Alec has requested that I respond to you during his absence. Following the large meeting on March 18,2008, the design team embarked on an intensive study to identify a number of alternatives for the path. The result of the study was presented to the focused study group, that consisted of staff from Oakland and Emeryville, IKEA, and BD. Since IKEA objected to any alternatives involving any permanent takes from their parking lot, the range of options basically came down to the following two Alternatives: (1) A modified fork option, which negated the need for any design exceptions; and (2) A single path with a Gateway laza at the terminus on the west side of Shellmound St. and across street from IKEA store. While we believe that Alternative 2 has certain merits from an aesthetic and contextsensitive standpoint, nevertheless any modifications from those presented in Alternative 1 would require a supplemental A\ED with the potential to further delay the project. Therefore, we are ready to proceed with Alternative 1 as set forth in the A\ED. We would like to set up a final meeting with all involved agencies to finalize the direction we'll be heading, and are currently looking at a meeting on July 15 (Tues). I'm attaching sketches of each alternative as well as a ros ons matrix for each alternative. You may share this with the bicycle advocacy groups, and we'd greatly appreciate if you could forward me the e mail addresses of the representatives from various groups that you think may like to attend the next meeting.

27 Alanysis of ublic Access Alternatives in the vicinity of IKEA Store on Shellmound Street in Emeryville Revised Date: 06/09/08 Alternative 1 ROS ONS This alternative was proposed in BD ermit No , and Need to acquire permanent easement from Emeryville in the existing approved in the AED phase in 1999, when the site was not well landscaped area and acquire TE from IKEA for 3 to 6 months during developed and IKEA store did not exist at that time. construction. Eastern-leg of ublic Access would benefit primarily bicyclists traveling NB on 0th St to Shellmound ST and intending to get onto Bay Bridge, as well as bicyclists returning from Bay Bridge and intending to travel NB on Shellmund St. No permanent loss of IKEA's parking spots. Due to the space constraint, the eastern-leg of ublic Access would be narrowed to 12 feet (8' path plus 2-ft shoulders on each side). Retaining wall would be required on a portion of ublic Access near the Abutment of 0th St. Overcrossing Structure. There is safety concern after dark to pass through the confined space area beneath the 0th St. Overcrossing Structure. Need to install a "STO" sign at the intersection with the main ublic Access Route within altrans R/W area and also install a warning sign at a 90-degree turn near Abutment of the 0th St. Overcrossing Structure. Alternative 2 ROS ONS rovides a Gateway laza on Shellmound St. from IKEA s entrance that would function as a staging area for both pedestrians and May require to revise environmental document. bicyclists. Significantly enhances the aesthetics of the neighborhood. Most of the public access is within altrans' R/W and has adequate space to be used for contractor's staging area during construction. Occasional delays to traffic flow on Shellmound Street in Emeryville. BD staff has reviewed and support this alternative. Separates bicyclists from pedestrians at Shellmound St. crossing location through installation of dual crosswalks at the Intersection. Insignificant economic impact on neighboring establishments during construction. May require a "edestrian hase" that means longer waiting time for pedestrians and bicyclists crossing the street. May require bicyclists to stop and wait for light and walk through the crosswalk. The type of rosswalks is subject to approval by ity of Emeryville or other appropriate agency.

31 Tri-ity BA meeting agenda development From Vice-hair Midori Tabata For discussion and action by BA on the Tri-ity BA agenda for August roposed agenda: 1. Introductions (all minutes) 2. Review and update issue items developed at February meeting (all 30 minutes) 3. Discuss key priority items common to the tri-city BA (all 30 minutes). Develop path forward on how to deal with key priority items (all 20 minutes) Attached is the list of issues we identified as meaningful to Oakland at our June meeting. We need to focus this list to 3 at most. BA members should be ready to discuss list at the July meeting and help sort it to a FEW key items.

Tunnel Road: persistent "wet spot" on curve, above firestorm memorial. Approach to Bay Bridge aldecott Tunnel Settlement BRT Bike Blvd onnectivity Study near final; proposal currently is for -3 lane conversion and bike lanes. Will widen the curb ramps along the Stanford median and provide signage to improve the exisitng pedestrian crossing; adds a new bike-only curb ramp off Adeline into the pocket park; adds warning signage along Stanford. Study the best east-west bikeway access to the MacArthur BART that connects Emeryville to iedmont Ave while maintaining A Transit bus and Emery-Go- Round shuttle operations On this popular recreational route, striping makes for a very uncomfortable transition from Ashby to Tunnel Road. Slippery spot caused by underground spring seeps onto Tunnel Rd. Need to identify bike/ped issues to address with settlement money. Needs to be done quickly Though not a BM priority, may be constructed to enhance connection to Berkeley from Market Street in Oakland via Stanford median. ending construction in Based on study's LOS and other analysis, preliminary proposal calls for (1) narrowing the median on 0th Street between Yerba Buena and Webster to make room for bike lanes while maintaining two vehicle travel lanes; (2) installing a bike boulevard/bike lanes on 1st Street from Webster to iedmont; (3) removing one travel lane and installing bike lanes on MacArthur between Broadway and Telegraph; () installing sharrows on MacArthur from Telegraph to the BART frontage road. Grant funded project to correct problem to be completed as soon as the weather allows. Finalize study. Seek funding. elebrate!
