REPORT TO BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN ADVISORY COMMITTEE
SUBJECT
Title
Action to Recommend City Council Adoption of the Benton Street Bikeway Planning Study and Approval of a Preferred Concept (He)
Report
BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clara’s Bicycle Plan Update, 2018 identified the Benton Street segment from Dunford Way to Lincoln Street as a priority project. The City and project consultant, Alta Planning + Design, began work on the Benton Street Bicycle Planning Study (“Project”) in January 2023.
The project team identified feasible design options to reallocate roadway space to provide 2.7 miles of bike facilities along Benton Street from Dunford Way to Lincoln Street. The goal of the Project is to identify improvements to close bicycle network gaps, increase mobility, and encourage the public to choose more sustainable modes of transportation and includes reviewing potential options for parking or lane removal. The result of the Project will be a final Project Report that will contain a traffic and parking analysis, street design concepts, a discussion on opportunities and constraints of the potential design options, and a preferred design concept. It should be noted that this Project is only a planning-level effort and does not include design, environmental review, or construction of any alternative.
The Benton Street corridor is primarily fronted by residential uses and schools, including Santa Clara High School. There are also many important community destinations along or just off the corridor, including Earl R. Carmichael Park, Central Park, Carli Park, and the San Tomas Aquino Creek Trail.
The project has been presented to the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) at three previous meetings:
• In March 2023 staff provided a project overview, schedule, and vision.
• In August 2023 staff shared a summary of input gathered from the first round of community outreach, presented existing conditions analysis and the first draft of design concepts, and obtained BPAC feedback.
• In January 2024 staff shared a summary of input gathered from community outreach, presented revised design concepts, and obtained BPAC feedback. Informal polling at this meeting for the 64-foot-wide section showed three BPAC members in support of Concept A, one in support of Concept B, and one in support of Concept C. For the 38-foot-wide section, two BPAC members were in support of Concept D, two in support of Concept E, and one in support of Concept F. Five BPAC members were in support of Concept G for the 60-foot-wide section.
DISCUSSION
Since the last Project update in January 2024 the project team has completed the third-round online community survey on concepts and released the Draft Bikeway Planning Study Report (“Report”) on the project webpage for public review and comment from April 22 to May 12, 2024. Community engagement was a major component of the project, and a variety of engagement strategies were used to seek input from the community:
• Project signs installed along the study corridor
• Postcard mailings (approximately 3,000 sent)
• Social media posts
• City News Articles & City Manager Newsletter
• Inside Santa Clara Articles
• Community Workshops (3)
• Senior Advisory Commission (1)
• Parks and Recreation Commission (1)
• Youth Commission (1)
• Pop-up events (6) including one at Santa Clara High School
• Online surveys (3)
• City website
• Emails
The Report is divided into five chapters which include (1) Introduction and Background, (2) Existing Conditions, (3) Corridor Alternative Concepts & Analysis, (4) Community Engagement, and (5) Recommendations. The Report also includes an Appendix with detailed information on existing conditions, parking utilization, traffic analysis, survey results, collision data, survey results, and community engagement material. The Report can be reviewed and downloaded from the project webpage at <https://www.santaclaraca.gov/our-city/departments-g-z/public-works/engineering/traffic-engineering/bicycle-and-pedestrian-projects/benton-street-bikeway-study>.
At the June 2024 BPAC meeting, the project team will provide a project update and:
1. Share a summary of the Draft Bikeway Planning Study Report.
2. Seek BPAC recommendation that City Council adopt a resolution for the Benton Street Bikeway Planning Study.
3. Seek a BPAC recommendation for Benton Street preferred design concepts to present to the City Council.
Corridor Design Concepts
Benton Street between Dunford Way and Lincoln Street has three different roadway widths (project location map is included as Attachment 1). The project team developed various design concepts for each of the Benton Street segments based on their existing curb-to-curb widths:
• 60-foot-wide typical section (Dunford Way to Lawrence Expressway)
• 64-foot-wide typical section (Lawrence Expressway to San Tomas Expressway)
• 38-foot-wide typical section (Maryann Drive to Lincoln Street)
The roadway concepts show prototypical locations on Benton Street to demonstrate different roadway and intersection design features. The draft designs are not specific to any location or intersection on Benton Street. The cross-section design detail and more information on the proposed dimensions and considerations of each concept are in the project report and Attachment 2. Each concept is summarized below:
Benton Street 60-Foot-Wide Typical Section (Dunford Way to Lawrence Expressway)
• No Build Option for Benton Street 60-Foot-Wide Typical Section
o This concept represents a “No Build” scenario and matches the existing condition on Benton Street from Dunford Way to Lawrence Expressway, with two traffic lanes and parking on both sides. The vehicle travel lanes are 20 feet wide; curb to curb width is 60 feet wide (including the gutter).
