Downtown merchants go unheard on Marsh Street bike lanes BACKGROUND: The B.I.A. is the City Parking District, created by the merchants of S.L.O. to pay for and create parking All merchants in the B.I.A. district must pay business license fees twice! (Once to the city and once to the Business Improvement Association - a city committee) The B.I.A. is the entity that has jurisdiction when it comes to parking in the B.I.A. Parking District The B.I.A. Parking Committee is the portion of the B.I.A. that deals directly with parking. The B.I.A. Parking Committee has never had the issue of the removal of parking on Marsh Street brought before it for its review or approval. The actual number of spaces eliminated was not released by staff until right before this hearing. It is possible that it is illegal for the city to appoint a special interest group and give it the authority to remove parking from the B.I.A. Parking District without going through the B.I.A.! The City Council should reserve its authority over the removal of parking until afteC . the B I•A. has heard the issues, worked with the Bicycle Committee and actually decided its idea of the best options with its parking spaces and bike lanes within its district. As with other agencies and parts of the City, the City Council is the place of appeal. The council should not allow staff to bypass the normal legitimate procedures. A vital step has been skipped because of Special Interest Groups among Staff who have manipulated the situation to their advantage. RECOMMENDATION: Please remove the bike plan from the agenda, or do not approve it in its current form. Re- appoint a new Bike Committee not dominated by staff and not made exclusively of government employees. Have the new committe represent the bike needs of the entire community; businesses, employees, parents and kids, not just Cal Poly students and Government.employees. R.W. Ferris, B.I.A. Parking Committee Co -Chair SUPPORT PACIFIC AND PISMO BOULEVARDS INSTEAD OF MARSH BIKE LANES MANIPULATION AND DECEPTION IN ACTION: Below is the Staff report on Pismo Bike Lanes for tonight's hearing. The bold type is what seemed to actually happen. As a alternative to establishing bike lanes on Marsh Street, the Chamber of Commerce, BIA, and Sierra Club (Alternative Transportation Task Force) requested that the Committee support the concept of establishing Pacific. Street as a "Bicycle Boulevard." The,Staff met with Chamber, BIA and Sierra Club representatives to identify design options for the boulevard. The Staff evaluated ten options and presented this evaluation to the Bicycle Committee (see Exhibit,8). Committee and staff had one meeting with a B.I.A. member on Pacific Street issue. Staff on their own "cooked up" ten bogus options using only the smallest amount of B.I.A. input. The Bicycle Committee and Staff subsequently shot down all options including option #10. The central issue was the removal of parking spaces on Marsh Street needed to establish bicycle lanes and turn pockets at key intersections vs. the feasibility and attractiveness of using Pacific Street as a parallel bicycle route. Option #10, the preferred option of the Chamber of Commerce, BIA and Sierra Club, would cause the loss of about 108 parking spaces on Pacific None of the Pacific Street options, including Option #10, were ever a B.I.A. endorsed idea. It is unlikely the B.I.A. would reocommend an option that would remove 108 spacesl B.I.A. found out "second hand" of the "Staff" plan for Pacific Street There was no time before the Committee hearing to evaluate or correct all the false information. At the public hearing on the various options, the Committee heard near - unanimous opposition to the concept of the bicycle boulevard from residents and businesses along Pacific Street. (Also, refer to petition from Pacific Street property owners included in attached Exhibit 11.) The Committee voted to support the Bicycle Plan's recommendation -- i.e. establish. Class II -A bicycle lanes on both sides of Marsh Street. Objections were based on elimination of parking and restricted access -- PacdgPtsmo combination does not remove any parking or limit access. This public response was manipulated by Staff members to justify their refusal to consider options other than Marsh Street. The Staff concurs .with the Committee's action and does not support the Pacific Street bicycle boulevard concept because: • Marsh Street provides a more direct .and. convenient route into and through. the downtown. This is only true from "Cal Poly (West of Higuera)" point of view - for the rest of San Luis Obispo, ' Pacific and Pismo come before Marsh and Higuera. They are exactly as direct but much nicer, and Pacific and Pismo offer a unique opportunity for SAFE cycling. • Pacific Street is too narrow (34 foot roadway)* to accommodate bike lanes, travel lanes and parking. Not with Pacific AND Pismo[ With traffic one way (same as Marsh Street). One lane for bicycles and one lane for cars, no parking is removed. This would have been more acceptable to all Pacific Street residents and Businesses. • Changes to Pacific Street to.establish a bicycle boulevard would change travel