without taking out several homes. The area will remain the same with the exception of <br />changing out the bridge and minor changes of the ramps. Mayor Santos suggested that <br />there should be a meeting with residents along the corridor, including Davis West, <br />Timothy and residents on the east side. Keith agreed and said that meetings will <br />definitely be scheduled. <br />Regarding the Marina Interchange, Keith advised that Kaiser has advanced the City $5 <br />million to start the process. Councilmember Reed asked if the project is expected to be <br />on schedule if the City has the funds. Keith explained that this is the goal and that City <br />will be pushing for LATIP to make funding available, as that would be the ideal situation. <br />It would be the most convenient for residents if the project could be done all at one time. <br />If the extra funding is not received, it would be possible to have two schedules. The key <br />is to be prepared. Kaiser's funding puts the City ahead of everybody else because plans <br />will be ready to go. Staff is working to get the funding, but readiness will be an <br />important key and we want to be prepared to receive the funds. <br />Regarding High Occupancy Vehicles and Local Area Transportation Improvement <br />Program, Keith explained that on the Davis Street Interchange, the plan is to increase the <br />number of lanes to get vehicles through the congestion, and add a through lane into the <br />Costco lot. There are also plans for on-ramp loop freeway entrances to move the traffic <br />more efficiently. Mayor Santos stated that pedestrians have problems crossing the streets <br />on the overcrossings and feels the issue should be looked at as part of the study. He also <br />stated that meetings are an important issue for the residents and asked Ken Joseph to <br />coordinate with Councilmember Prola to ensure that meetings are planned. <br />Mayor Santos also brought up the issue of design now that Laura Avenue is in place. He <br />stated that the City will have 4 or 5 houses that we will need to start addressing. Laura <br />Avenue is now in play and Councilmember Prola should be involved in talking to <br />residents. Everybody needs to be on board. <br />3. Discussion Regarding AC Transit and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) <br />Mayor Santos addressed the issue of AC Transit and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). He stated <br />that he, Mayor Bates and Mayor Dellums are meeting next week to discuss concerns with <br />the project. While there is substantial funding for the project, the City of San Leandro is <br />not completely on board. The Transit Committee, which includes Councilmembers <br />Gregory and Starosciak and representatives from the City of Oakland, City of Berkeley <br />and AC Transit, will be meeting next month. Mayor Santos stated that he will report <br />back after his meeting with the two mayors and hopefully give staff a better handle of the <br />situation all the way around. <br />Discussion ensued. Keith Cooke stated that staff has been meeting with AC Transit, City <br />of Oakland and City of Berkeley. AC Transit is coming around to the right approach to <br />the project and trying to bring it back out to the community. It has a scope of what it <br />believes the project is. Staff needs to get back to it regarding what is important to the <br />citizens of San Leandro. <br />4. Discussion Regarding PG&E, Comcast and AT&T Low Cable Issue <br />
