TransportationCommission | 2006-12-13 | 10 | Staff Fonstein responded that study areas respond to the areas where there are parking restrictions. He advised that a draft recommendation would be presented to the Commission in the spring. There was no action. Chair Knox White requested a motion to continue the meeting. Commissioner Schatmeier moved to continue the meeting past 10:00 p.m. Commissioner Krueger seconded. Motion passed, 5-0. 7B. STATUS OF RED-CURBING FOR BUS STOPS Staff Bergman provided an update on the efforts to improve accessibility at the City's bus stops. Based on guidelines and discussions with AC Transit, it was determined that 55 feet of red curb was sufficient at the nearside bus stops, and 65 feet at the far side stops; the City began to provide those improvements. The table attached to the report indicated where there were deficiencies. At 23 of the locations, additional red curb was required; some of those could be addressed administratively because only one space was required; the other locations would be brought to the TTT. Twenty-seven of the stops on the list were only served by either school routes or Transbay peak hour-only routes; signage would be used to have minimal impact to allow parking on the weekends and other times when buses were not running. Ten other stops had individual situations that needed to be resolved. The staff report indicated that the 60 locations will be taken to the TTT beginning in February, and after internal discussion, it would be done more quickly than originally planned if there was not significant opposition. The staff report indicated that red curbing was removed from some locations, and after further investigation, it was determined that nearly all of them resulted from bus stop consolidations. The only stops affected by that were those that were being relocated. Commissioner Ratto noted that in the staff report it states that red curb was removed after it had previously been approved. Staff Bergman replied that was the result of an internal miscommunication, and investigation of most of those sites were the result of consolidation. Commissioner Krueger inquired whether there were any instances where the red curbs were removed, but the bus stop signs were not; he recalled that there were several instances on Encinal. Staff Bergman noted that at Mound, there was a bus stop, and that red curb needed to be put in. Chair Knox White thanked staff for compiling the database. No action was taken. 10 | TransportationCommission/2006-12-13.pdf |
