TransportationCommission | 2021-05-26 | 13 | Commissioner Yuen had also thought about the VMT returning to almost 100 percent in parts of the Bay Area. She wondered what that meant for the future VMT for Alameda and how to keep it low. She saw transit as a way to do that and a way to alleviate fears with Covid measures. Public Comments for #6D Jim Strehlow said they completely ignored the Alameda Oakland Access project. This was a major project over the last 6-8 years. It will highly affect the multimodal travel patterns. He asked that they also identity Orion Street's endpoints. Commissioner Comments and Discussion #6D There were no other comments on this item. 7. Announcements / Public Comments Commissioner Kohlstrand discussed a recent story she heard on NPR about the potential removal of the I-980 Freeway in Downtown Oakland and that it was gaining some interest in moving that project ahead. She wanted to know if Alameda had been involved in that discussion, she believed it would be wise to do SO. Staff Member Wheeler said she had not heard that story but they could reach out to Oakland City Staff. Staff Member Payne agreed they could and should look into that. Jim Strehlow also discussed the potential closure of the I-980 Freeway in Oakland. He could not believe that was a good idea and was going backward. Chair Soules discussed the morning's tragedy at the Santa Clara VTA rail yard in San Jose. She sent her thoughts to the victim's families and everyone in the industry. 8. Adjournment Chair Soules adjourned the meeting at 9:40 p.m. Approved Transportation Minutes 13 May 26, 2021 | TransportationCommission/2021-05-26.pdf |
