She also announces Transit Equity day on Feb 4th, she asks for approval to put the topic on the agenda to request that Council support Transit Equity day. Brouillard motions to add Transit Equity day to the agenda to request City Council support. Danner Seconds. Discussion: Danner asks if there would be enough time to get it on the agenda before the day. Peterson Adams states that it may not be, but it’s worth the effort to try. She mentions SOCAN is having a program on Feb 4th. Commission moved on without formalizing the motion. Topic added to New Business on current agenda. CONSENT AGENDA Approval of Minutes 12.17.20 Vièville motions to approve minutes with stated grammar corrections, Danner seconds. Commissioners approve minutes as amended. All ayes. Minutes approved. PUBLIC FORUM None. ACCIDENT REPORT: Officer MacLennan presents crash report as written in agenda packet, he comments that December has been a fairly quiet month for accidents. Vièville asks about the house on Faith street, and if it’s safe to go into the area of the house MacLennan mentioned in previous Commission meeting. MacLennan states there has been less activity recently, but that it’s a good idea to remain in lit areas while traveling through on foot. Brouillard asks clarifying questions regarding the traffic statistics provided. MacLennan discusses the possible correlation between a lower DUI rate and the bars being closed due to COVID-19 restrictions. NEW BUSINESS A. Support of Transit Equity Day- Peterson Adams reads letter of request for support from Ashland Climate Action Project of Southern Oregon Climate Action Now asking that the Transportation Commission support their request to City Council to formally recognize February 4, 2021 as Transit Equity Day. Vièville motions to support Ashland Climate Action Project of Southern Oregon Climate Action Now’s request for the formal recognition of February 4th, 2021 as Transit Equity Day. Danner seconds. All Ayes, Motion Carries. Fleury will reach out to City Manager with Commission’s motion. Hyatt asks if she ought to bring the information to Council as well, she gets support from the Commission to do so. ASHLAND TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION MINUTES January 21, 2021 Transportation Commission January 21, 2021 Page 2 of 3 These minutes are pending approval by this Commission B. Transportation Commission Council Presentation Outline- Peterson Adams wrote up an outline and asks Commission if they had any special requests that are currently not on the list. No Comment from Commission. Fleury states that after he wrote the memo contained in the packet he thought of additional discussion points for future topics. The first, regarding current regulations revolving the around the 1992 resolution for traffic control devices their requirements for installation and the City’s application thereof. Fleury recalls support for Commission to review the resolution and the possibility of making changes that will bring it up to date. The second, regarding the Commission taking another look at a residential parking permit program. Graf mention the parking change on A Street, and the installation of crosswalks on North Main, which has been on going. Brouillard brings up parking in the railroad district and B Street parking and if the topic will be on the presentation, Commission discusses. Peterson Adams will present projects as Biennium project rather than in just the next year when giving presentation to Council. Old Business- A. “20 is Plenty” update- Brouillard presents information contained in the report found in agenda packet. He reiterates that while “20 is Plenty” project does reach other Commission goals, in his opinion, the safety aspect is the most important, leading to more modal equity, he states he supports “20 is Plenty” in residential areas. He states Commission can recommend City Staff look in to researching more information. Commission discusses contacts made, and the opinions stated from various contacts. Commission discusses signage and precedents set by cities like Portland regarding 20mph residential areas. Brouillard asks Officer MacLennan what the speed limits are in residential areas that are not marked with signage. MacLennan states that it is set by the state at 25mph. He states that if the speed limit changes to 20mph in town, signs would need to be posted everywhere to retrain drivers. Commission discusses where signs could be posted and how education could be accomplished. Graf expresses his concerns that this project will not help with most of the Commission’s goals, and how it should be marketed. Borgerson expresses his support for lower speeds as it would lower issues and help with the traffic calming program but finds some issue with the carbon reduction argument. Commission discusses data and statistical analysis of data. Commission discusses what should be presented and what should be omitted from the argument for “20 is Plenty”. Hyatt interjects the idea that perhaps this program starts at the schools and works outward from those areas, due to the higher volume of bicycles and foot traffic around schools. Peterson Adams asks Fleury of the possibility of grant money for this project through the Safe Routes to School project. Danner clarifies if it is possible to select residential streets at a street by street bases rather than just all of them, or to exempt certain streets. Brouillard clarifies that those are indeed options, and it could tie into the Traffic Calming program for qualifying streets. Commission discusses outreach options. Borgerson motions to recommend to City Council to all Staff and the Transportation Commission to review lowering speed limits per ORS 810.180 within the City with safety as the primary consideration. Vielle Seconds. All ayes, Motion Carries. Discussion: Vivelle is concerned that the original motion might be too nebulous Fleury agrees to an extent and recommends the addition of “with participation from the Transportation Commission” to the motion. Discussion leads to motion change. Additional discussion leading to second motion: Brouillard wonders if there should be an addition to the motion that recommends that Council ask local Southern Oregon legislators that Transportation Commission be included in HB4103 when/if it is reintroduced. Commission decides it doesn’t hurt to ask. ASHLAND TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION MINUTES January 21, 2021 Transportation Commission January 21, 2021 Page 3 of 3 These minutes are pending approval by this Commission Brouillard motions that Commission recommend to City Council that they reach out to local Southern Oregon legislators to make sure Ashland is included in the reintroduction of HB4103. Vivelle seconds. All ayes, Motion Carries B. Capital Improvement Program- Fleury outlines additions to the CIP and goes over the content contained in meeting packet, including performance measures. Fleury recommends as part of a performance metric, that a minimum threshold gauge of 70 for the PCI (Pavement Condition Index) be included for the citywide pavement maintenance assessment as part of the transportation system. Fleury also includes and discusses previous budget vs forecasted revenue. Fleury also states he’ll have more information on the forecasted budget information (revenue/expense) at the next meeting but brought what he has currently to give the Commission an idea of what is being looked at. Fleury updates on CIP dashboard. Commission expresses support the inclusion of the PCI. Commission discusses road maintenance and upcoming potential budget issues. Commission discusses the potential of a City gas tax. Commission discusses various sections of road as priority for particular projects rather than others. Fleury asks that Commission to let Fleury know what direction they’d like him to go for additional information to bring back next meeting. Brouillard Motion for additional 5 minutes, Vivelle seconds.

