1
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:03,240
yes I will just I'll just comment we did

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,259
go through this in quite detail at APC

3
00:00:06,259 --> 00:00:10,440
and uh thank Brian for as usual his very

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,200
diligent and very thorough uh budget

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,360
report so we did ask quite a lot of

6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,100
questions then and

7
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:19,920
answers all satisfactory so

8
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,199
um I'll be happy at the time to move the

9
00:00:22,199 --> 00:00:24,439
item okay

10
00:00:24,439 --> 00:00:28,680
commissioner enrich I I was just to Echo

11
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,859
of that being on APC and what Brian was

12
00:00:31,859 --> 00:00:33,000
explaining

13
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,700
um you know we all caught that we're not

14
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:36,960
spending money on the call to cut a

15
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,520
tunnel but it's because of our

16
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,340
allocation for me of how we assign costs

17
00:00:41,340 --> 00:00:43,739
and things like that so it's not going

18
00:00:43,739 --> 00:00:45,480
call the cut tunnel

19
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:49,680
um that project is done and over this is

20
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,420
really complex if you're if you're here

21
00:00:51,420 --> 00:00:53,760
for the first time none of us have a

22
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,739
budget like this and the reason why is

23
00:00:55,739 --> 00:00:57,420
if you really want to look at year over

24
00:00:57,420 --> 00:00:59,219
year you just look at our staff

25
00:00:59,219 --> 00:01:01,800
Administration cost everything else is

26
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,840
Project driven there's lots of projects

27
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:05,880
those costs go up and they're all

28
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,500
proportional and they all have a source

29
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:08,580
of funding

30
00:01:08,580 --> 00:01:11,280
our biggest key factor is staying for

31
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,860
all that Administration essentially our

32
00:01:13,860 --> 00:01:15,960
own operating cost although some of our

33
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:17,939
staff are also assigned to outside

34
00:01:17,939 --> 00:01:19,680
projects because they're working on the

35
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,600
project but we have that one percent

36
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,420
limitation and we were right around the

37
00:01:24,420 --> 00:01:27,600
0.83 so I think we'll add to second that

38
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,979
and thank Brian and staff for modifying

39
00:01:31,979 --> 00:01:33,479
your presentation for the comments that

40
00:01:33,479 --> 00:01:35,579
we had too thank you okay member

41
00:01:35,579 --> 00:01:38,100
Fidelity yes

42
00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:40,079
um great job I was just wondering on the

43
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:42,780
state revenue side if in fact the

44
00:01:42,780 --> 00:01:44,280
governor signs the budget with the

45
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:45,720
transit deal

46
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,060
in it might there be additional revenues

47
00:01:48,060 --> 00:01:51,420
that come in any way shape or form

48
00:01:51,420 --> 00:01:53,460
yeah there was there was

49
00:01:53,460 --> 00:01:56,040
um a comment Hisham had come to my

50
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,720
office earlier this earlier this

51
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,939
afternoon and talked about maybe Sunday

52
00:01:59,939 --> 00:02:03,000
I think there was the I-80 project San

53
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,840
Pablo Dam I believe might be in that we

54
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,940
would go out and do an RFP on that so it

55
00:02:08,940 --> 00:02:10,440
would be a time frame of maybe six

56
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,959
months and and we will add that at the

57
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:15,060
mid-year so we'll we'll make sure that

58
00:02:15,060 --> 00:02:15,900
we

59
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:17,580
keep an eye out for those additional

60
00:02:17,580 --> 00:02:19,620
revenues and with any other project that

61
00:02:19,620 --> 00:02:22,020
comes along the lines we'll we'll budget

62
00:02:22,020 --> 00:02:25,560

from 21 to 23. this item is brought

124
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,419
forth today to consider a further

125
00:05:15,419 --> 00:05:19,320
revision to remove the 3.5 CPI cap

126
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,900
Consumer Price Index adjust the salary

00:05:21,900 --> 00:05:25,259
ranges by 4.9 per percent for inflation

128
00:05:25,259 --> 00:05:27,240
by the average 12-month December ended

129
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,419
percent change in the CPI add one FTE

130
00:05:30,419 --> 00:05:32,280
position to the associate engineer

131
00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:35,100
classification add one FD position to

the senior engineer classification and

133
00:05:37,380 --> 00:05:39,840
this will result in an increase of FTE

134
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:43,080
positions from 23 to 25 for this fiscal

135
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,660
upcoming fiscal year further it

136
00:05:45,660 --> 00:05:47,639
recognizes Juneteenth as a holiday and

137
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:49,500
reassigns the floating holiday in

138
00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:53,160
February that is the holiday that is for

139
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,800
Washington and Lincoln's birthday we

140
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,060
still have the president's holiday and

141
00:05:57,060 --> 00:05:58,199
that will be reassigned to the

142
00:05:58,199 --> 00:06:00,060
Juneteenth holiday as a result of

143
00:06:00,060 --> 00:06:02,340
assembly bill 1655.

144
00:06:02,340 --> 00:06:04,320
we're doing a change to the bereavement

145
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,180
leave from three to five days and this

146
00:06:06,180 --> 00:06:09,660
was a result of a b assembly Bill 1949

147
00:06:09,660 --> 00:06:11,639
and there's other administrative changes

148
00:06:11,639 --> 00:06:13,259
such as adding a Mill and rest period

149
00:06:13,259 --> 00:06:15,419
for all non-exempt employees and then

150
00:06:15,419 --> 00:06:17,520
updating the authority stipend from 65

151
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:18,900
to 100 dollars

152
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:20,880
these revisions align with the authority

153
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,680
of being an employer of choice we have a

154
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,319
high performing team of 20 people

155
00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:27,419
eventually here will be 25. these

156
00:06:27,419 --> 00:06:29,160
changes are approved annually by the

157
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,020
board as part of those approvals the

158
00:06:31,020 --> 00:06:32,819
board makes the decision annually on the

159
00:06:32,819 --> 00:06:35,699
CPI increases for staff so to be clear

160
00:06:35,699 --> 00:06:37,620
regardless of what the CPI is in

161
00:06:37,620 --> 00:06:39,360
December the board will still make the

162
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,120
decision on an annual basis basis as to

163
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,340
what percentage staff will receive

164
00:06:44,340 --> 00:06:46,319
the proposed changes to salaries and

165
00:06:46,319 --> 00:06:48,300
benefits are included in the fiscal year

166
00:06:48,300 --> 00:06:50,520
budget it will account for 19 field

167
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,160
positions and six unfilled positions for

168
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,039
a total cost of 6.5 million which has

169
00:06:56,039 --> 00:07:00,300
increased the budget by 478 388 by

170
00:07:00,300 --> 00:07:02,340
adding the two new positions

171
00:07:02,340 --> 00:07:04,020
the new positions will be funded by

172
00:07:04,020 --> 00:07:06,419
grants and Regional funds like our like

173
00:07:06,419 --> 00:07:08,460
Regional Measure 3 we will remain under

174
00:07:08,460 --> 00:07:10,620
the one percent administrative cap and

175
00:07:10,620 --> 00:07:13,020
we have no unfunded liability these

176
00:07:13,020 --> 00:07:14,819
positions will be funded by projects and

177
00:07:14,819 --> 00:07:16,680
will have minimal increases to the cost

178
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,319
under the one percent administrative cap

179
00:07:19,319 --> 00:07:21,360
adding these positions will support the

180
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,340
projects Department with additional

181
00:07:23,340 --> 00:07:25,620

the compensation plan that concludes my

211
00:08:30,060 --> 00:08:31,379
presentation I'll answer any questions

212
00:08:31,379 --> 00:08:33,839
that you may have thank you thank you

213
00:08:33,839 --> 00:08:35,479
Terry

214
00:08:35,479 --> 00:08:38,520
First Look to our boards see if there's

215
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,889
any comments or questions

216
00:08:41,899 --> 00:08:44,700
I just made comment that again this was

217
00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:46,640
at ABC

218
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,380
and just again historically there was

219
00:08:49,380 --> 00:08:51,660
this cap that some we thought we were

220
00:08:51,660 --> 00:08:54,600
wise in the past this agency doesn't do

221
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:55,620
colos

222
00:08:55,620 --> 00:08:57,660
right most of the other agencies the

223
00:08:57,660 --> 00:09:00,060
county it's automatic this is a year by

224
00:09:00,060 --> 00:09:02,580
year basis obviously in the last year

225
00:09:02,580 --> 00:09:04,440
was a unique year

226
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,080
and we wanted to have the board

227
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,260
consciously make the decision it also in

228
00:09:10,260 --> 00:09:12,600
years of very low it creates a false

229
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,580
expectation that well oh it says three

230
00:09:14,580 --> 00:09:17,160
and a half so this way it's up to us to

231
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,140
make that decision each year and I'd be

232
00:09:19,140 --> 00:09:21,240
glad to make a recommendation to move

233
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,000
this forward and the two positions are

234
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,000
really needed we have so much on our

235
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,760
plate and the everything we're doing on

236
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,220
on 680 and even what now we might be

237
00:09:32,220 --> 00:09:35,160
back on 80 for the next round

238
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,620
staff needs to help and and the fact is

239
00:09:37,620 --> 00:09:40,500
the financial plan is solid it's Project

240
00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:42,120
based so

241
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,000
yeah it's uh great when we as Project

242
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,399

construction

297
00:12:11,100 --> 00:12:13,920
and these three items that I'm going to

298
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,260
talk about are all action items

299
00:12:16,260 --> 00:12:19,200
but before

300
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,920
I do that I wanted to give you a little

301
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,600
a brief update of where the project is

302
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,399
right now when I came over here a couple

303
00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:29,160
of months ago to talk about this project

304
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,740
even update it's progress was kind of

305
00:12:31,740 --> 00:12:33,959
limited there was a lot of issues that

306
00:12:33,959 --> 00:12:35,640
related to construction they're going to

307
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,079
talk about actually I gave you a

308
00:12:37,079 --> 00:12:40,560
presentation about at that time but

309
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:43,079
since then given that the weather has

310
00:12:43,079 --> 00:12:45,000
cleared up for us and a lot of the

311
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,700
issues have been put behind behind us

312
00:12:47,700 --> 00:12:50,399
with the contractor progress has been uh

313
00:12:50,399 --> 00:12:53,220
actually remarkable and I just wanted to

314
00:12:53,220 --> 00:12:54,779
give you a couple of pictures that you

315
00:12:54,779 --> 00:12:56,279
might

316
00:12:56,279 --> 00:12:57,839
um so you can see by yourself so

317
00:12:57,839 --> 00:13:00,360
everything that you see there that is

318
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,160
white that's concrete the contractor

319
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,200
went ahead in the last couple of months

320
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,200
uh form and poor what we call this the

321
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,300
stem and soffit and then on top of that

322
00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:12,480
they went ahead and poured the deck so

323
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,060
progress is is very good I know some of

324
00:13:15,060 --> 00:13:17,100
you if not all of you get a notice that

325
00:13:17,100 --> 00:13:18,500
we're going to be closing Highway four

326
00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:21,480
and uh that's actually a safety measure

327
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,579
the contractors doing they don't

328
00:13:23,579 --> 00:13:25,019
necessarily have to close it but when

329
00:13:25,019 --> 00:13:26,760
they're going to pour concrete did you

330
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,260
say let's let us shut the freeway down

331
00:13:28,260 --> 00:13:29,940
and let's do it in the safest way

332
00:13:29,940 --> 00:13:33,540
possible and as you can see I I

333
00:13:33,540 --> 00:13:35,519
mentioned briefly last time about the

334
00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:37,260
challenges coming up ahead and I talked

335
00:13:37,260 --> 00:13:40,139
to you about that kind of like a hairpin

336
00:13:40,139 --> 00:13:42,300
turn that they that we have to achieve

337
00:13:42,300 --> 00:13:45,600
where it has a lot of tolerances in both

338
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,639
slopes going down and sideways in the

339
00:13:47,639 --> 00:13:50,820
contractor is actually working on that

340
00:13:50,820 --> 00:13:52,200
right now it Still Remains a challenge

341
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:53,940
but they're making progress

342
00:13:53,940 --> 00:13:57,779
and I just want to say that you know

343
00:13:57,779 --> 00:13:59,220
we're working very well with the

344
00:13:59,220 --> 00:14:01,079
contractor now they're advancing the

345
00:14:01,079 --> 00:14:03,120
project they're keeping a safe

346
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,079
environment and a clean site

347
00:14:06,079 --> 00:14:09,600
so we are we have turned appears that we

348
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,579
have turned the corner as far as this

349
00:14:11,579 --> 00:14:14,579
project is concerned so with that I'm

350
00:14:14,579 --> 00:14:16,440
going to talk about the first action

351
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,320
item where we

352
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,740
assuming remember there was a little no

353
00:14:22,740 --> 00:14:24,420
Prejudice they originally funded the

354
00:14:24,420 --> 00:14:26,880
project by 11 million dollars and when I

355
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,220
came to you last time we knew we were

356
00:14:29,220 --> 00:14:30,480
going to need additional money to finish

357
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,899
the project and we requested authority

358
00:14:32,899 --> 00:14:36,180
to get an additional two million dollars

359
00:14:36,180 --> 00:14:39,300
of letter not Prejudice from MTC we went

360
00:14:39,300 --> 00:14:41,279
ahead and proceeded with that and they

361
00:14:41,279 --> 00:14:44,399
actually gave us the two million dollars

362
00:14:44,399 --> 00:14:46,740
so that that occurred last month there

363
00:14:46,740 --> 00:14:48,000
was an action that it took like this

364
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,639
month so with that we're coming back to

365
00:14:50,639 --> 00:14:53,459
you to today and asking you to increase

366
00:14:53,459 --> 00:14:55,740
the construction allotment of the

367
00:14:55,740 --> 00:15:02,519
project to 10 202 000 270 originally the

368
00:15:02,519 --> 00:15:05,279
allotment that you approved

369
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:08,420
was 8 million 626

370
00:15:08,420 --> 00:15:11,519
589 in 23 cents

371
00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:13,740
so um

372
00:15:13,740 --> 00:15:15,000
so that's the action that we're

373
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,320
requesting that you approve the

374
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,600
construction alignment increase

375
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,940
thank you Ivan and it's great to see

376
00:15:20,940 --> 00:15:21,959

00:15:30,180 --> 00:15:32,240
and just make a clarification

381
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,680
just so it's really clear

382
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,040
we already sought for 2 million so the

383
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,740
MTC gave us that so the

384
00:15:39,740 --> 00:15:42,600
1.57 is out of that 2 million that we

385
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,240
already did because we anticipated that

386
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,470
that's it thank you

387
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,760

okay thank you we'll go to the second

412
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,319
item which is a request to approve the

413
00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:07,679
change order for the project Ivan please

414
00:17:07,679 --> 00:17:09,360
present

415
00:17:09,360 --> 00:17:12,120
I thank you chair uh you some of you

416
00:17:12,120 --> 00:17:13,860
might remember the projects that we

417
00:17:13,860 --> 00:17:15,959
encountered included a bird nesting to

418
00:17:15,959 --> 00:17:18,679
get in the way of work included some

419
00:17:18,679 --> 00:17:20,520
constructionist mess because the farmer

420
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,020
went ahead and formed the garlic and

421
00:17:22,020 --> 00:17:24,839
they got wet we also had a issue with

422
00:17:24,839 --> 00:17:26,220
conference getting the link losses

423
00:17:26,220 --> 00:17:28,260
approved and more importantly than that

424
00:17:28,260 --> 00:17:29,580
we had an issue with the actual

425
00:17:29,580 --> 00:17:31,500
structure that really cost us a lot of

426
00:17:31,500 --> 00:17:34,140
pain to get over so in we got together

427
00:17:34,140 --> 00:17:35,580
with the contractor we knew we had

428
00:17:35,580 --> 00:17:37,440
exposure we knew we had that we're

429
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,480
incurring additional costs for newer

