Oct 07, 2025 Mobility, Ports, and Infrastructure Committee

[00:04:14]

ALL RIGHT.

GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE.

WE'RE GETTING SETTLED INTO QUORUM.

WE'LL START IN JUST A MINUTE.

[00:05:58]

WELCOME EVERYONE.

UH, I WOULD LIKE TO CALL THE MOBILITY PORTS AND INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE MEETING TO ORDER FOR OCTOBER 7TH, 2025.

UH, MADAM CLERK, COULD WE PLEASE CALL THE ROLE MEMBER SORROW PRESENT, VICE CHAIR THRUSH INUK, PRESENT CHAIR KERR.

PRESENT.

WE HAVE QUORUM.

[CALL TO ORDER]

UH, MADAM CLERK, COULD YOU READ THE FIRST ITEM, PLEASE? ITEM NUMBER ONE IS A RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES FOR THE MOBILITY PORTS AND INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE MEETING OF TUESDAY, MAY 6TH, 2025.

[ROLL CALL]

WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM? IS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT

[1. 25-56582 Recommendation to approve the minutes for the Mobility, Ports, and Infrastructure Committee meeting of Tuesday, May 6, 2025.       Suggested Action: Approve recommendation. ]

SEEING NONE, UH, MADAM CLERK, COULD WE PLEASE DO CALL THE VOTE COUNCILWOMAN? YEAH, I JUST WANNA KNOW, I, I ABSTAIN SINCE I WASN'T HERE AT THE LAST MEETING FROM APPROVING THE MINUTES, EVEN THOUGH YOU WEREN'T HERE, IF YOU RECEIVED THE PACKET AND YOU, YOU SHOULD CAST A VOTE.

UM, THANK YOU.

WELL, THANKS FOR THE CLARIFICATION, .

I DID LOOK AT IT.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

AND SO I WILL VOTE YES THEN.

MOTION IS CARRIED.

GREAT.

THANK YOU.

UH, MME. CLARK, COULD YOU PLEASE READ ITEM TWO? ITEM NUMBER TWO IS A RECOMMENDATION TO RECEIVE AND FILE A PRESENTATION FROM THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT ON THE SYSTEM IMPACT REPORT AND SYSTEM USE POLICY OF THE APPROVED CALIFORNIA PILOT PROGRAM TO DEPLOY AUTOMATED SPEED SAFETY SYSTEMS TO REDUCE SPEEDING TRAFFIC COLLISIONS AND TRAFFIC RELATED FATALITIES IN THE CITY OF LONG BEACH.

[2. 25-56583 Recommendation to receive and file a presentation from the Public Works Department on the System Impact Report and System Use Policy of the approved California pilot program under CVC 22425-22431 to deploy automated speed safety systems to reduce speeding, traffic collisions, and traffic related fatalities in the City of Long Beach.       Suggested Action: Approve recommendation. ]

UM, THERE IS A STAFF REPORT AND PRESENTATION ON THIS ITEM, BUT BEFORE I HAND IT OVER TO PUBLIC WORKS, I JUST WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO PROVIDE A BIT OF OVERVIEW AND CONTEXT FOR TODAY'S MEETING.

EARLY LAST YEAR, THE PA, THE PASSAGE OF ASSEMBLY BILL 6 4 5, ALLOWED LONG BEACH AND A HANDFUL OF OTHER CITIES THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A PILOT PROGRAM TO IMPLEMENT AUTOMATED SPEED SAFETY SYSTEMS. THESE SYSTEMS ARE INTENDED TO MITIGATE UNSAFE DRIVING PRACTICES AND REDUCE SPEEDING RELATED TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS AND FATALITIES BY INSTALLING AUTOMATED ENFORCEMENT SYSTEMS THAT WILL ISSUE WARNINGS AND CITATIONS TO EXCESSIVELY SPEEDING VEHICLES.

TO CLARIFY THE ONGOING TIMELINE OF THIS PROGRAM'S IMPLEMENTATION, AB 6 45 WAS PASSED INTO LAW OCTOBER, 2023, AND A PRESENTATION WAS MADE TO THE MPI COMMITTEE NOVEMBER 14TH, 2023.

UH, THE LONG BEACH POST SHARED AN ARTICLE AT THAT TIME.

UH, IN MARCH OF 2024, I AUTHORED AN ITEM TO KICK OFF OUR LOCAL PROCESS FOR IMPLEMENTATION PER THE LEGISLATION AND INITIAL PHASE OF DATA COLLECTION AND RESEARCH TO ENSURE A THOUGHTFUL AND EQUITABLE APPROACH AND AN ASSESSMENT OF THE PROGRAM'S IMPACT HAPPENED.

SO THAT RESEARCH HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE MARCH OF 2024.

THIS SUMMER, TRAFFIC ENGINEERING PROVIDED EACH COUNCIL OFFICE WITH BRIEFINGS OF AN OVERVIEW OF THEIR FINDINGS THUS FAR, AND SOUGHT COUNCIL MEMBER FEEDBACK FOR THEIR CONTINUED RESEARCH.

AT THIS TIME, THERE WAS MORE PRESS.

UH, ABC SEVEN WROTE AN ARTICLE MORE RECENTLY APPEAR HEARING FROM TRAFFIC ENGINEERING THAT THEY WERE NEARLY READY FOR PUBLISHING.

WE CALLED THIS MEETING OF THE MOBILITY PORTS AND INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE TO HAVE THE FINDINGS PRESENTED IN A PUBLIC SETTING, AND THAT IS WHAT THIS MEETING IS TODAY.

THE AGENDA FOR THIS MEETING WAS PUBLISHED ON SEPTEMBER 25TH AND POSTED TO THE CITY CLERK'S WEBSITE.

UH, THE, OUR TEAM IN OUR OFFICE SENT NOTICE TO NEIGHBORHOOD LEADERS AND SPREAD THE WORD.

WE KNOW, UH, PUBLIC WORKS AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ALSO SPREAD THE WORD, AND THERE HAS BEEN SOCIAL MEDIA ENGAGEMENT AS WELL AS SOME PRESS ON IT.

SO TODAY, TRAFFIC ENGINEERING TEAM IS HERE IN FORCE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO PREPARE, UH, TO PRESENT THEIR FINDINGS OF DATA AND PROVIDE US WITH THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE LOCATIONS OF THE ALLOTTED SYSTEMS. THIS IS THE NEXT STEP MOVING FORWARD, PROVIDING THE PUBLIC THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE AND HEAR THE REPORTS AND OPENING A 30 DAY REVIEW PERIOD FOR COMMUNITY FEEDBACK.

UM, I JUST WANNA ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE KNOW THERE'S FRUSTRATION OUT THERE THAT THIS ISN'T ENOUGH.

AND SO PART OF THE CONVERSATION

[00:10:01]

BUT WE DO KNOW, UM, THAT AS PEOPLE REVIEW THE DOCUMENTS AND HAVE SEEN THEM, THERE ARE CONCERNS IN HOW COME THIS AND HOW COME THAT, AND THAT'S WHAT THE TEAM IS HERE TO DO TODAY, UH, TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS.

SO WITH THAT IN MIND, I'M GONNA PASS IT OVER TO, UH, OUR ACTING DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS, AND IT'S THE TRAFFIC ENGINEERING TEAM FOR THE PRESENTATION.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU CHAIR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.

REALLY EXCITED TO BE HERE.

UH, APPRECIATE THAT THOROUGH INTRODUCTION AS WELL.

THAT'S REALLY HELPFUL TO SET THAT, THAT BASELINE AND FRAMEWORK AND SHOULD LEAD RIGHT INTO THE PRESENTATION.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT.

YEAH, I'M JOINED WITH OUR CITY ENGINEER AND OUR CITY TRAFFIC ENGINEER AND MANY FOLKS FROM OUR, UH, FROM OUR ENGINEERING BUREAU TO THAT HELP SUPPORT THIS PROGRAM AND, UH, LOOK FORWARD TO THIS EXCITING MILESTONE.