Bike Corral Encroachment-Winburn.doc Memo Date: February 17, 2021 From: Scott A. Fleury To: Transportation Commission RE: Bike Corral Encroachment BACKGROUND: Before the Commission is an encroachment permit to install a bike corral parking system in an existing 15-minute space adjacent to the former Sesame restaurant. The owners of the restaurant are changing operations and requesting an encroachment for bike parking. Previously the Transportation Commission vetted a request by Standing Stone Brewery to install a bike corral system adjacent to the restaurant on Oak Street. Public Works is following the same process used in 2009 and requesting the Commission discuss and recommend a course of action. The final design and layout of the bike corral system is still to be determined by applicant. Figure 1: Proposed Location G:\pub-wrks\eng\dept-admin\TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION\Packets\2021 Packets\5.

Bike Corral Encroachment-Winburn.doc Figure 4: Standing Stone Bike Corral The building owner has provided verbal support for installation of a bike corral system, but would prefer the corral be installed on the Lithia Park side of Winburn Way adjacent to the restaurant location, while the business owners would prefer it to be located in the 15-minute spot. Access to the north side of Winburn Way sidewalk would be through the existing crosswalk for a corral system installed on either side of the roadway. CONCLUSION: Action required by Commission; provide a recommendation to the Public Works Director on acceptance or denial of the requested action including potential conditions of approval. Public Works and Administration support the installation of a bike corral system adjacent to the location at 21 Winburn Way in an existing 15-minute parking space. During the beginning portion of the previous “Revitalize Downtown Ashland” planning effort resident engagement cited a lack of bike parking downtown overall so the addition of bicycle parking would provide an overall public benefit outside the specific business scope.

Capital Improvement Program (February Biennium Review_Recommendation).doc Memo Date: February 11, 2021 From: Scott A. Fleury To: Transportation Commission RE: Capital Improvement Program-Roadway, Bicycle and Pedestrian Networks BACKGROUND: As per discussion at previous Commission meetings, staff has updated the “draft” version of the six-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) document, and it is attached for reference along with the fiscally constrained TSP project list. At the January meeting the Commission endorsed the use of a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) performance metric to be proposed on the 2021-2023 Budget. The Commission also discussed changes to the bicycle and pedestrian sections of the CIP and was interested in adding monetary resources towards the 20 is Plenty Program. Staff has placed $25k/year in the roadway section of the CIP for the 20 Is Plenty Program. The money requested for the program could also potentially facilitate other bicycle boulevard conversions outside of the projects developed within the 2/6 year CIP recommendations. Bicycle Network: Primary discussion for the bicycle network including pushing out bicycle projects for Main Street and Lithia Way until after completion of the Transportation System Plan update and finalizing a downtown plan. Staff has moved those two projects out to fiscal year 2026 as shown in figure 1, highlighted yellow. The net estimated project costs for these two bicycle improvements is $217,120. Staff has reviewed the bicycle network projects within the fiscally constrained plan and recommends replacing the N. Main Street and Lithia Way projects proposed for FY22/23 with the Laurel Street Bicycle Boulevard ($54,280-FY27) and B Street Bicycle Boulevard ($108,560- FY31). The Commission has been previously apprised of resident concerns regarding speeds on Laurel Street between Orange Avenue and Nevada Streets and the Traffic Impact Analysis for the proposed development at the ends of Randy Street and Otis Street confirm higher than anticipated speeds specifically in the school zone area. The B Street project could be coupled with changes to residential parking and the proposed Eighth Street Bicycle Boulevard project scheduled for FY23 Pedestrian Network: Additional discussion involved sidewalk installation priorities based on high priority projects in the fiscally constrained portion of the TSP. Staff discussed coordinating the Walker Avenue sidewalk project with the Walker Avenue bicycle boulevard project in the current biennium, but the Commission wanted more time to review the fiscally constrained pedestrian projects in G:\pub-wrks\eng\dept-admin\TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION\2021 Staff Memos\February 18, 2021\Packet\6. Capital Improvement Program (February Biennium Review_Recommendation).doc conjunction with the map (figure 7-1) before making a final recommendation. The Commission was interested in the potential to fill in gaps in the neighborhood around Iowa Street (Lincoln, Garfield, Avery, Bridge and Wightman). The Wightman sidewalk project should be combined with the street overlay project scheduled for after 2030. Figure 1: Iowa Street Area Sidewalk Infill Projects P23: Wightman Avenue - coordinate with overlay (after FY30) P25: Walker Avenue - coordinate with overlay (FY27) P59: Garfield Street – currently programmed for FY25/26 no overlay scheduled P60: Lincoln – currently programmed for FY35 ($663,750) P61: California – currently programmed for FY37 ($737,500) Other considerations for sidewalk could include Park Street and Faith Avenue P65: Faith Avenue – currenty programmed for FY38 ($516,250) P70: Park Street – currently programmed for FY30 ($958,750) G:\pub-wrks\eng\dept-admin\TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION\2021 Staff Memos\February 18, 2021\Packet\6.
