CMO STAFF) Subject: Agenda Item#1 Dear Mayor and Councilmembers, I am writing because I am excited to see you taking the time to learn about the Huntington Beach Mobility Plan. This is exactly the kind of thing a city council SHOULD be working on. HB is a city that is full of active people (whether residents or tourists)who enjoy the beautiful climate that allows for traveling by means other than a car. However, it is very important that the city plans well to make that movement as safe as possible for all. It's also an important piece to an overall climate plan. More people moving around without using cars prevents carbon emissions, prevents rubber particulates from tires, and reduces the required maintenance on the roads. I am particularly concerned about ensuring non-automobile travel on routes to schools be enhanced. I fondly remember walking or riding my bike to school as a child. It's an important step for a child to begin having some independence. But with traffic as it is today, most of us would never consider letting our children have that independence. Thank you, Diane James i Moore, Tania From: Steven C Shepherd Architect <steve@shepherdarchitects.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 19, 2023 8:40 AM To: supplementalcomm@surfcity-hb.org; CITY COUNCIL(INCL. CMO STAFF) Subject: HB IN MOTION - STUDY SESSION Attachments: 230919 - HB IN MOTION - SCHOOL SAFETY CORRIDOR PLAN.pdf HB in Motion isn't about lycra-clad superathietes and fearless bike commuters. HB in Motion is about ordinary, everyday residents, and those residents have a message: Improve our streets NOW! • Let our kids safely walk or bike to school. • Let my elderly neighbors safely cross the street to get to our local park and • End the need for parents pushing strollers to sprint across wide arterial streets simply to get to the local playground. I see these ordinary HB residents-school children, senior citizens & parents- put in danger every day, and it is entirely unnecessary. We know how to make our streets safer, but in order to make this change, it must first be made a priority. I've heard a lot of talk about "protecting our children" and making our city safer. Well, if that's really what you want to do, we've gotta roll-up our sleeves and do the work to get it done! • Our school districts are doing the work by implementing the new e-bike safety and education programs. • Our Public Works department is doing the work by reconfiguring the beach path, Delaware St., and a short section of Springdale St. • What is our city council doing? Rather than just mindlessly complaining, I am here to help. I have attached a simple plan for a School Safety Corridor that would serve 18 different Huntington Beach K-12 schools with a pedestrian/bicycle route aimed at connecting our community and empowering our residents. If you're really serious about protecting our kids and improving public safety in Huntington Beach, this plan presents a straightforward and inexpensive way to do it.

Instead, it seeks to utilizes lesser used arterials with low (DIRECT CONNECT TO SCHOOL) existing traffic volumes. This zig-zag route connects the farthest southeastern extent of Huntington 111111 BEACH PATH BYPASS ROUTE Beach to the farthest northwestern corner. The BEACH PATH BYPASS ROUTE parallels our Beach Path and provides an alternate route for reaching DTHB. Having an alternate route could lessen congestion along the existing Beach Path and thereby improving safety. SECONDARY ARTERIAL - TYP AIM a 4 — _. • • 177 I ._.

Currently there is not a prioritized route for getting from one end of Huntington Beach to the other on foot or on a bicycle.The best case scenario for a cyclist attempting to navigate from southeast HB to northwest HB would be riding in a Class II Bike Lane on an arterials with significant traffic volume&vehicles traveling at 45mph and above.This is simply the way it is and has been for at least the last 20 to 25 years. A great deal of work has been done by HB Public Works to carve out more and more space for cyclists on our roadways. Unfortunately, these efforts are a patchwork of projects and do not provide a comprehensive route.

In order to obtain better results(more riders), I suggest that all funding&design efforts be concentrated on developing a central ped/bike spine running across HB. Within the existing rights-of-way of this route we should prioritize pedestrians and cyclists and use all available methods including traffic calming, &"hard" protected bike and walking paths.Vehicle traffic will still use these streets, but it will be limited to narrow single lanes that make it clear this is a space for pedestrian&cyclist first rather than an typical auto-centric domain.This SCHOOL SAFETY CORRIDOR would be design to serve casual cyclists like school children, novices,senior citizens& persons with disabilities.

