In response to Mayor Johnson's request, Cesar Pujol, AC Traffic Engineer, provided a brief presentation. Councilmember Gilmore inquired whether Willow Street is wide enough for two buses to turn at the same time.

Councilmember deHaan stated Shoreline Drive is used for the Express W going to San Francisco inquired whether Shoreline Drive ever had other bus service and might have a higher ridership. Sean Diest Lorgion, AC Transit Transportation Planner, responded Shoreline Drive had bus service at one time; stated buses were rerouted during the 2003 service cuts; the bus schedule has approximately 50 minutes of running time; higher costs are incurred with higher running time. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether ridership or running time is more important; stated Shoreline Drive is adjacent to a higher density area. Mr. Lorgion responded another bus would be needed if more time was added to a route; stated a different part of the route could be cut. Councilmember Matarrese inquired why the bus would not stop after the crosswalk on Sandcreek Way. The Program Specialist II responded sufficient space is not available in the westbound direction; stated the eastbound direction has a loading zone. Councilmember Gilmore inquired what would be the distance between the crosswalk and bus stop on the opposite side of the street from Lum School. The Program Specialist II responded he did not have the measurement; stated the distance would be less than the other side.
