The Economic Development Division Manager responded in the affirmative; stated the truck route is Park Street Bridge. Mayor Spencer stated the day after Thanksgiving 2014, there were many trucks going across Alameda; inquired if a provision could be added to the lease agreement to prevent said occurrence from happening. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft responded the event last year occurred when there were port stoppages up and down the coast, which is not a regular occurrence. Mayor Spencer stated that she has concerns with regards to the lease to not have that happen. The Economic Development Division Manager responded; Matson is not a large truck transit business; stated Matson will be using Pier 3, 3 days a month for items that cannot be transported via container.
