CityCouncil | 2015-02-03 | 2 | In response to Councilmember Oddie's inquiry, Ms. Jackson stated the night time closure schedule as: Monday through Thursday: 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., Friday: midnight to 5:00 a.m., Saturday: midnight to 7:00 a.m., and Sunday: 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Councilmember Oddie stated there should be electronic signage at the Interstate 880 exits informing drivers of the bridge closure; he is concerned drivers will have to turn around if they are not notified properly. In response to Councilmember Oddie's inquiry, Ms. Jackson stated changing the official name of the bridge has to go through State legislation; CalTrans will use the name "Bay Farm Island Bridge" on its website to avoid confusion. Councilmember Oddie stated that he would like to know how CalTrans was able to get the Coast Guard to close maritime operations on bridge. Councilmember Daysog inquired whether the closure would preclude emergency vehicles. Mr. Nguyen responded the contractor will be told to allow emergency vehicles to cross the bridge for emergency purposes. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated the electronic signage would not be useful notice if the Bay Farm Island Bridge name is not used; inquired whether there would be daytime closure. Mr. Nguyen responded the bike bridge will be closed from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated CalTrans should coordinate with School District; students use the bike bridge to get to and from school Mr. Nguyen agreed to coordinate with the School District and revise the bike bridge closure schedule as necessary. Vice Mayor Matarrese stated emergency vehicles should be truly coordinated, not just by informing the contractor. Mayor Spencer stated coordinating with the School District is important; the return trip is usually 3:00 p.m. and she does not want students stuck on the other side of the bridge. In response to Councilmember Oddie's inquiry, Ms. Jackson stated CalTrans could make a presentation to the school board.
