PLANNING 4A Approval of 2011 CMP Update: Recommendations for the CMP Level of Service Standards Regarding Roadway Network and Multimodal Level of Service Saravana Suthanthira requested input on two options for revising and re-evaluating the threshold for including roadways as principal arterials on the CMA network and a process for using multi-modal level of service standards for CMP purposes. She said that based on ACTAC and PPLC inputs, staff will revise Chapters 2 and 6. The two options are: (1) Option 1: Re-evaluate and revise as appropriate the original 30,000 average daily traffic threshold criteria for selecting principal arterials on the CMP network and apply new criteria to identify new roadways; (2) Option 2: Develop a set of qualitative criteria to identify new roadways to be included and surveyed. Roadways identified using the qualitative criteria would be monitored for informational purposes only and would not be used in the conformity findings process. The qualitative criteria policy would be reviewed periodically. After some discussions, a motion to recommend that the Commission approve Option 2 and a process for using multi-modal level of service standards for CMP purposes was made by Councilmember Henson; a second was made by Mayor Kamena. The motion passed 7 – Aye; 1 - Nay (Mayor Green). 4B Review of Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS)/Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and Countywide Transportation Plan (CWTP)/Transportation Expenditure Plan Information Beth Walukas stated that project/program applications are due to Alameda CTC on April 12, 2011.
