4SAN RAFAEL Agenda Item No: 3_c THE CITY WITH A MISSION Meeting Date: November 21, 2016 SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Department: PUBLIC WORKS Prepared by: Bill Guerin, City Manager Approval: Public Works Director TOPIC: BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN UPDATE SUBJECT: RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN RAFAEL AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH ALTA PLANNING + DESIGN TO ASSIST WITH THE UPDATE OF SAN RAFAEL'S BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN, IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $60,000. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt resolution. BACKGROUND: San Rafael's original Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan (BPMP) was formulated with the assistance of the City's Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee and Nelson/Nygaard Consulting Associates in 2001, and adopted by Council the following year. The plan's purpose was "to integrate proposed bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure improvements into San Rafael's overall transportation plan." The plan was updated in 2011, this time with the assistance of transportation consultants Alta Planning + Design. The 2002 and 2011 plans were consistent with the requirements set forth in the California Bicycle Transportation Act (BTA). In 2013 the BTA, Safe Routes to School and other California non -motorized transportation programs were consolidated into the Caltrans Active Transportation Program (ATP). ATP encourages increased use of non -motorized transportation to achieve the following goals: • Increase biking and walking trips • Increase safety and mobility for non -motorized users • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions • Improve public health • Ensure that disadvantaged communities fully share program benefits • Provide an array of projects for the benefit of active transportation users FOR CITY CLERK ONLY File No.: 4-3-632 x 261 Council Meeting: 11/21/2016 Disposition: Resolution 14234 SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2 ATP guidelines suggest updating BPMP's every five years. That timeline is particularly important to San Rafael given the pending introduction of SMART rail service and its effect on all modes of transportation in the downtown corridor. SMART operations have already changed traffic patterns and will fundamentally impact pedestrian and bicyclist accessibility and safety. While these changes were essentially speculative during the 2011 update process, they will certainly be a major focus going forward. To initiate the update process, Public Works staff, in collaboration with San Rafael Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) members, wrote and distributed a Request for Proposals for transportation planning services this past June. Two firms, Alta Planning + Design and Fehr & Peers, submitted proposals. ANALYSIS: Fundamentally, master plans describe current bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure conditions and future capital project and grant funding opportunities. Establishing safe, navigable north -south and east -west routes through San Rafael has been a major goal since the first plan was adopted. More recently, the BPAC has advocated for a multi -use path from the Bettini Transit Center to Andersen Drive along the SMART rail corridor. The location of the Transit Center itself will have a direct bearing on the final document. The ultimate effectiveness of the planning process will depend upon the extent and viability of public engagement and outreach. It is essential that the process incorporate the needs of pedestrians, bicyclists, motor vehicle drivers, the business community, neighborhood groups, etc. With these parameters in mind, a three member sub -committee of the BPAC reviewed proposals, interviewed representatives of Alta Planning + Design and Fehr & Peers, and formulated follow-up questions. Both firms have worked extensively with Bay Area communities on bicycle and pedestrian planning. Both are quite familiar with ATP requirements and the plan update process. The cost proposals from the two firms were markedly different. Alta proposed a budget of approximately $60,000; Fehr & Peers proposed a budget of approximately $100,000. Ultimately, the sub -committee recommended entering into an agreement with Alta Planning + Design. That recommendation was accepted by the BPAC. Sub -committee members and the committee as a whole emphasized the need for extensive and innovative community engagement and integration of the updated BPMP plan with other City planning documents. Prime examples are the General Plan and the Downtown Station Area Plan. Again stressing plan integration, BPAC members requested collaboration with and input from the City's Community Development Department throughout the update process. Pursuant to these requests, Alta Planning + Design updated their original July 1, 2016 proposal (Attachment 2) with an updated scope of work, budget and schedule, which is attached as Exhibit A to the proposed Resolution (Attachment 1). Staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Alta Planning + Design for this updated scope of work, in a not -to -exceed amount of $60,000. SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 3 FISCAL IMPACT: Alta has proposed a budget of $57,447; staff recommends a contingency of $2,553 (4.4%), for a not -to -exceed amount of $60,000. It is important to note that Alta Planning + Design has identified significant funding ($24,250) for community engagement and outreach, in keeping with the recommendation of BPAC members. With Council's approval, funding for the project would come from the City's General Fund. OPTIONS: 1. Council may adopt the Resolution, as presented, authorizing an agreement for the work described in Exhibit A to the Resolution, in a final form to be approved by the City Attorney. Council may direct staff to work with Alta Planning + Design to modify the scope of work proposed in Exhibit A to the Resolution. Council may reject the proposal and direct staff to secure the services of a different transportation planning firm. Staff does not recommend this option because it will delay the completion of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan update. ACTION REQUIRED: Adopt attached Resolution. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Resolution, with attached Exhibit A (Alta Planning + Design updated scope of work, budget and schedule, dated October 13, 2016) 2.

