Name not shown inside Neighborhood 1 (registered) December 20, 2017, 8:07 PM The idea is to promote increased bicycling transportation. That means reaching people who currently don't feel comfortable riding on narrow city streets with no bike lanes. Statistics show that this group is most comfortable with off-street paths, Bicycle Blvds that dramatically reduce traffic volume and speed (like parts of Morro), and protected bike lanes. There is no place to put on off-street path and Council has ruled out a BB that drastically reduces volume and speed, therefore the only alternative left is a protected bike lane. The Lincoln St. alternative does little to change existing conditions and is therefore already available for use. People who are comfortable with that are already using it. Therefore, that options does zero to attract and increase bicycling for transportation. It is also a solution that is just kicking the can down the road. As SLO City and County population rises, there will be more cars driving and parking on all city streets. It will be harder to reduce parking when demand is higher. An option for the "Preferred Alternative" that I feel could be explored further is to reduce the use of Chorro by two blocks and use Almond instead. This is the section between Mission and Center. Almond has low enough traffic speed and volume to be a real Bike Blvd. without taking out parking. I expect some intersection design for the Mission/Almond and Center/Almond would be required. The big benefit is to eliminate the need to reduce parking on Chorro for this section. Myron Amerine inside Neighborhood 6 (registered) December 20, 2017, 9:45 PM I support complete streets and safe routes to schools AND safe cycling roads throughout the city.

Bike commuters have sacrificed their safety, comfort, and speed of a vehicle in an effort to reduce pollution and congestion. Lets attract more more children, parents, families, and students to get on a bike, in turn helping reduce congestion and pollution. The only way to do this is by making a change and a sacrifice. Its one thing to say the words, its another to actually do something about it. Name not shown inside Neighborhood 4 (registered) December 21, 2017, 7:28 AM Charro is the most direct route. Most cyclists will choose this route regardless of Lincoln St route, so that should be where the bike lane is located. Steve Hicks inside Neighborhood 1 (registered) December 21, 2017, 8:34 AM We need to try the protected bike lane approach. As a bicycle rider of Chorro and Broad St. since 1978 I hope the city council will try this out to protect the bicycle riders in our community and make it safer for other to try. Not to mention the families and kids I see riding their bikes to school. John Clements inside Neighborhood 1 (registered) December 21, 2017, 9:35 AM I want to thank the city's transportation planning staff for their hard work in preparing a sequence of alternatives, and in performing careful analysis of traffic and parking impacts. Also, I recognize that the plan that I'm supporting (Preferred Alternative) involves a sacrifice on the part of homeowners living along the proposed bicycle route; I don't live along the proposed bicycle route, so I understand that I'm asking others to pay part of the cost of this improvement. However, I think that these homeowners are also overlooking a substantial *benefit*; I think that the resulting streets will be, to put it simply, a nicer place to live. I think that these streets will be blessed with slower-moving traffic, more pedestrian and cycling traffic, and more of the "SLO life." So, this is a request: can you look down the (figurative) road, a bit, and imagine a positive outcome for this plan? I *definitely* can, and I think it doesn't take too much imagination for the residents of this street to do the same. Please support the the Preferred Alternative!

Protected bike lanes will increase safety for riders, especially as too many motorists are on their phones. Communities that have developed strong bicyclist- and pedestrian-oriented infrastructures succeeded by making profound changes, not minimal compromises. SLO should make a move in a similar direction. Pete Schwartz inside Neighborhood 7 (registered) December 21, 2017, 10:01 AM I understand that there is opposition. People resist change. When I was a kid, people smoked cigarettes next to me on air planes... Smokers didn't like the new rules, yet there are few that look back today thinking that these rules were a bad idea. I think that most Chorro residents will ultimately agree that these changes improve their community. I'm Pete Schwartz, 1441 Iris St. Paul Marchbanks outside Neighborhoods (registered) December 21, 2017, 10:12 AM Our one-car family regularly bikes along Chorro from Highland down to Marsh, and would benefit significantly from protected bike lanes. Recent in-town biking accidents resulting in severe injury should be reason enough for us to do everything we can to make biking safe for our residents, and such protected lanes would most definitely encourage others to choose the healthier transportation option for themselves. Name not available (unclaimed) December 21, 2017, 10:30 AM Bicyclists won't use the alternative path as it goes out of the way (not as direct of a path). Name not shown inside Neighborhood 1 (registered) December 21, 2017, 10:30 AM While I understand not wanting to lose on-street parking, we should be encouraging the kind of commuting that we want to see more of in our city.

Name not available (unclaimed) December 21, 2017, 10:58 AM I am excited for this development and I think it will make the city much more accessible to the marginal bike rider.

I would like to see the Preferred Alternative implemented to get real-life feedback and data on the impacts to the affected local residents and to the community as a whole. If we do not do this somewhere in town and observe what actually happens, and only rely upon resident's opinions, fears, beliefs and perceived needs, then we will never know if the protected bike lane approach is viable for this community at this time.

