Skyline Blvd is a dangerous street for cyclists, with deaths and severe injuries. Skyline is not scheduled for paving until 2028. Present explanation of prioritization, and determine whether Skyline priority should be changed ● Improve traffic calming when streets are paved. Include (not limited to): ○ Installation of traffic circles ● Tax for Waymo. Waymo may soon be traveling in Oakland. Will this increase traffic? Waymo frequently travels without passengers. Should Oakland take a specific stand on any of the following: ○ Vehicles Miles Traveled tax. AB1421 for 2025-2026 session, with pilot program SB339 ○ Deadheading charge, or empty mile surcharge. Probably requires a change in state law. SF and Berkeley have a transport network, but this does not include miles without passengers, which are not taxed but increase traffic ○ Clean miles standard, implemented by California Air Resources Board (CARB)
