Vice President Cook advised that the APAC cohosted a well-attended meeting with the Transportation Commission on March 23, 2005. The purpose was to address transportation issues, focusing on the most likely transportation and parking improvements, particularly the shuttles, and Eco-Pass. A range of transit improvements were examined, including new shuttles to be paid for by the project, an aerial tram to Jack London Square and bus expediting procedures through the Tube. Connections to the 12th Street BART station were more important to the participants than to the Fruitvale BART station; crosstown connections were also very important. The connection between land use, density and transportation was also discussed. b. Oral Status Report regarding Northern Waterfront Specific Plan (Vice President Cook). Vice President Cook advised that there was nothing to report since the last meeting. c. Oral Status Report regarding the Golf Course Committee (Board Member Piziali). Board Member Piziali advised that newspaper reports stated that new buildings and clubhouses were being looked at, but added that there was no new information from the Committee. d. Oral Status Report regarding the Oakland/Chinatown Advisory Committee (Board Member Mariani). Board Member Mariani advised that her committee was collaborating with the APAC, and was incorporating the issues of downtown Oakland and Jack London Square as well. Four alternatives for new on-ramps and off-ramps to I-880 were being considered. Traffic between Alameda and Oakland was discussed, as well as one-way streets and delivery truck parking congestion. Creative financing for various projects were discussed, and one member suggested a toll into Alameda, although that was considered to be an unlikely option. The next meeting will be held in April.
