Councilmember Matarrese stated that nothing prevents having multiple hubs; the West End does not have other places for a ride share lot. Councilmember Gilmore stated the staff report notes that the development of a sewer master plan and design to upgrade existing drainage improvements would need to be deferred. The Supervising Engineer stated staff time would be impacted; the bicycle master plan update could be delayed also. Councilmember Gilmore stated that said delays are not good trade- offs. The City Manager stated applying for grant funding can be done now. Mayor Johnson stated transit hub locations should be reviewed; the proposed area may be okay for a park-and-ride but not a transit hub; staff can apply for a park-and-ride grant and review the transit hub issue. The Supervising Engineer stated that staff is reviewing the idea of adding a queue jump lane at Webster Street as part of the Tinker Avenue Extension Project; the park-and-ride lot could tie into the Posey Tube entrance. Councilmember Matarrese noted that staff provided drawings that show configuration and aerial views. The City Manager stated that staff would update Council on the grant application.
