Good roads or good jobs?

Tomorrow, the San Jose City Council will consider "an agreement" between the city and Samsung Semiconductor to allow for up to $7 million in incentives. As many of you know I have been writing a series of posts describing California cities desperate attempt just to keep their roads maintained. San Jose needs to spend $100 million each year over the next 10 years just to maintain the current level of road quality, but in the last few years the city has roughly averaged about $5 to $ 10 million from the general fund to maintain our roadways. So one way to look at the incentive package proposed for Samsung is about the same that the city commits to road repair each year, or about 10% of what is needed.

The fear is that Samsung will take its R&D proposal and move to Austin where they will, according to city officials offer even greater financial incentives. But Texas officials already have a track history of huge giveaways to large corporations. According to a database of state incentive packages published on the New York Times website Austin has already granted Samsung alone $232 million, through the Texas Enterprise Fund, the Tax Refund for Economic Development, and Texas' Chapter 313/Economic Development Act.

So in preparation for tomorrows meeting I have included a link to a great series of articles written by Louise Story, an investigative journalist for the New York Times. The series is titled "United States of Subsidies" and examines business incentives and their impact on jobs and local economies.

Here is a radio interview with Louise on Fresh Air with Terry Gross.

Hedding St. maintenance project underway

Construction signs are out on 10th and
Hedding Streets.

The San Jose City voted unanimously on August 21, 2012 to add bike lanes to Hedding Street between the Guadalupe River Trail and Seventeenth Street. This bicycle infrastructure project was to piggyback on the urgently needed maintenance project for that stretch of road. While riding along Hedding yesterday morning I got a shot of some of the work in progress. Actually the contractor started a couple of weeks ago. I am not sure of the estimated completion date.

Parking again on the San Jose City Council Agenda - This time it's a good thing.

The San Jose City Council Agenda for Tuesday, September 11, 2012 will include one transportation related item concerning the cities promotion of a downtown carsharing service by allowing for parking spaces.

The agenda item reads:

6. TRANSPORTATION & AVIATION SERVICES
6.1 Carshare Vehicle Parking Incentives.
Recommendation: Adopt a resolution to repeal Resolution No.76177 and set forth an updated Master Parking Rate Schedule to authorize the Director of Transportation to designate up to 20 on-street and off-street parking spaces for exclusive parking privilege for participants in a Carshare Pilot Parking Program in accordance with California Vehicle Code Section 22507.1 for an 18 month pilot period and set the parking permit fee of $35 per vehicle and sign/marking fee of $225 per location, and authorize the Director of Transportation or designee to negotiate and execute parking agreements and amendments with car share service providers for participation in the pilot parking program. CEQA: Not a Project, File No. PP10-066, Agreements/Contracts. Council District 3. (Transportation)

Zipcar lot just south of the '88

This agenda item will seek to approve a vote for a council resolution (pdf link) allowing for the parking spaces. Hans Larsen, Director of the Department of Transportation gives some background on the recommendation in this memo to the Mayor and City Council dated August 20, 2012. Currently ZipCar has expanded their carsharing network to San Jose, but decided to do it without any help from the city by parking their cars on visible lots downtown. I have spotted a group of about three ZipCars in the parking lot just south of the Safeway store in the 88 building.

San Jose City Council Votes to create a key east/west corridor on Hedding St.



Councilmember Sam Liccardo (l)

Yesterday in an evening council session in San Jose the council voted in favor of creating key east/west corridors on Hedding Street and Ocala Ave. The vote was after three amendments were added in a memo submitted by Councilmembers Sam Liccardo, Rose Herrera and Xavier Campos. The motion put forward by the downtown Councilmember Liccardo and seconded by Herrera was unanimously approved with Counilmember Pete Constant absent last evening.

After Councilmember Liccardo put forward the motion, over 20 public speakers spoke in favor of the bicycle lanes. Only five spoke out against the motion including one cabdriver who made some very outlandish claims that the existing bike lane improvements on 10th and 11th cause extreme delays amounting to over $1,600 in losses monthly to his business. I found it odd since the bike lanes have only been completed and fully operational for only two weeks (San Jose opens bike lanes, offers plans for bicycle, pedestrian safe downtown -August 16,2012).

Most of the cyclists showed up to show support after a skewed article appeared in the San Jose Mercury News the morning after a public meeting was held at the Joyce Ellington Library in Japantown. The article was featured in a popular post on the Cyclelicious website.

Councilmembers Liccardo, Herrera, Campos, Kalra, Oliverio and Nguyen highlighted their yes votes with additional comments. Councilmember Herrera who has been a supporter of cycling in the past comment how the lanes proposed on Ocala and Hedding along with this month's new downtown lanes "reflects our vision,and on living out our values by putting words into action."

Vice Mayor Madison Nguyen comment how she has noticed on her way to the office that there appeared to be less speeding on the one way streets such as 3rd, 4th, 10th and 11th. She mentioned that this will help with all users sharing the road.

Speakers who spoke in favor of the bike lanes included mothers, bike commuters, new cyclists, advocates, and participants in San Jose Bike Party. It is great to see participants of San Jose Bike Party starting to stand up publicly in favor of increased cycling infrastructure. This months ride featured the new buffered bike lanes on 10th Street. According to Manuel Pineda - Deputy Director of San Jose DOT workis expected to begin in October.

Some comments by council members
Campos: Supports the motion because "many in my district must walk or bike to work".
Nguyen: "Good compromise...working with the best resources we have. Don't know if cycling has increased but I noticed that auto speeds have decreased. I see it on my commute to and from office....very important to reduce speeds and share the road. We are moving in the right direction.
Herrera: "This motion reflects our vision....living out our values...puts our words into action>."
Kalra: " I am supporting the motion...lanes have caused a traffic slowdon...its like reconstructive surgery...it will change who we are as a city....we will start to think differently. Increase the health of our children....recognize how dangerous many of our streets are."
Oliverio: Thank Sam Liccardo for hiscollaboration skills. "...I will be interested to observe what happens...see how it works. We are limited in what we can do about speed limits. We have no flexibility. California Assembly should legislate speed limit controls back to the city."
