File No.: P—M FOR CITY CLERK ONLY Council Meeting: Disposition: ���SoLU rc c21/�`2 SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 2 Point San Pedro Road Resurfacing The County of Marin administers Quarrying Permit #Q71-03 associated with the San Rafael Rock Quarry. The main trucking route to the quarry is along Point San Pedro Road, which has shown significant deterioration from heavy loads. Dutra Materials Inc. agreed to pay for a portion of the resurfacing of Point San Pedro Road as part of the mitigation measures associated with the quarry. Marin County Public Works took the lead in developing the design and managing the resurfacing of the roadway. Dutra donated 900 tons of Asphalt Concrete (AC) to the project. Based on a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between San Rafael and the County, the City contributed $650,000 which includes $25,000 contingency, to the project with the remaining cost supported by the County of Marin. As part of the MOU, the County designed, bid, managed and constructed the project on behalf of the City. The Point San Pedro project was referenced in the City's FY 12/13 and FY 13/14 Capital Improvement Program. The County's resurfacing plan for Point San Pedro Road included a Class II bike lane for most of the length of the roadway. All the aspects of the project, including the Class II bike lane, were discussed at a public meeting hosted by the County on May 21, 2013. During the design phase of the project, the City and the County discussed the extent of this bike lane, especially since it would travel in and out of City and County jurisdictions. Based on this review and feedback, the County of Marin designed and bid the project in March, 2014 and awarded the resurfacing contract to MCK Construction in the amount of $1,206,628. On April 7, 2014, the County of Marin held another public meeting to discuss the installation of the Class II bike lane. Approximately 40 people attended along with City staff. The County also solicited opinions from residents along the County section of the roadway. As a result, further modifications were made to the limits of the Class II bike lane within the County's jurisdiction. MCK started the project on May 16, 2014, and completed the actual resurfacing on July 14, 2014. Final striping began on July 28, 2014. The County has decided to proceed with striping the Class II/III bike lanes within their jurisdiction. Final striping within the City section is on hold as the Council deliberates this issue. Additional Communication and Outreach Since 2010, Public Works staff has worked very closely with neighborhood associations, coalitions and individual residents on Point San Pedro Road in relation to the Median Landscaping project, resurfacing, and private development projects. Very early in the Median Landscaping Project, we learned about the challenges associated with uniform and cohesive communication with all residents and homeowner's associations; there are more than 18 HOA's which have access to Point San Pedro Road. Opinions and suggestions were diverse. The Point San Pedro Road Coalition offered to serve as single point of contact to represent the residents and neighborhood associations. This partnership was extremely effective and resulted in a successful project in terms of time and budget. Public Works staff continued this partnership and communication for all projects and matters of interest to Point San Pedro residents. Ongoing communication with the Point San Pedro Road Coalition has been a highly effective way to exchange information on a regular basis, on a variety of projects. Some examples: • Point San Pedro Road Median Landscaping Assessment District formation and annual reports • Point San Pedro Road Median Landscaping Project design, architect selection, scope of work, public meetings and input on project design, and construction feedback • Post median landscaping project modifications SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 3 0 Point San Pedro Road Median Landscaping maintenance scope of work • The Village at Loch Lomond Marina • #2000 Point San Pedro Road single family housing development • Point San Pedro Road resurfacing project, parking restriction and bicycle facilities • Outreach and annual meetings • Third Street Congestion and Parking study between Embarcadero and Hetherton Street Based on these interactions with the Point San Pedro Road Coalition, City and County staff communicated their intent to install a Class II bike lane on Point San Pedro Road. On February 13, 2014, via an e-mail, the City and County received favorable comments from the Point San Pedro Road Coalition. On July 21, 2014 the City Council did hear from some residents in favor of the Class II bike lane on this road; however the majority of the comments were not in favor of the Class II bike lane which is contradictory to the support received from the Point San Pedro Road Coalition. Limits of the proposed Class H bike lane Several speakers at the July 21, 2014 Council meeting expressed concerns that the Class II bike lane would be excessive and that it should be discussed further. A Class II bike lane, which is a dedicated bike lane, will also limit on -street parking. Some residents stated that the reduction of on -street parking in front of their houses would negatively impact the use of their property. Class II and Class III Bike Lane (Exhibit B) There are three types of standard bike lanes utilized in municipal construction. A Class I bike lane is a bike path that is separated from the roadway by a minimum of a 4 foot buffer. A Class II bike lane is a dedicated bike lane, which is a minimum of 4 feet wide and is contiguous with the roadway. A Class III bike lane shares the road with vehicles. See Exhibit B for a schematic detail of each of these bike lanes. San Rafael General Plan 2020 & San Rafael Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan San Rafael General Plan 2020, adopted on November 15, 2004, and updated in 2011, identifies key policies associated with the installation of bike lanes within the City. Many of the items identified in the plan are directly linked to the installation of bike lanes. For instance, the installation of the bike lane encourages cycling and reduces vehicular traffic, which is part of Goal 16 ("Bikeways"). Reducing the number of vehicles on the roadway is also part of Goal 33 ("Clean Air and Waterways"). Installation of pathways also achieves Goal 13 ("Mobility for All Users") and further encourages alternative modes of transportation and healthier communities, whether the bike lane is used for recreational purposes or commuting. Many of the public speakers who addressed the City Council on July 21, 2014 noted these benefits. Per Goal 16 of San Rafael General Plan 2020, the San Rafael Bicycle/Pedestrian Master Plan was adopted by the City Council in 2002 and updated in 2011. Table 2-2 of the Bicycle/Pedestrian Master Plan in Chapter 2 states that all of the following actions are to be carried out at a staff level: 1. Where feasible, include planning and design of bicycle and pedestrian facilities as an integral part of the process for all transportation improvements. 2. Seek funding for bicycle projects through regional, state and federal funding programs. 