8.A. - Page 37 of 77 Online Engagement The team developed an online interactive survey tool using the same materials from the pop-up workshops to bring the experience of the in-person workshops online. People could view the large -format poster boards online and record their preferences on potential needs and improvements, such as desired routes, gaps and barriers; important destinations; the preferred look and feel of the protected bike lanes; and other design preferences. This tool was open between late -March and early -May 2018 to coincide with the first round of outreach. Over 100 comments were collected through the online project survey. The survey was linked through the City's project web page, which also included project status updates and a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) document that was created to address comments and questions that emerged during the course of study. Stakeholder Engagement Gathering input from stakeholders unique to the EI Camino corridor was key to achieving a cohesive vision for the study corridor. Stakeholders included agencies involved with the Grand Boulevard Initiative as well as the Complete Streets Advisory Committee in Redwood City. Neighborhood Roundtable Discussion As part of the first round of public outreach, a roundtable discussion was hosted at City Hall with representatives from the neighborhood associations adjacent to the study segment on the evening of Thursday, March 29th. Neighborhoods of Central, Palm, Redwood Oaks, Stambaugh - Heller, Redwood Village, Downtown, and Roosevelt were invited to attend. The discussion included an update on past efforts such as the EI Camino Real Corridor Plan, progress on the current safety study, as well as information on how to provide additional input on the study. Attendees were invited to share input on general issues and opportunities and specific topics used at the pop- up events; they were encouraged to provide any additional input through an online survey and to spread the word to the rest of their neighborhood association. Highlights from the input shared from the group include: General issues/opportunities Visibility at intersections is challenging due to above -ground utility boxes While bicycle and pedestrian volumes are perceived to be lower on this segment compared to EI Camino to the north, improvements within the study segment are needed since drivers may not expect as many bikes and pedestrians to be present Include coordination with existing signals if pedestrian hybrid beacons are installed; there's a concern they will impact vehicle delay Maple Street intersection: The pedestrian signal at Maple Street is a long wait, which is believed to cause people to cross at Lincoln instead Laurel Street/ Hazel Avenue: The westbound right at Laurel St is a congested movement for vehicles (heading north on EI Camino) • The set -back crosswalk at Hazel Avenue (on westbound slip lane) is a safety concern; This crosswalk is perceived to have more pedestrians than Laurel Street. Woodside Underpass: • Improved lighting perceived to be bare minimum needed to feel comfortable walking here 186 22
