Cheng, i am pleased to offer a update for Treasure Island in coordination for the request of 150,000 of prop k funds to support the conceptual design and the next stage system manager and engineering for the over all toll program and you should have the slides and hand outs in front of you and if could get them, great, thank you. That might not be quite the right. That is. Sorry this is the slide that presents the appropriation for 150,000. And if i dont, if you dont mind pulling up the Treasure Island, Mobility Program update . And so we recall and earlier this year we were he designated to bring this in for the authority as part of the program, and here, sorry, could i get. As part of the program, the Transportation Authority is developing the mobility project and the series of goals that were in the Treasure Island transportation improvement program, and walking and biking and transit, and ferry and service, are meant to help to keep the automobile loads down, and that is the goal i
Concern, and so i would be concerned because as you probably are aware, there are a number of low income residents, who are on Treasure Island, and yes, many of them use the Public Transportation system, but, there are some who sometimes use the vehicles, and so, i would be really concerned about some level of congestion pricing on Treasure Island and i am not sure if i would be supportive of that effort. Understood, and we are certainly in touch with the island residents, and one of the things that we are going to be doing is bringing forward a discount policy for the board to consider as we did previously when we looked at congestion pricing for downtown, and we thought that it was important to capture that issue and to bring forward the recommendations around how this could be handled but the discount and exemption policy. Okay, and what about the job corp and just, there just. The folks out there and yes, we are in touch with the residents and we are in touch with the job corp and
But are going to propose it. Well, the city identified this as the policy framework for the island development, and to support the over all Development Goals of the island and, that is something that the city by city policy and it is in the Development Agreement that we should do some form of demand management to compliment and to help to pay for the transit that we need. And i guess that the concern is someone who used to live there, who used to work there, and it is very difficult to get a transportation on and off the island. True. And i just, feel a little bit uncomfortable, requiring some sort of congestion fees, related to any purpose for a place that does not have a i think a great Transportation System and although better than it has been, and so you just have the bus system and there is a lot of tourists and other folks who i know go to the island, but, it just, it is a difficult it has been that even when it was a navy base and even the students who come with me and the bus s
Packet and the first one was taken from the original plan and it involved the total peak hour toll and the five dollar range for the weekdays oebl and we found that this one does not pencil in terms of the Financial Performance and we identified two other options and that will be to price the periods for all congestived periods and all days of the week and keeping the toll around 5, and on and off the bridge and then, finally a third option was identified that would, allow for a veriable toll for the toll to go up and down, as congestion vary and to reduce the toll for the bay bridge toll payers who are already paying a 5 fee from the east bay. This is how it will look like, in terms of toll structure one and where the toll will go up and down with the peak period of travel at five dollars, and the toll and scenario two will allow for the tolling throughout the midday, where we are seeing and expecting in the future, especially more midday congestion and the toll free will vary with co
Difficult it has been that even when it was a navy base and even the students who come with me and the bus stopped at a certain time and i think that if you are going to do Something Like this, there has to be some sort of a Public Transportation system and that is sufficient to support it. Because, i dont think that it is a good idea. Otherwise. Otherwise, yes, thank you. No, i do appreciate that and absolutely, the plan is and i should be clear to dramatically increase transit to the island. And that is dramatically, and 108 already is very crowd and we know that. From both sides, but to the east bay and. Yes, the ac transit with the muni and the brand new Ferry Service and so the plan is to bring forward entirely new, and increase, in the transit service. Well, until those things are completely done. Exactly. Exactly. So that is the idea to bring them all forward together. I am sorry that i did not make that more clear. Thank you. And so, back to the transit capacity and services i
