TransportationCommission | 2019-09-25 | 8 | Staff Member Wheeler and Megan Wooley-Ousdahl, Toole Design, gave a presentation. The staff report and attachments can be found at: https://alameda.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=4139824&GUID=46062EA4- SEOC-4F62-8938-8DC2CD9B2970&FullText=1 Commissioner Yuen asked if the Technical Advisory Committee has changed to the Community Advisory Group. Staff Member Wheeler said that it has indeed changed to a Community Advisory Group. She said they would still use the Vision Zero Task Force in order to gather technical feedback. Commissioner Yuen asked how we were recruiting for the Community Advisory Group. Staff Member Wheeler said they are reaching out to people now from different groups and demographics in the city to attempt to identify a diverse representation of the community. Commissioner Weitze asked why we are doing all the audits and data collection before a major piece of infrastructure like the Cross Alameda Trail is complete. Staff Member Wheeler said most of the data collection has been gathering the existing data rather than generating new data. She said there are lots of other facilities and areas of the city that have identified issues that they want to move forward with. She said there will be an automatic bike counter on the new trail which will provide an ongoing source of data. Chair Soules asked how the survey sample size will ensure an accurate representation and not oversample or under sample certain populations. Ms. Wooley-Ousdahl said the community survey would be statistically significant with a professional research firm that has methods to ensure a proper sample. She added that the focus groups would be another area where they can be very deliberate about who they reach out to for input. Chair Soules said that equity in lifestyle, not just demographics, is important to achieve a true mix of Alamedans, and that transparency in that area will be important. Commissioner Nachtigall said she is not sure that what is described as a focus group is a true focus group. Staff Member Wheeler explained the way staff envisioned conducting the focus groups with specialized subsets of people such as park users, business groups, or disabled residents. 8 | TransportationCommission/2019-09-25.pdf |