Printed Name: Natalie Lozano Title: Vice President as duly authorized and, By: Printed Name: Carolyn Sulivan Title: Vice President as duly authorized City of San Rafael Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update Alta Planning + Design Task 1. Initiation and Management Alta believes in strong coordination with our clients. For the San Rafael Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Update project, strong collaboration with the City's Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) will help deliver the product on schedule, on budget, and with a high-level of community support. Pre Kick-off Meeting. The project pre kick-off meeting provides an opportunity for the project team to develop a shared vision for how to engage San Rafael residents and workers on bicyclist and pedestrian issues, and define the high- level goals of the plan. Alta will conduct an introductory telephone or videoconference interview with City staff to discuss project objectives and craft the agenda for the project kick-off meeting. The pre kick-off meeting agenda will include: • Introductions. • Review of project schedule and milestones. • Facilitated discussion of project objectives. • Definition of action items throughout the project. • Agreement on project meeting schedule. • Discussion of the desired format for the Plan document. The City will secure a meeting room, identify meeting attendees, and confirm attendance. Ongoing Project Management. Throughout the project, there will be ongoing coordination between Alta's project manager and the City of San Rafael project manager — including email, phone and written communication to keep the City up-to-date on Plan development. Upon project initiation, Alta will work with City staff to finalize the work scope and budget. Alta will prepare and maintain a project schedule throughout the life of the project. Alta will oversee the budget expenditures of the consultant team, including subcontractors. Invoicing on the project will occur monthly with a status report provided identifying potential delays and proposed corrective actions Alta will employ a three-tier quality control program including a detailed review of deliverables by the project manager, principal, and a copy editor prior to sending to the City. Deliverables: • Project pre kick-off meeting, facilitated by up to two (2) members of the Alta team, with a meeting agenda and memo summary. • Finalized scope of work and project schedule. Monthly progress reports, including work completed, upcoming deliverables, action items with identified responsibilities, and identified issues or problems. Task 2. Engagement and Outreach Project Website. Using our in-house graphic and web design expertise, Alta will design and host a project website, with the web address to be confirmed with City staff. The webpage will provide the public and interested stakeholders updated project information (such as meeting dates or the availability of draft documents) and contact information. Our online presence will enable our team and members of the BPAC to crowdsource project ideas via one (1) interactive web map. Website visitors will be able to identify specific locations or routes and provide comments about each. We will use these suggestions when developing recommendations in the draft plan. BPAC Targeted Outreach. The BPAC will conduct targeted outreach, collecting feedback on proposed projects and prioritization. At the kick-off meeting, the project team will discuss potential targeted outreach opportunities. Alta will provide the BPAC with recommendations for facilitating mini -workshops with interested stakeholder groups and outreach at transit hubs, festivals, and other select locations, including how to meaningfully engage people in a City of San Rafael Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update Alta Planning + Design discussion about bicycle and pedestrian issues in San Rafael. If the project team is interested in pursuing pop-up events as part of this Plan, Alta will: • Work with City staff and the BPAC to identify a list of pop-up event opportunities. • Help define the format of the event(s). • Identify data collection opportunities (e.g., written surveys, map exercises, etc.). • Provide electronic copies of previously developed public outreach collateral. The BPAC will staff and facilitate targeted outreach activities. The City will consolidate and share any public feedback gained through targeted outreach events with Alta. Alta Targeted Outreach. Alta will facilitate up to two (2) informal, pop-up outreach events at locations with heavy foot or bicycle traffic (i.e., Starbucks, farmer's market, cafes, etc.). These events will allow the team to collect information from residents that may not otherwise engage in the planning process by meeting them where they work, shop, or recreate. BPAC Meetings. Alta will lead up to four (4) BPAC meetings, including a kick-off meeting, public workshop, and two additional BPAC meetings, described below. At the first BPAC meeting, Alta will facilitate a project kick-off that will include a discussion about the scope and schedule of the project, a walk-through of the project website, a mini workshop on conducting community outreach using the project website, and a discussion about potential outreach locations. At the second BPAC meeting, Alta will co -lead a Public Workshop with the City and BPAC, designed to reach a large swath of San Rafael residents and workers. The purpose of the