TransportationCommission | 2012-06-27 | 6 | Staff Payne replied that they heard more from the neighborhood and bicyclists more than from residents throughout the entire City of Alameda. She also mentioned that the document displays broad range of opinions. Commissioner Miley asked if staff conducted outreach through the Alameda Unified School District. Staff Payne replied that she tried to get the meeting included in the Lum School newsletter, but they did not publish it. Ultimately, she emailed the information to the Lum and Wood school administration and the PTAs, but she does not know how they distributed the news. 4D. Bicycle Facility Design Guidelines Staff Khan presented the staff report. Commissioner Moehring stated that she and Commissioner Bellows noticed on page 25 that staff might want to edit the pictures. Staff Khan replied staff would correct the issue. Commissioner Moehring replied staff did a terrific job incorporating the comments and working with the community including Bike Alameda and all concerned parties. Commissioner Miley believed that staff conducted an extensive outreach effort, which is wonderful. Commissioner Bertken asked about the issue regarding right turn lanes. He referred to the diagram on page 23 and it showed the cyclists moving straight through and there is a crossover on the right turn traffic, which looks very abrupt. Staff Khan replied that on page 23, Figure 10, it was a standard treatment for all bicycle lanes when they get to the intersection. Commissioner Bertken stated that he was not arguing that point, but there were no dimensions on the diagram and it appeared that there was just one lane of traffic coming in. Thus, the diagram was a bit ambiguous. Staff Khan replied the diagram is a bit misleading and when staff looked at standards around 200 feet in advance. They dropped the bike lane and included the dashed line to guide the motorists and bicyclists. Commissioner Miley made a motion to accept the draft guidelines as presented and request that they be presented to the Planning Board. Commissioner Bertken seconded the motion. The motion was approved 4-0. Page 6 of 10 | TransportationCommission/2012-06-27.pdf |
