TransportationCommission | 2012-04-25 | 2 | Jim Strehlow replied that the meeting should be included on the current agenda. Staff Payne replied it is not standard procedure to include the meeting and that is why it is just a bulleted item. She explained that the meeting would be discussed in the future agenda items. Furthermore, they conducted significant outreach with neighborhood barricades, City web site event calendar, an email to members of the Transportation Commission email list and a notification via regular mail to the adjacent neighborhood. Jon Spangler, Alameda resident and a League of American Cycling Instructor, explained that on Saturday, May 5 Bike Alameda will be offering a two-hour how to ride a bike classes to adults at the South Shore Center. They also will offer a one-hour commuter workshop session on how to commute by bicycle. The second half of the session will be on the road focusing on how to handle bikes better. Everyone is welcome and anyone who wants to take a class can register at www.ebbc.org./safety. Also, on Thursday, May 10 at Lum Elementary School, there will be a discussion to install bike lanes on Westline Drive and Shoreline Drive. 4. New Business 4A. Alameda County Transportation Expenditure Plan Staff Khan presented the Transportation Expenditure Plan process and introduced Tess Lengyel to present the plan in further detail. Tess Lengyel, Deputy Director of Policy, Public Affairs and Legislation for the Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC), presented the Transportation Expenditure Plan's development, outreach efforts, and direct allocations to Alameda. The ACTC will come back to the City of Alameda on Monday, May 14 for the Planning Board's approval and on Tuesday, May 15 for the City Council's endorsement. Commissioner Moehring asked for any additional comments from the Commission about the Transportation Expenditure Plan. For this month's meeting, the commissioners were asked to provide comments. Commissioner Miley stated in all his years working with government agencies, he has found ACTC to be the most responsive government agency. He explained that she mentioned 11 cities endorsed the plan, but he wondered about the transit agencies, meaning BART and AC Transit. Tess Lengyel replied AC Transit has unanimously supported the plan and ACTC staff is going to meet with BART tomorrow morning. Commissioner Miley commented about BART operating funds and asked if their county sales tax dollars go to fund BART operations or projects in other counties. If that is the case he asked if there is anything in the plan that states the funding must stay in Alameda County. Page 2 of 14 | TransportationCommission/2012-04-25.pdf |
