Cupertino City Council
Cupertino City Manager
10350 Torre Ave
Cupertino, CA 95014
Honorable Mayor Scharf, Vice Mayor Paul, Council Members Chao, Sinks, and Willey, and City Manager
Feng:
We thank you for approving the two-story conceptual design for the expansion of the Cupertino Library
to include programming and community gathering space. We appreciate Council’s commitment to
construct a venue that will serve the community admirably for years to come. We thank you for
Council’s 11/19/2019 budget amendment to increase allocations for the Library Room Expansion
project by $3,000,000.
The Cupertino Library is already the most popular library in the Santa Clara County Library District by
count of both annual patron visits and circulation of materials. Even without breaking ground on the
expansion, we have high demand for parking spaces in the shared lot for City Hall, Community Hall, and
the Library (civic center parking lot). We expect the demand for convenient access to the Library will
increase when construction for the expansion begins, especially as the construction project will require
nearby access for equipment, deliveries, and materials staging.1
Concerns related to parking and library access have been documented in an email thread initiated by a
library patron and including responses from Mayor Scharf, City Manager Feng, and Library
Commissioners Vasanth and Crabtree (Attachments A and B). The Library Commission has addressed
parking and library access multiple times in meetings and in conversations with the public. We
appreciate the City’s initiative to raise awareness among residents about access challenges to the
Cupertino Civic Center through the promotion of the community survey “How do you travel to and from
Cupertino Civic Center?” (www.opentownhall/8031, running now through Friday, 12/20/2019). We look
forward to engaging with the City regarding the results of the survey.
SSuggestions for Improving Access to the Cupertino City Center
Today, we have suggestions we hope Council will to consider for improving access for all to the
Cupertino Civic Center, including improved access to the Cupertino Library:
•Item 1. Through media and community outreach channels, encourage Cupertino residents to use
alternative forms of transportation whenever possible when traveling to the library. Walk,
scooter, skateboard, bike, take the bus, or travel by Via-Cupertino transport
(https://www.cupertino.org/our-city/departments/public-works/transportation-
mobility/community-shuttle), Cupertino’s new, on-call shuttle system. On Saturday, 12/28/2019,
1 When available, we look forward to review of the results from the assessment supporting “parking needs and traffic mitigation,” authorized by
Council on 6/18/2019 and to be completed as part of the Civic Center Master Plan.

VTA introduces its Redesigned New Service (newservice.vta.org). Beginning on 12/28/2019, VTA
Routes 23, 25, 53, 55, 56, 523 will all run within a half-mile or less from the Cupertino Library,
making the bus a great transportation choice for people mobile enough to travel a short distance
on their own from where they exit their ride to the Cupertino Civic Center.
•IItem 2. Work with bicycle advocacy groups, including but not limited to the Cupertino Bicycle
and Pedestrian Commission, Walk-Bike Cupertino, and the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition, to
encourage educational programs to teach new cyclists how to select a strong bicycle lock and
how to use a strong lock to secure a bicycle to deter theft. Recent anecdotal surveys of bicycles
parked at the Cupertino Civic Center revealed many bicycles that are not locked or are not
locked securely. Unfortunately, but not surprising, anecdotal reporting of bicycle theft at
Cupertino Civic Center also reveals that thefts in the area are common.
•Item 3. Through media and community outreach channels, encourage Cupertino residents who
do drive to Cupertino Civic Center to consider parking or dropping off/picking up visitors to the
area on a nearby neighborhood street, including Whitney, Silverado, Clay, Antoinette, Farallone,
John, or Pacifica. It’s a short walk across Library Field or along Torre Ave to these streets. When
possible, encourage Cupertino residents to leave the spaces in the lot for people with mobility
challenges.
•Item 4. Work with the Cupertino Union School District to allow overflow parking from the
Cupertino Civic Center at the Eaton Elementary School lots in late afternoons, evenings, and
weekends when the activity at the Library peaks and school is not in session. Add wayfinding
signs to the school lot entrances identifying when overflow parking is permitted and directing
pedestrians to the Cupertino Civic Center.
•Item 5. Consider opportunities to add a designated passenger loading and unloading zone near
the Cupertino City Center. Share use of the loading and unloading zone among private vehicles,
Via-Cupertino shuttles, and ride-hailing services.
•Item 6. Recognize Library Field as the treasured recreational space that it is by dropping “Field”
from its name and formally designating the land as a park. Residents value the recreational space
at Library Field for play, walking, cricket, soccer, volleyball, and for the benefits it provides as a
shade oasis. It is imperative that as the community work through its long-term behavior changes
affecting transportation, the City prioritizes the preservation of its limited and valued open space
above the addition of ground level parking.
Thank you for your consideration of the Library Commission’s suggestions to improve the public’s ease
of access to facilities located in the Cupertino Civic Center.
Sincerely,

