The Public Works Director responded only twenty-five percent could be used for a Park n' Ride lot the facility could not be lighted because of the proximity to the airport; headlights could not be used; the Port of Oakland was very dubious that the FAA would approve the use of a Park n' Ride lot, especially since the area would be needed for a safety landing zone; the Port of Oakland is only interested in purchasing the entire parcel; the usable area is on the lower portion; access would need to be via the Ron Cowan Parkway and would be difficult.
