Mayor Tarver had a hard time supporting Measure B, but he would not stand in the way <br />of it. He said the way Highway 84 was currently proposed was a negative for Pleasanton. Also <br />the west Dublin BART station is gone. The subsidy per passenger concerned him. He did feel <br />though that Council should support letting the Board of Supervisors take this measure to the <br />voters. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti expressed her concern about Highway 84. She would like to see it <br />become a four lane road. But if only three lanes were developed, then two could go south in <br />the morning and two could go north in the evening. She said there needed to be a two lane <br />capacity going one way through Pigeon Pass. She asked what would happen if the resolutions <br />were conditionally approved? <br /> <br /> Mr. Wasserman said if Council approved Exhibit A, the Transportation Authority and <br />Board of Supervisors could not count it as approving the plan, unless the plan was taken back <br />to all the other cities and changed. In terms of approving the plan and following the time line, <br />Exhibit B would have to be approved. <br /> <br /> Tom Blalock, BART Director, District 6, said Pete Snyder was working on additional <br />parking for the Pleasanton-Dublin BART station. He was proud of the cities that put all of the <br />money into major regional transportation projects. He urged Council to adopt the additional <br />wording Ms. Monsen mentioned. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis asked if he knew how much money had been spent on the west Dublin BART <br />station. <br /> <br /> Mr. Blaiock did not know the exact figure, but he thought it would take approximately <br />$38 million to complete the station. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis was concerned about the amount of money that had already been spent on <br />the facility and that it would be wasted because the station would not be completed. <br /> <br /> Mr. Blalock felt the money invested would encourage the system to find the funds in the <br />future. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis was serious about finding a funding source. <br /> <br /> Mr. Blaiock said BART was serious too. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti said TVTC had set aside $5 million for the parking at that station. <br /> <br /> In response to Mr. Pieo's questions, Mr. Fay said the way the formula works for what <br />Alameda County would pay has to do with the percentage of patronage. The number quoted <br />before for the overall service for all passengers ($3.45), would be the same subsidy for Alameda <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 2/17/98 <br />Minutes 32 <br /> <br /> <br />