SO WE DO HAVE A BRIEF PRESENTATION.

IT'S ABOUT 15 SLIDES.

WE WANNA MAKE SURE WE SAVE PLENTY OF ROOM FOR Q AND A AND ANY OTHER, UH, COMMENTS THAT, THAT COME WITH.

BUT, UM, WE HAVE A QUICK OVERVIEW OF THE VISION ZERO SAFE STREETS PROGRAM.

WE'LL PROVIDE A BRIEF UPDATE FROM THE OTHER PILOT CITIES AS WELL AS WHAT'S REQUIRED AS PART OF THE CALIFORNIA VEHICLE CODE, HOW WE CAME TO THE DEVICE LOCATIONS, AND THE PRIORITIZATION EFFORT THAT WENT ALONG WITH IT, AND THEN WHAT THE NEXT STEPS WILL LOOK LIKE TO ROLL OUT THIS PROGRAM.

SO TO, TO START OFF, OUR SAFE STREETS, LONG BEACH REALLY HAS A COUPLE DIFFERENT PRIORITIES.

FIRST ONE WAS DEDICATE STAFF AND FUNDING TO SUPPORT THE PROGRAM.

UH, WE HAVE THAT TODAY.

WE'RE EXCITED.

WE HAVE OUR TRAFFIC ENGINEERING TEAM, UH, WITHIN OUR ENGINEERING BUREAU LED BY OUR CITY TRAFFIC ENGINEER.

UH, MANY OF THEM ARE, ARE HERE TODAY IN THE, IN THE AUDIENCE THAT HELPS SUPPORT THIS PROGRAM, UH, TO BRING IT INTO FRUITION AND AND REALITY.

THE SECOND PRIORITY IS REALLY DIVING INTO THE SPECIFICS OF LOWERING SPEEDS.

SO 2.1, OUR ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS.

THIS REALLY FOCUSES MORE IN ON OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS AND SLOWING DOWN TRAFFIC, ADDRESSING THE ISSUES WITH THE HIGH INJURY NETWORK WITH ENGINEERING DESIGN SOLUTIONS.

2.2 FOCUSES MORE ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES, WHICH IS A SEPARATE, UH, UPDATE THAT WE'LL BE PROVIDING IN THE FUTURE.

AND THEN REALLY WHAT WE'RE HERE TODAY TO TALK ABOUT IS ITEM 2.3, THE AUTOMATED SPEED ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM.

SO NOW THAT WE HAVE THE STAFFING, UH, WE'RE ABLE TO REALLY ROLL OUT, UH, THIS IN EARNEST, COLLECT THE, THE DATA TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS OF WHERE THESE LOCATIONS WILL BE FOR THE DEVICES AND HOW THE PROGRAM WILL OPERATE.

SO WHY SPEED ENFORCEMENT? UH, AS YOU CAN SEE ON THIS SLIDE HERE, UH, WITH A VEHICLE TRAVELING AT 20 MILES PER HOUR, THERE'S A 13% LIKELIHOOD OF SEVERE INJURY OR A FATALITY.

UH, THAT NUMBER GROWS QUICKLY AS YOU GO UP WITH THE VEHICLES SPEEDING UP TO 40 MILES PER HOUR, THERE'S THE 73% LIKELIHOOD COMMUNITY BENEFITS OF THE PROGRAM AT LARGE.

REALLY, WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO FOCUS ON PREVENTION VERSUS PUNISHMENT.

SO THE, THE GOAL OF THIS PROGRAM IS NOT TO MAKE A LOT OF MONEY OR REVENUE OFF OF THIS.

IT'S REALLY TO INFLUENCE THE BEHAVIORS LEADING TO SPEEDING AND THEREFORE CREATING A SAFER STREET FOR ALL USER GROUPS.

SO THIS ALSO ALLOWS FOR THE TRADITIONAL ENFORCEMENT, UH, TO FOCUS IN ON OTHER AREAS.

AND REALLY, WE'RE, WE'RE FOCUSING IN ON ADDRESSING SITUATIONS THAT CAN'T BE ADDRESSED AS PART OF THE HIGH INJURY NETWORK AND THE, UH, CONFIGURING ROADS WITH DESIGN COMPONENTS THEMSELVES.

SO WE ARE ONE OF SIX PILOT CITIES.

SO YOU CAN SEE HERE ON THIS SLIDE, THE OTHER CITIES AS PART OF THIS OVERALL PILOT PROGRAM, UH, WE'RE UNDERWAY WITH, UH, ALL THESE OTHER DIFFERENT CITIES WORKING TOGETHER COLLABORATIVELY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE CAN DO, INCORPORATE LESSONS LEARNED, AND REALLY EMBED WHAT THEY'RE DOING INTO OUR PROGRAM AS WELL.

SAN FRANCISCO IS THE LEADER AT THIS POINT.

THEY DRAFTED THE ASSEMBLY BILL.

THEY WERE PART OF THE, THE ONES REALLY PUSHING US FORWARD.

SO WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO, UH, TAKE SOME OF THOSE LESSONS LEARNED FROM SAN FRANCISCO, EMBED THEM INTO OUR USE OF USE POLICY, EMBED THEM INTO OUR OPERATING PLAN SO WE CAN BE THAT MUCH BETTER FOR ALL THE WORK THAT THEY'VE DONE.

WE'RE ALSO CURRENTLY WORKING WITH OAKLAND.

THEY, UH, AS YOU CAN SEE SECOND THERE ON THE CHART, THEY'RE WORKING TOWARDS AWARDING THEIR, UM, THEIR CONTRACT FOR THE SPECIFIC DEVICES.

WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM TO, UH, PIGGYBACK OR UTILIZE THEIR CONTRACT TO BE ABLE TO PROCURE OUR DEVICES THAT MUCH FASTER.

AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE OTHER GROUPS TO MAKE SURE THAT OVERALL THIS IS A, A SUCCESSFUL PILOT PROGRAM.

SO THE VEHICLE CODE, UH, HAS A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS.

[00:15:01]

BOTH OF THESE AS, UH, THE CHAIR HAD NOTED AT THE BEGINNING, ARE BOTH AVAILABLE ONLINE.

SO IF ANYBODY'S INTERESTED IN REVIEWING THEM, UH, ALL OF THESE DETAILS, INCLUDING ALL THE BULLET POINTS LISTED HERE, CAN BE FOUND WITHIN THOSE DIFFERENT DOCUMENTS.

SPECIFIC TO THE SYSTEM IMPACT REPORT, WE'VE GOT THE LOCATIONS, THE PROGRAM COST EXPLANATION OF HOW THESE LOCATIONS WERE DETERMINED WITHIN THE SYSTEMS USE POLICY.

THERE'S INFORMATION ON THE RULES, HOW THE DATA CAN BE COLLECTED, HOW IT CAN BE STORED, AND WHAT DO WE, UM, UH, WHO WE CAN SHARE THAT WITH.

THE VEHICLE CODE ALSO HAS REQUIREMENTS REGARDING FINES.

THERE ARE LISTED HERE ON THE SLIDE.

THEY START AT $50 AN INCREASE UP TO $500.

UH, IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE REVENUE IS USED TO COVER THE COST OF THE PROGRAM.

SO AS THESE CITATIONS ARE ISSUED AFTER THE PROGRAM STOOD UP AFTER THE WARNING PERIOD, IF THERE IS REVENUE COMING IN, OR WHEN THERE'S REVENUE COMING IN, THAT WILL BE USED TO OFFSET THE OVERALL PROGRAM COSTS, ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDS, UH, WHICH AGAIN, WE'RE, WE'RE HOPING, YOU KNOW, IF THIS IS SUCCESSFUL, IT'LL REDUCE PEOPLE'S SPEEDING BEHAVIOR AND WE WON'T SEE A TON OF REVENUE FROM THIS, BUT WE'RE, ANY REVENUE WE DO SEE, WE'LL REINVEST INTO TRAFFIC CALMING DEVICES THROUGHOUT THE CITY, AND WE'LL BE COMING BACK, WE'LL HAVE MORE OF A PROJECTION AS WE GET STARTED WITH THE PROGRAM.

