COMPLETE STREETS PLAN EVENT SUMMARY: Approximately 40-60 community members, stopped by the Beverly Hills Complete Streets Plan booth at the City’s Earth Day event on Saturday, April 15, 2018. Participants were engaged in two main activities: 1) a sticker voting activity to identify the complete streets design strategies they most want to see in the City; and 2) a mapping exercise in which participants were asked to identify corridors, areas, and intersections in the City they would like to see this Plan improve. All participants were either Beverly Hills residents, workers, or those who visit the City regularly from adjacent neighborhoods. Consultant staff, City staff, and Health & Safety Commissioner Lisa Schwartz were on hand to answer questions and engage with participants. See response summary on page 2. SURVEY UPDATE: 186 survey responses have been collected as of 4/24/2018. The survey platform (Survey Monkey), captures respondent’s IP addresses to ensure each response is unique. To date, the survey has been advertised on the project’s website, at all project events, and social media. NEXT STEPS: The project team is preparing for three additional events to gather public input: 1) May 30th Workshop: This event will focus on gathering input on the draft maps identifying corridors and intersections this Plan proposes to improve. Recommended plan improvements have been informed by previous planning studies completed to date by the City, the existing conditions and best practice analysis being conducted by the Consultant team as part of this project, and feedback received from community members at the March 12th and April 15th events. 2) June 9th Complete Streets Walk Audit: Consultant team members and City staff are currently planning this event, which will consist of a walking tour of two half-mile corridor segments. This will be followed by group mapping exercises to document patterns of behavior observed on the walk, and to identify other areas of the City where participants have observed issues they want addressed through this Plan. 3) August 22nd Workshop: This workshop will summarize how community feedback has shaped plan recommendations and will present the Plan draft for a round of community input. Visit the project website (www.beverlyhills.org/completestreets) to stay up to date on event dates and details. Updates on this project will also be shared in monthly Traffic and Parking Commission (TPC) meetings.

EVENT SUMMARY: Approximately 40-60 community members, stopped by the Beverly Hills Complete Streets Plan booth at the City’s Earth Day event on Saturday, April 15, 2018. Participants were engaged in two main activities: 1) a sticker voting activity to identify the complete streets design strategies they most want to see in the City; and 2) a mapping exercise in which participants were asked to identify corridors, areas, and intersections in the City they would like to see this Plan improve. All participants were either Beverly Hills residents, workers, or those who visit the City regularly from adjacent neighborhoods. Consultant staff, City staff, and Health & Safety Commissioner Lisa Schwartz were on hand to answer questions and engage with participants. See response summary on page 2.
