TransportationCommission | 2013-10-23 | 13 | Commissioner Wong asked AC Transit staff if the preferred relocation recommendations were a package deal or could the Commission approve them separately. David Fyfe said it is not a package deal. Commissioner Wong explained that she found value of relocating some of the bus stops but for the others she did not see intended service or safety improvements. Robert del Rosario explained that the relocation's objective is to improve the time savings to load the passenger quickly. Commissioner Vargas asked AC Transit staff how they addressed bus stop relocations around schools in other cities that they serve. William Buller said they work with the schools and attempt to find a solution either by shifting the bus stop or working around established equipment that impedes on relocating the stop. Ultimately, they work around the obstacles to find a solution. Commission Bellows would like to make separate motions. Commissioner Schatmeier felt the Commission would review the first and second tiers. There should be discussion on prioritizing the locations for the second tier. Commission Vargas requested clarification on whether the first tier was priority deployment and the second tier would need further discussion. David Fyfe said staff evaluated the technical basis for operational benefits and safety concerns. The first tier does not have a traffic signal and the second tier is all traffic signal controlled. Thus, all locations give operational benefits, but the first tier is not traffic signal controlled. Commission Vargas asked AC Transit staff if they were looking for a package approval to move the project along quickly. Staff Payne directed the Commission to pages 26-27 of the staff report. The pages illustrate all the items needed for approval. Commissioner Vargas called for a motion Commissioner Bertken moved to endorse the five items found on page 26 of the staff report. Commissioner Bellows seconded the motion. The motion was approved 6-0. Commissioner Bellows made a motion to approve the intersection relocations separately. Commissioner Bellows moved to approve the relocation at Santa Clara Avenue and Mozart Street. Commissioner Bertken seconded the motion. The motion was approved 6-0.
