PlanningBoard | 2005-04-11 | 10 | Transportation Commission appropriately said that sound walls were not a good idea. He noted that objective A-7 can contain Public Works' staff frecommendation and still maintain the original wording. The public hearing was closed for Board discussion. Vice President Cook believed that pedestrian uses had been shortchanged, and did not agree with privatizing streets. President Cunningham believed that the grid of streets should be broken up with variations in design, including the use of cul de sacs. Ms. Hawkins noted that the next step would be to examine the grid network. Mr. Lynch noted that he liked cul de sacs because they were safe places for children to play, and that they were a physical place in an urban setting that allows for that safe area. He noted that the cul de sacs were needed in Alameda, but that they should not be too long. Mr. Cormack inquired whether bicycle and pedestrian linkages would be favored by the Board at the end of cul de sacs. Regarding A-1, Vice President Cook believed that truck routes affect the neighborhood, and agreed with Mr. Spangler. Ms. Kohlstrand wished to make it clear that all modes of transportation should be accommodated. Planning Board Minutes Page 10 April 11, 2005 | PlanningBoard/2005-04-11.pdf |
