Chair Soules thanked the staff for their excellent presentation. Public Comments for #6C Recorded comment - Jim Strehlow addressed that it was wrong to summarize that 80% of the residents in Alameda wanted more biking and walking unless there were over 70,000 results in the survey. He found the percentages presented to be wrong, offensive, and misleading to the public. He urged that Lincoln Avenue should be for trucks since there were already other streets designated for bikes. He wanted no bicycle enhancements on Lincoln Avenue and said that bicyclists already use Lincoln Avenue as it is at their own risk. Commissioner clarifying questions and comments #6C (Goals and Visions) Commissioner Weitze asked if intra-island car trips and getting off-the-island car trips were included in the goals. Staff Member Wheeler said that was not directly incorporated into the mode shift goal, it's seen as a subset of it. It could be made into an action item under the goal of increasing walking and biking trips off the island.
