CityCouncil | 2010-06-01 | 24 | The Public Works Director stated the matter is being fine-tuned. Councilmember/Board Member/Commissioner Gilmore stated that she assumes there would be a similar process with AC Transit. The Public Works Director stated a similar process would be done with AC Transit eventually. Councilmember/Board Member/Commissioner Tam stated everything takes time; inquired whether there is enough time to gather information for the June 21st Planning Board Meeting. The Public Works Director responded the exact ferry terminal location is less important than the idea of what to have; stated the traffic model would not be that sensitive and the Board could see how to interrelate transit and land development density. Councilmember/Board Member/Commissioner Gilmore inquired whether the ferry terminal would be somewhere in the seaplane lagoon. The Public Works Director responded the seaplane lagoon is being proposed; stated the proposal is a transit hub in the seaplane lagoon with a ferry terminal at the northeast corner; staff has had discussions with WETA regarding whether there will be enough ridership to bifurcate from Oakland and move the ferry to the seaplane lagoon; that he would like to discuss adding Harbor Bay; WETA only wants to take on new ferry service out of the seaplane lagoon if it is financially feasible and the ridership is there; otherwise, the ferry terminal would remain at the Main Street terminal; there would be shuttles from Alameda Point to the seaplane lagoon by the end of the 3rd phase. In response to Councilmember/Board Member/Commissioner deHaan's inquiry, the Public Works Director responded WETA's boats accommodate 119 and 159 passengers. Councilmember/Board Member/Commissioner deHaan stated other options need to be reviewed; other options are getting few and far between; today's generation will change employers many times; the vast majority of employees are in the south bay; Concord does not have any bus service; BART is available in Dublin but is limited in other areas; the City had three years of commitment; SunCal should have had the issue ironed out. Mayor/Chair Johnson inquired whether the matter should be sent back to the Planning Board, the majority of Councilmembers/Board Members/Commissioners responded in the negative. The Deputy City Manager - Development Services stated action is needed on the Special Joint Meeting Alameda City Council, Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority, and 13 Community Improvement Commission June 1, 2010 | CityCouncil/2010-06-01.pdf |
