TransportationCommission | 2009-02-25 | 12 | Open public hearing. Nathan Landau of AC Transit noted that there was not an unmanageable conflict with anything besides cars, unless the right of way becomes constricted. He noted that when there was one lane in each direction, a center turn and bike lanes, the bus would become very vulnerable to any disruption in that single lane. He added that they would look for solutions that did not harm either side. Close public hearing. Staff Khan noted that developers would like to know what kind of impacts their projects might create when proposing a project in the city. Chair Knox White would like this policy and the priorities to be spelled out in a clear, simple manner. Commissioner Schatmeier noted that LOS for transit has not yet been defined, and was glad that staff will continue to look into it. No action was taken. 8. STAFF COMMUNICATIONS Estuary Crossing/Feasibility Study Staff Khan noted that staff planned to release this study next month, and will be brought to the Transportation Commission in March. Broadway/Jackson Update Staff Khan noted that there was nothing new to report. Upcoming development-related traffic studies and plans Staff Khan understood that Boatworks Development was moving forward, and were in the EIR process. Staff would bring information to the Transportation Commission as it becomes available. Staff Khan noted that staff was deeply involved in the I-880 and 23rd/29th interchanges. CMA was moving forward with the proposal to eliminate northbound access on 23rd Avenue. He described the proposed redirection of traffic. Staff was concerned about a proposed new signal before the ramp meter, which would create more delays for traffic leaving Alameda. Chair Knox White inquired why that extra signal would be installed. Staff Khan replied that they wanted to combine the two ramps from Oakland and Alameda into one ramp, which was Caltrans' preference. 9.
