From: Allan Cooper, Chair Save Our Downtown
Subject: Draft Circulation Element
Save Our Downtown and I have reviewed this draft document and heartily support its
endorsement of a Downtown Pedestrian Plan (DPP). As an aside, we will be following with
great interest how the proposed DPP Citizens Advisory Task Force will be constituted and its
timeline for task completion. We have a few concerns which we have addressed below:
Modify Figure 3: "Neighborhood Traffic Management Areas"
to include an additional area from Nipomo to Pepper and from Pacific to Highway 101. The
Downtown Core Neighborhood, the Mission Orchard Neighborhood and the Mill Street
Neighborhood are all in need of traffic management plans.
4.0.8 Bicycle Transportation Coordinator
The City shall support the allocation of staff and resources to coordinate and implement the
bicycle transportation plan policies and programs and shall continue to rely upon the Bicycle
Advisory Committee to provide additional guidance in this area
5.1.2 Sidewalk Pedestrian Network
For areas outside of the Downtown, the City will pursue shall implement its program for the
installation of sidewalks to complete a continuous and connected pedestrian network throughout
the community.
V., 171
5.1.21 City shall support the allocation of staff and resources to coordinate and implement
the downtown and Citywide pedestrian plan policies and programs and shall rely upon a
newly formed Pedestrian Advisory Committee to provide additional guidance in this area.
13.1.4 Public Parking Structures
The City shall only approve construction of additional public parking structures after
considering the findings and results of a parking supply and demand study. The location of
future public parking structures shall not be confined solely to those sites which are publicly -
owned but shall be based on optimal access to the greatest number of users.
Thank you for your due diligence and please contact us should have any additional questions
regarding this matter.
