TransportationCommission | 2019-05-22 | 6 | Commissioner Yuen said she was trying to figure out what was the safest alternative between the Class Il and Class IV options. She said she is uncertain, but would support a Class IV option given her understanding of best practices. Chair Miley said he would normally support protected lanes where ever possible, but thinks that this location would not be right because of the presence of so many children. Commissioner Kohlstrand said that she thinks the street can work as a two lane street with turning lanes, but that her earlier concerns were in the interest of respecting the will of the broader community beyond her personal views. She said that, given that most speakers tonight are in favor of the project, she will support it with some reservations. Commissioner Soules said she is concerned about people who are not represented or cannot bike for different reasons. She said knowing that this project is just paint, she feels okay moving forward. She said that going forward, how workshops are attended and surveys constructed will be important. She said there is not a capacity issue on this portion of Otis. She said she would make a motion to support the staff recommendation and Class Il bike lanes. Chair Miley restated his motion. The motion passed 4-1 (Yuen opposed.) Commissioner Yuen said she opposed the motion because she preferred the Class IV option in front of Rittler Park. 5-B 2019-6926 Recommend Transportation Projects in Alameda's 2019-2021 Capital Budget to the City Council. Staff Member Wikstrom gave a presentation.

Staff Member Wikstrom said the paths would typically fit under the pavement management program because most of the pathways are asphalt. Chair Miley suggested that there may be other less prominent intersections in the city where roundabouts could be employed to help acquaint residents with their use.
