Mr. DeLander stated that there is both, plus a bicycle path. He also answered that it <br />takes one acre for parking 100-110 cars. He mentioned that the County property (dirt) will most <br />likely be available. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr asked what happened to the suggestion of artwork in the station. <br /> <br /> Mr. Middlebrook stated there was one artist that offered to so some paintings, but there <br />were no funds for that at this time; nor have there been plans for an art program. <br /> <br /> Tom Pico asked if there would be wind screens at the station and also asked when the <br />station will become usable by the public. <br /> <br /> Mr. Middlebrook said there are some wind screens that are 12-16 feet long and are used <br />on three sides of the station. BART is hoping that the station will be operable by December <br />1995, but there have been many delays due to the rain. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver asked if all the contracts have been awarded. He also asked what is the <br />total amount spent on this project. <br /> <br /> Mr. DeLander said that BART encountered protests with the last contract because the <br />contract didn't go to the lowest bidder and BART is now considering that protest. This project <br />has now spent about 60 % of the $500 million budgeted. <br /> <br /> Jack Dove, a member of the Circulation Subcommittee, said that originally 1900 parking <br />spaces were to built at West Dublin, 2600 at Hacienda and 2500 spaces at Livermore; or <br />approximately 7000 spaces in all. Since the end of the line was contemplated somewhere rise, <br />the Subcommittee suggested 6000 spaces total. <br /> <br /> Mr. DeLander described the proposed Livermore site, the funding and schedule. <br /> <br />Comments on the Del Prado Property Matter <br /> <br /> Ms. Dorene Paradiso, 3168 Paseo Granada, felt it unfair and unwise for members of the <br />Council to go against the School Board's decision-making, whether or not the Council agrees <br />with the Board's decisions on the Del Prado site. She suggested that the Councilmembers might <br />use David Steibel to mediate between themselves and the School Board. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver clarified that the issue is not whether or not the school goes on the site <br />there but whether or not the City is going to amend the general plan. <br /> <br />05/16/95 <br /> -8- <br /> <br /> <br />
