Campbell unveils progress on multimodal transportation plan, seeks expanded community input
Summary
Project manager Tiffany Hudson told the Parks & Recreation Commission the city's multimodal plan will produce a prioritized list of infrastructure projects and up to six grant-ready concept designs; phase one outreach drew about 1,500 direct participants and more than 1,800 public comments.
Tiffany Hudson, project manager for Campbell's multimodal transportation plan, told the Parks and Recreation Commission that the plan aims to "have a citywide plan that improves mobility for everyone for all abilities and all ages." She said the effort, funded in part by a Caltrans grant and developed with Alta Planning and Design, Fair and Peers and Catalyze Silicon Valley, is intended to shape future city workplans and improve the city's competitiveness for implementation grants.
Hudson laid out draft goals that prioritize roadway safety, network connectivity, equity, health and sustainability, and funding and implementation. She described deliverables that include a community-prioritized list of projects and programs and up to six concept plans that would be packaged as "grant-ready" designs to help the city pursue competitive funding.
The project team completed an existing-conditions analysis that examined safety, equity, traffic stress for cyclists, active-trip potential and transit access. Hudson said phase one outreach used pop-up events, walking and biking audits, a virtual workshop, a web map and targeted outreach to harder-to-reach groups; she reported phase one engagement reached "tens of thousands" online, directly engaged roughly 1,500 community members and generated more than 1,800 comments.
Hudson said phase two, launching in spring 2026, will focus on refining project recommendations and priorities through additional pop-ups, an in-person community workshop, technical advisory committee meetings and a new web map that will show areas under consideration and allow residents to comment on recommended corridors and potential bikeways. She offered to share the web map and event schedule with commissioners when the materials are published in April.
Commissioners asked how the plan coordinates with neighboring jurisdictions and whether parks and community centers would be prioritized. Hudson confirmed San Jose is part of the interagency coordination group because many Campbell streets cross jurisdictional boundaries, and said the project team explicitly considers parks and schools as key destinations during prioritization. She also said implementation decisions typically rest with Public Works and that some projects could proceed as part of existing CIP projects, while others would be pursued through grant funding depending on available cycles.
The team expects to brief council in April, present a draft plan in early 2027 and seek adoption in spring'summer 2027.
