Announcements/ Public Comments Walter Jacobs in Harbor Bay stated that he has a problem with a roundabout or a traffic signal at Island Drive and Mecartney Road. He prefers a flashing beacon. He has not seen a car crash here. He has a concern about this proposal. Jim Strehlow stated that he wants a status on the water taxi. The Fernside area HOA feels that Moreland Drive has more speeding due to the Slow Streets program on Versailles Street, and other adjacent streets to Slow Streets program has similar speeding problems. Michael Robles-Wong stated that he had served on the board of Harbor Bay but is speaking as a 25-year resident of Bay Farm Island. He agrees with Mr. Jacobs. A traffic guard was hit a few years ago at this Island/Mecartney intersection. There is a concern about how pedestrians will cross this street. Anthony Lewis stated that he is blind. Gail Payne had a meeting about a roundabout with the blind community because it is something new for the blind community. He recommended that a tactile map be created, and to have a mobility specialist assist with educating blind people how to use roundabouts. The Sherman/Encinal intersection is complicated even for people who can see. There are approximately 20 people in Alameda who are blind.