Brett Block inside Neighborhood 1 (registered) December 21, 2017, 11:08 AM My wife and I reside on Murray Ave and are infrequent cyclists, preferring to walk when we can largely out of safety concerns. I see the preferred alternative as a very unique way to resolve some of the existing conflicts between auto users and cyclists in the neighborhood while increasing the overall wellbeing of this side of town, and SLO as a whole. I would take a great deal of pride in walking outside my door to see a city committed to more sensible and forward-thinking forms of transportation, and I believe this plan will get me out on my bike more, and in my car less. We are expecting our first daughter in February, and as it stands I am fearful of the car presence in our neighborhood and the reckless abandon of drivers flying through these small streets of ours. We as a neighborhood and as a city need to make an emphatic statement about what invigorates and sustains communities, and it ain't cars! I also want to add that I don't believe the behaviors of Poly students are being properly accounted for in many of my neighbors' calculus for this project. This could be an important connector encouraging students to further integrate into the downtown community and our local businesses, rather than the Domino's, Chick-Fil-A's and other corporate offerings on and surrounding the campus, and it could ameliorate parking concerns and the need for multi-story garages downtown. Folks, we should care less for the convenience of where we park our cars, and more for the future we want to create.

David Abrecht outside Neighborhoods (registered) December 21, 2017, 2:09 PM The Mayor and the City Council have set lofty goals to increase alternative forms of transportation, reduce green house gases and make the community healthier. They cannot get there by "settling" for an option (Lincoln Street) that does not really promote the use of bicycles for transportation. I believe the City can work with residents to minimize the impact of lost parking by creating a Parking District and more closely monitoring parking by persons who do not actually reside in the area.

I'm sure my face was equally twisted from the fright of near-collisions with distracted or rushing drivers. San Luis Obispo claims to be "bike friendly" and yet there are so few examples that this is true. This city could be one of the best in the country given the climate and the typical citizen (e.g. educated, healthy, socially conscious, climate aware, etc.). The City Council MUST take a field trip to Davis California where my wife and I attended graduate school. Davis is the model system for "bike friendly". San Luis Obispo could be there!

It therefore makes sense to make it safer with bicycle lanes. The sharp, narrow turn at the south end of the east side of Lincoln is terribly dangerous. It would be a mistake to encourage more traffic of any kind on Lincoln because of that turn. In fact, for safety reasons, there should be no parking in particular on the north east section of that turn on LIncoln, perhaps from Chorro to several houses beyond the turn.

Name not shown inside Neighborhood 1 (registered) December 21, 2017, 5:01 PM Given the choice, I agree that the preferred alternative makes more sense. I have biked from Foothill to downtown for more than two decades. The preferred alternative could reduce car speeds, which I like. The Lincoln detour doesn't appeal to me. However, looking at city wide priorities, I think it more important to spend the funds to connect California Ave South of Foothill downtown via a flat and separate bike path. This means extending the existing path next to the train tracks across 101 in order to avoid the hill past the CHP facility. Yes, it costs more than the hilly alternative, but it would have greater positive impacts on ridership and safety.

Having bicycled in the Netherlands, it's clear that a single 2-directional bike lane is a very efficient use of space; allowing separation from traffic as much as possible is critical for comfort and safety of bicyclists. For those who live in the neighborhood, please appreciate that your location is ideal - between downtown and Poly. I recall people who bought a house near a hospital with trauma center in a city, then complained about the helicopters flying in. Sorry, please be more community-minded and accept the fact that there are compromises. Over time, I believe living on the bike route would be a plus - You have easy, safe biking to prime destinations. We are planning for the future of this great town and the planet. Let's make biking more and more possible as time goes on. Name not shown inside Neighborhood 8 (registered) December 21, 2017, 10:46 PM I prefer the Preferred Alternative for a number of reasons, including the effect it would have on creating a stronger community as it slows traffic and influences more connections between people. I've seen this in neighborhoods that have a stronger emphasis on cyclists, skateboarders, strollers, pedestrians over people driving cars. The people driving cars become used to the slower pace and greater respect for the other ways of traveling. The priority moves from the car to the person. In neighborhoods with this emphasis you'll find things like: houses with seating in the front where interaction with neighbors and passers by occur, which leads to a greater use of front yards, more book boxes, people coming to know each other. etc. so it's not just for those who use the bike lanes, it's for the city as a whole, as the connections spreads. the neighborhoods value increases alongside the community interaction.

Even Michigan, one of the most car centric places on earth, has cross state bike paths now! Good ones, unexpected and I appreciated them. These paths provided safe ways thru traffic areas, and many were similar to this project. The increase in safety, and the wide variety of riders were apparent. The primary path routing for Broad St should receive good usage as many ride that way already, even though it's narrow and a little bit scary.

If this route is selected it will be rarely used. Bike routes should be the shortest route with the least hills and stop signs. The preferred alternative is more direct and will actually be of use to bikers, though I am concerned about having to cross the street at intersections to access the protected bike lane on Chorro going north. Best situation would be a protected bike lane in each direction on Chorro, or just have it only on Broad all the way to Lincoln.

I support the "preferred alternative." The pros far outweigh the cons. The loss of on-street parking and reduced driving lanes are part of the price we have to pay to have a safe bicycling efficient city. Making bicycling safer and more convenient are also critical to have a safe biking efficient city - and to get people out of their cars. Making it safer and more convenient to bike could reduce traffic, improve health, and reduce greenhouse gasses as well. The "preferred alternative" route makes more sense in terms of being more direct. Homeowners do not own the street right of way or the on-street parking in front of their home. The city and we citizens get to decide what happens to the public right of way. Please implement the "preferred alternative". Name not available (unclaimed) December 22, 2017, 12:00 PM The Preferred alternative (protected bike lanes) is the safer option of the two.

