Continue reading Alameda City Council Upset about I-880 Improvement Plans Erica Madison At a joint City Council and Alameda Reuse and Redevelopment Authority meeting on Jan 6, 2009, Public Works staff, warned council against approving $74 million I-880 improvement plan. Updated 9/25/09, 11:25 am to clarify statement by Eugenie Thomson about I-880 interchange. By Erica Madison For the last ten years, the Alameda Congestion Management Agency has been looking for a way to improve freeway access from High St. to Broadway. A recent study reveals that the new plan to reduce congestion may actually make it worse for Alameda commuters. Update, 6:00pm, June 27th, 2009: Response from Kate Quick, President of the Alameda League of Women Voters:
Original article: We were in the midst of writing an article (which we expect we will still publish next week) on how Alameda City Council, the Planning Department, and other actors in Alameda were duped by SunCal into believing that the developer was going to bring forth a simple “change Measure A for Alameda Point” initiative. Then we got an email, from which we excerpt a paragraph below, which shows, if true, just how desperate and pathetic some City Council members are. Thank you to Michele Ellson of The Island for tracking down this report on the abuses of paid-signature gatherers, including Arno Political Consulting, the group providing the pen people here in Alameda. Here are a couple of excerpts from the report on questionable tactics used by Arno – some of which Alameda residents may recognize. At a recent presentation to the local Sierra Club transportation committee, SunCal’s hired planning guru Peter Calthorpe presented, as part of his Alameda Point presentation, the Fehr & Peers traffic study numbers in the Alameda Point Transit-Oriented-Alternatives Report, but then promptly backed away from them saying “These aren’t my numbers.” It’s obvious SunCal has done no proposal-specific transportation studies regarding their plan for Alameda Point. And AC Transit says conversations with SunCal to date have not been detailed, but only “conceptual.” |
