TransportationCommission | 2015-02-25 | 8 | Transportation Commission March 25, 2015 Item #4B Page 8 of 10 yellow line near Hometown Donuts at Appezzato and Main Street. Commissioner Miley stated that as a jogger he really liked the meandering path and he liked the fact that pedestrians were buffered from the traffic. However, he was concerned about approving the design without knowing that the budget can create the full vision and that will leave open questions on the precise design. So, he asked staff if there were time constraints from the other funding sources. Staff Payne replied there are no time constraints with the other funding sources except for the federal monies, which need to be expended by December. She explained there are few ways of handling the design based on the outcome of the funds. Firstly, the competitive grant that was received was for multiuse and jogging paths. If there are funding issues then staff will have to go with the original approach for the first phase, which would be to construct the multiuse path and later on construct a separate walking path. If the project is delayed due to environmental remediation then staff may have to scale back the separate path concept. Commissioner Miley moved the item and asked staff to come back to the Commission and Board if the Board is interested with any changes, updates or delays. Commissioner Schatmeier seconded the motion. The motion was approved 13-0. 6. Approve TIGER Grant Application: Naval Air Station Alameda Multimodal Regional Connections Project Lev Kushner presented the report and asked the Commission and Board for an endorsement of the concept. Commissioner Schatmeier stated that the proposal had a circle with a "T" inside and labeled proposed transit center. Lev Kushner replied the symbol represented the linkage of the bus rapid transit and ferry terminal. Commissioner Schatmeier said there was a star located north side of the ferry terminal icon on another map and that interface was different so, he wanted a clear understanding of what the icons represent. Lev Kushner said he will revise the maps since it was not clear. Boardmember Burton asked Lev Kushner to describe the Central Avenue bike lane changes in detail and describe in detail the changes to the bus lanes on Stargell Avenue. Lev Kushner said along Stargell Avenue there will be queue jump lanes at the two intersections of Main and Fifth Streets headed towards the Webster Tube. | TransportationCommission/2015-02-25.pdf |
