Mayor Spencer inquired if the busses will connect to the Bart or the ferry. Mr. Del Rosario responded in the affirmative; stated it will connect to both. Mayor Spencer stated someone inquired why the bus has to go all the way across the Island and why there are not shorter routes. Mr. Del Rosario responded in Alameda, the route plan is to go from East to West instead of North to South to be more efficient. Mayor Spencer stated there is a need to find a way to connect to the ferry because of the shortage of parking spaces; thanked the Councilmembers for serving on the committee.

The Chief Operating Officer - Alameda Point responded that there will be a minimal cost associated with managing the sediment; stated the City is designing the terminal to ensure there will be no need to dredge because of the high cost.
