TransportationCommission | 2021-07-28 | 8 | Chair Soules asked for clarification on what would happen over the proposed two years. Staff Member Wheeler explained that over the next year the staff would monitor and make tweaks on parking and work on design guidelines for the parklets. Then over the next year, they would finish out the Active Transportation Plan, Vision Zero Plan, and their planning. Andrew Thomas, Director of Planning Building and Transportation, added that the two years would allow the staff and the community to better understand the final design that Park and Webster St should be. He discussed the items that had come up during this meeting only that needed to be addressed sooner rather than later. Chair Soules appreciated his comments but her concerns were based on the people who wanted the four lanes back. She wanted to acknowledge and recognize the voices who did not like the changes. The planning process that is traditionally used would allow more public outreach. She did not want to just serve half of the community. She also wanted to know the demographics of the survey results to make sure a group of people was not being left out, and thought that would be fairer. Director Thomas agreed. Chair Soules made a motion to accept and approve all staff's recommendations for the Commercial Streets Program and Commissioner Weitze seconded the motion. A vote was taken by a raise of hands and the motion passed 6-0. 6C. Recommend Approval of Draft Amendments to Alameda Municipal Code Section 30-7 Off-Street Parking and Loading Space Regulations to improve environmental quality in Alameda and implement the City of Alameda Climate Action and Resiliency Plan and Transportation Choices Plan (Action Item). Brian McGuire, Planner with Planning Building and Transportation, introduced the item and gave the presentation.
