If we do nothing …

Our children will be the
first generation who will
 not live as long as their
          parents
If you build it right, they
        will come
Target new homes & jobs along the corridor
Mix homes, jobs, shops and parks in an attractive
manner
Ensure walking is safe & convenient




   Make room for people to ride their bikes
Provide parks, plazas and other places that attract people
Preserve and accentuate unique characteristics of communities
Promote other modes of travel, like transit, to reduce traffic
Encourage development that is environmentally sensitive
Manage parking needs thoughtfully
Focus on the health &
 safety of all who use
      the corridor
With change comes concerns about
            TRAFFIC
• Households living near transit own half as
  many cars as the average household
With change comes concerns about
           HIGH RISES
Your advocacy for a walkable,
 bikable, livable San Mateo
County will help determine the
 health of your children and
          the planet

Green Exercise


• Short periods of
  outdoor exercise =
      – More self esteem
      – Better mood
      – Particular self esteem
        improvement in
        young and mentally ill

Consumer Choice?

• Most communities’ zoning
  and street design codes have
  made it illegal to create
  walkable neighborhoods
               General Plan
• Walkable neighborhoods are     Update
  undersupplied
• Housing consumers will pay
  a premium for walkable
  neighborhoods

Consumer Choice

• Walk Score

• Scale
   • 0 = no walkability
   • 100 = high walkability
   •   (Santa Cruz/El Camino = 97)

• Impact on housing
  value
• “One point of Walk
  Score is worth as
  much as $3,000”

Q & A Panel Session with:




Jean Fraser, Chief of the San Mateo County Health System

Jessica ter Schure, Principal of NelsonNygaard

Corinne Goodrich, San Mateo County Transit District

Katie Ferrick, Vice Chair of Menlo Park Planning Commission
Group Agreements

1. Speak Respectfully- Listen to understand, ask questions, be open to
   discussion, try to be open to different perspectives even if you don’t
   agree
2. Speak One at a Time- We want to be able to get to everyone and
   answer questions. Please help us do so by completing a card and
   submitting to the facilitator and speaking one at a time
3. Share the Stage- Notice when some are talking more than
   others. Make room for those quieter to ask questions and participate
4. Speak from your Own Experience- We may each have different
   perspectives on topic. Speak from this place, speak from your
   experience, check assumptions, and ask for clarification whenever
   needed.
5. Allow facilitator to guide the process
6. Technology Off/Silent
Group Discussion Questions

1. Where do you see yourself in 10 years and why? Where do you see your children in
   10 years and why? Where do you see Menlo Park in 10 years and why? What needs
   to happen today in order to provide for future generations?

2. How would YOU improve El Camino Real and the adjacent downtowns and
   neighborhoods? Do you have examples of what works well in other places that
   could be applied to the Grand Boulevard?

3. How do you get around your neighborhood, city, county, and region? Are there
   different types of transportation modes that you would like to use but cannot? Why?
   What needs to happen in order to make your trips safer and more efficient?

4. What age demographic do you fall within? Do you agree with the need to plan for
   changing demographics? For your age demographic, what do you want or need more
   of in your community? (in terms of land uses and transportation)

5. What are the key elements of a ‘healthy’ community? Which of these could be
   pursued more along El Camino or in your downtown?

What needs to happen today in order to provide for future generations? 2. How would YOU improve El Camino Real and the adjacent downtowns and neighborhoods? Do you have examples of what works well in other places that could be applied to the Grand Boulevard? 3. How do you get around your neighborhood, city, county, and region? Are there different types of transportation modes that you would like to use but cannot? Why? What needs to happen in order to make your trips safer and more efficient? 4. What age demographic do you fall within? Do you agree with the need to plan for changing demographics? For your age demographic, what do you want or need more of in your community? (in terms of land uses and transportation) 5. What are the key elements of a ‘healthy’ community? Which of these could be pursued more along El Camino or in your downtown?
