REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF TRAFFIC COMMITTEE: City Manager stated several recommenda-tions would be made, the principal one having to do with Woodside Road medians. He noted the numerous meetings which had been held to determine the best possible arrangements of median openings. Plans had been approved by Council and County Board of Supervisors, following which review has been almost continuous on the part of Staff and concerned property owners. (1) Woodside Road Medians. Police Chief, Chairman of the Traffic Committee, reported on recommendations of the Traffic Committee of revisions to proposed State plans for openings in Woodside Road, at Carolina Ave. -Cerrito Ave., and Maryland Street -Santa Clara Avenue. Committee proposes to leave openings at Maryland and Carolina directly in line with residential streets with right turn on and off traffic flow, that the median at this location be closed running from Alameda. to Santiago Avenue, and Cerrito be a right turn on and off traffic flow. Traffic studies indicated there was little cross traffic that would be using the intersection. Maryland Street is recommended to be designed to open directly onto Woodside Road with a right turn on and off traffic flow, and that median opening be directly in line with Santa Cla.ra Street. Also, that the Woodside Road median opposite Santa Clara Avenue remain open, but relocate the opening in Frontage Road barrier directly opposite Maryland.
