He stated that this may not be the right location for a transit hub, and it is not the right time to be pursuing it, that there are many existing pressing needs for transit in the City. Commissioner Krueger noted that regarding the realigned road, he would like to see more detail, and added that shortening the route from Alameda Landing to the Tube made sense. He also believed that this use of the railroad right of way made sense. He did not believe that a four-lane route may be necessary. Chair Knox White did not see a transit hub with commercial spaces being a good match for shared parking. He would like to see this proposal again when the traffic model was done, with more specific numbers. Staff Khan noted that he would add the speakers to the email list for this proposal. Commission Communications (cont.) Chair Knox White noted that the federal grant for bus shelters that the City had applied for was denied. Staff Bergman noted that those funds were generally earmarked and were competitively awarded. Staff would continue to track that issue. Commissioner Schatmeier noted that the bike path near Mount Trashmore was overgrown with hedges, and would like it to be trimmed back. Chair Knox White noted that the bus route map at the southwest corner of Santa Clara and High was covered with graffiti. Commissioner Krueger noted that he had complained about it, and was told that all complaints about graffiti must be routed through AC Transit. Staff Bergman indicated that the City is responsible for graffiti on shelters, but that AC Transit is responsible for other bus route maps posted at bus stops. Chair Knox White noted that there was broken glass at the shelter at Webster and Santa Clara, as well as Willow and Santa Clara. 8.
