Hi City Clerk, City Council Members, and Deb,
I'm attaching PPT and PDF (both the same for whichever you prefer to use) so that
neighborhood residents can address the City Council for Agenda 11 tonight.
The documents represent presentations for Cupertino residents Ken, Ram and Gary. We
will keep the presentation to 8-9 minutes for these 3 individuals.
Thanks!
Ken

Homes and residents
•13 homes affected, approx $26M‐$32M value at present day.
•Side street homes also affected with proposed eliminating on street parking.
•Several 20+ year homeowners, Janet, Bill, Joyce, more, to name a few.
•Primarily active tech workers with and without families, some retired, but
all with concern for bicycle safety and traffic control.
•Have enjoyed street parking and privacy for many many previous years.
•Many homeowners are bicycle enthusiast and advocate for bicycle safety.
•Our ask is:
•Retention of some interval for on street parking for our convenience; service
providers and family/friends.
•Proper bicycle lane markings and signage, which does not exist today, and no barriers
in front of our homes which eliminates on street parking, and invades our privacy.
Process to date
•Phase 2 not clearly socialized with homeowners.
•Many homeowners did not understand complete scope until recently.
•Vote by City Council on 21 Jul was not a complete process as homeowners
were with not available or misrepresented; one City official stated only 2
residents had concerns with the project when more had been submitted.
•City Council did good roundtable of questions though but homeowners
core issues with on street parking and bicycle lane barriers not resolved.
•Quick vote resulting in award of Phase 2 contract was premature.
•Neighborhood meeting 11 Aug at City Manager and Homeowners request.

Neighborhood meeting 11 Aug at City Manager
and Homeowners request
•10 of 13 homeowners present. 1 home For Sale. 1 homeowner represented by
another. 1 homeowner not present but language was an issue.
•All homeowners present voiced concerns and made recommendations to City
team; City Manager, Transportation Manager, Public Works, to name a few.
•At no time did City communicate that bicycle lane barriers were a must have.
•City team was receptive to consider Homeowners recommendations though.
•Email from City team on 17 Aug was Bicycle barriers were a must and that if
homeowners wanted to retain some level of street parking that the street verge
would have to be removed (street lights, fire hydrants, trees, existing signage),
pending additional budget approval (homeowners don’t want street verge
removed).
•Homeowners seeking voted City Council members to help mediate.

Class IV Bicycle lane discussion
•Alternatives to physical barrier can include flexible posts, elevation path, etc.
Would like city to consider

(as it retains a single curb)
