ITS is "Level of Traffic Stress". Collision data is from the last report that I found, which has three years of history. By comparison, the protected bike lane on Stoneridge (east) would have been ITS 2 and no collisions, but it wasn't even listed in the Master Plan as a recommended project. I asked repeatedly, and apparently no one from the community asked for it. But we did it anyway. These projects are very cheap compared to this mini street sweeper. They would add to the percentage of protected bike lanes and make it easier to justify the new vehicle. Also, since I checked this too, MTC says that we have $178k available. They are unaware of the intention to rescind $493k (at least they did not tell me about it). Therefore, the total available is $671k. Motion to Edit the Resolution If City Council approves the recommendation "as is", you should make a motion to edit "Finding #8". City Council is attesting to the truth of the statements in the findings and the Complete Streets checklist, which is not attached but found in the BPTC packet from March 24th. Finding #8 states that the project (the street sweeper) has been included in a detailed bicycle plan or responds to an immediate community need. Neither is technically true. The plan only asks that bicycle facilities be maintained, not that a mini street sweeper be used. This is a minor point. But when the protected bike lanes were proposed, the BPTC asked about maintenance and were assured that cleaning could be done with existing equipment (including manual sweeping). From personal experience, I think the bike lanes are almost always clean. In 2023, 1 challenged the findings in RES 23-1393 (the most recent TDA request). It included several falsehoods which the previous City Council attested as being true. One was that the Stoneridge protected bike lane was in the Master Plan. It was not. Another was that sufficient funds existed to complete the 580 Overcrossing project. As explained in the agenda packet this year, that statement was also false. MTC is aware of these falsehoods. They chose not to hold the City of Pleasanton accountable. For the sake of integrity, I would hope you want to do better this time.