430
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,140
Runway High schedule so we were able to

431
00:17:42,140 --> 00:17:45,600
negotiate a change over 19 with a

432
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,720
contractor for one million 575

433
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,860
000 681 dollars as you say sorry and

434
00:17:52,860 --> 00:17:53,820
um

435
00:17:53,820 --> 00:17:57,840
the the this you know overall I think I

436
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,460
think this is the right move to get this

437
00:17:59,460 --> 00:18:01,679
changer approved since since we're going

438
00:18:01,679 --> 00:18:03,000
to be paying I think the contract was

439
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,460
going to be May hold again and that's

440
00:18:05,460 --> 00:18:07,140
what we strive to do here to pay the

441
00:18:07,140 --> 00:18:10,260
contractor where we owe them so uh the

442
00:18:10,260 --> 00:18:11,940
amount that we're requesting is exactly

443
00:18:11,940 --> 00:18:13,620
the amount that we're asking for that we

444
00:18:13,620 --> 00:18:15,059
just approved for the construction allow

445
00:18:15,059 --> 00:18:17,460
me so the increasing the allotment that

446
00:18:17,460 --> 00:18:19,080
you just approved was directly to pay

447
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,600
the contractor for this change order so

448
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,160
with that um

449
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,220
the staff report has a summary of the

450
00:18:26,220 --> 00:18:27,780
breakdown of the costs

451
00:18:27,780 --> 00:18:29,760
and so you have an idea how we came up

452
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:30,840
with this cost

453
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,940
and uh so with that I'll be happy to

454
00:18:32,940 --> 00:18:35,340
answer any questions

455
00:18:35,340 --> 00:18:37,320

request to approve an amendment for

479
00:19:37,740 --> 00:19:39,539
additional program and project

480
00:19:39,539 --> 00:19:43,200
management service for the project Ivan

481
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,039
will be present thank you chair so uh we

482
00:19:47,039 --> 00:19:49,140
we hire goal management and Engineering

483
00:19:49,140 --> 00:19:50,700
to help us manage the project do with

484
00:19:50,700 --> 00:19:51,840
the construction management and

485
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,299
inspection and given the number of

486
00:19:54,299 --> 00:19:56,280
issues that we have encounter and a lot

487
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:57,179
of

488
00:19:57,179 --> 00:19:58,740
back and forth with the contractor

489
00:19:58,740 --> 00:20:00,419
regarding submaros request for

490
00:20:00,419 --> 00:20:02,600
information schedules

491
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,520
it has increased their cost

492
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,440
in addition to that there's more

493
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:08,940
overtime in addition to that we have

494
00:20:08,940 --> 00:20:11,640
increased the length of the project so

495
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,799
all of that has also increased their

496
00:20:13,799 --> 00:20:16,340
cost to get this project to completion

497
00:20:16,340 --> 00:20:19,740
and we're asking the board to approve an

498
00:20:19,740 --> 00:20:21,059
amendment with home management

499
00:20:21,059 --> 00:20:24,480
engineering for an amount an increased

500
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,400
amount of 897

501
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,000
000 30.72 cents for a new Total

502
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,280
agreement value of 5 million 346.

503
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,320
912.90 so with that I'll be happy to

504
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,000
answer any questions

505
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,480
okay thank you uh board member comments

506
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:46,080
the vice chair yes Ivan um this is I'm

507
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,660
fine with this but behind this um there

508
00:20:48,660 --> 00:20:51,299
were design errors on this so recall

509
00:20:51,299 --> 00:20:52,559
particularly on the three-dimensional

510
00:20:52,559 --> 00:20:54,780
curvature they had all the elevations

511
00:20:54,780 --> 00:20:57,720
wrong it got missed so do we expect to

512
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,880
see something come back um

513
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:03,840
on claim um for that do we expect some

514
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,780
resolution compensation or how is that

515
00:21:06,780 --> 00:21:08,460
going to work out

516
00:21:08,460 --> 00:21:10,980
the commissioner we have the the

517
00:21:10,980 --> 00:21:12,840
executive director and I have had

518
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,080
discussions for the designer about the

519
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,380
issues that we have encounter I think

520
00:21:19,380 --> 00:21:21,360
I'm gonna let the secret director talk

521
00:21:21,360 --> 00:21:22,860
to it but I think they have acknowledged

522
00:21:22,860 --> 00:21:24,539
some responsibility

523
00:21:24,539 --> 00:21:27,840
so as we begin to close this project out

524
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,760
we're going to be continuing those

525
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,280
conversations with the designer see if

526
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,860
we can get some way to compensate us for

527
00:21:34,860 --> 00:21:36,419
the additional cost because you're

528
00:21:36,419 --> 00:21:37,919
absolutely right especially that deck

529
00:21:37,919 --> 00:21:39,419
that's the most costly one that we have

530
00:21:39,419 --> 00:21:42,659
all the issues and that's directly

531
00:21:42,659 --> 00:21:45,000
attributable designer right and the way

532
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,860
it works I mean just to be clear

533
00:21:46,860 --> 00:21:49,080
that if um if you're trying to figure

534
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:50,880
out what the cost difference is if you

535
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,620
designed it correctly

536
00:21:52,620 --> 00:21:54,600
there's no extra cost they can design it

537
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,120
incorrectly and there's extra cost it's

538
00:21:57,120 --> 00:21:59,280
pretty clear what that difference is

539
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,559
so while it's a small project the

540
00:22:01,559 --> 00:22:03,600
implication on this for their design fee

541
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,640
it's actually pretty substantial as a

542
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,760
percentage so you know it's the cost of

543
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,120
doing business but in the the technology

544
00:22:12,120 --> 00:22:15,419
that we have and the computer generation

545
00:22:15,419 --> 00:22:18,299
they didn't do this in 3D them or

546
00:22:18,299 --> 00:22:20,700
anything because this can't happen in

547
00:22:20,700 --> 00:22:21,900
that system

548
00:22:21,900 --> 00:22:24,240
so um you know maybe it's something for

549
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,580
us to require a little bit higher

550
00:22:26,580 --> 00:22:28,260
standard

551
00:22:28,260 --> 00:22:29,700
um in since they're doing all

552
00:22:29,700 --> 00:22:31,860
computer-aid computer-aided drafting

553
00:22:31,860 --> 00:22:34,860
Design Systems those systems alone would

554
00:22:34,860 --> 00:22:36,539
prevent this if it was done as a 3D

555
00:22:36,539 --> 00:22:37,620
modeling

556
00:22:37,620 --> 00:22:39,240
so I would hope that maybe in the future

557
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,020
we can take this lesson apply it but um

558
00:22:43,020 --> 00:22:45,419
you know I hope to see this come back to

559
00:22:45,419 --> 00:22:47,460
us and see what resolution we'll have so

560
00:22:47,460 --> 00:22:48,840
thank you

561
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,880

00:22:53,460 --> 00:22:54,659
the work is currently on the design

564
00:22:54,659 --> 00:22:56,460
there I think I mentioned also that in

565
00:22:56,460 --> 00:22:58,620
that April we're actually going to come

566
00:22:58,620 --> 00:23:00,559
back to you and ask for additional

567
00:23:00,559 --> 00:23:02,880
budget because we're implementing bam

568
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,280
and and Bim is you know you spend money

569
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:06,960
up front it's a great investment up

570
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,240
front but hopefully like commission

571
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,240
honors was saying you you kind of

572
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,640
minimize uh any impacts in the field

573
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:15,960
because you're able to catch a lot of

574
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,760
things up front so we're actually

575
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,260
working on that right now for our future

576
00:23:19,260 --> 00:23:22,260
projects it's part of the qap that we

577
00:23:22,260 --> 00:23:25,080
you approved a couple years ago or so so

578
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,960
we're very much focused on specifically

579
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,580
avoiding these kind of issues in the

580
00:23:29,580 --> 00:23:30,240
future

581
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,960

in the chamber if there's any comments

585
00:23:44,100 --> 00:23:49,549
seeing that do we have any remote

586
00:23:49,559 --> 00:23:52,919
no public comment written or verbal

587
00:23:52,919 --> 00:23:55,919

that will be be provided by Stephanie

604
00:24:40,020 --> 00:24:45,980
who on the East County Dynamic personal

605
00:24:45,980 --> 00:24:50,810
microtransit project

606
00:24:50,820 --> 00:24:57,890
welcome Stephanie

607
00:24:57,900 --> 00:25:00,000
you can see okay perfect

608
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,500
um good evening chair and Commissioners

609
00:25:01,500 --> 00:25:02,940
my name is Stephanie who director of

610
00:25:02,940 --> 00:25:05,460
projects at CCTA this is an

611
00:25:05,460 --> 00:25:07,440
informational item to provide you an

612
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,120
update on the dynamic personal

613
00:25:09,120 --> 00:25:14,090
microtransit or dpmt project

614
00:25:14,100 --> 00:25:16,980
um the dpmt project is a closed micro

615
00:25:16,980 --> 00:25:20,159
transit system consisting of a small a

616
00:25:20,159 --> 00:25:22,020
fleet of small personal driverless

617
00:25:22,020 --> 00:25:25,559
electric Vehicles operating on demand in

618
00:25:25,559 --> 00:25:28,679
a dedicated guideway either elevated or

619
00:25:28,679 --> 00:25:31,500
at grade each ride is to be ordered per

620
00:25:31,500 --> 00:25:33,659
party so there's no ride sharing the

621
00:25:33,659 --> 00:25:36,360
writer will order the ride via an app or

622
00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:38,520
at a kiosk that will take them where

623
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,799
they need to go without any intermediate

624
00:25:40,799 --> 00:25:41,820
stops

625
00:25:41,820 --> 00:25:44,640
we aim to have the system to be run on a

626
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,620
financially sustainable model so the

627
00:25:46,620 --> 00:25:48,720
cost of each ride would be comparable to

628
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,419
what people pay for Transit today

629
00:25:51,419 --> 00:25:54,539
the project aims to tackle these Transit

630
00:25:54,539 --> 00:25:56,940
priorities in East County improving

631
00:25:56,940 --> 00:25:58,640
Transit experience for the users

632
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,140
providing transit services that are that

633
00:26:01,140 --> 00:26:03,480
have Equitable access supporting

634
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,580
economic development in East County by

635
00:26:05,580 --> 00:26:07,919
increasing Mobility preparing the future

636
00:26:07,919 --> 00:26:11,039
in of transit connect Transit technology

637
00:26:11,039 --> 00:26:13,140
showing the public the benefits of

638
00:26:13,140 --> 00:26:15,299
transit to encourage most shift and

639
00:26:15,299 --> 00:26:19,799
Transit use and improving connection to

640
00:26:19,799 --> 00:26:22,679
some advantages of dpmt are that the

641
00:26:22,679 --> 00:26:24,299
potential to generate economic

642
00:26:24,299 --> 00:26:26,640
development in the East County the dpmt

643
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,679
vehicles are to be zero emission

644
00:26:28,679 --> 00:26:30,720
Vehicles so that supports the climate

645
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,659
goals that the state has to reduce ghg

646
00:26:33,659 --> 00:26:35,520
emissions it will provide greater

647
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,279
Transit accessibility and for the

648
00:26:38,279 --> 00:26:40,200
disadvantage disadvantaged communities

649
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,419
in East County and it complements fixed

650
00:26:42,419 --> 00:26:45,900
route Transit as a potential first mile

651
00:26:45,900 --> 00:26:47,880
Last Mile connection it can be

652
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,220
constructed costs effectively given its

653
00:26:50,220 --> 00:26:52,440
small footprint and each ride is on

654
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,659
demand and it's a private ride so the

655
00:26:54,659 --> 00:26:57,240
ride experience is personalized and safe

656
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,520
for the users

657
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,580
in 2021 the East County cities and the

658
00:27:02,580 --> 00:27:04,740
county collaborated and conducted a

659
00:27:04,740 --> 00:27:06,779
feasibility study to assess the

660
00:27:06,779 --> 00:27:09,000
viability of a dpmt project in East

661
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,460
County the study assumed glideways

662
00:27:11,460 --> 00:27:13,200
technology but we know there are other

663
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,480
technology vendors that can Implement a

664
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,240
dpmt project the study develop a

665
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:19,980
conceptual routing plan and also

666
00:27:19,980 --> 00:27:21,900
evaluated the feasibility of of

667
00:27:21,900 --> 00:27:24,360
attracting private financing and Public

668
00:27:24,360 --> 00:27:27,659
Funding to deliver the project and the

669
00:27:27,659 --> 00:27:29,460
study determined that public-private

670
00:27:29,460 --> 00:27:32,100
partnership or P3 would be or could be

671
00:27:32,100 --> 00:27:34,200
feasible

672
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:35,940
some key parameters that we're looking

673
00:27:35,940 --> 00:27:38,340
for for the dpmt project are that the

674
00:27:38,340 --> 00:27:40,860
system be operated On Demand with short

675
00:27:40,860 --> 00:27:43,740
waiting times and that dpmt is a

676
00:27:43,740 --> 00:27:45,720
personal ride so each ride is for one

677
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,460
party to get them from point A to point

678
00:27:47,460 --> 00:27:50,100
B and then there may be potential of

679
00:27:50,100 --> 00:27:52,260
having the flexibility for the users to

680
00:27:52,260 --> 00:27:53,760
choose to pick up other Riders if

681
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,980
desired the system is to be fully

682
00:27:55,980 --> 00:27:57,720
autonomous and operated with zero

683
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,760
emission Vehicles since we'll be

684
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,279
pursuing Federal funding the elements in

685
00:28:02,279 --> 00:28:03,840
the system will need to comply with

686
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,900
Federal made America rules and also Ada

687
00:28:06,900 --> 00:28:08,820
accessible we're looking for a system

688
00:28:08,820 --> 00:28:10,799
with smaller vehicles that are fully

689
00:28:10,799 --> 00:28:13,080
separated from traffic with dedicated

690
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,020
space and it would need to be operating

691
00:28:16,020 --> 00:28:18,299
in both directions separately and it can

692
00:28:18,299 --> 00:28:20,340
be operated at grade or grade separated

693
00:28:20,340 --> 00:28:22,559
the technology can be different than

694
00:28:22,559 --> 00:28:24,059
what was assumed in the feasibility

695
00:28:24,059 --> 00:28:26,870
study

696
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,919
in terms of delivery since the

697
00:28:28,919 --> 00:28:31,260
completion of the study try Delta

698
00:28:31,260 --> 00:28:33,539
Transit and CCTA staff have been

699
00:28:33,539 --> 00:28:35,760
collaborating on how to deliver the dpmt

700
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,159
project using design Bill Finance

701
00:28:38,159 --> 00:28:40,980
operate and maintain P3 model we

702
00:28:40,980 --> 00:28:43,200
conducted an industry Outreach Day in

703
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,000
February of last year which had really

704
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,980
good turnout and we received some useful

705
00:28:46,980 --> 00:28:49,140
feedback from the industry with the

706
00:28:49,140 --> 00:28:51,120
feedback Authority and try Delta staff

707
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,880
we find our delivery strategy using P3

708
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,460
model that includes procuring a

709
00:28:56,460 --> 00:28:57,720
developer team

710
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,880
and last July the authority board and

711
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,400
tried Delta Transit executed at mou that

712
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,140
defined roles and responsibilities of

713
00:29:04,140 --> 00:29:06,539
the two agencies including collaborating

714
00:29:06,539 --> 00:29:09,000
to advance the project using P3 if it's

715
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,460
financially feasible develop procurement

716
00:29:11,460 --> 00:29:14,880
documents and joining negotiate contract

717
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,659
and contract with a P3 developer team

718
00:29:18,659 --> 00:29:22,440
so the dpmt project is part of the new

719
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,899
ccj 4.0 Vision that our executive