3. Coordinate with multi jurisdictional planning and funding applications, and system integration when appropriate. SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Paye: 4 Table 5-2 of the Bicycle/Pedestrian Master Plan identifies Point San Pedro Road as a Class II bike lane. The City of San Rafael utilizes a multi -modal approach to all projects. While a simple drainage project may only require the replacement of a drainage culvert, our engineers also assess all modes of travel within a project area. We will upgrade existing curb ramps and other infrastructure to address as many issues as possible while construction crews are on site. For Point San Pedro Road, curb ramp improvements and the installation of other improvements fully complied with the City's Bicycle/Pedestrian Master Plan. As this project developed, staff saw an opportunity where feasible to improve the existing bicycle system by installing a Class II bike lane. The City also required the installation of updated curb ramps to improve pedestrian access. The goals in the General Plan and the Bicycle/Master Plan state clearly that this determination is to be carried out at a staff level. Proposed Class HBike Lane Limits (Exhibit Q During the initial public meetings held by the County in March 2013, and on April 2014, residents noted that they were concerned about restricting parking along several areas of Point San Pedro Road. The area fronting the field area next to Point San Pedro School, which is utilized heavily by parents picking up and dropping off students, was mentioned as one such area. City staff has also observed this parking condition in front of the school, and proposes to have this area remain a Class III bike lane on the south side of the road from the school entrance to the San Pedro Cove entrance. Several properties on the east -bound section of Point San Pedro Road from Bayview to Main Drive, which are in the County jurisdiction, lack sufficient off-street parking. Based on earlier comments from the Point San Pedro Road Coalition and residents at the public meetings in March 2013 and April 2014, the County has installed a Class III bike lane (shared bike lane) in this area. In addition, the area in front of San Rafael High School from Union to Mooring, fronted by a number of businesses and establishments, relies heavily on on -street parking for their customers. This area is proposed to remain a Class III bike lane, shared by cyclists and motorists. On August 6, 2014, City Public Works staff met with the Principal of San Pedro Elementary School to discuss the removal of on -street parking for installation of Class II bike lanes on Point San Pedro Road. In general, the Principal feels that there is a high demand for on -street parking and that it should remain on both sides of Point San Pedro Road between Lochinvar Road and Bay Way. The Principal is concerned that the 540 students and 50-60 staff members that attend the school daily will have no choice but to park within the Loch Lomond neighborhood during drop off and pick up times. She also mentioned that the school district plans to increase enrollment to 690 students within a two year period. The majority of students who attend San Pedro Elementary School live outside the area and utilize bus service or are driven to the school. In addition to daily parking, the Principal is concerned about impacts caused by special events such as back to school night, little league, etc. where the demand for parking is even higher. Over the past several years, the Public Works Department has been monitoring the area in front of San Pedro School and has not noticed a demand for parking in front of the school that would N\ arrant removal of the bike lane on the north side of the road or expansion of the current limits shown on Exhibit C. During special events, the Department of Public Works will work with the school to provide temporary on -street parking on Point San Pedro Road to minimize parking impacts to the adjacent Loch Lomond Neighborhood. On -Street Parkin6 fronting the Village at Loch Lomond Marina Several members of the public have asserted that installing the Class II bike lane in front of the Village at Loch Lomond contradicts the original conditions of project approval. They expressed concerns that there SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 5 will be insufficient parking on the Village at Loch Lomond site, resulting in the need to retain or supplement parking for the site by providing additional parking on Point San Pedro Road or even in adjacent communities. The Village at Loch Lomond — Conditions of Approval Exhibit D, a memo from Community Development Director Paul Jensen, provides additional history and background on the parking issues that were addressed prior to the ultimate City approval of the Village at Loch Lomond project (Village). The memo addresses the history of the Village development, the parking studies prepared for the project, and the parking requirements imposed in the August 6, 2007 approval of the project by City Council Resolution No. 12332. Of relevance and importance is Environmental and Design Review Permit (ED04-063) Finding 5f in Resolution 12332, which states: The project as revised has been designed to provide adequate onsite parking by either meeting the minimum City -adopted municipal code requirements for parking or providing adequate parking to meet peak use period demands. As conditioned, the parking for the marina and recreation use areas, which is based on peak use period demand would be monitored and contingency measures are in place (parking reserve) in the event additional parking is warranted. Further, Master Use Permit (UP04-007) Condition 7a in Resolution 12332 confirms the following marina use parking for the Village project, which was focus of the parking studies: A total of 259 vehicle parking spaces and 27 vehicle + trailer parking spaces (35 spaces proposed) are required as presented on the approved development plan. The parking plan also includes an approved `parking reserve' (landscaping that can be converted to parking and a `landscape reserve' (parking that can be converted to landscaping) for future use. This Design Review Permit finding and Use Permit condition confirm that there is sufficient parking on site, with the option of additional reserve parking if needed. Please note that the parking demand study that was prepared for the Village project was commissioned to determine adequate parking need for the marina and supportive/ancillary marina uses. The residential and neighborhood commercial (grocery store) components of the Village project comply with the City parking code requirements. As explained in Exhibit D, overflow parking onto City streets was not factored into the parking study completed for the Village development, thus the study's conclusions and recommendations did not rely upon the extent of available on -street parking along Point San Pedro Road. The conditions alleged to be violated by the decision to implement the Class II bike lane are conditions of the Master Use Permit for the project. Master Use Permit Condition 7f requires the preparation of an updated parking study two years after completion and occupancy of the project. Condition 7f contains remedial actions to be taken to increase or decrease the on-site parking depending upon the results of the study, including the conversion of the required landscape reserve to parking on site. In addition, Master Use Permit (liPO4-007) Condition 7g requires a study of on -street parking use along the Point San Pedro Road property frontage: The updated parking study required in 7f above shall also assess the extent of on -street parking use along the Point San Pedro Road property frontage with the current Class III bicycle route (route shared with vehicle travel lane and parking lane). In the event the SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 6 updated parking study determines that the on -street parking demand is low, the City may proceed with implementing a Class H bicycle lane along the property frontage. It is