Public Workshop will be to solicit community feedback on bicycle and pedestrian issues, including issues related to infrastructure, programs, and policies. The format of the Public Workshop will be broken into several stations for community members to provide feedback. Alta will help facilitate an interactive activity targeted at kids ten years old and younger, allowing attendees to bring their entire families. Depending on attendance and the flow of people to the workshop, Alta will facilitate a brief wrap-up discussion about the biggest takeaways of the workshop. Alta will develop the agenda, presentation materials, maps, methods to gather input, and summary notes. The City will secure a meeting room, notify Alta of the meeting room layout and availability of outlets and monitors, advertise the meeting to the public, and provide snacks for the meeting. At the third BPAC meeting, Alta will present the consolidated findings from the online engagement efforts and the Public Workshop, followed by an initial list of proposed projects, programs, and policies. The BPAC will have an opportunity to identify any missing projects, programs, and policies, and Alta will use the updated draft list to facilitate a walking workshop of a select priority projects and a discussion on a method to prioritize the projects. Alta will conduct a prioritization exercise with the BPAC and the City to develop a draft list of project priorities. Before closing the meeting, Alta will empower the BPAC to take this list of project priorities back to the engaged constituencies and to solicit feedback through the project website, identifying their top five (5) projects for implementation over the next five (5) years. At the fourth and final BPAC meeting, Alta will facilitate a discussion about the draft plan and work with the City and the BPAC to identify edits, as well as solidify the project priority list. The City will secure meeting rooms, advertise the meetings to the BPAC, and confirm attendance. Community Presentations. Alta will present the draft plan with a focus on the proposed project list to up to four (4) community groups, agencies, or organizations selected by the City. Each presentation will be organized so that the audience will be able to offer input on the project list and suggest connections to recent, ongoing, and planned project work within the region that may impact the proposed project list. One (1) community presentation will be reserved to present the Draft Plan to the San Rafael City Council. The City will be responsible for subsequent City Council presentations or any other presentations of the Final Plan. City of San Rafael Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update Alta Planning + Design Online Survey. San Rafael residents will also be able to complete an online survey that includes Alta's "Four Types of Bicyclists" visual survey and a pedestrian component. The "Four Types of Bicyclists" survey builds on Roger Geller's pioneering work to provide the City with a baseline of resident perceptions of bicycle infrastructure quality by sorting residents into one of four categories: Strong and Fearless, Enthused and Confident, Interested but Concerned, and No Way No How. Alta will use its existing database of similar survey responses conducted in other cities to show how San Rafael resident's preferences compare to these cities and to assess the latent demand for bicycling in the city. In addition, Alta will prepare and administer a pedestrian component to the survey, asking respondents questions on their trip purpose, trip length, frequency, and origin, and destination. We will also ask pedestrians for their input on the type of improvements they'd like to see, and their major areas of concern, and ideas for improvements. Deliverables: • Project website, updated at key project milestones, including an online version of the project's background information, one (1) online interactive map tool for the needs analysis, survey, proposed policies and recommendations, and draft and final plan documents. • Up to four (4) BPAC meetings facilitated by up to two (2) members of the Alta team, including a project kick- off meeting, public workshop, and project prioritization meeting with walking workshop • Up to four (4) community presentations, including a presentation of the draft plan to City Council • Administer one (1) online survey Task 3. Collect and Review Existing Data/Conditions Data Collection. Alta will provide the City with a Data Request Memo, outlining the data needed to make the plan update compliant with Caltrans' Active Transportation Program (ATP) requirements. Project and Expenditure Review. Documenting successful projects completed between the 2011 plan update and the 2016 plan update can go a long way in inspiring enthusiasm among stakeholders. Alta will summarize annual bicycle and pedestrian expenditures in San Rafael and will illustrate recently completed projects per ATP requirements. Plan and Policy Review. Alta will review related plans, policies, and recent legislation. The review will help identify opportunities to incorporate bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure into transportation and larger planning efforts. This review will include the following: • MTC Regional Bicycle Plan for the San Francisco Bay Area • Marin County Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan • Novato, San Anselmo, and Larkspur Bicycle Plans • San Rafael Circulation Element • Transit Center Relocation