720
00:29:24,899 --> 00:29:26,760
director had laid out a few months ago

721
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,460
the vision builds upon the Innovative

722
00:29:29,460 --> 00:29:31,380
framework that our agency has already

723
00:29:31,380 --> 00:29:34,200
established and aims to expand ccta's

724
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,840
role to include operations and

725
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,080
maintenance county-wide similar to the

726
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,140
Presto shuttle and innovate 680 the dpmt

727
00:29:43,140 --> 00:29:45,779
implementation will expand CT ccta's

728
00:29:45,779 --> 00:29:48,840
role in in the O M world or in

729
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,640
partnership with Tri Delta Transit for

730
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,200
this project

731
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,480
the authority and try Delta will be

732
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,520
managing entities and partners on

733
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,399
Project implementation both CCTA and try

734
00:29:59,399 --> 00:30:01,860
Delta will work with a P3 developer team

735
00:30:01,860 --> 00:30:03,899
on the project development construction

736
00:30:03,899 --> 00:30:06,480
and operations

737
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,080
so CCT and try Delta release an RFP in

738
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,059
November to procure a developer team

739
00:30:12,059 --> 00:30:14,640
consisting of a P3 developer and a

740
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,740
technology partner to perform three

741
00:30:16,740 --> 00:30:19,140
initial phases of work and this team

742
00:30:19,140 --> 00:30:21,000
would be formed with designated roles

743
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,559
that can access a range of funding

744
00:30:22,559 --> 00:30:24,539
opportunities and to navigate the

745
00:30:24,539 --> 00:30:27,120
funding and P3 constraints the initial

746
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,100
three phases of work will be the scope

747
00:30:29,100 --> 00:30:31,260
of work under the system pre-development

748
00:30:31,260 --> 00:30:34,500
agreement or spda which CCTA and try

749
00:30:34,500 --> 00:30:36,299
Delta Transit will jointly enter into

750
00:30:36,299 --> 00:30:39,000
with the developer team

751
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:43,740
the spta spda will cover three phases

752
00:30:43,740 --> 00:30:46,679
and it's a first step of our delivery

753
00:30:46,679 --> 00:30:48,779
approach the first and second phases

754
00:30:48,779 --> 00:30:51,419
will be at no cost to the authorities

755
00:30:51,419 --> 00:30:54,120
both CCTA and the development Tri Delta

756
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,000
the developer team is to do this work in

757
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,039
phases one and two at their own risk

758
00:30:59,039 --> 00:31:02,580
without payments from us phase one will

759
00:31:02,580 --> 00:31:05,279
include identifying a viable initial

760
00:31:05,279 --> 00:31:07,140
segment where the design construction

761
00:31:07,140 --> 00:31:09,720
and the long-term o m can be funded

762
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,159
through a combination of grant funding

763
00:31:11,159 --> 00:31:13,679
and revenues they would identify a

764
00:31:13,679 --> 00:31:16,500
technology solution that can operate the

765
00:31:16,500 --> 00:31:19,140
dpmt system they would review the

766
00:31:19,140 --> 00:31:20,640
assumptions made in the feasibility

767
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,340
study and the team will propose to CCTA

768
00:31:23,340 --> 00:31:25,260
and try Delta in an approach and a cost

769
00:31:25,260 --> 00:31:26,760
estimate for completing the

770
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,799
environmental review for this first

771
00:31:28,799 --> 00:31:31,080
segment and the programmatic approval

772
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,539
for future segments of dpmt

773
00:31:33,539 --> 00:31:35,460
phase two will include beginning

774
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:37,679
environmental scoping of the initial

775
00:31:37,679 --> 00:31:40,320
segment and applying and obtaining funds

776
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,720
needed to proceed to the phase three and

777
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,720
future implementation phase

778
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,820
if you're successful in obtaining grant

779
00:31:47,820 --> 00:31:49,980
funding in Phase 2 the developer team

780
00:31:49,980 --> 00:31:52,080
will proceed to phase three under the

781
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,799
spda phase 3 will be Grant funded and

782
00:31:55,799 --> 00:31:57,480
the work includes advancing the design

783
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,360
of the initial segment to 30 percent

784
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,860
including system engineering of the

785
00:32:01,860 --> 00:32:03,419
technology that will be used and

786
00:32:03,419 --> 00:32:05,100
identifying right-of-way needs

787
00:32:05,100 --> 00:32:07,380
completing SQL NEPA clearance for the

788
00:32:07,380 --> 00:32:09,539
first segment or initial segment and

789
00:32:09,539 --> 00:32:11,700
conducting investment grade ridership

790
00:32:11,700 --> 00:32:14,399
and revenue analysis the work in the

791
00:32:14,399 --> 00:32:16,140
first three these three phases again is

792
00:32:16,140 --> 00:32:18,899
covered under the system pre-development

793
00:32:18,899 --> 00:32:21,419
agreement or spda and that will be

794
00:32:21,419 --> 00:32:25,200
executed by ccca Tri Delta with the

795
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,299
selected team

796
00:32:27,299 --> 00:32:29,820
at the end of phase three that's covered

797
00:32:29,820 --> 00:32:32,340
by the spda and if the initial segment

798
00:32:32,340 --> 00:32:34,020
is still determined to be financially

799
00:32:34,020 --> 00:32:37,320
feeable feasible we will enter into a

800
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,480
second step where the authority and try

801
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,580
Delta will negotiate with the developer

802
00:32:41,580 --> 00:32:44,880
team and execute a system development

803
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,820
agreement or SDA

804
00:32:46,820 --> 00:32:49,440
the implementation phase will include

805
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,779
the completion of final design for the

806
00:32:51,779 --> 00:32:54,120
five the first segment obtaining any

807
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,580
right-of-way permits or approval and

808
00:32:56,580 --> 00:32:58,640
then constructing this initial segment

809
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,260
and the negotiation of the SDA may

810
00:33:01,260 --> 00:33:03,899
include future segments of the dpmt

811
00:33:03,899 --> 00:33:05,940
system

812
00:33:05,940 --> 00:33:07,279
so because

813
00:33:07,279 --> 00:33:10,260
this is very specialized work and this

814
00:33:10,260 --> 00:33:12,899
is alternative delivery with P3 we've

815
00:33:12,899 --> 00:33:14,460
had several rounds of one-on-one

816
00:33:14,460 --> 00:33:16,799
meetings or negotiations that were held

817
00:33:16,799 --> 00:33:19,440
with prospective developer teams after

818
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,019
we released the RFP between November and

819
00:33:22,019 --> 00:33:26,039
may where we sought input from the uh

820
00:33:26,039 --> 00:33:28,620
the prospective teams about our delivery

821
00:33:28,620 --> 00:33:31,140
structure phasing and also get comments

822
00:33:31,140 --> 00:33:34,220
from them on the draft RFP and SPD

823
00:33:34,220 --> 00:33:37,159
some major discussion points were first

824
00:33:37,159 --> 00:33:39,899
developing a work plan that outlines the

825
00:33:39,899 --> 00:33:41,940
responsibilities for the authority staff

826
00:33:41,940 --> 00:33:44,580
and also the developer team and also who

827
00:33:44,580 --> 00:33:47,940
will take lead on some Key activities

828
00:33:47,940 --> 00:33:49,740
um there are also discussions about the

829
00:33:49,740 --> 00:33:51,960
no payments to developer team for phases

830
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,260
one and two work both CCTA and try Delta

831
00:33:55,260 --> 00:33:57,240
were very firm on this because we do not

832
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,100
have any funding for the project at this

833
00:33:59,100 --> 00:34:01,500
time and so to be clear again phase one

834
00:34:01,500 --> 00:34:03,779
phase two does not cost the authorities

835
00:34:03,779 --> 00:34:04,980
um anything

836
00:34:04,980 --> 00:34:06,960
um the developer team will be taking

837
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,960
those tasks on at their own risk and

838
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,760
even if we are successful in getting

839
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,159
grants to advance to phase three the

840
00:34:14,159 --> 00:34:16,679
authorities will not be paying work done

841
00:34:16,679 --> 00:34:19,500
in Phase One and phase two first because

842
00:34:19,500 --> 00:34:21,839
grant funding that we would hopefully

843
00:34:21,839 --> 00:34:23,399
get in four phase three work would be

844
00:34:23,399 --> 00:34:25,619
for phase three work and then also grant

845
00:34:25,619 --> 00:34:27,960
funding isn't normally doesn't allow us

846
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,720
to pay for work that's already been done

847
00:34:30,720 --> 00:34:34,139
prior to Grant award and also if the

848
00:34:34,139 --> 00:34:35,879
authorities terminate the agreement

849
00:34:35,879 --> 00:34:38,280
there will also be no payments for phase

850
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,260
one and phase two

851
00:34:40,260 --> 00:34:42,480
another topic that we discussed was the

852
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,700
request for exclusivity by the

853
00:34:44,700 --> 00:34:47,159
prospective teams to mitigate the risk

854
00:34:47,159 --> 00:34:50,460
this request was not a huge one a huge

855
00:34:50,460 --> 00:34:52,859
risk for the authorities so the

856
00:34:52,859 --> 00:34:54,780
authority ends the Contra for any reason

857
00:34:54,780 --> 00:34:57,660
we will not undertake another dpmt

858
00:34:57,660 --> 00:34:59,880
project in East County for 12 months

859
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:02,400
this lowers the risks for the developer

860
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,320
team and then also signals to the

861
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,180
proposals that the authorities are

862
00:35:06,180 --> 00:35:08,099
committed and serious about advancing

863
00:35:08,099 --> 00:35:10,440
the project with the selected team

864
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,180
lastly there are discussions and

865
00:35:12,180 --> 00:35:14,460
confirmations about the Authority's

866
00:35:14,460 --> 00:35:15,960
commitment of staff's time on the

867
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,359
project again because the developer team

868
00:35:18,359 --> 00:35:19,859
is working at risk for the first two

869
00:35:19,859 --> 00:35:22,200
phases they want to be insured that our

870
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,020
staff CCT staff and try Delta staff are

871
00:35:25,020 --> 00:35:27,480
going to be actively engaged on the

872
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,579
project so with the comments we received

873
00:35:29,579 --> 00:35:31,200
through these one-on-one meetings we

874
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,940
were able to find our procurement

875
00:35:32,940 --> 00:35:36,119
documents and then we issued refinements

876
00:35:36,119 --> 00:35:39,480
to our documents through several addenda

877
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,160
so moving forward looking forward in

878
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,079
terms of timeline the proposals were due

879
00:35:43,079 --> 00:35:45,660
June 2nd we're wrapping up our major

880
00:35:45,660 --> 00:35:47,820
procurement activities this week so I

881
00:35:47,820 --> 00:35:49,800
will not go into the details of the

882
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,260
selection of the team today we will be

883
00:35:52,260 --> 00:35:54,240
seeking concurrence and approval of the

884
00:35:54,240 --> 00:35:57,900
spda from the Tri Delta board next week

885
00:35:57,900 --> 00:36:00,119
staff will come back to this board for

886
00:36:00,119 --> 00:36:03,780
execution of the spda in July and the CC

887
00:36:03,780 --> 00:36:06,420
the Tri Delta board will execute the

888
00:36:06,420 --> 00:36:10,440
contract after we execute next month

889
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,720
and with that be happy to take any

890
00:36:12,720 --> 00:36:15,300
questions I wanted to acknowledge Branch

891
00:36:15,300 --> 00:36:18,060
butson he is our P3 attorney from

892
00:36:18,060 --> 00:36:19,980
Kathleen Kirsch and Rockwell he's on the

893
00:36:19,980 --> 00:36:21,599
call in case there are questions that he

894
00:36:21,599 --> 00:36:23,640
may be able to answer with that that

895
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,500
concludes my presentation

896
00:36:25,500 --> 00:36:27,960
hey thank you Stephanie this is really

897
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,300
exciting stuff

898
00:36:30,300 --> 00:36:32,880
um so I'll turn to my

899
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:34,859
colleagues

900
00:36:34,859 --> 00:36:37,560
board member is supper all right

901
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,780
um thank you is it as exciting everybody

902
00:36:39,780 --> 00:36:42,480
at the conference wanted to get in that

903
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,099
car and see how they looked in it and

904
00:36:44,099 --> 00:36:46,140
how they would ride and so I'm just

905
00:36:46,140 --> 00:36:48,140
going to limit it to that overall view

906
00:36:48,140 --> 00:36:51,599
so I know that um you know I'm kind of

907
00:36:51,599 --> 00:36:53,820
representing San Ramon here too and that

908
00:36:53,820 --> 00:36:55,200
they had a little delay in the bird

909
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,240
project because they were the scooters

910
00:36:57,240 --> 00:36:59,040
weren't where they needed to be and how

911
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,200
many you needed to have at one point in

912
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,720
time so what happens with these cars

913
00:37:03,720 --> 00:37:06,720
you've got Danville with 45 000 people

914
00:37:06,720 --> 00:37:08,520
how many of those do you have to have

915
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,180
around to be able to have 10 people five

916
00:37:12,180 --> 00:37:14,460
people go to the doctor or school at 10

917
00:37:14,460 --> 00:37:16,200
o'clock in the morning do they have

918
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:17,940
several of these because it's a personal

919
00:37:17,940 --> 00:37:20,760
vehicle right yeah I think that depends

920
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,800
on the segment the initial segment that

921
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,839
we'll be tackling

922
00:37:24,839 --> 00:37:26,700
um and I'm sure through the analysis

923
00:37:26,700 --> 00:37:29,460
they will provide the adequate vehicles

924
00:37:29,460 --> 00:37:32,460
to support the ridership for that

925
00:37:32,460 --> 00:37:34,440
segment which is not yet known at this

926
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,560
time that's all work that will be done

927
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,900
in this initial phase or sorry phase one

928
00:37:39,900 --> 00:37:42,619
is San Jose experiencing this right now

929
00:37:42,619 --> 00:37:45,300
they're they're also in the development

930
00:37:45,300 --> 00:37:48,119
stage right yeah it's familiar with the

931
00:37:48,119 --> 00:37:50,880
San Jose project and where they are at

932
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,220
um I'm just looking for somebody maybe

933
00:37:53,220 --> 00:37:55,560
that's tried it yet or are we first yeah

934
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,380
what do you say first whoa

935
00:37:58,380 --> 00:38:00,839
yeah all right I think that project is

936
00:38:00,839 --> 00:38:02,300
the airport

937
00:38:02,300 --> 00:38:04,500
it's not quite as having enough

938
00:38:04,500 --> 00:38:07,440
disservice so that people want to keep

939
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,599
taking this yeah so I think that's part

940
00:38:09,599 --> 00:38:12,119
of the analysis and as they study that

941
00:38:12,119 --> 00:38:14,520
first segment who of course have enough

942
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,880
vehicles to serve the ridership Tim

943
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,400
thank you maybe I can just add so what

944
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,440
the the way the system's preliminary

945
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,420
development where we laid out is based

946
00:38:24,420 --> 00:38:26,760
on user requirements and quality of

947
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,220
service so basically what will happen is

948
00:38:29,220 --> 00:38:30,900
the system provider or the operator

949
00:38:30,900 --> 00:38:32,820
would have to provide whatever number of

950
00:38:32,820 --> 00:38:34,920
vehicles are required to meet them the

951
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,619
the user requirements so for example you

952
00:38:37,619 --> 00:38:39,000
know as we go through our analysis and

953
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,740
this will determine on how to how it'll

954
00:38:40,740 --> 00:38:42,119
actually pencil out from a funding and

955
00:38:42,119 --> 00:38:43,980
revenue standpoint cost the revenue

956
00:38:43,980 --> 00:38:46,920
standpoint but let's say for example we

957
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:48,540
want to make sure we have headways of

958
00:38:48,540 --> 00:38:50,460
you know every 10 minutes you know in

959
00:38:50,460 --> 00:38:53,160
the system right so based on analysis

960
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,200
and based on demand they would have to