important to note the clarification in Mr. Jensen's memo (Exhibit D) that Condition 7g is applicable to the Point San Pedro Road frontage of the Village at Loch Lomond prope only, not any other portion of Point San Pedro Road. The conditions of approval cannot and do not place requirements on the developer to modify or study other frontages adjacent to the development. There have been no changes to the Village project since the City approvals in August 2007. The scope and type of land uses that were approved have not changed. The project approvals for the Village have been vested and the City has no discretion to revise or add conditions or requirements to this development, except those requirements set forth in Resolution 12332. The City Attorney has reviewed Resolution No. 12332 and has determined that its conditions will not be violated if the City proceeds at this time to install a Class II bike lane on the Point San Pedro Road frontage of the Village at Loch Lomond Marina. The bike lane will not prevent or void the condition for preparation of an updated parking study by the project developer, nor will it prevent further action by the City Council to return the bike lane to a Class III bike lane should the Council determine that to be necessary. Nothing in Resolution No. 12332 was meant to, or legally does, prohibit the City from undertaking a public project to implement the City's Bicycle Master Plan, along the project frontage or elsewhere. The Class II bike lane fronting the Village at Loch Lomond Marina was discussed at the City/San Rafael Federation Coalition of Neighborhoods meeting on June 25, 2014. Based on comments received from the residents, staff modified the design and proposed to maintain the Class III bike lane from San Pedro School field to Main Drive. This has been referred to as a "compromise" solution to meet the intent of the bike plan yet allaying community concerns in this area. ANALYSIS: The resurfacing of Point San Pedro Road has given the City an opportunity to further improve the roadway by adding Class II bike lanes within the City's jurisdiction. This bike lane complies with policies and direction given to staff in General Plan 2020 as well the 2011 San Rafael Bicycle/ Pedestrian Master Plan. Limits of the proposed Class H bike lane Staff recommends the installation of a Class II bike lane along Point San Pedro Road from Union Street to the City limits with the exception of the following locations which should be maintained as a Class III (shared) bike lane: From To Descri tion Union Street City/County Limit near Reinstall Class III Mooring bike lane on both sides of Third Street/Point San Pedro Road Point San Pedro San Pedro Cove Entrance Reinstall Class III School Entrance bike lane on south side of the street Point San Pedro The City limits east of the Reinstall Class III Cove Entrance Village at Loch Lomond bike lane on south Marina side of the street City staff has complied with the San Rafael General Plan and the San Rafael Bicycle/Pedestrian Master plan by coordinating with the County of Marin and implementing improvements. SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Page: 7 Exhibit C which is a general plan for the striping also delineates the areas within the County where they have chosen to stripe the roadway as a Class II and a Class III bike lane. During the City Council meeting, the public voiced concerns about vehicle speed, large truck traffic and the safety of the cyclists. Point San Pedro Road is currently utilized by recreational cyclists, commuters and members of the public. Sharing the road with live traffic while looking to see if a parked vehicle will open its door or exit a parking space without identifying a cyclist is certainly a concern. Installing a bike lane may not impact vehicle speed. However, even a limited dedicated bike facility should reduce the risk of accidents. FISCAL IMPACT: Delaying the striping until this meeting will cost the City at least $6,000 in contractor remobilization expenses ACTION REQUIRED: 1. Adopt the resolution approving and confirming staff's decision to install Class II bike lanes along Point San Pedro Road, per Exhibit C. Staff recommends this option. 2. Do not install Class II bike facility and direct staff to maintain the existing Class III bike lane. Staff does not recommend this option because it does not comply with the San Rafael Bicycle/Pedestrian Master Plan. 3. Modify the resolution and change the limits of the Class II bike lane to install "No Parking" signs on the North side of Point San Pedro Road from Bayview Drive to Manderly Road. All other sections of the roadway shall be installed per Exhibit C. This option is also supported by staff.

Although there are many other communications, e-mails, phone calls and relevant documents associated with this subject, the items listed below are intended to provide a brief history to be attached the City Council Report on this subject. 1998 The City of San Rafael formed the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee. 1999 The Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee and City staff initiated the preparation of the San Rafael Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. February 2002 The San Rafael City Council adopted the Bicycle Pedestrian Plan — Final Report. The report identifies Point San Pedro as a proposed East-West Bike Route and shows Point San Pedro Road as a Class II/IH Bike Route. The segment of Point San Pedro from North San Pedro Road to Third Street is identified in the report as a priority "A." Priority "A" projects were to be addressed in the first year following adoption of the bike plan. This document identifies policy actions in Objective B, which states that staff is responsible for the following: 1. Where feasible, include planning and design of bicycle and pedestrian facilities as an integral part of the process for all transportation improvements. 2. Seek funding for bicycle projects through regional, state and federal funding programs. 3. Coordinate with multi jurisdictional planning, funding applications and system integration when appropriate. 2002 to Present San Rafael Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Committee generally meets biannually to discuss active bicycle/pedestrian projects within the City. These meetings are open to the public. November 2006 The Central Marin Countywide Bicycle Master Plan is developed in three workshops in San Rafael to improve cohesion and connectivity of the bicycle and pedestrian network in the City and to address the goals of the Non -Motorized Transportation Pilot Program (NTPP). Marin County is one of four communities nationwide selected by Congress to participate in the NTPP and to receive $25 million for improvements to walkways and bicycle facilities.

She also noted that they host large events during which street parking is essential. At this time, the principal was not aware of any expansion of the parking at this site to accommodate any increase in enrollment. Exhibit A Chronology EXHIBIT B BICYCLE LANE DESIGNATION REFERENCED FROM THE SAN RAFAEL BICYCLE/PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN Class I Bicycle Facility: Referred to as a bicycle path. It provides for two-way bicycle travel on a paved right-of-way completely separated from any street or highway. These are described in Section 1003.1 of the Caltrans Highway Design Manual. Class II Bicycle Facility: Referred to as a bicycle lane. It provides a striped and stenciled lane for one-way travel on a street or highway. These are described in Section 1003.2 of the Caltrans Highway Design Manual. Class III Bicycle Facility: Referred to as a bicycle route.