CMO STAFF) Subject: PED/BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE NOW! Hello, I am messaging you to voice my thoughts on today's meeting topic as I will not be able to attend. Protected bike lanes offer several key benefits: Enhanced Safety:The primary advantage of protected bike lanes is the increased safety they provide for cyclists. Separating cyclists from motor vehicle traffic significantly reduces the risk of accidents and collisions. Encouraging Active Transportation:These lanes promote cycling as a sustainable and healthy mode of transportation. As we strive to reduce our carbon footprint and improve public health, encouraging more people to cycle is essential. Improved Accessibility: Protected bike lanes make it easier for people of all ages and abilities to cycle,enhancing mobility and access to various parts of the city. Economic Benefits:They can boost local businesses by making it easier for customers to reach shops and restaurants via bike.Additionally,the creation of bike lanes often enhances property values. However, recent events have highlighted the urgency of implementing and maintaining protected bike lanes.Just last week,a premeditated series of hit-and-runs occurred, resulting in the DEATH of one cyclist and the injury of two others.This devastating incident reminds us of the critical need to prioritize the safety of cyclists on our streets.We owe it to our community to provide safer alternatives for cyclists and pedestrians alike.Additionally I believe this is due to the mayor's harmful rhetoric of"The War on Cars" which I am asking we please put an end to. Thank you for your time and consideration. Let's work together to create a safer and more sustainable future for our community. 1 Switzer, Donna From: West Coast <coastw753@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 19, 2023 3:16 PM To: CITY COUNCIL (INCL. CMO STAFF); supplementalcomm@surfcity-hb.org Subject: Bike Lanes &Charter Meetings Dear City Council, I am writing to you in support of upgrading our bike lanes, crosswalks, and other non-motorway trails throughout the city. What was done on Warner between Algonquin and PCH should be the norm for all bike lanes in HB. People should be able to walk and bike safely throughout our city, and at present,that is not the case. Bike lines are narrow and unprotected. It's dangerous for children to bike to school. If you want to protect the children,this is one way to actually do it. I'm also writing to express my disappointment with Tony Strickland, and how he handled the first charter review meeting. We all saw the vote on the last council meeting- it was moved and seconded by the council-the discussion leading up to the vote was specifically setting up the charter meeting's structure&you ALL agreed to have 3 minutes per person public comments, then council would discuss what they heard, and finally the public would have another one minute per person to comment afterwards. This structure was even confirmed by staff in their comments/presentation on the date of the meeting itself. (Check the video) At the charter review meeting, the majority of public comments were staunchly against the proposed amendments. But Tony didn't want to talk about any of it.Why? In fact the public frequently speaks out against matters proposed by members of this council (Gracey's library policy for example), yet the majority members seem to only vote for the interests and whims of those who donate to their campaigns- regardless of input from the public at large. Why is that? Although I was not able to be at the last charter meeting, I am a 20 year HB resident and absolutely agree that these charter amendments are not needed. Please abandon this endeavor and focus on bike lanes and potholes. You're creating a problem to fix, and giving way too much control to the City Attorney's office. 1 Moore, Tania From: Estanislau, Robin Sent: Tuesday, September 19, 2023 4:32 PM To: Moore, Tania Subject: FW: Study Session on the Mobility Implementation Plan - HB in Motion Survey Results From: Russell Toler<russell.toler@gmail.com> Sent:Tuesday,September 19, 2023 3:01 PM To: CITY COUNCIL(INCL. CMO STAFF) <city.council@surfcity-hb.org>; Estanislau, Robin <Robin.Estanislau@surfcity- hb.org> Subject:Study Session on the Mobility Implementation Plan - HB in Motion Survey Results Re: Study Session on the Mobility Implementation Plan - HB in Motion Survey Results Mr. Mayor and Members of the City Council, I'm sorry that I'm not able to make it to the study session at 4pm today to speak in person, so I hope you'll take the time to read my letter. These comments are about mobility improvements throughout the city - not on the beach path. The latter is important to resolve, but it really is a different topic. My only immediate opinion is that "slow zones" is a great idea- since beach paths are like any other thoroughfare