• Concept G: Two Lanes, Buffered Bike Lanes, Parking on Both Sides for Benton Street from Dunford Way to Lawrence Expressway
o This concept keeps two travel lanes but reduces the lane width from 20 feet to 12 feet. Parking is maintained on both sides of the street. An eight-foot-wide buffered bicycle lane (Class IIB) is added to each side of the street, with five feet of bikeway and three feet of buffer.
Benton Street 64-Foot-Wide Typical Section (Lawrence Expressway to San Tomas Expressway)
• No Build Option for Benton Street 64-Foot-Wide Typical Section
o This concept represents a “No Build” scenario and matches the existing condition on Benton Street from Lawrence Expressway to San Tomas Expressway, with four traffic lanes and parking on both sides. The vehicle travel lanes are 11 to 12 feet wide, curb-to-curb width is 64 feet wide (including the gutter), and the public right-of-way is 90 feet wide. This condition varies from Live Oak Drive to Sonoma Place near Santa Clara High School where there is a two-way left-turn lane, parking only along the north side of the street, and parking restricted along the south side of the street.
• Concept A: Two Lanes, Center Turn Lane, Buffered Bike Lanes, Parking on Both Sides
o From Lawrence Expressway to Live Oak Drive and from Kiely Boulevard to Maryann Drive, this concept removes one travel lane in each direction and adds a two-way center left-turn lane. Parking is maintained on both sides of the street. An eight-foot-wide buffered bicycle lane (Class IIB) is added to each side of the street, with five feet of bikeway and three feet of buffer.
o From Live Oak Drive to Kiely Boulevard, alongside Santa Clara High School, this concept removes one travel lane in each direction and keeps the two-way left-turn lane. This concept provides additional protection for cyclists arriving at the high school or traveling through the area. The parking on the north side of the street is maintained. A nine-foot-wide buffered bike lane is added to the north side of the street and an 11-foot-wide protected bikeway (Class IV) is added to the south side of the street (school side).
• Concept B: Two Lanes, Center Turn Lane, Parking-Protected Bike Lanes
o From Lawrence Expressway to Live Oak Drive and from Kiely Boulevard to Maryann Drive, this concept removes one travel lane in each direction and adds a two-way center left-turn lane. An eight-foot-wide parking protected bikeway is added to each side of the street, with five feet of bikeway and three feet of buffer. Parking is maintained on both sides of the street but is positioned outside the bikeway to act as vertical separation between the bikeway and vehicle travel lane.
o From Live Oak Drive to Kiely Boulevard, alongside Santa Clara High School, this concept removes one travel lane in each direction and keeps the two-way left-turn lane. This concept provides additional protection for cyclists arriving at the high school or traveling through the area. The parking on the north side of the street is moved outside a nine-foot-wide buffered bike lane. An 11-foot-wide protected bikeway (Class IV) is added to the south side of the street (school side).
• Concept C: Four Lanes, Buffered Bike Lanes, Remove Parking on One Side
o From Lawrence Expressway to Live Oak Drive and from Kiely Boulevard to Maryann Drive, this concept maintains four travel lanes but removes one parking lane. A seven-foot-wide buffered bicycle lane (Class IIB) is added to each side of the street, with five feet of bikeway and two feet of buffer.
o From Live Oak Drive to Kiely Boulevard, alongside Santa Clara High School, this concept keeps four travel lanes and a two-way left-turn lane. On the north side of the street, parking is removed, and a five-foot-wide bike lane is added. An eight-foot-wide protected bikeway (Class IV) is added to the south side of the street (school side).
o If Concept C is selected, it is recommended to remove parking from the south side, as that would have least impact on parking supply on the Benton Street 64-foot-wide section.
Benton Street 38-Foot-Wide Typical Section (Maryann Drive to Lincoln Street)
• No Build Option for Benton Street 38-Foot-Wide Typical Section
o This concept represents a “No Build” scenario and matches the existing condition on Benton Street from Maryann Drive to Lincoln Street, with two travel lanes and parking on both sides. The vehicle travel lanes are 11 feet wide, curb to curb width is 38 feet wide (including the gutter), and the public right-of-way is 60 feet wide.
• Concept D: Bicycle Boulevard, Parking on Both Sides
o This concept has two travel lanes that are shared with bicycles to create a bicycle boulevard (Class IIIB). Striping, signage, wayfinding, and traffic calming features are added to this segment to promote safe travel for all users of the shared facility. Traffic calming features must comply with the City’s Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program.
• Concept E: Buffered Bike Lanes, Remove Parking on Both Sides
o This concept has two travel lanes. Parking is restricted on both sides of the street. An eight-foot-wide buffered bicycle lane (Class IIB) is added to each side of the street, with five feet of bikeway and three feet of buffer.
