TransportationCommission | 2005-02-23 | 2 | 6A. Updated TMP Schedule Staff Bergman presented the staff report and described staff's recommended revisions to the previously approved TMP schedule. He noted that the bicycle plan update would be the first of the modal plans to be undertaken, and suggested that the effort be coordinated with the Alameda County Congestion Management Agency (CMA) effort to update the countywide bicycle plan. He stated that CMA staff have indicated that the City's project recommendations for the countywide plan would have to be submitted by the summer, so it would not be possible to complete the City's plan update in time. Therefore, staff recommended that the bicycle plan update proceed on two tracks: 1) identify projects to be recommended for inclusion in the countywide plan, and 2) undertake the complete update of the plan. This would enable the timely submittal of the City's project recommendations for the countywide plan, which would help enhance Alameda's efforts to compete for grant funds. Chair Knox White indicated that he would appoint a subcommittee of two commissioners to oversee the development of the bicycle plan update. He also requested that staff prepare the new TMP schedule in a revised format, so that all tasks would be in chronological order. Staff Bergman responded that this would be done. Commissioner Parker moved approval of the staff recommendation to revise the TMP schedule, which was seconded by Commissioner Knoth. Motion carried by a unanimous voice vote - 4. 6B. Task Force Recommended Draft TMP Policies Staff Bergman stated that the draft Transportation Master Plan (TMP) policies had been prepared by the TC subcommittee - consisting of Chair Knox White, Commissioner Schatmeier, and Commissioner McFarland. The subcommittee received input from the TMP Task Force and City staff. Staff comments were listed in the draft document, below the subcommittee's recommended policies. Staff Bergman stated that the draft document is now being brought to the full TC for additional input and approval of a final set of policies. Commissioner Schatmeier arrived. Chair Knox White asked that the final version of the draft policies be brought back to the Transportation Commission after other boards and commissions have had a chance to comment, prior to being forwarded to the Planning Board and the City Council. The Commission reviewed the policies and staff comments. Staff was directed to make the changes to the draft document as recommended by the Commission. Chair Knox White Opened Public Comment Jon Spangler recommended a modification to Policy C-3.2. Rather than making improvements only to routes identified in the bicycle plan, the City should look to promote equitable access for bicyclists on every street in Alameda. Mr. Spangler also recommended that the TMP process be 2 | TransportationCommission/2005-02-23.pdf |
