TransportationCommission | 2021-11-17 | 6 | Mr. Huynh added that the plan for all the fiber optic cables was to put them underground. Commissioner Kohlstrand wanted to see a policy that showed they were working toward undergrounding all wires in the city. Chair Soules also wanted to see a more documented policy on undergrounding all utilities in Alameda. She believed for the unhoused, cell phones were lifelines and cell phone dependence skews towards less education levels and equity priority communities so it is important to have public wifi, especially due to lack of an address. Data plans also are expensive so it is important. She discussed the importance of establishing the relationship between the ISP (Internet Service Provider) - owning the asset and leasing it out is better so as to leverage the investment for the long term. She did not want to turn over to the private sector and wanted the city to retain those rights. She then discussed how deliberate policies could help with cyber security with how this data was used. She did not want to see a misuse of data. 7. Announcements / Public Comments Chair Soules reminded everyone to be safe out there with the sun setting earlier and encouraged everyone to check out a reflective vest. She also wished everyone Happy Holidays since this was the last Transportation Commission Meeting of the year. 8. Adjournment Chair Soules adjourned the meeting at 8:30 p.m. | TransportationCommission/2021-11-17.pdf |
