Draft Transportation Demand Management Plan for Alameda Point Andrew Thomas, Alameda City Planner, presented and requested that the Commission provide recommendations for the plan. Commissioner Vargas stated that a draft went before the Planning Commission recently. He wanted to know the draft's revisions and highlights since going before the board.
