The revised <br /> striping plan wil! be incorparated as part of the 2005-2406 Street Overlay Project. <br /> Backgraund <br /> On September 11, 2Q06 the City Council awarded the construction con#rac# and <br /> approved the contract documents for the 2005-2006 Street Overfay Project. This <br /> project incfudes repaving and re-striping lndustrial Way b�tween Whipple Avenue and <br /> the north City limit/San Carlos border. <br /> Gurrentfy there are bicycle lanes on lndustrial Way to the north, in San Carios, which <br /> abruptly end at the Redwood City/San Carlos City limit line. This project offers a <br /> convenient opportunity to make changes to the [ane configuration to add bicycie lanes, <br /> with littie or no adciitional cost to the City, as the new surface must be re-striped <br /> anyway. <br /> On September 13, 2006, a community meeting was hosted by the Redwood Cify <br /> Gommunity Workirtg Graup on Bicycle & Pedestrian tssues; and facilitated by Gity staff <br /> and the Peninsula Conflict Resolution Center (PCRC), to present and discuss two <br /> propased lane configuration aI#erna#ives that would add bicycEe lanes on this segment <br /> of Industrial Way. Meeting notices were maifed out to �esidents and businesses in the <br /> area bordered by Whipple Avenue, Veterans Botaievard, the north City limi#, and Lenolt <br /> Street. Additionaliy, the Bicycle & Pedestrian Group distributed flyers door-to-doar to <br /> residences in the area bordered by Whipple Avenue, Lenolt Street, the north City/San <br /> Carlos border, and Stafford Street (Notification area map attached). This meeting was <br /> attended by twenty-one (21) members of the public, as weN as t�ree members of City <br /> staff, and three PCRC facilitators. A summary report of this meeting prepared by <br /> PCRC is attached for reference. <br /> The addition of bicycle lanes on this segmen# of Industriai Way will senre a key portion <br /> af the County-wide bicycle plan's North-South Bikeway, axtending the existing bicycle <br /> lanes in San Carlos south to Whipple Avenue, and bike lanes could eventually extend <br /> sauth of Whipple Avenue along Winslow Street, providing a connection to the <br /> dawntown area. The additian of bicycle lanes will involve coilabarat9on with the City of <br /> San Carios, in order to transition between the existing bike iane confiiguration in San <br /> Carlos and the new proposed lane ca�guration in Redwood City. City staff are <br /> coordinating this transition #a the proposed bike lane plan with San Carlos staff. <br /> Page 1 of 2 <br />
