A motion to adopt the Bicyclist & Pedestrian Advisory Commission meeting minutes from August 17, 2017 was made (Tabata), seconded (Prinz), and approved by consent. Adopted minutes online at www.oaklandbikes.info/BPAC.
Item 3. Open Forum / Public Comment
Heidi Killeen expressed concern about the pedestrian crossing on Moraga Ave at Harbord Dr. There is no marked crosswalk and it is a challenging crossing. She is concerned for her children who walk to school and cross at this location. She understands that Moraga Ave is scheduled to be paved and wants to see if the paving project can address the pedestrian crossing issue.
Chris Kintner offered his thanks to the City for the pedestrian crossing improvements that were recently installed on Harrison St at 23rd St.

Item 4. Service Requests and Bike/Ped Issues [This item was originally scheduled as Item #5. It was heard as Item #4.] John McCabe, Technology Program Manager, described how public requests submitted to the Oakland Call Center or SeeClickFix are categorized and routed to the appropriate groups within City government. See the attached slide show. The number of requests has grown dramatically in recent years due to the growing use of SeeClickFix. Illegal dumping is by far the most common category of service request. The City uses CityWorks, a work management application, to log, route, and track service requests. Summary of discussion:
• Calls to the Oakland Call Center are answered by live operators. After hours, emergency calls are routed to operators at the Fire Dispatch Center to ensure that emergency requests are received immediately.
• The Call Center routes issues to the responsible City staff. The public doesn’t need to know who will solve the issue. They just need to locate and explain the issue.
• While the number of requests has increased dramatically, the staff and funding available to address those requests has remained relatively constant.
• SeeClickFix makes service requests visible to the public. This has the benefit of letting people see if their issue has already been reported. If it has, they can comment on the issue. The web-based interface facilitates civic discussion regarding the known issues.
• There is an interest in promoting the use of SeeClickFix amongst adjoining jurisdictions. Then a requester doesn’t need to know which jurisdiction the issue is in.
• Having data has changed the City’s work by making it easier to see and understand the types of issues and their extent. This can also help match needs to resources. For example, more resources may be needed if certain requests are taking longer to resolve, or if they are not getting resolved. The data have also made it possible to measure performance.
• It would be interesting to use CityWorks data for before/after comparisons in areas with major street projects.
• Requestors should hear back after issues are submitted, even if it has been forwarded to another agency or can’t be resolved.
Speakers other than commissioners: Carol Levine, Heidi Killeen Item 5. Stairpath Program Update [This item was originally scheduled as Item #4. It was heard as Item #5.] Eric Uddenberg from the DOT Great Streets Division presented stairpath locations currently prioritized for rehabilitation, and how locations were prioritized. See the attached handout. Oakland has approximately 220 stairpaths,39 of which have been significantly repaired since 2001. About 10% of the remaining stairpaths require no work, leaving ~159 that are prioritized for repair. The program is currently receiving around $360,000 in annual funding. To date, stairpaths were prioritized based on their physical condition and their proximity to services and residential density. Staff is proposing to add equity as a prioritization factor. Summary of discussion:
• In prioritizing locations, the density of surrounding homes is used as a proxy for use. In other words, the stairpaths with the most people living nearby are the stairpaths likely to get the most use.

• The design life of the rehabilitation projects is typically 50 years. This is typical across streets and buildings. It is also practical in that a longer design life would have higher construction costs.
• Transportation Development Act Article 3 has been a useful source of funding for stairpath projects. In recent years, less of this funding has been used. While the funding has generally been available, the staff time has not necessarily been available. As one example, the staff in the stairpath program play a lead role in storm season recovery, including emergency roadway repairs.
• Consultants could do more stairpath work. This is effective when consultants work in partnership with staff. But it is generally cheaper to do small projects in-house. Potentially, stairpath funds could be pooled to undertake a project with multiple locations that would make efficient use of consultants and staff time.
• A bike stair channel was recently designed as part of the project to rehabilitate the Shortcut, connecting Alvarado Rd into the parking lot at the Claremont Hotel. This design was based on best practices from other agencies (including BART), and a field visit to the 16th St/Mission BART station. (Commissioner Tabata participated in this field visit.) The stairpath program will now consider bike stair channels as a matter course for future projects where there is bicyclist demand and the basic design requirements can be satisfied.
Speakers other than commissioners: none Item 6. Public Works Committee Report Back BPAC Chair Ryan Chan described his presentation to, and response from, the Public Works Committee (PWC) on September 12, based on the annual report for 2016. Councilmembers asked about BPAC review of grant applications and about equity considerations in Oakland’s debut of bike share. The PWC requested that City staff prepare a response to the BPAC annual report and present it at the December committee meeting. The 2017 BPAC Annual Report should be scheduled for a Public Works Committee meeting in early 2018. Summary of discussion:
• BPAC review of grant applications is a work in progress. Review is generally happening, but in some cases a more detailed review would be beneficial. Sometimes this coordination is complicated by a grant deadline that does not match well with the BPAC’s monthly meeting schedule.
• BPAC had the opportunity to review and provide input on the bike share program, and was a strong voice for advancing equity goals through the service area and membership pricing.
• This was the first time that the BPAC annual report was presented to the PWC as a scheduled agenda item. This annual report provides a recurring mechanism to strengthen communications between BPAC and the Public Works Committee.
Speakers other than commissioners: none Item 7. BPAC Commissioner Recommendations There will be three BPAC vacancies as of January 2018. The Nominations Committee convened at the July 2017 meeting reviewed applications received through August 2017 and shared their recommendations. The committee included Commissioners Hwang, Villalobos, and Tabata, and one member of the public – Hector Chinchilla. See attachment from the Nominations Committee.

2018 BPAC Nomination Recommendations The 2018 BPAC Nominations Committee met on Thursday evening, September 14, 2017 to review and recommend candidates for the 2018-20 season. Due to technical difficulties, we could not link up with Hector Chinchilla, a member of the committee currently in El Salvador. By the close of August 31, 2017, the stated closing of the application period, we had received 23 applications through the Mayor’s office. Of the 23, 22 were eligible residents of Oakland. This was the largest number we have received from the most diverse group of residents. We thank all of them for taking the time to apply for the three open positions. We conducted a thorough review of the applications taking into account: Geography--where they resided in Oakland and were most familiar with Background--why they were interested in being part of the BPAC Experience--any prior experience with citizen advocacy organizations Gender/ethnicity (if available)--for diversity With that in mind, we are making the following recommendation: Highly recommended :
● Chris Hwang--Resident of Lakeshore area, current BPAC Commissioner, current president of WOBO, long time community advocate, fluent in multiple languages
● Mariana Parreiras--Resident of Temescal, long time community advocate, served on Technical Advisory Committee for Pedestrian Master Plan as part of position as Station Access Project Manager for Bart, fluent in multiple languages.
Recommended :
● Andrew Campbell--Resident of Piedmont Ave., member of NCPCs, concerned with safe non-automobile transit for children, he has 3 children, commutes daily by bike with 2 year old. He would provide added perspective of parent and children not being chauffeured in auto from point to point.
● Samantha Gottlieb--Resident of Longfellow Neighborhood, lifelong urban rider, beginning as child in New York, riding as a parent. She represents a different geographic area of Oakland, also the perspective of parent wanting to promote other means of transportation than auto.
● George Naylor--A long-time resident of Laurel District, uses all modes of transportation, is familiar with roads of Oakland and beyond as a cyclist and knows the challenges we face and the existing gaps in the network to ensure safe travel. He would be good to help bridge part of Oakland that hasn’t had much representation.
