She explained that the view corridor is very important to her, and that her concerns are about traffic flow and the transit piece on Ralph Apezzato Parkway. She said she likes how the center of the site has transformed in these plans. She said that there would be issues connecting the living spaces, the parks and the schools in the future. She wanted to know how people with boats would be able to get to the Bay, and that there might be some way to show the history of Seaplane Lagoon to the public, such as by placing a museum there. She agreed with Mr. Biggs's comments and reminded the Board that Site A is one of many parcels that would be redeveloped at the Base site. President Henneberry said he appreciated all the comments he heard. He expressed confidence in the direction of the planned development, and looked forward to seeing how staff and the development team incorporated public and Board comments. He said that public-private cooperation is essential for development on Alameda Point, and suggested that the team should look into similar projects elsewhere, such as in Christchurch, New Zealand, where a combination of public and private projects successfully draws people to the oceanfront site. Mr. Thomas told the Board that staff would meet with the Planning Board Subcommittee and the developers to make improvements to the plans based on tonight's comments. Ms. Ott announced that there would be a community outreach event on the Base on Thursday night, January 29, 2015, from 6 to 8 PM, about the plans and to meet the developers and express their concerns 8.
