcomes.

3.Expand the capacities of cultural brokers and community-based organizations that have established relationships with marginalized communities, leveraging existing community engagement efforts when possible.

Accessibility, inclusivity and shared decision-making lie at the heart of these strategies. All of the recommendations should be interpreted through a clear and focused equity lens. 2
The League Supports Staff’s Big Ideas, As Far as They Go The proposed projects all focus on first- and second-tier measures: active transportation or enhancing public transit. They appear to meet existing needs and to have community support. Finally, the City plans to engage with the affected communities about improving active transpiration and transit in their areas. The City should continue this engagement as projects are funded and begin development.

The City’s challenge is to identify funding and to allocate sufficient staff and other resources to bring about these projects. Equally important, these projects affect and are affected by other regional entities, including SACOG, RT, and STA. The City must engage with these entities as the projects progress.The success of your projects can help to inspire the necessary transformation these other entities must also undertake to address the climate emergency we face.

Ibid., p. 212
However, transformation begins at home: integrating transportation planning with land- use planning is essential to reaching our collective climate goals; early and informed public participation in the process promotes a sense of shared goals, and extensive public-education is a critical step in successful, fair and equitable outcomes.

These Big Ideas Are Only a Beginning
The City Council and City Staff must see these ideas as only a first step on a very challenging path to climate neutrality.

To attain the City’s own goal of climate neutrality, it must address the transportation sector by transforming the way people go from one place to another. The City will need to significantly broaden the scale and scope of its transportation-related programs, services and funding to attain the transformation called for by the scale and scope the global climate emergency.

Most importantly, that transformation can only be successful if it involves ongoing engagement with affected communities, and interrelated entities and their own communities. Successful transformation requires a broad-based, public-education program to promote understanding and shared purpose. Educating all of the city’s ethnically, culturally and linguistically diverse residents is paramount.

Thank you for your consideration of these comments.

RE: Climate and Transportation Plan Support
Dear City Council Members,
North Natomas Jibe is pleased to support staff recommendations to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) by reducing vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Jibe strongly supports prioritizing funding for bicycle superhighways that facilitate a shift from driving alone to commuting by bicycle.

Jibe’s mission is to foster transportation behaviors that enhance our community through advocacy, programs, placemaking, education, and services. For years, we have been working with the City to complete and improve Jackrabbit Trail,a centrally located, north-south Class 1 bike trail that, when completed, will go from W Elkhorn Blvd, to downtown and beyond. This bike trail is a valuable amenity to the residents of North Natomas. It allows cyclists of all skill levels to access destinations conveniently and safely. This widely used trail connects to Sacramento State, City College, employment centers downtown, and more. However, gaps along the trail continue to be barriers to cycling. Access to a connected bike trail is a major consideration for people choosing to leave their cars at home and biking at all.

Adoption of electric cars is a key strategy in reducing GHG in transportation but can only be successful paired with policies to reduce overall VMT. A significant number of people in our community do not drive, and many cannot afford an electric car. Prioritizing active transportation projects is not only cost effective, but also has the potential to equitably serve more residents.

The City has existing transportation plans that, if built, will further the goals of reducing GHG by reducing VMT. But plans require funding and strong political will to become reality. If the City is to reduce VMT by 13% - the goal laid out by the Climate Action Plan - it must take bold action now. We urge the Council to continue the good work in place by prioritizing funding projects that will make our city more bike friendly.

Thank you for the opportunity to support staff recommendations that reduce VMT. Please contact me [email protected], or 916-419-9955 if I can assist further.

Subject: Recommendations for the City of Sacramento Transportation Workshop

Mr. Mayor and City Councilmember Valenzuela,

Below are five recommendations that the City of Sacramento needs to take to resolve our GHG problems related to transportation:

1. Improve public transportation to get people out of personal vehicles. Adopt and Implement policies in transportation and land use decisions that consider ways to reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMTs).

2. Develop best practices for charging stations and other supporting infrastructure (e.g., running power to electric panels) necessary to support Electric Vehicles (EVs) for not only single family homes, but also the more challenging installations at rental complexes, parking garages, and business establishments.

