PlanningBoard | 2019-02-25 | 6 | Board Member Teague asked who would maintain the plantings in the open space. Staff Member Thomas said the project would be responsible for the maintenance. Sean Murphy and Cindy Ma gave a presentation on the open space plan. Board Member Mitchell asked what the minimum width is supposed to be for the Bay Trail. Staff Member Thomas said that they try to get 14-16', but that sometimes the do not get that much in tight areas. Ms. Ma said the Bay Trail guidelines state that 12' is their minimum. Board Member Mitchell asked what the signage plans were for the Bay Trail and boat crossing areas. Clay Frye said that the signage for the Bay Trail and historic signage is in design at the moment. He said BCDC has very specific signage guidelines. He said they got permission from BCDC to explore combining the Bay Trail and historic walk signage. He said there would be very specific rules and procedures and signage regulating gate closures and signage for that area. Board Member Mitchell asked for more information explaining the changes bringing the trail away from the water's edge in the Harbor View Park. Ms. Ma said BCDC's feedback led to pulling the trail back and adding the view pockets. Staff Member Thomas said Alameda goes first in the process before BCDC and the board can ask for changes in the proposed path alignment if it feels strongly. Board Member Cavanaugh asked if there were renderings of the project at night and of the art in the plan. Staff Member Thomas said they could separate the lighting plan from this step and bring it back at a future date. He said the public art component is one of the last things to be completed. Board Member Teague asked what the timing would be for the water taxi. Staff Member Thomas said there is no specific timeline. He said their approach has been to require the landings for water shuttles be built with every project. He said that once the projects get built and occupied there would hopefully be enough demand to support service with funding help from the TMA funds that the residents would pay into.
