3 I c f Mr. T. S. Khanna, representative of Peat, Marwick, Livingston & Company, advised he had been informed of the recommendation that Stage 5 be abandoned and modi- fications recommended for Stages 6 and 7, and asked that reconsideration be given before this step is taken, even if modified as to elimination of the left turn prohibition so that this portion might not be lost entirely for gather- ing.of,statistics as felt Redwood City would be the main benefactor with good results ensuing to both citizens and merchants in spite of inconveniences which had been imposed. Discussion and questioning held concerning conflict which might have resulted with full scale staging of traffic study program and modified plan now proposed with the utility improvement construction program, and concerns expressed for not allowing the finishing of the program as originally planned. Councilman Henderson indicated her disapproval of traffic study not being continued as had been originally approved. Councilman Petersen questioned statements made that indicated evaluation would not be completed of Stage 7. After further discussion and in view of Staff's recommendation, Councilman Bury moved to accept City Manager's report and recommendation and also to request that he notify the Traffic Consultants, Peat, Marwick and Livingston, of City's decision for continuation of a modified plan, seconded by Councilman Rosselli. After ques- tioning intent of motion, Councilman Henderson moved to amend motion to include City Manager's negotiating with Consultants to incorporate any phase of Stage 5 into the concluding stages of the study which are possible because of the importance of this stage to the total study. Amendment lost for lack of a second. is Police Chief stated he understood even if Stage 5/eliminated entirely, that some of its phases would be incorporated into Stages 6 and 7, thereby still modifying these stages from its presently presented concept. Councilman Bury restated his motion to request Consultants be made aware of Council's action so that they can readjust their program, seconded by Councilman Rosselli. Motion carried, Council- man Henderson voting no. (MINUTE ORat #68-4a) Further questioning held concern- ing incorporating some parts of Stage 5 into last two stages. Councilman Petersen moved that City Manager consult with the research consultants, Peat, Marwick & Livingston, and if he agrees with any suggestions made by them for incorporating phases of Stage 5 into the last two stages, that they be brought back to Council for approval, seconded by Councilman Henderson. Motion carried on roll call vote, Councilman Rosselli voting no.
