TransportationCommission | 2005-09-28 | 5 | the recommendations should be presented to the Council in November or December, and that December is also the scheduled date for the final stakeholders' meeting. Alameda Point Transportation Study: Staff Hawkins stated that the Alameda Point Transportation Study would be presented to the Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority (ARRA) on October 5, but presentations are not scheduled for any City boards and commissions. She indicated that the intent is to clarify issues for the developer and that ARRA will hopefully accept, not approve, the study. Theater/parking garage: Staff Hawkins stated that a use permit hearing is scheduled for September 29. She noted that issues to be discussed include the conversion of angled parking to parallel parking on Central Avenue between Oak Street and Walnut Street and installation of a bike lane along this block once the main library building has been completed. To address the needs of bicyclists on Oak Street, the proposal is to add shared lane markings (or "sharrows") and signs. She stated that there will be discussions with the Alameda Unified School District (AUSD) to address their parking needs in the area. Staff Hawkins also noted that the environmental document for the project has gone forward. Chair Knox White said that the TC recommended the installation of sharrows from Encinal Avenue to Lincoln Avenue, not just to Central Avenue. Staff Hawkins responded that this would be addressed in the implementation process. Chair Knox White suggested that when the Commission makes recommendations to the City Council, that it might be easier for the Council to review the recommendations if they were presented in a different format. Currently the Council receives a copy of the TC minutes. Chair Knox White suggested preparing and sending to the Council a brief summary of the main recommendations in addition to the minutes. Commissioner Parker supported this recommendation. 9. ADJOURNMENT Meeting adjourned at 8:45 PM. | TransportationCommission/2005-09-28.pdf |
