TransportationCommission | 2006-09-27 | 10 | Chair Knox White noted that the approved mitigations refer to a TDM plan, but it does not talk about the plan's goals, how it will be monitored, or who will produce the plan. He asks that the plan be brought to the TC before it goes to the City Council. He emphasized that goals need to be established up front. Staff Khan stated that Planning is heading up this effort, and their staff can be requested to do a presentation. Public Comment Jon Spangler stated that the TDM plan should reflect the operation of a water-based cross- estuary shuttle. Public Comment Closed Chair Knox White stated that some TDM measures, such as flexible work weeks, cannot easily be monitored to estimate trip reductions. Staff Khan noted that there are goals established in the TCMP. Chair Knox White responded that there should be other goals beyond those relating to tube traffic. He supports the project's emphasis on TDM measures, but doesn't see why they are proposing the amount of parking they are, since trips are being reduced. Providing too much parking will undermine the TDM measures. Staff Khan stated that City staff have been working to find ways to monitor the TDM plan, and have been looking at examples from other cities, but have not found a satisfactory methodology up to this point. Chair Knox White suggested using two of the four proposed lanes on Tinker as bus-only lanes. Staff Khan responded that queue jump lanes are being proposed on Tinker. Chair Knox White made the following comments: While there are bicycle and pedestrian facilities in the project, getting to and from the project for these users will be difficult. The plan refers to minimizing traffic on minor residential streets, this may conflict with the TMP policies. The project streets should not function like those on Bay Farm Island. Plan proposes 24-hour streets, this is best achieved by vibrant neighborhoods and sidewalks 5th Street should be no more than three lanes parking ratios should be reconsidered Commissioner Krueger moved the following: Transportation Commission Page 10 of 12 9/27/06 Meeting Minutes | TransportationCommission/2006-09-27.pdf |
