Commissioner Bellows needed clarification on the plan to acquire additional parking and how that would tie into the Seaplane Lagoon improvements and future service at Seaplane Lagoon. Kevin Connolly replied that they are engaged with Alameda staff to look at the whole range of potential outcomes and variations. However, WETA's improvements are based on the short- term access study because they are not looking at making 20-year investments until they know the outcome of the Seaplane Lagoon Project. Commissioner Schatmeier stated that he wanted to speak about transit access issues. When he worked in Marin County, he traveled using the Alameda-Oakland and Golden Gate Ferries. He explained that Golden Gate Transit had a long history of feeder shuttles to the Larkspur Ferry Terminal and no one used the service. Regarding AC Transit, he was disturbed with the 66 percent on-time performance rating and he was doubtful that eliminating the last trip on Line # 21 to serve the morning ferry riders was helpful. Moreover, he said staff should review the ridership gain if they are going to re-route Line #31. Commissioner Morgado asked staff how far away was the O'Club lot from the ferry terminal. Staff Payne replied that there are 138 spaces at the O'Club parking lot and noted that the staff report displayed the parking lot as the blue rectangle. Commissioner Morgado stated that motorists usually park on the unregulated part of Main Street in the morning. Staff Payne replied that was correct. Commissioner Morgado asked staff how many people actually park there. Staff Payne replied they saw the total number of cars parking on Main Street come from all over the presented map from West Midway to the west gate/Navy Way, and they were willing to walk to the terminal. Commissioner Morgado asked staff if the City allowed people to park at the O'Club lot, would a crosswalk be present. Staff Payne replied a crosswalk was not present and that was one of the requests presented by Lucy Gigli of BikeWalk Alameda. She said that the O'Club lot was used by the Park and Recreation Department. Commissioner Schatmeier replied that his son had a wedding party at Rosenblum Cellars and they recently moved to Jack London. He does not know if the site has been replaced by a new tenant, but if not could the vacant parking spaces be utilized. Kevin Connolly said that Bay Ship and Yacht is interested in leasing the space.
