As a result, City staff has prepared a TDM Plan for Alameda Point.
The TDM Plan was discussed at the joint Planning Board and Transportation Commission meeting on September 30, 2013, and at the Transportation Commission meeting on December 11, 2013.

City staff revised the draft TDM Plan based on comments received from the Planning Board and presented the revised draft to the Transportation Commission on April 23, 2014.
