TransportationCommission | 2012-11-28 | 13 | state and federal program, but one of the two does not fund improvements to high schools. Jim Wullschleger, Broadway and Central resident, was glad to see the Commission approve the pedestrian buttons and he is fully in support of the action. He noticed that the pedestrian button could be a nuisance if the locator button is too loud or not adjusted correctly. He felt Staff Payne did a great job on the Shore Line project and he is in support of a volunteer based traffic program. He would like to see a speed tracker use flash photography to capture speeders once technology becomes cheaper. 5D. Revised Draft Prioritized Transportation Project Lists Staff Payne presented a summary of the report. Commissioner Vargas asked if staff was seeking the Commission's approval of the list so it could move forward to the Planning Board and then the City Council. Staff Payne replied the item would go to the Planning Board on December 10, 2012 and the City Council on January 14, 2013. Commissioner Miley thanked staff for taking feedback from the Planning Board, Transportation Commission and City Council and incorporating the comments into the list. Commissioner Schatmeier asked about the paratransit shuttle listed as a project within the list. Staff Payne replied the paratransit shuttle is listed on page 1of the Implementation List right after Exhibit 1. Commissioner Schatmeier stated that he was against the shuttle service before its implementation because he was skeptical about the way it would be deployed. Thus, he would like to have some performance data since its implementation. Staff Payne replied that the performance report would be provided at the next meeting as part of the annual review of the Paratransit program. Commissioner Vargas stated that he noticed that part of the next action after implementation is a quarterly report coming back to the Commission and Planning Board. Yet, he remembered that some comments provided by others such as the Planning Boardmember John Knox White recommended a report annually or biannually. So, he wanted to know why staff decided on a quarterly report. Staff Payne stated that staff will present a quarterly report on project updates and they plan to update the list annually. Commissioner Vargas asked how the list considered Assembly Bill 32 and Senate Bill 375. Staff Payne replied that these bills are highlighted in the Complete Street Policy Resolution (item Page 13 of 15 | TransportationCommission/2012-11-28.pdf |