Michael Cross outside Neighborhoods (registered) December 22, 2017, 4:18 PM In my experience sharrows are a poor attempt at a solution: many car drivers do not respect them and few cyclists actually follow the guides, instead riding dangerously close to parked cars. I do not think that sharrows improve safety. As a cyclist who rides the downtown-Foothill route quite frequently, I would certainly not follow a circuitous detour as envisioned for the Lincoln Street Alternative simply to find a street with sharrows. Instead I would continue to cycle down Broad Street, riding in the lane to keep an appropriate distance from any parked cars.The Lincoln Street Alternative would not solve any of the current problems.

Responses sorted chronologically As of January 17, 2018, 8:54 AM http://www.peakdemocracy.com/5787 Page 40 of 47 We need this bike lane!!! There is currently no safe route to commute between downtown and CalPoly. With increasing enrollment at CalPoly, the restriction of vehicles from on-campus housing, and an ever-growing emphasis on increased biking opportunities from staff as well as students, this needs to happen to provide a safe transportation route to link these two areas. There are a large number of people in my office who commute by bike to work on the campus. I believe one of the city staff had said that residents cannot demand to park their private cars on public city streets. The residents should have no say in the loss of parking spaces, that area belongs to the public, and there can be no greater public good. I lived in Boulder in the mid-1980s (way back then!) and they had a dedicated bikeway that linked residential areas to downtown. It had its own underpasses and intersections to serve biking as a primary mode of transportation in the city. It was used by everyone for commuting and recreation, and it served such an immensely useful purpose. Because it was so cool and fun, it got people out of their cars and turned to bikes as transportation. If there was a safe bicycle linkage between the Foothill area and downtown, more people would ride bikes. Additionally, more people would use the bus system and take their bikes on the bus like I did today because it would be a viable source of transportation. In addition to bicycles, electric bikes and skateboards are becoming more common in this area, and would accomodate a wider range of people. These uses would also benefit from this bikeway. The Lincoln route is too indirect and people would not use it. This is a funky old neighborhood with many cross streets, vision of bikers is obstructed by parked cars, and vehicles coming out of driveways cannot see bike traffic. A dedicated bikeway is needed for safety. If people felt safer, and the bikeway was functional, they would ride bikes more often. This would lessen traffic congestion, infrastructure repair costs, greenhouse gas emissions, and obesity.

For the raised intersection at Broad and Murray(D), there should be a pedestrian crosswalk. Because Murray has the sidewalk in the middle of the street, people cross Broad at the middle of Murray. Also not included in this proposal is the intersection at Broad, Meinecke/ Ramona. This intersection currently is dangerous for pedestrians and encourages cars to use as a short cut from Broad to Chorro. At a neighborhood meeting, we discussed plans to re shape that intersection with additional pedestrian refuge islands. This is an important part of the bike and pedestrian pathway.

Passive solutions (physical barriers and separation) work better than active solutions (speed limit reduction, signage, police enforcement) as they do not require human adherance. This will encourage safer and increased use by all three types of travel. The Lincoln St alternative is a neat idea but seems to be a half measure that will not be utilized as often. I have never taken Lincoln St as an alternative route on bike or car when commuting between the Foothill and downtown. I believe that the greatest value to any upgrades would be in improving the direct route to provide safer and more efficient traffic (reduced stress in passing or travelling along side each other). I see this upgrade as an improvement to the community and make it an even more desirable area to live in. I am a resident of the Anholm district and understand the reduced parking will be annoying, but we will acclimate as we always do. It is understandable to be stressed out about parking impacts, but this should not be a reason to avoid improving our community and its connection to other sections of town.

Although for the past 11 years we sometimes ride our bikes as a family to the downtown area, we are hesitant to do so, especially in recent years, due to the lack of a safe, protected bicycle lane. In recent years, the traffic on these streets has increased, as has the number of reckless and distracted drivers. Distracted driving and associate traffic injuries and fatalities is an increasing and documented problem in our country. If there were protected bike lines, we would make substantially more trips downtown via bicycle. Promoting bicycling with safe, protected bicycle lanes addresses many problems in our local community and the world: climate change, traffic congestion, downtown parking infrastructure, and the ever-increasing obesity epidemic.

Although this is likely true, the real problem here is that human beings, whether they are automobile drives or bicyclists, do a poor job of obeying traffic laws. For every bicyclist in SLO that regularly does not obey traffic laws, there are probably 10 to 100 automobile drivers who drive over posted speed limits, do not come to a complete stop at a stop sign, run red lights, and/or check their cell phones while driving. In order to improve safety, the correct solution is to increase fines for, and better enforce, traffic infractions while improving education.

Name not shown inside Neighborhood 1 (registered) December 21, 2017, 5:56 AM Broad Street is already extremely tight and saturated with cars from homes that were built in an era with single car garages. Almost every lot on Broad between Mission and Murray has been split with 2-3 homes buried behind each street frontage. I’m all for bicycle traffic (which is minimal at present from my observation having lived there for five years). To eliminate an entire block of parking in a high density residential area would be a poor choice. Name not shown inside Neighborhood 1 (registered) December 21, 2017, 6:13 AM Difficult problem but we must do our best to adapt. We wish we could provide safe bicycle routes without unreasonably interfering with residents. Name not shown outside Neighborhoods (registered) December 21, 2017, 7:36 AM The loss of parking will create hardship for residents and guests of neighborhood. This will especially impact elderly and those with mobility issues. Name not shown inside Neighborhood 1 (registered) December 21, 2017, 8:41 AM While more dedicated bike lanes are ideal, the neighborhood identified already has a parking problem. Removing that number of parking spaces makes the situation untenable for residents. If residents are forced into a situation that stresses parking and causes resentment toward bikers, that won’t work for anyone. Name not shown inside Neighborhood 1 (registered) December 21, 2017, 9:08 AM Not discussed at the public meeting was the difficulty of true cyclists sharing a bike path with slow riders. The Bob Jones path is a good example of mixed use being dangerous. Children ride erratically and slowly. They often pay no attention to other riders. The worst accident of my cycling life was caused by a child who steered into the side of my bike and caused me to go over the handlebars. The children and other cyclists would be safer on Lincoln Street than on a narrow path on Broad or Chorro. You must expect that adult cyclists--as opposed to casual bike riders--will be on the streets as they are now. I have ridden this corridor for several years now, and it works well. All motorists have been thoughtful and careful. They accept slowing for cyclists and cyclists help calm traffic. I would much prefer to see money spent on safety for cyclists: education (stop at stop signs, signal), helmets, pavement smoothing and regular sweeping. This bike path will give children a safer way to cycle to school, but I have sincere doubts that it will meet other needs.