Of particular interest is the relationship of the Village development parking requirements (including the requirement for a post -development parking study) with the Point San Pedro Road bicycle route classification that was in-place at the time of project approval (2007). I reviewed the parking studies prepared for the Village development including the Village at Loch Lomond Marina Final Environmental Impact Report (Final EIR), and the numerous staff reports prepared for public hearings on the project. All of these documents were prepared to support the City Council's August 7, 2007 action to adopt Resolution 12332. This resolution approves (among others) the Master Use Permit for the Village development (UP04-007), which includes condition 7. Master Use Permit Condition 7 requires monitoring of on-site parking and a post -development parking study. This condition is presented under Summary & Facts, below. This memorandum is formatted into two sections: a) Summary of Facts & Findings; and b) History and Background. The former section summarizes the key points and findings which are critical to responding to your request. The latter section provides more detailed facts on the Village project history and background to support the summary of facts and findings. SUMMARY OF FACTS & FINDINGS ➢ San Rafael General Plan Neighborhood Element Policy NH-118a(d) specifically requires that a parking analysis be prepared for the Loch Lomond marina site. The purpose of the analysis is to establish adequate parking requirements for the development of the site with mixed-use. The Village development parking requirements for the marina and marina support facilities were based on parking demand analyses (parking accumulation studies). However, the City municipal code requirements for off-street parking were used for the residential and neighborhood commercial components of the project. EXHIBIT D - CDD MEMO ➢ Two parking studies were conducted for the Village project. The first parking study was commissioned by the developer and prepared by W -Trans, transportation engineers. The W - Trans study was structured to focus on shared parking within the marina site. An independent parking study was commissioned by the City for the preparation of the project EIR. The independent study was conducted by Kimley-Horn Associates, Inc. (KHA), transportation engineers (2004-2007). The KHA study focused on studying parking demand and parking use at other similar marinas. Note: A separate, two-year assessment of dry dock boat storage use was completed by City staff, which found that the storage use activity and demand is very low. During this review period, it was determined that many of the boats stored were unregistered or inoperable. ➢ As proposed and approved, the on-site parking for the residential (81 units) and neighborhood commercial use (grocery store and commercial space = 22,250 square feet) components of the Village development meet or exceed the City Code requirements (collective surplus of 54 spaces). As proposed and approved, the 12 parking spaces provided for the publicly -accessible park (marina green, jetties and breakwater) were deemed to be adequate by KHA. The adequacy of this parking was based on a survey of parking supply and use in other City parks. The approved parking for the marina and marina support services does not meet City parking requirement (3 spaces/4 berths + parking required for each marina support services use). However, the City parking requirement for a marina use is excessive and does not reflect the true parking demand for a marina use. A strict application of the parking code would require 427 spaces. Based on the findings of the parking studies, this use component of the project was proposed and approved with 294 spaces (259 spaces + 27 day -use vehicle + trailer spaces 16 dry dock boat storage spaces with potential conversion to day -use vehicle + trailer spaces). KHA determined that the proposed parking would meet peak demand for the marina and marina support uses. The difference between the parking code requirement and the determined parking demand is 133 spaces. KHA reported that overflow parking onto City streets was not factored into the demand analysis and no reliance of on -street parking along Point San Pedro Road or beyond was considered in the recommendations for the parking study. However, given the proximity and orientation of proposed residential units fronting Point San Pedro Road, use of on -street parking would occur because of convenience (source: Planning Commission staff report, 5/8/2007) ➢ As a safeguard, KHA recommended: a) a post -development study of marina parking (not applicable to residential or neighborhood commercial as these use elements meet or exceed the code requirements); and b) inclusion of a "parking reserve" area to accommodate any additional spaces if, after study, it is determined to be needed (29 spaces designated on plan) and a "landscape reserve" for parking found to be unnecessary (26 spaces designated on plan). The post -development parking study was incorporated as Master Use Permit condition 7 in Resolution 12332, which is presented below. The consideration to require a Class II bicycle lane along the property frontage surfaced late in the Village review process and was first discussed by the Planning Commission in 5/2007 (following the completion of the project EIR and parking demand studies). The 5/8/2007 Planning Commission staff report summarizes the Class II/III bicycle route issue, which is discussed in detail in the following History and Background section of this memo. Ultimately, the Village project was approved to maintain the current Class III route (shared with travel lane and maintaining on -street parking) along the property frontage of Point San Pedro Road, but included a requirement to review the on -street parking use and demand along this street frontage as part of the post development parking study (Master Use Permit condition 7. See condition 7g below, which states: "In the event the updated parking study determines that the on -street parking demand is low, the City may proceed with implementing a Class II bicycle lane along the entire property frontage." This condition is applicable to the property frontage along Point San Pedro Road only. This condition is not applicable to the on -street parking along any other segments along Point San Pedro Road. City Council approved Village project in 8/2007. City Council Resolution 12332, Use Permit (UP04-007) includes condition 7, which reads as follows: 7. This Master Use Permit is approved subject to monitoring on-site parking for marina and recreation uses and on -street parking along the Point San Pedro Road property frontage. On-site parking for the marina and recreation uses (Area A 1 & 2) is authorized based on peak parking demand and shall be subject to the following conditions and monitoring requirements: a. A total of 259 vehicle parking spaces and 27 vehicle + trailer parking spaces (35 spaces proposed) are required as presented on the approved Development Plan. The parking plan also includes and approves a 'parking reserve' (landscaping that can be converted to parking) and a 'landscape reserve' (parking that can be converted to landscaping) for future use. b. Twelve(12) of the total vehicle parking spaces shall be marked and reserved for public use of the shoreline, recreation and park facilities during daytime hours (dawn to dusk). Of the 12 spaces, four (4) shall be designated on the west spit, five (5) shall be designated on the east spit and three (3) shall be designated shall be designated at the southern terminus of the marina parking lot (entrance top breakwater). Signs shall be placed at these locations designating public use of these parking spaces during the daytime hours. c. The 52 liveaboards berth tenants shall be provided assigned parking at a ratio of one parking space per berth. The assigned spaces shall be distributed throughout the site at points closest to the access to docks. d. The Use Permit approves the use of eight (8) of the 35 vehicle + trailer parking spaces in the marina day use parking lot (presented on the Development Plan) for 16 dry dock boat storage spaces rented on a month-to-month basis. Per condition 7.f. below, the dry dock boat storage shall be monitored with the marina parking and may be phased out should the demand for vehicle + trailer day use parking exceed 27 spaces. e. The marina operator shall implement a valet parking program or similar parking management program for vehicle + trailer day use parking during peak use days (summer holidays). The valet parking program shall be submitted to the City prior to the issuance of a building permit. While it is not expected that peak demand will exceed 27 vehicle + trailer spaces for marina use, the program is required as a 3 contingency measure. If valet parking is implemented, all parking shall be accommodated on-site. f. Two (2) years following completion and occupancy of the project (build -out), an updated parking study shall be prepared and submitted to the City. The updated parking study shall be prepared by a licensed Traffic Engineer approved by the City and funded by the project sponsor or the project Owners' Association to assess marina and recreation parking demand. The updated parking study shall be submitted to the Community Development Department for review and shall include the following actions: 1) In the event the parking demand report finds that additional parking is recommended to meet increased demand, the City shall require the implementation of the 'parking reserve.' 