TransportationCommission | 2008-10-22 | 7 | Chair Knox White inquired whether the changes were necessary, and he hoped the report would indicated whether the traffic generated in that area would have caused the concerns, particularly the traffic blockage on Park Street. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Krueger whether traffic counts had been conducted, Staff Khan replied that they were done. Chair Knox White inquired about the results of the traffic counts, and how they compared. Staff Khan replied that staff used the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) analysis, and that the information would be brought forward at a later date. Generally, staff found the impact to be much less than what was cited in the MND. d. Upcoming development-related traffic studies and plans Staff Khan noted that staff would keep the Transportation Commission updated on further SunCal updates. e. Future meeting agenda items Staff Khan noted that the Final EIR comments for the Transportation Master Plan would be brought forward on the November 12, 2009, meeting or later in November in a joint meeting with the Planning Board. Staff Khan noted that the parking study for the Business District will be brought forward either in November or December. Commissioner McFarland noted that he drove to work from High Street to I-880, and noticed a lot of activity on the road by the Shell station in Oakland. He inquired about the status of the I-880 widening work, and noticed a lot of utility and drainage work. Staff Khan replied that the plans were to start some of the work in 2009. He added that the project would be coordinated with the County's work as well. He added that CalTrans planned to do most of the work at night, without closing lanes during the day. Staff Bergman noted that the Interagency Liaison Committee meeting had been held with AC Transit, which had collected some data in September about the changes on Line 63, and how they affected run times. Each proposed change at Alameda Point and near Encinal High School was anticipated to gain about two minutes each. Chair Knox White noted that Staff Bergman mentioned that the City did not receive the grant to fund a long-range transit plan update. He believed that in terms of the casual carpool issue, the City should be careful to prioritize things. He proposed that in November or December, either staff or a Transportation Commission subcommittee should be develop a scope of work for a long-range transit plan update. 7 | TransportationCommission/2008-10-22.pdf |