961
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:56,460
provide whatever number of vehicles

962
00:38:56,460 --> 00:38:58,380
whether that be 100 vehicles or 200

963
00:38:58,380 --> 00:39:00,420
Vehicles right and that'll all be

964
00:39:00,420 --> 00:39:02,520
determined on how you pencil out the

965
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,440
operating cost versus the revenue when

966
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:05,940
we go through this kind of initial phase

967
00:39:05,940 --> 00:39:08,040
to make sure it's to make sure it's a

968
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,680
feasible project in phase one before we

969
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:14,770
actually move to subsequent phases

970
00:39:14,780 --> 00:39:18,119
picks number robots yeah oh okay thank

971
00:39:18,119 --> 00:39:20,280
you thank you

972
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,510
thank you

973
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,980
uh board member know it I I just had a

974
00:39:25,980 --> 00:39:28,200
question I I heard the concern on not

975
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,900
funding for phase one and two were we

976
00:39:30,900 --> 00:39:32,760
happy with the number of proposals that

977
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:38,810
we received from Developers

978
00:39:38,820 --> 00:39:42,480
we're still in the I I'm hesitant to say

979
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,520
because we're still we haven't wrapped

980
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,619
it all up so that's why we were hoping

981
00:39:46,619 --> 00:39:48,540
this was informational item to prepare

982
00:39:48,540 --> 00:39:51,839
you all for the next month's action I I

983
00:39:51,839 --> 00:39:54,240
thought they were due by June 2nd yeah

984
00:39:54,240 --> 00:39:56,220
they were due in June 2nd we met to

985
00:39:56,220 --> 00:39:59,760
panel and evaluation so yeah so you're

986
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,820
not quite cool yeah otherwise today for

987
00:40:02,820 --> 00:40:05,400

information this time laughs

990
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:12,540

996
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:24,900
laws

997
00:40:24,900 --> 00:40:27,720

Kelly so personal means one

999
00:40:32,540 --> 00:40:35,220
singular party like I can get a ride

1000
00:40:35,220 --> 00:40:38,400
with two people I'm a single party sorry

1001
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,280
family of four yes yes yes what about a

1002
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,619
bike yeah there will be room right yeah

1003
00:40:43,619 --> 00:40:47,220
I've seen pictures one black bike not a

1004
00:40:47,220 --> 00:40:49,920
cohort and I saw the East County is

1005
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,320
there a proposed route this time or is

1006
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,119
this just a general yeah the map that

1007
00:40:54,119 --> 00:40:56,040
you saw was from the feasibility study

1008
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,020
along where

1009
00:40:58,020 --> 00:41:00,359
um it was to connect any of the keys

1010
00:41:00,359 --> 00:41:03,020
right by your house okay sure

1011
00:41:03,020 --> 00:41:05,220
commissioner yeah

1012
00:41:05,220 --> 00:41:06,720
um it was conducting major activity

1013
00:41:06,720 --> 00:41:09,900
centers and um schools but they have not

1014
00:41:09,900 --> 00:41:13,079
it was a concept so parallel following

1015
00:41:13,079 --> 00:41:14,579
Bart too

1016
00:41:14,579 --> 00:41:16,079
um I

1017
00:41:16,079 --> 00:41:19,079
um they canned there's no there is no

1018
00:41:19,079 --> 00:41:21,000
definite defined route right now this

1019
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,760
could be a first one okay okay great

1020
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,119
thank you

1021
00:41:26,119 --> 00:41:28,320
remember Kelly

1022
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:29,339
um Stephanie thank you for your

1023
00:41:29,339 --> 00:41:31,560
presentation and this is very very

1024
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,420
um very exciting

1025
00:41:33,420 --> 00:41:37,020
um and these um little dpmts they'll run

1026
00:41:37,020 --> 00:41:39,180
on their own track so to speak right

1027
00:41:39,180 --> 00:41:41,640
yeah their own pavement

1028
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,859
um designated a dedicated space not

1029
00:41:43,859 --> 00:41:46,200
share not share with mixed flow traffic

1030
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,420
or right and then there won't be traffic

1031
00:41:48,420 --> 00:41:50,760
crossing over there they would need to

1032
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,220
either find a way to go over or under

1033
00:41:53,220 --> 00:41:55,079
okay and I know we're just in the

1034
00:41:55,079 --> 00:41:56,579
beginning stages right now but do we

1035
00:41:56,579 --> 00:41:58,500
have any idea how long phase one and

1036
00:41:58,500 --> 00:42:01,020
phase two might take you mean in time

1037
00:42:01,020 --> 00:42:02,460
yeah yeah

1038
00:42:02,460 --> 00:42:04,859
um yeah we anticipate to be six to nine

1039
00:42:04,859 --> 00:42:07,140
months understanding that developers are

1040
00:42:07,140 --> 00:42:09,420
doing this for free at risk we couldn't

1041
00:42:09,420 --> 00:42:12,599
go on forever so okay so not five years

1042
00:42:12,599 --> 00:42:14,720
right no I mean I don't know

1043
00:42:14,720 --> 00:42:17,160
sooner rather than later so yes of

1044
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,140
course I think we also need to in that

1045
00:42:19,140 --> 00:42:22,040
time assess Financial

1046
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,599
feasibility of course but yeah we don't

1047
00:42:24,599 --> 00:42:26,520
anticipate one phases one and two to be

1048
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,880
years right and as I understand it if

1049
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,400
this actually gets produced um that

1050
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,380
people will be paying for these rides

1051
00:42:34,380 --> 00:42:36,000
right it's not going to be free it's not

1052
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,740
like Disneyland

1053
00:42:37,740 --> 00:42:40,339
oh Disneyland

1054
00:42:40,339 --> 00:42:43,380
I mean once you get on the ride okay

1055
00:42:43,380 --> 00:42:46,200
thank you very different definitions for

1056
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:49,069
free

1057
00:42:49,079 --> 00:42:51,780
yeah

1058
00:42:51,780 --> 00:42:53,400
okay

1059
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:54,180
um

1060
00:42:54,180 --> 00:42:56,460
any member any public members in the

1061
00:42:56,460 --> 00:42:58,380
board chamber

1062
00:42:58,380 --> 00:43:01,609
Mr Olsen

1063
00:43:01,619 --> 00:43:03,060
thank you

1064
00:43:03,060 --> 00:43:06,359
Bruce Olson East Contra Costa's Mr

1065
00:43:06,359 --> 00:43:09,839
bicycle I have two concerns number one

1066
00:43:09,839 --> 00:43:13,260
we don't want to lose any existing bike

1067
00:43:13,260 --> 00:43:16,920
Lanes to the dedicated glideway and

1068
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:18,960
number two

1069
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,640
um there aren't that many utility

1070
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,359
corridors out there and we have paths on

1071
00:43:24,359 --> 00:43:27,720
many of them these paths are used by

1072
00:43:27,720 --> 00:43:36,050
mother

1073
00:43:36,060 --> 00:43:36,720
um

1074
00:43:36,720 --> 00:43:39,000
but I kind of want to say right now we

1075
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,640
don't want to share it until

1076
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:45,839
I cannot see that but the more the

1077
00:43:45,839 --> 00:43:49,190
faster these

1078
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,359
and they could shut off Darion

1079
00:43:51,359 --> 00:43:57,109
it Terry don't it shut off

1080
00:43:57,119 --> 00:44:06,710
it was on and it just stopped batteries

1081
00:44:06,720 --> 00:44:10,200
yeah use this yeah

1082
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,060
so

1083
00:44:12,060 --> 00:44:15,180
where should I start over

1084
00:44:15,180 --> 00:44:17,220
all right just shut up

1085
00:44:17,220 --> 00:44:18,900
you don't want to share

1086
00:44:18,900 --> 00:44:23,760
well it's on okay

1087
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,760
um not not wanting to share is a little

1088
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:28,579
strong

1089
00:44:28,579 --> 00:44:32,700
expression of concern

1090
00:44:32,700 --> 00:44:33,540
um

1091
00:44:33,540 --> 00:44:37,200
utility corridors are in limited Supply

1092
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:40,440
out there we have bike paths and

1093
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:45,980
pedestrian paths on these corridors uh

1094
00:44:45,980 --> 00:44:49,980
parents pushing baby carriages uh

1095
00:44:49,980 --> 00:44:51,839
parents trying to teach their

1096
00:44:51,839 --> 00:44:54,720
five-year-old how to ride a bicycle if

1097
00:44:54,720 --> 00:44:57,200
we have one of these

1098
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:01,740
autonomous vehicles racing down our

1099
00:45:01,740 --> 00:45:05,760
utility Corridor the uh those parents

1100
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,640
and young children might just evaporate

1101
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:12,200
because they're afraid I'm I am

1102
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:16,079
expressing concern here another thing to

1103
00:45:16,079 --> 00:45:18,420
be concerned about would be are we going

1104
00:45:18,420 --> 00:45:23,040
to share our new bridge over the highway

1105
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:26,099
4 this one we're spending more than 13

1106
00:45:26,099 --> 00:45:29,280
million dollars on

1107
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:32,760
um it wasn't designed to have autonomous

1108
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:36,540
vehicles on it we'll share maybe when

1109
00:45:36,540 --> 00:45:40,079
they go over this uh our our new our

1110
00:45:40,079 --> 00:45:43,859
lovely new wonderful Bridge uh they

1111
00:45:43,859 --> 00:45:47,040
could go at the pace of a uh walking

1112
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:48,960
person

1113
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:54,180
it is a nice utility Corridor and uh I I

1114
00:45:54,180 --> 00:45:56,940
think I'll stop there thanks very much I

1115
00:45:56,940 --> 00:46:01,140
too am very interested and uh think this

1116
00:46:01,140 --> 00:46:03,480
is a great idea and it should be pursued

1117
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:07,920
thank you very much

1118
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:11,280
any other public members and board

1119

okay

1121
00:46:15,119 --> 00:46:25,490
Tyrion do we have any public remote

1122
00:46:25,500 --> 00:46:28,319
no public comment verbal or written

1123
00:46:28,319 --> 00:46:31,440
okay thanks again Stephanie this is a

1124
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:35,940
informational item so there's no action

1125
00:46:35,940 --> 00:46:37,980
we'll move to the next item on the

1126
00:46:37,980 --> 00:46:40,040
agenda which is also an informational

1127
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:43,079
item from the planning committee

1128
00:46:43,079 --> 00:46:45,660
to be introduced by Matt Kelly

1129
00:46:45,660 --> 00:46:49,339
on the San Pablo Avenue

1130
00:46:49,339 --> 00:46:53,240
multimodal Corridor study phase two

1131
00:46:53,240 --> 00:46:56,160
Welcome Matt and I think you have some

1132
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:59,520
guests I do thank you chair Glover good

1133
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,280
evening uh Authority board members Matt

1134
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,380
Kelly senior Transportation planner with

1135
00:47:04,380 --> 00:47:07,500
CCTA I'm very happy to be here tonight

1136
00:47:07,500 --> 00:47:11,400
to present uh findings from the San

1137
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,940
Pablo Avenue multimodal Corridor study

1138
00:47:13,940 --> 00:47:16,260
specifically phase two but I wanted to

1139
00:47:16,260 --> 00:47:18,720
give you a little background before I

1140
00:47:18,720 --> 00:47:21,599
turn it over to our presenter on the

1141
00:47:21,599 --> 00:47:26,180
phase one uh which started back in 2017

1142
00:47:26,180 --> 00:47:30,119
CCTA and WIC Tac are our regional

1143
00:47:30,119 --> 00:47:31,619
transportation planning committee out in

1144
00:47:31,619 --> 00:47:34,140
West County decided to partner with

1145
00:47:34,140 --> 00:47:37,099
Alameda County Transportation Commission

1146
00:47:37,099 --> 00:47:41,880
in order to conduct a study of all modes

1147
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,220
on San Pablo Avenue it's kind of the

1148
00:47:44,220 --> 00:47:47,520
main street through West Contra Costa

1149
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:49,339
and Western Alameda County

1150
00:47:49,339 --> 00:47:53,400
and look at how we could best facilitate

1151
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:56,040
as many modes as possible but really

1152
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:59,400
focusing on active Transportation bikes

1153
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,160
and pedestrians as well as Transit and

1154
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:05,040
how we could provide better access to

1155
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:08,579
those modes as well as move them uh you

1156
00:48:08,579 --> 00:48:09,780
know where they want to be in the court

1157
00:48:09,780 --> 00:48:13,460
or a little easier and faster hopefully

1158
00:48:13,460 --> 00:48:16,980
so the phase one work

1159
00:48:16,980 --> 00:48:19,619
was led by Kimberly horn I have Adam

1160
00:48:19,619 --> 00:48:22,339
dankford from Kimberly horn here today

1161
00:48:22,339 --> 00:48:24,960
they they did all the work for both

1162
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:26,180
counties

1163
00:48:26,180 --> 00:48:30,300
once we did that initial look at the

1164
00:48:30,300 --> 00:48:32,099
corridor looking at existing conditions

1165
00:48:32,099 --> 00:48:34,380
what does it look like today what is it

1166
00:48:34,380 --> 00:48:37,980
going to look like in 2040 and then how

1167
00:48:37,980 --> 00:48:41,819
can we improve those 20 40 conditions so

1168
00:48:41,819 --> 00:48:45,060
once we kind of took that initial look

1169
00:48:45,060 --> 00:48:45,599
um

1170
00:48:45,599 --> 00:48:48,480
we decided that we needed to do some

1171
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,880
more work in Contra Costa County really

1172
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:52,020
because

1173
00:48:52,020 --> 00:48:55,740
uh San Pablo Avenue in in in Contra

1174
00:48:55,740 --> 00:48:59,520
Costa County varies uh in width as you

1175
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:02,700
go down the corridor it may be uh 78

1176
00:49:02,700 --> 00:49:06,300
feet or 72 feet in one spot and then 88

1177
00:49:06,300 --> 00:49:09,119
feet uh you know a couple blocks down so

1178
00:49:09,119 --> 00:49:11,040
that really affects what you can do with

1179
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:12,660
that right-of-way when you're talking

1180
00:49:12,660 --> 00:49:14,099
about trying to accommodate these

1181
00:49:14,099 --> 00:49:16,079
different modes so we decided to use

1182
00:49:16,079 --> 00:49:19,200
phase two to really look at uh different

1183
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,720
uh segments of the corridor and really

1184
00:49:21,720 --> 00:49:23,760
see what might be possible in the Contra

1185
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:25,160
Costa segment

1186
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:29,040
and so we've now completed phase two uh

1187
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:33,000
We've uh we've presented this to the WIC

1188
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:36,660
attack board in January and what we're

1189
00:49:36,660 --> 00:49:38,280
going to do here today is present the

1190
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:40,079
findings from phase two and really what

1191
00:49:40,079 --> 00:49:42,300
we presented to the whiptack board and

1192
00:49:42,300 --> 00:49:45,060
what they approved in January we don't

1193
00:49:45,060 --> 00:49:47,040
have a action for you tonight we really

1194
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,740
just want to Daylight this study and the

1195
00:49:49,740 --> 00:49:51,660
findings from it because uh we think

1196
00:49:51,660 --> 00:49:54,180
it's it's pretty exciting stuff so I'm

1197
00:49:54,180 --> 00:49:55,920
going to turn it over to Adam dankberg

1198
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:59,220
and have him uh you through

1199
00:49:59,220 --> 00:50:07,190
our findings here

1200
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:27,050
share my screen here

1201
00:50:27,060 --> 00:50:30,359
we go let's go ahead welcome Adam

1202
00:50:30,359 --> 00:50:33,480
thank you very much good evening I'm

1203
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,579
Adam denkberg with Kimberly horn the