WE'LL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE AN IDEA OF WHAT THAT REVENUE LOOKS LIKE AND COME BACK WITH A PRIORITIZATION EFFORT AS TO WHERE THOSE FUNDS WOULD BE SPENT.

THERE ARE SOME, UH, ADDITIONAL ITEMS WITHIN THE VEHICLE CODE REQUIREMENT THAT REQUIRE, UH, ACCOMMODATIONS FOR LOW INCOME.

AND YOU CAN SEE THOSE HERE ON, ON THE SLIDE.

THERE'S PAYMENT PLAN OPTIONS, THERE'S COMMUNITY SERVICE OPTIONS AND REDUCTION OF FEES.

SO THE DEVICE LOCATIONS, THERE ARE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS AS TO WHERE THE DEVICES CAN BE LOCATED.

UH, WE ARE OBLIGATED TO PLACE THEM IN QUOTE, GEOGRAPHICALLY DIVERSE LOCATIONS.

UM, WE ARE ONLY ALLOWED 18 LOCATIONS CITYWIDE.

HOPEFULLY, UH, IF THE PILOT GOES WELL, IF WE'RE ABLE TO, UH, SHOW THE BENEFIT OF ALL THIS, WE'LL BE ABLE TO TAKE THIS OFF OF THE, TAKE THE TRAINING WHEELS OFF AND EXPAND THE PROGRAM IN THE FUTURE, UH, TO INCREASE THAT TO MORE THAN 18 LOCATIONS.

BUT AS OF TODAY, THAT'S THE, THE REQUIREMENT.

THOSE 18 LOCATIONS MUST COMPLY WITH AT LEAST ONE OF THE FOLLOWING.

SO IT MUST BE WITHIN A SAFETY CORRIDOR, MUST BE WITHIN A SCHOOL ZONE, OR MUST BE IN A LOCATION THAT'S HAD A CALL FOR ENFORCEMENT ON AT LEAST FOUR SEPARATE INCIDENTS.

WE CANNOT PLACE ANY DEVICES WITHIN STATE HIGHWAY JURISDICTIONS.

SO HOW DO WE DETERMINE WHERE THESE LOCATIONS WOULD BE? UH, NINE OR HALF OF THE 18 WOULD BE LOCATED BASED ON, UH, NEEDS-BASED PRIORITIZATION.

AND THEN WE'LL GET INTO ON THE NEXT SLIDE, THE OTHER NINE.

SO THESE FIRST NINE, NINE LOCATIONS, UH, WITH NEEDS-BASED PRIORITIZATION ARE ON THE HIGH INJURY NETWORK.

AND THEY'VE BEEN, UH, THEY'RE, UH, PRIORITIZED BASED ON A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT FACTORS, INCLUDING FREQUENCY OF RACING AND TAKEOVER EVENTS BEING WITHIN THE SCHOOL ZONE CRASH OF VERITY, AND THEN THE FREQUENCY OF FOLKS SPEEDING MORE THAN 11 MILES PER HOUR.

SO THESE ARE THE NINE LOCATIONS BASED ON ALL THAT AGGREGATED DATA AND WHERE THE MOST NEED IS WITHIN THE CITY.

SO I'LL JUST PAUSE FOR A SECOND HERE SO PEOPLE CAN SEE THE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.

YOU CAN SEE THAT THEY'RE ALL BASED ON THOSE DIFFERENT FACTORS SHOWN ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDE.

THE NEXT NINE LOCATIONS ARE BASED ON GEOGRAPHIC DIVERSITY PRIORITIZATION.

SO WE TOOK ALL OF THE SAME FACTORS THAT WE JUST LOOKED AT AS PART OF THE NEEDS BASED PRIORITIZATION EFFORT, BUT THEN WENT THROUGH AN ADDITIONAL SCREENING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WEREN'T PLACING THEM ON STREET SEGMENTS THAT WERE DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE ONES IN, AS PART OF THE NEEDS BASED, MEANING WE DIDN'T WANT TO PUT BACK TO BACK SYSTEMS IN PLACE, FIGURED THERE WOULD NOT BE AS MUCH OF A VALUE TO DOING THAT.

THERE'S MORE OF A, A NEED CITYWIDE.

WE ALSO WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE FOCUSING ON, ON SPECIFIC OUTLIERS.

SO IF THERE WAS A, A STREET SEGMENT THAT HAD A NUMBER MAYBE ABOVE AVERAGE ON THE FATAL CRASHES OR ABOVE AVERAGE FOR NUMBER OF CALLS FOR RACING, THAT THAT RECEIVED, UH, EXTRA PREFERENCE.

AND THEN WE ALSO WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT STREET SEGMENTS THAT WE COULDN'T ADJUST FOR BASED ON THE DESIGN OF THE STREETS, WE WERE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT AN ADDITIONAL MEANS TO DOING THAT, NAMELY ADDING THEM TO THIS PROGRAM.

SO A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THAT

[00:20:01]

UM, OF COURSE, THAT'S NOT THE ONLY EXAMPLE.

THERE'S TRUCK ROUTES AND OTHER OTHER TYPE SITUATIONS WHERE, UH, WE'RE JUST NOT ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE SLOWING DOWN TRAFFIC WITH OTHER MEANS AND METHODS.

SO HERE'S WHAT THOSE NINE SEGMENT OR NINE LOCATIONS LOOK LIKE BASED ON THE GEOGRAPHIC PRIORITIZATION.

SO YOU SEE THE STREET, THE SEGMENT, AND THEN THE, THE TREND OR THE REASONING WHY THOSE, THOSE SEGMENTS WERE ADDED TO THIS, UM, PRIORITIZATION EFFORT.

SO SAME INFORMATION AS WE JUST SAW ON THE PREVIOUS SLIDES, JUST IN GEOGRAPHIC MAP FORM.

SO YOU COULD SEE ON THE TOP BOX OR IN THE, THE DARK BLUE, THE NEEDS-BASED PRIORITIZATION HAS NINE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.

AND THEN YOU COULD SEE THE GEOGRAPHIC DIVERSITY PRIORITIZATION.

THE LIGHTER BLUE STARTS TO REALLY EXPAND OUTSIDE OF OUR CORE HIGH INJURY NETWORK TO IN, UH, INCLUDE OTHER LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

SO WE'VE GOT A GOOD, UH, GOOD NUMBER OF STREET SEGMENTS LOCATED THROUGHOUT TOTAL OF 19 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, UH, SORRY, 18 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.

SO DETAILS OF THE SYSTEM.

UH, WHAT, WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? THERE'LL BE SIGNAGE WITHIN 500 FEET POSTING THE SPEED LIMIT.

AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE IMAGE SHOWN HERE, UH, THERE WOULD BE, UH, SOME KIND OF LANGUAGE NOTING THAT THERE WILL BE PHOTO ENFORCEMENT, THE SPEED FEEDBACK SIGN, WHICH IS THE IMAGE ON THE LOWER RIGHT HAND SIDE, WHICH SHOWS YOUR ACTUAL SPEED THAT YOU'RE TRAVELING.

SO YOU CAN HOPEFULLY, IT ENCOURAGE YOU TO REDUCE YOUR SPEED IF YOU'RE ABOVE THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT.

CAMERAS WILL BE POSTED, UH, OR ON TOP OF THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL OR A POLE MOUNTED, AND THE IMAGE THAT'S CAPTURED FOR THE SPEEDING.

FOR THE FOLKS SPEEDING 11 MILES PER HOUR OR MORE ABOVE THE POST.

THAT SPEED LIMIT WILL BE CAPTURED OF, UH, THE REAR LICENSE PLATE.

INFORMATION WILL BE CAPTURED.

INDIVIDUAL CITATIONS WILL ONLY HAPPEN AFTER THE EDUCATION PERIOD, AFTER THE WARNING PERIOD.

AND THEN ONCE THAT HAPPENS, THE DATA IS, UH, KEPT IN-HOUSE AND IS NOT SHARED WITH OTHER ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES.

