HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL
Palo Alto, California
EXTENSION or BRYANT STREET BICYCLf. BOULEVARQ
Members of the Council:
This is an inform~tional report. No Council action is required.
On July 27~ ~99?', the City Council endorsed the implementation of
the Briant street Bicycle Boulevard e~tension, including the award
of a construction contract. That work is now und~rway.
The project is to include the i~stallation of a tempo~ary street
clasure on Bryant Street, for-a six-month trial period. The street
closure is to be placed at Location A (betW'een Chanr.ing and
Addison), as opposed to Location 0 (between Addison and Lincoln) or
other locations that were considered during the study process (see
Attachment 1).
In CMR:323:92, dated July 2~ 1992, the location of the street
closure was more precisely described as being near the south
boundary of the parking lot for the Urgent Care Center, and shown
at a location south of both driveways which lead into the Urgent.
~are Center parking lot (see Attachment 2).
In response to concerns expressed by representatives of the Palo
Alto Medical Foundation and others, staff has reconsidered the.
precise location of the street closure, in relation to access to
the Urgent Ca~e Center, and concluded that it would be better to
install the temporary street closure between the two driveways that
lead into thE parking lot of the Urgent Care Center, rather th,3n
immecUately /South of both dr; ve'Ways. This location is also
acceptable to the Palo Alto Wursing Center.
Locating the temporary street closure between the two drive\olays
provides visi~ors to the Urgent Care Center with better access from
the south. While there is some possibility of traffic cutting
through the parking lot, the probability of this being a ~erious
CMR:400;92
•
problem is very loy, due to the fact that it offers no apparent
advantage over existing City streets. In o!lIddition, representatives
of the Pale Alto Medical Foundation have exp~es5ed the view that
the issue of access is more important than the issue of traffic
cutting through th. parking lot. They als~ expressed that they
would 'Work 'With City staft to address t.he problem, if it does
materialize.
Therefore, the temporary street closure has been installed on
Bryant street, between the two driveways serving the parking lot c,f
the U~gent Care Center, for the six-month trial period4
