The commission reviewed the 60% design plans presented by consultants from Kimley Horn, discussing key elements such as protected bike lanes, pedestrian crossing upgrades, transit stop integration, and parking impacts. The project budget has increased from an initial $16 million to approximately $46 million, with additional funding being secured through Measure R and Measure M funds. The commission also discussed operational analysis and recommendations for the intersection of Fair Oaks Avenue and Grailia Street, addressing traffic weaving and turning movement issues with several proposed options.

The meeting included discussions on community outreach, parking district establishment, utility coordination, and environmental compliance related to the infrastructure improvements.
