PlanningBoard | 2012-02-27 | 4 | he can follow through with the engineers. Vice President Autorino explained that he had trouble visualizing the urbanized streetscape on 5th Street. President Ezzy Ashcraft referred to the Fifth Street Linear Greenway section on page 8 (located to the far right of the diagram) and she asked if the bike lane is placed throughout 5th street. Mr. Kay replied that the bike lane goes up 5th Street to the Stargell Avenue side and the January 9th meeting shows the plan's cross sections for all the streets and does include the bicycle plan in entirety. Board member Henneberry asked about the Memory Trail concept and if Mr. Kay plans to incorporate historical information into the entire center or just into the trail. Mr. Kay replied that the Memory Trail would start at the Central Plaza at Stragell Avenue and 5th Street. He would like to see the trail continue up to the water at some point. He also mentioned that Square Peg, the signage identity consultants, have considered the historical aspect. Board member Henneberry replied that the maritime history of Alameda is very important and shouldn't be segregated to just one side. Board member Burton referred to the Main Gateway Plaza diagram on sheet 4, Building A which includes a square on the lower right hand corner of the building. He wondered if the square was supposed to be a building entrance. Mr. Kay stated the buildings are hypothetical and he doesn't have plans for the buildings at this level. Also, the landscape is working itself around where the building entry would possibly be. Board member Burton referred to the Landing Central Plaza diagram on sheet 7. There is an arrow to Building K and on the opposite side, there's an arrow to Building A. He wanted to know if the lines' intention is to indicate something that goes across the walkway. Mr. Kay stated yes there will be enhanced paving to reinforce the pedestrian connection down that spine and subject to cost they would enhance the spine by using a series of trellises as detail similar to what one might find on the Target building. Board member Burton referred to sheet 4 and questioned the bump outs along the landing street and the elements that are turned in the opposite direction. One was labeled trellis with bike racks and benches, but the elements are closer in at the street itself. Mr. Kay replied that the elements are trellises and one would be able to walk under since they are a gateway through.
