Staff Khan assured Ms. Bowe that staff would not proceed with the project until it goes before the Transportation Commission in May. Commissioner Bertken asked Staff Khan to send a copy of the report and the grant to the Commissioners. 5. Staff Communications Alameda Paratransit Program Modification Update Regarding the MRTIP Program, the City will begin charging $2.50. At the last meeting, the Commission asked about charging $3.00, but given that the Premium Taxi service uses $2.50 coupons, it would be easier to implement the $2.50 charge. Staff received feedback from the Mastick Senior Center and they preferred the $2.50 charge. Staff will take this decision for approval to the next City Council meeting scheduled in May. Estuary Crossing Shuttle Update Staff Khan presented a report on the Estuary Crossing Shuttle Update. Overall, ridership has spiked, but bicycle usage has remained steady and staff is working with Bike Alameda to increase the numbers. Safe Routes to School Submittal Update for Grand Street at Wood Middle School Staff will submit the grant application on Thursday, March 29th. There is a minor tweak of the design, meaning the southbound bulb will either be eliminated or reduced. AC Transit found that without implementing the design modification, their southbound operation would be compromised. Therefore, a parking space would have to be removed and if there is public opposition to the reduction of parking spaces, the bulb-out will be eliminated. AC Transit Line OX Local Restrictions Staff received an email in February from AC Transit regarding a new policy to limit local transit riders on the OX Transbay line because the local commuters were reducing space for Transbay Commuters. Students make up the local ridership during the peak morning hours between Park Street and Encinal Avenue. In September, AC Transit will incorporate changes to the school route (Line 631) to better serve students. Future Meeting Agenda Items: In April, staff will bring up an appeal of an all-way stop at Fourth Street and Santa Clara Avenue, and the proposed San Antonio Avenue closure at Franklin School. The Shoreline Drive and Westline Drive Bike Lane design details also will come before the Commission. The Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan will come before the Commission next month.
