TransportationCommission | 2020-09-23 | 9 | Chair Soules thought that it was great that this was all pre covid data since it created a baseline. She also commended the decision to incentivize the survey, she believed this was really the best way to get an actionable equity program. She was curious to know how e-bikes and new bike paths would affect mode shift and how they were reaching out to people who may not think they could afford an e-bike app. Staff Member Wheeler said that they did ask questions about e-bikes and ownership of e-bikes. This was also part of the Climate Action Plan, so they did have data on that. Ms. LaBatt added they learned through the survey that about 10% of people surveyed said that they have an e-bike or a scooter-share membership. Chair Soules thanked Ms. LaBatt for her presentations and for breaking down the information in a very easy-to-understand way. Commissioner Weitze wanted to know how many of the 32% of residents using active transport to get off the island and how many were West End Alameda residents. Ms. LaBatt said that number did include West Enders getting off the island but did not know how much of the 32% was from them. Public Comments for #6B. Jim Strehlow referred to page 2 of the presentation. He found the presentation wording by Sara LaBatt to be wonderfully clarifying but the verbiage was not printed. He found certain parts of the presentation to be initially misleading since tens of thousands of residents were not part of the survey. He gave examples of better wording that would be more adequate. He also believed that certain surveys were accepted and others rejected based on their own undocumented bias. Commissioner Comments and Discussions for #6B Commissioner Kohlstrand found the amount of data to be very helpful as they move forward on the Active Transportation Plan. She wanted to know if there was going to be an opportunity to discuss the issues over cost and prioritization into the survey as it was presented to the public. She gave an example of her past work when people were excited about a project until the price for the project was announced, then people were no longer excited for said project. She also stressed the need to connect safety data with the survey results as well as looking at this through the lens of cost-effectiveness.
