<br /> of Harbor Boulevard-Woodside Road freeway
<br /> interchange should be referred to staff for
<br /> further consideration and conversations with
<br /> the Sta,te Department of Transportation, and
<br /> concurrently referred to the Planning Com-
<br /> � mission for consideration of possible amend-
<br /> ments to the Land Use and Traffic Circulation
<br /> "�� elements of the Genera,l Plan.
<br /> Council commended staff for the outstanding and pro-
<br /> fessional report.
<br /> A lengthy discussion followed, and Director of Public
<br /> Works Pusich responded to questions by Council. He
<br /> elaborated on one of the disadvantages of a parallel
<br /> link to Bayshore, as listed in his memorandum, which
<br /> is the possible postponement of the decision to widen
<br /> Bayshore from Whipple Avenue to the southerly San Mateo
<br /> County line. He explained that plans to widen this
<br /> stretch by one lane may proceed this year, after some
<br /> postponements for various reasons, but if an alternate
<br /> route is put in, the widening may be forestalled again.
<br /> He noted that the Tra.ffic IIZgineer' s report estimated
<br /> that the Bayshore Freeway will be at capacity as soon
<br /> � as the widening is completed.
<br /> City Manager Fales commented on some of the possibilities
<br /> that will be under consideration after completion of the
<br /> bridge, such as a trans-bay bus service, since a large
<br /> *!^ number of people living in the East Bay area work on
<br /> the Peninsula.
<br /> �

<br /> man Williams, to approve the City Manager' s recommenda-
<br /> tions as contained in his report.

<br /> Councilman Conwa Atherton, spoke in support of the
<br /> recommen a ons an commen ed on an alternate study for
<br /> a two-lane bridge as at present, except for upgrading

<br /> feeder roads approaching the bridge . He asked whether
<br /> Redwood City would �o along with the two-lane road into
<br /> the Harbor area in the event the State takes that
<br /> alternative.
<br /> Mayor Weymouth advised Mr. Conway that Council would not
<br /> be in a position to respond until the matter has been
<br /> considered by staff.
