COMMUNITY OUTREACH SUMMARY <br /> Feedback Received <br /> A total of 70 community members were engaged, and 88 comments were submitted on <br /> comment cards and via sticky notes on aerial maps. The community input reflected strong <br /> but mixed perspectives. Overall, the community sought a balanced approach that improved <br /> safety, accessibility, and transit reliability while maintaining reasonable traffic flow and <br /> addressing neighborhood security concerns. <br /> A summary of the comments include: <br /> • Many participants expressed support for a safer, more connected multimodal corridor <br /> — particularly protected bike lanes and dedicated bus lanes, with Option 6 most <br /> frequently favored and Option 8 also receiving support in congested segments. <br /> • Residents emphasized ADA-accessible bus stops, traffic calming, improved lighting, <br /> additional crosswalks, and clear separation between bikes, pedestrians, buses, and <br /> vehicles. <br /> • Some participants opposed removing travel lanes due to concerns about congestion <br /> and ongoing construction impacts. <br /> • Several individuals raised broader issues related to homelessness, cleanliness, and <br /> public safety. <br /> Following the event, a video presentation was posted online to give community members an <br /> additional opportunity to learn about the eight concepts, along with an Eight Design Options <br /> Preference Poll to identify which concept people preferred most. The video presentation and <br /> the poll are discussed later in this report. More than 690 views and more than 640 <br /> responses were received in the corridor preferences poll. <br /> First Street Multimodal Boulevard Study—24 <br />
