This wall has kept the neighborhood free from excessive traffic. If a bicyclist needs to access Po1ial A venue from Perimeter Road they just need to ride down to either Portal Plaza to cut tlu·ough to Portal A venue or down to Stevens Creek (next to P011al Plaza) to an EXISTING bike lane. We all know the bicyclists do not follow the flow of car traffic. Cutting into Wheaton only saves a ONE BLOCK ride at most. I have repeatedly seen bicyclists riding in the middle of Portal , sometimes 2 -3 riders across . Having Wheaton as a cut through to Perim eter Road would make driving down Wheaton or backing out of driveways difficult with the unnecessary bicyclists . It's bad enough having to follow multiple riders clown Portal trying to get to Stevens Creek or clown to Merritt Drive . Also Apple bi cyc li st s seem to h ave a h a bit of riding on th e sidewalks. I believe City code only p ermits rid e rs 12 and under to ride on si d ewa lks. Yet many "adults" are riding on s id ewalk s along resid ential streets and Stevens C r eek . If you open th e wall for bikes , surely cars will be next. One of the biggest concerns every time a d eve lopm ent is proposed at Vallco i s the privacy, safety and noi se should the wall be opened. Also no one lrnows what w ill r e ally go into V a llco , do we. Should the tlu·eat ened office and apartments actually appear the opening in the wall will have a constant flow of traffic onto a once quiet neighborhood street. To repeat: do not open the wall no matter how small an opening .

All Received latest SCENE today , was shocked to see the Junipero Serra Trail map proposal. Not sure who came out the idea to use Wheaton Drive/Portal Ave as trail bypass. SandHill/Vallco? City planners? This is absolutely ridiculous idea/design , it just does not make sense to utilize closed residential area . By natural , the trial can go straight, using Perimeter Road to Stevens Creek Blvd without going though any residential area . why needs to make a turn to Wheaton Drive/Portal Ave , is it because that's what SandHill wants, so SandHill can tear down the wall. Please don't not pass Wheaton Drive/Portal Ave route.

The Junipero Serra Trail is a key component of the Cupertino Loop, a major feature of our Bicycle Plan . After careful review of the final report, I fully endorse this feasibility study , but would like to propose the following recommendations to make the project more fiscally responsible . (also discussed in Appendix Part 1 (page 148 ff)) 1) Implementation of the overall trail alignment next to the channel (Alternative #1) , instead of covering the channel {Alternative #2). The consultant has confirmed this is possible, except in a small segment where the width requires the channel to be covered. 2) To implement the De Anza Blvd crossing as an At Grade Crossing #1 instead of a new Bicycle /Pedestrian Bridge over De Anza Blvd. The consultant also has confirmed this is possible, and is one of the options studied. According to the consultant, these two modifications will bring the overall construction cost for this project to under $10 Mio. Cupertino is making great progress towards a safer place to bike and walk , and this trail will provide a critical and safe East-West off-street connectivity, including connectivity to Sunnyvale via the Don Burnett bridge . With these modifications, the project is both respectful of the impact to neighborhoods , as well as fiscally responsible.

