• agenda-report Request of Councilmembers Zwick, Torosis, and de la Torre that the Council direct the City Manager to ensure that staff engage in meaningful consultation with persons authorized to vend pursuant to SMMC sections 6.36.030(f) and (g) regarding implementation of and proposed changes to sidewalk vending policies in the City. Specifically, staff are to arrange for such consultation in a culturally competent and linguistically appropriate manner to achieve meaningful engagement and input when substantive changes to vending policies are being considered that address time, place, and manner regulations or alterations to permitting or enforcement policies and practices. Such consultation should include, but not be limited to, in-person meetings, notices and solicitation of feedback via e-mail and/or mail, and production of outreach materials to be distributed by staff in the field. This consultation should include advance written notice to all permitted vendors with at least a 20-day period of public comment following the solicitation of vendor input prior to making substantive changes to Sidewalk Vending Administrative Regulations or placing proposed changes on the Council agenda. Staff shall ensure that engagement is conducted in English and Spanish through bilingual written materials and presence of a Spanish language interpreter at vendor engagement meetings and Council meetings when vending policies are being considered. City staff is further directed to engage in ongoing dialogue with its permitted sidewalk vending community regarding several items of importance—including vending cart compliance, enforcement practices, enhanced signage, expanded opportunities and zones for permissible vending, and methods of allocating designated spaces to vend—to ensure a thriving and inclusive Santa Monica for all.

• agenda-report Statistics demonstrate that automobiles are the leading cause of death for children aged 5-14 in LA County and Santa Monica has adopted a Vision Zero plan to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries, while increasing safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all. To this end, the following is a request of Councilmembers Zwick and Torosis that the City Council direct the City Manager to report back in 60 days on the cost and timeline for the implementation of a pilot program augmenting the city's Vision Zero plan with safety-enhancing signal improvements at select intersections, including: 1. Banning Right on Red at all “scramble” intersections in DTSM, and other select intersections where data indicates it would improve safety. 2. Reprogramming traffic signals to operate on "pedestrian recall" and utilize a Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) at 10 priority intersections as determined by data from Santa Monica’s high-injury network, as well as data on frequency of pedestrian use.
