TransportationCommission | 2006-03-22 | 6 | Commissioner McFarland stated that the TC shouldn't preclude the possibility of having the system run in the street as opposed to an exclusive right-of-way, as this may actually be more appropriate. Chair Knox White moved that the City, when accepting the General Plan Amendment, needs to be aware the transit right away that is referred to is a single track shared right of way with turn lanes and automobile traffic. The Transportation Commission is concerned that the amount of single track right of way from the Fruitvale Bridge to Sherman could possibly limit effective transit operations. Commissioner Schatmeier seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously, 4-0. Chair Knox White asked about the "scattered residential properties" referred to in the report. Staff Hawkins pointed them out on the map for clarification. 7A. Pedestrian Plan Chair Knox White asked what the timeline was and that maybe at the next TC meeting discuss them. Staff Bergman said that the Task Force meeting was held last week and overall structure was confusing to some people. The relationship between the Pedestrian and Circulation polices were confusing as to what the stand-alone Pedestrian plan document was going to look like. Maybe get feedback from the TC as to how to put the two together. Chair Knox White asked said that should talk more on the structure at the next months TC meeting as to how to put the policies together. Staff Bergman said that 4 basic goals were established as part of the Circulation Plan with objectives and polices underneath those. The question is what would a stand-alone Pedestrian Plan include. He distributed a copy of the policies previously approved by the TC which indicated policies most relevant to the Pedestrian Plan. Staff Hawkins said that the Task Force should not be relied on to develop the policy language but to provide feedback and endorse the final product. Chair Knox White said that after the next meeting their recommendations will go to the boards and commissions for approval and comments. Staff Bergman said that it maybe May or June to bring the project before the TC committee. 8. STAFF COMMUNICATIONS Page 6 of 7 | TransportationCommission/2006-03-22.pdf |
