On July 6, 1992. the Council considered CKR:323:92 recommending the award of a contract for the implementation of the Bryant street Bicycle. .Boulevard Extension project, and approval of related. chanqes to stop signs, parking restrictions, and bicycle routes. The Council decided to continue further discussion and action on these items until July 27, 1992, so that Council could furt.her review and discuss the issue of the proposed str-e,~t closure and stop siqn changes at Addison and Kingsley, which had been previously approved in an earlier city Council action last December. staf.! supports the Approved Plan (approv~d by the City Council on December 2, 1992) for implementing the bicycle boulevard extension~ includinq installation of a temporary street closure and removal of stop siqns at Addison and Xingsley, for a six-month trial period; and recommends that Council take the appropriate actions to awara the. construction contract and approve related chanqes to stop signs, parking restrictions, and bicycle routes, as presented in CHR:J:23 :93. BACKGROUND On December 2, 1991, the City Council approved a plan for the extension of the Bryant Street Bicycle Boulevard and directed staff to proceed with the necessary steps for implementation. The Approved Pla~, illustrated in Exhibit 1, includes a provision for the installation of a temporary street closure on Bryant street, on a six-month test basis. staff is to evaluate the effects of the CHR:349:92 • : EXH18I1 1 I I' • i I i • • I S I ! • j ! : i ~ i ! i :; • i ! .i • • ! ; i , l' I ~ ! ! • ~ i i l - o street closure and return the matter to council for further action reqard1ng the dispo$ition (remov~l or permanent i~s~allation) of the street closure~ The Council'. decision ~as the cul:ination of an extensive process over an 19-month period, which included ~etailed study and evaluation, and extensive public input and discussion. The primary information sources for this project include: {a} th~ Bryant street Bicycle Boulevard Extension Report, dated September 1991; (b) CMR:42S:91~ dated September 26, 1931; and (c, CKR:49S:91, dated November 14, 1991. The Folicy and Services committee discussed the project on October 8, 1991, and ths full COlll'lcil c:1iscussed a.nd approved the project on December-2, 1991. Copies ot the Study Report, CMRs, and minutes of th~ Policy ~ Services committee and city Council meetings are available in tbe Transportation Oivigion l sixth floor, city Hall, 250 Hamilton Avenue. Last De.cember, whe.n t..l1is -matter was cOl'l'sidered, Council had before it three alternatives, identified as follows: • Plan R = Recommended Plan (recommended by staff at that time) • Plan S = Substitute Plan • Plan C = Combined Plan (approved by Co~~cil in December 1991) Plan C is the alte.rnative approved by COI.meil and, since that time, has been referred to as the ·Approved Plan" r It includes a t~porary street closure on Bryant street and removal o~ stop signs on Bryant at Xinqsley ana Addison. Plan R is the same as Plan c, except that it does not include a street closure on Bryant. Plan S is the sue as Plan C, except that it does not include the channelized turn restrictions at the Bryant/Embarcadero intersection. All three plans include the removal of stop signs on Bryant at Kingsley and Addi50n~ PURPOSE OF BICYCLE BOULEYhRQ The-purpose of the bicycl2 boulevard is to provide: (1) a throuqhway upon which bicycles have precedence over automobiles; (2) a direct route that reduces travel time fot:' bicyclist.s; (3) a safe travel route that minimizes conflicts with motor vehicle traffic; and (4) a facility that p4omotes and facilitates the use of bicycles as a.n alternative transportation mode, for all purposes of travel.