2) In the event demand is less than supply, the City may consider allowing the implantation of the 'landscape reserve.' 3) In the event the parking demand report finds that the demand for marina day use vehicle + trailer parking exceeds the 27 spaces that are provided, the 16 dry dock boat storage spaces shall be considered for conversion to eight (8) vehicle + trailer spaces. g. The updated parking study required in 7,f above shall also assess the extent of on - street parking use along the Point San Pedro Road property frontage with the current Class 111 bicycle route (route shared with vehicle travel lane and parking lane). In the event the updated parking study determines that the on -street parking demand is low, the City may proceed with implementing a Class 11 bicycle lane along the entire property frontage. h. If, at any time, project -generated parking is occurring on residential streets outside the project boundary, other than on Point San Pedro Road, the Community Development Director may require: 1) modifications to the enforcement activities by the Owners' Association; or 2) initiation of the updated parking study and consideration of on-site parking modifications by the City Council. HISTORY AND BACKGROUND San Rafael General Plan 2020- Program NH -118a In 2004, the City adopted the San Rafael General Plan 2020. Included in the Neighborhood Element of the General Plan is Policy NH -118, which specifically addresses the Loch Lomond Marina site. Policy NH -118 and accompanying Programs NH -118a — c set forth specific land use and design recommendations for property redevelopment. Program NH -118a addresses specific design and review measures that are to be followed for site development. NH-118a(d) presents the following measure that is specific to the review of parking for a mixed-use development on this site: d. Require a mixed use parking analysis to establish adequate parking requirements. Given that the General Plan recommends retaining the marina and marina support services, along with new neighborhood commercial, residential uses and publicly -accessible park area (mixed-use), this program was intended to determine parking adequacy and need through a parking analysis. 4 W -Trans Parking Study Prepared for Village Development Application Following the 2004 adoption of the San Rafael General Plan 2020, development applications were filed for the Village at Loch Lomond Marina (late 2004). This application included the submittal of a parking study prepared by W -Trans, transportation engineers, which was commissioned by the property owner. The parking study is included in the Traffic Impact Study for the Loch Lomond Marina Mixed -Use- Updated Report, dated April 6, 2005. This study is available in project EIR, Volume Il, Appendix C of the Village at Loch Lomond Marina Final EIR (February 2006). The W -Trans parking study utilized the Urban Land Institute Guidelines for assessing parking demand in mixed-use developments, which included a review of 'shared' parking. W -Trans completed parking counts at the marina site, Hourly parking counts were accumulated over weekdays, Saturday and a holiday weekend (Memorial Day) during one season. The parking counts were taken for each land use at the marina site from 6:00am to noon. Parking demand was calculated for each hour to determine peak parking demand. Based on the accumulation studies, W -Trans determined that the peak parking demand for the whole project (all uses collectively), at project build -out is 531 parking spaces. As approved (August 2007), the project proposes 618 parking spaces, which exceeds the demand determined by W -Trans. Kimley-Horn & Associates (KHA) Parking Studies Prepared for Project EIR Initially, a peer review of the W -Trans study was to be conducted by the City for the project EIR. However, during the EIR scoping process, the City determined that it would be prudent to hire a traffic engineering consultant to conduct an independent parking demand study for the project for the following reasons: 1. The W -Trans study of parking demand focused on 'shared' parking among the mix of land uses within the development. The independent study would focus assessment of parking needs by individual land use. 2. Independent parking counts should be conducted for a more extended period of time (varying seasons and peak periods) to confirm the counts documented by W -Trans. 3. The findings of the two independent parking studies were to be compared and incorporated into the project EIR. Kimley-Horn & Associates (KHA), transportation engineers was hired to conduct the parking assessment for the Village project EIR. The parking study prepared by KHA provides an analysis and presents recommendations based on the premise that all parking would be provided on the project site. As noted, no reliance of on -street parking along Point San Pedro Road was considered in the recommendations for this parking study. The scope of the parking study is summarized as follows: • KHA recommended that the residential and neighborhood commercial use components of the project be designed to meet City parking code requirements. 5 For the marina and supportive marina uses (e.g., bait shop, harbormaster's office, boat repair, yacht club), KHA recommended the assessment of parking demand as the City code requirement is excessive and does not reflect true or actual marina parking demand and use. The City's parking requirement for a marina use is three parking spaces for every four marina berths, plus parking calculated and required for each supportive marina use. The base parking requirement for berths assumes that the parking need at any one given time is three parking spaces for every four berths, which likely never occurs. Similar to the W -Trans study, the KHA parking demand study for the marina and supportive marina uses was based on surveys and daily parking counts taken at the marina site over a 2.5 -year period (parking accumulation study), particularly focusing on the summer season and summer holidays when marina use is at its peak. The daily count totals for parking use at the marina ranged from 45-257 spaces collected by KHA. Other parking count sources were documented in the EIR (counts from W -Trans, City staff and Point San Pedro Road Coalition) showing a range of present parking use from 124-337 spaces (source: Final EIR, Table 3.4-13). KHA also incorporated parking study findings from surveys of other similar/comparable marinas. Based on the collective 2.5 -years of parking counts and an assessment of other marinas, KHA found that: a. The marina parking exceeds peak demand periods of summer weekend use, which are 231 spaces at 85% marina occupancy and 244 spaces at 100% marina occupancy. b. The highest demand and use of marina parking is by liveaboards (there are 52 liveaboards at the Loch Lomond Marina). c. The average demand for marina day -use vehicle + trailer parking is 27 spaces. As reported to the Planning Commission on April 24, 2006, the neighborhood commercial and residential use components of the project meet or exceed the minimum parking requirements set forth in the San Rafael Municipal Code. While marina and recreation uses parking is based on the results of the parking demand study, the provisions of a "parking reserve" provide a contingency measure for adding 25 spaces if it is deemed necessary. For these reasons, KHA concluded that overflow parking is not likely to occur on Point San Pedro Road. However, KHA reported that given the proximity and orientation of the proposed residential units fronting Point San Pedro Road, use of on -street parking would occur because of convenience. Regarding the publicly -accessible park area within the development, the City's municipal code does not include a parking requirement for public park land use. KHA reported that the Institute of Transportation Engineers, Parking Generation 3rd Edition contains only one category for park use. This park use category reflects larger, community -sized parks with active recreation areas with playing fields for organized sports. KHA determined that this parking requirement was appropriate for smaller, neighborhood parks with less active recreation improvements (e.g., children's play equipment, picnic areas). For this reason, a parking survey 0 was conducted of the City parks with recreation uses and improvements similar to the publicly - accessible park improvements in the Village development. Eleven Bay Are local jurisdictions were polled (October 2006) and none have an adopted parking standard for parks. KHA recommended a parking standard of 4.5-5.0 parking spaces per acre of park land, which is the amount of parking provided for the three -acre Redwood Village Park in North San Rafael. A parking demand survey of similar neighborhood parks in San Rafael was conducted to determine