By consensus, direct staff to come back to the Council with a report on the <br /> cost and effectiveness of new electronic speed control signs being used by <br /> Palo Alto, San Mateo and other Bay Area cities. Included in that report <br /> should be thoughts/recommendations as to where the signs might be <br /> effective. <br /> Council Member Bain showed some photographs explaining the electronic <br /> speed signs he referred to during the budget hearings. <br /> 2. By consensus, direct staff to come back to the Council with an estimate for <br /> hiring a consultant to take inventory of the City's uncontrolled intersections. <br /> He stated that the information will give us a better understanding of signage <br /> gaps that will allow us to more effectively target resources. <br /> The second report Council Member Bain requested is regarding the cost <br /> involved in hiring a consultant to evaluate all of the uncontrolled <br /> intersections in Redwood City and suggest some possible next steps for <br /> control.