However I believe it will be like the Morro bike path and not used. I live on the Morro path and I see most bicycles using Osos instead of Morro. Can the city put up signage directing the bicycles to use the paths. I believe someone from the bicycle community commented that Lincoln St. may not be used because people prefer the straight route on Chorro just like you see on Morro and Osos. Name not shown inside Neighborhood 7 (registered) December 21, 2017, 9:59 AM Due to State Mandated acceptance of Accessory Dwelling Units - without regard to providing on site parking - we need to minimize the loss of parking in residential districts. Making bicycling safer needs to be accomplished with traffic calming strategies. Traffic calming will have the added benefit of making the neighborhood safer and friendlier for pedestrians and residents. Name not available (unclaimed) December 21, 2017, 10:14 AM This is a complete waste of taxpayer dollars.

The Lincoln St. alternative provides them reasonable accommodation while fulfilling the purpose of providing a safe bike route. Removing on street parking is not necessary. Kathy Smith inside Neighborhood 9 (registered) December 21, 2017, 10:43 AM As I former Council Member, I remember well the "traffic calming" proposed and implemented on Chorro Street that caused a major community upheaval and actually was then revamped . . . costing mucho dollars and disruption among residents. The Lincoln Street solution illustrates a concern for all elements of our city.

Responses sorted chronologically As of January 17, 2018, 8:54 AM http://www.peakdemocracy.com/5787 Page 16 of 26 December 21, 2017, 10:54 AM I live on Murray Avenue (homeowner), and I regularly commute by bicycle. I ride my kids to Pacheco every day. The most exciting part of the plan for me is the pass through at LDS and the Foothill crossing at FerriniI. I am supporting the Lincoln alternative because it is already my default route when I bike to and from downtown. There are no stop signs along Lincoln, and the street is wide and quiet--rather perfect for bicycling--and the path we naturally already take as seasoned commuters. Name not shown inside Neighborhood 12 (registered) December 21, 2017, 11:01 AM Parking is a huge issue for SLO. The Lincoln Street Alternative has minimal Parking Loss. Convenient parking for the elderly of our town is a MUST. Walking an additional one to two blocks for some of our elderly as noted in the Broad Street plan is not always physically possible. So please, respectfully, go with the Lincoln Street Alternative. Name not available (unclaimed) December 21, 2017, 11:02 AM I often ride my bicycle throughout San Luis Obispo and I am very opposed to the protected bike lane alternative. To be honest, San Luis is the most bike friendly city that I have ever cycled through in the current configuration, I always feel safe riding in our city. If the City Council feels compelled to do something, then the least invasive alternative on Lincoln street is by far the best solution for our community. Placing too much burden on motorists will, in my opinion, create unnecessary hostility towards cyclists, and in so doing, create an unsafe environment. Name not shown inside Neighborhood 7 (registered) December 21, 2017, 11:07 AM Bicyclists in the city have done just fine on major thoroughfares such as Johnson, with only the painted green and often 8 foot wide lanes in some places. There is no reason to destroy a neighborhood to serve the few residents that want the bike lanes to become bike streets. We are NOT Europe where every street has been naturally and appropriately accommodating bicycles almost exclusively for decades. Bicycles are NOT expected in our long established neighborhood areas. Most states and cities have been built for autos since the beginning of car travel. One cannot just simply wave a magic wand and expect that a conversion to all bicycles would work here. All visitors in addition to current residents, many of whom also ride bicycles, do not and would not expect to be limited in the use of their autos. . The worst thing the City would do by converting these roadways to bicycle exclusive is to cut off the lifelines of fire and health (ambulance) because they would not be allowed to park in front of a residence to service existing houses. Not to mention friends and second autos belonging to the owners of the houses on these streets. This is an extremely poorly thought out proposition to rid certain streets of on-street parking, when they have been in that state for decades. It is also unfair to homeowners who have lived there for decades. Also, there should be no comments that are from nonresidents accepted on this topic. It is not their purview to decide for our city whose neighborhood is destroyed.

Name not shown inside Neighborhood 1 (registered) December 21, 2017, 11:21 AM Least impact on neighborhood while allowing increased safe access for new and existing bikers. Name not available (unclaimed) December 21, 2017, 11:26 AM I believe the option with the least amount of parking impact should be selected. With more Poly students parking on the streets due to campus restrictions on incoming freshman we are experiencing more parking impacts in our neighborhoods. Please note that I am not advocating for additional parking districts - this is not a good solution in my opinion. Name not available (unclaimed) December 21, 2017, 11:37 AM To take away more parking in the city is not a good idea. I do not think the bicycle traffic is sufficient to warrant closing traffic lanes on Chorro and/or Broad. What I have observed is the problem with the bicycles is that they do to obey the traffic signs anyway. Nice, safe, side streets should fit their needs just fine.

