TransportationCommission | 2011-02-23 | 4 | He also thought that it was not smart to not have parking for townhomes. Even if residents did not need it, their guests might. Jim restated to not just limit ideas to the workbook. Commissioner Tribuzio responded that the design is to get people out of their cars. Building townhomes where people cannot park does not make sense due to the high prices for the homes and the fact that people have cars and will drive them. Tribuzio also stated that the ranking order did not make sense. Staff Khan responded that he just wanted to encourage the community participation to see where priorities lie. Khan reassured them that all written comments will be taken in consideration and will not be ignored. Commissioner Bertken agreed with Spangler that it is not consistent, and it is not good to have trade offs. Commissioner Vargas asked that the youth be considered and wanted to make sure to accommodate skateboarders. Since the average age is growing higher, it is important to have ADA standards. Commissioner Moehring stated that the intention is not to pick one and solve the problem, but to create alternatives. Commissioner Bertken asked how will the trade offs be done. Staff Khan gave an example that the BRT forum thought it was a good idea for the BRT to go to 12th Street BART but BRT to Fruitvale BART did not come up as a higher priority. Commissioner Moehring stated that the City cannot develop it all at once. It is a matter of gauging the impact and figuring out where to start. Moehring stated that it all had to be done at some point. Close public hearing. 5.
