TransportationCommission | 2012-04-25 | 6 | Commissioner Miley made a motion that the Commission recommends the City Council to endorse this transportation expenditure plan for Measure B. Commissioner Vargas seconded the motion. The recommendation was approved 7-0. Staff Khan spoke about the Miller Sweeney Bridge and the challenges. Measure B, supports the $94 million application for the super structure and they along with their cosponsor Alameda County will continue to develop this project. He also stated that Alameda County submitted applications for the Park Street and High Street Bridges. Commissioner Bertken asked staff to define replacing the Park and High Street Bridges. Staff Khan replied the plan is to take down and replace the bridges because the Park and High Street bridges are reaching their life cycle and will need more maintenance when looking at a 20- 30 year period. Commissioner Miley said staff is looking to replace the High Street and Park Street bridges. Yet, the full replacement and steel structures overtop may prevent them from being called lifeline structures. But once they are replaced, they can be considered lifelines. Staff Khan stated he does not have the full details yet, but they may be potential lifeline structures once replaced. Commissioner Bertken explained that once the bridges are replaced they would be in accordance with seismic standards and they should be lifeline structures. Staff Khan replied that should be true. He mentioned the multimodal circulation project at Broadway and Jackson Street and presented a brief overview of the project. He wanted to quickly describe the project since it was mentioned. 4B. Appeal of All-Way Stop Control at Fourth Street/Santa Clara Avenue Staff Khan presented the staff report. Commissioner Bellows asked if crosswalks are located all the way around the intersection. She then asked if there are advance-warning signs that say "Slow School Crossing" anywhere on Santa Clara Avenue. Staff Khan replied when they installed the two crosswalks, the intersection is only for the white crosswalks since the distance is far away from the school. The yellow school crosswalks do not qualify for this location. Commissioner Bellows said she was thinking of a volunteer crossing guard plan, so she was happy that Staff Khan mentioned the Adopt-a-Crosswalk Program. She mentioned when making a midblock crossing on Park Street there is a flashing warning that pedestrians can hit to alert approaching vehicles. So, maybe the Safe Routes to School program could adopt something like that since it is on a Safe Routes to School route. Page 6 of 14 | TransportationCommission/2012-04-25.pdf |