3. Fund projects that promote walking, biking, and rolling that include: separated bikeways, secure bicycle parking, adequate lighting, cooler bus stops during summer months, wider sidewalks, public safety, and traffic calming.

4. Ban Permits for “Gas” only stations. Permit only multiple sources fueling stations with the space for parking spots while charging.

5. All transportation projects must consider environmental justice and equity in all phases of work prioritization and funding for all phases of work.

Look Beyond Transportation
What will probably be missing from this workshop is a much bigger and broader approach to planning. You will miss the mark if you neglect to consider, in each decision made, environmental justice, equity, impacts to unhoused individuals, and many more social and economic issues that are linked to transportation. Decision must be sustainable and resilient, and need to consider impacted neighborhoods that are being neglected in the planning processes.

Last, when our elected gasp at the costs of needed actions, remember that the cost of waiting or not acting now will be much greater. We already see the costs from climate emergencies that are already happening (e.g., fires and extreme weather conditions). And while our elected officials may not be in office to see the benefits of their tough decisions (because it will take this decade and maybe more time to fix the problem), you will know you made the right decisions by voting to funding programs that will direct our county, state, nation and planet in the right direction.

While I don’t live in the city, I do often go to the city for meals, theatre, music, and to visit friends. Before my retirement, i worked in the city for 20 years. I rode the 109 Express bus or took light rail from Hazel Avenue Station to get to work. As a person living in Fair Oaks, I thank you for considering my suggestions.

And, thank you for your dedication to solving our climate crisis.

Re: Transportation & Climate Workshop
Sacramento Transit Advocates and Riders (STAR) supports the identification of Stockton Blvd and SacRT Route 51 as location for a high quality transit corridor to meet the city’s Transportation and Climate goal to reduce private vehicle VMT. Route 51 is the highest ridership route in the system, and serves a number of low income neighborhood, small business, medical providers and job centers.

The Stockton Blvd Corridor Project identifies several improvements to bus service along Stockton Blvd, but there were a number of compromises with other travel modes and the roadway right-of-way. Though no detail has yet been provided, it is implied that the corridor under the Transportation & Climate program will be an even better design for transit. We feel that the closer the corridor and route come to true Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), the better it will serve riders and the community. Compromise should always be in favor of transit.

A high quality bus facility should include:

1.Continuous bus lanes, clearly marked, and including red paint in any location where there might be confusion.

2.Transit frequency of 10 minutes during peak times, and 15 minutes at other times.

3.Elimination of bus pull-outs that require buses to pull out of and then then back into traffic. Bus boarding should be from bus boarding islands, where bike lanes are present, or the curb where parking or bike lanes are not present.

4.Bus stops long enough to allow easy and safe all-door boarding, including the potential of high capacity articulated buses. All bus pads should be concrete rather than asphalt.

5.Safe crossings of Stockton Blvd at every bus stop, with at a minimum RRFB treatment, and higher safety where appropriate.

For high quality transit to work, there must also be the ability to easily and safely get to and from bus stops. That means high quality sidewalks along the corridor (8 foot minimum) and along all side streets (6 foot minimum). It means separated bikeways on all arterial roadways and at least buffered bike lanes on all collector roadways.

The city should be working with the county to ensure that the high quality transit corridor is extended south all the way to Florin Road, and then to Mack Road for the medical complex.

Beyond this corridor, there are ample opportunities to improve transit operation and access throughout the city. The next route to be focused on is 81, the next highest ridership route. Bus pullouts should be removed, except at time points where the bus may need to dwell to get back on schedule. Placing bus stops in the general purpose travel lanes is the best way to ensure that routes remain on schedule.

Eliminating street running sections of light rail where conflicts are occurring would also increase ridership by reducing transit times.

Amenities at bus stops are critical important to increasing transit ridership. Though the facilities themselves are in many cases the responsibility of the transit agency, the city is responsible for providing sufficient bus stop areas to contain those facilities. Wide sidewalks that can contain the facilities are needed, and bus shelters should not narrow a sidewalk beyond six feet.

