CityCouncil | 2016-05-17 | 15 | Councilmember Daysog moved approval of supporting the second option [Option 7] as a backup plan. Vice Mayor Matarrese seconded the motion, which carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Daysog, Ezzy Ashcraft and Matarrese - 3. Noes: Mayor Spencer - 1. Abstention: Councilmember Oddie - 1. (16-256) Consider Directing the City Manager to Prepare a Presentation on the Neighborhood Parking Permit Program. (Councilmember Daysog) Councilmember Daysog made brief comments on his referral. Stated parking is so bad in the Bayport neighborhood that people have moved out of the community; expressed support for permit parking: Eleanor Alperton. Vice Mayor Matarrese moved approval directing the City Manager to put together an updated presentation on a neighborhood parking permit program with the options discussed by Councilmember Daysog in his referral, as well as the points raised in the discussion of 1435 Webster Street and at the Harbor Bay Ferry Terminal. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated more traffic enforcement on the streets to keep pedestrians and bicyclists safe would be the priority if there are budgetary concerns; she would like to see where the program fits into the budgetary constraints. Councilmember Oddie seconded the motion. Under discussion, Mayor Spencer inquired whether staff is working with the homeowners association on a proposal; stated the different neighborhoods should be addressed separately; if there is a problem, the proposal could be modified; she is not sure if the proposal is the best use of staff's time; there are very distinctive problems in certain neighborhoods. Councilmember Daysog stated the parking problems are very similar and are due to a transportation network, whether it is the ferry or bus system. The City Manager stated each neighborhood would have to be reviewed on a case by case basis. The Police Chief stated there is enough staff to handle parking enforcement; the parking permit program would not add any additional cost to the Police Department; he would be concerned only if there are more neighborhoods down the line that are added for the parking permit program. The Deputy Public Works Director stated the Public Works Department will be back in front of Council on June 7th with some proposed changes to the residential parking Regular Meeting Alameda City Council May 17, 2016 | CityCouncil/2016-05-17.pdf |