SO NEXT STEPS.

UM, THIS IS HOPEFULLY ALL GOES WELL, AND WE'RE ABLE TO, UM, KEEP THIS, KEEP THIS PROGRAM MOVING FULL STEAM AHEAD HERE.

THESE WOULD BE THE, THE NEXT STEPS IF ALL GOES WELL THIS AFTERNOON.

WE'D BE RETURNING TO CITY COUNCIL IN DECEMBER FOR ADOPTION OF THE PROGRAM.

WE'LL BE INCORPORATING ANY SORT OF PUBLIC FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVE BETWEEN NOW AND, UM, EARLY NOVEMBER.

WE'LL INCORPORATE THAT FEEDBACK INTO THE SYSTEMS IMPACT REPORT AND THE SYSTEMS USE POLICY.

WE'LL ALSO BE, UH, COMING FORWARD WITH OUR PROCUREMENT STRATEGY FOR HOW WE WOULD ACTUALLY GET THESE DEVICES.

AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, WE'RE WORKING WITH OAKLAND TO SEE WHAT OPTIONS WE HAVE BY WAY OF PIGGYBACKING, UH, OR UTILIZING THE CONTRACT THAT THEY'VE RECENTLY, UM, RECENTLY AWARDED.

THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO, EARLY NEXT YEAR IN JANUARY, WE'D BEGIN INSTALLING SOME OF THE SIGNAGE.

AND WE'D BE DOING THE SPEED COUNTS SPRING, THE DEVICES THAT WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT PROCURING.

WE'D, THEY WOULD ARRIVE, WE'D GET THE ADDITIONAL SIGNAGE IN PLACE, AND THEN WE WOULD START OUR NEXT PHASE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION CAMPAIGN, LETTING EVERYBODY KNOW THE SYSTEM'S READY TO GO LIVE.

SUMMER OF 2026, WE'LL ACTIVATE THE SYSTEM, WHICH WOULD ALSO ACTIVATE OUR 60 DAY WARNING PERIOD.

AND THEN IN THE FALL OF NEXT YEAR, HOPEFULLY WE'D BE RETURNING TO YOU TO PROVIDE ANOTHER PRESENTATION, LETTING YOU KNOW HOW SUCCESSFUL THIS HAS BEEN, AND WE'RE GOING LIVE WITH THE PROGRAM AND CITATIONS THAT ARE STARTING.

THAT CONCLUDES STAFF'S PRESENTATION.

WE'RE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

GREAT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

UM, UH, APPRECIATE YOUR HARD WORK, APPRECIATE THE TEAM BEING HERE AND BEING OPEN FOR QUESTIONS.

AND BEFORE MY COLLEAGUES AND I SHARE OUR THOUGHTS AND QUESTIONS, I'D LIKE TO OPEN IT UP TO PUBLIC COMMENT, PLEASE, IF THERE ARE ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEM NUMBER TWO, PLEASE LINE UP AT THE PODIUM AT THIS TIME.

THANK YOU.

GO AHEAD, PLEASE.

I'M TRYING TO DO, UH, I'M A,

[00:25:14]

I'M A CALCIUM LONG BEACH ALUM AND FORMER A SI SENATOR ON CAMPUS.

AND I LIVE ON THE CROSS STREETS OF ATHERTON AND FANWOOD AVENUE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF OF CAMPUS.

UH, I READ THE DRAFT REPORT AND I NOTICED THAT NON VEHICULAR USAGE WAS NOT A CRITERIA.

AS PART OF YOUR ASSESSMENT, I SAW THE VEHICULAR COUNTS, BUT NOT NON VEHICULAR COUNTS, PEDESTRIANS, BICYCLES, E-BIKES, THAT KIND OF A THING.

I WALKED MY DAUGHTER DOWN ATHERTON TO WHALEY PARK TO Y THE Y, THE YMCA FOR LESSONS, AND I SEE HOW FAST TRAFFIC TRAVELS RELATIVE TO AND ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT.

I CROSSED THE STREET ATHERTON TO ENJOY THE GREEN SPACE ON CAMPUS, AND I'VE HAD TWO CLOSE CALLS WITH CARS RUNNING THE, THE SIGNAL THERE.

I AM LOOKING INTO DAYCARE PRETTY SOON.

THERE'S ISABELLE CHATTER, UH, ISABELLE PATTERSON CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER ON ATHERTON, EDGEWATER PRESCHOOL ON ATHERTON.

AND I'LL EVENTUALLY BE SENDING MY CHILD TO TECAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AT MINI GAN AGAIN ON ATHERTON.

AND I SEE HOW MANY STUDENTS, YOU KNOW, NON VEHICULAR TRAFFIC THAT USE THE ATHERTON CORRIDOR TO GO TO AND FROM APARTMENTS AND CONDOS NEAR THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE TO THE NORTH SIDE OF CAMPUS.

AND, UH, I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONSIDER NON VEHICULAR TRAFFIC AS PART OF YOUR ASSESSMENT.

AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONSIDER ATHERTON BETWEEN FANWOOD AVENUE AND BELLFLOWER AS ONE OF THE PILOT LOCATIONS.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

JOSH.

CAN I FOLLOW UP WITH A QUESTION? UM, IF YOU WANNA POSE THE QUESTION AND THEN WHEN, UH, WE ASK STAFF, WE CAN INCORPORATE YOUR QUESTIONS.

THERE WAS NON VEHICULAR TRAFFIC CONSIDERED, UH, A METRIC AS PART OF YOUR ASSESSMENT.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

NEXT SPEAKER.

UH, HELLO.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

UH, MOBILITY PORTS AND INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE.

UH, MY NAME'S ISAAC MARTINEZ.

I'M A RESIDENT OF DISTRICT NINE.

I'M PART OF CAR LIGHT LONG BEACH.

UH, JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR, UH, THE PRESENTATION.

UH, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MAYBE DRAW ATTENTION OR, UM, HAVE A FOCUS ON THE EDUCATIONAL ROLLOUT OF, UH, THIS PROGRAM.

UH, WHEN PEOPLE HEAR SPEED ENFORCEMENT CAMERAS RIGHT AWAY, LIKE, UH, THE THOUGHTS OF THE PAST, UH, PREVIOUS SPEED ENFORCEMENT PROGRAMS, UH, COME OUT, THE, UH, EXCESSIVE FINES, UM, YOU KNOW, THE, UH, TARGETED, UH, AREAS AND NEIGHBORHOODS.

SO I THINK, I FEEL LIKE THE CITY DOESN'T DO A GREAT JOB IN ROLLING OUT THESE KIND OF THINGS.

THEY, UH, EDUCATE, TRY TO EDUCATE AFTER THE FACT.

AND BY THAT TIME, UH, PUBLIC SENTIMENT'S ALREADY VERY SOUR AGAINST IT.

UM, I WOULD LIKE TO MAYBE LEARN MORE ABOUT THE COMMUNITY SERVICE, UH, OPPORTUNITIES FOR, UH, PEOPLE OF THAT ARE ON LOWER INCOME THAT CAN'T, UH, PAY THE FINES TO MAYBE, UH, LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT KIND OF COMMUNITY SERVICE THEY CAN DO.

AND, UH, I WOULD LIKE TO REALLY STRESS THAT, UM, YOU GUYS ADVERTISE THAT DATA WILL BE KEPT IN, IN HOUSE, IN HOME.

IT WON'T BE SHARED WITH OTHER AGENCIES.

UH, THERE'S A VERY REAL FEAR OF ICE AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OVERREACH, AND THAT'S, UM, THAT DOESN'T PLAY WELL WITH LIKE, YOU KNOW, GETTING FINED AND TRACKED.

AND, UH, THAT'S MAINLY BEEN THE BIGGEST RESISTANCE TO THIS.

UM, SO WE REALLY NEED TO EXPLAIN HOW THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM PREVIOUS, UH, CAMERA SPEED ENFORCEMENT PROGRAMS. UH, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, ISAAC.

NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.

