M .G. - Page 8 MTSTREETS -- - Neighborhood Street Enhancement Program Implementation Plan • Other issues or insights regarding the project Workshop #1 The first workshops introduced participants to the project background and the purpose of the study. Participants first identified areas of concerns and preferred traffic and beautification solutions. Community concerns regarding specific locations varied between neighborhoods, but parking, speeding, cut -through traffic, beautification, and school safety were common themes shared between groups, including online survey participants. Street lights, high visibility crosswalks, traffic circles, bulb -outs, pedestrian and bicycle pathways, and flashing beacons stood out as preferred solutions. Online Survey In order to collect additional input from residents on enhancements that would create more livable streets, residents of the Friendly Acres, Redwood Village, and North Fair Oaks neighborhoods will be asked to complete a survey regarding Neighborhood Streets Program funds. Workshop #2 The second workshops allowed participants to rank and prioritize the concepts developed by the consultant in response to their concerns and preferences, with consideration for cost and feasibility. Participants of the workshops were also asked to provide additional suggestions or comments, which were then developed into additional feasible improvements. These were also considered as part of the final project prioritization effort. Project Recommendations Overview Projects identified and ranked through the community outreach process were ultimately prioritized based on the following key considerations: • Neighborhood preference; • Enhanced level of safety; • Enhanced level of neighborhood identity, form, and appearance; and, • City and County policies on infrastructure development. Based on the NESP fund allocation methodology, the $600,000 for immediate improvements and $750,000 for near-term improvements were to be distributed evenly between the three neighborhoods. Projects costs were assigned their respective neighborhood or, where there was a demonstrable mutual benefit, shared between neighborhoods. Based on these funding and allocation constraints, and the key prioritization considerations above, improvements were ultimately split into three categories. Immediate (High Priority) Improvements are highly preferred by the community members and will be funded with impact fees (— $600,000) from the first phase of the Stanford University office campus project. Concepts identified in community workshops were refined in to feasible and implementable projects. Click for project lists and location maps. TJKM Page 13
