CityCouncil | 2018-03-06 | 15 | In response to Councilmember Oddie's inquired about how many cars it would equate to, the Assistant Community Development Director stated about 100. The City Manager stated when bus lines are farther apart, commuters become less reliant on the service. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether increasing the time from 20 to 30 minutes means a commuters will get in cars and drive or use another mode of transit. The Assistant Community Development Director responded it is very hard to estimate and gauge the impact. Stated AC Transit supports the funding commitment but understands the City has other funding commitments: Michael Eshleman, AC Transit. Stated the success of Line 19 has been due to the 20 minute service; he would like to see the service continue: Mike O'Hara, Alameda Transportation Management Association (TMA). Mayor Spencer stated that she will support the item. Vice Mayor Vella stated that she will also support the item; the service is important to Alameda. Councilmember Oddie stated that he will support the item. Councilmember Oddie moved approval of the staff recommendation and adoption of the resolution. Councilmember Matarrese seconded the motion. Under discussion, Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated there are other important transportation projects; she will look to the TMA to expand the easy pass program by doing a loadable Clipper Card; AC Transit is not the only transit system; she will support the item. *** (18-128) Mayor Spencer moved approval of considering the cannabis item [paragraph no. 18-129].