Even though it is unlikely I will be riding a bike, because of physical limitations, I do support a network of bike trails. I would encourage the city to consider what Milan, Italy has done regarding bike trails. It looks like a bicycle wheel and it's spokes with concentric circles connecting at intervals, like a giant spider web. I would even encourage the City to collaborate with the county to expand this Idea. I know a Cyclist can often beat any transit system in getting where they need to go. This will encourage more people to bike if they are safe from motor vehicles. This is so important. I had a neighbor who was hit by a car while biking to work and is now a permanent resident of an extended Care Facility. He is no longer a working taxpayer, but a shell of his former twenty something self. The safety bike trails provide is most important and if combined with sidewalks, it can provide pedestrian safety as well. I would encourage the City and county to plant shade trees along these routes to provide the cooling we desperately need in the summer months.

This is an important start to a Climate Saving transportation plan. There are many more adjustments the City should take if we are to make serious reductions in GreenHouse Gasses.

We will enjoy cleaner air and less lung disease, cancer, heart attacks, and diabetes. The Trails can provide the exercise known to improve mental health as well. This is a win-win for health, economics,GHG reduction and the environment.

Dear Mayor Steinberg, City Councilmembers, and Public Works Department Staff,

I teach Bicycle Technology at Inderkum High School, a year-long Career Technical Education class where students learn bike mechanics, riding skills, and gain career education. One of our main units is on learning to bike in traffic, following the California Vehicle Code as it applies to people on bicycles. We take weekly rides, navigating various bicycle infrastructure (or lack thereof) and experiencing the realities of traffic in North Natomas. For many of my students, this is the only time they ride bikes due to various challenges and concerns, mainly safety around motor vehicles. When we ride along the trails of North Natomas, we are given temporary respite from dangerous traffic interactions, unfriendly drivers, and motor vehicle emissions. Improving the off- street bike trail network is an essential part of encouraging and sustaining bicycle riders, especially new ones, like many of my students and their families. I urge Council to invest in fixing trail gaps; for example, the only way to cross the Jackrabbit Trail at Club Center is to ride along the narrow sidewalk (impossible if anyone else is also using it), or merge across multiple lanes of traffic and make a u-turn a block away. This kind of poorly designed infrastructure ends up being more dangerous because people will take risks and opt for more convenient but less safe options or give up entirely.

These students are living in a world where the climate is increasingly unstable. Fire seasons last year-round and air quality reaches unhealthy levels on a regular basis. Sacramento's leading cause of greenhouse gas emissions is from transportation, not surprising for a city intersected by increasingly widened freeways. Motor vehicle transportation has long been given priority access and funding, despite near-ideal biking conditions and potential. While electric vehicles may seem enticing, bicycles are less expensive, more environmentally-friendly and equitable, and just plain fun to use to get around when the infrastructure is there to support it. By investing in and prioritizing Bicycle Superhighways, you are helping to create a better future for Sacramento and everyone living here.

Kids and bikes are a natural combination, I bet most of you can think back fondly to that first taste of freedom, pedaling away with the wind in your hair and a grin plastered to your face. Young people these days don't often get those experiences because riding a bike is less safe and less available for them. Investing in better bicycle infrastructure helps to bring back this freedom and joy to our community while decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, it's a win for all!

Please take a moment to read some of my students' letters and concerns that they would like to share with you.

We thank you for your time and efforts to create a safer and healthier future for Sacramento.

All the best,

Elle

Dear Mayor Steinberg, City Council Members, and Public Works staff, My Name is Tami Rouse and I am currently attending Inderkum High School.

I am reaching out to you about the transportation issues surrounding the general area of the school.

Many people, especially the students attending schools in Natomas, use bikes as their everyday transportation, but not enough people. Many people feel discouraged from riding their bikes to school, to work, or other places because of the lack of variety in bike trails and accessible routes. There are not nearly enough trails that are accessible to more people and trails that connect to more general areas. With the lack of trails and safe routes for bikers, many people resort to driving, or taking the bus. With Sacramento transportation being a high contributor of greenhouse gas emissions, and Natomas being in between two major freeways, there is a lot of pollution and greenhouse gas emissions that we are subjected to every day. They could be reduced if more people were encouraged to bike.

I am genuinely concerned about climate change and greenhouse gas emissions because it heats up the planet at a quicker rate. I am writing to you because I wish to improve not only biking routes, but also decrease the usage of automobiles and their emissions.

