Minutes / notes
BAC Planning Subcommittee
November 20, 2012

Attending: Glenn, Kent,
Staff: Michelle, Nate, Eve Sanford, David Somers, interns: Owen Gorman, Michael.
Consultants from Fehr and Peers
» designates need for follow up

1. Introductions

2. Approval of minutes

3. Bike Plan Implementation
Planning staff is reviewing consultants EIR work on first year package of projects.
Will be publishing DEIR soon, not going for certification but will file for exemption under AB2245.
Will still take comments and reply, Planning Dept. will hold 4 hearings, Central, W’side, NoEast, Valley and webinar.
Will notify NCs, agencies, etc.

Controversial projects
Lankershim. Ave of Stars has some opposition,
Cauenga probably the hottest: locals are worked up because delay expected to result from road diet was stated as 20 min. This is deceptive because it is based on a worst case, end-to-end out and back, peak hour trip; needs to be explained better.
Federation of Hillside and canyon homeowners (?) is a key group that will need to support the project. There are other local neighborhood groups too that will influence community support or opposition.
Project could have ped benefits; locals want to be able to walk to Hollywood Bowl.
» BAC and LACBC Bike Ambassador program need to look at Cauenga. There will be a December meeting.
» Larry: Stay in touch with Labonge on this.
»Bikeways subcom: Please give Planning Subcom your take on the options, technical challenges, etc.

Additional projects
DOT staff is looking for any add’l on-road striping projects that could be included in project packages.
» BAC members: Any good striping projects, as yet unplanned, in your district? Any easy ones that were missed? Let Michelle, Nate know.

Planning is finalizing 2nd year project package. They have funding for enviro report and some projects use fed money (which comes under Federal NEPA), so may go ahead with an EIS.

4. Expo Bikeway planning
Lawsuit settled. Mediation settlement includes:
A 10’ soundwall, lighting on trail but screened from homes,
Asked for no community access from Northvale, but not part of settlement.
Palms and Westside N’hood councils need to provide input on this issue.
Settlement should be public record: see city atty.
No work yet on evaluating EIR ramifications of moving bike path out of trench; money for this won’t be available until next year.

5. Traffic mitigation planning, impact on bikeway plans
-Casden project at Sepulveda and Exposition
-Hollywood Millenium project
Staff will try to get us more info about how these projects are incorporating nearby Bike Plan projects.
Update: Responding to Michelle’s prompt request for info, staff working on these two projects report that they are aware of Bike Plan projects nearby and have given guidance to the developers to integrate these into their mitigation planning, not to impact them negatively.

Related points
The Bicycle Trust Fund is functioning and is funded by development projects. There may be flexibility in where money is used for bikeways.

6. Westside Mobility Plan / Study, bikeway element input
Sean Haeri is lead on this from DOT.
Metro will be modeling bikes as part of congestion management planning.

7. Update on NBC Universal project
Council approved the development agreement which includes:
$3 mil for LA River bike path, $500K for design, both going to County
Plus $275K contribution to Bike Trust Fund

Barham supposed to get an add’l lane as part of mitigation plan. But stripping may be flexible, may not have to be a car travel lane.

Announcement
12-13-12 11AM, Rededication of Baum Bridge with a new plaque

Planning Subcommittee Meeting Notes March 12, 2013

Mon, 01 Apr 2013 18:50:00 -0700

BAC Planning Subcommittee meeting
March 12, 2013 1:30PM
100 Main St., Hollywood Room

Minutes and notes

Members attending: Glenn, Jennifer, Kent, Jeff
Staff: Nathan, Carlos Rodriquez

1. Introductions

2. Approval of minutes
approved

3. Bike Plan Implementation
123 miles of bikeways, incl sharrows, 80-90mi of bike lanes, since BP approval.
Draft EIR will provide required reporting, but not doing full EIR process per AB 2245, report is still a CEQA doc
Hearings for 1st year package are complete
Responding to comments now, have received 4-500 emails
Next steps:
- Finish reports (will break down by geography and ease of implementation),
- submit to Gen’l Mgr for recommendations, then goes public.
GM to provide letter of approval, which is appealable to Council (30 day period) even though the projects are exempted.
- Anticipating additional outreach on some, per Council offices request (ie, Fig north of York, maybe Cauenga, Lankershim)
- Projects will go to construction at earliest in June.
- My Fig will hava an EIR, because buffered lanes and separated path make it different than typical bike lanes exempted by AB 2245..
- There will be an update at the April BPIT

Second year package
City has federal HSIP funds to do these (1st year did not), so need to figure out how NEPA applies.
Note that AB 2245 expires in Jan 1 2018.

