SUMMARY
Over the years, Council has taken several actions to develop a policy that ensures the City builds streets that are safe, convenient for travel regardless of age or ability, and accommodate motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, and users of public transportation. On March 19, 2013, Council adopted Resolution No. 13-027, for a city-wide Complete Streets Policy to support the design and development of a comprehensive, integrated transportation network to allow for safe, convenient travel along and across streets for all users.
Council has prioritized Main Street as one of the key streets that requires improvement due to its location in the core downtown area, which offers a wide-range of housing choices (existing and planned future), including affordable housing options, retail stores, services in close proximity to BART and other public transit services.
Staff recommends that the Committee review the public’s feedback from the community meeting and provide direction for which design concept to move forward with for construction documents.
