PlanningBoard | 2017-09-25 | 6 | Board Member Curtis said people here are not used to taking public transportation. He said public awareness and education need to be a top priority. Board Member Burton said he does not feel like the plan is ready to go. He said there should be a much more aggressive goal. He said the language in the goals will be meaningless to the average person. He said the programs in the plan need to be laser focused on our issues. He said drivers to Oakland and the inner east bay are the easiest way to solve our congestion problems. He said all the westend schools, including charters, with parents doing drop off and heading for the tube is a major problem. He suggested using 2010's baseline as our goal for the plan. He said the EZ Pass program could be a very good way of achieving the goals of the free shuttle at a reasonable cost of implementation and without cutting into AC Transit's ridership and service levels. He said we should be documenting Bike Walk Alameda as a partner agency on many of the projects. He endorsed the comments in Board Member Knox White's letter. Board Member Sullivan said she is concerned at the lack of targeting specific audiences that are likely to use transit. She said nobody has looked at the possible need for a school bus system. She said there is a tremendous need for communication programs to help consumers understand how and why to use programs. 7-B 2017-4744 Study Session - 2390 Mariner Square Drive Co-Living, Co-Working zoning Amendment.
