State Street to allow construction of bicycle parking at Saucy, 108 W. Standley Street(Neil Davis verbal report). MINUTES of the Traffic Engineering Committee April 11, 2017 Page 1 Member Neil Davis presented this item. Cynthia Ariosta, owner of Saucy, and the Mendocino Environmental Center are interested in a community bicycle rack to keep the right of way in front of their businesses free of bicycles. He proposed reducing the loading zone by 12 feet with installation of 3 U-shaped bike racks which could hold up to 6 bicycles. This leaves room for one car to park in the loading zone. Public Comment: Cynthia Ariosta Shannon Riley added that the bike rack at Patrona's was part of the outdoor dining pilot program while Schat's Bakery paid for the bike rack in front of their business. A policy needs to be established about the placement of bike racks in the city. Motion/Second: Eriksen/Davis to have Engineering study this loading zone and make recommendations about the dimensions that will work for bicycle parking at the next TEC meeting. A recommendation will be made to take to City Council along with a bike rack policy discussion. Motion carried by an all AYE voice vote of the members present. a. Discussion and possible action regarding removal of parking on the north side of Gobbi Street between S. Oak Street and S. Dora Street in order to paint and install Class 2 bicycle lanes and signage (Neil Davis verbal report). Member Neil Davis presented this item. A Class 2 bike lane exists on Gobbi Street from Orchard Avenue to Oak Street. Currently there is a gap in the bike lane from Oak Street to Dora Street. This proposal is to make room for a bike lane by removing parking on the north side of Gobbi Street. There are 33 parking spaces on both sides of the street. The average number of parking spaces being used is 30%. This is a priority project listed in the Ukiah Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan on page 97. Public notification was achieved with posted laminated notices of this item with 3 signs placed on each side of the street. Copies of this notice were handed out to all residents on the affected portion of Gobbi Street. 3:52 pm Wendy Jackson from 270 W. Gobbi Street arrived. Public Comment: Wendy Jackson Member Sean Kaeser suggested using the new Clay Street extension as an east/west bike corridor because there is not as much traffic on Clay as compared to Talmage, Gobbi or Perkins. Motion/Second: Kageyama/Thompson to eliminate parking on the north side of Gobbi Street between Oak Street and Dora Street in order to install a bike lane. This proposal will be taken to council for approval. Motion carried by the following roll call votes: AYES: Eriksen, Thompson, Davis, Kageyama. NOES: Kaeser, Malugani. MINUTES of the Traffic Engineering Committee April 11, 2017 Page 2 c. Discussion and possible action regarding Walk & Bike Mendocino's Directional Bike Route Plan (Neil Davis verbal report). A desire was expressed from local bicyclists to have a directional route plan for the best bike corridors. On-street sign markers or logos could be used to point out that this is a preferred bike route. This is a recommendation of the Ukiah Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan on page 79. Member Neil Davis is going to mark new bike routes on a map and bring it back to next meeting. 6. COMMITTEE MEMBER REPORTS Neil Davis and Ben Kageyama are working on an Urban Greening Grant. The purpose of this grant is to reduce carbon by reducing vehicle miles and to decrease energy usage by planting trees to shade buildings. The project they are presenting is to extend the Rail Trail 3/10 mile to the north from Clara Avenue to Brush Street. 7. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS none 8. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 4:40 p.m. Lory Limbird, Recording Secretary MINUTES of the Traffic Engineering Committee April 11, 2017 Page 3 CITY OF UKIAH MEMORANDUM DATE: May 4, 2017 TO: Traffic Engineering Committee FROM: Rick Seanor, Deputy Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Discussion and Possible Action Regarding Reducing the Length of a Yellow Loading Zone for Bicycle Parking on West Standley Street near North State Street Agenda Item 4a. REQUEST: The Traffic Engineering Committee (TEC) received a request from Ms. Cynthia Ariosta, Saucy and Walk & Bike Mendocino for bicycle parking in the yellow loading zone on the north side of West Standley Street near North State Street. Please refer to the photomap, Attachment "A", for reference. DISCUSSION: The TEC discussed this request at its April 11, 2017 meeting. At that meeting the TEC referred the item back to staff for additional information. In order to construct the bicycle parking, the existing yellow loading zone would need to be reduced from 42 feet to 28 feet in length. Please refer to Attachment "A", a photomap, showing the existing loading zone and street frontage. Attachment"B" is also provided for more specific dimensions on the proposed bicycle parking. Per City Code section 7180, the City Traffic Engineer (Traffic Engineering Committee) is authorized to determine and mark loading zones. RECOMMENDATION: 1) Approve the request to reduce the length of the yellow loading zone and refer to City Council to consider amending the Saucy outdoor dining permit in order to allow construction of the bicycle parking. 2) Defer action on this item until a formal policy on bicycle parking in the public right of way is fully vetted and approved by City Council. cc: Cynthia Ariosta, Saucy Walk & Bike Mendocino file �\�II ATTACHMENT "A" nl i ��> Proposed Loading Zone Size Reduction Pplyy.1, (Ilii West Standley Street-West of N.