Kate Murray inside Neighborhood 1 (registered) December 21, 2017, 3:15 PM I am concerned about several things with the Chorro option: 1. the disruption to the entire neighborhood, especially those on Chorro, when the parking spots are removed from one side of the street; 2. the danger to cyclists, especially the inexperienced cyclists they wish to attract, with Chorro Street residents trying to get in and out of their driveways. Also the liability to the residents, who will all wish to avoid such accidents. 3. The added pedestrian traffic of residents and visitors who will have to park on the opposite side of Chorro from the bike lane and cross on foot, across the bike lane, to access homes on that side of Chorro. 4. the disruption to elderly and handicapped people who live on that side of Chorro. 5. The difficulty (or impossibility) of access to those Chorro Street residences by landscape workers, construction and repair, UPS, etc. ... I fear all these factors will make the proposed Chorro Street protected bike lane a less safe option for bicyclists than it is now. I think the plan to detour the bike boulevard onto Lincoln makes sense because it avoids all the above problems. No parking spots are proposed for removal; the bike lane would consist of route markers on the pavement and street signage with traffic calming (i.e., speed bumps?). Lincoln is a relatively quiet street, and an attractive, tree-lined one as well. I cannot see any downside to this option. It shouldn't inconvenience any residents, including those who live on Lincoln Street. The objection to the Lincoln Street option is that it is longer by 45 seconds to 1-1/2 minutes. ... So what? ... But is it? There are no stop signs on Lincoln, whereas there are 2 on Chorro, which slow cyclists anyway (or should). Experienced cyclists can and will continue to use whichever routes they please. But the plan is to attract inexperienced cyclists and families with children who presently don't ride from Foothill to downtown (or reverse) because of safety concerns. Those cyclists who are concerned less about safety and more about the shortest distance between two points will choose to ride on Chorro regardless. I'd prefer to have those faster cyclists not be competing with families or slower cyclists on a protected bike path anyway. Let them do as they please, while routing all other cyclists to Lincoln Street. (My situation: I am an experienced cyclist who doesn't mind taking the scenic routes. I also live on Lincoln Street. It's a lovely cycling route, and I don't have a problem with seeing more cyclists on my own street, especially families and schoolchildren who want to avoid the busy streets. I don't wish my neighbors on Chorro to suffer the disruption and safety hazards that would come with a protected bike lane on Chorro (described above). Nancy Pickering inside Neighborhood 1 (registered) December 21, 2017, 8:24 PM The Protected Bike Lanes on Chorro, where you have no parking on the west side and a two way lane for bikes is going to be a nightmare for both sides of the street. 1) People who live on the west side and park on the east side will have to cross two lanes of automotive traffic and two lanes of bike traffic to get to their house. 2) Cars having to back out of their narrow driveways are going to have to go through a pedestrian walk and two ways of bike traffic and back into automotive traffic. This "Preferred" Alternative is going to become one of the biggest liabilities this town will have ever seen. And compound that at night, insufficient lighting, poor weather, dark clothed bicyclists, dark clothed pedistrians etc... The Lincoln Alternative is a far better choice. It certainly is less expensive. It can happen so much faster. It won't take out a large amount of parking.

Bicyclists will still use Chorro and Broad, but for bicyclists looking for a safe alternative it should be the Lincoln Street Alternative. Please walk that area at night, walk that area in the rain, please use common sense so there is a bike boulevard and not another waste of time and money that was spent on traffic calming on Chorro and Broad in approximately 1996.

Theresa Trew inside Neighborhood 1 (registered) December 21, 2017, 9:35 PM It will cost the city less money. Lincoln residents have shared that they would prefer bike traffic to increased car traffic which will happen when more traffic calming measures are put in place on Chorro. Name not shown inside Neighborhood 7 (registered) December 21, 2017, 9:44 PM If the people in that neighborhood (where parking would be taken) agree to that, then fine, but if they don't, it shouldn't even be considered. Anyone who supports taking away parking from residents should have to live with parking taken away for 3 months in their own neighborhood just to see how that works for them. As a lifelong SLO resident, I know I would be so unhappy if a city council member that didn't live in my neighborhood chose to take away parking from in front of my home. I have young adult children that come to visit, and my elderly father who has limited mobility needs to be brought to my house as close to the front step as possible. This would certainly limit my ability to have family and friends visit. I'm not against promoting bike riding, but the idea of changing a residential neighborhood just seems wrong. People will be forced to pave their front yards to add additional parking. Allen Root inside Neighborhood 8 (registered) December 22, 2017, 12:43 PM Going to Amsterdam for the holidays last year was fun as well as really informative about the importance of accomodating bicycles. Bicycles have the right of way over pedestrians and vehicles in Amsterdam, 840,000 people and 1,000,000 bicycles make up that population. In San Luis Obispo, our infrastructure and culture are quite different. As we transition to a greener bike and pedestrian city, we must be sensitive to the needs and wishes of effected inhabitants. If we can encourage bike usage and not gut the neighborhoods on-street parking, that seems the best compromise at this time.