parking usage (November 2006). Based on the findings of the survey, the 12 -parking spaces designated for the park area within the Village development was determined to be adequate. As discussed above, the parking study prepared by KHA provides an analysis and presents recommendations based on the premise that all parking would be provided on the project site. Overflow parking onto City streets was not factored into the demand analysis and no reliance of on -street parking along Point San Pedro Road was considered in the recommendations for this parking study. Public Review Process for Village Project The Village development project was subject to a very lengthy and comprehensive public review process that spanned over three years. Twenty-five public hearings and meetings were held, which included numerous Planning Commission study sessions focusing on specific project topics and issues of community interest (including parking and dry dock boat storage). During the review process, a lot of attention was given to this issue for several reasons: a) the Village development is comprised of a mix of land uses with differing parking requirements and parking demands; b) while most of the project complies with the City parking standards, the parking proposed for the marina and marina support uses was based on parking demand studies rather than a rigid code requirement; and c) the community residents were concerned that the proposed parking for the Village is inadequate and there would likely be parking spillover into the adjacent neighborhoods (specifically, Loch Lomond). As a result of the comments from the Planning Commission workshop, KHA completed some additional analysis of parking demand for the marina use. The parking studies and a detailed assessment of parking were included in the four -volume Village at Loch Lomond Marina Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR), February 2006. Over the course of 2.5 years, two, independent parking studies were conducted by licensed traffic engineers. Ultimately, the EIR reported that the traffic engineers determined that the project would result in less -than -significant parking impacts. No special mitigation measures were required in the EIR in that the project: a) meets the parking requirements set forth in the San Rafael Municipal Code for the residential, neighborhood commercial and grocery store/market land uses; and b) the marina use and recreation meet the parking demand for peak use periods. Nonetheless, the project sponsor agreed to the precautionary requirement to conduct a post -development parking study (specified in Resolution 12331. Further, the project sponsor proposed and committed to impose a parking valet plan for marina day use in the event that additional parking was warranted over and above the use of the parking reserve. During the three-year project review process, the Planning Commission conducted special study sessions on specific project topics including parking (10/2006) and dry dock boat storage (5/2006). At the study session on parking, the Planning Commission supported significantly 7 reducing or eliminating dry dock boat storage to increase amount of marina and day use parking (vehicle + trailer parking). Planning Commission found that dry dock boat storage was not the highest and best use for redevelopment of the marina site. Approved Parking for Village Development In August 2007, the City Council approved the Village at Loch Lomond Marina development project (Village). The City approvals grant the development of: a) 81 residential units; b) 22,000+ square feet of neighborhood commercial use (including a new grocery store); and c) a publicly -accessible marina green and shoreline park. Further, the approvals grant the continued operation of and improvements to the 517 -berth marina along with marina support services. The following table presents the proposed and approved parking along with the parking study findings: Approved Land Use Propasedl/Appraved Parking. Parking study Findings Residential (81 units) 218 (2 spaces/unit + 56 guest Exceeds City parking code spaces) standard Grocery Store/ 95 spaces Exceeds City parking code Neighborhood Commercial standard Recreation 12 spaces Meets parking demand (publicly -accessible park) based on City park study Marina and marina support 294 spaces+ Meets parking demand for uses (boat repair, yacht club, peak time marina use++ harbormaster's office) Total parking on-site parking 619 spaces+++ spaces + 294 total parking spaces includes 259 parking spaces 52 designated for liveaboard berths), 35 vehicle + trailers day use spaces and 16 dry dock boat storages spaces; 52 designated liveaboard berth parking spaces ++ City parking code would require 427 parking spaces (3 spaces/4 berths + parking required for each supportive marina use) +++ "Parking Reserve" could add 29 spaces; "Landscape Reserve" could delete 26 spaces There have been no changes to the Village project since City approvals in 8/2007. The scope and type of land uses that were approved have not changed. However, since 2007, a Mello - Roos Assessment District has been formed to fund the maintenance of the publicly -accessible park and the Final Subdivision Map for the first phase of development has been recorded with the County of Marin. Site grading is underway. Relationship to Point San Pedro Road Bicycle Route As you are aware, at the time the Village development project was in process (2004-2007), the 2002 -adopted City of San Rafael Bicycle/Pedestrian Master Plan was in effect. This 2002 plan designated Point San Pedro Road as a Class II/III bicycle route. The consideration to require a Class II bicycle lane along the property frontage was first discussed by the Planning Commission (5/2007), following the completion of the project EIR and parking demand studies. The request for the City to require the Village development to install I a Class II bicycle lane along the Point San Pedro Road property frontage was made by the Marin bicycle advocates. The report to Planning Commission (source: Planning Commission staff report dated 5/8/2007) summarizes the Class II bicycle lane issue and presents following facts, findings and recommendations from KHA and City staff: • The Village property frontage width along Point San Pedro Road can accommodate up to 50 parallel parking spaces; parking would be eliminated if a Class II bicycle lane is striped. • If a Class II lane is implemented, any overflow of parking from project site could occur on the north side of Point San Pedro Road, which would be the next closest area available for on -street parking. • KHA reported that people will generally walk a distance of 500 feet from the parking to the point of destination. However, KHA qualified that as Point San Pedro Road is a wide, busy street, it creates a barrier/constraint that would deter marina visitors from parking on the north side of the street and beyond. • The Village project can be conditioned to require the project sponsor to install a Class II lane along the Point San Pedro Road property frontage only within the existing public right-of- way. The City's authority and ability to exact this improvement from the property owner is set forth in the City's Subdivision ordinance (requirements for street frontage improvements). Requiring a Class II lane along other segments of Point San Pedro Road is beyond authority of City's exaction powers, unless it is determined that the project creates a nexus for such an improvement. The staff report acknowledged that at that time (2007), a detailed study of the Point San Pedro Road corridor is necessary to determine the impacts of on -street parking and available road right-of-way to accommodate a Class II bicycle lane. It was reported that such a study would need to be commissioned by and coordinated between the City and County. Report also notes that a Class II lane is good along this corridor because: a) the road is fairly wide and divided and that the majority of the development along this corridor is low density residential and accessed from other streets; and b) on -street parking is rarely used because many of the residential areas do not front Point San Pedro Road, with exceptions such as San Pedro Elementary School and several residential areas (e.g., Bayside Acres/Pigeon Point). Since the 2007 City approvals for the Village development, the City adopted an update of the City of San Rafael Bicycle/Pedestrian Master Plan (2011). This updated master plan designates Point San Pedro Road as a "Existing Class III/Proposed Class II Bikeway (Class II where feasible)." 9 Sources: Village at Loch Lomond Marina Final Environmental Impact Report (certified August 2007), which includes: Traffic Impact Study for Loch Lomond Marina Mixed Use- Updated Report, April 6, 2005; W - Trans The Parking Analysis for the Village at Loch Lomond Marina, KHA; June 2005 and updates for Final EIR, February 2007 Planning Commission Staff Report, October 24, 2006 (workshop on Village development parking) Project Chronology/Summary, April 2007 Planning Commission Staff Report, April 24, 2007 Planning Commission Staff Report, May 8, 2007 City Council Staff Report, July 16, 2007 Lchlmnd,prkng memo 8 5 14 10 RESOLUTION NO.

