TransportationCommission | 2015-07-22 | 4 | at I-880 headed northbound and westbound. He said there use to be a left-hand turn signal and once the signal was done and motorists were stopped at the light they could still make a left-hand turn. However, with the new signal it is a left-hand only turn, so when the signal is green motorists cannot make a left hand turn. He felt vehicles are trapped at the left-hand turn and he wondered who made that decision. Commissioner Bellows replied Caltrans operates those signals if it relates to the freeway. Commissioner Schatmeier replied Jim Strehlow's comment was well taken because the interchange is a disaster since it has been reconstructed. Commissioner Bellows replied she would talk to the staff at Caltrans to see what could happen. Commissioner Miley seconded Jim Strehlow's comment and said the interchange never really worked and may be worse now. Commissioner Bellows felt the interchange was broader now. Commissioner Miley said constructing two left turn lanes or a split left may have been brought up at a previous Commission meeting to push more traffic through. However, he felt something should be done to improve the functionality of the interchange and he hoped that staff will continue to push Caltrans to improve the functionality of the interchange. Jim Strehlow stated that the last issue he noticed was at San Leandro Boulevard when turning left onto High Street and into Alameda on the northwest corner. He saw a sign that reads City of Alameda, and it is in bad shape. He wondered who is responsible for the sign's condition. 3. A.