I wouldn't think any reasonable buyer could have anticipated that this parking would be summarily removed from the streetway. How would a real estate purchase disclosure have warned them about this possibility? Disclosures serve the purpose of allowing the buyer to be forewarned about issues that could affect the value of what they are buying. That has been the gold standard of protecting buyers, who may be investing their life savings and making the most expensive expenditure of their lives, for some time now. They rely on it, along with any disclosure they can discover by visiting City Planning and Building-there really are no other protections a buyer can avail to try to make a prudent purchase, risky as real estate can be. And the City relies on owners to provide stability to their neighborhoods, as all we hear and read about locally is how problematic certain tenant demographics are in out town. To remove so much parking along Broad/Chorro by saying that residents shouldn't be allowed to 'store' their vehicles there is disingenuous. To make such a statement to owners who have been paying their property taxes seems irresponsible. I would think this would be an unexpected hit to the property values of the owners affected, and future buyers in SLO would be put on alert that there really is no way to assure oneself of a safe and reliable purchase, as the City might willy-nilly make unforeseen significant changes in historic residential zones to the detriment of their property value-very destabilizing! If the City could do this on Chorro, other such actions could take place anywhere within the City limits, to some extent impacting the market. The right thing to do is the less envasive option, otherwise the right thing to do is have an appraiser determine the value of the property value loss to individual properties, and remunerate those owners accordingly.

The safest place for a bicycle boulevard is away from heavy vehicle traffic, which is what the Lincoln alternative would provide.

I find the current situation to be acceptable. I'm afraid of the increased parking demand that is likely to appear in the next year from new development on Chorro at Foothill and on Palomar.

Dana Fiore inside Neighborhood 1 (unverified) January 2, 2018, 4:56 PM The “preferred” alternative creates many hardships and inconveniences for residents and homeowners for the few blocks of bike lanes this proposal will provide. The proposal will eliminate half the parking on a street where parking is already often difficult. It will create a hazardous situation for residents and bicyclists alike, when residents try to back out of their driveways through bike lanes. It also creates a hazard and inconvenience with regard to residents (many seniors) having to push three large garbage bins across two lanes of bike traffic and two lane of car traffic twice a week (back and forth) without any crosswalks on the street. This is not the right location for bike traffic between Cal Poly and downtown. California or Santa Rosa are better options. Chorro Street has very little bike traffic. Our informal count is two bikes an hour. I certainly hope the city has researched this! Finally, the street will lose its charm and appeal with the addition of the many unsightly road markers. This may lower property values.

Lincoln be is the obvious solution. Name not shown inside Neighborhood 1 (registered) January 5, 2018, 12:50 PM The preferred alternative would be DOA in a decent city. It is mean and abusive to residents, and cyclists will gain nothing from it. It is mean to old people, the infirm, and the disabled who depend upon street parking to get to and from their homes. It is an inappropriate solution to a non-problem. The Lincoln alternative makes no sense -- any cyclist who wants that can already do it. It would be interesting to understand the politics behind these stupid ideas. Why is this route even being given priority, it's not a major biking corridor? How about Mill Street from city hall to Grand -- far more bike use there? How about finishing what you've started with the cross town railroad path, which links downtown to Foothill in a much safer manner? Oh, and it's really cute of the city to only let us vote yes! No way to vote no. Name not shown inside Neighborhood 1 (registered) January 6, 2018, 8:21 PM I feel the Preferred Alternative (protected bike lanes on Chorro) is a crazy, expensive, inconvenient, unnecessary, unreasonable and even dangerous solution to a non-problem. The Lincoln Street route make so much more sense for cyclists that have a concern about riding in traffic. I happen to live on the west side of Chorro (the side that the bike lane is proposed for). Never mind that there would be no parking for visiting guests or family or even the FedEx truck in front of my house. If that was the only inconvenience I could live with it since I have a garage and my guests could use the parking on the other side of the street, although it might be as hard as trying to find a parking space downtown. But my real concern is when I try to imagine backing out of my driveway, across the two-way bike lane, then carefully navigating the narrow openings in between either concrete planters or those unsightly white markers, then proceeding into the traffic lanes on busy Chorro Street. Pulling into my driveway will be the challenge in reverse. Now multiply this by the number of houses that the bike lane will front. Does that sound like a safe scenario for cyclists, residents or even the corridor traffic? Then there's trash day. I wouldn't be allowed to put the bins in the bike lane and the other side of the street is going to be completely full of parked cars since the north side will have double what it currently has. So what do I do when there is absolutely no place to put my trash bins? Do I wheel all three down to a side street? And all this is to "encourage" bike use. It's not even that there is a problem. I see occasional bikes on Chorro, but it's very light and I haven't ever had a problem sharing Chorro with cyclists.

But I don't see the need on Chorro where each and every house has a driveway that cars will be pulling in and out of. It seems like the oddest choice of street sections to consider putting it! For cyclists that aren't comfortable riding in traffic, the Lincoln Street alternative is a good one. The only automobile traffic on that street is the residents that live there (and they won't be losing any parking). It's a wide, quiet street and is a much better, safer, more economical and reasonable solution than trying to squeeze a double bike lane onto already busy Chorro. I fear the City has already made up their mind and resident input counts very little toward their decision, but I'm trying to remain optimistic.

At the Chorro/Lincoln intersection, bicyclists will be crossing against oncoming traffic to get to their protected lane, (as will also happen at Mission St.) - something which, being a non-standard traffic interchange, will inevitably be LESS safe than the current arrangement. Having the the two-way protected lane on Chorro will also result in more dangerous situations when residents are going in and out of their driveways, (which the removal of parking will make more frequent than it is currently). Drivers will now have to be careful, since cyclists might now be coming from the "wrong direction" down the path - I have in fact been hit by a cyclist while sitting STATIONARY in my car in a similar situation. Elderly residents are bound to have problems in this regard. This is going to make this section of the road less safe for everyone.

