TransportationCommission | 2015-03-25 | 12 | Transportation Commission May 27, 2015 Item #4A Page 12 of 13 Staff Payne stated that she does not have it in front of her yet it is not anywhere near 100 percent, and the demand depends on the section of Clement Street. She requested that the Transportation Commissioners consider approving the traditional bike lane concept. Commissioner Miley stated that while the zoning may change, we have existing users and the City needs to balance equity and accommodate all users, but maintain their safety. Commissioner Miley moved to approve the concept so that staff could move the item forward to the City Council, but the concept should be focused on traditional Class II lanes. He also hoped the design would not preclude the City from being able to install cycle tracks in the future. Commissioner Bellows stated the motion should also make sure that truck traffic is accommodated and that the wide loads needed to be accommodated safely. Commissioner Bertken asked if the proposal also includes all the key features in the staff report. Commissioner Schatmeier wanted more information on parking demand. If the parking is used only 50 percent then staff should consolidate parking on one side of the street and have the cycle track. Commissioner Miley stated that a cycle track could go in the future, pending more information. Commissioner Bellows wanted to include more parking information and utilization rates with a feasibility study to see if parking could be consolidated. Commissioner Miley made a motion to approve staff concept recommendations with the exception of item b, instead make the lanes traditional Class II bike lanes. He also requested that staff accommodate truck access. Also, staff would look into parking demand and provide the parking information moving forward. Commissioner Morgado seconded the motion. The motion was approved 4-2, 1 abstention. 5D. Approve Point-to-Point Car Sharing Policy Staff Payne presented the report. Commissioner Bertken told staff that a car sitting in front of someone's home for three days could be a bit onerous. Commissioner Schatmeier asked staff if he reserved a car after 10 pm and parked the car close to his home would he be charged just for driving the car to his house. Staff Payne replied that was exactly how you would use the car, and the rental would end once you arrive at home. Commissioner Morgado requested that the review occur after one year. | TransportationCommission/2015-03-25.pdf |
