Livermore, Kathleen <br />From: Jacob Tobias [quercusagrifolia@hotmail.com] <br />Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2010 12:28 PM <br />To: Livermore, Kathleen <br />Subject: Yes! Let's Study BRT! <br />You will soon be voting on a "Locally Preferred Alternative" (LPA) to study Bus Rapid Transit <br />(BRT) for our region. Along with TransForm, I am asking you to please vote in favor of <br />studying a robust BRT system that would deliver the most reliability possible (also being <br />called a "build LPA"). <br />I have lived near the Telegraph Avenue corridor for 13 years and have always felt that <br />Telegraph should be a multi-modal "complete street" that better accommodates the full range <br />of transportation options, including public transit and bicycles. I have always noticed that <br />Telegraph Avenue is rarely, if ever, jammed with traffic, and that parking is relatively <br />abundant, as compared to other urban retail corridors. <br />Certainly, BRT plans will need to be balanced with the needs of many interest groups. <br />Without a study of "how much" BRT could be implemented, we cannot know how to proceed. <br />Again, please vote in favor of studying a "build LPA" for BRT. <br />Thank you for your time and service to the City. <br />Jacob Tobias <br />693 Aileen St. #1 <br />Oakland, CA 94609 <br />i <br />