patterns, limit.access, eliminate_,significant amounts of parking, and cause congestion on arterial cross streets. Not true with the Pacific AND Pismo Boulevards. NO parking is removed anywhere, no decrease in access, no significant change in travel patterns and would cause no congestion. • The cost of implementation could be significant since key intersections may need to be signalized. Funds for necessary three signals are well within the funding of the-Bicycle Committee. No impact on financial health of downtown and no DANGEROUS bike lanes on Marsh Street Bike Boulevards are supposed to always be preferrabie to bike lanes in heavy traffic. (F -1 in current bike plan) For additional background on this /well discussed proiect, see Committee minutes attached 4 Exhibit 9. Neither Staff nor Bicycle Committee has seriously evaluated the Pacific and Pismo bike Boulevard concept.. The staff "cooked up' a bunch of Pacific Street proposals, told merchants on Pacific they would lose parking, then In less than two hours of hearings totally discouraged any interest other than Marsh Street. The Bicycle Committee has never appeared to have actually considered- anything other than Marsh Street. PLEASE HELP CREATE SAFE BIKE BOULEVARDS FOR S.L.O. MARSH STREET BICYCLE LANES "MORE" INFORMATION SHEET In an effort to congest traffic and minimize bicycle safety, the city's bicycle committee has presented a very one -sided and misleading information sheet on the Marsh Street bicycle lanes. On August 31, the San Luis Obispo city council will consider adopting this bicycle plan. Please read this fact sheet, and compare it to their information sheet and, if possible, be at the city council meeting to present your views. The installation of bike lanes on Marsh Street would result in the elimination of one of the three lanes of traffic on Marsh Street Turn pocket lanes would have to be added at selected (if not all) intersections. Massive parking removal will be necessary to accommodate these turn lanes. If the recommended turn lane length, as proposed by the Associated Transportation Engineering report, is used, up to 35 parking spaces out of 95 will be eliminated on Marsh Street between Nipomo and Santa Rosa Streets. Provided seperately is information for some of the more commonly asked questions about the Marsh Street bicycle proposal. Attached is a chart showing: 1) The currently proposed turn pocket lengths as listed on the Marsh Street information sheet handout and parking lost 2) The actual likely parking lost 3) The originally proposed turn pocket lengths and parking lost 4) The recommended turn pocket lengths and parking lost You will notice that on some streets there is a considerable difference between the recommended turn pockets and the turn pocket lengths as provided on the information sheet. WHY ARE BIKE LANES BEING PROPOSED FOR BOTH SIDES OF MARSH STREET? Generally, bicycle lanes are installed on arterial streets whenever no acceptable alternate route can be found. It has been shown, beyond a doubt, that high volume commercial district arterial streets are the most dangerous bike lanes possible. Rather than using Marsh Street, there are ample alternate solutions in the works to help bicyclists better share the road. SHOULDN'T BICYCLISTS RIDE ON A STREET WITH LESS TRAFFIC? With quiet streets such as Pacific and Pismo available, it is surprising to see the Bicycle Committee and advocates among the city staff still trying to push through the Marsh Street project. The Sierra Club, the Downtown Business Improvement Association, and the SLO Chamber of Commerce all favor bike lanes on Pacific, or Pacific and Pismo Streets, because it is safer for the bicyclist, allows for a larger and better bike lane, and will allow a smooth traffic flow on Marsh Street. There are no insurmountable major obstacles in using Pacific and Pismo streets. The necessary modifications are affordable and there are no negative circulation impacts for using the Pacific -Pismo Street bike lane proposal. The Pacific-Pismo tandem proposal would result in absolutely no parking spaces being lost Both streets would still have full traffic flow in a one -way direction. The cost of changing the stop signs and adding signals is within the budget of the bicycle committee's funds. Bicycles, like motorists, will always want the most convenient route to their destinations. The Marsh Street proposal is being touted by the bicycle committee as the best, because it is the easiest and most convenient for the bicycle riders. Although bicycle riders constitute a minority of the users of Marsh Street, the bicycle committee feels that the convenience factor for these bicyclists outweigh the safety for the bicyclists and the needs of the community as a whole. WHAT WILL THESE BIKE LANES COST? It is impossible for the bicycle committe to compute the overall cost for the changeover on Marsh Street. The bicycle committee and staff have taken no effort to look into the economic impact of bike lanes on Marsh St. The planning staff feels that higher congestion on Marsh and Higuera Streets will discourage vehicle use and therefore encourage alternate transportation. The