She referred to the City of Davis that was mentioned by a public speaker stating they have many bicycle riders and many streets in Alameda are not bicycle-friendly. She also asked about bike parking near Alameda Theater and when it will be available. Another improvement she noted was the east/west sidewalk at Alameda Towne Centre. Board member Autorino agrees and added he wants to maximize alternative forms of transportation and avoid putting the Board members into a box. He wants more flexibility in the policy. He is not sure how negative impacts are being measured. Board member Cook's main concern is that they don't know how they are measuring the service levels. She is concerned about being boxed in as well. Staff clarified that there are two types of road widening. One is re-striping the road and the second is tearing out curbs to make more lanes. He added that there are few streets that would need curb removal for widening. Mr. Kahn stated that the right turn lane is the easiest turn for motorists to make. Vice President Ezzy Ashcraft asked about other departments and commissions and if they have any sense of how they could tell if the alternative modes are being impacted by widening and re-striping of roads to create more traffic and turn lanes.