Sincerely,
Tami Rouse

Dear Mayor Steinberg, City Council Members, and Public Works staff, My Name is Robert McClelland and I am currently attending Inderkum Highschool. As a resident of district 1, I am reaching out to you about Biker Safety in the Community.

I am genuinely concerned about the biking safety in some areas around where I live. A lot of roads have very thin and limited bike lanes. Cars often zoom by right next to me and I often feel like I will be hit. Some places, such as East Commerce, don’t even have sidewalks. I have seen elementary school students walking on the median and biking with cars speeding within feet of them. I would like to see money be invested in ideas such as wider bike lanes, or even better, more bike paths that extend to far lengths. Whenever I bike on the bike path near my neighborhood, I feel safe and at ease, and would love to have them stretch farther and have them be a bit wider.

Sacramento has great bicycling potential, but safety lacks in certain areas and bike paths are limited to go a short distance and I would love to see the paths go further, as to allow me to go further and for all bikers to feel more at ease.

Sincerely,

Dear Mayor Steinberg, City Council Members, and Public Works staff, My Name is Kyah Hurd and I am currently attending Inderkum High School.

As a resident of district Natomas Unified, I am reaching out to you about the road being unsafe and inefficient for people to ride their bike safely without a dangerous encounter. I am enrolled in a Bike tech class and have the opportunities to see different paths and roads that are more difficult than others to ride on.

I am genuinely concerned about traffic that interferes daily with bike riders.

Riding downtown there are many obstacles that are dangerous to riding a bike which makes it less likely for people to want to continue doing it in unsafe places. There are many nearby places, restaurants and parks to go to in downtown, but because of the lack of bike lanes that are safe to ride in, it makes it less attractive to riders who want to ride.

I have been riding my bike since I was a little girl and I found it to be fun, easy and a free feeling way of getting around. It can be scary being on such a small vehicle compared to a car, and without any clear safe pathways, you have to be extra alert that you are being seen. I have an older brother who rides his bike to and from work during night and day. There was a time he was riding over the overpass on Truxel, and a car hit his leg and sped away. They did not even stop to make sure he was okay, they purposely left. This is a lot more common than one may think. Although he may not have been seriously injured, he was traumatized by the experience and had to get the courage to ride a bike to work again. Anything can happen on the road, but it makes it that much more difficult when there are roads only specifically created for cars and trucks. The way that the road is constructed, bike lanes almost look like they are not even there most of the time. It is hard when you are riding on your bike, and suddenly the bike lane disappears. It is bound that an unwanted encounter will occur. If there were clear bike lanes and paths that connect

everywhere, as there are car lanes, the transportation change would be undoubtedly noticeable.

These are good reasons to make sure to improve bike highways and create a ensured safe way for cyclists to feel safe no matter how many cars or traffic is around. People should not be scared to ride a bike; they should feel free.

Sincerely,
Kyah Hurd

Dear Mayor Steinberg, City Council Members, and Public Works staff, My Name is Yeshua Contto and I am currently attending Inderkum High School. As a resident of district 2, I am reaching out to you about the GHG emissions issue that can be dangerous for the environment in our community. I am genuinely concerned about how our motor-vehicle friendly environment is becoming a pollution issue that could easily be resolved with other methods of transportation. I’m writing to support city plans to address climate change by improving transportation options. Bicycles are a great way to decrease vehicle miles traveled but our community isn’t really designed to support cyclists, and can even be dangerous for them.

I am asking that the Council make a few major changes in our community to encourage bike riding in a safe way that should inevitably be beneficial to the community. There are quite a few pot holes that can be very dangerous for cyclists to use when they need to “share the lane” with a motor vehicle. There are also little to no specified bike lanes, only the “invisible” bike lanes that are assumed by motor vehicle operators. Creating a bike- friendly environment can encourage citizens to bike to work, home, or to a friend’s house, and thus can reduce GHG emissions from vehicles.

My name is Lizbeth Santillan Jauregui and I am currently attending Inderkum High as a senior. As a resident of district 3, I am reaching out to you regarding the climate change and transportation workshop.