where it's the "turbulence" (differing speeds in proximity)that makes it stressful and dangerous. Huntington is generally flat, has near-perfect weather, has a strong and cool walking/biking culture, and most importantly - has a lot of people trying to get around on foot and bike, despite the often hostile, car-centric street environment they're in. It is also a place where drivers are regularly crashing into people who are walking or biking, inanimate objects, and other cars. Every time I'm in Huntington I marvel at the sheer amount of right of way that is wholly dedicated to the fast- movement of cars. Given the high speeds of cars compared to human-scaled modes (walking and bicycling), this space must remain vacant at all times - leaving the spaces always off limits for anything or anyone else, and leaving the edges bleak and uncomfortable. Although it's been like this for our whole lives, this is really a 100- year-old experiment in city planning and governance. I understand that some of the leadership in Huntington is concerned about a potential erosion of driving i convenience. However,the freedom to zip around the city in a car is really an instance of freedom to only a portion of the population. It comes with a significant amount of costs (expensive infrastructure, crashes), and comes at the expense of the convenience of everyone else who would like to be free to move about the city - those who don't, can't, or shouldn't drive. Further, whether people appreciate the single-mode transportation system currently in place or not, it forces people to be dependent on driving (whether they should drive or not) and all its costs(whether they can afford it or not). It should also be noted that making streets comfortable for everyone does not have to affect driving convenience at all. When you design a city for cars it fails for all, including drivers. When you design a multimodal city it works for all, including drivers. - Brent Toderian, Former Vancouver Chief Planner I would strongly encourage the leadership to adopt the appropriate policies and invest in making other modes more safe, comfortable, and convenient for more people. With the amount of space in Huntington's ROWs,this would often not require any reallocation of traffic lanes: lanes can be 10'-11'wide and have the added benefit of curbing speeding (thus making crashes less likely and less severe when they happen). The results from the survey are clear that people feel safest on bike lanes where there is physical protection. Intersections are obviously tricky, but luckily Huntington doesn't have to reinvent the wheel. While cities have been retrofitting intersections all over the world to make them more safe,the National Association of Transportation Officials has even released a free guide on the topic. Here in Costa Mesa, we recently installed leading pedestrian intervals at key intersections throughout the city. This has really improved the comfort of people crossing the street on foot! To say a quick word on e-bikes, here are my thoughts: • Don't let this topic hijack the discussion on safe streets. Cars make streets dangerous and have for decades. The introduction of e-bikes should not overshadow the task of resolving this. • Through a myriad of ways,but especially our infrastructure and site planning,we've spent decades sending our kids poor messaging: that driving is what serious, responsible people do, and biking is what irresponsible and obnoxious people do. If we were to invest a fraction of the amount of time and money and energy that we spend on trying to make "safe" driving environments and "safe" drivers into making safe bicycling infrastructure and safe riders,maybe we wouldn't have such a problem. But our education efforts are likely to end in frustrating embarrassment when we have to explain to riders the absurdities that are actually expected of them(like taking a lane in fast traffic) or that there is no reasonable thing to do with themselves other than get into a car when their infrastructure disappears. In other words -what else do we expect than wild behavior?I was lucky enough to visit Germany and the Netherlands over the summer, and although bikes are ubiquitous and e-bikes are available, I did not see the reckless e-bike problem that we see here -at all! Please don't dismiss my or any other safe streets advocate, thinking that we're part of some larger agenda. This conversation is purely about wise stewardship of our public spaces. This is not, and should not be made a partisan issue. I believe that Huntington can do much better, and I hope that you can be a part of the improvement. As a final note, I want to emphasize the importance of doing whatever you can to decrease car-dependency before any significant increases in population, as it will be much more difficult to fix things later. 2 Thanks for reading and have a great day!