effect on patrons using Marsh Street is considered unimportant. HOW MANY PARKING SPACES WILL BE LOST? The bicycle committee states that only 17 spaces would be removed in the entire B.I.A. district. These numbers are distorted in order to make the passage of the Marsh Street bike lanes easier. Accurate figures, that take into account loading zones and realistic turn pocket lengths are much more difficult to figure than the bicycle committe would like to have you believe. In fact, Terry Sanville, a city staff member proposing Marsh Street bike lanes, has said that "if the currently proposed turn pockets do not work, then we will take all the parking spaces needed to make them work." In counting the parking meters and using data from the SLO City staff, 35 out of 95 spaces on Marsh St.reet between Nipomo and Santa Rosa Streets will likely be lost. HOW WILL THE REDUCTION OF LANES AFFECT TRAFFIC FLOW? On Marsh Street, eliminating only 17 parking spaces, traffic would not flow. The information sheet cites ar+ independent traffic engineering report, done by Associated Transportation Engineers. To compute this report, the city provided A.T.E. with turn pocket lengths and traffic flow statistics. A.T.E.'s recommendation is for turn pocket lengths two to three times longer than the bicycle committee is currently proposing. Traffic flow and existing lane geometrics were either understated or incorrectly conveyed to A.T.E. WHO CAN I CONTACT TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THIS PROPOSAL? You may contact Craig Anderson or Terry Sanville at the Planning Department at San Luis Obispo City Hall. Both of these gentlemen will give you their current views for Marsh Street. If you wish to find out the B.I.A. views contact the B.I.A. at our office. WHAT CAN I DO? Show up at San Luis Obispo City /County Library, Community Room, at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday August 31 and talk to your friends and neighbors. Help San Luis Obispo take a step forward rather than a leap back. "1 1 1 A FEW BIKE PLAN OBJECTIONS! The idea should be to make bicycling more attractive, not motoring less attractive. A reduction in motoring use should be through education not manipulation. This plan fails to correctly identify and deal with need for cross town bicycle lanes (High School "and Johnson area to and from the Laguna Area) It's seems the bicycle needs of Cal Poly are the primary focus, rather than the city as a whole. The bike committee did not consider aquedatey the needs of a parent living on the non -poly side of Higuera with kids enrolled In the High School or Middle School? The bike plan doesn't acoomodate anyone riding bikes from the Johnson side of town to movies in Madonna, or to the highschool and back from Laguna Area. A.T.E. ENGINEERING REPORT ON MARSH STREET DOES NOT SHOW MARSH WILL WORK WITH TWO LANES! Staff chooses to use median traffic (Wed) rather than peak traffic (Thursday or ATE reports on traffic flow to show Marsh Street can lose one lane and still not t conges) for Staff failed to explain that the A.T.E. report ASSUMES the proposed turnpocket lanes are always long enough to hold any and all cars waiting to make a tum (that-is two traffic lanes and two infinitely long turn lanes are better than three traffic lanes) Staff is using this A.T.E. report as proof Marsh Street traffic flow will not be hurt by bike lanes. For more details on problems with A.T.E. report ask engineering,public works or B.I. BIA Parking Committee dated 8/25/93. A for copy of a letter from Staff did not use sufficiently conservative traffic data to allow a reasonable margin of error. Staff chooses not to factor into the data given to A.T.E. for their traffic report; the impact of PEAK LOADS (special events), the new DOWNTOWN CENTER opening, (with a sb( screen theater, Saturday matinees all day). future use in five or ten years (using planned city growth) or even use "figures that would allow a margin of error. All data and geometry was slanted to help obtain results to support staff concepts Bike Committee and Staff failed to submit bike lane removal to the BIA for parking removal consent. Staff chose to bypass the BIA by using its influence to skip the BIA. SCOPE AND POWER OF BICYCLE COMMITTEE WARRANTS A MORE BALANCED & INDEPENDENT CITIZENS COMMITTEE. Throughout the hearing process the Bicycle Committee and Staff has functioned more as a propaganda machine than an information gathering and evaluating body. The Bicycle committee failed to consider necessary public input. For a committee to asses public input it must consider many different ideas and needs before arriving at its recommendations and reaching its conclusions. The Bicycle Committee is legendary for not paying attention to ideas that do not agree with its predisposed philisophical positions. Current committee members did not find out of the committee via the inconspicious public posting but by knowing the "right" people. Bicycle Committee consists of ONLY Government and Ex- Public Sector employees. In essence the members of this Bicycle Committee were selected on the basis of "correct" opinions on alternate transportation, r.e. bikes, cars