CityCouncil | 2010-11-16 | 12 | bridge should be struck altogether. Councilmember Matarrese responded the bridge should be included but noted that the bridge is not probable. Mayor Johnson stated that she does not think any senator would put their name on a bicycle bridge; the City may be foregoing other opportunities waiting for the $60 million. The Public Works Director stated the item could be struck or language could state that the bridge most likely will never happen. Councilmember Matarrese stated the item could have a footnote stating that the issue was studied but is highly unlikely to happen. The Transportation Coordinator stated the footnote could include that the bridge would be deemed as infeasible because of funding. Vice Mayor deHaan stated the Webster Street Tube has a roadway along the side that only penetrates out to the Oakland side; staff should find a way to continue the roadway to the Webster Street area; inquired whether anyone has looked into the matter. The Public Works Director responded the difficulty is with the high retaining wall exiting the Webster Street Tube; stated Caltrans says that the retaining wall would need to be moved to provide for a bike lane. Councilmember Tam inquired whether modifications have been made to address school closure and consolidation issues. The Transportation Coordinator responded language could be inserted.
