The matter of the recommendation by the Director of Appvd.recomm. Public Works that the City employ a consulting engineer to employ to prepare traffic safety studies (re: State Traffic Lampman & Assoc. Safety grant), with authorization for execution of to prepare traff.

Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Rubio and unanimously carried to raise the item from the table. The Police Chief addressed Council, explaining that the State law now requires a traffic engineering update on all city streets where an electronic speed trap may be used. He pointed out that there has not been a traffic study done relative to speed limits in the City, and should anyone be arrested as a result of the radar surveillance, he could have the case thrown out of courts The Director of Public Works addressed Council and ex- plained that the intention is to begin a system which would constantly be updated and would provide for studies relative to the one mentioned by the Police Chief. The proposed study would form the basis for priorities nn what streets to study first for traffic engineering. Presently there is no system that allows the Police Department or the Engineering Depart- ment to be aware of hazardous areas until they result in several deaths or great number of accidents. Councilmen Decker and Rubio felt the program proposed by the Director of Public Works was an unneeded expenditure of Federal funds, which study could be as easily done by City forces.

Motion carried by the following vote of Council: AYES: Councilmen: Snyder, Clark, Solem NOES: Councilmen: Rubio, Decker ABSENT: Councilmen: None A petition was submitted, containing 16 signatures, opposing the widening of Hollyvale Street between Vernon Avenue and Orange Place. The City Administrator explained that the petition was the result of the City's intention to remove the carob trees along this portion of Hollyvale Street, which were damaging the street sewer lines, and at the same time widen the street by an additional six feet. The Director of Public Works addressed Council and drew their attention to a diagram drawn to scale, showing the difference between a 30 -foot wide street and a 36 -foot wide street when cars were parked on both sides at the same time. The former would allow for only one car to pass through. Should it meet a second car, one of the two would have to draw to t"e side to allow the other to 'pass. The additional six-foot width would allow both cars to pass by each other in a smooth flow of traffic. The widened street would have the sidewalk along the curb with the new trees located on the side of the walkway closest to the houses. Will Standley, 725 W. Hollyvale Street, addressed Council and opposed the widening of the street, and questioned where trash would be placed if the sidewalk were placed against the street, as it is illegal to block the side- walk. Paul Josephson, 318 N. Vernon Avenue, addressed Council and opposed the widening of the street, and claimed he did not need traffic 3 feet closer to his house. Mrs. W. C. Potts, 608 W. Hollyvale Street, addressed Council and opposed the widening as being unsafe for the children. Mrs. Joe Martinez, 613 W. Hollyvale Street, addressed Council and opposed the widening of the street because one of her children had almost been hit by a speeding automobile. Vince Moreno, 715 W. Hollyvale Street, addressed Council 'and stated he wished the street and the trees to remain the same. Moved by Councilman Decker, seconded by Councilman Rubio and unanimously carried to approve the proposal of the Director of Public Works to rebuild the street at 30 -foot width and replace carob trees by other trees which would not create the same problem, to be located in the parkway.