I am genuinely concerned about how climate change can and will affect our lives in the near future if we do nothing to change it. I’m writing to support city plans to address climate change by improving transportation options.

While Sacramento already has many trails for biking and walking that reach a large distance, they could be better and eventually encourage more bikers and walkers. I personally take the SacRT bus to school every day since my parents feel that biking on Truxel Road is not safe. Since I am adamant on reducing my carbon footprint, I would rather take the bus than drive to school every day. However, on days where the bus is not available, I would like the option for a safe and reliable trail that allows me to bike to school.

I am asking that the Council consider a bike trail that connects South and North Natomas for safe transportation. And for the days where the weather is not suitable for biking to promote and work on more, reliable bus routes to work or school rather than driving.

Sincerely,
Lizbeth Santillan Jauregui

Dear Mayor Steinberg, City Council Members, and Public Works staff, My name is Justus Chernow, and I am currently attending Inderkum High School. As a resident of district one, I am reaching out to you about improvements to trail access for bicyclists.

I am genuinely concerned about limited accessibility to bike trails, along with the maintenance and improvement of bike lanes. I’m writing to support city plans to address climate change by improving transportation options.

Sacramento has great bicycling potential, but the ability to truly utilize such potential is lost when many of the trails we have are difficult for riders to access, as well as when bike lanes are occupied by cars and aren’t of adequate size for riders to navigate in or access.

I am asking if the Council would be so kind as to look into means of improving connections between segments of bicycle trails in order to further encourage citizens to use bicycles, as well as improve positioning and size of existing bike lanes. One primary example of the first issue is with Jackrabbit Trail, specifically the portion separated by car lanes by the North Natomas Clubhouse and CVS Pharmacy. Adding a crosswalk or method for bike riders to move through the center could enable them to easily travel across without having to stop and go down to the crosswalks that are farther away. This can improve overall ride efficiency by letting them continue their journey along the trails at an unimpeded, faster rate (showing others around them how effective biking is as a method of transportation compared to driving), while also building connections between these separate parts of the same trail. Also, prohibiting the parking of motorized vehicles in lanes specifically designated for bikes would be helpful for any riders who want to use them for their commutes.

Personally, I have ridden in many bike lanes during my five-mile ride to and from school. Some drivers preoccupied on their phones have also swerved at

high speeds into crosswalks when other bikes and I had the right-of-way, almost resulting in my injury. Despite this, they had the nerve to believe that I was the one causing an issue. While riding home, I had been tightly “sandwiched” so-to-speak between cars on opposite sides, avoided car doors going to school and the park on some occasions, and had had to avoid debris going in either direction. The cleaning and better positioning of these lanes could help encourage riders to take them more often, as well as increase their sense of security when biking. When accompanied by better bike path connectivity and clearer indications of when bike riders are accessing areas (or which areas are accessible via bike), they can help allow Sacramento to realize its safety and bicycling potential overall.

Dear Mayor Steinberg, City council members and Public Works staff, My Name is Isaac and I am currently attending Inderkum high school. As a resident of district 1, I am reaching out to you about improving the bike trials that we have here in North Natomas.

I am genuinely concerned about this subject on improving trails because that may be the reason many decide to take their car instead of bicycles. I’m writing to support city plans to address climate change by improving transportation options.

Sacramento has great bicycling potential but it does not have great accessibility for bike riders trying to go to grocery stores or daily tasks.

Sacramento has decent quality trails like the Jackrabbit Trail that goes across North Natomas but what Sacramento needs is more trails that goes to stores because more people would want to ride their bikes to the grocery store instead of wasting gas on one-mile drives to the store.

I am asking that the Council address this subject because it may be one of the reasons people view their bicycles as entertainment or fun but instead view it as their transportation method that gets them to and from stores and other necessary destinations.

Sincerely,
Isaac Rangel

Dear Mayor Steinberg, City Council Members, and Public Works staff, My name is Jonathan Rona and I am currently attending Inderkum High School. As a resident of district 1, I am reaching out to you about concerns regarding the future of biking in our district.

