Tomorrow night (Tuesday), #alamtg City Council will hear updates on transportation programs like Vision Zero and the Active Transportation Plan as Item 7-F. Here is the letter BWA submitted last week: https://drive.google.com/file/d/163tcNUqnH9H4ePfDm_C_1AN2PcBQ6phd/view?usp=sharing
Disappointing news from the City: the barricade at Santa Clara and Pacific has been removed because that intersection is complicated, and drivers are not following the Central Ave construction detours (!). The full bulletin is here: https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/CAALAMECITY/bulletins/3d945ea
And apparently also stop watching and go to bed. There’s still 20+ speakers and council isn’t still fully recovered from recess. Clerk has announced that the CARP update will come back April 1. Port settlement and fernside items still planned to go tonight. #alamtg
I am going to eat dinner during the sister city public comments and discussion #alamtg
Item 5j will be pulled and heard immediately after consent. Vice Mayor Pryor is recusing from the radium item and the balance of the passes with that recusal #alamtg
Now a large debate about pulling the sister city item from consent #alamtg
Update on events hosted by temple Israel. And someone with some random car free forth of July spitballing that sounded interesting. (Also serving food so I missed some details) #alamtg
And another in support of a permanent memorial for Mario Gonzalez #alamtg
And the joys of mastick senior center #alamtg
And one speaker came to discuss the state of the roads #alamtg
In non-agenda public comments one was against slow street in west end on Santa Clara. Two were in support for a permanent memorial for Mario Gonzalez (and raising frustration that existing memorial was removed). One was about process for member of the public to ask staff questions etc before hearings #alamtg
#Alamtg this evening. The economic development update will be heard in April because todays calendar is so full
I've been really worried about @civicband being too difficult to use... but then I tried to use the #alamtg #OpenGov site and many of my worries went away.
These UI problems are _hard_.
The latest post from The Morning Bun is a call to action for the Fernside project, which goes before #alamtg City Council Tuesday night. This is a pivotal moment/opportunity for several reasons, not least is that it's the first time two new Councilmembers get to vote on a big street safety project.
Planned improvements to the #alamtg Lincoln "Speedway" (and lots of other great projects) are at risk with the new federal administration 
Please consider calling Lateefah Simon, our Congresswoman, to share your concerns. More information from the Morning Bun, here: https://www.themorningbun.com/trumps-secretary-of-transportation-orders-review-of-the-usdot-grant-that-alameda-already-won/
This Tuesday #alamtg City Council will be voting on the Fernside project. While the long-term design is great, it's dependent on funding which may be hard to come by given the competitive funding landscape and the new federal administration. We're pushing for less expensive options and more timely delivery of safety improvements. Our full letter is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h7F0ustqqJHIN0H_hQiA5baOZKY11idC/view?usp=sharing
CM Pryor brought up equity, noting that a $500 fine was pretty steep. The mayor noted that nobody was required to run a red light. And that the lights are near two senior centers, and we should consider the quality of life of people who don't drive.
It sounds like there might be future discussion of payment plans for tickets.
When I heard about the item, I wondered about people turning left on yellow, but these are intersections with left turn lanes. So not an issue.
Props to Tracy Jensen for getting this through.
City Council meeting:
two red light cameras are going in for a one year pilot:
Park x Otis & Webster x Atlantic
Unanimously passes.
