Ken Kratz 4:24

Uh uh I do, Chair. Yes. This is Ken Kratz. Um I just wanna check a kind of a comment and a question to staff. Oh. On page five. uh rec uh D six six four one the annual paving project Uh you have a comment about uh it was something that I brought up during that uh item about Proposed relocation of the bicycle lanes on Calabasas Boulevard and you mentioned here in the minutes that you're just looking to swap left to right side. And my comment and question is, could that also include In your public outreach. Examples of protected bike lanes where we could put If we move it to the right. With the bikes towards the center line. and put the bikes between the parked cars and the curb. Could could that be part of that um public outreach?

Carol Sherriot 5:32

Um I think we'll have to take a look at that to be able to see if that's an option or not.

Ken Kratz 5:40

Yeah, I'm just saying for public outreach uh things. Uh you'd still want to kind of look at that before you even suggest it. Is that what you're saying?

Carol Sherriot 5:47

Yes.

Ken Kratz 5:48

Just

Carol Sherriot 5:48

to make sure it's feasible.

Ken Kratz 5:50

Yeah. Okay. Uh the reason I bring it up is that the stret the vast stretch of it, uh, most of the homes front the side streets. So basically looking at the side yards going down. I've been down in many I live in that neighborhood. So I'm thinking that it and there's very few parked cars, but there's a few. So I'm just thinking it might be a real simple thing to do. Thank you. Thank you.

Unknown 6:16

All right. If that was the only comment or correction, can I have a motion to approve the minutes? I motion to approve the minutes. Mayor Nair.

Ken Kratz 6:28

There's one or small typo. It's on page five again. You've got the fellow's name wrong, public speaker under item C twenty six six four six four zero. I think it's supposed to be Jordan if you see page eight and ten. So instead of John J-O-N, it should be J-O-R-D-A-N.