1204
00:50:35,579 --> 00:50:37,319
project manager for this project it's a

1205
00:50:37,319 --> 00:50:39,359
pleasure to be here tonight speaking

1206
00:50:39,359 --> 00:50:41,220
with you all

1207
00:50:41,220 --> 00:50:43,079
um

1208
00:50:43,079 --> 00:50:45,599
there we go okay I'll cover some

1209
00:50:45,599 --> 00:50:47,880
background on the study some key

1210
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:50,640
findings and then some options on where

1211
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:53,930
to proceed next

1212
00:50:53,940 --> 00:50:55,980
so back when we started the study

1213
00:50:55,980 --> 00:50:58,319
several years ago there's a effort and

1214
00:50:58,319 --> 00:51:00,359
process to identify the goals and

1215
00:51:00,359 --> 00:51:02,700
purpose of the effort so some of the key

1216
00:51:02,700 --> 00:51:05,040
items include accommodating growth and

1217
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:06,540
supporting Economic Development the

1218
00:51:06,540 --> 00:51:08,700
corridor improving the quality and

1219
00:51:08,700 --> 00:51:10,680
comfort of trips and particularly safety

1220
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:12,900
for all users in the corridor

1221
00:51:12,900 --> 00:51:14,819
and promoting Equity an equitable

1222
00:51:14,819 --> 00:51:17,220
Transportation options in the corridor

1223
00:51:17,220 --> 00:51:20,099
so we started this effort back actually

1224
00:51:20,099 --> 00:51:23,280
in 2017 the corridor study extended all

1225
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:24,839
the way from the southern limits of San

1226
00:51:24,839 --> 00:51:27,420
Pablo Avenue in Oakland to Hilltop Mall

1227
00:51:27,420 --> 00:51:29,280
in Richmond

1228
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,859
um it was led by Alameda CTC but there

1229
00:51:31,859 --> 00:51:33,900
was close partnership with Wake Tech and

1230
00:51:33,900 --> 00:51:36,720
CCTA throughout that process it was a

1231
00:51:36,720 --> 00:51:38,220
multi-year effort where we did existing

1232
00:51:38,220 --> 00:51:40,140
conditions analysis concept developments

1233
00:51:40,140 --> 00:51:41,700
modeling and we actually had a couple

1234
00:51:41,700 --> 00:51:45,660
rounds of public engagement and surveys

1235
00:51:45,660 --> 00:51:48,420
at the conclusion of that effort Alameda

1236
00:51:48,420 --> 00:51:50,280
CTC felt like they had some clear

1237
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,380
Direction understanding of where Alameda

1238
00:51:52,380 --> 00:51:54,960
County wanted to proceed but as Matt

1239
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:56,760
mentioned there is less Clarity in

1240
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:58,859
Contra Costa County because of the

1241
00:51:58,859 --> 00:52:01,260
variety and conditions in the corridor

1242
00:52:01,260 --> 00:52:03,000
both in travel Behavior as well as

1243
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,460
geometric conditions I mean so this

1244
00:52:05,460 --> 00:52:07,680
effort was developed to really focus

1245
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,200
more on the Contra Costa County portion

1246
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,540
before deciding what to proceed with

1247
00:52:12,540 --> 00:52:13,500
next

1248
00:52:13,500 --> 00:52:15,119
so some of the elements we looked at in

1249
00:52:15,119 --> 00:52:16,859
phase two include the geometric

1250
00:52:16,859 --> 00:52:19,079
feasibility of different options looking

1251
00:52:19,079 --> 00:52:22,079
at parking and bike lane implications a

1252
00:52:22,079 --> 00:52:23,700
particular focus on safety and

1253
00:52:23,700 --> 00:52:26,339
identifying near-term Solutions we

1254
00:52:26,339 --> 00:52:28,800
looked at traffic implications and we

1255
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:30,720
had several presentations with the WIC

1256
00:52:30,720 --> 00:52:32,760
attack board as well as the various City

1257
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,400
councils along this Corridor um it

1258
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:37,079
covers the cities of San Pablo Richmond

1259
00:52:37,079 --> 00:52:40,140
and El Cerrito

1260
00:52:40,140 --> 00:52:43,020
so a brief background for those not as

1261
00:52:43,020 --> 00:52:44,880
familiar with the corridor there

1262
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:46,680
actually is quite a frequent bus service

1263
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,559
today so south of McDonald there's buses

1264
00:52:49,559 --> 00:52:51,660
every seven minutes in this Corridor so

1265
00:52:51,660 --> 00:52:53,400
quite a bit of bus service

1266
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,559
um there are some bike Lanes but only in

1267
00:52:55,559 --> 00:52:57,780
short stretches of the corridor but one

1268
00:52:57,780 --> 00:52:59,280
of the challenges is for pedestrian

1269
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:01,319
circulation there's some long gaps

1270
00:53:01,319 --> 00:53:03,540
between safe and comfortable Crossings

1271
00:53:03,540 --> 00:53:05,400
this Coral particularly in El Cerrito

1272
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:07,260
and one thing that we found actually

1273
00:53:07,260 --> 00:53:09,359
early on in the project is that a lot of

1274
00:53:09,359 --> 00:53:11,099
the people using San Pablo Avenue don't

1275
00:53:11,099 --> 00:53:13,260
have a destination or a trip origin on

1276
00:53:13,260 --> 00:53:14,819
San Pablo they're just passing through

1277
00:53:14,819 --> 00:53:17,099
80s busy and they choose to get on San

1278
00:53:17,099 --> 00:53:19,319
Pablo Avenue because they think it'll be

1279
00:53:19,319 --> 00:53:21,780
faster and so there are some

1280
00:53:21,780 --> 00:53:23,640
opportunities then in terms of how to

1281
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:25,740
reuse the space Maybe to discourage them

1282
00:53:25,740 --> 00:53:27,480
that pass through and and also to try

1283
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:29,400
and convert some of those Auto trips to

1284
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,150
Transit

1285
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:33,780
some of the challenges in the corridor

1286
00:53:33,780 --> 00:53:36,540
are associated with that congestion so

1287
00:53:36,540 --> 00:53:38,520
in that chart on the right um the red

1288
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:40,500
portion of the bar chart and it shows

1289
00:53:40,500 --> 00:53:42,359
total travel time for the bus the red

1290
00:53:42,359 --> 00:53:44,280
portion is the time the bus spends in

1291
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:45,660
congestion and you can see it actually

1292
00:53:45,660 --> 00:53:48,000
spends more than half of its time stuck

1293
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,099
in congestion and not even moving or it

1294
00:53:50,099 --> 00:53:52,260
stops and what we found is if you do

1295
00:53:52,260 --> 00:53:54,119
nothing on this Corridor that amount of

1296
00:53:54,119 --> 00:53:55,800
traffic delay will increase by 69

1297
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:59,460
percent by 2035 and so conditions for

1298
00:53:59,460 --> 00:54:02,700
the bus will worsen as well the other

1299
00:54:02,700 --> 00:54:06,540
major issue is safety so there are 293

1300
00:54:06,540 --> 00:54:08,220
injuries or fatalities in a recent

1301
00:54:08,220 --> 00:54:10,559
five-year period 73 of those involve

1302
00:54:10,559 --> 00:54:12,599
pedestrians or cyclists including three

1303
00:54:12,599 --> 00:54:14,400
fatalities on this Corridor and so that

1304
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:16,380
really underscores the need for looking

1305
00:54:16,380 --> 00:54:17,819
at solutions to enhance safety

1306
00:54:17,819 --> 00:54:19,440
particularly for those most vulnerable

1307
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:21,720
users

1308
00:54:21,720 --> 00:54:24,240
the bus system is well utilized today a

1309
00:54:24,240 --> 00:54:27,359
total of 12 500 daily bus riders this

1310
00:54:27,359 --> 00:54:29,700
was a pretty pandemic about half of

1311
00:54:29,700 --> 00:54:32,160
those are in Contra Costa County so

1312
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:33,599
um sort of the adage of you know maybe

1313
00:54:33,599 --> 00:54:34,680
it's just the Oakland people or the

1314
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:35,640
Berkeley people on the bus actually

1315
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:37,319
there is quite a bit of bus ridership in

1316
00:54:37,319 --> 00:54:39,540
Contra Costa County in this Corridor uh

1317
00:54:39,540 --> 00:54:41,220
there are more Riders on the 72 series

1318
00:54:41,220 --> 00:54:43,500
that operates on this Corridor than any

1319
00:54:43,500 --> 00:54:46,619
other AC transit route and about 14 in

1320
00:54:46,619 --> 00:54:48,960
the tire system ridership we wanted to

1321
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:50,220
underscore some of the key Equity

1322
00:54:50,220 --> 00:54:52,319
components of this Corridor

1323
00:54:52,319 --> 00:54:53,819
um over three cores of the passengers

1324
00:54:53,819 --> 00:54:56,400
are non-white over half make less than

1325
00:54:56,400 --> 00:55:00,480
50 000 per year and almost 100 93 of the

1326
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:03,180
study areas within a quarter mile of MTC

1327
00:55:03,180 --> 00:55:06,059
designated Equity priority community so

1328
00:55:06,059 --> 00:55:08,280
a lot of considerations for that in this

1329
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:10,380
corridor

1330
00:55:10,380 --> 00:55:12,119
so we looked at a variety of options of

1331
00:55:12,119 --> 00:55:14,760
how we could improve Transit on San

1332
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:17,579
Pablo Avenue and there's a wide Suite of

1333
00:55:17,579 --> 00:55:19,740
options ranging up to bus Rapid Transit

1334
00:55:19,740 --> 00:55:21,480
which is sort of the catch-all for many

1335
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:23,460
of these enhancements we did several

1336
00:55:23,460 --> 00:55:25,020
presentations the wig tech board about

1337
00:55:25,020 --> 00:55:26,040
some of the different options and

1338
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:28,020
configurations I won't go into all that

1339
00:55:28,020 --> 00:55:30,119
here tonight but there are a variety of

1340
00:55:30,119 --> 00:55:32,400
strategies and solutions for improving

1341
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:34,440
trains in this corridor

1342
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:37,619
if you were to proceed to uh what would

1343
00:55:37,619 --> 00:55:38,940
be considered bus Rapid Transit there

1344
00:55:38,940 --> 00:55:40,440
are a couple different options to do so

1345
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:43,020
one is Center running bus lanes picture

1346
00:55:43,020 --> 00:55:44,839
on the left is Van Ness in San Francisco

1347
00:55:44,839 --> 00:55:47,099
so that may look familiar a picture on

1348
00:55:47,099 --> 00:55:48,540
the right is actually the recently open

1349
00:55:48,540 --> 00:55:52,500
Tempo uh brt in Downtown Oakland in

1350
00:55:52,500 --> 00:55:54,240
order to place uh dedicated trains at

1351
00:55:54,240 --> 00:55:56,760
Lanes on San Pablo Avenue there would be

1352
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:58,619
a need to convert one of the auto Lanes

1353
00:55:58,619 --> 00:56:01,559
to bus only there's also an opportunity

1354
00:56:01,559 --> 00:56:03,059
to provide bike Lanes on the corridor

1355
00:56:03,059 --> 00:56:04,619
and in order to do so you need to

1356
00:56:04,619 --> 00:56:06,900
convert the existing parking to bike

1357
00:56:06,900 --> 00:56:09,059
Lanes so you could put the buses in the

1358
00:56:09,059 --> 00:56:10,020
middle of the street you can put the

1359
00:56:10,020 --> 00:56:11,160
buses on the side there's a lot of

1360
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:13,380
trade-offs between those options but

1361
00:56:13,380 --> 00:56:15,240
either way it would need to require

1362
00:56:15,240 --> 00:56:18,260
converting a travel Lane

1363
00:56:18,260 --> 00:56:20,940
so a couple of the key findings that

1364
00:56:20,940 --> 00:56:22,680
we've found as part of the studies first

1365
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:25,260
first focusing on Transit we found that

1366
00:56:25,260 --> 00:56:26,940
providing these dedicated Transit Lanes

1367
00:56:26,940 --> 00:56:28,380
would provide very significant benefit

1368
00:56:28,380 --> 00:56:30,780
to travel time so 30 to 45 percent

1369
00:56:30,780 --> 00:56:32,700
benefit and travel time for the bus and

1370
00:56:32,700 --> 00:56:34,380
bus riders

1371
00:56:34,380 --> 00:56:35,700
um Center running does perform a little

1372
00:56:35,700 --> 00:56:37,680
better than side running about 10 faster

1373
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:39,960
however side running is easier to

1374
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:41,819
implement just fewer implementation

1375
00:56:41,819 --> 00:56:44,819
challenges easier faster to implement

1376
00:56:44,819 --> 00:56:46,680
can be used by a wider variety of bus

1377
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,020
routes but Center running does provide

1378
00:56:49,020 --> 00:56:50,460
some additional benefit for providing

1379
00:56:50,460 --> 00:56:52,980
both bus and bike on this Corridor

1380
00:56:52,980 --> 00:56:55,140
because it's a bit more efficient use of

1381
00:56:55,140 --> 00:56:56,040
space

1382
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:57,960
so what we heard when we gave this

1383
00:56:57,960 --> 00:56:59,040
presentation went through all the

1384
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:00,480
trade-offs with the Wake Tech board and

1385
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:02,160
the various cities is there was

1386
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:03,960
widespread support for enhancing Transit

1387
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:06,119
the concept of enhancing Transit but

1388
00:57:06,119 --> 00:57:09,240
there was mixed feedback and reaction in

1389
00:57:09,240 --> 00:57:12,240
terms of do we go big Center running big

1390
00:57:12,240 --> 00:57:15,079
large-scale project or something smaller

1391
00:57:15,079 --> 00:57:18,359
more near-term and there's also some

1392
00:57:18,359 --> 00:57:20,700
concerns about the impacts of us on my

1393
00:57:20,700 --> 00:57:21,839
way and whether it be on traffic or

1394
00:57:21,839 --> 00:57:23,040
access

1395
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:25,559
so definitely it's a mixed reaction

1396
00:57:25,559 --> 00:57:27,660
in terms of bikes we found the bike

1397
00:57:27,660 --> 00:57:29,579
lanes are feasible to be implemented but

1398
00:57:29,579 --> 00:57:31,500
it would require parking removal as I

1399
00:57:31,500 --> 00:57:33,059
had noted parking is currently very

1400
00:57:33,059 --> 00:57:34,920
plentiful and not particularly well

1401
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,559
utilized in most of the corridor but the

1402
00:57:37,559 --> 00:57:38,819
nature of the corridor is changing over

1403
00:57:38,819 --> 00:57:41,640
time is more dense development comes in

1404
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:43,020
one thing we've flagged though is

1405
00:57:43,020 --> 00:57:44,460
providing a protective bike facility

1406
00:57:44,460 --> 00:57:46,800
here would still result in high level of

1407
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:48,300
traffic stress because there's so many

1408
00:57:48,300 --> 00:57:50,339
right turns there's so many driveways so

1409
00:57:50,339 --> 00:57:52,859
many intersections on this corridor so

1410
00:57:52,859 --> 00:57:55,559
what we heard on the bike topic is a uh

1411
00:57:55,559 --> 00:57:58,140
also mixed reaction but more so on

1412
00:57:58,140 --> 00:57:59,880
whether bikes facilities should be on

1413
00:57:59,880 --> 00:58:01,980
San Pablo Avenue itself and dedicate the

1414
00:58:01,980 --> 00:58:04,260
space on the Avenue for it or a bicycle

1415
00:58:04,260 --> 00:58:06,540
facilities should be on parallel streets

1416
00:58:06,540 --> 00:58:08,579
portions of the corridor have good

1417
00:58:08,579 --> 00:58:10,260
parallel streets that could be used

1418
00:58:10,260 --> 00:58:12,359
portions do not and there was some

1419
00:58:12,359 --> 00:58:14,280
concern about the removal of the bike

1420
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:18,950
the parking for the bike facilities

