TransportationCommission | 2007-05-23 | 9 | Chair Knox White believed the numbers were incorrect. Staff Khan noted that the city had no intersection counts, and that it will be collecting that data as part of the TMP project. Chair Knox White believed the motion should include all staff comments. Commissioner Ratto concurred with that statement. Commissioner Schatmeier noted that the report referred to long-discontinued lines 43 and 69. He added that there was also a passage on 3.12-17 that stated, "AC Transit is planning additional bus service along North Loop Road." He did not believe that was accurate, and that the report should be modified to reflect this. Staff Khan noted that the reason for the staff comment was related to pedestrian access to transit, and that staff wanted connectivity to the bus stop. With respect to the cumulative level of service in the AM peak hours of 13.8 seconds, and the cumulative plus the project was 13.7, Commissioner Ratto inquired how the project would decrease the delay at that intersection. Commissioner Ratto noted that with respect to TR-5 regarding parking, it appeared that there would be 208 covered spaces for the units. He inquired whether there would be any garages. Staff Khan replied that the project would provide off-street parking, which would include garages or other parking schemes off the street. Each house would have two parking spaces, which was the genesis of the 208 number. Commissioner Ratto noted that the City had requested 0.5 guest spaces per unit to be provided. He believed that adequate guest parking was very important, and that if it was not provided, guests would park in areas that could impede emergency vehicle response times. He believed that was a reprehensible recommendation. Chair Knox White suggested that comment be included in its own motion. Chair Knox White noted that with respect to trip distribution, he was surprised that Ron Cowan Parkway was assumed to be the key road, given that it currently is so lightly used. Chair Knox White noted that 3.12-17 read, "Also, any proposed sound walls would need to be properly designed so as not to restrict visibility." He believed that discussion about sound walls should be removed, and added that the Planning Board and City Council had determined that sound walls would not be utilized. He recommended that the discussion of sound walls be removed from the document. Transportation Commission May 23, 2007 Page 9 of 12 | TransportationCommission/2007-05-23.pdf |
