I'd like to implore the commission to investigate the Al Fresco Program. They have yet to approve a single application for parklets of the 85 that have been submitted. So far, all this program has done is remove temporary dining structures that everyone enjoyed (R street and Handle District). This function is owned by the city's parking manager, which creates a direct conflict of interest. Sacramento needs parklets and is far behind San Francisco, and Sacramento lacks the appropriate mechanism to add them.
Yet another SacATC agenda in which city policy is not on the agenda. The main task of SacATC should be to develop and review city policy, not to comment on specific projects. Specific projects are almost always a decision already made, and SacATC input is rarely used to improve the project.

Can the commission please provide an update on the formal complete streets policy required by resolution number 2019-0460?
