TransportationCommission | 2009-04-22 | 13 | DRAFT thought for school & recreation; not conditional on the street type. Staff Khan noted that if land use changed, the modes would be segmented. Commissioner Krueger noted that may be more of an operational issue; it was a conflict resolution; if land use changes, the conflict would be treated differently. Staff Khan noted the models could not be broken down into very small segments; two intersections are needed to do an urban street analysis; when segments are broken into small pieces it becomes impossible to see the impact. Commissioner Moehring asked if staff was recommending Alternative 1 because there is more room for mitigation. Staff Khan replied that the recommendation was made because with this approach transit could be kept a priority, even in a conflict. Commissioner Krueger stated that in both alternatives, transit maintained a priority. Staff Khan stated the pedestrian was a local impact at an intersection; wanted to maintain transit as a constant. Commissioner Krueger asked if that was also the case in Alternative 2. Staff Khan replied that a primary transit route would not have the highest priority because of exclusive right of way. Commissioner Krueger noted that the inversion of pedestrian and transit in a commercial district on a regional arterial was the crux of the issue. Staff Bergman stated that part of the issue with Alternative 2 was the sequence in which the overlays were placed; land use is the final one; under Alternative 1, land use is considered first, the modal overlay would be done last. The Commission made the following recommendation to accept Alternative 1 for resolving conflicts. Chair Knox White noted the vote would be prioritizing transit over pedestrian at all times. Chair Knox White mentioned that some items were not voted on at the last meeting; 4 thresholds plus the off street path exemption, LOS E for bikes. Page 1, Exhibit 4, Alternative 2, the items not discussed were bullets 1, 3 and last 2. Commissioner Krueger stated he liked staff's recommendation. Staff Khan stated the edits were made; listed as Alternative 1, page 2 of 4, the last bullet. Chair Knox White noted the removal of the third bullet in Alternative 2; did not vote on short- term construction impact and safety impact. Page 13 of 15 | TransportationCommission/2009-04-22.pdf |
