TransportationCommission | 2005-07-20 | 6 | and South Shore. This was well beyond the 1000 or 1200 feet requirement. There was no notification of this. Commissioner Krueger said that he and his wife walked the route and confirmed there was no bus stop sign posted between Grand and Whitehall. Staff Hawkins said that the stop was removed at the request of the police department, that there was a problem with the circulation of students, crossing guards and vehicles. Since it was within the distance prescribed in the Transit Plan, City and AC Transit staff agreed to remove the stop. Commissioner Parker asked if the Transportation Technical Team should make that decision. Staff Hawkins said that the Transportation Technical Team does not deal with the removal of bus stops. AC Transit deals with the removal of bus stops, not the City, and the TTT has been dealing with the bus stop issues only when it involves parking spaces. She said AC Transit should provide notification to the public if a stop is removed. Chair Knox White asked how the recommendations of the transit plan are accounted for, if AC Transit has the right to make the decision unilaterally. Commissioner Parker said that the school should have been involved in these discussions, since this affects the ability of students to take transit to school. Staff Hawkins noted that the school was involved in the discussions regarding the bus stop. Commissioner Krueger suggested that we should try to have some type of public noticing when bus stops are removed, even if it is not technically required. Commissioner Krueger said that the re-paint job of the bus shelters on Grand Avenue and Santa Clara Avenue turned out really well. The City is doing a great job on getting graffiti removed from the shelters, and praised Public Works regarding the new and existing bus shelters. Commissioner Ratto noted that PSBA would be having the annual Art and Wine Fair on July 30- 31. 9. ADJOURNMENT Meeting adjourned at 9:30 P.M.