Re question about a developer dedicating property for road widening: practice now is to do this only as a last resort.
» Staff will check into widening policy

4. Expo Bikeway planning
- Negotiating funding for contract, to be signed and go to design soon. Hope to go from 60% design (end of summer?) right to 100% (by end of year?), skipping 85% review,saves money, completes faster.
- City has commited to paying extra cost for Pico Gateway bikeway enhancements, est $560K
- There is a $500K placeholder cost for Centinela enhancements, though this could be high by about 150K.
- Expo still pushing back on paying anything beyond their baseline design.
- Advocate input needed
- Northvale segment: trending towards combining the stretch of bikeway along Northvale with the LA City project to build the bikeway on the sewer easement properties. Could improve design and coordination of the two.
- Gap still exists at Venice Blvd crossing.
- LADOT submitted comments on what’s needed:
1) Provide guide signs to guide bicyclist between phase I and phase II.
2) Relocate the driveway in front of the terminus point of Expo Bike Path Phase II, and provide curb & gutter with sidewalk.
3) Provide wider sidewalks along the designated transition path between Phase I & II, which will allow adequate passage for both pedestrians and bicyclist.
4) Modify all access ramps along the designated transition path to have a 6 foot opening, see attachment for reference.
5) Modify all crosswalks within the intersections of 1)Robertson Blvd/Exposition Blvd & Venice Blvd and 2) National Blvd & Venice Blvd to have continental style crosswalks and 20 foot wide crosswalks.
6) Provide 10 foot wide opening through the islands at the intersection of Robertson Blvd/Exposition Blvd & Venice Blvd.
7) Modify the signal plan to have the southbound Exposition Blvd right turn signal control, instead of the design of stop control.

Between Venice Blvd. and termination point of phase 1 path, Culver City will accommodate bikes on sidewalk from Washington to Venice Blvd. The plan is to put bike lanes on National in future.
- We learned that Continental crosswalks will be used on all Expo Phase 2 crossings.
- DOT “backed” their design costs out of bikeway budget (gave funds back to Metro), but BOE and BSS could not forego their expenses due to the quality of plans given to them by Expo, which needed more work.
- Now, the overall bikeway project is about $1.2mil in red, significantly better than where we were a few months ago.

5. Proposal to eliminate speed humps
Council file # 13-0191
Speed cushions are being considered.
»Recommend action to full BAC
- need to study impact on traffic, safety, etc
- consider alternatives such as horizontal diverters, turn restrictions, speed tables

6. My Figueroa update
Latest proposal calls for downgrading of bikeway from separated to buffered as follows:
MLK to Exposition Blvd: buffered bike lanes (similar to Spring St.)
Exposition to approx. Washington: separated (protected) bike lanes.
Washington to approx. 7th St.: buffered bike lanes

- Previous meetings have been held.
- Major stakeholder comments:
Some car dealers have concerns re queueing for their service dept. drop-off activity. AAA submitted comments that the bikeway element of the proposal is too dramatic. AEG has not submitted comments.
See comments and presentation at LA Bike Blog
»My Fig community meeting April 9th, Orthopedic hospital, 5:30-8PM

7. Westside Mobility Plan / Study update
- Will they incorp bikeway stuff from Mobility update?
» David will check
LA Mobility element
- opportunity to plug in innovations, low-stress network, bike highway net, complete streets, transit-bicycle networks,
Deadling on comments March 31st
» Recommendation that full BAC consider submitting recommendations.

8. Update on NBC Universal project
no report

Presentations, Updates and Public Comment

1. Presentation by Los Angeles Department of City Planning – David Somers

Working on EIR process for 44 miles of priority 1 package for first 5-year plan. The projects were screened by DOT as needing enviro clearance due to traffic impact. Scoping meetings start 2nd week of July, Notice of Preparation, will be alerting NCs:

First meeting, July 10, downtown at DOT HQs
Second, July 12 6-8PM, at Parking Enforcement facility, Sepulveda and Expo
Third, July 18, Ramona Rec and Park facility

» Alert your contact lists of these meetings (for me: CD 11 Tcom, BAC, SM Spoke, etc.

My Figueroa project has been taken over by DOT; it’s in EIR too; on tight timeline, is in design (10%). It is an experimental project, barrier separated bikeway, probably bike signals, working with Caltrans BAC, being called “Bikeway X”.

Need to start focusing on the next 40-mile package, including bike friendly streets.

» PlanCom needs to draft a letter to provide input on scoping / NOP. Advise on what EIR needs to address to achieve acceptable bike lanes.

Mobility Element
Focusing on goals and policies first (LA2B input), road cross sections (Street Standards) and priority networks next.
» follow up with Jane, check for opp to input on policies taking shape.

2. Public Comment

Kevin Burton, West Hollywood Bicycle Task Force

Encourages LA to accelerate implementation of BP improvements on San Vicente near Cedars Sinai.
Also Burton Way shows BLs in 5 year plan. Bev Hills considering BLs on Burton Way; wide enough with no lane removal, also in LA.
Michelle: will need lane removal, ie an EIR, so will need to go into next EIR package
» Consider prioritizing San Vicente at next Plan Com meeting: bike lanes San Vicente Beverly Blvd south to Pico. Agendize.

