TransportationCommission | 2008-05-28 | 9 | bikes, and building a beautiful bike path on the other end of town. He noted that he could see positives and negatives with the functional classification and the protected intersection methods. He believed the functional classification might be the most practical choice. Chair Knox White inquired whether the Transportation Commission would be comfortable with moving forward using the street functional classification, and whether staff would be comfortable as well. Staff Khan noted that the administrative draft of the schedule would be delivered on June 4, 2008, as promised by Dowling. The delay was due to staff's request to include some of the intersections in Alameda Point that were not included in the regional network. Staff intended to have the administrative draft reviewed, and the draft EIR would be available in July, in preparation to going to City Council in October. Chair Knox White noted that August would be a difficult month due to vacations, and requested that the EIR be released for longer than 40 days. He requested that it be presented after the August meeting. He requested that something be brought back in June. He requested that the maps be explained very clearly in the document. Staff Khan noted that he would talk with the Planning Department and the City Attorney's office to make sure they would be on board with the prioritization. He noted that the policy would be adopted which stated it was a City policy, but the remainder would be held off until the criteria for the nine to twelve month schedule came in. He will talk with the Planning Department and report back in June. Chair Knox White expressed concern that with the number of meetings left, that the discussions may be rushed. He believed that a discussion of the preliminary draft in June would be valuable. Commissioner Krueger inquired whether it would be possible to implement a hybrid approach. He noted that there were some aspects of the protected intersection idea that that he liked, and that he believed they were consistent with the City's stated policy regarding certain intersections where congestion was inevitable. He noted that approach addressed the concern staff expressed about developers wanting to know how they mitigated. Chair Knox White believed that was another layer of confusion in dealing with corridors, when one used the street functional classification, and another was a protected intersection. Staff Khan noted that staff would examine that idea. No action was taken. 7. NEW BUSINESS 9 | TransportationCommission/2008-05-28.pdf |
