Next Steps of the Federal Transportation Administration Grant Funds for Improving Transit Access to and from Alameda Point Staff Payne presented the report. Commissioner Bertken said last spring he was using AC Transit's Line W two days a week and he was annoyed by the lack of a queue lane along Webster Street north of Atlantic Avenue. Commissioner Bellows asked if the Federal Transportation Administration (FTA) monies had an expiration date. Staff Payne replied yes there is expiration and they requested an extension. Staff Payne also explained that BART allowed an extension until December 31, 2015. Commissioner Bellows asked if the queue jump design was currently under design. Staff Payne replied yes it is under design and they have at least 65 percent of the construction drawn out. Commissioner Bellows asked staff if the project would be fully funded. Staff Payne replied yes. Also, she explained that Commissioner Vargas presented an idea which would give the queue jump lane the first in line for construction. Commissioner Bellows asked staff about the Cross Alameda Trail and the timing of the construction. Staff Payne replied the funds have to be used by December 31, 2015. Commissioner Bellows stated that measure B monies typically are used within a couple of years. She wanted to know if the plan is fully funded or easily phased because the ultimate goal is to get the trail to Alameda Point. Staff Payne replied yes. Commissioner Vargas called for a motion. Commissioner Bellows made a motion to approve the item. Commissioner Morgado seconded the motion. The motion was approved 4-0. | TransportationCommission/2014-04-23.pdf |
