18621 | Board Member Burton asked if there are specific actions identified for the transportation awareness campaigns. The consultant said they are looking at using the TMA to help with that item. Board Member Burton asked what complete streets planning there is for Otis Dr. Staff Member Payne said they have been receiving lots of complaints from residents about high speeds on Otis and a need for traffic calming. She said they are considering a 4 to 3 road diet. Board Member Curtis asked where on Otis Dr. we are seeing 70mph speeds. Staff Member Payne said that they are seeing it between Westline and Grand. Board Member Curtis said he lives off of Otis and that between 6:30am and 7pm there is no way any car can get above 25 mph. Board Member Mitchell asked if the consultants are working with Bike Walk Alameda and received their correspondence. He suggested committing to working with them. The consultants said they received the letter just before the meeting. Board Member Sullivan said there are no transportation options for the ferry and no parking plans. She asked how they are going to increase ridership if that is the case. The consultant said that project #5 is a crosstown express bus service that would serve the ferry terminal. He said they are looking for funding to make it happen as soon as possible. He said WETA is working on access plans for both terminals and they want to support that. Staff Member Ott said they just added 100 parking spaces for Main St. and that the Seaplane Lagoon terminal will have 400 parking spaces. She said Harbor Bay is more complicated. She explained the multi faceted approach they are taking in trying to address the parking situation at Bay Farm. Board Member Sullivan asked how many Alamedans are using Uber to get to BART. The consultant said they do not know, but that it is increasing and the companies are creating new products to address price conscious commuters.
