Adopted. The City Planner provided a handout and gave a Power Point presentation. Mayor Gilmore stated the Alameda Country Transportation Commission formed a subcommittee on which she and Councilmember Tam sit; the subcommittee arrived at a consensus that the solution does not only involve efficient ways to move cars in Oakland China Town and has made a commitment to do another traffic-pedestrian study to evaluate the impacts on pedestrians in China Town; two productive meetings were held with a lot of input from China Town; Alameda is interested in a solution, whatever it may be. The City Planner concurred with Mayor Gilmore; stated the transportation issue is a regional problem requiring the cooperation of Alameda and Oakland; continued his presentation. Councilmember Tam inquired if Alameda Point was way over capacity with 18,000 jobs at the Naval Air Station during its heyday. The City Planner responded in the affirmative, stated the Navy was the only employer; 24-hour workday shifts were staggered, however, the Tube was still backed up every afternoon; capacity in the tube under the regional model only looks at peak commute periods of the morning and evening.