HELLO, MY NAME IS BRETT SLOG HOP.

UH, AND I WORK FOR STREETS ARE FOR EVERYONE, UH, KNOWN AS SAFE, A ROAD SAFETY NONPROFIT.

UM, I'M REALLY GRATEFUL FOR THE FORWARD PROGRESS AND THE PRESENTATION TODAY, UM, IN IMPLEMENTING AB 6 45 TO SLOW DOWN SPEEDING DRIVERS IN LONG BEACH.

UM, TODAY'S PROGRAM UPDATE IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, BUT I DO WANT TO CONTINUE TO EMPHASIZE, AS NOTED IN THE PRESENTATION THAT LONG BEACH IS CURRENTLY SECOND SLOWEST IN IMPLEMENTING AB 6 45 AMONGST ALL OF THE PILOT CITIES.

UM, DATA COMING OUT OF SAN FRANCISCO SHOWCASES JUST HOW MUCH AB 6 45 CAN CHANGE DRIVER BEHAVIOR TO MAKE OUR MOST DANGEROUS CORRIDOR SAFER FOR ALL ROAD USERS.

UM, FROM A REPORT THAT S-F-M-T-A PUBLISHED LAST

[00:30:01]

UM, ON AVERAGE SINCE JULY.

THEY'VE SEEN WEEK OVER WEEK DECLINES IN VIOLATIONS.

UM, THERE'S NO DOUBT THIS WILL SAVE LIVES AND MAKE LONG BEACH, MORE PLEASANT CITY TO EXIST IN, UM, TO WALK, BIKE, AND DRIVE.

UM, THERE'S STILL A NUMBER OF STEPS TO GO, INCLUDING THE APPROVAL OF THE SYSTEMS USE POLICY AND IMPACT REPORT.

AGAIN, AS NOTED IN THE PRESENTATION, AS WELL AS FINALIZING CAMERA LOCATIONS, UM, I REALLY STRONGLY URGE YOU TO CONTINUE TO PRIORITIZE THIS PROGRAM TO ENSURE THAT THE CITY IS ABLE TO MAKE FULL USE OF THE FIVE YEAR PILOT, UM, BEFORE 2032, UH, DEADLINE TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF ANY REVENUE GENERATED, UM, FROM SPEEDING DRIVERS TO FUND BADLY NEEDED ROAD SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS, UM, LIKE NEW CROSSWALKS, SPEED HUMPS, UM, IN SCHOOLS AND RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.

THANKS VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU, BRETT.

NEXT SPEAKER, PLEASE.

HI, MY NAME IS KATE KABA.

I'M, UM, IN DISTRICT FIVE.

THANK YOU, MEGAN.

WE'RE FIVE, RIGHT? YEAH.

OKAY.

UM, I JUST WANTED TO GIVE A LITTLE FEEDBACK.

I KNOW THERE'S 18 CAMERAS, BUT I THINK THERE'S ONE IN THE FOUR DISTRICT FOUR AND FIVE IN TOTAL.

AND IT SEEMS A LITTLE BIT LIKE THE GOOD GUYS GET PUNISHED FOR BEING FUDDY DUDDIES, BUT WE DO SEE, UH, VEHICULAR DEATHS, YOU KNOW, ALMOST SEEMS LIKE MURDER WHEN A 13-YEAR-OLD GETS KILLED.

IT HAPPENED TO BE ON THE LAKEWOOD SIDE OF THE STREET, BUT WE ALL PASSED IT.

UH, CARSON BOULEVARD'S HAD TWO, UH, DEATHS IN THE LAST MAYBE SIX MONTHS, A MOTORCYCLE SPEEDING.

AND, UM, THAT POOR YOUNG MAN WAS ON THE LAKEWOOD SIDE.

BUT REALLY, IT'S, IT'S ALL OF OUR PROBLEM.

UM, SO I, I WOULD, UH, JUST, I'M JUST WONDERING WHY SOMETHING LIKE STUDEBAKER, WHICH IS A FREEWAY OFF RAMP STREET, WHERE PEOPLE DON'T SEEM TO CHANGE THEIR SPEED WHEN THEY GET ONTO STUDEBAKER, OR, AND I KNOW STUDEBAKER'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND CARSON STREET, I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE JUST A DOUBLE LOOK AT THOSE.

I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE DATA WAS PULLED, BUT IN THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS, WE'VE HAD A LOT OF, A LOT OF PROBLEMS IN THAT DIRECTION.

I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK THAT GOES INTO IT.

IT'S A LOT OF SCIENCE, BUT THERE'S, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF SCHOOLS WHERE KIDS WALK, CROSSING THOSE STREETS.

UH, THE HIGH SCHOOLS DON'T REALLY HAVE CROSSWALK MONITORS, SO IT'S PRETTY, IT'S PRETTY SCARY.

UM, WE HAVE A KID WHO WALKS TO SCHOOL AND A KID WHO DRIVES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO ST.

ANTHONY.

AND YEAH, IT'S A LOT TIGHTER AND A LOT HARDER TO DRIVE NEAR ST.

ANTHONY.

I WILL GUARANTEE YOU THAT.

IT'S A LOT MORE STRESSFUL, BUT PEOPLE AREN'T GOING AS FAST AS THEY'RE WHEN THEY'RE GOING BY MCBRIDE.

SO JUST AS A THOUGHT OF, YOU KNOW, MAYBE GIVING US SOME, SOME LOVE IN OUR DISTRICT, I'D APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU.

OH, ONE OTHER THING.

THE E-BIKE SITUATION, CAN YOU A, HAVE, WERE THOSE COUNTED? BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF THOSE IN OUR DISTRICT, SO I'M GONNA ASK YOU THAT QUESTION.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, KATE.

ANY FURTHER PUBLIC COMMENT? OKAY.

SEEING THEN, UM, I'LL TAKE IT BACK BEHIND THE RAIL.

UH, THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU FOR COMING OUT TO, UM, EXPRESS YOUR CONCERNS, OPINIONS, THOUGHTS, SUGGESTIONS.

I KNOW THE TEAM HAS BEEN ACTIVELY, UH, WORKING TO ENGAGE, UH, WITH COUNCIL OFFICES AND PUBLIC, AND HEARING YOUR VOICE ON THE RECORD IS REALLY A CRITICAL PART OF THIS WORK.

UM, SO, UH, COLLEAGUES, I'M GONNA ASK, UM, WE'RE GONNA TAKE IT BEHIND THE RAIL.

I'M GONNA GIVE EACH OF US 10 MINUTES TO START, UM, JUST 'CAUSE THERE'S ONLY THREE OF US.

WE DO, UM, HAVE CLOSED SESSION IN LESS THAN AN HOUR.

SO, UM, I'M GONNA START OFF THE QUESTIONS AND THEN I'LL PASS IT TO MY COLLEAGUE.

SO THERE WERE SOME REALLY GREAT QUESTIONS IN THERE.

I WOULD HOPE THAT, UM, THE TEAM CAN INCORPORATE SOME OF THE ANSWERS TO THE PUBLIC'S QUESTIONS WITHIN THE ANSWERS THAT, THAT WE WILL POSE.

IF NOT, I'M SURE WE'LL QUEUE UP AGAIN AND POSE THEM AS WELL.

SO I JUST HAD A COUPLE OF, OF, OF AREAS I WANTED TO ASK ABOUT.

IN TERMS OF HOW WE GOT HERE.

WE, WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THE BILL.

WE'VE GOTTA ADHERE TO LEGISLATION.

UM, WE ANTICIPATE THAT THESE LOCATIONS WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN THAT THEY WILL WORK TO EDUCATE PEOPLE TO SLOW DOWN IN AREAS THAT, THAT WE KNOW THEY NEED TO SLOW DOWN JUST FROM A POLICY PERSPECTIVE.

AND IS IT ALLOWED, IF FOR SOME REASON, ANY OF THESE LOCATIONS DO NOT SEEM TO, WE NOTICE THAT PEOPLE AREN'T SPEEDING IN THOSE AREAS, THAT BEHAVIOR HAS ALREADY CHANGED, UM, OR IT'S LESS IMPACTFUL.

