Report
BACKGROUND
The Department of Public Works (DPW) is preparing the design for the De La Cruz Boulevard, Lick Mill Boulevard, and Scott Boulevard Bicycle Project (Attachment 1).
De La Cruz Boulevard, Lick Mill Boulevard, and Scott Boulevard Bicycle Project: The goal of this project is to enhance safety, improve mobility, and reduce vehicle emissions by implementing high priority bicycle projects identified in the Santa Clara Bicycle Plan while connecting local residential communities, schools, libraries, and major employers within Santa Clara. The project includes reviewing potential project options such as lane narrowing, parking removal, or travel lane removal on the corridors to implement the proposed bikeway improvements. On March 4, 2025, City Council adopted the project report and selected preferred design concepts for each roadway. The project is partially funded by Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending.
As set forth by the City of Santa Clara Complete Streets Policy, relevant transportation projects shall be coordinated with the BPAC to gather comments and recommendations regarding Complete Streets features that should be incorporated into the project.
DISCUSSION
The De La Cruz Boulevard, Lick Mill Boulevard, and Scott Boulevard Bicycle Project is currently at the 65 percent design phase. The project is considered a relevant transportation project to be coordinated with BPAC, and as such, these plans are attached for BPAC to review and provide feedback.
