18542 | Jon Spangler, Alameda resident and a League of American Cycling Instructor, reported on a meeting that he had with Michael Noonan, Alameda Police Chief and Captain Paul Rolleri about extending the reach of bicycle and motorist safety education within the City. His objective is to put together a team made up of East Bay Bicycle Coalition and Bike Alameda members as well as Alameda Public Works and Police Department. The team would develop proposals to sell to other agencies and community service organizations in Alameda and they would attempt to raise up to $50,000 to conduct school outreach and motorist safety education. Mr. Spangler asked the Commission to provide comments as he moved along with the process. Commissioner Moehring asked Mr. Spangler if he spoke with local bicycle shops to get more participation. Jon Spangler stated that he will be in touch with the local business owners, but he would mainly like to receive input from the Commissioners. 4. New Business 4A. Draft TSM/TDM Plan Staff Khan summarized the background and introduced David Reinke. David Reinke, Associate Planner at Kittelson and Associates, summarized the draft report and highlighted key findings from last month's presentation made by his colleague, Cliff Chambers. Commissioner Bertken asked when talking about applicable vehicle trip reductions Mr. Reinke has a statement at the end of the paragraph, which says that achieving vehicle trip reduction rates above 10 percent by project sponsor will require public sector support to be considered during the development and approval process. He asked if the City would not expect anything more than a 10 percent reduction for non-major development type projects. David Reinke replied that national reports consider a 10 percent reduction to be realistic under the given circumstances. Commissioner Moehring and Commissioner Bertken applauded the draft TSM/TDM report stating that it is excellent. Commissioner Moehring stated although we would like a 25 percent reduction, it is realistic to have a reduction of 10-15 percent, especially in this environment. Staff Khan asked the commissioners to take an action to recommend the draft TSM/TDM Plan and if the commissioners have any comments or suggestions, they can make it part of the action item. He also requested, if applicable, that commissioners include comments or suggestions as part of the action items going forward. He stated that the draft TSM/TDM Plan will then go to the Planning Board for approval and then may go to the City Council. Page 2 of 5 |
