TransportationCommission | 2009-04-22 | 10 | DRAFT modes; with transit, if auto intersection LOS outside of Alameda and Oakland was looked at that the first stop outside of Alameda be looked at as well, as a corridor that crosses the city boundary. He also suggested that the transit threshold be a 10% degradation no matter the level of service. For auto LOS, the current city threshold for intersections be used; use staff recommendations for arterial segments. Under bike/pedestrian, recommended adding that when below LOS B a finding of significance would be found when there is a 10% degradation. He stated that this proposed motion would allow for the bicycle and pedestrians modes could go down to B with no impact. Transit could be LOS A and if there were a 10% reduction in travel speed, it would be an impact. Commissioner Krueger asked for a clarifying question on the proposed motion. Asked if the requirement for the same radius when looking at a nexus, would cover looking at a stop on the Oakland side; if the radius extends into Oakland, then that's how many stops on the Oakland side one might consider. Chair Knox White thought there should be clarification. Commissioner Krueger asked why limited to the first stop. Chair Knox White stated half the corridor in Oakland did not need to be looked at. Commissioner Krueger noted it was being done for cars. Staff Khan stated there was a difference. He explained that a developer's trips from a development could impact an intersection in another jurisdiction. The other jurisdiction doesn't have the same thresholds and we meet their thresholds when we cross the City boundary. Chair Knox White noted it was a corridor; would be one stop in; looking at a corridor which would be the majority of Alameda. Staff Khan stated the need to keep it on the side of Alameda. Chair Knox White agreed. The Commission made the following recommendation: 1) the nexus area be equal in size for all modes; with transit, if auto intersection LOS outside of Alameda and Oakland was looked at that the first stop outside of Alameda be looked at as well. 2) The transit threshold would be a 10% degradation in travel speed, no matter the level of service. 3) For auto LOS, the current city threshold for intersections would be used, and use the staff recommendations for arterial segments; and 4) for the bicycle and pedestrian modes, when LOS is below B, a finding of significance would be found when there is a 10% degradation in the delay (for pedestrians) and the LOS score (for bicycles). Moved to Conflict Resolution. Staff Bergman discussed the two alternatives in terms of resolving conflicts and the recommended thresholds. Referred to the sample corridor on page 4 of the staff report; summarized the tables, looked at the segment of Ralph Appezzato Memorial Parkway and Atlantic Avenue extending from Main Street to Constitution Way; described as a regional Page 10 of 15 | TransportationCommission/2009-04-22.pdf |
