TransportationCommission | 2008-07-23 | 12 | Commissioner Krueger inquired about the maintenance costs of the lights versus the paddles. Staff Khan replied that the kind of device drove the maintenance costs. He noted that the pressure pads were expensive to replace, approximately $6-7,000. The initial cost for the paddles was about $400, although they are vulnerable to graffiti. He added that in some locations, they must be replaced every other month. Staff Bergman noted that one maintenance issue for the hard-wired in-pavement lights is the increased cost when the street is resurfaced. He noted that the newer solar technology allowed for individual lights to be removed out for replacement, but that it was only appropriate for certain locations. Commissioner Krueger suggested that those costs be considered when considering installations. No action was taken. 7C. Election of Transportation Commission Chair and Vice Chair Staff Bergman noted that Chair Knox White had served as the Chair of the Transportation Commission since its inception in 2002, and noted that Vice Chair Ratto's seat must be filled since his departure from the Commission. In response to an inquiry by Chair Knox White whether Commissioner Tam actually resigned, Staff Bergman replied that the term he was completing had ended. Chair Knox White noted that until a full Commission was seated, the election could not take place. 8. Staff Communications Staff Khan noted that the City was moving forward with the Estuary Crossing Feasibility Study, and that it was on track. The Technical Advisory Committee meeting and Advisory Policy Committee meeting would be held in August. A public meeting would be held in September or October. At that time, more concrete alternatives would be presented, followed by a presentation before the Transportation Commission. It would be brought to City Council in early 2009. Staff Khan noted that with respect to Broadway/Jackson, the operational analysis had been completed and forwarded to Caltrans, the City of Oakland and the City of Alameda. The Project Study Report will be delivered to Caltrans in the second week of August; an answer would be expected from them in approximately two months. The environmental phase would begin at the end of 2008 or early 2009. Page 12 of 14 | TransportationCommission/2008-07-23.pdf |