I believe that it is important that we as a district/community begin to invest in greener and productive transportation. I also believe that biking is the solution to this idea. Biking includes plenty of benefits, it’s a cheap and reliable mode of transportation that requires no gas, and limits your carbon footprint. If we can convince more people to ride bikes, the benefits are worthwhile. In my opinion the changes to bike safety/transportation here in our district is not sufficient if we want to progress. In this letter I will argue the need for pushing bike use, bike superhighways, benefits, and safety.

Bikes have been described as the best mode of transportation, but what does reality say? Although bikes are not the fastest and most efficient for long distances, it is the small benefits within communities that can create great change. First off, the benefits for our environment. Biking greatly reduces our carbon footprint by 67% (Oxford). This means cleaner and healthier air.

Biking also reduces costs in transportation and structure maintenance. With investments into bicycle highways, we spend less and materials on car roads/highways. But why should we spend resources on this highway that is made specifically for bikes and would people want to pedal bikes instead of using a car you could just press buttons in? If we consider the opportunity to improve short distance transportation in your community, would you at least try, especially with all the benefits biking brings? We’re not even talking about long distance. At least try creating highways from densely populated areas to dense areas of commerce. You could even experiment for 3 years, then if it proves worthwhile, you could begin expanding and building more highways. I personally would not want to see a loss in money, but if that loss of money led to us learning that bicycles superhighways are not the way to go then I think it was worth it to try. The key part of this is the incentive and attraction of bicyclists. The city must try their best to make biking attractive.

Thank you for your consideration,

Jonathan Rona

Please include this message for agenda item 19 for the Feb. 8th, 5pm meeting. Thank you! Dear Mayor Steinberg, City Councilmembers, and Public Works Department Staff, I teach Bicycle Technology at Inderkum High School, a year-long Career Technical Education class where students learn bike mechanics, riding skills, and gain career education. One of our main units is on learning to bike in traffic, following the California Vehicle Code as it applies to people on bicycles. We take weekly rides, navigating various bicycle infrastructure (or lack thereof) and experiencing the realities of traffic in North Natomas. For many of my students, this is the only time they ride bikes due to various challenges and concerns, mainly safety around motor vehicles. When we ride along the trails of North Natomas, we are given temporary respite from dangerous traffic interactions, unfriendly drivers, and motor vehicle emissions. Improving the off-street bike trail network is an essential part of encouraging and sustaining bicycle riders, especially new ones, like many of my students and their families. I urge Council to invest in fixing trail gaps; for example, the only way to cross the Jackrabbit Trail at Club Center is to ride along the narrow sidewalk (impossible if anyone else is also using it), or merge across multiple lanes of traffic and make a u-turn a block away. This kind of poorly designed infrastructure ends up being more dangerous because people will take risks and opt for more convenient but less safe options or give up entirely.

These students are living in a world where the climate is increasingly unstable. Fire seasons last year-round and air quality reaches unhealthy levels on a regular basis. Sacramento's leading cause of greenhouse gas emissions is from transportation, not surprising for a city intersected by increasingly widened freeways. Motor vehicle transportation has long been given priority access and funding, despite near-ideal biking conditions and potential. While electric vehicles may seem enticing, bicycles are less expensive, more environmentally- friendly and equitable, and just plain fun to use to get around when the infrastructure is there to support it. By investing in and prioritizing Bicycle Superhighways, you are helping to create a better future for Sacramento and everyone living here.

Kids and bikes are a natural combination, I bet most of you can think back fondly to that first taste of freedom, pedaling away with the wind in your hair and a grin plastered to your face.

Young people these days don't often get those experiences because riding a bike is less safe and less available for them. Investing in better bicycle infrastructure helps to bring back this freedom and joy to our community while decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, it's a win for all!
Please take a moment to read some of my students' letters and concerns that they would like to share with you. We thank you for your time and efforts to create a safer and healthier future for Sacramento.

All the best,
Elle

Subject: February 8th Transportation Workshop
Date: Saturday, February 5, 2022 5:17:52 PM
Greetings Councilmember Jennings,
I am writing a comment for the February 8th Transportation Workshop.

Council declared a climate emergency in December 2019. Transportation is the single biggest emitter of greenhouse gas emissions in the area. Reducing vehicle miles traveled must be prioritized. The Mayors’ Climate Commission recommended changing course to a multimodal transportation policy that prioritizes active transportation as the healthiest and most efficient option, public transit and shared mobility for longer trips, and finally zero emission vehicles for trips where transit or active transportation is not an option.