I have observed this to be true, (and am guilty of it myself when cycling). What this means is that, in reality, cyclists - especially those continuing on Chorro to get to Poly - simply aren't going to use the protected lane on the wrong side of the street to give themselves an easier ride towards Foothill (and rather defeating the purpose of sacrificing all of that parking). On the Broad street end of this Rube Goldberg, lots of residential parking is being sacrificed to provide a protected lane IN ONLY ONE DIRECTION. So, by definition, it's either not safe or a useless imposition, (take your pick depending on your opinion on the project). It seems like this proposal is going to spend a lot of money to simply replace one set of unsafe conditions with a new set of unsafe conditions, and aggravate most people in the neighborhood to boot.

Name not available (unclaimed) January 13, 2018, 6:27 PM Each of these locations include single family residential neighborhoods from a time where vehicles were the predominant transportation choice. Parking loss from any location in these routes will result in increased attempt to bend the parking rules to "fit" into tight spots. Every version of this plan increases the risk of pedestrians vs bicycle incidents. Aside from building the legal arguments in a short survey, parking should not be removed in any options. The bicyclists who want these boulevards are athletic enough such that any bikeway should require that cyclists receive tickets for exceeding residential speeds especially on the downhill sections. Already tough enough to open a car door without potentially injuring an unprotected rider. Name not available (unclaimed) January 15, 2018, 2:33 PM Neither option will increase the safety for bicyclists. Follow what is already written into the City of San Luis Obispo's General Plan and close the Broad Street Freeway interchange. This will dramatically calm the traffic on Broad Street and allow Broad Street to be an effective bike boulevard. If the City will not work with Cal Trans and put this closure into effect (as the City of Arroyo Grande did at Brisco Street), then focus on calming the traffic so bikes, cars and pedestrians can share the roads safely. Creating buffered bike lanes on streets that have driveway after driveway only creates more challenges for safe maneuvering and may increase the danger for bicyclists. The first plan looks like a recipe for confusion and accidents. It also removes much needed parking for residents already impacted with cars from other neighborhoods and increased density.

Donald Lynch inside Neighborhood 1 (registered) December 21, 2017, 11:17 AM I can't understand why this potential project is under consideration. There is minimal bike use of these streets. And there is extensive use by motor vehicles. There is no explanation why either alternative should exist. Lance Parker inside Neighborhood 11 (registered) December 21, 2017, 11:19 AM I do not support either project/alternative. Name not available (unclaimed) December 21, 2017, 12:28 PM I still think you are harming the neighborhoods where people who have lived here for years will suffer. We are surrounded by students and this is just one more idea that affects the quality of seniors in the neighborhoods.

Name not shown inside Neighborhood 8 (registered) December 21, 2017, 1:56 PM These are major corridors for fire trucks and regular vehicular traffic. Making these older, narrow streets even narrower or eliminating on-street parking will only force vehicles onto other streets, doubling traffic there and increasing the chance of vehicular accidents. Moreover, the people who live in these older homes will have nowhere for guests to park. This devalues their property without compensating them. Therefore, I believe the residents should have the final say on this given the negative impacts they will suffer. This could conceivably result in a lawsuit by residents - not good! Your job is to improve the lives of all our residents not just bicyclists. Building more bicycle-friendly neighborhoods is a much better idea and is completely do-able without impacting current residents.. BTW I do not live in this area, Name not shown inside Neighborhood 1 (registered) December 21, 2017, 2:14 PM I live in the neighborhood, drive Broad and Chorro daily, and ride my bike on Broad occasionally. The "Preferred Alternative" does not solve the problem of bicycle/motor vehicle interface. Sharing lanes does not work well for motorists or bicyclists. The 2-way bike lane on Chorro only covers a few short blocks, and I don't know if the "wrong way" bike lane will get much use, but I'm sure it will cause unsafe traffic moves by northbound bicycles at the Chorro/Lincoln intersection. The Lincoln Street option is a non-alternative, for the above reasons and the fact that it is the long way around to get up to Foothill. While Lincoln is a lovely street, most bicyclists are not out for a sightseeing ride, and I think most bicycles would continue to use Chorro or Broad. (I know I would.) If these are the only two options, I think it would be better to leave things as they are. The most sensible option is the paired couplet (Chorro one-way northbound and Broad one way-southbound) - this would separate bikes and cars by eliminating traffic lanes, not parking. Aaron Salmon inside Neighborhood 1 (registered) December 21, 2017, 2:40 PM I support zero additional bike lanes in the area.

I drive Chorro street on a daily basis and I rarely have trouble with bike auto conflicts. Most problems I do encounter are south bound on Chorro, due to bicyclists running stop signs. Gracie Tedone Manderscheid inside Neighborhood 1 (registered) January 1, 2018, 5:51 PM The streets most dangerous to bicyclists are those leading up to and surrounding Cal Poly. This was my response on the website Nextdoor: I'm happy to see that two of my siblings, Bob Tedone and Teresa Goossen, replied to this post.

