Adam,
I reviewed your corrections with the City Attorney and we determined, because after listening to the tape the error was mine and
was essentially a clerical error, that we could change the minutes by lining through and initialing them without taking them back
to Council.
Therefore, I have corrected the original minutes in that format and my staff will rescan them so.the corrected version is on our
website.
Please.leLme know if you have any other questions.
Thanks, much.

Minutes
Adam Fukushima,County Bicycle Coalition,re ed to Item C3. He noted his initial
misunderstanding of the transfer of$26;1 at was proposed previously. He reviewed the
effectiveness of traffic signal i being used by the City of Davis at entrances toIts
ca He expressed..eciatfon ffiafUWTou in Ci a sugge
�( hat California and Foothill may need interconnects more than Broad and Paci ic.
Verbatim
AF, Bicycle Coalition. First of all, I'd like to make an apology. We made a boo boo. In May of
this year,when the item of transferring$26;125 came before you regarding the Bill Rolman
account; we were under the understanding that this was taking money out of bicycle facilities to
go somewhere else in the city. And we didn't know it was for a signal interconnect only. And
we hope that now we can actually get that money to the right place and actually use it for, I think
it's the comer of Broad and Pacific. So I do apologize for that. We misunderstood that issue.
Secondly, rd like to talk about bike signals and just give you a little bit of background about how
it's been used in the state. In Davis,bike signals were used at one particular ... at a critical
entrance to university where they had 14 accidents in two years involving bicycles and bicycles,
bicycles and pedestrians, and bicycles and cars. And when they installed these bike lights at the
signal heads, they only had two reported accidents that weren't actually due to the intersection.
So they ate actually a great way to in crease safety in the areas where there is actually high
bicycle traffic. I actually give a video that I got from the City of Davis that actually shows the
before and after. And I gave it to Dario Senor if you'd like to take a look at it. It's really
interesting to see it. It's really night and day. Before it's absolute chaos,bicycles don't know
where to go,cars don't know what to do with the bicycles going in different directions. Then
afterwards, it's just pure order. I mean the bicycles come, they have their own signals,the cars
are waiting. And then cars have their own signals. They know that there's not going to be
bicycles around and nobody to worry about. And not only have the bicycles and motorists been
happy about it;but it's also been approved by the CHP, the campus police. And on August 17,
AB 56 went through Sacramento and actually passed and now we can actually use bike signals
statewide. So, and, another thing is cost, which we are all interested in. And I went looking
around on my own and found that there is actually a manufacturer that makes bike signal heads.
And it McCain, a traffic company, and I have a quote here I can give you. And they made Davis'
traffic signal head as well as Portland's. So if it does come that we ... these signals,there is
someone who makes them.
And lastly, I'd like to thank the City for its efforts on getting the Tour of California here. I know
tomorrow is the press conference and I know that didn't come by mistake. I know it took a lot of
effort by the Mayor as well as the rest of the Council. I look forward to it coming here, not only
to see a great bike race which is selfish for me,but I think it will help out with our TOT tax as
well as show the City is a great destination for cyclists to come. And not just the pros,but the
families and people who want to just ride their bikes down the Bob Jones trail and stay an extra
day and rent a bike and so forth.
Mayor Romero -Adam you didn't touch on .:: Actually the staff recommendation for this agenda
item is supposed?? to spend something like $25,000 for special bike detections and indicators at
this location. This is the beginning of the Bill Rohnan Boulevard.
John Ewan-If I can just tag on there, I thought it was also very interesting idea of using this at,
California and Foothill as a wayTIC)
dealing with that. Which would be great.

Audrey Hooper- Re: council minutes of Nov 1
From: Audrey Hooper
to: Fukushima, Adam
Subject: Re: council minutes of Nov 1
Thanks for your comments, Adam. Those minutes have been approved by Council and I will need to take them back to have
teem corrected. Since I am out of the office tomorrow, I'd like to take a closer look at your request on Monday and then get
pack to you. I won't forget to do that

Hello Ms. Hooper;
[just happened to be looking at the council minutes for Nov 1st and,I
noticed that the description of my public comment under the consent
agenda (page 2)didn't totally reflect what I said..I don't want to be
nitpick here since you do an excellent job as city clerk and I also
understand how tedious it can be transcribing public comment but.I also
know that the minutes are public record and that's something to take
seriously.
The issue is only with the last sentence: "He suggested that California
and Foothill may need Interconnects more.than Broad and Pacific."If I
remember correctly, I was replying to the mayor's comment that a
bicycle signal head may be useful at the intersection of California and
Foothill. I responded saying that I was in agreement and that
California/Foothill may actually need such a signal more so than the
intersection at Santa Barbara and Upham.This had nothing to do with
the signal interconnect issue at Broad and Pacific. My concern here in
making such a fuss is that nobody gets any false impression that the
Bicycle Coalition is bitter about the.signal interconnect grant monies
being transferred from the Morro Street Bicycle Boulevard to
Broad/Pacific. We understand, as Tim Bochum has explained to me, that
signal interconnect is already completed on the bicycle boulevard and
that the grant monies will be lost if they are not transferred to the
Broad/Pacific project We are.in agreement with this and certainly want
the funds to go where they can best be used to improve safety in our
city.
If I can better clarify this, please let me know.Thanks for your good
work.
