8.B. - Page 17 <br />4. Should the implementation section includes metrics to determine if an action is <br />successful? <br />Yes, metrics are the only way to decide how to iterate improvements and <br />implementation actions. This data would help determine if the Plan is successful <br />and whether these policies could be replicated elsewhere. <br />The Commission recommended that the City Council adopt the EI Camino Real Corridor <br />Plan. Public comments received for this meeting are available here. <br />Stakeholder Interviews <br />The City held stakeholder interviews to solicit input from people with varying <br />perspectives such as property owners, residents, brokers, affordable housing <br />representatives, agencies (SamTrans, Caltrans), environmental groups, bike advocates, <br />business and environmental groups. On September 20, 2016, the Consultant held eight <br />sessions (each approximately 50 minutes each) with groups of approximately five <br />people, for a total 34 stakeholders. A summary of these interviews is provided in the <br />published Stakeholder Interviews Report. <br />Online Survevs <br />The City developed two online surveys to solicit community feedback. <br />1. Transit Survev (3 -week period in November 2016) was more general and <br />intended to raise awareness about studies currently underway (EI Camino Real <br />Corridor Plan, Broadwav Streetcar Studv, and Transit Center Studv) and obtain <br />preliminary feedback on the community's priorities. The questions focused on how <br />people currently use EI Camino Real and the Transit Center (CalTrain) and <br />suggested improvements to each. The City received 353 responses to the survey. <br />2. EI Camino Real Corridor Plan Survev (3 -week period in May 2017) focused on <br />potential design options for retail areas, modes of mobility, and placemaking. The <br />question posed options and tradeoffs to better understand how the community <br />would like to prioritize use of the corridor. The City received a total of 612 <br />responses to the survey. <br />Business Outreach <br />Given the importance of business support as part of the Corridor Plan, staff made a <br />concentrated effort to meet with businesses and their employees directly. To that end, <br />postcards were mailed to businesses located on EI Camino Real and staff went door-to- <br />door and met with over fifty businesses. In addition, staff provided presentations to the <br />Downtown Business Group and Chamber of Commerce. <br />
