8.B. - Page 9 of 70 <br />The study findings and analyses for expanding the current shuttle services and implementing an urban <br />circulator will inform the upcoming planning and community engagement work for the Transit District and <br />Central Redwood City visioning process. <br />More information about the Broadway Streetcar/Urban Circulator Study is available on the Project <br />webpage. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no financial impact from accepting the findings of the Broadway Streetcar / Urban Circulator and <br />Transit Center Redesign studies; however, further feasibility analysis for one or both approaches would <br />require additional funding which has not been allocated to date, and proceeding to construction and <br />operation would require substantial resources which have not been identified. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br />Accepting planning studies is not a project under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as defined <br />in CEQA Guidelines, section 15378, because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or reasonably <br />foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Any projects stemming from these studies would <br />undergo the required environmental review. <br />PUBLIC NOTICE <br />Public Notification was achieved by posting the agenda, with the agenda items being listed, at least 72 <br />hours prior to the meeting. Extensive community outreach was completed in the development of both of <br />the studies, and they were reviewed with the Transportation Advisory Committee on June 11, 2019 and <br />downtown interest groups as well. Staff notified Caltrain, SamTrans and downtown interest groups of this <br />agenda item, and the public, major employers, downtown interest groups and transportation partners <br />will be invited to participate in the Community Visioning Process and in the development of the Sequoia <br />Station Transit Plan <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />The City Council may choose not to accept the Transit Center Redesign and Broadway Streetcar Feasibility <br />Studies' findings. <br />ATTACH M E NTS <br />Attachment A - Transit Center Redesign Study — Draft Summary Report <br />Attachment B - Broadway Streetcar / Urban Circulator Study — Draft Final Report <br />Page 9 of 10 <br />City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.ore <br />552 <br />
