TransportationCommission | 2020-07-22 | 10 | looking at more than one option because of what looked good. She also found the street typology interesting and a useful tool. Commissioner clarifying questions and comments #6C (Pedestrian Infrastructure) Commissioner Kohlstrand addressed the street typology map they had been given and gave some recommendations on places where it could be improved. She also made recommendations on how to make the bike/ped paths around the island a complete network and pointed out gaps she found. She addressed the pedestrian overlays and noted that the Northeast area of Alameda was lacking in these areas. Staff Member Wheeler clarified the areas that Commissioner Kohlstrand had recommended. She said that the gaps that were mentioned were filled, and said that all the information hadn't made it to the pedestrian map. Commissioner Kohlstrand asked Commissioner Hans to comment about the pathway through Lincoln Middle School that was often used in that the access was blocked by a locked gate. Commissioner Hans explained on the map where it should be opened and where it got locked. He further explained on the map the area that was secured and that it was an agreement with BCDC (Bay Conservation and Development Commission) and the school district. Chair Soules encouraged everyone to think about where commercial and industrial traffic would travel. Trucks bring in goods and services and for safety and other concerns they needed to accommodate commercial traffic. She also addressed the public comment about data slicing and how information is skewed to the individuals who have the luxury and time to send in public comments and fill out the surveys. She wanted to make sure the City understood who was answering, this is why equity and outreach were so important. She also stressed that staff be mindful that they don't become myopic, that they need to look at comprehensive solutions and find the best ways to deliver them. Staff Member Wheeler addressed the concern about data slicing, stating that from the beginning, with this project they had been trying to hear from the whole community. She spoke on the challenge of doing that but they had been reaching out to underrepresented groups such as those living at Alameda Point Collaborative, homeless individuals, high school students, and seniors. She spoke more on all of their outreach methods and what they were learning from their surveys.
