53 Hill Boulevard Traffic Signals and Alameda de las Pulgas -Jefferson Intersection and Traffic Signals . Funds were budgeted and are available from the Special Gas Tax Street Improvement Fund for this first phase under the TOPICS Program , PROPOSED RELINQUISHMENT of certain right - of-way by State Division of Highways , vicinity of Whipple Avenue and Veterans Boulevard , was discussed briefly , City Manager noted this intersection will be the subject of consideration in the capital improvement program as a direct result of completion of a Traffic Circulation Element to the General Plan, and due to the fact that such consideration may result in some major revisions to the intersection of the adjacent interchange , it was being recommended that the State be requested to delay the subject relinquishment until such time as questions regarding the improvements are resolved to the satisfaction of both the State and the City . Mayor Keckley noted minor improvements which he felt could be made at the Whipple -El Camino intersection since major changes apparently are some years away in way of better signing at a longer distance from signal , for directional instructions to proper lanes for going Northward to the center lane and Southward lane . City Manager agreed as to traffic hazards in this intersection and would be part of the minimum improvements to be recommended for other intersections as well for better signing , signal timings , some further stripings , to be presented in the capital improvement program as interim measures pending final changes . Councilman Henderson moved to accept the City Manager ' s report and recommenda- tion to so request the State for a continuance , seconded by Councilman Norris and carried on roll call vote . (MINUTE ORDJ:H #72 -111 ) REPORT REGARDING FENCING separating private property from Woodside Road Express - way was expounded upon regarding the five recommendations the City Manager listed in his report submitted to Council : 1 . The Council accept the quit -claim deed and appropriate the necessary funds to repair and maintain the fence . 2 . The property owners be required to fund the repair with the City then assuming maintenance . This could be done by assessment district to insure the equal participation of all properties affected . The project , however , may well be too small to justify the use of assessment district proceedings . 3 . Each owner do such repair work to the fence as necessary , adjacent to his property .