WE'RE JUST NOT SEEING THOSE KINDS OF CITATIONS AND EDUCATIONS.

IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY ONCE LOCATIONS ARE CHOSEN TO MOVE THEM WITHIN THE TIME OF THE PILOT PERIOD, OR IF WE APPROVE THESE, ARE THESE THE LOCATIONS FOR THE, THE LIFE OF THE SYSTEM? THAT'S THE FIRST QUESTION.

YEAH, THANKS FOR THAT QUESTION.

SO THE, THE GOAL OF THIS PROGRAM WOULD BE TO ROLL OUT THE 18

[00:35:01]

AND WE WOULD NOT BE THEN SHUFFLING THEM AROUND OR, OR RELOCATING THEM AS PART OF THE PROGRAM.

UH, OUR, OUR INTENTION WOULD BE TO TRACK THE DATA, MONITOR THE IMPACTS OF THE PROGRAM, AND THEN IF, UH, LET'S SAY AN ANOTHER AREA HAS A HIGHER NEED, LET'S SAY AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE, THEN HOPEFULLY THIS PILOT WILL BE SUCCESSFUL AND WE'D BE ABLE TO PETITION FOR ADDITIONAL LOCATIONS, UH, FOR THOSE OTHER HIGH NEED, HIGH NEED AREAS IN THE FUTURE.

OKAY.

GREAT.

UM, AND, AND ALONG WITH THAT, SO I NOTICED IF WE COULD GO TO THE SLIDE DECK PLEASE.

UM, ON THE SCORING, WE TALKED ABOUT OUR FOUR CRITERIA.

SO IT TALKED ABOUT, UM, STREET RACING, IT TALKED ABOUT PROXIMITY TO SCHOOLS.

I THINK IT'S BEFORE THIS, I HAVE MY, SORRY, I DIDN'T NOTE THE, UH, I DIDN'T NOTE THE PAGE NUMBER.

MY MISTAKE.

THERE IT IS.

UM, SO I SEE THAT WE HAVE, OBVIOUSLY SCHOOL ZONES CRASH SEVERITIES.

A LOT OF THE FOLKS TALKED TO WHAT WE KNOW WE EXPERIENCE, ESPECIALLY IN TERMS OF PEDESTRIAN SAFETY, FOLKS WALKING IN THOSE AREAS.

SO WE HAVE THIS METRIC OF FREQUENCY OF RACING AND STREET TAKEOVER EVENTS.

SO A COUPLE QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT IN TERMS OF HOW WE WEIGHTED THAT, BECAUSE WE KNOW AT ONE LOCATION IT'S VERY SEVERE, IT'S 30 INSTANCES.

UM, I AM HAVE, DO, DID OTHER PILOT CITIES USE THAT AS PART OF THEIR CRITERIA AS WELL IN WAITING IT? AND, UM, AND JUST THE OBSERVATION THAT THOSE EVENTS NORMALLY TAKE PLACE.

AND I KNOW, 'CAUSE I HEAR 'EM, UM, AFTER HOURS, THEY HAPPEN LATE AT NIGHT, 10 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT, AND WE KNOW THAT THEY ARE FRUSTRATING, WE KNOW THEY'RE DANGEROUS.

UM, WE KNOW WE DON'T WANT THEM HAPPENING, BUT WE ALSO KNOW THAT THAT DOESN'T IMPACT PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC IN THE SAME WAY THAT BEING NEAR A SCHOOL ZONE OR THE CRASH SEVERITY DOES.

SO COULD YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, UM, THE HOW AND THE WHY WE USE THAT AS A SCORING MECHANISM AND, UM, THE CONCERN THAT THEN THOSE INCIDENTS SPECIFICALLY WE'LL JUST MOVE TO OTHER LOCATIONS, WHICH MAY IMPACT HOW THE SYSTEM ROLLS OUT? YEAH, SO I'LL, I'LL ASK, UM, PAUL, OUR CITY TRAFFIC ENGINEER TO WEIGH IN ON SOME OF THE SPECIFICS.

BUT OVERALL, WHAT WE REALLY TRIED TO DO WAS TAKE A DATA BASED APPROACH ON ALL OF THIS, AND THERE WERE SOME REQUIREMENTS AS WE WENT THROUGH, AS PART OF THE SLIDE DECK THAT STIPULATE WHAT THOSE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS ARE ON THE STREET SEGMENTS WE CAN UTILIZE.

AND THEN WE WANTED TO EXPAND UPON THAT TO REALLY KIND OF HONE IN FROM SO MANY INTERSECTIONS ON THE HIGH INJURY NETWORK TO, OKAY, WHAT ARE THE, WHAT ARE THE AREAS OF THE GREATEST NEED WITHIN THE CITY? AND SO THESE ARE THE, THE FACTORS THAT WERE USED.

AND THEN THE, THIS, UH, SLIDE HERE, I KNOW I, I BREEZED OVER IT PRETTY BRIEFLY, BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT STREET RACING EVENTS, THEY, THEY SORT OF ARE HAPPENING IN, UH, SPECIFIC LOCATIONS.

SO THE TOP, UH, SEGMENT THERE ON ARTESIA BOULEVARD HAS 30 DIFFERENT STREET RACING EVENTS THAT WERE, THAT WERE NOTED.

UM, AND THEN THE NUMBERS, UH, FLUCTUATE ALL THROUGHOUT.

SO THERE IS A, A, A CORRELATION THERE OF THE, WHERE THOSE THINGS ARE HAPPENING AND WHERE THOSE STREET TAKEOVERS ARE HAPPENING, AND WE ARE LOOKING AT OPTIONS TO, TO SORT OF ADDRESS THAT AND MINIMIZE SOME OF THAT.

ANYTHING ELSE? PAUL? YEAH.

HI FOLKS.

UH, PAUL VAN D**E, CITY TRAFFIC ENGINEER.

UM, REALLY WHEN WE WERE DEVELOPING THE PRIORITIZATION, UH, PROCESS, OUR GOAL WAS TO HAVE MAXIMAL COMPLIANCE WITH WHAT'S IN THE VEHICLE CODE.

SO, UM, IT LAYS OUT BASICALLY THREE FACTORS TO DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY, AND WE SET OUT TO BE AS RESPONSIVE TO THOSE PROMPTS AS POSSIBLE.

SO, UM, THERE WERE THREE DETERMINANTS FOR WHETHER OR NOT A DEVICE COULD BE PLACED ON A GIVEN SEGMENT.

ONE WAS THOSE REPORTS ABOUT HOW MANY FOLKS ARE CONDUCTING STREET TAKEOVERS AND RACING.

THAT'S NUMBER ONE.

UM, THE OTHER ONE WAS WHETHER OR NOT IT'S ON ONE OF OUR HIGH INJURY NETWORK SEGMENTS.

UM, AND THEN NUMBER THREE IS WHETHER OR NOT IT'S CLOSE TO A SCHOOL.

SO, UM, THE SEGMENTS THAT ARE SHOWN ON THIS TABLE HERE WERE THE MOST RESPONSIVE OR HAD THE HIGHEST SCORES ACROSS THOSE THREE CATEGORIES.

SO BY THAT MEASURE, UM, YES.

UM, THE STREET TAKEOVERS, UM, WERE A FACTOR IN PRIORITIZING HERE.

UH, AS JOSH MENTIONED, SOME HAVE HIGHER LEVELS THAN OTHERS, BUT WE CERTAINLY DID BASE IT OFF OF THAT.

UM, I DO WANNA ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE WEREN'T THREE BULLETS ON THAT SLIDE.

THERE WERE FOUR, RIGHT? UM, SO IF WE GO, GO BACK THERE, RIGHT, IT HAS THE THREE, UM, BASICALLY ESTABLISHING, UM, FIGURES.

BUT, UH, THERE WERE A FEW LOCATIONS WHERE WE HAD, UM, SCORES FOR ALL THREE, BUT WE DID NOT OBSERVE PEOPLE SPEEDING MORE THAN 10 MILES AN HOUR OVER THE SPEED LIMIT.

