CityCouncil | 2016-02-02 | 15 | Councilmember Oddie moved introduction of the ordinance. Vice Mayor Matarrese seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. (16-051) Recommendation to Approve the AC Transit Service Expansion Plan's Buena Vista Avenue/Line 19 Alternative. The Transportation Coordinator gave a Power Point presentation. *** Mayor Spencer left the dais at 10:05 p.m. and returned at 10:06 p.m. Vice Mayor Matarrese inquired whether the Measure BB monies are Alameda City designated monies. The Transportation Coordinator responded AC Transit has enough money for a 14% increase districtwide, which provides one additional bus line in Alameda running at 30 minute frequencies. Vice Mayor Matarrese inquired whether the money provided is Alameda's portion, to which the Transportation Coordinator responded in the affirmative. Vice Mayor Matarrese inquired whether the new service would start in the summer cycle, to which the Transportation Coordinator responded in the affirmative. Vice Mayor Matarrese inquired whether Council has to vote now to make the window and not defer to the fall cycle, to which the Transportation Coordinator responded in the affirmative. Mayor Spencer inquired whether Vice Mayor Matarrese and Councilmember Daysog serve on the liaison committee and were able to weigh in on the plan, to which the Transportation Coordinator responded in the affirmative. Vice Mayor Matarrese stated both he and Councilmember Daysog were at the meeting when AC Transit requested to make a decision on the three options; staff arranged it so the Transportation Commission could review and make recommendations so that it could come to Council to meet the AC Transit deadline of March and be included in the summer cycle; route changes are in the summer and the fall; if the window is missed, the City misses out on the 14% of Measure BB money for six months. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the recommended line is Vice Mayor Matarrese and Councilmember Daysog's recommendation, to which Vice Mayor Matarrese responded in the affirmative.
