TransportationCommission | 2005-07-20 | 4 | (ACTIA), Catellus, Alameda Point Community Partners, and the Peralta Colleges, Congestion Management Agency, Ms. Marr asked that the Chamber of Commerce board members and others be given a presentation on the project in September. Ms Stieg wanted to know who actually are the representatives that are part of this committee discussion and who represents Alameda's interests. Staff Hawkins stated that they were listed on the email that is sent to them. Ms. Steig mentioned that she and some of other people on the email list are not able to attend the meetings. She indicated she would like to find out more about why the 13 of the 16 project design options were eliminated. She also asked if she could obtain a list of the proposals and the pros and cons of each before the final report is completed. Staff Hawkins said that it would be presented to the City Council and then the City Council can open it up for comments. She added that the Stakeholders meeting would be a good place to express her concerns. Ms Steig said that she was not able to make those meetings because they are on Mondays. She asked that the Commission take no actions on this feasibility study until the Alameda business community has a chance to review and comment on it. She expressed concern that some of the options would have a negative impact on Alameda. Commissioner Ratto stated that WABA was a designated stakeholder and understood some of the scheduling problems. He asked if they have been receiving the meeting packets. Staff Hawkins said that emails are sent to them along with the information from the meetings. Commissioner Ratto suggested that since WABA is unable to send a representative to the stakeholder meetings that a representative from the Chamber of Commerce be identified to represent the Alameda business community. Ms. Stieg supported this idea, and asked that the Chamber be added as a stakeholder. Staff Hawkins agreed. Public Comment Closed Commissioner Parker said that she would like to see which proposals were discarded. She added that the project's scope of work looks at freeway access from Alameda but does not address other issues Alameda is concerned with, such as connectivity from Alameda to Chinatown or Jack London Square. 4 | TransportationCommission/2005-07-20.pdf |
