recommends converting Old Foothill Road to a southbound, single lane one-way street with parallel parking. He reviewed a design of the area advising that this design would require making improvements to the intersection of Foothill and Old Foothill Roads so a de- acceleration lane could be provided, and would allow for providing additional handicap parking spaces and a drop-off area to serve the Alviso Adobe. Mr. Dolan noted that EBRPD would be adding a vault toilet in the vicinity of the trail staging area entrance. During a PowerPoint presentation Mr. Dolan pointed out locations of the Alviso Adobe Community Park, the trail staging area, Old Foothill Road, the Messa and Segundo residences and the Austin property. He also pointed out the location of the Garms Staging area. Mr. Dolan discussed the Old Foothill Road design plans and identified on the plan the parking and handicap parking areas, and the bus drop-off location. He also reviewed the EBRPD design plans for: 1) a precast concrete "double Cascadian with Chase" toilet building with roof top vents, 2) a paved area near the toilet building, 3) a drinking fountain, and 4) advised that EBRPD has agreed to pay for the installation of an automatic gate to provide privacy to the Segundo and Messa properties. Additionally, Mr. Dolan commented on the possibility of a pedestrian crosswalk being installed on Foothill Road in the area of the Alviso Adobe and the trail. Mr. Dolan reviewed with Commissioners the proposed Memorandum of Understanding advising that staff believes the terms of the proposed MOU are satisfactory, however some concerns have been raised by the Messas and Segundos, members of Friends of the Alviso Adobe, and the Weiglin family that resides in a home on Jerilyn Lane. Commissioners were advised by Mr. Dolan that Mr. Messa has concerns about the location of the trails and proposed bathroom facility and has questioned whether the bathroom facility is allowed by previous approvals of the Austin project. Mr. Dolan informed Commissioners that the Bicycle, Pedestrian and Trails Committee had considered the Draft MOU between the City of Pleasanton and EBRPD at their March 28, 2016 meeting and had questioned the bathroom location and why they were not being proposed on the Alviso Adobe Community Park site. The Committee was also sympathetic to concerns raised by the Messa and Segundo families, and had questions about horse trailers using up substantial portions of the proposed new parking spaces. Commissioner Abrishhamchian asked about the time-frame for installing a crosswalk on Foothill Road and whether parking on Old Foothill Road would restrict traffic on Foothill Road. Commissioner Bowers questioned: 1) what kind of pedestrian access was being considering for Foothill Road and commented on visibility and fast traffic in the area, 2) asked for additional information about a vault toilet, 3) indicated he liked the proposed location of the toilet building, 4) discussed the MOU language and what would happen should there be a breach by EBRPD in completing the Garms Staging area, 5) asked for confirmation about funding for the project and EBRPD's requirement to meet all schedules, 6) who would pay if it was determined additional parking was needed, and 7) information about EBRPD's Ordinance 38.
