TransportationCommission | 2006-02-22 | 4 | Commissioner Krueger noted that this seems to be a pattern. Staff Bergman said that the curb-to-curb cross-section for the section of Clement Avenue in Marina Cove is 48 feet, the same as it is east of Grand. Commissioner Parker noted that at previous meetings, residents of Buena Vista Avenue had expressed their opposition to introducing rail service on the street. Chair Knox White asked if the transit corridor would be located along the street, and Staff Bergman responded that it would. Chair Knox White asked that the TC be given an explanation of the right of way and how it changes along the corridor at the next meeting. Commissioner McFarland stated that the data on page IV.E-6, Roadway Operations, include what seem like very high vehicle capacity numbers for the Posey/Webster Tubes. He noted that freeway lanes accommodate just over 2,000, and this is for facilities that are 12 feet wide with shy distance. Chair Knox White asked that at the March meeting that staff present the assumptions underlying the peak hour capacity numbers for the Tubes. Commissioner Parker wanted to know how "peak hour" is defined. Staff Bergman said that it was not a specified hours based on what the count was but was the highest hour on the day it was collected. Commissioner Parker asked if the Commission could look at the trend of traffic throughout the day instead of just the peak hour. This way the Commission could see how long the peak lasts. Chair Knox White had a questions regarding Section 4, page 5. He noted that the Class II bike lanes on Tilden Way exist on only some of the roadway. On page 17 the Northern Waterfront Trip Distribution has 11% for trips coming from the south to Alameda and 7% trips going south from Alameda. He stated that in the Transit Plan and at the Alameda Point Preliminary Development Concept public meeting, the number used was 40%. He asked for clarification on which number is correct. Staff Bergman said that at least part of the discrepancy is due to the 40% being a percentage of off-island trips, while the 11% is the percentage of all trips generated by the project. A significant number of trips are expected to begin and end in Alameda. Chair Knox White had a question on Page 17, Impacts and Mitigation Measures. He stated that the TC had indicated during the discussion of the theater project that it would like to see Negative Declarations and EIRs address bicycle and pedestrian usability and access as one of the significance criteria. 4 | TransportationCommission/2006-02-22.pdf |