As someone who bike commutes to work, I know what some of the impediments are to active transportation. There are safety concerns, needs to be able to efficiently repair bicycles, a problem with finding safe bike parking that can be used all day. And there is the problem people have in making changes to their commute. An increased focus on telecommuting as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic is an opportunity to improve commuting for people who will be doing it less frequently. We need the City to take action now. Some of the infrastructure needed will require spending funds, but there should be money at the state and federal level to help with that. Pedestrian, bike, and bus infrastructure costs much less than car infrastructure—and our spending should reflect our priorities.

The City needs to commit to a plan to reduce VMT, that includes staff support and project funding.

That said, there are some really low-hanging fruit that would make Sacramento more bike friendly that shouldn’t cost the city more money—and are basically just clean up and training issues:
1.
Don’t sign off on road repair as “complete” when the there is a rough area/transition/transition in the bike lane or roadside where bicyclists ride. These rough areas force riders into traffic and can be barriers when people don’t feel safe riding because of that.

2. When roads are cleaned up after accidents, that clean up should include the areas near the sides of the intersection where bikes pass through. I have popped tires multiple times in accident debris.

Regarding some specifics that have been part of efforts so far:

I see on the map of proposed bike lanes 14th Ave east of Stockton Blvd. I ride that stretch often and what I see is that street parking is needed for residents on the south side of the road, but hardly anyone walks or uses the sidewalk on the north side of the road (on weekday am). My thought would be to eliminate that northern sidewalk and create a bi-directional path (like exists on the parkway) that is protected on the north side of the road. Maybe protected with a shade giving planting, though I am not sure there would be room for all that. Also fix the messed up asphalt in the bike area on 14 th west of Stockton.

Make slow and active street in Land Park permanent and don’t use cones but metal gates to enforce closure of 18
th and 19th Streets. Cars do not need to be able to drive around that part of the park. We do need an area where small ones can practice bike skills, people can roller skate, people can plan on going for these activities and congregate. If this doesn't seem feasible at all times, at least have that closed one day/week.

Continue transit free ride program for students and make sure bus routes are available to all middle and high schools at times that make sense for the students.

Here are some other suggestions:

Consider creating a connected corridor for pedestrians only where outdoor dining currently is on R st, Capitol, 18th Keep outdoor dining, Plant trees.

Covered bike parking would make bicycling more attractive when it is hot or might rain.

Foster a network of bike friendly retail business that have bike parking, rental ebikes and sell tire repair kits throughout city, especially along high traffic corridors. Make a map of these.

Initiate a program to support businesses that want to encourage their employees to ride to work. Give businesses equipment for employee bike parking and/or give them bikes for employees to help employees that can’t afford them, but also to make a bike available to go to lunch or run an errand. As a pilot program, contract with a local mobile bike repair business to service bikes at that business 2x per year, and then the employer can choose to continue this service.

Thanks so much for your consideration,
Rosie Yacoub

“Wherever I go I seem to be surrounded by fairytales. Business leaders, elected officials all across the political spectrum spending their time making up and telling bedtime stories that soothe us, that make us go back to sleep. These are ‘feel-good’ stories about how we are going to fix everything. How wonderful everything is going to be when we have ‘solved’ everything. But the problem we are facing is not that we lack the ability to dream, or to imagine a better world. The problem now is that we need to wake up.” – Greta Thunberg

Subject: Feb 8 2022 - Workshop on Climate and Transportation - in regards to existing bicycles fleet Date: Tuesday, February 8, 2022 10:10:49 AM
Hello
I would like to comment on the upcoming workshop in today's City Council session Can the city use an infrastructure grant to fix existing bicycles (non-ride share) for the low- income/youth population. Also, provide micro grants for reliable bicycle locks.

A lot of people have bicycles available but they are not in a rideable condition.

People without cars might also have a hard time getting their bicycles to the bike shops to get fixed.

These fix-it sessions could be held at City College and all area High school and middle schools as well.

We could also have a spot to fix bikes in a farmers market on Saturday or Sunday.
