CityCouncil | 2013-01-14 | 6 | Stated the City was ahead of other cities in implementing policies; urged adoption: Jon Spangler, Alameda. Councilmember Tam moved adoption of the resolution. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. (13-027) Recommendation to Approve the Revised Draft Prioritized Transportation Project Lists. The Public Works Director gave a brief presentation. Councilmember Chen left the dais at 7:56 p.m. and returned at 7:58 p.m. In response to Mayor Gilmore's inquiry regarding public participation and acceptance, the Public Works Director responded there are two mechanisms: 1) the annual review would be publicized and provide the public an opportunity to give feedback, and 2) grant applications require a collaborative public outreach process. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft requested an explanation of the lifeline project designation. The Public Works Director stated lifeline terminology is used by CalTrans for bridge structures identified as usable after a credible, sizable seismic event; none of Alameda's bridges currently meet said criteria. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft requested an explanation of the "Estuary Crossing Minor Modifications to the tube" project. The Public Works Director stated several years ago the City went through a feasibility study for improving the estuary crossing for the Posey and Webster Tubes; several different alternatives, the short term and long term were identified; Council accepted the short term alternative and the City has worked with Caltrans; the intent is to bow the railing on the West side of the bike lane to widen it; the long term option is to provide a separate facility for bikes and pedestrians and to make sure that transit is accommodated. Stated the list is good and will continue to improve; urged approval: Jon Spangler, Alameda. Councilmember Tam moved approval of the staff recommendation. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 6 January 14, 2013 | CityCouncil/2013-01-14.pdf |
