CityCouncil | 2017-11-07 | 5 | The Base Reuse Director responded park and ride lots are full and shuttles are not in the plan. Vice Mayor Vella inquired whether staff is monitoring or having companies pay for using the City's resources as part of the plan. The Base Reuse Director responded a parking management plan is reviewing the park and ride issue. Vice Mayor Vella inquired what is the timeline for safe bike and pedestrian access to the Main Street ferry terminal. The Base Reuse Director responded the Main Street gap project is not in the current budget. Councilmember Oddie inquired what the dedicated staff resources are to the transportation plan. The Base Reuse Director responded that she believes there is enough staff to implement the projects; if there is a desire to move the projects along faster, funds would need to be obtained for more staffing. Councilmember Oddie inquired what is the status of the Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA) and clipper cards. The Base Reuse Director responded people can use the clipper card for the free transfer between the ferry and busses. Councilmember Oddie inquired whether the clipper card can be used on the ferry. The Base Reuse Director responded that if passengers transfer from the bus to the ferry using a clipper card, the bus ride is free and will registers on the clipper card. In response to Councilmember Oddie's inquiry regarding funding cuts, the Base Reuse Director responded budget cuts are less likely to occur when there are joint resources. Councilmember Oddie inquired what is the cost of the interisland shuttle. The Base Reuse Director responded the cost is $10 to $11 million annually; stated a small residential parcel tax or congestion pricing could be options to pay for the cost. Councilmember Oddie inquired if the plan addresses bike access to Main Street and bike access to and across the Fruitvale Bridge. The Base Reuse Director responded the plan is to fund both projects in the next mid- year budget cycle; the Fruitvale Bridge proposal makes the approach more multimodal.
