The City Engineer made brief comments. Vice Mayor Knox White stated that he spoke with Public Works staff prior to the meeting; noted the original staff for the project are no longer with the Department; stated the issues described by Ms. Trenpanier will be addressed. In response to Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft's inquiry regarding direction to staff, Vice Mayor Knox White stated the item does not need to come back, as long as there is agreement to incorporate all modes having equity when a light is triggered: car actuator or pedestrian button. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated a report back to Council would be appreciated when the work takes place. Councilmember Oddie inquired whether it is possible to time crosswalk signals for pedestrians to walk non-stop over a long period of time. The City Engineer responded it is possible in theory; stated the difficulty lies with the distance between intersections being so great, and varying walking speeds between individuals. Councilmember Oddie noted a Park Street issue is related to the City of Oakland, not Caltrans. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated during a trip to Washington DC, she noticed a one minute allotment to cross streets. Councilmember Vella moved approval of the staff recommendation. Vice Mayor Knox White seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.
