CLERK'S ADDENDUM
The Board thanked Ellen for the presentation and offered the following comments and/or suggestions for
consideration going forward: Supervisor Piepho noted that maximum capacity and community interests should
be driving components of station location; that partnership opportunities on the bicycle/pedestrian path at
Mokelumne station be considered; requested that drought-tolerant landscaping of the type located at the
Lamorinda station be considered along the fence-lines to assist with the appearance of the area, as the cyclone
fence tends to gather wind-blown debris that is unattractive. Supervisor Mitchoff did like the idea of the 3
middle stations and the possibility of the Mokelumne station acting in conjunction with other alternative transit
options, i.e. the trail, but also expressed a preference for the terminus to be farther out. She noted that might be
a factor in the future in attracting ridership from Stockton. Supervisor Andersen stated that a great deal of
deference should be given to the cities where the stations are located within their incorporated areas and
evaluation of how the project(s) fit within the general plans ad economic development plans - working closely
with city managers on this economic benefit. She further noted that adequate parking, for long term needs, is
of paramount concern. Supervisor Glover would like the two refuse haulers in the Pittsburg/Bay Point station
area to be participants in discussions with CalTrans about the landscaping and debris issues; and he would like
to keep focus on what is happening with the funding and future of the proposed Railroad Avenue station in the
City of Pittsburg as part of the ongoing discussion. Ms. Smith believes that the proposed October 11 ePPAC
outreach meeting will be delayed, but announced that on approximately October 5, 2012 there will be a joint
groundbreaking with Contra Costa Transit Association (CCTA) for their segment 3A and Contra Costa
County's work at the Hillcrest station site.
