18557 | outreach. Public outreach would start late this year or early next year and she then laid out the phases and what that entailed. This was a major effort and they would be applying for grant funding to complete and construct. She also explained what information they look for and gather during the evaluation. Chair Soules asked with the investment in bike infrastructure, were they collecting data on bike counts. Had they been doing surveys, travel diaries, or counts in mode shift? Staff Member Wheeler answered that they had done a statistically significant survey asking about mode choice. She did acknowledge that a travel diary would be the best survey and they could do those in the future. She also pointed out the bike counter on the Cross Alameda Trail but due to the pandemic, those numbers aren't a true reflection. She discussed other surveys and numbers they had been looking at for future comparisons. Staff Member Payne added that working on better data collection with new technologies was something they would be working on as part of the Smart City Master Plan effort. Chair Soules discussed how data collected intersected with their equity issues. She wanted to see if there was actual uptake in what they were offering as the transportation options to a larger population. Staff Member Wheeler discussed how the statistically significant surveys would consider the population diversity. She also added that after projects were done they collected data as well. Public Comments for #6C Jill Staten discussed how important before and after data was, you needed to have good baseline data. She did not believe that survey data was good data, what really mattered was the observational data. She encouraged more observational data and fewer survey data. Jim Strehlow wanted more clarification on where the work on Orion Street would take place. He also had concerns about safety on the new bike lane on Clement. He also wanted an update on when the Oakland/Alameda Access Project would begin. He also agreed with the previous speaker about having fewer survey data, he considered them hearsay and could be easily manipulated. He also pointed out that there was no chat window available for the meeting. TC Minutes 8 9/22/21 |