SO ANOTHER FACTOR IN PLAY HERE WAS, WELL, WE WANT THESE DEVICES TO BE EFFECTIVE, RIGHT? SO IF NO ONE'S SPEEDING, WE DON'T NEED TO PUT A DEVICE THERE.

SO, UH,

[00:40:01]

GREAT.

THANK YOU.

UM, AND COULD WE GO BACK TO THE EDUCATION SLIDE AND THE ACCOMMODATIONS, UH, SLIDE PLEASE.

SO I THINK IT WAS POINTED OUT, AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A LOT, MANY OF THESE IN THESE HIGH IMPACT AREAS DO DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACT MORE DENSE PARTS OF OUR COMMUNITY AND LOWER INCOME PARTS OF OUR COMMUNITY.

AND THE CONCERN THAT, UM, AFTER THE EDUCATION PERIOD IS OVER, THEN THERE IS A DISPROPORTIONATE FINANCIAL IMPACT TO FAMILIES WHO MAY ALREADY BE STRUGGLING.

AND SO IF YOU COULD TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, UM, WHAT THOSE ACCOMMODATIONS LOOK LIKE, HOW THAT'S CONSIDERED, UM, IF THERE'S SPECIFIC PIECES IN THE LEGISLATION THAT ADDRESS THAT, BECAUSE WE KNOW, UM, IT'S AN EXTRA BURDEN FOR SURE, ANY TICKET'S AN EXTRA BURDEN, ESPECIALLY IF IT'S IN THESE HIGH FREQUENCY AREAS.

THANK YOU.

YEAH.

SEVEN.

YEAH.

SO I, I BELIEVE YOU'RE REFERRING TO THIS SLIDE, SLIDE SEVEN WITH THE, UM, THE LOWER INCOME FINE SECTION HERE.

SO THERE ARE, UH, REQUIREMENTS AND SPECIFICS WITHIN THE VEHICLE CODE THAT ALLOW US TO DO THIS.

WE'VE ALSO INTEGRATED THESE REQUIREMENTS INTO OUR SYSTEMS USE, UH, REPORT OR, OR SYSTEMS IMPACT REPORT AND SYSTEMS USE POLICY.

SO, UH, THESE ARE EMBEDDED IN THERE.

THE BULLETS THAT YOU SEE HERE, THE PAYMENT PLAN OPTIONS.

I BELIEVE ONE OF THE PUBLIC, UH, COMMENTERS HAD HAD NOTED A COMMUNITY SERVICE OPTION IN LIEU OF PAYMENT, UH, THAT IS BUILT INTO THE PROGRAM AS WELL, AS WELL AS THE REDUCED FINES FOR, UH, FOR FOLKS THAT ARE ON PARTICULAR GOVERNMENT ASSISTED PROGRAMS. THANK YOU.

AND I THINK I'VE GOT ONE MORE.

SO, AS YOU SAID, THIS IS TO REDUCE IMPACT.

WE KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT SAN FRANCISCO AND A 70, 70% DECLINE AFTER THEY'VE GOTTEN AN, UH, NOT A VIOLATION, BUT AN EDUCATION, A CITATION SAYING, DO IT AGAIN, AND THERE'S A FINE, WE KNEW THAT THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT DROP.

SO THE REVENUES, IF THERE ARE REVENUES GENERATED BEYOND WHAT THE PROGRAM COSTS, BECAUSE IT IS A COST RECOVERY FOR THE PROGRAM.

SO IF THERE ARE ADDITIONAL REVENUES THAT ARE IN, UM, FROM CITATIONS, WE KNOW THAT THAT'S FOR STREET SAFETY, AS YOU SAID, SPEED BUMPS, UH, FLASHING RAPID BEACONS, UH, CROSSWALKS, THOSE OTHER KINDS OF SAFETY THINGS.

DOES THE FUNDING HAVE TO STAY SPECIFICALLY WITHIN THE 18 CURRENT ZONES FOR IMPROVEMENTS? SO IF WE'RE INCURRING THE, IF WE GET THIS REVENUE BECAUSE OF THESE 18 LOCATIONS, DOES THAT REVENUE NEED TO BE SPENT BACK INTO SPECIFICALLY THOSE 18 LOCATIONS? OR ARE THERE OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPACT AND ADDRESS OTHER PARTS OF TOWN THAT ARE GETTING, THAT ARE IMPACTED BY HIGH RATES OF SPEED AND OTHER ACCIDENTS THAT WERE MENTIONED, UM, IN OTHER PARTS OF TOWN? IS, IS THE LEGISLATION SPECIFIC TO THAT ISSUE? YEAH, THAT'S A, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION AND SHORT ANSWER IS NO.

UH, WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT UTILIZING THE, ANY REVENUE THAT WE HAVE AS PART OF THIS PROGRAM FOR CITYWIDE TRAFFIC CALMING.

SO THIS IS A COMPONENT OF OUR OVERALL VISION ZERO PLAN AND PROGRAM, THE AUTOMATED SPEED ENFORCEMENT, UM, AS, AS WE HAD SHOWN ON, UH, ONE OF THE VERY FIRST SLIDES HERE IS REALLY JUST ONE COMPONENT.

WE ALSO WANNA MAKE SURE ONE OF THE, UH, PUBLIC COMMENTERS HAD MENTIONED SOME OF OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS.

WE ARE, AND OUR TEAM DILIGENTLY WORKS ON MAKING SURE THAT WHEN WE ROLL OUT NEW CAPITAL PROJECTS, WE'RE INCLUDING SOME OF THESE SAFE STREETS VISION ZERO ELEMENTS INTO THEM, UH, THAT WAY WE'RE ADDRESSING 2.1 AS SHOWN ON THE SCREEN.

AND THEN AS PART OF THIS PROGRAM, ANY REVENUE WE RECEIVE, WE'D REINVEST IN THE 2.2, UH, THE REDUCTION OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, SPEED LIMITS, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY OUR LOCAL TRAFFIC CALMING EFFORTS.

SO A LITTLE BIT MORE LONG-WINDED, BUT, UH, SHORT ANSWER IS NO, WE, WE UTILIZE THE FUND CITYWIDE.

GREAT CHAIR KERR.

THANK YOU.

IT'S BEEN, I KNOW THAT'S MY TIME, SO I WILL, UH, PASS TO MY VICE CHAIR.

UH, COUNCILMAN THRASH UNTUCK, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

UM, THANK YOU TO OUR CHAIR FOR BRINGING THIS MATTER BEFORE US TODAY.

I THINK IT'S QUITE TIMELY.

UM, AND THANK YOU TO THE STAFF FOR, UH, ALL OF THE TECHNICAL EXPERTISE AND ACTIVITIES THAT YOU'VE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE TO GET US TO THIS MOMENT.

SO, UM, I'LL WALK THROUGH, UH, SOME OF MY, UH, PERCEPTIONS ABOUT TODAY'S PRESENTATION.

UM, JUST SO YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I AM LOOKING AT AS WELL IS, UM, HOW DO WE, UM, MANAGE SENSITIVE LAND USES THAT ARE IN OUR COMMUNITY AND MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE DOING ALL WE CAN AROUND TRAFFIC CALMING IN OUR SCHOOLS, DAYCARES, SENIORS, AND ESPECIALLY AROUND OUR FIRE FACILITIES.

UM, SO THAT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT'S IN THE BACK OF MY MIND AS WELL THAT I'M THINKING ABOUT.

UM, AS WE ROLL OUT THIS OVERALL

[00:45:01]

I THINK IT SPEAKS TO A NUMBER OF QUALITIES THAT OUR CITY HAS, UM, THAT THE STATE WOULD ENTRUST US WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO LEAD ON THIS MATTER.

UM, BUT AS MY COLLEAGUES HAVE POINTED OUT, AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC, UH, WE PROBABLY NEED TO DO ALL WE CAN TO CATCH UP, UH, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ABLE TO GET THIS PILOT IMPLEMENTED, UM, IN A TIMELY MANNER SO THAT WE CAN USE ALL OF THE TIME, UM, THAT IS AVAILABLE TO US DURING THIS PILOT.

