3. Discussion Regarding Countywide Transportation Plan / Regional Transportation <br /> Plan <br /> Keith Cooke gave a PowerPoint presentation on the Countywide Transportation Plan / <br /> Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). Keith explained that areas in the nine Bay Area <br /> counties have been identified to sufficiently accommodate the region's population, <br /> including all income groups, in the next 25 years. General planning of projects included <br /> in the RTP and the Countywide Transportation Plan are those projects that will support <br /> the principles of housing people, reducing greenhouse gases and integrating work, school, <br /> play and shopping. For projects to compete for funding, they must be included in these <br /> plans. Typically larger projects, such as an interchange that involves one or more cities, <br /> will be included in the RTP. The call for projects has gone out and outreach meetings <br /> will be held. Keith presented a list of potential new projects for inclusion. <br /> Discussion ensued. Staff responded to questions from the Committee. Councilmembers <br /> Starosciak and Souza asked that all Councilmembers be informed of the upcoming <br /> outreach meetings. Councilmember Starosciak commented that she is happy to see <br /> pedestrian improvement projects on the list and stated that the information and lists are <br /> very helpful for Council. Councilmember Souza asked that Council be given the <br /> opportunity to provide projects for inclusion and asked that a memo be sent out. Keith <br /> stated that Councilmembers will receive information in their packet that will include the <br /> criteria for the projects that should be included. <br /> 4. Discussion Regarding T- Intersection Ramps <br /> Ken Joseph gave a PowerPoint presentation on the T- Intersection Ramps. The City has a <br /> total of 114 ramp locations that need to be addressed. 103 ramps will be installed in new <br /> locations or to replace outdated ramps; 88 ramps at street corners are not of particular <br /> concern at this time; 4 T- Intersections have existing ramps and replacement creates no <br /> additional impact; 11 T- Intersections will require new ramps that will result in loss of on- <br /> street parking. Some ramps will be added to the sidewalk project for construction in <br /> April and May. Street work will be staggered throughout summer. <br /> Discussion ensued. Staff responded to questions from the Committee. Councilmember <br /> Starosciak stated that the map is very helpful and should be shared with the Council as <br /> the color coding provides a very good explanation of the ramp locations. <br /> 5.
