are caused by children using the cross -walks and not by
U-turns or left -turns. His only suggestion is that a
left -turn lane be put in, which he believed the State may
consider, after apprising the situation.
Bob Lang, 431 S. Cedar Drive, Covina, appeared before
Council and also objected to the recommendation, stating
that he believed more than 72 cars make turns in a 24-hour
period; also, due to the Freeway, cars will not travel
another block to make the turn.
Moved by Councilman Calvert, seconded by Councilman Cooney
and unanimously carried to table this item to meeting of