Responses sorted chronologically As of January 17, 2018, 8:55 AM http://www.peakdemocracy.com/5787 Page 10 of 13 inhabited by Poly teachers and their families, is now mostly a college neighborhood. Finding parking in front of our dad's home is sometimes a problem. I can't imagine what we would do if there were no parking at all. Our brother Matt who lives in Sunnyvale (a Tedone defector!) said a bike boulevard was created in his area. He said many residents on those affected streets ripped out their front yards in order to put in parking. I, like my brother Bob, find that the areas most dangerous for bikers are the streets around Cal Poly, Foothill, California Boulevard, etc. I travel from Foothill, across California to Albert Drive. I'm an old lady driver who is very cautious and have been frightened by near misses (not me) between drivers and bicyclists. I appreciate the bicyclists who wear helmets and reflective clothing, have reflectors on the back of their bikes and a front headlight and those do not have earpieces or are not checking their phones. I appreciate the drivers who do not turn into or out of shopping center driveways in front of bikers, who use their turn signals and who are not wearing earpieces or checking their phones. Have our city council members who are "transparent" (buzz word) listed the costs of these plans? If so, I must have missed it. This is the letter I wrote to the city council: City Council, Eliminating parking in front of residents' homes would create an undue hardship on those who live on the proposed bike boulevard routes and for family and friends who visit them. Do visitors circle the blocks looking for parking, thus creating pollution--just the thing bicycle advocates want to avoid? My siblings and I park in front of my 94 year-old father's house on Albert Drive in order to drive him on errands. How would it be for him and others with limited mobility if there was no parking in front of their homes? My daughter, son-in-law and two boys ages four and almost two are currently living with us. How would it be for them to load and unload their children, groceries and diaper bags if there was no parking in from of my house? Missing from article The Tribune today is the cost of both proposals. I often read that the city council wishes to be "transparent" (the latest buzz word). Just what are the costs? I worry more about bicyclist on Foothill where there is already no street parking. I've seen many near misses of drivers not yielding to bicyclist who are in the bike lane. Instead the drivers turn in front of them when going into and out of shopping center driveways. It will only become worse once 22 Chorro is completed (and that's another story). As I wrote to you once before: I come from Southern Italian peasant stock. My parents would use a dialect phrase “comedo mi.” A very loose translation is “I will do something inappropriate that is convenient to me.” An example of this is, leaving your grocery cart in the parking lot. Another example is, taking away the rights of others to have accessibility to their own homes.

Richard Manderscheid inside Neighborhood 1 (registered) January 1, 2018, 6:47 PM I oppose both plans as unnecessary and a burden to the property owners on Chorro an Broad. Bicyclists and motorists alike can continue to share the road without disrupting an established neighborhood. On-street parking is a necessity for the safety of residents and not "excess vehicle storage" as stated by one of our current City Council members. I also do not like the precedent of removing existing parking. Whose parking will you take away next? Name not shown outside Neighborhoods (registered) January 1, 2018, 8:59 PM Once again, the few dictate how the majority must live. Bicycle Boulevard is a pet project which will displace and inconvenience the existing taxpaying property owners, many who have lived locally for several decades. This, as with several other proposed projects, is taking yet another notch of parking away and displacing the inhabitants for the convenience of riders. Given distance and time constraints, most people do not have the option to utilize bicycles to get to work and manage their daily living. Name not shown inside Neighborhood 7 (registered) January 4, 2018, 3:41 PM Neither. Fix the dire parking situation in SLO, don't make it worse. Name not shown inside Neighborhood 4 (unverified) January 6, 2018, 3:36 PM Neither option is viable. I do not support limiting more parking, there is not enough parking now and it isn't fair to the property owners whose street parking is eliminated. Re-routing the traffic is confusing and will make more congestion in traffic. This is a major thoroughfare and I suggest you do a study to see what the traffic really is at 7:45am and 5:00 pm. People take kids to Teach school (off of Patricia), others to and from town from Los Osos, Baywood, or Irish Hills. People who live on that side of town have to drive that every day and you are only creating more traffic on one or both of those streets. Ramona is congested with buses and people crossing to the Foothill stores. i think you should leave it the way it is now with bike sharing the road with cars during parts of the narrower part of the street. How many bicyclists have actually been hit in this area? none that I have heard of unless the bicyclist did not have a light on for a vehicle to see them.

The inconvenience for the residents will far outweigh the benefits. If you want it to be safer just lower the speed limit, and enforce the lower limit. Bob Ehlers inside Neighborhood 8 (registered) January 13, 2018, 5:41 AM No change. Leave all roads as is. Traffic signs and existing road bumps only. Increase traffic enforcement. Name not available (unclaimed) January 13, 2018, 2:38 PM I want it to remain as it is now. There should be no loss of parking for the residents of Chorro/ Broad Street. Emilie Foster inside Neighborhood 1 (registered) January 13, 2018, 6:45 PM It works well as is, no sexy green bike lane needed. Both options create too many negative impacts to residents. Name not available (unclaimed) January 15, 2018, 9:23 AM I would like to have seen a choice that says no change to the street. While the Lincoln Street route is preferable to the two choices, since it will have less impact on street parking for residents, I would like to see no parking reduction. These are people's homes who need access to street parking and I don't believe our council should be taking the ability to park in front of one's home away from residents, except in emergency situations and truly this is not an emergency situation. Some of the older homes have little to no off street parking, and many residents in SLO are seniors. Forcing them to walk a lengthy distance will be dangerous for them. Further, if you are a family with one or two children who are driving (like my daughter and her family), where will the extra vehicles park? They will be forced to park in front of someone else's home in an adjacent neighborhood so they will be over-loaded with parking problems. You will NOT force people out of their cars and many of us feel we are living in a dictatorship when you attempt to do something like this. Just because it's your belief, doesn't mean your constituents believe the same. What's good for a few may not be good for the many. While your hearts may be in the right place, the reality of what you are attempting to do is wrong.