As promised in our 12/5/2020 communication to you, attached, please find the letter from the Library
Commission to address the misuse of time‐limited parking stalls in the civic center parking lot.
Also, Library Commissioners learned this week that the Cupertino Library will be one of five destination
libraries featured in the 2020 Library 2 Library Bicycle Tour happening on Saturday, 1/18/2020. The 2020
Bicycle Tour is sponsored by the San Jose Public Library and usually includes library destinations throughout
2
the County. The ride itself is approximately 30 miles. The topic of the bicycle tour was introduced Wednesday
evening during the Library Commission meeting as part of staff and commissioner reports. Cupertino
Community Librarian Clare Varesio has responded that the Cupertino Library will offer reception to the tour
participants. For information about the event, registration, and a place to post comments, see:

Cupertino Library Commission
10185 N Stelling Rd
Cupertino, CA 95014
January 10, 2020
Cupertino City Council
Cupertino City Manager
10350 Torre Ave
Cupertino, CA 95014
Honorable Mayor Scharf, Vice Mayor Paul, Council Members Chao, Sinks, and Willey, City Manager
Feng, and Assistant City Manager Thompson:
As you are aware, we have high demand for parking spaces in the shared lot for City Hall,
Community Hall, and the Library (civic center parking lot). And, on some occasions, visitors to the
area misuse time-limited and charging station parking spaces.
The Cupertino Library served more than 900,000 patrons in 2019—the most patrons served of all
libraries within the SCCLD. Misuse of time-limited parking stalls exacerbates traffic congestion,
which affects the safety of everyone trying to get in and out of the lot. Vehicles stop as passengers
are being picked up or dropped off. Vehicles stop while books are being dropped off. Vehicles stop
when anyone pulls in or out of a time-limited (or any) parking stall.
Library Commissioners have made anecdotal observations of parking behavior in the 4-minute stalls
located near the book drop and note visitors using the spaces for activities not related to returning
books and often lasting longer than the four minutes permitted. For example, visitors park in the 4-
minute stalls to wait for passengers who are inside the library or to exit their vehicles and enter a
building in civic center plaza, presumably for a task that they expect to complete quickly. However,
these non-book return activities sometimes take much longer than visitors anticipate. As a result, we
observe some vehicles parked in 4-minute stalls for 30 minutes or more.
In the past year, Library Commissioners have met with and traded communication with
representatives from Code Enforcement and Public Works to address community concerns
regarding the parking situation in the civic center parking lot, including misuse of the 4-minute
stalls. We appreciate the time invested and the thoughtful responses we have received from all staff
members who have helped commissioners address parking and congestion concerns in the civic
center parking lot.
With prompt assistance from City staff, we have added two A-frame signs near the book drop to
encourage visitors to respect the time-limit assigned to parking spaces closest to the book drop
(Attachment A). We believe the signs will be more effective if Code Enforcement could
intermittently monitor use of the 4-minute stalls, especially during evening and weekend hours
when the library is busiest. Perhaps it would be possible that when visiting the civic center parking
lot, Code Enforcement could monitor usage of the charging station stalls (are parked vehicles
charging or just parked?) and the bike racks (are bicycles locked securely? is there suspicious
activity happening near the parked bicycles?).
2 / 15
However, with assistance from previous Library Commission liaison Kim Calame and guidance from
Code Enforcement representative Gulu Sakhrani, we understand that the Code Enforcement team
is not staffed to patrol the civic center parking lot on evenings and weekends (Attachment B), which
reduces the ability of the City to hold accountable those who misuse the 4-minute and charging
station stalls.
SSuggestions to Address Misuse of Time-limited Parking Stalls in the Civic
Center Parking Lot
Option 1
Consider increasing headcount for Code Enforcement to support intermittent weekend and
evening monitoring of time-limited parking stalls, including but not limited to misuse of the 4-
minute stalls and charging station stalls. Use the additional headcount to support weekend and
evening monitoring of Civic Center Plaza generally, including detection of suspicious activity near
the bike racks.
Option 2
Replace two (2) of the 4-minute book return stalls with 10-minute loading and unloading stalls. (In
