TransportationCommission | 2020-07-22 | 11 | Commissioner clarifying questions and comments #6C (Priorities) Staff Member Wheeler said right now they are taking the opportunity to focus on high-level input from the community on priorities. She added that the goal now was checking in with the general public on it. Ms. Wooley-Ousdahl said that was correct and that the next phase would be to prioritize the projects. They wanted to give people the opportunity to weigh in from the beginning. Commissioner Weitze wanted to know about maintenance and the pedestrian infrastructure and if it would be considered in the context of slow streets that had been implemented and if it would be considered with current infrastructure or a separate category. Staff Member Wheeler explained that maintenance with current infrastructure was just barricading on the slow streets. As of now, not much maintenance was needed. Commissioner Weitze clarified his question. Is maintaining the current slow streets a concept within Alameda? Should we keep the streets as they are now and expand them? Staff Member Wheeler said yes, they could see that as a program to potentially keep slow streets or to turn them into bike boulevards. It could be an evolution of the project. Chair Soules encouraged everyone to tell friends and family about the surveys, and that there was an open house next Wednesday. 7. Announcements / Public Comments Jim Strehlow wanted the maps to educate the public about the beautiful views of Alameda from Oakland with beautiful walking and biking paths that are public. He urged to keep bicycle enhancements on potential bike boulevards and side streets, not Lincoln Avenue, Webster Street, Central Avenue or Park Street, which are transit routes. He pleaded to make the plan a multi-modal plan. 8. Adjournment Chair Soules adjourned the meeting at 9:31 p.m. Approved Minutes - Transportation Commission July 22, 2020 11 | TransportationCommission/2020-07-22.pdf |
