TransportationCommission | 2006-05-24 | 8 | Commissioner Krueger said that D4.1C is to establish an annual program to install curb ramps at crosswalks throughout the City to comply with the ADA. D4.3A is to develop guidelines choosing appropriate street trees and avoiding species with aggressive roots that can cause sidewalk damage. Commissioner Krueger motioned to adopt the polices as presented with the three additions noted. Commissioner Knoth seconded. Motion approved unanimously, 5-0. 8. Staff Communications Staff Bergman mentioned the update on the bus stop inventory. He noted that it's about 3/4 of the way done and should be completed by the next TC meeting. He also noted that AC Transit staff had passed along some information on the bus bunching issue. They had a consultant look at that issue and what they are considering is lengthening the running time along those routes to account for potential bunching which would result an addition to two peak buses being added to the schedule. Would allow for an additional 8 minutes on the longest run. Staff Bergman said that if this change is approved it is scheduled to be implemented August 27th Commissioner Krueger noted that this also happens during non-peak hours, and questioned if there are other operational issues that need to be addressed. Commissioner Schatmeier also noted the problem during off-peak hours. Commissioner Krueger asked if AC Transit staff could make a presentation on this topic. Staff Bergman said he would make the request of AC Transit. Staff Hawkins said that the Economic Development Commission and the Planning Board had a meeting, which they had reviewed the scope of work of a business district Parking Study. Public Works is not leading the study but will be able to provide input regarding things like use of transportation demand management (TDM) measures free up parking spaces. She noted that it has been recommended that the report be brought to the Transportation Commission when it is 30-50% completed, and again later on in the process. Staff Bergman followed up on the discussion at the May meeting by distributing a section of the maintenance contract for AC Transit's bus shelter advertising program. Chair Knox White asked to receive the complete EIR in the future. Staff Hawkins responded that she had requested copies but that Public Works did not receive the document. She indicated that she would ensure that copies are sent out for the Target EIR. 8.