Plan • Richmond Bridge Bikeway Plan • San Rafael Civic Center Station Area Plan • North San Rafael Vision Promenade Conceptual Plan The City will also describe the extent of existing bicycle programs in the City, including recreational programs and events run by the City. Existing Conditions. Alta will illustrate and document existing bicycle and pedestrian conditions in San Rafael in compliance with ATP requirements. Using City provided data, Alta will map existing bicycle facilities, support facilities (bicycle parking, showers, etc.), and pedestrian facilities (including facilities at major transit hubs). In addition, Alta will summarize bicycle and pedestrian wayfinding and signage standards in Marin County, existing bicycle -and pedestrian programs (such as Safe Routes to Schools), and existing efforts to document and evaluate the success of bicycle and pedestrian projects. Deliverables: • Data request memo. City of San Rafael Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update Alta Planning + Design • Up to four (4) maps of existing bicycle and pedestrian facilities. • Technical memorandum summarizing relevant findings of up to 10 plans or other documents provided by the City, bicycle and pedestrian expenditures between 2011 and 2016, and existing bicycle and pedestrian conditions in San Rafael. IF-IMEANOMOPUT-KIMM"I- I I Identifying needs is a critical step in any bicycle and pedestrian master plan process. Alta will examine both bicycle and pedestrian needs, paying specific attention to active transportation needs for groups that are active transportation/transit dependent, for seniors, and for the disabled. Needs refer to both deficiencies in the existing networks or infrastructure and to opportunities to improve those networks to increase walking and bicycling in San Rafael. Needs will be identified through a combination of public outreach, a review of land use and sociodemographic patterns, existing and forecasted demand, and a safety analysis of existing and potential safety concerns. Land Use Analysis. Alta will analyze existing and planned land use patterns to identify the most important corridors for future bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. Demand, Equity, and Economic Benefits Analysis. Alta will conduct interrelated analyses to identify the potential for increased bicycling and walking in San Rafael, the location of Communities of Concern in San Rafael (per MTC guidelines), and existing economic benefits of current rates of bicycling and walking. Safety Analysis. Alta will perform a detailed analysis of Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) data for the past 10 years to identify and map individual streets and intersections experiencing high numbers of collisions involving bicyclists and pedestrians. Additionally, we will work with City staff and local stakeholders to identify high-risk intersections, difficult grades, and areas with high stress for bicycling and walking, such as high-volume or high-speed roadways. Alta will prepare graphics to illustrate the locations of collisions and high -street roadways. Information derived from the collision analysis will be used to identify specific locations for further review and proposed improvements. Community -Identified Issues. Using data received from the project website, BPAC meetings, and Public Workshop, Alta will organize and summarize the problem areas for bicycling and walking in San Rafael, including gaps in infrastructure, policy, and programs. Deliverables: • Maps illustrating land use patterns, MTC's Communities of Concern within San Rafael, and bicycle- and pedestrian -involved collisions resulting in injuries or fatalities over the last ten years of available data. • Technical memorandum summarizing the method and results of the needs analysis. Task 5. Recommended Network, Implementation, and Funding Strategies The core of the plan will be an identification of recommended projects and programs for future implementation. This task will provide San Rafael with a list of projects, a method to prioritize projects, and identification of funding sources to support future projects. This Task will synthesize the information collected in Tasks 2, 3, and 4 to develop infrastructural and programmatic recommendations and a clear path forward for prioritization and implementation for the City to provide the most benefit to the most residents following plan adoption. Alta will work collaboratively with the City and BPAC to develop a recommended network that includes: • Bikeway, pedestrian and trail network improvements • Spot improvements • Future studies (signal timing, over/under crossings, trails, or other projects that will require further study) • Future projects (suggested routes to school maps, streetscape corridor plans, etc.) City of San Rafael Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update Alta Planning + Design Recommended programs that address education, encouragement, enforcement and evaluation Project Identification. The projects will be gathered from the analysis of existing conditions, the community survey, and any additional input gathered through the process. The projects will be organized by Plan goals and objectives, and will include information to support prioritization, including: • Demonstrated need (collisions, demand, community identified priorities) • Roadway type (arterial, collector, local) • Connectivity (connection to key activity centers) • Overcomes barriers Project Evaluation