Downtown Access Committee (DAC) Study-Harry Freitas, Dept. of Transportation

Harry Freitas provided an overview of Downtown growth. The DAC is recommending reverting a number of the one-way couplets back to two way traffic. These include 3rd and 4th St north of Julian, 10th and 11th north of Santa Clara, Julian and St James east of 4th, and Vine and Almaden. The recommendation for 10th and 11th south of Santa Clara is to keep it as a one-way couplet for now, but reduce each street to two lanes with bike lanes and traffic calming measures.

Lisa Jensen presented Mike Brilliot a gift, thanking him for all the hard work that he has put in on our revitalization plan.
