3. Benefits: How many complaints do we get on the existing protected bike lanes? I'm guessing it's on the order of 10 per year. I use the Mobile Citizen app to request the clean-up of debris in bike lanes. Most of my cyclist friends do also. Operations Services have data on how many complaints arise. What is the threshold where it rises to a legitimate annoyance? If it's not annoying, then the perceived benefit will be small. 4. Relative justification: M have about 250 miles of streets. I assume we have less than 10 miles of protected bike lanes - call it 12 miles for easy math. That's 5%. How many full-size street sweepers do we have, and how often are they used? How will this mini street sweeper be used in comparison to the full-sized ones? If we have 12 miles of protected bike lanes and this mini street sweeper operates at 12mph (I confirmed), that is one hour. How many times will these protected bike lanes be swept in a month? One, two, maybe four? Four hours per month is 48 hours per year. That's less than one -fortieth of an FTE, by comparison. I would think that we need above 10% of the streets to be protected before we could justify a mini street sweeper. What threshold did Operations use? 5. Payback Period: Staff said that operating this mini street sweeper would require less time than hand sweeping. If I make an assumption of $75 per hour and the number of hours in the above bullet, that's $3.6k per year. The payback period is then 86 years. Another way of calculating the payback period is by comparing to the cost of renting an equivalent vehicle. The City of Livermore has a mini street sweeper and is willing to let Pleasanton use it, per staff. What is the operating cost? How many years of renting Livermore's vehicle would it take to pay back ours? Also, how does this payback period compare to the expected lifespan of this mini street sweeper (probably 10 years)? Again, I understand the difference between "general funds" and "TDA funds," so this isn't directly equivalent. But as a data -driven organization, I assume that someone ran the numbers. Alternative Priorities This mini street sweeper is not necessarily BPTC's top priority. Staff gave BPTC one option and asked them to approve, which they did. No one asked them if they'd prefer something else. In 2024, 1 sent Mr. Tassano suggestions from the "near-term protected bike lanes" section in the current Master Plan. This is the Master Plan that City Council approved in 2017. - Owens from Hopyard to Vest Las Positas (ITS 4, that's high -stress, 2 recent collisions) - First Street from Vineyard to Valley/Bernal (ITS 4, 1 recent collision) - Hopyard from Vest Las Positas to Valley (ITS 4, no collisions) - Valley from Kolln Center Pkwy to Bernal (ITS 4, no collisions)
