The Alameda Planning Board held a workshop to review a proposed Research & Development facility by Pacific Fusion at Alameda Point. The project includes a 225,500-square-foot building with office, lab, and demonstration space, aiming to advance fusion energy technology. No final approvals were made; the board focused on gathering input and directing next steps.
Can you read us? Uh Lita, please. Thank you. I'd like to lead to the fly of the United States of America for which it says one nation under call individual. All right. Thank you. And we'll begin with roll call. Good evening. Board member Sue. Here. Board member Arisa. Present. Board Member Wang. Here. Board Member Sahaba. Present. And President Cisneros. Here. And so we have a quorum and two excused absences. Thank you. We'll move on to the next agenda item, which is any agenda changes. No. Okay, great. We'll move on to non-agenda public comments. Does anyone in the public, whether on Zoom or here in the room, have any comments that they would like to bring forth? You have up to three minutes for any items that are not on the agenda. Looks like we've got Kurt Peterson. Or non-agenda. Yeah. Okay. And it's basically my name is Kurt Peterson. I live over on the west end on the 200 blocks of Santa Clara. And I slightly concerned with the uh no right turn signs that are on Abbazata Way. Um at Main Street at everyone that goes across uh all the cross streets that go across Hapazotto Way between uh what uh Webster and Maine, including uh Maine. Uh you have these wonderful new signs that you put up that say uh no right turn on red. And I understand why it's there because there is a bike path that goes along there. The problem with it is uh that you can visibly see the bike path very clearly, both directions, so there's no problem as far as that. I just don't understand why they couldn't get a sign that just said beware of bikes. Something of that nature, because especially on the third street, which is where uh the learning center A L C L or whatever it is, the old Woodstock school. Um that right there during three o'clock when they're picking up students, and you can't turn right to get out of there is totally a mess. It's more of a detriment by far than you know the potential as far as any bicycle, you know, incident there. So I'm wondering other cities I go all around, have it listed as far as beware of bikes, you know, bikes have the right of way going across whatever you want to state. You can do that, but to say you can't turn on right can really make that a congestion problem big time. So I would like to see if someone could possibly you know look into who came up with that idea. Uh and is there other ways to remedy it and make it a lot better for everyone, both cars and bicycles and pedestrians. Thank you very much. Thank you for bringing up that concern. Are there any other uh non-agenda public comments? I have no other speakers, no hands raised. Okay, great.
