PlanningBoard | 2016-12-12 | 5 | Board Member Zuppan said there is a tradeoff between narrowing the streets and quality of life. She asked how the other side of the safety coin is assessed and balanced against Vision Zero goals. The consultant said the NACTO guidelines are useful. He said each project has to be evaluated on a case by case basis. Board Member Zuppan said there is a cost to expecting constant vigilance. She confirmed that congestion pricing meant charging people for going through the tubes and over the bridges. Board Member Knox White asked if someone who drives to BART would be included in the 78% who took transit to SF in the survey. The consultant said, depending on how they responded, they would likely be included in the transit number. Board Member Knox White said that would be a reason why focusing on transit for SF commuters could still alleviate congestion at the crossings. Board Member Mitchell asked how many people from Alameda are traveling to BART. The consultant said it was around 2,000. Board Member Mitchell said the lowest hanging fruit would be people driving to BART. The consultant said BART ridership from Alameda actually decreased from 2008 to 2014. He said Alamedans are switching to the Ferry and Transbay bus. Board Member Mitchell asked if we are looking at a park and BART shuttle approach. The consultant said that Lyft and Uber are filling some of that need. He said there is already some informal park and ride going on with people parking near bus stops. Board Member Burton asked what the current level of service is for using the ferry to get your bike from Alameda to Oakland. The consultant said it is the South SF ferry that provides the service a few times in the morning and a few times in the evening. He said this might increase when the new Ferry Terminal opens.