1421
00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:20,940
um and then finally uh pedestrians

1422
00:58:20,940 --> 00:58:23,160
um there is a lot of concern that we

1423
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:24,540
heard around the safety conditions on

1424
00:58:24,540 --> 00:58:26,880
the corridor there is some particular

1425
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:28,980
concern raised for elderly and Mobility

1426
00:58:28,980 --> 00:58:31,440
impaired pedestrians on the corridor we

1427
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:33,300
had identified some specific safety

1428
00:58:33,300 --> 00:58:36,480
Improvement opportunities and those were

1429
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:38,460
really well received there's a lot of

1430
00:58:38,460 --> 00:58:40,140
support we heard from all the cities and

1431
00:58:40,140 --> 00:58:42,059
the board in terms of the need to

1432
00:58:42,059 --> 00:58:44,160
improve pedestrian safety on this

1433
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:47,270
corridor

1434
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:50,400
so in terms of Next Step options

1435
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:53,700
first before diving into what uh what

1436
00:58:53,700 --> 00:58:55,140
can be feasible in Contra Costa County

1437
00:58:55,140 --> 00:58:57,240
many as as we've gone through these

1438
00:58:57,240 --> 00:58:58,500
presentations found it to be helpful to

1439
00:58:58,500 --> 00:58:59,960
understand what Alameda County is doing

1440
00:58:59,960 --> 00:59:02,640
on San Pablo Avenue just south of the

1441
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:04,260
County border

1442
00:59:04,260 --> 00:59:05,940
um so Alameda County is currently

1443
00:59:05,940 --> 00:59:07,680
advancing Alameda County Transportation

1444
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:09,240
Commission is currently advancing three

1445
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:12,059
projects on San Pablo Avenue one is a

1446
00:59:12,059 --> 00:59:13,980
series of safety enhancements in

1447
00:59:13,980 --> 00:59:16,440
Berkeley and Albany that are focused on

1448
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:18,540
pedestrian safety spot improvements to

1449
00:59:18,540 --> 00:59:20,760
improve Crossings of the corridor and

1450
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:22,980
overall pedestrian and bike safety

1451
00:59:22,980 --> 00:59:24,359
conditions

1452
00:59:24,359 --> 00:59:26,760
the second is to provide bus and bike

1453
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:28,619
Lanes on San Pablo Avenue so the lane

1454
00:59:28,619 --> 00:59:31,220
conversion that I talked about earlier

1455
00:59:31,220 --> 00:59:33,780
and that would be in Oakland Emeryville

1456
00:59:33,780 --> 00:59:36,839
and South Berkeley that includes uh also

1457
00:59:36,839 --> 00:59:39,180
safety improvements in another Crossing

1458
00:59:39,180 --> 00:59:42,540
improvements and then thirdly in in

1459
00:59:42,540 --> 00:59:44,160
Albany and Berkeley where there would

1460
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:46,559
not be the bike project on San Pablo

1461
00:59:46,559 --> 00:59:48,420
Avenue there will be improvements on the

1462
00:59:48,420 --> 00:59:50,579
parallel Network that doesn't close the

1463
00:59:50,579 --> 00:59:52,500
door on continuing the bus lane and bike

1464
00:59:52,500 --> 00:59:54,420
lane on San Pablo to the County border

1465
00:59:54,420 --> 00:59:56,940
but the immediate Focus was on these

1466
00:59:56,940 --> 01:00:01,370
near term parallel Network improvements

1467
01:00:01,380 --> 01:00:04,020
so that said the a couple elements or

1468
01:00:04,020 --> 01:00:06,240
options were presented to the WIC Tac

1469
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:09,359
board element one or these are kind of

1470
01:00:09,359 --> 01:00:10,980
packages of projects are ways to proceed

1471
01:00:10,980 --> 01:00:13,440
element one is multimodal safety

1472
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:15,660
improvements and so these would be a

1473
01:00:15,660 --> 01:00:17,760
series of spot improvements to improve

1474
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:20,819
pedestrian safety on the corridor

1475
01:00:20,819 --> 01:00:22,440
um some work would still be needed to

1476
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:24,240
figure out exactly what those projects

1477
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:27,180
would be and the WIC Tac board and with

1478
01:00:27,180 --> 01:00:30,540
tech staff has requested CCTA to serve

1479
01:00:30,540 --> 01:00:33,059
as a design and implementation lead for

1480
01:00:33,059 --> 01:00:35,400
that effort given the additional history

1481
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,680
and experience with implementation for

1482
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:40,140
CCTA relative to Wake Tech

1483
01:00:40,140 --> 01:00:42,359
money is still needed for outreach

1484
01:00:42,359 --> 01:00:44,720
design construction of these facilities

1485
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:47,299
but there is a clear and present need

1486
01:00:47,299 --> 01:00:50,220
that the board and various cities have

1487
01:00:50,220 --> 01:00:52,680
identified for these safety improvements

1488
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:56,520
element two is uh was the providing a

1489
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:58,440
bus lane demonstration project on a

1490
01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:00,119
portion of the corridor and the board

1491
01:01:00,119 --> 01:01:01,980
felt that continued discussion was

1492
01:01:01,980 --> 01:01:04,700
needed in order to further flesh out

1493
01:01:04,700 --> 01:01:07,260
this type of project and understand the

1494
01:01:07,260 --> 01:01:08,579
level of support for this type of

1495
01:01:08,579 --> 01:01:09,660
project

1496
01:01:09,660 --> 01:01:11,280
so diving into each of these a little

1497
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:13,020
bit greater detail

1498
01:01:13,020 --> 01:01:15,720
so element one is the priority safety

1499
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:17,220
improvements there will be a wide

1500
01:01:17,220 --> 01:01:18,599
variety of pedestrian safety

1501
01:01:18,599 --> 01:01:20,160
improvements we have a map that was in

1502
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:21,599
the presentation we gave to the WIC

1503
01:01:21,599 --> 01:01:22,920
attack board that showed potential

1504
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:24,960
locations for these but things like

1505
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:27,119
signalized Crossings New median beacons

1506
01:01:27,119 --> 01:01:28,940
better striping better lighting

1507
01:01:28,940 --> 01:01:31,680
accessibility upgrades curb ramps and

1508
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:33,660
accessibility improvements bulb outs

1509
01:01:33,660 --> 01:01:36,059
improved safety and improving the bus

1510
01:01:36,059 --> 01:01:38,280
stops on bus stop access from the

1511
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:40,849
corridor

1512
01:01:40,859 --> 01:01:42,240
um so we've identified over 70

1513
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:44,520
improvements that 40 to 45 intersections

1514
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:46,799
for safety improvements

1515
01:01:46,799 --> 01:01:48,420
um and these kind of each have their own

1516
01:01:48,420 --> 01:01:50,339
independent utility so implementation

1517
01:01:50,339 --> 01:01:52,980
can be phased and prioritized as money

1518
01:01:52,980 --> 01:01:55,940
and uh and resources allow

1519
01:01:55,940 --> 01:01:57,839
CCTA and whitak have talked about

1520
01:01:57,839 --> 01:01:59,520
partnering to identify funding and

1521
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:01,920
conduct Outreach we're very very very

1522
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:03,839
very early in terms of identifying

1523
01:02:03,839 --> 01:02:05,460
specific projects but we have some

1524
01:02:05,460 --> 01:02:07,680
initial thoughts about rough funding

1525
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:10,500
estimate for that and as I said funding

1526
01:02:10,500 --> 01:02:12,299
is not currently allocated to this

1527
01:02:12,299 --> 01:02:13,200
project

1528
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:14,819
and we will need partnership from local

1529
01:02:14,819 --> 01:02:19,319
jurisdictions to to move this forward

1530
01:02:19,319 --> 01:02:22,559
for element two this is as I noted would

1531
01:02:22,559 --> 01:02:24,180
be contingent on further support and

1532
01:02:24,180 --> 01:02:26,339
discussions at the city level and with

1533
01:02:26,339 --> 01:02:28,799
AC transit AC transit's currently doing

1534
01:02:28,799 --> 01:02:30,839
an operational analysis and reassessment

1535
01:02:30,839 --> 01:02:32,700
of its system I think the findings of

1536
01:02:32,700 --> 01:02:35,220
that could influence the the future

1537
01:02:35,220 --> 01:02:36,660
operations of bus service in this

1538
01:02:36,660 --> 01:02:38,339
Corridor which would be good to fold

1539
01:02:38,339 --> 01:02:40,680
into this type of project so we've

1540
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:42,240
identified that maybe it makes sense for

1541
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:44,160
a one to two mile initial bus lane

1542
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:46,559
segment but a lot further discussion is

1543
01:02:46,559 --> 01:02:48,599
needed before that can advance one of

1544
01:02:48,599 --> 01:02:50,819
those elements of discussion prior to

1545
01:02:50,819 --> 01:02:52,380
move forward is really that public

1546
01:02:52,380 --> 01:02:54,720
engagement part it's been a bit since

1547
01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:56,400
we've done public engagement for this

1548
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:58,859
specific part of the corridor and so for

1549
01:02:58,859 --> 01:03:00,180
their public engagement would be

1550
01:03:00,180 --> 01:03:03,420
beneficial to identify the the exact

1551
01:03:03,420 --> 01:03:06,710
nature of the project to advance

1552
01:03:06,720 --> 01:03:09,780
and uh that actually concludes the

1553
01:03:09,780 --> 01:03:11,220
presentation happy to answer any

1554
01:03:11,220 --> 01:03:13,200
questions thank you

1555
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:14,579
thank you

1556
01:03:14,579 --> 01:03:17,940
do we have any Commissioners hey I see

1557
01:03:17,940 --> 01:03:21,170
fideli and Kelly

1558
01:03:21,180 --> 01:03:25,020
yes thank you I just want to concur with

1559
01:03:25,020 --> 01:03:28,380
the presentation uh tonight because it

1560
01:03:28,380 --> 01:03:31,799
it truly is a classic example of urban

1561
01:03:31,799 --> 01:03:34,859
transformation in every respect every

1562
01:03:34,859 --> 01:03:36,780
city is different every mile is

1563
01:03:36,780 --> 01:03:38,339
different the widths are different there

1564
01:03:38,339 --> 01:03:40,079
are two BART stations we have parallel

1565
01:03:40,079 --> 01:03:44,099
bike Lanes so the needs are complex in

1566
01:03:44,099 --> 01:03:46,980
every way we can imagine go bold is one

1567
01:03:46,980 --> 01:03:49,980
thing do many safety projects was

1568
01:03:49,980 --> 01:03:52,619
another but one thing everyone could

1569
01:03:52,619 --> 01:03:54,900
agree with that Wick tack was on safety

1570
01:03:54,900 --> 01:03:57,119
so we appreciate the safety priority

1571
01:03:57,119 --> 01:03:59,819
here first and I want to thank CCTA

1572
01:03:59,819 --> 01:04:01,980
because on Friday WIC attack will be

1573
01:04:01,980 --> 01:04:04,260
approving its work plan which includes

1574
01:04:04,260 --> 01:04:06,599
continued discussions with CCT on how we

1575
01:04:06,599 --> 01:04:09,480
can work together to make safety In Our

1576
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:11,819
Lifetime better on San Pablo Avenue

1577
01:04:11,819 --> 01:04:14,220
because for El Cerrito it's our downtown

1578
01:04:14,220 --> 01:04:16,619
and that's not a dance so taking away

1579
01:04:16,619 --> 01:04:19,020
parking is detrimental to our businesses

1580
01:04:19,020 --> 01:04:21,540
every city has a different concept so

1581
01:04:21,540 --> 01:04:23,220
thank you for continuing this and thanks

1582
01:04:23,220 --> 01:04:25,500
for the effort of CCTA appreciate that

1583
01:04:25,500 --> 01:04:28,920
okay well remember Kelly

1584
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:31,079
um yes Mr dankford nice to see you in

1585
01:04:31,079 --> 01:04:32,099
person

1586
01:04:32,099 --> 01:04:33,780
um I've seen Ed WIC Tech I've seen your

1587
01:04:33,780 --> 01:04:35,660
presentation several times and I want to

1588
01:04:35,660 --> 01:04:37,859
congratulate you for all this work I

1589
01:04:37,859 --> 01:04:39,599
mean this quarter is kind of a monster

1590
01:04:39,599 --> 01:04:42,420
you know in terms of everybody wants

1591
01:04:42,420 --> 01:04:44,760
everything on San Pablo Avenue it's a

1592
01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:47,520
major arterial AC Transit runs their

1593
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:49,980
rapid bus up and down it's used quite a

1594
01:04:49,980 --> 01:04:52,380
lot safety is a big concern and so I

1595
01:04:52,380 --> 01:04:54,660
concur with commissioner fideli that

1596
01:04:54,660 --> 01:04:57,299
safety is of the most important thing to

1597
01:04:57,299 --> 01:04:59,700
do right now absolutely

1598
01:04:59,700 --> 01:05:01,500
um as as I have said at the WIC tech

1599
01:05:01,500 --> 01:05:04,319
board as far as element number two and

1600
01:05:04,319 --> 01:05:06,780
what might come after that I think we

1601
01:05:06,780 --> 01:05:09,000
have to really listen to what AC Transit

1602
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:11,400
wants and is willing to do and I think

1603
01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:13,859
we also have to pay attention to Alameda

1604
01:05:13,859 --> 01:05:16,079
County Transit and see if they want to

1605
01:05:16,079 --> 01:05:19,799
run some kind of brt side or Center

1606
01:05:19,799 --> 01:05:21,599
um you know whatever they decide because

1607
01:05:21,599 --> 01:05:23,339
we can't do something that's completely

1608
01:05:23,339 --> 01:05:25,559
different from what they do it would

1609
01:05:25,559 --> 01:05:28,140
just be too difficult and I must say I

1610
01:05:28,140 --> 01:05:30,000
do have some concerns and I've expressed

1611
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,040
this before about

1612
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:35,579
um bike Lanes on San Pablo Avenue if we

1613
01:05:35,579 --> 01:05:37,380
have a whole lot of these other elements

1614
01:05:37,380 --> 01:05:39,599
put in I'm really concerned about safety

1615
01:05:39,599 --> 01:05:42,000
so um

1616
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:43,980
we'll see what happens but thank you for

1617
01:05:43,980 --> 01:05:46,140
your work on this and trying to to make

1618
01:05:46,140 --> 01:05:49,789
it clear to all of us

1619
01:05:49,799 --> 01:05:52,619
remember South thank you Mr chair uh

1620
01:05:52,619 --> 01:05:54,660
Adam thanks for the presentation this uh

1621
01:05:54,660 --> 01:05:56,280
this is my first whack at this project

1622
01:05:56,280 --> 01:05:59,640
so I am impressed by the scope and

1623
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:01,200
complexity of this and the number of

1624
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:03,000
agencies that are involved so

1625
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:06,299
congratulations on hurting the cats

1626
01:06:06,299 --> 01:06:09,000
um I I have um a couple questions one is

1627
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:12,059
I want to Echo that the safety issues

1628
01:06:12,059 --> 01:06:14,880
seem Paramount because the statistics

1629
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:16,859
that were collected as part of the study

1630
01:06:16,859 --> 01:06:19,440
are a little bit horrifying and I think

1631
01:06:19,440 --> 01:06:22,079
if we mean what we say with vision zero

1632
01:06:22,079 --> 01:06:24,780
we really should go after uh the safety

1633
01:06:24,780 --> 01:06:28,200
improvements my second question goes to

1634
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:30,960
um when were what does current

1635
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:33,720
conditions mean when were they assessed

1636
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:36,140
because with covid and with the changing

1637
01:06:36,140 --> 01:06:39,900
in people's commuting and travel habits

1638
01:06:39,900 --> 01:06:42,180
uh you know it begs the question well

1639
01:06:42,180 --> 01:06:44,400
are the the statistics on the cars

1640
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:46,079
current are the statistics on the need

