TransportationCommission | 2007-10-24 | 16 | Mr. Diest Lorgion replied that the line must be reviewed internally by AC Transit staff, and they would determine whether they need to come up with other cuts on their own, with feedback from the Transportation Commission, or add another bus. Commissioner Schatmeier noted that would work for him. Chair Knox White suggested that the Commission not prioritize the items, and that #4 (Ferry Terminal) would be removed from the discussion until it was necessary. Commissioner Schatmeier agreed with that suggestion. Chair Knox White believed that it would be important to look at the road design for Otis. He added that Items 3 and 4 would be removed from the discussion, and the motion amended to examine the Otis design. In addition, if AC Transit says that four minutes would not be enough, they will come back to the TC for additional recommendations. Commissioner Schatmeier amended the motion to include the following: 1. Implement the proposed route change at Alameda Point, removing stops on Monarch Street and rerouting the bus onto Lexington Street 2. Implement service near Encinal HS to serve the school at peak school hours; at other times the bus would be rerouted off Central Avenue and 3rd Street, and would run on Main Street and Pacific Avenue 3. The two proposed cuts described above should be made on an interim basis to evaluate whether they are sufficient to keep the bus on schedule 4. Line 63 should be rerouted onto Shoreline Drive between Grand and Willow once run time is available and capital improvements have been made at bus stops to meet ADA requirements 5. Since the Line 63 schedule cannot currently accommodate the additional run time needed to operate on Shoreline Drive, bus stops should be implemented at the intersections of Otis Drive at Sandcreek Way and Otis Drive at Willow Street 6. The westbound bus stop at the intersection of Whitehall Road and Willow Street should be the City's top priority for bus stop improvements 7. Evaluate Otis Drive west of Park Street to see if the street can be redesigned from four travel lanes to three travel lanes with bike lanes 8. If AC Transit indicates that the time removed from the first two recommendations above is not sufficient, and/or they decide to put an extra bus on the line, they will come back to the TC for recommendations regarding how to proceed Commissioner McFarland seconded. Motion passed 5-1 (Krueger). Commissioner Ratto was absent. 7. NEW BUSINESS 7A. Proposed alignment of Mitchell Avenue Extension from Alameda Landing to Main Street. Outcome: Commission to provide comments. Transportation Commission Page 16 of 19 | TransportationCommission/2007-10-24.pdf |
