PlanningBoard | 2005-06-27 | 18 | Mr. Lynch noted that after the theater opens, it may be necessary for the police to direct traffic at the owner's expense, as they did after the Jack London Square Theater opened. Ms. Ott noted that there were provisions to handle large crowds for a blockbuster presentation at various times during the year. There would be some education programs so the public could become accustomed to the operation. Vice President Cook fully agreed with Bike Alameda's comments regarding the bike path on Central Avenue, especially with respect to their call to remove the diagonal parking on Central, and having a bike lane. Ms. Eliason noted that City Council had made the commitment to remove the diagonal parking, and to have parallel parking and a bike lane in its place. Vice President Cook was concern about losing the landscaping along the Oak Street façade; she noted that a landscaping plan would soften the large scale of the building. She would like the detailed landscaping plan to return to the Board, addressing both the Cineplex and the garage. Ms. Ott recommended that be conditioned for the garage, because the funding for the landscaping plan is part of the garage contract. She noted the project would have to comply with the City's ordinance, and that there would be street trees for Oak Street. Central Avenue will have street trees along Central as part of the City's ordinance. Mr. Lynch noted that he had concerns about the large DBH; he would like to see trees that were tall enough to soften the building.