The primart traffic impar:ts of trdffic diver-sion froOm Plan C are concentrated in the blocks of Channing and Ackiison betllef.;l Waverley and Ram.ona, and the blocks of :Ramona and Waverley between Channing and Addison. As documented in the Environmental Assessment {90-EIA-28, page 12; attachea to CMR:4SS:91), only in the block of Ramona between Channing and Addison is this change in volume expected to Dc clearly noticeable to residents4 • Both Pla.ns C and R r-ed:uce traffic volumes on Brya:""t., 'Which is a primary objective of the bicycle boulev .:-d extension. EfFEct Of STOP SIGN CHANGES ON TRAFFIC VOLu~ES The changes in daily traffic volumes On eryant and adjacent streets under Plan C (Approved Plan) and Plan R are illustrated in Exhibits 2 and 3. These are based on the stop sign configurations Which result in no atop signs on Bryant between Cilanning and ~rcadQro. While the addition of one or more stop signs alonq Bryant would ~ expected t~ result in a limited amount of additional traffic diVersion from Bryant, de .... eloping a reasonably sound quantitative understanding of the amount of such increMental traffic diversion is problematic, particularly when otber significant changes are alBo involved. As il general indicator of the impact of step sign changes for either pl~n, the installation of a stop sign on Bryant at Lincoln {creating a four-way)., for example, would be expected to result in a 2-3 percent reduction of traffic on Bryant, north of Emharcader0 4 If the diversion was all to Waverley, the increase on Wa.verley would. amount to 1 percent co:rnpared to the nUl!1bers indicated in Exhibits 2 and 34 EFFECT Of STOP SIGN CHbNGES ON SPEEDS Apart from the traffic diversion erfects of changes i~ stop signs, concern has been raised reqarding excessive vehicular travel speeds alonq Br)~nt, ~nd possible conflicts between pedestrians crossing Bryant (particularly school children), and bicycles and automobiles traveling alonq Bryant. This concern i~ based upon the perception that travel speeds will increase along Briant street, due to the increased unimpeded travel distance created by removal of the stop signs, thereby creating an unsafe sit~ation.

Measurements of travel speeds O~ segments of streets with travel related ~eatures and characteristi~6 similar to those that ~ou!d be expected on Bryant, if one or more stop signs were re~oved, are compared below to current speeds on Bryant Street: Speed (mphl Street Urimpcded Street Segment l<<mgth ~ §.llhl Waverley Street Embarcadero to Lincoln (1,100 ftl 28 32 Cowper Street Embarcadero to Kingsley {1,000 tt) 26 32 Newell street EaWarca,dero to Channing (1.950 ftl 29 32 Bryant Street Lo-.rell to california (2.,400 ftl 26 31 Bryant Street Lincoln to Addison (850 ftl 27 32 These data, as well as other speed ~elated studies, indicate that travel speed does not necessarily change due t.o the length of unimpeded travel distance, but rathe~ is related to a driver's perception of the features o~ the roadway and characteristics of the adjacent area. The information does not support the presumption that travel speed Yould significantly increase as a reEult of a longer unimpeded travel distance. Furthermore, the 8-xis.tir.q drainage. dip in the pavement across Bryant, near the Xingsley intersect.ion, effectively reduces the unimpeded travel distance to 1400 feet. The dip will be signed with warninq signs; and because the ohange in qrade is substantial, it will also serve effectively as a speed deterrent because drivers will be forced to reduce their speed. Since the removal of stop signs is important to help facilitate bicycle travel alonq the bicycle boulevard, but the concerns about their removal a~e also important, staff proposes to monitor actual conditions (speeds, volumes, conflicts, etc.) on Bryant at the locations where stop signs have been removed, and .,i11 specifically report back to th~ Council following an initial six-month period, or earlier., as conditions warrant. In that manner, problems, if they develop, are assured of .being ~ecognii:ed, identified and resolved. The proposed comprehensive =onitcrinq plan includes two distinct components: (1) an initial assessment of the immediate impacts of the project shortly after implementation, including t.efore and a~ter speed measurements and field observations of vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle activity each school day, tor a week after the street closure is installed; and (2) a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation of the siX-month trial street Closure, ~hich will include field observations, traffic counts, speed measurements, a CMR,349,n 7/23/92 Page 4 review of accident and complaint records, neighborhood survey.

Attachment 2 of this staff report is a copy of CMR:5BO:2 dated December 9, 1982, which documents the evaluation of the bicycle boulevard, following the demonstration period. Subsequ~ntlYI Council designated Bryant street, between Churchill Avenue 5nd Meadow Drive, as a perman2nt bike boulEv~rd within the framework of PalQ Alto's adopted Bikeways Kaster Plan. The evaluation report concluded that: • the bicycle boulevard developed a substantial level of bike. ridership; • probleuts antiCipated prier to the demonstration failed to materialize; and • a predominately stop-free bikeway, local residential street, can ba effective route for ~icyclists.