• Concept F: Bike Lanes, Remove Parking on One Side
o This concept has two travel lanes. Parking is maintained on one side of the street. A minimum five-foot-wide bike lane (Class II) is added to each side of the street. Vehicle travel lanes are reduced to 10 feet wide.
o If Concept F is selected, it is recommended to remove parking from the north side, as that would have least impact on parking supply on the Benton Street 38-foot-wide section.
Concept Analysis Summary
The project team analyzed and estimated the impacts of the proposed design concepts on traffic, safety, and parking utilization along the project corridor. An analysis summary for the Benton Street 64-foot-wide and 38-foot-wide sections are presented in Tables 1 and 2 below, respectively, and a benefits summary in Tables 3 and 4 below. Proposed Concept G in the Benton Street 60-foot-wide section does not involve any parking or travel lane removal, so parking utilization and traffic operations are anticipated to be the same as existing conditions.
Benton Street Bikeway Planning Study Report
The City posted the Draft Benton Street Bikeway Planning Study Report online and accepted public comments from April 22 through May 12, 2024. The following section details high-level summaries and final community feedback on the report. Thefull draft report is available for download and review online: <https://www.santaclaraca.gov/our-city/departments-g-z/public-works/engineering/traffic-engineering/bicycle-and-pedestrian-projects/benton-street-bikeway-study.>

Community Survey #3 Results
The project team ran the third online survey from January 16 through February 25, 2024. The survey received 116 public responses, 29 percent of whom live, work, or attend school on Benton Street itself, and the remainder of whom use the corridor as a transportation route. The project team used ranked choice voting to determine which alternative had majority support from the public. If no concept had an outright majority, the team eliminated the concept with the fewest first-choice votes. Those who voted for the eliminated concept had their votes redistributed to their next highest-ranked choice in the following round.
The ranked choice voting results are summarized below (Attachment 3 shows the detailed breakdown for the 64- and 38-foot wide sections):
• For the 60-foot-wide typical section, the concept with the greatest support was Concept G: Two Lanes, Buffered Bike Lanes, Parking on Both Sides for Benton Street from Dunford Way to Lawrence Expressway with an outright majority (84%) support from the votes.
• For the 64-foot-wide typical section, the concept with the greatest voter support was Concept B: Two Lanes, Center Turn Lane, Parking-Protected Bikeway.
• For the 38-foot-wide typical section, the concept with the greatest voter support was Concept E: Buffered Bike Lanes, Remove Parking on Both Sides.
Overall, over 72 percent of participants voted in favor of one of the bikeway concepts on Benton Street as their first choice. Some respondents indicated that they would rather have a separated bikeway for their own safety and comfort, and if not, at least a painted buffer.
Draft Study Report Public Comments
The public comment period on the Draft Study Report was open from April 22 to May 12, 2024. Of the 177 comments received on the public draft report, 20 comments are for the study in general or entire project corridor, eight comments are specific to the 64-foot-wide concepts and 149 comments are specific to the 38-foot-wide concepts.
Public Comments for the Entire Corridor (20 Comments):
• Seven people did not support the study or oppose installation of bicycle lanes on Benton Street. Some of them suggested cyclists should use parallel routes such as Homestead Road or Pruneridge Avenue.
• Six people opposed parking removal on the Benton Street corridor.
• Three people were concerned about speeding and traffic congestion on Benton Street. Some comments included suggestions to add traffic calming measures such as speed humps, make Benton Street one-way, and build raised bicycle/pedestrian paths.
• Two people were concerned about the annual Clean-up Campaign operations.
• Two people expressed support of the project, including support of limited parking on Benton Street and adding bike lanes.
Public Comments for 64-foot-wide Concepts (8 Comments):
• Four people were concerned about traffic congestion in front of Santa Clara High School and near San Tomas Expressway.
• Two people opposed parking removal on the 64-foot-wide section.
• Two people indicated that they prefer Concept A, with Concept B as their second choice.
Public Comments for 38-foot-wide Concepts (149 Comments):
• 144 people opposed parking removal on the 38-foot-wide section in general:
o 137 people opposed both Concepts E & F - parking removed on either side of Benton Street. Four people supported Concept D - Bicycle Boulevard.
o Five of them opposed only Concept E - parking removed on both sides.
o One person suggested removing parking from the south side of the street (adjacent to the Carmelite Monastery) while leaving parking available on the north side of the street (adjacent to the homes). Another suggested keeping parking on the south side in front of Wilson School so that the employees and visitors can continue to park there and not congest neighborhood streets.
o The concerns about parking removal included decrease in home values, insufficient parking, accessibility and parking needs for seniors.
• One person supported Concept E.
• One person supported Concept F.
• Other comments that opposed bicycle lane installation were concerned about insufficient parking, traffic congestion going to San Tomas Expressway and narrow streets. Some requested more project notifications.
