TransportationCommission | 2015-03-25 | 4 | Transportation Commission May 27, 2015 Item #4A Page 4 of 13 remaining funds would be $20 million. Liam Garland replied the numbers should be consistent and the $20 million in funds is a typo. Commissioner Schatmeier stated that some funds, which were initially devoted to street paving and road rehabilitation, have been reallocated to transportation. Therefore, he asked for the dollar amount. Liam Garland replied that the funds have not been reallocated, but moved from rehabilitation to transportation and that would be a $10 million project. Commissioner Schatmeier said the change would cause the remainder of the other transportation projects to have $9 million for funding. Liam Garland replied yes. Commissioner Schatmeier explained that part of the short-term capital project plan was updating the pedestrian and bicycle plans, which were completed in 2009 and 2010, respectively. Thus, he wanted to know if the transit plan also would be updated since the last update was in 2001 and if there was another source of funding to update the plan. Staff Payne replied that the transit plan update was currently going through a separate process with City Council and staff would have a special City Council meeting about this soon. She explained for now there was a placeholder project called the Island Access Study for that item because staff was not sure what the City Council would approve. Commissioner Schatmeier asked staff if the Island Access Study would be multimodal. Staff Payne replied that the City Council would discuss whether to have a separate transit plan and a separate Transportation Demand Management plan. Commissioner Schatmeier asked staff if they have identified funding for the study. Staff Payne replied no. Commissioner Vargas referred to the City's Transportation Element within Exhibit 3 and he wondered if there have been changes to the street classification system that described the street types. Staff Payne replied that the Transportation Element was passed in 2009 and the document was a significant effort. She said if the Transportation Element was to be revised, the Transportation Commission would have an active part in the process and staff does not plan to change the document any time soon. Commissioner Bertken said the staff report and presentation was the best presentation of a budget plan that he has seen in the many years that he has worked in this profession. | TransportationCommission/2015-03-25.pdf |
