TransportationCommission | 2014-04-23 | 4 | Page 4 of 7 traveled and one is using the ferry. He viewed the importance of the ferry based on the current increase to ferry patronage and that has caused parking issues. Andrew Thomas said that the ferry system was an important component to Alameda Point. The capital improvements to extend BART and the freeway system are more costly than extending the ferry service from Alameda to areas such as San Francisco and South San Francisco. Commissioner Morgado asked about the timeframe for the total build out. Andrew Thomas stated that the build out estimate is 20-30 years, but it depends on the economy and commercial development, which generally takes longer. Commissioner Bertken wondered if the 80-acre development discussed earlier would be phased as each developer acquires land. Andrew Thomas replied yes. Commissioner Bertken asked about the specific infrastructure tax that is being levied on the taxpayer. Andrew Thomas replied there are a lot of infrastructure needs such as the sea level rise perimeter, open space system and fire building. The City will have the developers pay their share for this detailed infrastructure. Commissioner Vargas said he wanted to know the timing of the plan relative to the guidelines to be consistent with the plan's performance measures. He also encouraged the easiest and most effective options to be implemented to reduce vehicle trips. He also wondered if the plan does not meet the intended reductions could staff implement the plan citywide. The TDM plan should list the regional agencies that are included in the TMA, and should clarify it. Commissioner Vargas called for a motion. Commissioner Bertken made a motion to approve the item. Commissioner Morgado seconded the motion. The motion was approved 4-0. | TransportationCommission/2014-04-23.pdf |