Loch Lomond greatly appreciates the City Council's decision to reconsider its direction on the Project and to convene a special meeting to arrive at a resolution. First, as the members of Loch Lomond have previously told the City, Loch Lomond has no objection to better bicycle planning and safety on Pt. San Pedro Road. However, the Loch Lomond community urges the City to not reverse the City Council's clear commitment to Loch Lomond to prepare a parking study before restriping Point San Pedro Road. Instead, my client urges your Council to maintain the agreed upon commitment by your Council, which will result in both a better planned bike lane and a project which has buy -in from the community. In a meeting on August 12, 2014, Public Works Director Nader Mansourian proposed a solution that we believe would meet all parties' concerns regarding the Project. In brief, the proposal is to allow parking on the south side of Pt. San Pedro Road and to establish a de facto Class II bike lane on the north side by establishing a "No Parking" zone. Permitted event parking would provide flexibility. After occupancy of the Marina development project, the City could work with the developer to require the parking study if the City staff found that parking issues were indeed arising. Loch Lomond supports this logical proposal from City staff and urges the City Council to adopt it. 1. Approval of the restriping would constitute a breach of the City's 2007 Commitment to Loch Lomond During project planning for the Marina development project, Loch Lomond pointed out deficiencies in the Marina project EIR and parking studies.1 Loch Lomond believes the Marina development project 1 Loch Lomond pointed out several inaccuracies in those studies in 2007. For instance, a quick review of the CEQA analysis and development project findings shows the EIR's analysis was based on the assumption that a certain amount of residential parking would be provided yet the Conditions of Approval do not include that condition. will have inadequate parking and many Loch Lomond residents have separately calculated that potentially 300 hundred Marina development residents and recreational users will need to park outside the Marina. Loch Lomond believes both sides of Pt. San Pedro Road will be needed to accommodate this overflow parking. Because of these potential impacts, Loch Lomond has been relying on the City to honor its 2007 commitment to not install a Class II bike lane on Pt. San Pedro Road until a parking study has been prepared. (See Condition of Approval 7(f) for Marina Development Project Master Use Permit, Resolution 12332, Master Use Permit, p. 18 ) One may view the study as simply a mitigation measure for the project. However, the record — the Staff Report and the Environmental Impact Report - show that the City contended that there was adequate parking and that the Project would cause no parking impacts on Point San Pedro Road or Loch Lomond. (Resolution 12330, CECW Findings, p. 8, Impact 3.4- 5.) Thus, the City's reason for approving Condition 7(f) was not to mitigate the impacts but instead was an effort by the City to avoid litigation and offer a settlement agreement condition to benefit Loch Lomond. In our meeting on August 12, City Planning Director Jensen's explanation of the history of the Marina development project confirmed this. Despite this promise and Loch Lomond's continuing concern, the City has proposed not fulfilling its promise to Loch Lomond to not stripe the Road until a study was prepared. As I understand it, in 2011, the City adopted the Master Bicycle Plan, which provided for a Class II bicycle lane on Pt. San Pedro Road. What that meant was the City Council had approved two competing, inconsistent policies regarding this issue, one to wait to study the issue and the other to quickly restripe the road. To Loch Lomond, approval of the restriping would mean the City Council is unilaterally reversing its agreement with Loch Lomond and not carrying out its commitment to the community. If the City meant to reverse its commitment made to Loch Lomond, it should have convened a fully noticed and transparent hearing to amend Resolution 12332. It did not do so. Despite the existence of Resolution 12332, a review of the City's entire Pt. San Pedro Road project file showed little consideration of the potential parking issues of the Project when the Master Bike Plan was approved four years later. Why does this matter? One reason is that restriping Pt. San Pedro Road will preclude any usefulness of the Condition of Approval and the promised parking study. Once the infrastructure investment has been made and the restriping accomplished, any promised parking study will have little utility as it is unlikely the City would reverse course after establishing a Class II bike lane. Again, the reason for the bike study condition of approval was that the City mollified Loch Lomond by promising that the Study would be done before restriping was done. This path still makes sense. Fulfilling the commitment to Loch Lomond as Mr. Mansourian has suggested allows the City to meet its commitments and meet its policy of improved bicycle safety. Another example of the inadequacy of the parking analysis was the conclusion in the Planning Commission Staff Report that elimination of parking on San Pedro would not cause parking impacts because overflow parking would not occur on San Pedro Road. Yet the very next sentence acknowledges that this assumption is wrong because "use of on street parking would occur because of convenience." (Planning Commission Staff Report, 5-8-2007, p. 14.) Thus, the City's own conclusions regarding overflow parking contradict the assumptions of the traffic study. OA 2. The City has not complied with CEQA and thus, may not move ahead with the Proiect The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires that a municipality must consider the environmental impacts of any project before it approves a project. (California Public Resources Code § 21000 et seq.) The record shows, however, that neither the City nor the County completed the required CEQA compliance previous to the decisions that have led to the project. The City has not prepared any CEQA documentation for the project but contends that as a responsible agency it may rely on the lead agency's (Marin County) Notice of Exemption (NOE) for the project. However, the March 24 NOE was filed by the County after the City Council approved the MOU on February18. Thus, that NOE cannot be used for CEQA compliance for the City's earlier decision to approve the Project because NOEs prepared prior to decisions are not valid under CEQA. ( See, e.g., CEQA Guidelines § 15062(b); Coalition for Clean Air v. City of Visalia (2012) 209 Cal.App.4th 408 - NOE filed before project approval is invalid and does not trigger the running of the applicable limitations period).2 Also, Section 15096 of the CEQA Guidelines provides that responsible agencies must make their own determination regarding the environmental impacts of the project. In the case at hand, the City did not consider the new circumstances regarding potential parking, traffic or public safety issues or the unusual circumstances that may trigger an exception to the exemption invoked by the County. (CEQA Guidelines § 1500.2.) 