TransportationCommission | 2015-01-28 | 3 | Transportation Commission March 25, 2015 Item #4A Page 3 of 10 Liam Garland replied that staff would present that information at the March Transportation Commission meeting. Commissioner Bertken asked Staff Payne about the capital improvements projects that were listed for the first two years and how staff would set up their resources such as scheduling city staff or consultants workload. Additionally, he wondered what are the actual priorities to push those projects forward. Staff Payne replied that there are three projects presented for the first two years and the Cross Alameda Trail project is funded. She also explained that the Cross Alameda Trail project will lose the federal funding in December and that was the highest priority although it was second on the list because the list is alphabetical order. Commissioner Hans felt the Shoreline Path should not be placed in the long-term 2021-2025 section and he wondered how to move the project up. Commissioner Vargas noticed that the background found on Exhibit 2 dated back to March 2014 and he asked staff when the comments would be revised. Staff Payne replied that the comments would be updated in March. She also said the Bayview/Shoreline Path study was placed in the long-term section of the ten-year plan and the project has proponents and opponents. Commissioner Hans replied how could the Commission move projects from the long-term to the short-term timeframe. Staff Payne replied the purpose of this month's meeting was to hear from the Commission and receive input and bring back a draft plan for approval in March. Commissioner Schatmeier stated when talking about moving projects up or down was there a dollar trade off and would staff have to move another project to medium or long-term to move a project up. Staff Payne replied yes because there is only a certain number of staff hours and available funds. Mayor Trish Herrera Spencer introduced herself and said she was attending all Commission and Board meetings to know what the City was working on. She found the presentation to be informative, but she felt staff should develop a map to coordinate with the projects. Commissioner Vargas opened the floor to public comments. Lucy Gigli, Director of Advocacy for Bike Walk Alameda, stated that that her organization has been working for years with the City on the Capital Improvement Project (CIP) list and she found that this list has been the best one that aligned with the bicycle, pedestrian and transportation plans.