I reviewed the Junipero Serra Feasibility study and I have few comments on the document that is relevant for today's City council meeting agenda item # 16 and proposed resolution. I am neither in support nor oppose the feasibility study, but provide my independent analysis as a community member. The Feasibility Study recommends Alternate 2, a Class 1 Multi-use trail that would cost $45.2 Million. The original cost estimated in 2016 Bike transportation plan was $2.293 Million. To give you a perspective, the total of all the tier 1, tier 2 and tier 3 projects combined is $18.331 Million per 2016 Bike Plan. It should be noted that the City of Cupertino needs to take over all the maintenance operations of the trail from the Water district as per the recommended option. The total cost of $45.2 M does not include the recurring operational costs that the City has to bear. To make a decision, the estimated operational should have been included in the feasibility Study. This project needs to have regulatory approvals from US Army Corps of Engineers, California State Department of Fish and Wildlife and the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board. The estimated cost if any should be included. The Residents next to the Creek have raised Security and Privacy concerns and the feasibility study proposes security fencing along the trail alignment. Number of homes impacted should be noted in the study. No analysis has been provided on the estimated number of trail users that would us@ this trail when constructed. As per 2016 Bike Plan, 0.7% of people use bikes for commuting (ACS 5 -year estimate is 178 commuters out of 25,380 employed population in Cupertino). What would be the estimated increase in percentage of commuters when $45.2 Million is invested on this project. A quantitative analysis should be provided in the study for public to understand the cost/benefit and return on investment for the project. Due to the geography of the trail and accessibility to neighbors, this trail may not increase the number of students for commuting to school, but could increase commute to Apple. Alternate 2: The Study recommends Alternate 2, a Class 1 Multi-use trail as set out in the 2016 Bike Plan. This alternative involves converting the Junipero Serra Channel into an underground box culvert. This is the option that meets the trail and safety standards for a shared use path as described in the Study. Alternate 1: This alternative uses existing maintenance road that is narrower than 14 feet for most part of the trail (7. 5 feet to 14 feet), requires guard rails to avoid hazardous conditions for trail users and does not meet the Class 1 Standards for safe Multi-use path. As per the Study, due to the SCVWD's position on guardrails, alternative #1 is not feasible as currently envisioned in this study. Hence the study highlights this option as a pedestrian only for significant length of the trail alignment. To give a perspective, after providing clearance for railings, shoulder etc., some of the paved stretches will be narrower than regular sidewalks. Alternate 1 has many issues as highlighted in the Study, and in my opinion is not worth the investment. If the Council decides to move ahead with this project, the right option would be Alternate 2 that is recommended by the Study, which would cost $45.2M . At this time, the staff is not asking for any funds, so what is the rationale behind approving the feasibility Study now. Does it mean, if the Study is approved, the City will come back in the 2019-20 FY or in future years and ask to appropriate funds for the design and construction. Even if the City explores other funding sources, the public would like to know the total estimated cost for the City. The resolution asks for approving the feasibility Study. So the question is, why the Council cannot just Accept the Study and give directions to the City on how to proceed with the project. What does it mean when the Council approves the Study. The resolution is not clear on what is the final outcome of approving the Study.

As outcomes of the 2016 Bicycling Plan, protected bike lanes are coming on key corridors, and walking/biking trails are being studied. Regnart Creek Trail was the first to be proposed . With great insight the prior council funded the feasibility study for that trail. Next up, on your agenda this evening, is the Junipero Serra Trail. I urge you to vote yes to fund this feasibility study. This trail has many advantages including connecting Apple campuses and enabling East-West traffic to flow without requiring auto transit. That would reduce congestion on our fully utilized streets. Enabling/encouraging more people to exercise and improve health are also a valuable side benefit. But as is common with any change, there are forces afoot to block these community amenities. Nearby homeowners will be vocal about their fears. They boil down to (1) security and (2) privacy . But do these fears actually hold water? Regarding security, let me share my experience. My house backs up onto the UPRR tracks, which are a de facto trail . The trail actually enhances security. That's because every day at least lOOX more eyeballs watch my house in contrast to standard iso lated tract homes. Empirical evidence also supports this. Captain Urena of the Sheriff's department has stated no crime issues have been see n in other trail sectors such as Blackberry Farms, Orogrande and Creekside Park. Regarding privacy, that can certainly b e mitigated with fencing as needed . The costs should be included in the fe as ibility study . In conc lu sion, please vote to fund the f easibi lity study for the Junipero Serra Trail.

It's not intended to resolve many of the iss ues that will ine vi tabl y arise-and be resolved- during the design process. This includes the use of bo x culverts in spec ific areas along the trail where there isn 't enough width for maintenance otherwise. Based on this, approving the Feasibility Study Option I-knowing that the design will need to resolve the concerns of the Water District (and residents)-is an acceptab le decision. It 's the one that I wi ll be speaking in support of tomorrow night, and th e one that the Bike Ped Commission a lso s upports. The SCVWD has shown to be a good working partner to our city and to other local cities , so I am co nfident that these issues can be resolved. And , importantly , approv in g the Feasibility Study do es not mean that funds are set as ide for construction. After the design is created, then th ere will be another opportun ity to decide whether it has resolved o r mitigated everyone's concerns. Thanks for checking in with me about the trail options. I appreciate th e time you tak e to understand these issues . Best Wishes, Jennifer