and the ecology. Not on the basis representing ALL the bicycling transportation needs and opinions of the community. Members were not selected by a truly open process whereby diverse opinions would ensure a.more fair and reasonable outcome. STAFF REFUSED TO CONSIDER PISMO OR PISMO/PACIFIC BIKE BOULEVARDS Instead staff created a bogus Pacific Street proposal that eliminated 108 spaces. Staff just before the hearing indirectly notified affected businesses on Pacific saying that their bogus plan #10 was a BIA /Chamber approved plan. BIA had not even seen it! Staff and Bike Committee then shot down its own "bogus plan" #10 using the reaction generated by its stories of 108 lost spaces, bulb -outs and traffic interruption on Pacific Street. This maneuver is NOT what happens when something is actually considered. SPECIAL PERKS FOR STAFF BICYCLING ADVOCATES Agenda item B -7 authorizes bicycle advocates on city staff to engage in competition with other cities to be a top ten cycling city. Competition for this award may easily be contrary to the interests of the general population and tcwn on the whole. City Staff Bicycle Advocates are using San Luis Obispo as their toy by seeking official authorization to compete in a bicycle magazine "coolness" contest with taxpayer's money. They are also seeking to authorize freebee field trips to investigate other successful bike plans in the towns on the taxpayer's time and at the taxpayer's expense! MORE REGULATIONS AND BURDENS This plan imposes a whole new layer of regulations and costs for any new business that would consider S.L.O. and who could provide a significant number of decent jobs in S.L.O. The current bicycle plan mandates changes in both substance and especially additude to all sections of the general plan and all plans in all other areas of local Government regarding zoning issues, right -of -way and other regulations that might affect bike use and alterante transportation. Lots of special items are tossed in; showers for bike riders (even if none work for you), bike lockers (even though the ones in the parking garage are not fully used) and morel The secret politics within this document do far move than just promote bicycle use and alternative transportation. This document was designed as another anti-growth tool for the planning department to use to keep S.L.O. the way it never was. RECCOMENDATIONS: PLEASE, reject THIS bike plan and appoint a new bicycle task force. Direct the NEW committee to actually work with the BIA, Chamber of Commerce and local entites, to develop a LESS INVASIVE and MORE COMPLETE bicycle transportation plan. A bike plan to promote and increase bike use not a bike plan designed to limit and restrict not only autmotive use but further discourage any new jobs or development within our community. Q0,- ro�r.ot1892 6 September, 1993 SIERRA CLUB .w SANTA LUCIA CHAPTER San Luis Obispo City Council 990 Palm Street San Luis Obispo., Ca. 93403 -8100 Dear Councilmember, The Alternative Transportation Task Force (ATTF) is writing to you to clarify our position on Marsh Street bicycle lanes. At the Council meeting on August 31st, Richard Ferris, who claims to be the BIA Parking Committee Co- Chair, handed out literature and made statements as a BIA representative that were derogatory of staff and the Bicycle Committee. Much of the information in the pamphlet he handed out is untrue. The ATTF formed a coalition with the Chamber of Commerce and the BIA in the hope of bettering our relationship with the business community and involving them in bicycle planning in San Luis Obispo. Our agreement was that we would jointly ask for a delay in implementation of the Marsh Street Plan to give the coalition time to come up with a plan for Pacific Street that would be acceptable to all parties (City Staff and the Bicycle Committee included). The statements made by the BIA on August 31st in no way reflect the position of the ATTF or of the coalition. We are embarassed by the BIA's bashing of staff and the Bicycle Committee, and by the BIA's apparent inability to control the "loose cannons" in their organization. The position of the ATTF is as follows: 1. The ATTF thinks the plan for bike lanes on Marsh Street is an excellent one 2. Staff and the Bicycle Committee are to be commended for a job well done. ... To explore. eniov. and protect the notion's scenic resource's .. . 9 (2) 3. The ATTF is asking you to. approve the bike lanes on Marsh Street. 4. The ATTF, as a member of the coalition, is asking for a delay in the implementation of the Marsh Street Plan, for up to one year, while the coalition, working with Staff and the Bicycle Committee, tries to come up with a plan for Pacific Street. Pre - approval of the Marsh Street Plan is necessary to keep everyone's "feet to the fire" and working in good faith on a plan for Pacific. We hope that on September 14th, you will approve the Marsh Street bicycle lanes and delay implementation long enough for the coalition to work together on a plan for Pacific Street. Sincerely, Pat Veesart Sierra Club Alternative Transportation Task Force 1570 Hansen Lane San Luis Obispo, Ca. 93401 cc: BI Chamber of Commerce