1641
01:06:46,079 --> 01:06:49,920
for uh on-street parking current

1642
01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:52,500
um can you just help me understand when

1643
01:06:52,500 --> 01:06:55,440
that snapshot was taken yeah so we have

1644
01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:57,119
data from a variety of periods a lot of

1645
01:06:57,119 --> 01:07:00,960
it was pre-pandemic in terms of some of

1646
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:04,200
the bus uh information and the vehicle

1647
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:06,059
volume information was a lot of that was

1648
01:07:06,059 --> 01:07:07,859
pre-pandemic parking information was

1649
01:07:07,859 --> 01:07:10,319
pre-pandemic the bulk this study was

1650
01:07:10,319 --> 01:07:12,359
done kind of law well patterns are still

1651
01:07:12,359 --> 01:07:15,240
evolving but while recovery from the

1652
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:17,819
pandemic was still occurring so some of

1653
01:07:17,819 --> 01:07:19,559
the safety data is more recent in terms

1654
01:07:19,559 --> 01:07:21,539
of collision history and whatnot but a

1655
01:07:21,539 --> 01:07:23,099
lot of the kind of parking vehicle

1656
01:07:23,099 --> 01:07:25,079
information was pre-pandemic and yeah we

1657
01:07:25,079 --> 01:07:26,520
do recognize you you raise a good point

1658
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:28,500
that patterns have changed out of the

1659
01:07:28,500 --> 01:07:31,140
quarterback and and does does this sort

1660
01:07:31,140 --> 01:07:32,880
of incremental approach that appears to

1661
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:35,039
be being taken kind of address that that

1662
01:07:35,039 --> 01:07:38,579
will be getting data in real time

1663
01:07:38,579 --> 01:07:40,680
yeah and you know I think we're still

1664
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:43,920
early on in this project and so um as

1665
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:45,780
part of that next phase you know we

1666
01:07:45,780 --> 01:07:47,579
would recommend is we're prioritizing

1667
01:07:47,579 --> 01:07:49,859
certain spot improvements to do a deeper

1668
01:07:49,859 --> 01:07:51,539
and refresh dive into some of the data

1669
01:07:51,539 --> 01:07:53,160
to make sure that we're focusing on the

1670
01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:55,140
areas of greatest need but there's

1671
01:07:55,140 --> 01:07:56,700
really an opportunity to do that as part

1672
01:07:56,700 --> 01:07:59,280
of development and then if I may just

1673
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:00,839
ask one more question and following up

1674
01:08:00,839 --> 01:08:04,319
on commissioner Kelly's Point um uh the

1675
01:08:04,319 --> 01:08:06,660
the issue of bike Lanes I mean what I I

1676
01:08:06,660 --> 01:08:09,240
didn't see and I might have missed it uh

1677
01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:12,420
what the data is on the use of whatever

1678
01:08:12,420 --> 01:08:15,420
bike Lanes there are now what the

1679
01:08:15,420 --> 01:08:16,980
anticipated use would be because I would

1680
01:08:16,980 --> 01:08:18,420
think that that would go to the question

1681
01:08:18,420 --> 01:08:21,299
of does one even consider putting it

1682
01:08:21,299 --> 01:08:23,580
right on putting them on San Pablo or

1683
01:08:23,580 --> 01:08:26,699
thinking about a a parallel path which

1684
01:08:26,699 --> 01:08:29,279
which from a stress standpoint seems

1685
01:08:29,279 --> 01:08:31,380
Seems more desirable

1686
01:08:31,380 --> 01:08:33,179
yeah so the the bike Lanes on the

1687
01:08:33,179 --> 01:08:34,560
corridor today are very discontinuous

1688
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:37,440
and many ones that exist uh would not be

1689
01:08:37,440 --> 01:08:39,540
comfortable except for the most Fearless

1690
01:08:39,540 --> 01:08:41,040
of cyclists

1691
01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:43,020
um and so I wouldn't uh suggest reading

1692
01:08:43,020 --> 01:08:44,699
too much into existing usage of the bike

1693
01:08:44,699 --> 01:08:46,560
Lanes today

1694
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:48,660
um city of San Pablo has a project that

1695
01:08:48,660 --> 01:08:50,400
they're hoping to advance to improve

1696
01:08:50,400 --> 01:08:53,520
their bike bike Lanes in their City El

1697
01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:54,839
Cerrito has put in some new facilities

1698
01:08:54,839 --> 01:08:57,000
but it's it's a bit hot hodgepodge and

1699
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:59,940
different location by location

1700
01:08:59,940 --> 01:09:01,500
um we found that

1701
01:09:01,500 --> 01:09:02,940
um really set the southern half in

1702
01:09:02,940 --> 01:09:04,679
Contra Costa County has a really good

1703
01:09:04,679 --> 01:09:06,060
parallel facility in the East Bay

1704
01:09:06,060 --> 01:09:07,859
Greenway or some of the other parallel

1705
01:09:07,859 --> 01:09:10,739
streets do provide a parallel facility

1706
01:09:10,739 --> 01:09:12,359
but then once you get to the northern

1707
01:09:12,359 --> 01:09:15,420
portion in San Pablo and up by Hilltop

1708
01:09:15,420 --> 01:09:17,219
Mall there really is no parallel Street

1709
01:09:17,219 --> 01:09:20,160
at all and so I think the bike solution

1710
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:23,100
is going to really warrant a segment by

1711
01:09:23,100 --> 01:09:24,719
segment look to figure out the best

1712
01:09:24,719 --> 01:09:30,709
solution there okay thank you

1713
01:09:30,719 --> 01:09:31,440
um

1714
01:09:31,440 --> 01:09:35,339
I'm not from West County but I'm old

1715
01:09:35,339 --> 01:09:37,859
enough to have actually seen the key

1716
01:09:37,859 --> 01:09:40,080
Training System still run on the Bay

1717
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:42,060
Bridge I'm not old enough because it

1718
01:09:42,060 --> 01:09:45,120
stopped in 1948 on San Pablo but the

1719
01:09:45,120 --> 01:09:46,500
tracks are still being removed when I

1720
01:09:46,500 --> 01:09:48,179
was a kid

1721
01:09:48,179 --> 01:09:49,980
um and it's like we're trying to rebuild

1722
01:09:49,980 --> 01:09:51,179
that system

1723
01:09:51,179 --> 01:09:52,859
the reason why it works so well is dead

1724
01:09:52,859 --> 01:09:54,960
center fixed tracks

1725
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:57,000
you know Richmond to Downtown Oakland

1726
01:09:57,000 --> 01:09:59,280
you could go to Berkeley take University

1727
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:01,560
Avenue you can either go to the campus

1728
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:04,260
or you went out on the pier caught the

1729
01:10:04,260 --> 01:10:06,179
like my uncle did didn't catch the pier

1730
01:10:06,179 --> 01:10:08,580
and go teach College in San Francisco as

1731
01:10:08,580 --> 01:10:10,739
you rode the ferry cross

1732
01:10:10,739 --> 01:10:11,820
um I I would just make one

1733
01:10:11,820 --> 01:10:13,860
recommendation and and the reason why I

1734
01:10:13,860 --> 01:10:16,020
preface it what was there

1735
01:10:16,020 --> 01:10:18,600
and and for those of you that live there

1736
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:19,739
and work there

1737
01:10:19,739 --> 01:10:22,020
your challenge and you've said it as a

1738
01:10:22,020 --> 01:10:23,880
as a consultant you need to have one

1739
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:25,440
system that goes point A to point B

1740
01:10:25,440 --> 01:10:28,020
right now there is a hodgepodge

1741
01:10:28,020 --> 01:10:29,940
everybody has their own idea and if you

1742
01:10:29,940 --> 01:10:31,980
don't come up with one solution

1743
01:10:31,980 --> 01:10:33,780
you're just going to make it worse it's

1744
01:10:33,780 --> 01:10:36,659
a mess you can't use that road for much

1745
01:10:36,659 --> 01:10:38,940
of anything because it's everything

1746
01:10:38,940 --> 01:10:41,760
changes as you go along and what used to

1747
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:43,560
make it work it was so consistently

1748
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:46,380
designed it was one idea one Theory

1749
01:10:46,380 --> 01:10:47,940
and I think we all know in

1750
01:10:47,940 --> 01:10:49,140
transportation

1751
01:10:49,140 --> 01:10:51,360
whether it be multimodal the more

1752
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:53,400
consistent is the more successful it is

1753
01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:55,380
you've had a lot of street with there

1754
01:10:55,380 --> 01:10:57,300
was this huge median that was put in

1755
01:10:57,300 --> 01:10:59,340
which is where the tracks used to be and

1756
01:10:59,340 --> 01:11:00,960
there's a lot of trees in there you know

1757
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:03,060
don't forget as you redo this one of the

1758
01:11:03,060 --> 01:11:04,580
things that hurts

1759
01:11:04,580 --> 01:11:09,060
that Corridor it's the visual beauty of

1760
01:11:09,060 --> 01:11:10,860
it is missing in a lot of places because

1761
01:11:10,860 --> 01:11:12,960
there's no Street trees and the street

1762
01:11:12,960 --> 01:11:15,620
trees can fit in all of these plans so

1763
01:11:15,620 --> 01:11:18,179
consistent plan from point A to point B

1764
01:11:18,179 --> 01:11:21,360
and and yeah you got to deal with bikes

1765
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:23,159
but if it's a if it's to make safety

1766
01:11:23,159 --> 01:11:24,239
improvements

1767
01:11:24,239 --> 01:11:26,460
make safety improvements and it may or

1768
01:11:26,460 --> 01:11:28,560
may not include bikes all the way

1769
01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:30,239
then that's how I would look at it and

1770
01:11:30,239 --> 01:11:32,460
put the trees in please and put them

1771
01:11:32,460 --> 01:11:34,080
back

1772
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:37,390
okay

1773
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:40,500
thank you I was just going to add what

1774
01:11:40,500 --> 01:11:43,260
complicates it even more is the two big

1775
01:11:43,260 --> 01:11:45,239
projects at the BART station one is

1776
01:11:45,239 --> 01:11:46,620
complete streets that we're working

1777
01:11:46,620 --> 01:11:48,239
through and getting money from a variety

1778
01:11:48,239 --> 01:11:51,060
of sources and the huge Tod project at

1779
01:11:51,060 --> 01:11:52,620
the plaza where there's a different

1780
01:11:52,620 --> 01:11:55,020
planning so a lot of different plans a

1781
01:11:55,020 --> 01:11:57,719
lot of investment already so that adds

1782
01:11:57,719 --> 01:11:58,980
to the confusion of how do we be

1783
01:11:58,980 --> 01:12:00,719
consistent all the way down so it's

1784
01:12:00,719 --> 01:12:03,000
going to be difficult to ask but safety

1785
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:07,729
we can do

1786
01:12:07,739 --> 01:12:11,340
nurse anyone in the board Chambers

1787
01:12:11,340 --> 01:12:13,460
from the public

1788
01:12:13,460 --> 01:12:17,830
seeing none do we have any remote

1789
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:20,820
no public comment written or verbal

1790
01:12:20,820 --> 01:12:23,640
okay again this was the informational

1791
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:25,320
item

1792
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:27,780
want to thank Matt and Adam for their

1793
01:12:27,780 --> 01:12:32,870
presentation tonight

1794
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:36,300
hey that concludes our regular agenda

1795
01:12:36,300 --> 01:12:39,239
items and we have no correspondence that

1796
01:12:39,239 --> 01:12:42,540
are in the package next is associated

1797
01:12:42,540 --> 01:12:45,300
committee reports

1798
01:12:45,300 --> 01:12:49,040
and those reports are from trans plan

1799
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:53,100
transpac westcat and a consolation

1800
01:12:53,100 --> 01:12:56,340
notice from SWAT that are provided in

1801
01:12:56,340 --> 01:12:59,169
your packet

1802
01:12:59,179 --> 01:13:02,580
now we will have board comments if there

1803
01:13:02,580 --> 01:13:04,739
are any members of the board I have none

1804
01:13:04,739 --> 01:13:09,169
tonight is there any other member

1805
01:13:09,179 --> 01:13:12,900
KC none we will move to

1806
01:13:12,900 --> 01:13:14,159
um

1807
01:13:14,159 --> 01:13:15,480
staff

1808
01:13:15,480 --> 01:13:17,340
comments

1809
01:13:17,340 --> 01:13:20,159
thank you thank you for running a very

1810
01:13:20,159 --> 01:13:22,140
efficient meeting this evening

1811
01:13:22,140 --> 01:13:25,380
we're one hour and 37 minutes so in the

1812
01:13:25,380 --> 01:13:27,420
spirit of CCTA under promise and over

1813
01:13:27,420 --> 01:13:29,930
deliver

1814
01:13:29,940 --> 01:13:33,550
Ed

1815
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:36,239
now I have more time for my executive

1816
01:13:36,239 --> 01:13:39,950
director report

1817
01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:41,699
um well I'm going to start off with some

1818
01:13:41,699 --> 01:13:43,440
some good news I just want to quickly

1819
01:13:43,440 --> 01:13:46,440
recognize our CFO Brian Keller he

1820
01:13:46,440 --> 01:13:47,820
celebrated last week his 10-year

1821
01:13:47,820 --> 01:13:51,120
anniversary with CCTA so as you all know

1822
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:52,760
he's very valuable to the team

1823
01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:55,199
congratulations we're very happy to have

1824
01:13:55,199 --> 01:13:57,719
him here and hope that he'll stay for

1825
01:13:57,719 --> 01:13:59,760
many years to come

1826
01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:03,300
um and the sad news is we're losing one

1827
01:14:03,300 --> 01:14:05,280
of our team members Lindsey Willis our

1828
01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:06,659
director General Affairs this will be

1829
01:14:06,659 --> 01:14:09,480
her last board meeting with us so she is

1830
01:14:09,480 --> 01:14:12,360
moving on to Tiger construction

1831
01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:14,580
um and so we'll be looking for good low

1832
01:14:14,580 --> 01:14:16,920
bids from tiger in the future

1833
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:20,040
and be very she'll be very moving very

1834
01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:22,679
close to family so which is really good

1835
01:14:22,679 --> 01:14:24,600
for her and Noah and everyone so we're

1836
01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:27,000
really excited for her so we're really

1837
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:30,659
actually very very sad to see her go so

1838
01:14:30,659 --> 01:14:33,900
um and then to kind of help fill the Gap

1839
01:14:33,900 --> 01:14:36,780
until we find a new candidate which we

1840
01:14:36,780 --> 01:14:38,940
just a quick update we already flew an

1841
01:14:38,940 --> 01:14:41,219
advertisement for the position last week

1842
01:14:41,219 --> 01:14:43,440
so we've been getting a lot of great

1843
01:14:43,440 --> 01:14:46,500
interest into the position thank you to

1844
01:14:46,500 --> 01:14:47,820
Lindsay for all the great marketing

1845
01:14:47,820 --> 01:14:49,080
there

1846
01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:51,540
um and so Luna saliver is going to be

1847
01:14:51,540 --> 01:14:53,520
kind of stepping in and you may some of

1848
01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:55,920
you may know her she actually helped

1849
01:14:55,920 --> 01:15:00,719
during Lindsay's maternity leave so she

1850
01:15:00,719 --> 01:15:02,280
was stepping in during that time to kind

1851
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:04,080
of fill in the gap of Lindsay and so

1852
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:05,880
she'll be stepping in front by for the

1853
01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:08,340
next three to four months just to help

1854
01:15:08,340 --> 01:15:10,440
guide and oversee all our our wonderful

1855
01:15:10,440 --> 01:15:12,000
public Outreach consultants and work

1856
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:14,219
with staff on a daily basis so we're