and Prioritization. The proposed projects will be evaluated using a qualitative process developed by the consultant team, with input from the BPAC and the public. Typical project evaluation criteria include: • Public Support: The public meetings and BPAC will be designed to best understand public priorities for investments in active transportation in San Rafael. • Safety: The project addresses safety concerns such as reported collisions. • Community Identified Improvement: The project is at a community identified challenge area. • Connectivity: The project improves or provides a connection to a key destination. • Transit Coordination: The project improves connections to transit. • Feasibility/Cost Effectiveness: The project can be implemented within a one -to -five year time frame. Projects that require outside agency approval or significant funding will receive lower scores. Recommended Network. Based on our evaluation and public and stakeholder input, Alta will develop a recommended network that includes both bicycle and pedestrian facilities. We will make sure that the network includes top community priorities, while providing a connected network. Alta will also identify supporting infrastructure needed for a comprehensive bikeways network and inviting pedestrian ways, including wayfinding signage, end of trip facilities (such as bicycle racks, storage and lockers), and similar infrastructure. Funding. As a mid-sized City, San Rafael's ability to fund projects depends greatly on its ability to leverage regional, state, and federal funds. Alta has significant experience helping cities throughout California apply for and receive Caltrans Active Transportation Program (ATP) grant funds and we have significant success helping agencies apply for Federal TIGER grant funds for active transportation projects. Alta will identify possible funding sources, including County and regional funds, Caltrans ATP grants, California Strategic Growth Council grants, and others. For the priority projects identified for project sheets and/or conceptual design, Alta will review eligibility for these funding sources and identify time -frames for grant development and application. Optional: Priority Project Sheets. Alta will provide up to two priority project sheets that include the conceptual design information required for grant applications. These sheets provide a tool to help San Rafael quickly implement projects by readying the City to apply for state and federal grants. Alta will use high quality photos and design guideline graphics to describe and articulate project intent. This task will take place after projects have been prioritized through the planning process but before completion of the final plan. Deliverables • Technical memorandum summarizing prioritized projects, including complete list of project, prioritization criteria and funding sources. • Optional two (2) Priority Project Sheets.

[separately attached] This page intentionally blank transportation I recreation I innovation Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update I Alta Planning + Design The City of San Rafael has recently made prog- ress toward a bold new transportation vision for the city, centered around an interconnected network of proposed bicycle and pedestrian routes suitable for travelers of all ages and abilities. This Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update presents an opportu- nity to help grow and expand that vision. Alta has been involved in helping to plan bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure and programs in the City of San Rafael since 1999. As the authors of the previous update to the San Rafael Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan in 2011, we are aware that the City of San Rafael needs an efficient approach to identifying opportuni- ties to enhance bike and pedestrian networks for San Rafael. The 2011 Plan has matured, and San Rafael is ready to take a fresh look at its active transporta- tion network. The past five years have seen changing needs for commute and recreational trips in San Rafael, increased community interest in active transporta- tion, and a growing consensus and focus on pedes- trian infrastucture and support. Alta will make sure our plan development efforts reflect these as well as other community -identified desires. Project Overview The revised Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan must enjoy wide support among City stakeholders and members of the public. To this end, resources have been devoted to community engagement activities that are intended to establish and nurture support for the plan update and ensure that the plan reflects community aspirations. Also critical to the plan update process is a deep dive into existing and potential safety hazards that are discouraging bicycle and pedestrian trips. Alta's anal- ysis will focus on safety as the primary concern of San Rafael residents and workers. Finally, Alta will produce a graphically -appealing final plan that is easy to read and will provide a clear frame- work to guide the City's bicycle and pedestrian invest- ments over the next five to ten years. This approach will help position San Rafael to successfully leverage funding from multiple sources, including county- and state/federal-level grant programs. Our team is prepared to meet the City's needs, and will work closely with City staff and stakeholders to prepare this plan within the guidelines specified in the City's Request for Proposals.

