I have resigned my position from the ATC due to a conflict of interest on the project. I have spent countless hours working with staff, council, and neighbors to come to some sort of solution. What has resulted is a lengthy drawn out process that has created a lot of unfounded fear around this project. It is clear that many residents are unwilling to make a slight sacrifice to for the safety of all roadway users and meet our city wide goals. After the last workshop, many residents opposed the bike boulevard approach with diverted traffic. You will probably have a large group of people asking for just traffic calming, which is not inline with our bike master plan, circulation plan, mode shift goals, vision zero goal, or climate action plan. As the council resolution is worded, the backup plan is for protected bike lanes. I think the recommendation from the ATC is to pursue one of these protected bike lane approaches (option 3 and 4). In my conversations with staff I did find out that the original plans for the one‐way couplet are not acceptable by SLO fire department. I gathered that there needs to be 20ft for the fire truck to get around cars and preferred Chorro to be southbound. Therefore staff has some suggestions which they will present to you at the meeting. After considering the options, as a resident of the Anholm neighborhood, I am supportive of these protected bike lanes options. I am leaning toward the one‐way couplet with some additional suggestions because its ability to accommodate a separate bike lane for the entire length of the corridor. I have attached two documents that demonstrate the suggestions and overall layout for the neighborhood. One‐way couplets (see attached drawing). 1. Vehicle traffic is southbound on Chorro and northbound on Broad. 2. Chorro should be configured with Class 2 bike lane southbound with a buffered northbound bike lane maintaining the ability for bikes to travel both north and sound which maintains the desire lines for the cal poly students that typically use Murrary. This also will encourage new residents of the student housing project at 22 Chorro to use their bikes instead of cars. 3. Broad street between Ramona and Mission should remove the parking from the west side of the street so that a southbound protected bike lane can fit. This will give separated bike lanes the ability to go north or south along this section which maintain the current desire lines for families taking their kids to school. Pros: ‐ Separated bike lanes for the entire length of the route will have the highest likelihood of attracting interested but concerned riders. ‐ Traffic circulation is balanced one Broad and Chorro. ‐ Side streets will likely only see residential traffic and may decrease in vehicle cross cutting. ‐ Maintains the desire lines for bikes. ‐ Should give a safe place for young riders to ride and not use the sidewalk. ‐ Could be seen as the compromise that doesn't disrupt traffic circulation as sign Cons: ‐Contra flow may not seem intuitive to some at first. But this is essentially just like a two way street, but without cars traveling in one of the directions. 2 ‐ Broad street between Mission and Ramona needs about 15 parking spots removed to achieve the best configuration for cyclist. ‐There are fewer actual physical protected bike lanes with this option, but is a vast improvement over no dedicated bike facilities in the current configuration. Protected Cycletrack with removal of parking (see attached drawing): 1. Chorro street is wide enough to fit a Class 2 bike lane without removing parking or drive lanes. I suggest re‐stripping the section north of Mission to include a northbound bike lane. This allows riders to have a safe separated bike lane as they ride up the hill on Chorro and is consistent with Cal Poly students desire line and helps connect to the new 22 Chorro student house complex. 2.Broad street should include additional traffic calming to slow traffic as much as possible for the shared street approach. Pros: ‐ The plan is a bit more vetted out ‐ It had the majority community support during the last city council meeting. ‐ It provides protected bike lanes for most of the route Cons: ‐ There is still a section on Broad that requires bikes to share the lane with bikes and can add a level of stress that may discourage some concerned riders. ‐ It removes parking which was a fairly contentious item for people. ‐ Two way cycle track can be confusing an a learning curve for people. Thanks for reading and considering. Let me know if you would like any clarity on any of the points I have made. I look forward to hearing the results of your discussion. PS I am supportive of the parking protected bike lanes on Laurel Lane.
