Councilman Henderson stated that Redwood City was the hardest working city in California in attempting to keep up with State legislation . Mr . Paul Frost , 3742 Farm Hill Blvd . , stated he is constantly escorting small children across the street to the park, even though there is a push-button signal , because cars do not stop .

He opposed raising the speed limit , and suggested that further study be made . 4/2/73 Reg . Mtg .