UM, I NOTED ON, UH, SLIDE FIVE THAT YOU, UH, TALKED ABOUT GLEANING LESSONS FROM SA FROM THE SAN FRANCISCO AREA.

UM, AS WE CONTINUE TO BUILD OUT THIS PRESENTATION THAT I EXPECT WILL BE PRESENTED TO, UH, THE BODY, INCLUDING OUR ENTIRE, ALL OF OUR, UH, COLLEAGUES ACROSS THE DAIS HERE, I THINK IT'D BE GOOD TO PULL OUT WHAT SOME OF THOSE ARE, UM, SO THAT WE HAVE SOME CONTEXT AS TO WHAT SOME OF THOSE LESSONS LEARNED HAVE BEEN, UM, AS WE CONTINUE TO, UM, REFINE WHAT OUR STRATEGIES HERE WILL BE.

I'M ALSO INTERESTED, AND WE CAN FIGURE OUT WHEN QUESTIONS GET ANSWERED, UM, BUT I AM INTERESTED IN THE DEVICE, UH, THAT IS CURRENTLY ALREADY AWARDED IN BOTH SAN FRANCISCO AND OAKLAND.

UH, I KNOW YOU TALKED ABOUT ENGAGING OAKLAND AND THE CITY OF OAKLAND AND THEIR DEVICE, AND I'M WONDERING IF IT'S THE SAME COMPANY AND THE SAME DEVICE THAT BOTH, UH, JURISDICTIONS ARE USING ACCORDINGLY.

SO HOLD ON TO THAT QUESTION.

UH, WE CAN COME BACK TO THAT.

UM, I AM ALSO, UM, JUST AS I WAS LOOKING AT AND CONSIDERING SLIDE SIX, UM, THERE IS CERTAINLY CONCERN REGARDING, UH, WHAT DATA WILL BE COLLECTED REGARDING WHO RECEIVES A CITATION.

UM, BUT IN ADDITION TO THAT, I'M WONDERING IF THAT IS EVER MADE PUBLIC IN ANY WAY.

UM, DOES THAT INFORMATION EVER REACH, UH, THE PUBLIC SPHERE WHO MIGHT BE RECEIVING A CITATION AND ANY OTHER CHARACTERISTICS ABOUT, UM, AN INDIVIDUAL WHO MIGHT RECEIVE THEM OTHER THAN WHERE A CITATION MIGHT HAVE BEEN, UH, MADE AND FOR WHAT PURPOSE? UM, SO THAT'S A, THAT'S ANOTHER QUESTION I'D LOVE TO GET FEEDBACK ON.

ON SLIDE SEVEN, UH, YOU NOTE, UM, THAT THERE ARE STANDARD FINES.

UM, MY QUESTION HERE IS RELATED TO WHETHER THERE'S A MODIFICATION THAT'S POSSIBLE, OR DOES THE LEGISLATION ONLY SET OUT THESE FINES AS THE FINES THAT WE CAN SET? I'D SPECIFICALLY BE INTERESTED IN SOMEONE WHO WAS A REPEAT, UM, OFFENDER OF, UM, GOING BEYOND THE SPEED LIMIT, ESPECIALLY AT THOSE HIGHER LEVELS, UM, MULTIPLE TIMES.

I'D WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE DID ALL WE COULD TO DETER, UM, THAT KIND OF BEHAVIOR FROM THE SAME DRIVER, UM, OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

ALSO, UM, THIS QUESTION WOULD BE ONE THAT I WOULD ASK YOU TO HOLD ONTO AS WELL.

UM, A PART OF WHAT WE'VE SEEN HERE TODAY IS A MAJOR INVESTMENT THAT THE CITY HAS HAD TO MAKE, BOTH IN OUR STAFFING TIME, TECHNICAL STUDIES, INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WILL HAVE TO BE PLACED ALONG OUR, UH, STREETS, UM, IN, IN ADDITION TO PROCURING THE DEVICE.

AND ALL OF THAT HAS BEEN A CAPITAL OUTLAY THAT THE CITY HAS DONE, UM, REALLY JUST BASED ON THE MANDATE THAT I DON'T BELIEVE CAME WITH ANY RESOURCES FOR US TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

UM, WITH THAT IN MIND, AS WE, UH, LOOK TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS AS AN ENTIRE DAIS, I'D BE VERY INTERESTED IN SEEING A BUDGET THAT GIVES A SENSE OF WHAT THAT CAPITAL OUTLAY HAS BEEN SO FAR.

UM, ANY ANALYSIS THAT WE MIGHT HAVE ABOUT WHAT WE WOULD EXPECT IN TERMS OF REVENUE, UM, SO THAT I COULD AT LEAST HAVE A SENSE OF, YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH ARE WE SPENDING, HOW MUCH MIGHT WE BE ABLE TO GET BACK, UM, JUST TO RECOUP THE COST OF IMPLEMENTING THE PROGRAM, AND THEN HAVE A SENSE OF WHAT THAT PROFORMA MIGHT LOOK LIKE GOING FORWARD AS WE CONSIDER WHETHER THERE'S GOING TO BE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO DO THE REAL WORK, WHICH IS TO INVEST IN OUR NETWORK IN SUCH A WAY SO THAT WE GET TO VISION ZERO AND HAVE SAFER STREETS ACCORDINGLY.

SO I'D LOVE TO MAKE SURE THAT MY COLLEAGUES AND I ARE ABLE TO REVIEW THAT BUDGET, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF BEING ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE OVERALL PROGRAM AND KNOWING WHAT WE ARE INVESTING IN.

I NOTED IN OUR, UM, SLIDE PRESENTATION THAT, UM, WE DID NOT REALLY SET OUT LIKE THE CLEAR SENSE OF HOW LONG THIS PILOT INITIATIVE WOULD GO.

WE TALK ABOUT WHEN IT STARTS, BUT WE DON'T TALK ABOUT WHEN IT ENDS.

SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE PUBLIC TO HAVE A SENSE THAT 2032, UM, IS OUR NORTH STAR, AND IT IS DURING THAT TIME PERIOD THAT WE WILL BE CONDUCTING THIS ANALYSIS, UM, AND HAVING A SENSE OF HOW THE PILOT IS ROLLING OUT ACCORDINGLY.

ON SLIDE EIGHT, I NOTED THAT YOU HAD, UH, DEVICES CANNOT BE PLACED ON STATE HIGHWAYS.

I IMAGINE THAT WHEN THE STATE MOVED FORWARD WITH THIS, UH, THEY WERE LOOKING TO

[00:50:01]

BUT FRANKLY, BEING A CITY THAT HAS, UH, A MAJOR STATE HIGHWAY THROUGH IT, UM, I WOULD THINK THAT THIS MIGHT BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO ADVOCATE, UH, AT LEAST BEYOND THE PILOT FOR THE EXPANSION OF BEING ABLE TO INCLUDE THOSE, UM, DEVICES ON, UM, STATE HIGHWAYS, UH, BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A INTEGRAL PART OF OUR CITY AND OUR, UH, STREET NETWORK.

UM, AND I'M IMAGINING THAT MY COLLEAGUE ACROSS HERE, UH, MIGHT AGREE IN TERMS OF MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE, UM, RESOURCES FOR PCH, FOR EXAMPLE.

AND THEN, UM, MOVING ON TO OTHER COMMENTS AND THOUGHTS THAT I HAVE.

UM, TAKING A LOOK AT SLIDE 13, UM, I NOTED THERE THAT, UM, ESPECIALLY AMONG THE NEED-BASED PRIORITIZATION LOCATIONS, THERE ARE VARYING SIZES AND LENGTHS OF THE SEGMENTS.

UM, SO THE PUBLIC MAY NEED TO UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT MORE AS TO WHY SOME SEGMENTS ARE MUCH LONGER OR SHORTER, UM, THAN OTHERS.
