TransportationCommission | 2021-10-27 | 4 | Staff Member Foster addressed the car racing concerns, and said that the commission could direct them to add actions specific to car racing. She discussed that it was a data-based map and that she would double check the data. Chair Soules discussed how the data had been collected and that it was dependent on the public input. She wanted to know if that was a fair assessment. Staff Member Foster said that along with police reports for data they also were using See Click Fix. Since some people did not file police reports, they looked at other ways of collecting data. Vice Chair Yuen recommended double-checking the data and how the high injury corridors were identified. She also wanted to see a separate map of the near misses. Commissioner Alysha Nachtigall discussed her experience of living on Buena Vista and which areas needed attention. Commissioner Weitze discussed improvements planned for city vehicles and felt that would require a lot of money with not much gain. He also felt that "alcohol adjacent areas" should also be included in the section about collisions. He wanted to see Alameda Police be on board and supportive of automatic speed readers and felt that staff had done a great job with outreach. Commissioner Nachtigall thanked staff and everyone involved for their hard work on this plan. She was happy to see that equity had been included when discussing traffic safety and supported the time frame being reduced by five years. She looked forward to seeing the emphasis on education and the potential Infrastructure Rapid Response Program. Chair Soules supported this bold and aggressive target to try to reach. She believed that design leveled the playing field and technology was a worthwhile investment, which would have long- term impacts. She also believed that data integrity was important because of environmental justice and would skew against disadvantaged communities. Vice Chair Yuen thanked staff for their leadership on this great plan. She was excited to see the plan's implementation to make Alameda safer. Vice Chair Yuen made a motion to endorse the Vision Zero Plan for City Council to adopt with the amendments stated for speeding/racing, for focusing on enforcement near establishments that serve alcohol, and the recommendation that the High-Injury Corridor Map be checked for accuracy. Commissioner Weitze seconded the motion. A vote was taken by a raise of hands and the motion passed 6-0. | TransportationCommission/2021-10-27.pdf |
