TransportationCommission | 2007-03-28 | 8 | Chair Knox White supported private shuttles, but believed that the language on page 14 reading "shuttle service to transit providers" clearly said that the overall plan is not to prioritize AC Transit. He noted that occurred on page 8 referred to a "BART commuter shuttle", which is more of a point-to-point service rather than one which would pick up additional passengers along the way. He suggested inserting the language "implement and administer any shuttle services" rather than "BART commuter shuttle", and that it should state that the service should connect to the existing public transit systems. Chair Knox White noted that part of his thinking in making his comments is that this document will be used as a template for Alameda Point and the Northern Waterfront, and that it was important to release as accurate and solid a document as possible in order to best protect the City's interests. Mr. Knopf suggested using "intermodal shuttle" instead of BART commuter shuttle. Chair Knox White and Commissioner Krueger supported this language. Commissioner Knoth moved to accept the Alameda Landing TDM Goals and Program Development with the following changes: Adding residences or HOAs to the Eco-Pass language (in two places); The TMA should fit into the Citywide strategy of the TDM policies on pages 3 and 8; Page 10: remove the last half of the sentence referring to the City Council Page 3: Rephrase (iii) to reflect that there will be sufficient bike racks; Clarifying in 4.3 that the target numbers for Year 5 will use the same statistical methods so as to correlate with the ITE methodology of the EIR; On the same page, remove "at City cost to require Public Works staff" and replace it with "to request the collection of actual peak hour"; and Under the section about the annual report (p. 8), add: "Present to the City of Alameda Transportation Commission and send with Commission recommendations to the Alameda City Council for approval." Commissioner Krueger seconded the motion. The motion was approved unanimously, 4-0. Chair Knox White believed this kind of document should be part of any development before it is approved. He noted that this was the first time the City had undertaken something like this, and this could be a learning opportunity. He suggested perhaps communicating the Commission's recommendations regarding future agreement to the Council. Staff Khan noted that when the TSM/TDM plan is in place, that should address some of the Commission's concerns. He noted that it would be helpful for developers to have an understanding up front of what would be expected of them. Staff Bergman responded that he could draft something based on the discussion at tonight's meeting and prepare it in a form for Chair Knox White to sign.
