She noted that the upcoming CIP will include only the one-time capital projects and the annual projects will be removed. Staff Hawkins requested input on the unfunded projects and other improvements that the Commission would support including in the CIP. She noted that projects would be evaluated in December to determine if proposed projects rank high enough to move forward in the process. Chair Knox White asked if there is a description of the projects. Staff Hawkins said that if there are any questions about specific projects to contact her. Commissioner Krueger asked what was included in the Bus Stop Accessibility Improvement Phase II. Staff Hawkins stated that December 16 is the deadline for input on the projects, and that there will be three public meetings through the CIP process, one on Bay Farm Island, one on the East End, and one on the West End. Commissioner Krueger moved to continue this item on the December 14th meeting. Commissioner Schatmeier seconded the motion. Motion carried by a unanimous vote - 5. 8. STAFF COMMUNICATIONS Staff Hawkins stated that staff has been working on resolving the issue of the disputed bus stop near Lum School. She said that Public Works staff spoke with the Alameda Police Department about potentially working with the crossing guards at Lum School to not have the children cross the street while a bus is stopped. However, staff has received a number of letters from residents and the crossing guards at Lum School asking that the bus stop not be re-established. She said that this will be brought to the Technical Transportation Team (TTT), and that the Commission would be notified as to the date of that meeting. Commissioner Krueger asked if there were any alternative locations for that bus stop. Staff Hawkins said that staff did look at other sites, but there are a number of driveways in that area, so it is hard to find an area that has the length needed for the bus stop. As a result, there would be a potential loss of on-street parking if an alternative site is chosen. Chair Knox White had talked with the mayor and requested to have a joint Transportation Commission/City Council meeting for sometime before the end of January. He said that the purpose would be to receive some feedback from the Council on their work to date and guidance on future directions for the Commission. Staff Bergman mentioned that Tuesday, December 13, the Cross Alameda Trail Steering Committee will be holding a public workshop from 6-8:30 p.m. at the College of Alameda in the library. Meeting was adjourned at 9:00 PM. | TransportationCommission/2005-11-16.pdf |
