CityCouncil | 2017-05-16 | 8 | Vice Mayor Vella inquired what impact ACTC's construction will have on the West End crossing. Mr. Chazbek responded work will be done mostly in off-peak hours; stated signage and outreach will address closure times and how to maneuver around the construction. Councilmember Oddie inquired whether part of the funding is Senate Bill 1 (SB1) money, to which the Base Reuse Director responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Oddie stated the SB1 gas tax just passed a few weeks ago; inquired whether ACTC can be mindful of the current problems with going through the Posey Tube during the development phase, to which Mr. Chazbek responded in the affirmative. Councilmember Matarrese stated that he has three requests: 1) that the City receive plenty of notice on construction dates and schedules, 2) whether the speed limit could be reduced in the Posey Tube before the Central Avenue project returns to Council, and 3) the Webster Street issue between the Webster Street Business Association (WABA) and Bike Alameda be resolved. Mayor Spencer inquired whether ACTC received feedback from the City's Transportation Commission; stated the bicycle community has concerns about bicycle access, ventilation and ensuring that the focus is multi-modal, which are serious issues that need to be addressed; requested better visuals in the presentation; inquired whether there is a way to make one of the four available lanes for bicyclists only. Mr. Chazbek responded in the negative. Mayor Spencer inquired whether there is any way to make the commute better for bicyclists. Mr. Chazbek responded ACTC can review the matter; the challenge would be the separation between bicyclists and motorists; bicyclists need some type of protection. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the multi-modal issue can be reviewed, to which Mr. Chazbek responded in the affirmative. Vice Mayor Vella stated working in off-peak hours might be a concern for weekend events and beach traffic; requested the multi-modal analysis include more information on the different types of vehicles that utilize the Posey Tube and how the new design will affect traffic.
