Title
Pruneridge Avenue Complete Streets Plan
Report
BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clara received a Caltrans Sustainable Communities Transportation Planning Grant in May 2019 to develop the Pruneridge Avenue Complete Streets Plan (Plan). The Plan will identify bicycle and pedestrian improvements along a two-mile section of Pruneridge Avenue from Pomeroy Avenue to Winchester Boulevard (Attachment 1). In December 2020, the project was initiated with the assistance from the consultants, Alta Planning + Design, and will take approximately two years to complete. The Plan will identify bicycle and pedestrian improvements necessary to expand the existing roadway network, complete network gaps, provide greater connectivity to public transportation, increase mobility, and encourage the public to choose more sustainable modes of transportation. The Plan also includes reviewing potential options for parking removal and lane reductions. This meeting is to introduce the draft concepts and obtain feedback on these concepts from the Youth Commission.
DISCUSSION
The City and consultant Alta Planning + Design will present draft design concepts for the Pruneridge Avenue Complete Streets Plan to the Youth Commission through an interactive presentation. The Commission will be invited to ask questions and share feedback on the design concepts (Attachment 2). Alta will collect input via online polling over the course of the presentation and during the discussion period. The Youth Commission may also provide written feedback on the concepts using the following survey link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PruneridgeConcepts or by accessing the survey via the project's webpage at www.SantaClaraCA.gov/PrunridgeAvePlan.