3. Approval of the Restripine Project at this point serves no immediate infrastructure or other purpose As reported by dozens of Loch Lomond residents, currently, no one parks on Point San Pedro Road, on either side. (Aside from an occasional car for sale on the south side near Andy's Market). Thus the road is a virtual Class II bike lane already. The only factor that will adversely affect parking and traffic is overflow from the Marina project. If the City's conclusions on parking impacts are accurate, then Pt. San Pedro Road will remain a de facto Class 2 bikeway on both sides even though marked as Class 3. If the City Council is convinced that the Marina Development project approved by the City will not push parking onto Pt. San Pedro Road or into Loch Lomond, then the City should logically retain the current striping until after the Marina development project is occupied and a parking study is completed because bicyclists would continue to have a marked, de facto Class II level bike lane. If the parking study shows no overflow parking onto Pt. San Pedro, the road can be restriped as a Class II bike lane. Two council members floated a proposal to only eliminate parking on the north side of Pt. San Pedro Road. As much as the Loch Lomond community appreciates this overture, such a proposal would put Loch Lomond at risk if the City's parking studies are as faulty as residents believe. This is because once either side of Pt. San Pedro Road is made into a Class 2 bikeway, it will be extremely difficult to get the 2 The Negative Declaration for the Bicycle Master Plan - a general program level document - in no way constitutes CEQA compliance. The DEIR for the development project cannot serve as a CEQA compliance document as it does not contemplate the environmental impacts of a Class 11 bike lane. City to agree to restripe again. The Mayor essentially admitted this in a recent meeting with Loch Lomond residents. Another factor is that there are new circumstances which will create an adverse cumulative parking impact. Because of student growth, onsite parking at San Pedro Elementary School is already demonstrably inadequate. Currently, parents already must park along Pt. San Pedro Road (as well as in Loch Lomond) whenever there is a special function. The south side of Pt. San Pedro Road in front of the school already has no parking signs, so cars can't currently park there. Removal of parking from the north side of Pt. San Pedro Road near to the school will necessarily push cars dropping children off into Loch Lomond. This potential cumulative impact should have been examined in a CEQA document. A parking study could possibly remedy this oversight and lack of CECtA compliance by the City. Conclusion In sum, the City of San Rafael should carry out its commitments made during the 2007 planning process for the Marina development project and not restripe the Pt. San Pedro Road until the promised parking study is completed. Loch Lomond believes that a satisfactory settlement can be made based on Mr. Mansourian's practical suggestion and urges the Council to adopt Mr. Mansourian's agreement in a new resolution. This would accommodate the bicyclists' primary concern, safety, and the Loch Lomond residents' primary concern, the potential for negative parking impacts from the Marina development. Loch Lomond appreciates the time the City has spent on this and the consideration of Loch Lomond's viewpoints. Sincerely, ��^^ vr,-,S G, Edward E.

Both meetings appear to have reached similar conclusions: Instead of installing Class II restricted bike lanes along the Loch Lomond Boundary from Bayview to Manderly, the City Traffic Engineer, Nader Mansourian, has suggested that the city install "No Parking Anytime" signs. The shoulder would remain Class 111 but would operate as a Class II bike lane in effect. My understanding is that the group meeting with Andrew McCullough came to a similar conclusion. The benefit to bicyclists is a safe lane free of parked cars. The benefit to San Pedro Elementary School is that they can apply for a parking permit on occasions when they know they will have parents coming for school events like Back To School Night in the Fall, Open House in the Spring, Graduation at the end of the year and any other events that will require significant on -street parking. Getting a parking permit for a Class II lane is more difficult if I understood Mr. Mansourian. The benefit to Loch Lomonders is that the No Parking Anytime signs can be more easily removed in the event that the Village at Loch Lomond Marina requires off-site parking. If Village traffic seeks additional parking in our neighborhood streets, we can trigger a parking study, as originally negotiated in the 2007 Resolution 12332. Parking along PSPR could then be installed, keeping unwanted Marina traffic out of our neighborhood streets. If the current Class Il proposal were in place, it would be virtually impossible to remove it in order to add parking along the North or Westbound side of PSPR. I would like to request that the City Council allow this proposal to be an agenda item for the City Council Meeting on Monday 8/18, rather than continuing to force Loch Lomond residents to line up at the microphone to state our position in Open Comments. I believe that if Nader Mansourian presents the compromise reached between the city representatives and President Gant, Treasurer London and Attorney Ed Yates of LLHOA in Tuesday's meeting, This item of business will proceed much more quickly and harmoniously for the council. Thank you all for your willingness to continue working with Loch Lomond on this very important issue. I look forward to seeing you all on Monday night. Sincerely, Sarah Gant, President Loch Lomond Homeowners Association _.i► The petition below includes over 610 petition signers supporting the C installation of bike lanes on both sides of Point San Pedro Road through the AR,h oUNrf B,4Y�,f CoA ,,,cN Loch Lomond area as part of the current 2014 roadway resurfacing project. wwvv.marinbike.org Petition to the City of San Rafael City Council: 4 415 4'->6 34 G9 F 4-1 4 5 G `d 344 We the undersigned, urge the City of San Rafael to install bike lanes on Point '-s.i ('l ai dSan Pedro Road. The City of San Rafael must consider the immediate safety needs of residents and visitors who regularly bicycle on Point San Pedro Road, including commuters, recreational riders, children, and students. The existing roadway condition, with heavy and high speed traffic and no bicycle facilities, presents a clear and present danger to bicyclists. The Marin County Bicycle Coalition has been working closely with the County of Marin and the City of San Rafael to get bike lanes installed on most of Point San Pedro Road, an important local roadway and a very popular segment of the San Francisco Bay Trail. However, bike lanes on one of the most dangerous (and soon to be very congested) parts of Point San Pedro Road are being threatened by those who believe that just needed in 2018. We urge the City of San Rafael to include bike lanes through the Loch Lomond area now. Doing so will fill a clear and present safety need and protect lives now. The time is now for the City of San Rafael to take a leadership role through direct action and to support alternative transportation modes to better meet the needs of San Rafael residents and visitors. This includes collaborating with ALL stakeholders and exploring creative engineering solutions such as travel lane narrowing and/or lane reduction. It is time for the City to stand by its General Plan policies, including: • Design roadways to be safe and convenient for motor vehicles, transit, bicycles and pedestrians, with highest priority placed on safety (Safe Roadway Design, C-4). • Identify opportunities to improve pedestrian, bicycle and transit connections between San Rafael neighborhoods and between San Rafael and adjacent communities (Connections Between Neighborhoods and with Adjoining Communities, C-23). Policies on paper mean nothing if the City does not enact them. The time has come for the City of San Rafael to support active, healthy and affordable transportation options for San Rafael and Marin residents and to support a safe and attractive alternative to the automobile.
