TransportationCommission | 2015-03-25 | 2 | Transportation Commission May 27, 2015 Item #4A Page 2 of 13 3. Announcements/ Public Comments Dorothy Freeman, Alameda resident, said one week ago she attended a meeting about the I-880 and 23rd/29th Avenues Overcrossing Project. She observed people asking questions and the standard reply from Caltrans staff and contractors were that traffic studies were conducted. She felt although the traffic studies were conducted 3-5 years ago, they may not have looked at the new construction work on the northern waterfront. She requested that the traffic study be updated and that the study look at new housing coming on board. She also was concerned with the Ford Street intersection across from the Park Street Bridge and wondered whether there would be pedestrian or bicyclist controls at the intersection. Staff Patel replied that staff was aware of the new traffic arrangement that would occur and staff reviewed the traffic signal plans and the new studies that Caltrans provided to them. Pedestrians crossing the intersection could activate the signal. Regarding the traffic studies, he said the studies include Alameda Landing, Alameda Point and road projects for the City. Jim Strehlow, Alameda resident, referred to the Cross Alameda Trail project at Ralph Appezzato Parkway and during last month's Transportation Commission meeting a plaza area was mentioned. He spoke to staff person Michelle Berner of West Alameda Business Association (WABA), and she said a consultant designer was working with the City, but she does not know the details. He urged staff to have the designs of the Webster Street plaza area fully vetted by WABA members. Staff Payne replied that the WABA design committee - not Michele Berner - has been working with the City and they have forwarded their design sketch for the Neptune Tower and plaza area. 3A.
