TransportationCommission | 2015-05-27 | 8 | outside of this process. He understood that AC Transit Boardmember Pebbles has expressed interest in reviewing the Route 21 service at the next ILC meeting and he had no problem with that, but he suspected that Boardmember Pebbles was doing that to save some resources. Commissioner Miley stated that one priority would be that resources already expended in Alameda stay in Alameda. He felt it was important to have different government agencies' perspectives such as the Planning Board and City staff, so if there was a way to get a meeting accomplished by using existing infrastructure that would be ideal. Bob Haun explained that neither he nor Staff Patel could staff an ad hoc committee at this time due to short-term staffing constraints. He went on to say that Route 21 is on the agenda for the next ILC meeting scheduled on October 7 and that would be the appropriate time to speak to that item. He said if the Commission would like to have an informal committee they could do that without staff support, but the priority items would have to come back to the Transportation Commission for endorsement before it went out. Commissioner Bellows replied so the ad hoc committee could present their findings to the Commission and the Commissioners could discuss the items and agendize them for the September meeting. Bob Haun said that would be within the appropriate window because the next public hearing is November 8. He further explained that from the City's perspective they are interested in Route 19 for the Northern Waterfront because Marina Cove Il housing will be available as of spring 2016. Furthermore, he mentioned that the Estuary Crossing Shuttle was only funded for half a year and the City would like to keep that going. So, shifting the Route 19 service at Sherman to go up through Atlantic Avenue would basically pick up all the stops for the Estuary Crossing Shuttle. He pointed out that Route 31 touching Alameda Landing may have some synergy with the Alameda Landing Shuttle because there are significant contributions from Marina Cove II, Del Monte, Wind River and Marina Village who either subsidize the Estuary Shuttle or operate their own shuttle and they may want to jump on the boat too if Route 19 goes through Marina Village. Commissioner Bellows noted that Robert Del Rosario mentioned that there would be a line going down Buena Vista that would ultimately shift to Clement Avenue. Robert Del Rosario replied that staff talked about this in the very long-term and they would have to consider a number of factors such as bus stop placement and how the service would interact with the bicycle proposal along Clement Avenue. Commissioner Bellows asked Robert Del Rosario why the service would be placed on Clement Avenue. Robert Del Rosario replied to get closer to developments.
