T&E AGENDA: ITEM: 9/9/24 (d) 2 TO: TRANSPORTATION AND FROM: John Ristow ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE SUBJECT: King Road Complete Streets Plan Status Report Approved DATE: August 19, 2024 Date: 8/29/2024 RECOMMENDATION Accept a status report on the King Road Complete Streets Plan. BACKGROUND In 2020, the City of San José adopted En Movimiento, the East San José Multi-modal Transportation Improvement Plan. This plan identified King Road as a key corridor needing enhancements to safety and comfort for people walking and biking. The section north of I-280 was also identified as a transit priority corridor. In 2022, City Council adopted a General Plan text amendment to designate King Road north of I-280 as a Grand Boulevard to reflect En Movimiento’s recommendation to prioritize improving transit reliability and rider experience. The King Road Complete Streets Plan (“Plan”), funded by the Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning Grant program, aims to transform this critical 5.8-mile corridor in East San José in line with the En Movimiento plan’s findings. This corridor is a Vision Zero Priority Safety Corridor, meaning it is among the most problematic streets in San José for...

CC 24-378 King Road Complete Streets Plan Status Report Good afternoon, My name is Diane Solomon. I’m here on behalf of your Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee. Your BPAC received a report and presentation from staff on this project at our January 29th meeting. Our BPAC supports the King road complete streets project. In February our letter of support accompanied our City’s application for funding to the United States Department of Transportation, to help pay for this project. On January 29th we were told of the many elements of this project. Staff told us that to reduce speeds and increase traffic safety, King Road’s traffic lanes would be reduced, . We whole-heartedly support this; however, we were shown two design concepts. One design concept had a dedicated bus lane and a separated bike lane, which we support. Slide six of their January 29th slide deck presentation (which differs from today’s slide deck found online)...
