Discussion of Transportation Master Plan Policies - (Discussion Item) Barbara Hawkins, Public Works Supervising Civil Engineer, presented the Transportation Master Plan Policies to the Recreation and Park Commission. The policy portion of the completed Transportation Master Plan will be recommended as the transportation element of the future General Plan update. In March and April, the document is being presented to each of the Boards and Commissions represented on the Task Force (with the exception of the Planning Board) to solicit comments and approval. Chair Ingram asked if a chain link fence or wrought iron fence is considered a sound wall. Ms. Hawkins stated no. Chair Ingram asked Ms. Hawkins for an explanation of a Traffic Calming Toolbox. Ms. Hawkins stated that a Tool Box is a list of ways to calm traffic. Commissioner Reeves asked if "one way" streets were ever considered on some of the smaller streets (e.g., Walnut, Chestnut, etc.). Ms. Hawkins stated that part of the Transportation Master Plan is to look at the grid map and see which streets should be main thorough fares, etc. The issue of one way streets will be looked at. Chair Ingram stated that he agreed with objective B-2.5, maintaining the speed limit of 25 mph on all streets in Alameda in order to avoid creating barriers between neighborhoods. Exempt current roadways with speed limits above 25 mph: Ralph Appezzato Memorial Parkway, Main Street, Constitution Way, Tilden Way, Doolittle Drive, Island Drive, North Loop Road, South Sloop Road, and Harbor Bay Parkway. Chair Ingram also stated that he agreed with objective B-5.1, consider a fully-funded on- street and off-street parking permit to support access and transportation objectives. Mr. Ingram asked if the program would be like San Francisco where you purchase a permit through the City and then you can park on the street if you have a permit. Ms. Hawkins stated that permits need to be structured for the City and they are investigating the issue. B.
