TransportationCommission | 2013-09-30 | 4 | Avenue corridor, which is $3 million. Colin Burgett replied Clement Avenue has narrow sidewalks and tracks in the middle of the street whereas Santa Clara Avenue has finished curb and the improvements can be within the existing curb line. Director Knox White asked if transit were to be placed on Clement Avenue it would need to be widened. Colin Burgett replied yes including other improvements such as lane restriping, changes to the middle tracks, sidewalk widening and pedestrian crossing improvements. Director Knox White said AC Transit voiced concerns of running a line parallel to Lincoln Avenue next to its existing Santa Clara Avenue line. Yet, staff did not consider Clement Avenue. Colin Burgett replied that AC Transit had similar concerns of duplicating service along Clement Avenue. Boardmember Knox White referred to page 115 of the staff report and noted projected ridership goals by full build out including Alameda Point and Alameda Landing would be roughly 160 passengers per day, per bus or 75% vehicle capacity. However, that does not line up and he cannot figure out what it is saying. Colin Burgett said that could be related to the separate shuttle line, but the estimate was 4,000 passengers daily and when you factor in the Northern Waterfront that could potentially be 6,000 passengers per day. Commissioner Bellows referred to page 114 and said that the statistics refer to the Alameda Landing Shuttle. Boardmember Knox White said if these were short-term operation parameters, he would suggest re-writing that part because it suggested that Alameda Point and Alameda Landing are fully built out. He also referred to page 125 of the report regarding short-term shuttle service. The statistics show a cost of $4,000 annually for peak period only, but operational costs showed short-term costs of 16 hours a day for 252 days a year for two buses at $266,000. He wondered why it jumped 62 percent. John Atkinson explained that there were two scenarios and the information is related to shuttle acquisition meaning if the City owned and operated the shuttles or if they decided on turnkey operations. However, he would look at the exact information and get back to Boardmember Knox White. Boardmember Knox White referred to page 47 and said the report outlined 6 percent of daily person trips would be to and from Alameda to San Francisco. He wondered if the percentage was for all the internal trips as oppose to commute trips. Colin Burgett replied if you have a job intensive development like Alameda Point, the people Page 4 of 11 | TransportationCommission/2013-09-30.pdf |
