TransportationCommission | 2013-01-23 | 12 | County Transportation Commission (CTC). Staff takes the list of expenditures to the various commissions/boards and the City Council approves a resolution, which then goes to Alameda CTC. The Transportation Commission is making a recommendation to the City Council. Commissioner Schatmeier asked if opening the service to the public justified the continued operation of the shuttle. He then asked if staff had specific general public ridership goals and if they do not attain those goals does that mean service is in jeopardy. Staff Payne explained that the service is fine with or without the public riding the shuttle. Although it is not a full shuttle, there are transit needs in the City so staff feels that they need to create more transit options for residents. She said that they have about 500 riders per month and the operation is deemed cost effective for now. Commissioner Vargas called for the Commission to make a motion. Commissioner Bellows moved to accept staff's report. Commissioner Wong seconded the motion. The motion was approved 5-0. 5F. Proposed Grant Submittals Staff Payne presented an update on staff actions. Commissioner Vargas asked about the outcome of the Priority Development Areas (PDAs) that did not meet the Alameda CTC requirements. He wondered whether it was because we did not have enough units constructed. Staff Payne explained that the PDAs are required to have constructed a certain threshold of units or have them in the pipeline. Also, staff was not done with the planning and the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for Alameda Point. Commissioner Vargas asked in regards to the grants that are community oriented do we have the potential to partner with a non-profit organization so the City can work in partnership with others. Staff Payne replied she would look into it. She explained that staff used the transportation project priority list to select the projects for grant submittal. It was a nice way to see the list coming together and actually being used. Commissioner Vargas called for the Commission to make a motion. Commissioner Wong moved to accept staff's report. Commissioner Schatmeier seconded the motion. The motion was approved 4-0; 1 abstention. Transportation Commission Meeting Minutes Page 12 of 14 | TransportationCommission/2013-01-23.pdf |
