TransportationCommission | 2008-10-22 | 6 | headways, rather than 30-minute headways. He would like the 63 to be rethought in a significant manner. Commissioner Moehring appreciated the innovation, creativity and diversity in this plan, and especially appreciated SunCal's flexibility in working with the community. Commissioner Krueger noted that on page 57, the intersection of Atlantic and Orion was very good, but that the potential BRT station planning needed to be integrated into the site design, because the station would be a potential focal point. He noted that Fruitvale was an example of how bad planning of a station can ruin an otherwise great development. He would like to avoid having a split station. He noted that on page 108, there was a typo in the Mode Choice section, stating that residents would have a 10-mile walk to the ferry, and that it should read "10-minute" walk to the ferry. He noted that on page 109, the shuttle frequency should be clarified. He believed that the parking lots at the transit station should be managed in a market-driven way, the same as the street parking. Chair Knox White was happy to see that the personal rapid transit (PRT) was underplayed, and while the technology would become developed in the future, he did not believe it was the right use for this development. He noted that under Commercial, the document identified three parking spaces per 1,000 square feet, which was 25% lower than Alameda's current minimum. He believed the plan was a good one from a transportation standpoint, and should be backed up by realistic data. He hoped the plan could move forward in a timely manner. No action was taken. 8. STAFF COMMUNICATIONS Chair Knox White noted that he had received an email about the new traffic signal at Atlantic and Webster, stating that inbound cars turning right and west on Atlantic were running the red light because they were used to the old configuration. a. Estuary Crossing Feasibility Study Staff Khan noted that he was not present at the two public meetings that were held during October, and that he had not received the feedback from the consultant. He would present that information at the next meeting. b. Broadway/Jackson Update Staff Khan noted that the project study report has been submitted to CalTrans, and that they had not scheduled or budgeted the project study report (PSR). Staff was currently working on incorporating the PSR. c. Monitoring of Oak Street/Central Avenue intersection Staff Khan noted that he had originally planned to bring it to this meeting, but it was delayed and will be brought at the November 12, 2009, meeting. 6 | TransportationCommission/2008-10-22.pdf |
