TransportationCommission | 2016-09-28 | 6 | Staff Payne replied we should be thinking about the fact that this list of projects is competing with other projects countywide. Commissioner Bellows asked staff how much funding is available and how many jurisdictions. Staff Payne replied $161 million and 14 jurisdictions including the county as well as BART, AC Transit and LAFTA that would be submitting as well. Commissioner Bellows would like to see the Central Avenue project moved up because that has been reviewed. Staff Payne replied that at the end of October they would see if they get the active transportation grant. Commissioner Bellows replied Caltrans supported the Central Avenue Complete Streets projects and if there are letters of commitment from others that creates a very strong argument. She explained that she would also like to see Alameda Bay Point Trail is a huge thing with MTC to finish the Bay Trail and that would be an attractive project and it's only $10 million with an ask for $8 million. The new ferry terminal at Seaplane Lagoon is critical as well, but it should be reviewed one by one. Commissioner Miley stated that he was slightly uncomfortable with shifting things around without having a full picture of how staff prioritized the list. Jennifer Ott replied given what they heard of interest of the bike pedestrian bridge and the Estuary Crossing staff feels comfortable at moving the Estuary Shuttle up and it's a small amount and other considerations that were reviewed is whether they have matching funds available one reason ferry terminal is there because there is a $10 m contribution from the developer as well as the Bay trail have Measure WW from the park district and we can leverage. Also spread this around geographically and look at other parts of the island. Also looking at the crossing issues Clement Avenue and east extension. They are open to their suggestions and one reason central avenue is lower on list because of the other funding sources they could qualify for they could have ATP funding that may come through but they will look to the TC for direction. Commission Bellows replied if in fact October 31 due when is their estimated timeline to make a decision. Jennifer Ott replied the ATP grant for Central Avenue is due in October 28, so Staff Payne has to do the work no matter what. Commissioner Bellows replied so when are they going to make their decision. Jennifer Ott replied they would make the decision October 28 right before this is due. Commissioner Bellows replied they are going to submit these grants in October, so when will ACTC say you have the funds. Page 6 of 9 | TransportationCommission/2016-09-28.pdf |