1857
01:15:14,219 --> 01:15:16,800
excited and grateful to have Luna back

1858
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:19,020
as part of the team

1859
01:15:19,020 --> 01:15:21,120
um and then some other

1860
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:22,679
um maybe kind of start with some good

1861
01:15:22,679 --> 01:15:24,060
news

1862
01:15:24,060 --> 01:15:25,679
um I know you've heard me talk about the

1863
01:15:25,679 --> 01:15:28,679
on the patio podcast so that has been

1864
01:15:28,679 --> 01:15:30,540
officially launched so we are now doing

1865
01:15:30,540 --> 01:15:32,480
a campaign so you can actually go to

1866
01:15:32,480 --> 01:15:35,400
anywhere you want to get your podcast

1867
01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:37,800
um Apple podcast anywhere and download

1868
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:39,620
the podcast there's four episodes now

1869
01:15:39,620 --> 01:15:42,060
and lots of good information in there

1870
01:15:42,060 --> 01:15:44,100
about CCTA and it's been it's actually

1871
01:15:44,100 --> 01:15:46,020
been a really good tool for for me and

1872
01:15:46,020 --> 01:15:48,900
for us to really kind of promote CCTA to

1873
01:15:48,900 --> 01:15:51,060
the general public and I know it's been

1874
01:15:51,060 --> 01:15:52,440
getting a lot of likes and followings

1875
01:15:52,440 --> 01:15:55,800
already so really excited about that

1876
01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:58,860
um and then other good news uh I sent an

1877
01:15:58,860 --> 01:16:01,260
email on this but we did receive another

1878
01:16:01,260 --> 01:16:04,140
Grant so a couple weeks ago

1879
01:16:04,140 --> 01:16:06,300
the award announcements came out for a

1880
01:16:06,300 --> 01:16:07,860
trade quarter enhancement programs we

1881
01:16:07,860 --> 01:16:10,560
got 19.7 million dollars for the San

1882
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:13,739
Pablo Avenue or San Pablo San Pablo Dam

1883
01:16:13,739 --> 01:16:16,500
Road and

1884
01:16:16,500 --> 01:16:17,760
and so we're excited about that because

1885
01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:19,199
they can move that project forward and

1886
01:16:19,199 --> 01:16:21,060
it's really critical

1887
01:16:21,060 --> 01:16:23,760
um and it's a really clear safety issue

1888
01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:26,219
with the low vertical clearance with the

1889
01:16:26,219 --> 01:16:28,739
trucks as well as some major safety

1890
01:16:28,739 --> 01:16:30,480
concerns around the interchange with the

1891
01:16:30,480 --> 01:16:32,760
very closed abutments at the shoulder

1892
01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:34,920
and so it's very narrow through there

1893
01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:36,480
and so we're excited to move that

1894
01:16:36,480 --> 01:16:37,679
project forward the other thing that

1895
01:16:37,679 --> 01:16:40,440
also happened is we worked closely with

1896
01:16:40,440 --> 01:16:42,239
UC Berkeley to submit on a center of

1897
01:16:42,239 --> 01:16:45,179
excellence Federal highways Grant so

1898
01:16:45,179 --> 01:16:46,140
we're really excited about the

1899
01:16:46,140 --> 01:16:49,080
opportunity there with UC Berkeley some

1900
01:16:49,080 --> 01:16:52,080
project updates we um

1901
01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:55,140
just in your packet you may have glanced

1902
01:16:55,140 --> 01:16:56,400
through them but there's some there's a

1903
01:16:56,400 --> 01:16:58,199
couple of really good presentations in

1904
01:16:58,199 --> 01:17:01,080
the consent the consent items on on

1905
01:17:01,080 --> 01:17:04,980
innovate 680 and also Highway 4 Vision I

1906
01:17:04,980 --> 01:17:05,940
know we were trying to kind of keep

1907
01:17:05,940 --> 01:17:07,800
today's shortest part you know it saves

1908
01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:09,480
time so we've moved those to consent but

1909
01:17:09,480 --> 01:17:10,860
there's some really good information in

1910
01:17:10,860 --> 01:17:12,600
there about some of those some of the

1911
01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:14,820
work plan items for the next two to

1912
01:17:14,820 --> 01:17:18,080
three years on innovate 680 very very

1913
01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:20,580
succinct and then also the work we're

1914
01:17:20,580 --> 01:17:22,620
doing on on the highway for vision and

1915
01:17:22,620 --> 01:17:24,960
Corridor study and then as part of

1916
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:27,179
innovate 680

1917
01:17:27,179 --> 01:17:29,100
um Stephanie and Stephanie who and I are

1918
01:17:29,100 --> 01:17:30,600
director of projects

1919
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:32,699
um last week actually went to Australia

1920
01:17:32,699 --> 01:17:36,840
to um visit four different states

1921
01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:39,179
um in in three different department of

1922
01:17:39,179 --> 01:17:40,679
transportations

1923
01:17:40,679 --> 01:17:42,179
um and we were there to basically look

1924
01:17:42,179 --> 01:17:44,460
at their smart freeway program if they

1925
01:17:44,460 --> 01:17:47,219
have a very robust program in terms of

1926
01:17:47,219 --> 01:17:50,640
really leveraging data and Technology to

1927
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:53,280
really optimize their existing corridors

1928
01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:55,620
and so through this technology they've

1929
01:17:55,620 --> 01:17:58,140
been able to realize anywhere from 20 to

1930
01:17:58,140 --> 01:17:59,760
30 percent more efficiency in their

1931
01:17:59,760 --> 01:18:03,000
corridors I actually got to drive in one

1932
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:05,520
of the corridors in Melbourne on the M1

1933
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:07,860
it has the same level of traffic that

1934
01:18:07,860 --> 01:18:10,440
i-680 does and the only place that we

1935
01:18:10,440 --> 01:18:12,420
actually stopped was actually a freeway

1936
01:18:12,420 --> 01:18:14,460
to freeway connector rant meter and

1937
01:18:14,460 --> 01:18:16,080
everything else was free-flowing at 45

1938
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:18,140
miles an hour during peak hour traffic

1939
01:18:18,140 --> 01:18:21,120
and so it was really exciting to see how

1940
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:23,100
they're really leveraging technology and

1941
01:18:23,100 --> 01:18:25,679
and optimizing their freeway system was

1942
01:18:25,679 --> 01:18:27,060
also exciting their offer creation

1943
01:18:27,060 --> 01:18:30,560
centers they literally had one person

1944
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:33,179
looking and managing their smart freeway

1945
01:18:33,179 --> 01:18:34,980
components of their of the of the of the

1946
01:18:34,980 --> 01:18:37,199
system and so not only is if it's

1947
01:18:37,199 --> 01:18:39,000
efficient

1948
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:40,920
um but it's also

1949
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:42,840
um efficient from a staff and resource

1950
01:18:42,840 --> 01:18:45,300
perspective and so I could geek out on

1951
01:18:45,300 --> 01:18:46,679
this for hours

1952
01:18:46,679 --> 01:18:48,780
um so I will stop there but it was a

1953
01:18:48,780 --> 01:18:51,060
very very helpful trip to really think

1954
01:18:51,060 --> 01:18:52,320
about how we are bringing that

1955
01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:53,820
technology we're already implementing

1956
01:18:53,820 --> 01:18:55,320
some of that technology in the innovate

1957
01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:57,659
680 program as part of the Cooperative

1958
01:18:57,659 --> 01:18:59,820
adaptive rant metering project and so it

1959
01:18:59,820 --> 01:19:02,159
was good to see firsthand the vision the

1960
01:19:02,159 --> 01:19:04,620
implementation the best practices as

1961
01:19:04,620 --> 01:19:06,360
it's been expanded and adopted across

1962
01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:08,100
throughout the entire country and how

1963
01:19:08,100 --> 01:19:09,060
we're being we're going to bring all

1964
01:19:09,060 --> 01:19:10,800
that information back and apply it into

1965
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:12,719
the 680 Corridor

1966
01:19:12,719 --> 01:19:14,520
um also quickly I know some of you are

1967
01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:16,860
interested in the fairy study so on the

1968
01:19:16,860 --> 01:19:18,540
ferry study we've we've kicked off

1969
01:19:18,540 --> 01:19:20,640
McDonald on that

1970
01:19:20,640 --> 01:19:22,199
um it's going to be about nine months to

1971
01:19:22,199 --> 01:19:24,120
complete the ferry study we're targeting

1972
01:19:24,120 --> 01:19:26,219
to have it done early next year

1973
01:19:26,219 --> 01:19:27,840
um Ying Smith our director of programs

1974
01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:30,780
is leading the effort on that and so we

1975
01:19:30,780 --> 01:19:32,460
actually just had a big kickoff meeting

1976
01:19:32,460 --> 01:19:34,980
with the transit operators and all the

1977
01:19:34,980 --> 01:19:37,260
stakeholders to start going into a data

1978
01:19:37,260 --> 01:19:39,480
collection mode for each of the

1979
01:19:39,480 --> 01:19:42,719
individual potential stops in locations

1980
01:19:42,719 --> 01:19:44,460
and so we can start assessing the ferry

1981
01:19:44,460 --> 01:19:46,760
service for all those locations

1982
01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:50,520
the other thing that we have is

1983
01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:52,620
um the operations update so now we're

1984
01:19:52,620 --> 01:19:54,239
kind of in the operations game so I

1985
01:19:54,239 --> 01:19:55,920
wanted to kind of maybe provide a quick

1986
01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:58,580
update on the Presto shuttle so Presto

1987
01:19:58,580 --> 01:20:01,320
continues to receive a lot of media

1988
01:20:01,320 --> 01:20:02,520
coverage

1989
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:04,380
um this during this last month I was

1990
01:20:04,380 --> 01:20:06,900
able to provide two more interviews with

1991
01:20:06,900 --> 01:20:10,140
uh news stations and then also there's

1992
01:20:10,140 --> 01:20:14,400
been over 165 media pieces as well as 9

1993
01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:16,320
000 hits on social media relative to

1994
01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:19,080
presto and our Presto social media

1995
01:20:19,080 --> 01:20:22,140
um we've been in the first seven weeks

1996
01:20:22,140 --> 01:20:24,360
of service we've got about 300 Riders

1997
01:20:24,360 --> 01:20:27,239
which averages about 45 Riders per week

1998
01:20:27,239 --> 01:20:29,940
and just yesterday we just had an

1999
01:20:29,940 --> 01:20:32,460
official kind of open house for all the

2000
01:20:32,460 --> 01:20:33,900
tenants in Bishop ranch so we're

2001
01:20:33,900 --> 01:20:35,580
expecting that ridership to go up as

2002
01:20:35,580 --> 01:20:38,280
well and with operations there always

2003
01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:40,440
comes technical issues I'm not gonna lie

2004
01:20:40,440 --> 01:20:42,600
so we've been having some technical

2005
01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:43,920
issues with some of the antenna

2006
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:46,380
communication but also with some of the

2007
01:20:46,380 --> 01:20:47,760
Staggering of the vehicles with the

2008
01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:49,020
schedule so they're you know we're

2009
01:20:49,020 --> 01:20:50,460
definitely keeping track and working

2010
01:20:50,460 --> 01:20:52,860
with beep to continue to optimize the

2011
01:20:52,860 --> 01:20:55,020
service we're also looking about adding

2012
01:20:55,020 --> 01:20:57,780
another stop because of the demand and

2013
01:20:57,780 --> 01:20:58,980
so we're looking at adding another stop

2014
01:20:58,980 --> 01:21:01,320
at the GE Building and so so as we're

2015
01:21:01,320 --> 01:21:03,060
kind of looking and evaluating the team

2016
01:21:03,060 --> 01:21:05,280
has been really focused on how we can

2017
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:07,699
make that improve the quality of service

2018
01:21:07,699 --> 01:21:10,920
there and then also something I wanted

2019
01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:13,500
to mention in terms of operations we've

2020
01:21:13,500 --> 01:21:16,320
been piloting piloting this Transit

2021
01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:18,960
signal priority project so hisham's been

2022
01:21:18,960 --> 01:21:21,120
leading it and so we've been we just

2023
01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:24,900
actually finished a test of that in uh

2024
01:21:24,900 --> 01:21:27,060
two corridors in Concord and Walnut

2025
01:21:27,060 --> 01:21:28,320
Creek and so we were able to

2026
01:21:28,320 --> 01:21:30,540
successfully

2027
01:21:30,540 --> 01:21:33,239
um prioritize the bus through an entire

2028
01:21:33,239 --> 01:21:35,760
Corridor and all the traffic signals and

2029
01:21:35,760 --> 01:21:39,060
that was using a cloud-based system that

2030
01:21:39,060 --> 01:21:40,920
was communicating to the buses and their

2031
01:21:40,920 --> 01:21:44,400
CAD AVL systems and then directly to the

2032
01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:46,260
software platforms that were controlling

2033
01:21:46,260 --> 01:21:49,080
the traffic signals and so by using a

2034
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:51,420
software approach it's a cost-effective

2035
01:21:51,420 --> 01:21:53,159
approach we don't have to add Hardware

2036
01:21:53,159 --> 01:21:55,440
to the buses or Hardware to the traffic

2037
01:21:55,440 --> 01:21:57,239
signal controllers at every intersection

2038
01:21:57,239 --> 01:21:59,699
and so we're doing that as a pilot right

2039
01:21:59,699 --> 01:22:01,260
now and I think

2040
01:22:01,260 --> 01:22:03,000
um I believe how many intersections has

2041
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:05,760
shown total for that project

2042
01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:07,980
66 intersections total that we're

2043
01:22:07,980 --> 01:22:09,420
looking at for part of that project and

2044
01:22:09,420 --> 01:22:11,580
that's going to be part of our broader

2045
01:22:11,580 --> 01:22:13,860
smart signal program in terms of you

2046
01:22:13,860 --> 01:22:16,380
know learning how to prioritize transit

2047
01:22:16,380 --> 01:22:18,780
buses through these traffic signals

2048
01:22:18,780 --> 01:22:20,219
um and then lastly a couple

2049
01:22:20,219 --> 01:22:22,260
administrative items

2050
01:22:22,260 --> 01:22:24,540
um I'm thinking about having a board

2051
01:22:24,540 --> 01:22:28,860
Workshop in late September early October

2052
01:22:28,860 --> 01:22:30,900
um that'll be just board only

2053
01:22:30,900 --> 01:22:32,760
um I know the last board workshop last

2054
01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:34,860
September we invited the city managers

2055
01:22:34,860 --> 01:22:36,780
the trans operators this will actually

2056
01:22:36,780 --> 01:22:39,120
be kind of a board-only invite Workshop

2057
01:22:39,120 --> 01:22:40,739
to kind of address some of the things

2058
01:22:40,739 --> 01:22:42,300
that are coming up

2059
01:22:42,300 --> 01:22:44,880
um and so I'll tarrianne and Emily will

2060
01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:46,140
be reaching out to you in terms of

2061
01:22:46,140 --> 01:22:47,340
starting to kind of securing some

2062
01:22:47,340 --> 01:22:49,500
availability and dates in late September

2063
01:22:49,500 --> 01:22:53,280
early October and then also Emily was

2064
01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:55,080
the guinea pig she went to Walnut Creek

2065
01:22:55,080 --> 01:22:57,020
and tested out this new headshot

2066
01:22:57,020 --> 01:22:59,699
headshot vendor and so I know there was

2067
01:22:59,699 --> 01:23:01,500
an email that went out so if you've got

2068
01:23:01,500 --> 01:23:04,080
a blank face on our website I encourage

2069
01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:06,540
you to go get your head shot and that

2070
01:23:06,540 --> 01:23:09,120
way we can get your smiling faces all on

2071
01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:11,159
our websites so

2072
01:23:11,159 --> 01:23:13,440
um so that's it includes my report and

2073
01:23:13,440 --> 01:23:15,600
thank you for the opportunity
