TransportationCommission | 2016-01-27 | 6 | budget and how staff should be mindful if the economy takes a dip because the service is tied to sales tax dollars. He said he would like to see the reserves stay as close to the allowable limit as possible in order to have it for a rainy day. Additionally, he said he would like to see travel training included as part of the outreach and marketing effort. He mentioned that he knows Alameda County has an open data initiative in order for the public to view and download information. He would like, if possible, to provide that information some how on the City's website on a rolling basis to see how the City's programs are working. Commissioner Schatmeier moved to approve staff recommendations. Commissioner Miley seconded the motion. The motion was approved 6-0. 5.D. Cross Alameda Trail - Atlantic Segment (Rochelle Wheeler, Public Works) Rochelle Wheeler presented the report. Commissioner Bellows said the total traffic delay was measured in hours and she understood that, but she wanted to know what the total delay in number of stops would be. She asked staff to clarify. Staff Patel replied the table that was shown in the exhibit pertains to conducting an arterial level of service analysis. Therefore, it was looking at the average speed base Level of Service (LOS) in the existing condition versus the delay. Commissioner Bellows asked staff what was the delay in number of hours. She said the information says eastbound equals one hour and with the recommended option, it increases to 2 hours, but that does not make sense. Staff Patel replied it does not make sense in this case because staff is only looking at speed and how the speed drops with the lane configuration. Commissioner Bellows replied so what is the number of stops. Staff Patel replied the number of stops is how often the traffic was stopped and what the queuing impact was. He went on to say that staff will have to explain this more carefully. He stated that staff has not done the detail analysis for the LOS at the intersection. However, he said staff will come back to the Commission and report the LOS including queuing in more detail. Commissioner Bertken asked staff if they actually made the traffic volume counts on the movements and if that information was available. Staff Patel said yes and staff has traffic volume, pedestrian, bicycle and transit counts. Commissioner Bertken explained to staff that it would be helpful to review the data available in order to review the impacts. Commissioner Morgado asked staff if they looked at the number of people driving out of the driveway next to Starbucks. Page 6 of 16 | TransportationCommission/2016-01-27.pdf |