total, offer two [2] 4-minute book return stalls and two [2] 10-minute loading and unloading stalls
for short-stay use.) Today, Civic Center Plaza has no designated passenger or equipment loading
and unloading zones. Instead, drivers often queue up behind the 4-minute book return stalls to load
or unload passengers or equipment. Or, drivers use the 4-minute book return stalls for passenger or
equipment loading and unloading.
Note1: Library commissioners discussed Option 2 extensively and have accepted guidance from Cupertino
Community Librarian Clare Varesio, who suggested that patrons generally do not respond favorably to
changes that could be perceived as a loss of amenities or services. For example, we considered an option to
remove the 4-minute stalls entirely because the time limit is unenforceable during library peak use times
under current Code Enforcement funding allocations. We also considered removing the 4-minute stalls
because of traffic bottlenecks and safety hazards caused by frequent in-and-out activity in an already busy
parking lot. However, we recognize removing the option for short-stay parking does not resolve the
underlying needs patrons have to return books or drop-off or collect passengers or equipment quickly.
Instead, we suggest acknowledging the community’s needs for short-stay parking in the Civic Center Parking
lot through signage and code enforcement, when possible.
Option 3
Consider a reconfiguration of the civic center parking lot to accommodate:
(a) easier and more efficient entry and exit to and from most parking stalls (replace perpendicular
parking with angled parking);
(b) the addition of a multi-use lane for short-stay parking, including access to the automated book
returns and for community shuttle and private vehicle passenger or equipment loading and
unloading;
(c) the addition of a dedicated lane for driver-side access to a standalone book drop box.
3 / 15
(See Attachment C for a rough parking lot redesign suggestion.)
NNote2: Under Option 3, the 4-minute book return stalls are removed and replaced with short-stay lane
parking that can accommodate efficient book return access and passenger or equipment loading and
unloading, eliminating the need for vehicles to back out of parking stalls and reducing the likelihood of traffic
bottlenecks and collisions. From guidance offered by Assistant City Manager Dianne Thompson, Library
Commissioners understand that replacing perpendicular “head-in” parking with angled parking can result in a
net loss of about 10% of the total number of parking stalls. However, we believe the overall safety and ease-
of-use improvements that result from the implementation of an angled parking design and the addition of
single-direction pull-out lanes for short-stay uses are well worth the net loss of total parking spaces. We also
note that numerous high-traffic, public parking lots in the area include angled parking.
Option 4
Maintain the status quo. Keep the 4-minute stalls and rely on the A-frame signs to encourage
awareness of time-limited parking constraints as well as compliance without additional patrols of
the civic center parking lot by Code Enforcement.
The library expansion project will affect the community’s use of the civic center parking lot. In our
letter today, we hope to have offered short-term and longer-term suggestions for mitigating trouble
spots affecting library patron and resident use of the civic center parking lot. Please also refer the
Library Commission’s letter to Council and the City Manager dated 12/5/2019 for suggestions
about how to encourage and promote walking, biking, community shuttle use, public transit use,
and neighborhood or off-site parking as preferred travel methods or support ideas for visitors to
Civic Center Plaza destinations.
Thank you for your consideration of opportunities to improve the public’s ease of access to facilities
located in Civic Center Plaza.

Dear Roger Lee and Whitney Zeller:
Roger, thank you for taking the time to consider the Library Commission's suggestions for improving safety,
bicycle security, and pedestrian, cyclist, and vehicle access to Civic Center Plaza destinations. I do appreciate
the attention you, the Public Works Dept and representatives from Code Enforcement and the City Manager's
Office have invested in listening to the public's and the Library Commission's concerns regarding access and
community use of Civic Center Plaza and Library Field.
The initiatives you have described to encourage community members try alternative methods to travel to Civic
Center Plaza destinations sound like great ways to raise awareness within the community that good travel
opportunities do exist that do not require fruitless circling in a crowded parking lot. In your marketing efforts,

