TransportationCommission | 2019-07-24 | 4 | Staff Member Payne said that they discussed the Line 19 restoration with AC Transit and specifically chose Buena Vista to increase ridership with a wider catchment area. She added that Clement is a truck route and that staff prefers not to burden the truck route with a bus route as well. Commissioner Johnson asked if the bike signal at Park Street would be on demand, or always active. Mr. Wozniak said the plan would be to have detection so that the bike signal phase would only activate when a bicyclist is present. Commissioner Johnson asked what would happen to the abundant power poles and lines along the north side of the street. Staff Member Thomas said the higher voltage lines run along the northern side and they have been told by AMP to not expect to underground those lines. He said that there will be some poles that get undergrounded along the northern side with each new development, but the 115kv lines will stay. Commissioner Nachtigall asked how option 3 would make it so that more street trees could be placed along the corridor. Staff Member Payne explained how street trees could be placed in the striped visibility zones adjacent to the bike facility near intersections. She added that more detail would be included as the plans get further developed. Commissioner Weitze asked what percentage of the project is already paid for. Staff Member Payne said they have a federal grant for over five million dollars that will pay for 88% of the project. Commissioner Weitze said that his research showed that trailered boats could only be nine feet wide without getting a wide load permit. Commissioner Johnson asked for more information about the stop sign discussion that has taken place. Staff Member Thomas said they would put in stop signs when it is warranted. He said the Alameda Marina project would result in some additional stops signs. Mr. Wozniak said there would be two new four way stops at two new locations for access to the Alameda Marina project. 4 | TransportationCommission/2019-07-24.pdf |