Action Items

No actions were taken on the items below. 8 member attendance was not sufficient for a quorum.

5. Approval of Minutes / April 3, 2012 - no discussion

6. LADOT Bikeways Report – Michelle Mowery

Legislation:
-AB 2245, would make EIRs for bikeways easier, goes before Inter gov’t relations Com?
It’s Metro’s bill. CBC very involved.
- Bike rack bill: Bonnie Lowenthal obstructing to curry union favor.
»Kent: inquire with Stephan Vance at CBC
-Expo bikeway lawsuit; sued again by neighbors, despite supplementary documentation supplied by LA.
Caltrans needs to move quickly to determine whether they’re going to defend the project or not.

7. LADOT Engineering Report – Paul Meshkin

See Paul’s report emailed to us. 14 miles installed in April and May, 38 miles so far since July 2011.
» Members should check for projects in their districts, support and promote them to NCs, CD office, stakeholders, etc.

8. CD 7 “Yield to Horses/Cyclists” - Tabled until next meeting.

» Bart should follow up with Council Member Alarcon.

BAC Subcommittees, Officer and Member Reports

9. Council District Updates

Larry: Contacted Labonge re Universal’s work next to LAR and possible impact on future bike path; looks like enough room still exists, Lankershim / Cauenga bike connection being explored.

Aubrey: Expo segment National to Washington to open on June 20th. Watts fun ride this weekend.

Brad: will report on recent projects next time

Ron: Blessing of Bikes honored Alex Baum, good turnout

Kent: Rose Ave. bike lanes may not require 12 parking spaces removed; should help get local support.

Bike corral on Rose: Michelle: It is not rejected, it’s in coastal zone so requires Commission approval. Doing Abbot Kinney corral first.

Jonathan: Venice Blvd BLs by Lowes, still need stencil marking. Rodeo Expo intersection: recent improvements of little help, still seems unsafe. Suggests we get cards we can give to merchants who want racks (and corrals?) near them.

There was another successful Palms Bike Rodeo recently.
Wants to set up a task force to focus on educating kids, lots of interest (UCLA, Kaiser, etc). Will be a separate activity.

Glenn: need to close gap on Plumber west of CSUN

CD 15: BLs on Weymouth Ave., more will be coming

» let Brad know

Rose Ave. BLs, Lincoln > 4th, several parking spaces need to be removed, could be controversial with merchants, awaiting Council Office response.

Larchmont, Labonge wants diagonal parking, encourage him to try back-in parallel (safer for cyclists, better visitibility when pulling out, safer for kids exiting cars).

10-15 projects are in design

SM Blvd. gap in lanes east of Cent City; in BP? 5 year plan? width constraints?

4. Mobility Plan update

A Mobility Element Workshop was held concurrent to this meeting. Awaiting report from BAC members who attended.

One presentation showed numerous bikeway innovations from northern Europe. For example, use of a bypass lane for cyclists to pass buses that are stopped to pick up passengers. Applicable to Santa Monica Blvd. as a pilot?

5. Wayfinding project update

Nate has got good input from LA2B meetings, there is a web input resource at LA Bike Blog.

Focus will be on BFSs in first year, tho problem areas will also be addressed.

Sign installation will begin this year.

Regarding use of signs to assist cyclists finding significant private destinations, this is fully within the scope of what is envisioned.

6. Expo Bikeway

(Planning issues only; Bikeways Committee to take up design issues.)

Discussion of LADOT’s parking lot near Expo station, to be converted to joint-use parking structure with Expo parking. Good location for bike parking?

How much space is needed by Parking Enforcement building? Suitable location for bike commuter center? Seek advice from Santa Monica. Steve and Tim will inquire when they meet with SM staff.

Michelle: wants to get staff out there to explore it. Will be doing an in-house meeting.

Ck with Metro about cement plant property; who owns it?

» Make motion: need space for bike parking at LADOT lot, expandability of racks and lockers.

UPDATE: site visit later in week suggested the planned Expo / LADOT parking structure may be too far from station platforms to attract much use by cyclists, based on Metro’s experience of existing stations with similar facilities described by Lynne Goldsmith. There remains, however, a need to find space for expanding bike parking at the Sepulveda station area.

7. Crenshaw LRT bikeway. no report

8. NBC Universal project.

Submitting $18mil Tiger grant for LA River Bikeway Network which would bring the path right up to Univsal’s property. This argues strongly for the path to continue by Universal.

CBS also wants the bike path to jog around its property.

Additional items from Michelle:

Applied for grants for:

OTS grant for edu with CICLE.

Caltrans planning grant for outreach in south LA with LACBC.

Three Safe Routes to School granta:

Helmel area

Pacoima on Pierce

Multi-use trail in LA River headwaters area
