TransportationCommission | 2009-05-27 | 8 | DRAFT Chair Knox White noted that line 63 route displayed on the map is incorrect. He also noted it was odd that two of the top three strategies are the same, but different operators. Suggested they could be the same goal. Weekend service to Alameda Point is the goal. Staff Bergman noted that the route and number of the 63 Bus might change in the future, therefore note the report in such a manner that it would describe the route without referring to the bus number. Commissioner Moehring refers to page 6-52, C, amend to reflect the fact that the pipe in the tube will not be fixed and that the capital cost would be $2.5 million. Commissioner Krueger referred to page 6-19, discussion regarding bus service to the hospital and the bus stop at Otis and Willow. Report stated the stop had been rejected. Thought the stop was on hold, but not rejected. Chair Knox White suggested wording be changed regarding the bus stop. Staff Khan noted that the line 63 issues will be going to Council in July. Commissioner Krueger noted that the staff report should cite this report in terms of the issues to access to the hospital. 7A. Approval Parking Restrictions at Casual Carpool Site at Santa Clara and Webster and Enhancement of a Casual Carpool Site on Park Avenue near Encinal Avenue Staff Bergman presented the staff report. Stated the casual carpool had been discussed several times in the past when there were parking, bus interferences and ticketing issues with its location. Carpoolers relocated their pickup spot, and staff conducted surveys. It was determined the riders liked being near a bus stop; in case they did not get a carpool driver to pick them up, so they could hop on the bus. A new location was discussed on the East side of Broadway at Encinal Avenue; it was next to a traffic signal and had a wide travel lane, which should benefit pedestrians and minimize impacts on traffic circulation. Additional outreach was conducted and it initially seemed people were supportive of that location. Upon sending notifications out to people in the vicinity, there was much opposition from residents and carpoolers. Staff responded by modifying the recommendation to try and improve the location where it is currently being done. A comment was received from the liquor storeowner on the corner of Encinal & Park Avenue regarding interference in the driveway. He asked that people keep his driveway clear, but did not express opposition to the carpool site. An outreach campaign will be done asking riders to stay clear of the driveway and not make U-turns on Encinal Avenue. In terms of Santa Clara and Webster stop, the parking restriction to keep the free spaces clear between the hours of 7-9 a.m., M-F, has been received favorably. The recommendation is to support the parking restrictions on Santa Clara and Webster Street and to conduct the outreach campaign for the casual carpool site at Encinal and Park Avenue.