please do promote the use of VTA Routes 23/523, 25, 51, and 55 as convenient transit options for residents
living in eastern Cupertino or near De Anza College or Stelling Rd.* (Unfortunately, however, VTA service
excludes most of Cupertino located west of Stelling and south of McClellan.)
Regarding direct instruction for students to help them build cycling skills and confidence, I notice some
communities partner with service providers such as Wheel Kids Bicycle Club (wheelkids.com) that offer
weekend parent‐child workshops, camps, and at the discretion of the school district, school‐based bicycle
skills instruction. I have participated in a parent‐child workshop with my then 8th grader, which taught them
sufficient skills that as a 12th grader they now choose cycling as a preferred form of transportation. Maybe
there is opportunity to promote more cycling in Cupertino by offering cycling instruction through camps and
weekend workshops(?).
Please do continue to keep the Library Commission informed at decision points affecting resident and library
patron use of Civic Center Plaza and Library Field.
Whitney, please attach Roger Lee's communication below (dated 1/25/2020), the attached files "lock your
bike, helmet tips.pdf" and "civic_center_bike_audits_20200115.pdf" to the 2/5/2020 Library Commission

monitoring of the parking at the Library. There are also other areas throughout the City
that would benefit from more code enforcement. Consequently, the City is considering
the potential for increased code enforcement staff in the upcoming fiscal year budget
review.
2. Replace two (2) of the 4‐minute book return stalls with 10‐minute loading and unloading stalls.
Response: This suggestion has been forwarded to our engineering consultant that has
been tasked to complete the parking analysis and recommendation study. As this study
nears completion, the draft study will be brought to the Library Commission for your
input prior to it going to the City Council with a recommendation for parking
improvements. A timeline for this presentation to the Library Commission is early March.

Like Your Bike?
Lock It!
A lock will deter the majority of thefts.
Bikes can get stolen…even at school. Most bike thefts are opportunistic. That is,
unlocked bikes are taken for a joy ride and dumped. A lock will prevent most thefts.
Buy a high quality bike lock
If you can’t afford to lose your bike, a secure, high quality U-lock is a smart investment.
Inexpensive cable locks can be cut quickly with bolt or wire cutters.
Lock through your bike FRAME
Do not lock only through wheels, seat posts, or handlebars which can be easily
removed.
Lock to a secure bike rack, NOT to fence wire which can be cut.
Higher security U-racks are provided for your protection. Please use them!
Bicycling is a fun and healthy way to get around.
Before you roll, safety should be your goal!
Wearing a helmet reduces head injuries when riding a bicycle,
scooter, skateboard or skates. California law requires anyone
under the age of 18 to wear a properly fitted and fastened helmet
when doing the above activities. Everyone, including parents,
should wear a helmet for every ride. MAKE IT A HABIT!
t Replace your helmet if it has been in a crash or if it is older
than 4 years.
t Never buy a used helmet.

TIPS
Now that you know how to properly fit a helmet, wear it
on every ride, follow the rules of the road, and have FUN!
A helmet needs to fit properly to be effective at reducing head
injuries in a crash. Follow the four easy steps for the right fit:
SNUG. EYES. EARS. MOUTH.
t Place your helmet level on your
head so you are able to see the
helmet rim when you look up.
t There should be no more than
two finger-widths between your
eyebrows and the rim of the
helmet.
EYES
t Adjust the straps so they
make a “Y” that meets just
below your ears.
EARS
t Adjust the chinstrap so that no
more than two fingers fit between
the strap and your chin while
fastened.
tWhile snug, you should still be
able to open your mouth
comfortably while fastened.
t Adjust the ch
MOUTH
t Adjust the tension mechanism
at the back of the helmet or
replace the pad inserts, if available,
until the helmet fits snugly around
your head.
t If you cannot get a snug fit
around your head, your helmet
won’t protect you in a crash.
You may need to purchase a
different size helmet and consider
one with a tension adjuster.

scooter, skateboard or skates. California law requires anyone
under the age of 18 to wear a properly fitted and fastened helmet
when doing the above activities. Everyone, including parents,
should wear a helmet for every ride. MAKE IT A HABIT!
t Replace your helmet if it has been in a crash or if it is older
than 4 years.
t Never buy a used helmet.
