TransportationCommission | 2018-12-03 | 4 | Chair Miley asked if a further detailed design could be brought back to their next meeting. Staff Member Wikstrom said the detailed design would not change the response to the questions regarding the traffic analysis. He said he would just represent the EIR and already approved policies. Chair Miley said he thinks addressing potholes along with the striping project. Commissioner Palmer asked when Seaplane Lagoon terminal would open. Staff Member Wikstrom said it is targeted for February 2020. Commissioner Soules said she would be looking for a supplemental staff report more than a more detailed design. She said she did not want to reopen the master plan, but that the information helps the traveling public understand where things fit in the pipeline. She said there is no tangible data showing that people would make the mode shift. She asked for more information on the potential impacts of queueing. She said people do not understand what "level of service being adequate" means and that it could mean a missed ferry for people who were not engaged. She suggested a public awareness effort for the captive audience on the ferry. Commissioner Nachtigall suggested reaching out to the ferry riders to inform them. She said there is value in the safety aspects of the project but most ferry riders were unaware of the potential changes. Commissioner Palmer said the fact that there is an existing path is amazing and it seems like a win win if we value safety to invest in the pathway. Staff Member Wheeler said the western path on Main St. was pretty deficient. She said she is looking into grant funding to bring the path up to standards in the Master Infrastructure Plan. She said the cost would be several million dollars over the same corridor. She said that the grant process will be a multiple year process. Commissioner Johnson said this is an interim change and does not preclude action in the future. Chair Miley said he is supportive of this project. He said the west end needs more bike facilities. He said he could use more info to understand potential unintended consequences.
