TransportationCommission | 2018-12-03 | 2 | https://alameda.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=3760863&GUID=29DE963A- 62EC-4E90-B019-0B7972B1A813&FullText=1 Commissioner Nachtigall asked how the changes would look at the Bay Ship entrance during shift change. Staff Member Wikstrom said that if there was a queue of cars entering the Bay Ship property it could cause a small backup on the westbound lane. Commissioner Soules asked how long the project would take to complete once started. Staff Member Wikstrom said it would take less than two weeks to complete. He added that the project will cost less than $100,000 and can be completed with already allocated funds. Commissioner Soules asked for more details about potential traffic impacts and analysis. Staff Member Wikstrom said the level of service analysis showed that the change would be acceptable. He said the cars currently waiting behind left turning vehicles are already delayed. He said the highest 15 minute volumes are about 100 cars. He said the maximum traffic is about 300 cars per hour. He said a single lane intersection can handle 500 cars per hour without problem. He said the number of users of the Main St. terminal will likely decrease when the Seaplane Lagoon terminal opens. Commissioner Soules asked that in the future the staff reports include details on where the problems get pushed to. Chair Miley asked if lowering the 35 mile per hour speed limit was considered. Staff Member Wikstrom said they did not plan to do that at this time. He said they may have more of a basis to reduce the speed limit after the changes are implemented. Chair Miley asked what percentage of the collisions involved bikes or pedestrians. Staff Member Wikstrom said that most of the data he looked at were vehicle to vehicle. Commissioner Hans asked how this would impact the overflow parking near the nursery. Staff Member Wikstrom said there would be no change to the parking conditions. Commissioner Palmer said we are using 2017 data here and it seems like ridership is up with the larger boats. She asked what was meant by a "calming effect."
