CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2016-06-08 | 8 | Gail Payne: So we do always, for example, Alameda Landing with Target, they paid to have Mitchell and that whole upgraded Fifth Street, and all that area, and including the bike lanes and bus stops, and all that. And also that Alameda Landing is required to pay on an ongoing basis, these TDM plan monies that they're required to implement, they're required to implement, for example, a shuttle bus that goes between Alameda Landing, Target Area and downtown Oakland on every weekday. So they have all these different requirements they're supposed to meet, and yes. Beth Kenny: Thank you. La Donna Franco: I'm actually wondering, with the increase and currently problematic issue of handicap parking, what are some of the ways are you looking at supporting existing parking issues for handicap parking? Increasing that, what are the plans for that, and what are some plans for increasing safer crosswalks, and lighted crosswalks? Gail Payne: Increase the lighted crosswalks, okay. Yes, we can look at those. So for the lighted crosswalks, the ones that are seen as best practices, there's one that's on Otis at Mound that's this strobe light. Okay, so that's the kind that we would in the future add. La Donna Franco: Could you speak to more specifically about the areas and plans for that. Gail Payne: So for both these, we right now are just beginning this planning effort, so right now I'm coming to you on existing transportation conditions. And next time I come to you, we'll be looking at trying to get input on the draft strategies. So this is good now for me, because now I will know to have it, to talk more in depth with you for next time. Yet we're not at that stage at this point, yes. Beth Kenny: And is AC Transit going to be going out to the current ferry? Gail Payne: So AC Transit, the question is this the AC Transit going to go out to the ferry? So they currently operate at the ferry terminal at Harbor Bay, Line 21. And what we're working with them is to try to get money from the regional bodies, to get bus access to the Main Street ferry terminal. So we're in negotiations, trying to make that happen. Yes, yes. So we'll see, we're just trying to find money, because we know that's a very high complaint we have, is lack of bus access out to that ferry terminal, yes. Beth Kenny: Yes. And I like some of the things that you were thinking about in the reports, about discounted rates for people who take AC Transit to the ferry building. Gail Payne: Actually, that's true, and that's a good reminder. And right now, if you take the bus to the Harbor Bay ferry terminal, it's free and then when you go home on the bus, it's free. The bus ride is free and a lot of people don't realize that, is that that's the system that the ferry operators and the bus operators has already worked out. So it already operates like a shuttle, and yes. Beth Kenny: Great, thank you. 08/17/16 Page 8 of 19 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2016-06-08.pdf |
