TransportationCommission | 2005-02-23 | 4 | the ultimate location of the ferry terminal has not been determined The transit center would probably be at the Main Street terminal, at least in the early phases of the project. In addition to the ferry, various transportation options are being considered: shuttle between Alameda Point and the 12th Street BART station, operating on 15-minute headways during peak hours "eco-pass": a portion of homeowners fees will go toward transportation, so people will be able to use shuttles or other services it without paying an additional charge water taxi service to Oakland queue jump/HOV lanes for bridges or tubes transit barge Commissioner Krueger asked if the shuttles would be integrated into the regional transit network, rather than being stand-alone services. Staff Thomas noted that the City has begun discussions with AC Transit, BART, the City of Oakland and the Port of Oakland to explore a range of options. Options include: BART extension from downtown Oakland to Jack London Square to Alameda Light rail across Alameda to Fruitvale BART - While alignment in Alameda is mostly available, connecting to the BART station will be a significant problem. Also, this will not serve people traveling from Alameda Point to San Francisco. Aerial tram to West Oakland BART - This may not work well, as BART trains to San Francisco are generally filled by the time they reach West Oakland. Also, if the tram connects to the BART platform, Oakland will not benefit from the project, so it may be difficult getting this option approved. Staff Thomas stated that there are currently too many options in terms of both modes and alignments. The City hopes to narrow down the list of options to one or two of the best candidates by June and study the feasibility of those options. 7B. Work/Live Regulations Commissioner Krueger asked if any data were available regarding parking and trip generation for work/live development as opposed to purely residential Staff Hawkins indicated that she was not aware of any such data. Commissioner Parker stated that the work/live regulations have been in place for several years, but no such projects have actually been implemented. She indicated her support for keeping the regulations in place to enable the City to see the impacts of project implementation. Chair Knox White stated that the regulations seem to support the City's transportation goals. Chair Knox White Opened Public Comment 4 | TransportationCommission/2005-02-23.pdf |
