Mr. Dave Weinstein, Stanford's Associate Dean, Graduate School of Business, spoke about the classes they will offer here, and how they have enjoyed working closely with city Staff to craft a unique set of programs that align their needs and the city's needs. They currently have about 20-open enrollment programs that focus on improving the leadership skills and business acumen of program participants. They are developing an entrepreneurial boot camp program for local Redwood City businesses, introducing a management program for city Staff, and introducing networking entrepreneurship events for the community as well as providing some open enrollment seats. Mr. Dave Lenox, Stanford University Campus Architect, spoke about ensuring that they have a strong vision and campus plan that supports the vision of the University. He works with many others to develop inspiring architecture and he spoke in detail about their Project aspirations (presentation on file) in creating a great campus in Redwood City that integrates Stanford's and the city's values, qualities and goals for success. He went over their current concept plan and their Project design vision that included the identity of the city and Stanford respectively; having contemporary, warm, scaled buildings with integration of interior and exterior spaces; streetscape improvements; facades; road improvements that include burying power lines; wider sidewalks with landscape setbacks and water management; being sustainable and including artwork; having a promenade for the campus and the surrounding community with passive recreation; and, having shuttles to go downtown and for transport to and from the train station. Mr. Elliot expressed their thanks to Staff, the Planning Commission and City Council and said he looks forward to working together for many years to come. In answer to a question posed earlier by a Council Member, he said that traffic management is an important concern for everyone throughout the peninsula and he noted that many of their employees are used to, expect and challenge them daily for great transportation options. He said that the Precise Plan outlines many traffic improvements: street extensions and alternatives; shuttle service (TDM) program; continuous monitoring required for continuous improvement; extensive intersection mitigation; bike lanes; neighborhood enhancements; bus stops required; and, traffic management in terms of lowering drive alone rates and proximity to the Caltrain station. A Council Member expressed concern about there being enough parking incorporated so that there is no spillover into the surrounding neighborhoods. Mr. Elliot responded that there will be adequate parking on campus, both structured and underground parking, and that they will work towards keeping the drive alone rate down. Another Council Member asked for more information on their commitment to traffic impact mitigation within neighborhoods and surrounding cities and to talk about what they have done that is successful such as the Marguerite Shuttle. Mr. Elliot said Stanford operates the Marguerite Shuttle, which is free to everyone, not just Stanford employees, and it is an extensive, evolving and growing shuttle route that primarily goes to Caltrain stations along California Avenue, Palo Alto downtown and the Menlo Park station. This Council Member added that Stanford is not only improving traffic and CITY COUNCIL September 9, 2013 MEETING MINUTES PAGE 8 MINUTE BOOK NO. 64 Page No. 427
