TransportationCommission | 2008-05-28 | 11 | a $6 million savings in increased improvement in productivity costs, and making sure that people get to where they were going. Staff wished to provide better information to travelers, and was very concerned to ensure that motorists were informed before getting in their cars and could choose an alternate route. He noted that this was an unfunded project in CIP. Commissioner Schatmeier hoped that the 51 Line would be a candidate for bus rapid transit throughout its length. If the City had this signal treatment on Webster Street, it might prove itself to be a positive thing. Chair Knox White believed that Caltrans should provide the funds to maintain their own roads, such as the tubes. Staff Khan believed that Caltrans may provide some money for this project as well. No action was taken. 8. STAFF COMMUNICATIONS Broadway/Jackson Update Staff Khan noted that staff planned to have a presentation made by Dowling and Kimley-Horn at the June 25 Transportation Commission meeting. They will present the results of the models they developed. He noted that the option allowing for a left turn coming out of the Posey Tube is gaining support, and one potential obstacle is that a proposal has been submitted for a development project in that area. Estuary Crossing/Feasibility Study Staff Khan noted that a second set of public meetings had been held this month. The public has expressed a desire to see timely results. He requested Commission feedback. Monitoring of Oak Street/Central Avenue intersection City Council has directed staff to monitor this location based on concern about potentially creating a de facto right turn lane on westbound Central Avenue at the intersection with Oak Street. Staff is continuing to monitor this and will report back to the TC with the results of this monitoring prior to reporting back to Council. A camera used to monitor the construction will be reoriented toward the intersection, and staff will be conducting volume and turning movement counts. Chair Knox White expressed an interest in having pedestrian right-of-way violations monitored. Future plans Staff Khan noted that the Shipways project in Marina Village is expected to come forward for a review shortly. 11 | TransportationCommission/2008-05-28.pdf |
