Michael Verdone, Chair Person of Edgewood Neighborhood Committee spoke in regard to <br /> homeowner association meetings indicating the concern is speed, concerned with neighborhood <br /> as a whole, need for more enforcement, stop sign on Edgewood Road by Melrose, directional <br /> sign at Melrose and Blandford, directional signs by Alameda and Edgewood Road, greater <br /> police presence. Mixed straw vote at meeting expressed concern with humps being permanent <br /> and would cause diversion to the other streets. <br /> <br /> Allison Rouse felt speed problem goes beyond commute hours and supports the idea of speed <br /> humps. <br /> <br /> Ross Hotchkiss was in favor of speed humps. <br /> <br /> Former Mayor Brent Britschgi indicated speed not volume is problem and that Edgewood Road <br /> is a direct feeder to Highway 280. Increased volume could be alleviated if San Carlos would <br /> open Brittan Avenue to Highway 280. Asked for another solution, possibly a more general <br /> coverage of enforcement rather than a saturation <br /> <br /> David Stewart read a letter indicating opposition to speed hump proposal and instead support <br /> for concurrence with the Edgewood Park Neighborhood Association which rejected a motion to <br /> support the installation of speed humps on Edgewood Road. As an alternative, if Redwood City <br /> Council votes to install the humps, that the comers of Blandford/Tumsworth and <br /> Blandford/Woodsworth be changed from two-way to four-way stops to discourage the transfer <br /> of traffic from Edgewood Road to Blandford Boulevard. <br /> <br /> Joe Fragola did not support speed humps and asked for measures for stop sign at Edgewood <br /> Road and Melrose. <br /> <br /> Leslie Loomis does not agree with speed humps and pitting the residents against each other. <br /> Rod Sockolov expressed frustration regarding notification and does not support speed humps. <br /> Dr. John Nelligan felt that Whipple Avenue is tremendously affected. <br /> <br /> Nita R. Spangler said there were several meetings with no official vote, thanked engineers for <br /> their bringing information and asked that all concerns be considered. <br /> <br /> John Williams made points about prior preparation for meetings, urged working toward a <br /> collective solution, concerned about residential street designation, concerned that this is only a <br /> microcosm of a larger problem and should be dealt with as a more global problem working <br /> with neighboring communities. <br /> <br /> Public Comment Complete <br /> <br />REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES BOOK NO. 57 MAY 24, 1999 <br />MINUTES Page No. 335 PAGE 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
