TransportationCommission | 2006-12-13 | 4 | Chair Knox White inquired whether the following language would be acceptable: "During the EIR process, the full extent of congestion at intersections will be disclosed beyond the LOS letter.' Commissioner Krueger concurred with that suggestion. Chair Knox White suggested the following language, "This unmitigated congestion should be expressly evaluated and disclosed during the EIR process, and acknowledged as a byproduct of the development.' Commissioner Krueger suggested adding the following language, "The alternate methods of transportation, impacts of pedestrians, bicycles, queues at intersections, driveway access" as examples of the kind of disclosure being discussed. He added that including the language, "could be included, but not limited to as an example of the kind of things to be disclosed. Staff Khan thanked the Commissioners for the specific language, and believed that would be useful. Chair Knox White suggested: "This unmitigated congestion should be evaluated and disclosed," and if staff wished to discuss queues at intersection, that would be included in the LOS discussion. Staff Khan noted that LOS addressed delays, but did not take queues into account. He noted that the queue analysis was performed as part of the model that examined LOS at intersections. Commissioner Ratto moved to accept staff recommendation with the changes discussed by the Commission, including the addition of the language "This unmitigated congestion should be evaluated and disclosed (including intersection delay length of time) during the EIR process, and acknowledges a byproduct of the development."). Commissioner Schatmeier seconded. Motion passed, 5-0. 6B. REVIEW AND PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS ON DRAFT FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM CONCEPTS * 2ND PRESENTATION. Staff Khan presented the staff report, and noted that the consultant, DKS, would continue the presentation. He noted that DKS had examined what other cities throughout the country had done. They reviewed the cities' existing functional classification systems, and discussed them with personnel from the other cities, resulting in recommendations and changes to the functional classification maps and overlays. Staff requested the Commission's recommendations and input for staff and the consultant. Staff would return with the final recommendations and changes in January 2007, and would present the final report at that time. Mark Spencer, DKS Associates, continued the presentation on the Street Functional Classification System work that they had undertaken with City staff. He presented the overview of the material covered in the previous meeting, and displayed a PowerPoint presentation 4 | TransportationCommission/2006-12-13.pdf |
