CityCouncil | 2016-02-24 | 6 | lane streets. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the data is available for Councilmembers to extrapolate to see how many accidents are on other 4 lane streets. The Base Reuse Director responded there is no way to extrapolate the data for other 4 lane streets; stated the citywide data gives an average; the area is disproportionately higher than the citywide average. Mayor Spencer inquired whether it could be disproportionately higher on all the 4 lane streets. The Base Reuse Director responded the City does not have said data. The Transportation Coordinator stated that it could be higher on 4 lane streets; the study shows that there are more collisions on 4 lane streets with higher traffic volume. Councilmember Daysog inquired the reason staff feels there is the disproportionate number of accidents on Central Avenue. The Transportation Coordinator responded there have been 9 injuries, not collisions; stated there are more collisions which are never reported; staff is focusing on the severe injuries in the area. Councilmember Daysog stated that he reviewed the CalTrans data Citywide by bicyclists and pedestrians; suggested the data be reviewed again to ensure it is correct. The Transportation Coordinator continued the presentation. Mayor Spencer inquired whether extending the merge area, which eliminates two parking spaces was suggested by the Transportation Commission. The Transportation Coordinator responded two park parking spaces would be eliminated. Mayor Spencer inquired if the spaces are at Washington Park, to which the Transportation Coordinator responded in the affirmative. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the space could be for a loading zone during school hours. The Transportation Coordinator stated between 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. there will be two green zones for parents to pick up and drop off kids at the park facility. Mayor Spencer stated two spaces will be eliminated; inquired how many spaces would be used for the loading zone. Special Meeting Alameda City Council February 24, 2016 | CityCouncil/2016-02-24.pdf |