At the first meeting, Alta will present the consolidated findings from the online engagement efforts and the public workshop, followed by an initial list of proposed projects, programs, and policies. The BPAC will have an opportunity to identify any missing projects, programs, and policies, and Alta will use the updated draft list to facilitate a discussion on a method to priori- tize the projects. Alta will conduct a prioritization exer- cise with the BPAC and the City to develop a draft list of project priorities. Before closing the meeting, Alta will empower the BPAC to take this list of project prior- ities back to the engaged constituencies and to solicit feedback through the project website, identifying their top five (5) projects for implementation over the next five (5) years. 18 At the final BPAC meeting, Alta will facilitate a discus- sion about the draft plan and work with the City and the BPAC to identify edits, as well as solidify the project priority list. The City will secure meeting rooms, advertise the meetings to the BPAC, and confirm attendance. Optional. "Four Types of Bicyclists" Survey. As an optional task, San Rafael residents will also be able to complete Alta's "Four Types of Bicyclists" visual survey that builds on Roger Geller's pioneering work to provide the City with a baseline of resident percep- tions of bicycle infrastructure quality by sorting resi- dents into one of four categories: Strong and Fearless, Enthused and Confident, Interested but Concerned, and No Way No How. Alta will customize the survey to reflect conditions familiar to San Rafael residents through the use of photos from around Marin County. Additionally, Alta will use its existing database of similar survey responses conducted in other cities to show how San Rafael resident's preferences compare to these cities and to assess the latent demand for bicycling in the city. Deliverables: • Project website, updated at key project milestones, including an online version of the project's back- ground information, interactive mapping tool, needs analysis, survey, proposed policies and recommen- dations, and draft and final plan documents. • One (1) public workshop facilitated by up to two (2) members of the Alta team and workshop summary. • Two (2) additional BPAC meetings facilitated by one member of the Alta Team, including agendas and meeting summaries. Task 3. Collect and Review Existing Data/Conditions Data Collection. Alta will provide the City with a Data Request Memo, outlining the data needed to make the plan update compliant with Caltrans' Active Transportation Program (ATP) requirements. Project and Expenditure Review. Documenting successful projects completed between the 2011 plan update and the 2016 plan update can go a long way in inspiring enthusiasm among stakeholders. Alta will summarize annual bicycle and pedestrian expenditures in San Rafael and will illustrate recently completed projects per ATP requirements. Plan and Policy Review. Alta will review related plans, policies, and recent legislation. The review will help identify opportunities to incorporate bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure into transportation and larger planning efforts. This review will include the following: • MTC Regional Bicycle Plan for the San Francisco Bay Area • Marin County Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan • Novato, San Anselmo, and Larkspur Bicycle Plans • San Rafael Civic Center Station Area Plan • North San Rafael Vision Promenade Conceptual Plan The City will also describe the extent of existing bicycle programs in the City, including recreational programs and events run by the City.

