TransportationCommission | 2020-09-23 | 4 | Staff Member Wikstrom said yes and that was part of Site A Phase 2. Site A was having some challenges and they were not sure when Phase 2 would move forward. He discussed the Traffic Signal Policy and they were looking at how 2 Way cycle tracks function at major intersections. Commissioner Yuen asked about the reductions in AC Transit services and wanted to know if these changes would be temporary or permanent. She was concerned for essential workers who rely on public transit. She also wanted to know more about the reduction in Transbay crossing and if there was any possibility for Federal Aid for transit. Staff Member Payne said that since March AC Transit had reduced their services but when the SAH (Stay at Home) was lifted they increased their services. AC Transit was also putting out extra buses in some locations due to the limited capacity they were allowed to have on each bus. They were monitoring ridership in real-time. AC Transit was hoping to get some infusion of Federal Aid, they were looking at reducing their services next year. She discussed Alameda's plan to encourage and transfer people to the ferry since Alamada just got its 3rd ferry terminal and the Bus to BART plan to get into San Francisco. Commissioner Kohlstrand was curious if the sidewalk work at Alameda Point was being paid for by the developer or the city and if it was the developer she wanted to know what areas the city would focus its investments on. Staff Member Wikstrom said that most of the workaround Site A would be covered by the developer. He added that when Covid hit they focused most of their attention and funding on the residential and commercial slow streets and the restriping of Webster and Park. These had exhausted their funding and they would be going back to council in October to restore some funding. Public Comments for #6A (not related to the slow streets program) Jim Strehlow discussed how he already regularly rides his bike on Clement Ave as it is now. He believed that the plan outlined for Clement was very dangerous and put cyclists too close to vehicular traffic. He stated that he would continue to ride in the vehicular lane instead of the planned painted bike lane that would go against traffic. Staff Member Payne explained how the SLMs or sharrows worked and that it was perfectly fine to share a lane.
