Pa eg 3-43 In response to an inquiry by Chairperson Fox regarding the Rapid Bus Program mentioned in Program 17.5, Mr. Tassano replied that the LAVTA was establishing that bus program, which would not make the same number of stops as the Bus Number 10 route. It would have 25 percent of the number of stops and would include new signal timing elements in order to utilize queue jumping and some priority, thereby enhancing the Livermore-to-BART movement.

In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Olson regarding whether that was already referenced in Program 22.11, Ms. Stern stated that it was the same as the bike-share program. Commissioner Blank would like it to be clearly stated that it was municipally sponsored, self- service bicycle availability. He added that there are commercial companies that provide that service. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Narum regarding whether Program 22.3 addressed the integration of bike lanes into existing or new street projects, Ms. Stern replied that it was also intended to retrofit existing streets wherever possible. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Pearce regarding the amount of leeway the City had over bicycle activities on school sites, perhaps strongly encouraging schools to have bicycle parking in prominent or easily accessible locations, Ms. Stern noted that the City worked with the schools and their Ride-to-School program. She added that Mr. Tassano worked with that committee and that she did not know whether it would be appropriate to place such a direction on a school site issue.