Using City provided data, Alta will map existing bicycle facilities, support facilities (bicycle parking, showers, etc.), and Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update I Alta Planning + Design pedestrian facilities (including facilities at major transit hubs). In addition, Alta will summarize bicycle and pedestrian wayfinding and signage standards in Marin County, existing bicycle -and pedestrian programs (such as Safe Routes to Schools), and existing efforts to document and evaluate the success of bicycle and pedestrian projects. Deliverables: • Data request memo. • Up to four (4) maps of existing bicycle and pedes- trian facilities. • Technical memorandum summarizing relevant find- ings of up to 10 plans or other documents provided by the City, bicycle and pedestrian expenditures between 2011 and 2016, and existing bicycle and pedestrian conditions in San Rafael. Task 4. Needs Assessment Identifying needs is a critical step in any bicycle and pedestrian master plan process. Alta will examine both bicycle and pedestrian needs, paying specific atten- tion to active transportation needs for groups that are active transportation/transit dependent, for seniors, and for the disabled. Needs refer to both deficien- cies in the existing networks or infrastructure and to opportunities to improve those networks to increase walking and bicycling in San Rafael. Needs will be identified through a combination of public outreach, a review of land use and sociodemo- graphic patterns, existing and forecasted demand, and a safety analysis of existing and potential safety 1419311TW492111 Land Use Analysis. Alta will analyze existing and planned land use patterns to identify the most impor- tant corridors for future bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure. Demand, Equity, and Economic Benefits Analysis. Alta will conduct interrelated analyses to identify the potential for increased bicycling and walking in San Rafael, the location of Communities of Concern in San Rafael (per MTC guidelines), and existing economic benefits of current rates of bicycling and walking. Safety Analysis. Alta will perform a detailed anal- ysis of Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS) data for the past 10 years to identify and map individual streets and intersections experiencing 19 City of San Rafael I Alta Planning + Design SrrifvtriJlty AnvlysfS n*e2e ,. .. .a eonw.+ . �.�.. Alta's analysis tools will evaluate current and future walking and biking demand. high numbers of collisions involving bicyclists and pedestrians. Additionally, we will work with City staff and local stakeholders to identify high-risk intersec- tions, difficult grades, and areas with high stress for bicycling and walking, such as high-volume or high- speed roadways. Alta will prepare graphics to illustrate the locations of collisions and high -street roadways. Information derived from the collision analysis will be used to iden- tify specific locations for further review and proposed improvements. Community -Identified Issues. Using data received from the project website, BPAC meetings, and Public Workshop, Alta will organize and summarize the problem areas for bicycling and walking in San Rafael, including gaps in infrastructure, policy, and programs. 20 Deliverables: • Maps illustrating land use patterns, MTC's Communities of Concern within San Rafael, and bicycle- and pedestrian -involved collisions resulting in injuries or fatalities over the last ten years of avail- able data. • Technical memorandum summarizing the method and results of the needs analysis. Task 5. Recommended Network, Implementation, and Funding Strategies The core of the plan will be an identification of recom- mended projects and programs for future implemen- tation. This task will provide San Rafael with a list of projects, a method to prioritize projects, and identifi- cation of funding sources to support future projects. This Task will synthesize the information collected in Tasks 2, 3, and 4 to develop infrastructural and programmatic recommendations and a clear path forward for prioritization and implementation for the City to provide the most benefit to the most residents following plan adoption. Alta will work collaboratively with the City and BPAC to develop a recommended network that includes: • Bikeway, pedestrian and trail network improvements • Spot improvements • Future studies (signal timing, over/under cross- ings, trails, or other projects that will require further study) • Future projects (suggested routes to school maps, streetscape corridor plans, etc.) • Recommended programs that address education, encouragement, enforcement and evaluation Project Identification. The projects will be gathered from the analysis of existing conditions, the commu- nity survey, and any additional input gathered through the process. The projects will be organized by Plan goals and objectives, and will include information to support prioritization, including: • Demonstrated need (collisions, demand, commu- nity identified priorities) • Roadway type (arterial, collector, local) • Connectivity (connection to key activity centers) • Overcomes barriers Project Evaluation and Prioritization. The proposed projects will be evaluated using a qualitative process developed by the consultant team, with input from the BPAC and the public. Typical project evaluation criteria include: • Public Support: The public meetings and BPAC will be designed to best understand public priorities for investments in active transportation in San Rafael. • Safety: The project addresses safety concerns such as reported collisions. • Community Identified Improvement: The project is at a community identified challenge area. • Connectivity: The project improves or provides a connection to a key destination. • Transit Coordination: The project improves connec- tions to transit. • Feasibility/Cost Effectiveness: The project can be implemented within a one -to -five year time frame.
