9.C. - Page 2 <br /> developed looking at the Inner Harbor, but with more of a focus on learning how to <br /> engage the public. The students developed a website for the public to engage further in <br /> the process of looking at the Corridor. <br /> Based on public input from meetings with groups as varied as the adjoining <br /> neighborhoods to the Chamber of Commerce, the students developed a three <br /> conceptual ideas as a way to create a discussion and look at what uses might best <br /> support the community and, importantly in light of the General Plan, support a streetcar <br /> or other transit line. They then returned to the communities they had met with to see if <br /> they had captured to community's vision. <br /> From staff's perspective, the students' effort simply provides one way of looking at the <br /> corridor and perhaps some fresh ideas about how transit or other improvements could <br /> and would serve the future uses along that street. Stanford's John Donahoe assisted <br /> with the student effort, as well so potential impacts to Stanford's visions could be <br /> identified. <br /> The students' work is complete. They presented their ideas and findings from the <br /> community outreach to staff sitting as a mock Planning Commission. The City will <br /> receive a final package of the project effort that can be used to assist in the <br /> development of future analyses, such as environmental review for a streetcar system or <br /> a major complete streets project. <br /> ALTERNATIVES <br /> This report is informational only. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> There is no fiscal impact associated with this report. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br /> This is informational only, therefore Not a Project under CEQA <br /> BILL EKERN <br /> COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR <br /> ROBERT B.
