TransportationCommission | 2021-10-27 | 9 | Staff Member Foster introduced the item and gave a presentation. The staff report and attachments can be found at https://alameda.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=5182989&GUID=FBA40E71-EB91- 45E6-B7B4-1F790A336070&FullText=1. Commissioner Clarifying Questions for #6D Chair Soules asked about parking enforcement at Harbor Bay Ferry and wanted to know if this would relieve APD and be more cost effective. Staff Member Foster answered yes and that more staffing would help. Enforcing parking time limits by hand was difficult. Public Comment for #6D Carmen Reid was concerned about having paid parking at Seaplane Lagoon and wanted it to be free to address equity issues. Carol Gottstein expressed concern for how ALPRs (Automated License Plate Readers) would look at the plates of cars that didn't have handicap plates but instead had a handicap placard in the window. Christy Cannon promoted the new bus line, #78, that would serve the Seaplane Lagoon. It would go from Fruitvale BART through Alameda to the Seaplane Lagoon. She also pointed out that having paid parking would be a major motivation to use that bus. Jim Strehlow felt that parking places were being reduced too much all over the island. He was also 100 percent against the use of ALPRs and wanted the police to continue to enforce parking rules. Commissioner Comments and Discussion for #6D Vice Chair Yuen endorsed the staff recommendation. She did want to focus on and tie in equity to make sure that low-income groups would not be disproportionally affected by parking fees or fines. She added that police focus should be on crime and that parking enforcement would not be the best use of their time. | TransportationCommission/2021-10-27.pdf |
