And there's just a tiny, tiny little loading zone.

So that was challenging.

I mean, the nice thing about these projects coming before us now is that we can kind of better plan around

the realities of modern day multifamily living in Silicon Valley.

I think there are really two things that you need to think about, or I think the applicant has probably done this enough that they thought about this, but there's really two primary use cases.

There's the five to 10 minute quick in and out, which is DoorDash, Waymo,

Uber, for the most part, they're not sitting and waiting.

And in those cases, I think if the plan is, if my understanding of the plan long-term is to have a protected bike lane that jogs in, and so the vehicle, the cut-in where a vehicle might stop

five or 10 minutes isn't actually crossing the person on the bike's path of travel, then I'm a little, it's not completely safe, but it's safer than if the cutout is such that you have to cross through the bike lane, so I'm not sure the exact final design.

But the other thing, and the thing that we've bumped into a lot is in a multifamily complex, you have a lot of people, you have people constantly moving in and out every month or two, right?

The real issue there is that you have these larger moving vans and moving trucks that aren't just going to be there for five or 10 minutes.

They're going to be there for an hour or two.

And in those cases, those you can easily direct to specific spots, either back in the parking area, the back of the building.

Maybe there are some number of parking spots that are

dedicated to those large vehicles.

But I will, whoever said this is correct.

I think it was our public works director, when you're plugging in your destination and it's 490 East Middlefield,

unless you're really diligent about placing that pin on Ellis or maybe on a named alley, you're gonna end up on middle field for better or worse.

So I think we probably do need to think about some sort of carve out and my preference would be for something that doesn't cross through a bike lane if perhaps there's a way to

have the bike lane duck in with the traffic, but then you have the person loading and unloading has to look out for the bike lane.
