TransportationCommission | 2012-07-25 | 10 | Draft Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plans Staff Payne explained that ACTC has issued the Draft Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plans and they are on their website at www.alamedactc.org. The deadline for public comment is this Friday, July 27th, but they should be flexible about receiving comments after the deadline. Alameda CTC Planning and Programming Update Staff Khan explained that schedules for funding were made available, and the City must adhere to the deadlines. Staff will continually inform the Commission about what is happening at the ACTC. Potential Future Meeting Agenda Items Staff Payne explained that the next meeting will take place Wednesday, September 26th and should include the following: - The Quarterly Report - Complete Streets Policy - Draft Prioritized Transportation List - Regional Transit Access Study 7. Announcements/ Public Comments Commissioner Schatmeier commented about the AC Transbay Line OX and that the item was not on this agenda. He wanted to acknowledge the passing of Cory LaVigne, Director of Service Development and Planning at AC Transit. He knew him professionally, and he thought he was a fine man. He hoped that the Line OX item would be on the September meeting agenda. Staff Khan acknowledged that Cory LaVigne's sudden passing and it impacted City's transit timeline for the Line OX item. Jim Strehlow wanted to speak after the Commissioners' comments about agenda item 5C. He understood that there was a discussion of having a circulator bus traverse through Alameda Point. He would like to know when they are going to discuss the Beltline because the property would be used instead of Atlantic Avenue or Pacific Avenue. Moreover, he would like to know when will the area be developed and when will they have access to it. Staff Khan responded that the Beltline property has been transferred to the City and a portion of the property is going to be used for the BRT. Jon Spangler explained that the BRT proposal looked good to him and since he once lived in Eugene, he was glad to see that area increase their transit service. His reason for speaking was to remind the Commission that Saturday, August 18th from 11 am to 8 pm the East Bay Bicycle Coalition would hold Pedal Fest at Jack London Square.
