Cross Alameda Trail Feasibility Study (continued from February 23, 2005 meeting) Chair Knox White noted that the proposed bike lanes on Clement Avenue are only five feet wide, yet the connecting bike lanes on Atlantic Avenue are six feet wide. He stated that the proposed travel lanes on Clement Avenue are 12 to14 feet wide. Chair Knox White noted that Caltrans requires lanes to be less than 12 feet wide on highways, and stated that the travel lanes on Clement Avenue could be narrower, even with the presence of a truck route. He recommended that the bike lanes be widened to six or seven feet in width along this corridor. Chair Knox White recommended that the proposed off-street paths include separate bicycle and pedestrian facilities since sufficient space appeared to be available. This should help avoid conflicts, as trail users would not have to compete for space as they currently do along the path adjacent to Shoreline Drive.

ROLL CALL Present: Commissioner Vargas, Commissioners Miley, Soules, Bertken, Hans, Palmer Absent: Chair Bellows 2. AGENDA CHANGES *None* 3. ANNOUNCEMENTS/PUBLIC COMMENT Jim Strehlow asked why there is a sign on High St. telling drivers headed to the Oakland Airport to turn around and use I-880. He says the neighbors think it sends a bad message and should be taken down. He said the street sweepers go too fast to clean up bird waste on the street. Kandice Lee raised concerns about the uncontrolled parking situation at the dirt lot near the Main St. ferry terminal. She said she was stuck four cars deep for hours because of the lack of organization and signage. She said there needs to be a temporary solution while we wait for long term plans. Staff Member Ott said that they did not realize that the issue at the dirt parking lot was as severe as it appears to be. She said staff is going to look for interim solutions to improve the situation. She said that the dirt lot is owned by the City. Commissioner Miley noted that the item was not on the agenda and that bringing it back at a future meeting would be helpful. He said he is worried about the liability issues that come with the lot. Commissioner Vargas suggested that the City cover Ms. Lee's costs relating to the incident. Commissioner Soules suggested that whatever plan is put in place be mindful of the temporary nature of the improvements and consider the appropriate level of investment given the potentially short life span. Commissioner Palmer asked how much parking would be available at the new terminal, and whether people are ever not able to find parking there. 1 | TransportationCommission/2018-07-25.pdf |

Proposed Commission Policy Recommendations to the City Council Regarding Criteria for the Evaluation of Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs) Chair Knox White asked if the background information presented at the June TC meeting should be included in the recommendations to the City Council. Commissioners Knoth and Krueger both indicated that they felt this was important to help the Council understand why the TC was forwarding these recommendations at this time. Staff Khan noted that staff has identified conflicts between the TC recommendations and the existing General Plan, so that adoption of the policies by the Council would have to be preceded by an environmental review. He recommended that this be integrated into the process for evaluating the Transportation Master Plan (TMP), rather than forwarding the recommendations separately. He also noted that number four on the list of policy recommendations is already included in the CEQA process. Chair Knox White stated that while the Alameda Landing EIR included bicycle and pedestrian facilities, it did not account for the impacts of the project on bicyclists and pedestrians outside the project area. Commissioner Krueger stated that the intent of the recommendations is as an interim measure until the TMP is approved. He emphasized that he has no interest in stopping or slowing projects, but is concerned about how projects are being implemented.

He said, originally in 2015, staff looked at reinstating the bus stops at Grand Street yet due to some operational difficulties staff moved this bus stop towards Minturn Street because of the truck route and emergency vehicle access. He explained that since the bus stop was moved away from Grand Street, staff had some difficulty in naming the time point. Consequently, the time point was moved to Buena Vista and Stanton and residents began complaining that the buses were dwelling too long. He further stated that AC Transit's ultimate goal would be to move the time point to Buena Vista and Entrance Road. Additionally, he hoped with the new commercial development planned at the intersection they would get a STOP control or some signalized intersection.

City of Alameda Ferry Program: Discussion of Senate Bill 976. Outcomes: Review SB 976 and receive public comment. Lisa Goldman, Deputy City Manager, provided background information on SB 976 (Ferry legislation), which was signed by Governor Schwarzenegger on Friday, October 12, and was passed in the last days of the legislative session in September. It replaced the current San Francisco Bay Area Water Transit Authority with a new agency known as the Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA). She noted that it would be charged with operating a comprehensive regional water transit system, and would coordinate the emergency activities of all water transportation and related facilities within the Bay Area. She noted that they will coordinate the Alameda/Oakland Ferry Service, the Harbor Bay Ferry Service and the Vallejo ferries under one agency. The Golden Gate Ferry would not be affected by this legislation. She noted that they would appoint a new five-member board for the WETA; the WTA currently has an 11-member board, including Mayor Johnson and the Mayor of Vallejo. The new board would include three appointees by the Governor, one from the Senate Rules Committee, and one from the Speaker of the Assembly. The new board would start meeting no later than April of next year, and would have until January of 2009 to develop a transition plan for running the ferry systems. They would have another six months to develop an emergency operations plan. Page 1 of 8 | TransportationCommission/2007-10-17.pdf |

Announcements / Public Comments Jim Strehlow, Alameda Resident, referred to the last Commission meeting and the presentation on the I-880 project. He exclaimed that the project manager's only goal was to move people into Alameda. However, his goal was to ask the Commission to search for funds to assist the overlooked needs of Alameda commuters. Thus, he requested that the Commission ask for a Traffic Study along the 23rd and 29th at Fruitvale Avenue and High Street intersections. He felt the Commission should request a formal traffic study to consider movements into and out of Alameda. If Alameda County Transportation Commission decides against it then the City should fund it for their own purposes. Ultimately, he would like this topic included as a future agenda item.

He then asked for a clarification as well regarding his comment before the motion on page 8.

He recalled that that comment was part of the motion but did not see it noted in the motion. He asked that the tape be reviewed. He inquired if anyone had any comments and clarified that this was on the bike bridge. His thoughts were that the water shuttle should be the primary area.

He added that he attended a Saturday afternoon Giants game, stayed in the City for dinner, and found that the ferry arrived at Alameda terminal at 10:15 p.m., and the bus left Alameda terminal at 10:14 p.m. He noted that four of nine ferry runs on weekends missed connections with AC Transit buses by one minute, and another bus arrives six minutes before the bus. He noted that the connections were very important to maintain multi-modalism, and that if the bus did not connect to the ferry, there was no point in running it into the parking lot. He would like to talk to AC Transit about those missed connections, and whether there was any flexibility in the ferry schedule. 1 | TransportationCommission/2008-09-24.pdf |
