CityCouncil | 2006-10-17 | 27 | Alameda County subject to the CMA or just everyone generally. The City Engineer responded at least Alameda County because CMA requires that Voyager Cube be used for a General Plan update for CMA's link analysis; stated other traffic models can be used for the operational analysis. Councilmember Daysog inquired why the link analysis is important. The City Engineer responded the link analysis shows if there is sufficient capacity on roadway systems a deficiency occurs if there is not sufficient capacity; CMA would require that the situation be mitigated, which costs money. Councilmember Daysog inquired whether the EMM2 has a link analysis. The City Engineer responded in the affirmative; stated the CMA did not like the software. Councilmember Daysog seconded the motion.
