TRAFFIC FACT FINDING COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED 20 foot bus stop on Northwest side of E1 Camino Real in front of Central Cafe be zoned in red to prevent parking of motor vehicles. It was suggested that red zone of 20 feet on Roosevelt be painted for the same pur- pose. Councilman Holmquist thought this recommendation would help neither the pedestrian nor the motorist coming onto the highway." Administrative Assistant Miller stated a traffic count had been taken and could be submitted to the State and there was some objection to a 3 -way signal as this was not a 4 -way intersection. It was thought study should be given the other corner. The bus stop was established, but the curb had never been painted. Councilman Werder asked that further consideration be given to this as Roosevelt Avenue was too important to start sending traffic down Adams Street and he so moved including further study of this by the Traffic Fact Finding Committee, seconded by Councilman Royer. Motion carried. City Attorney Currie stated that all ordinances dealing with State Highways must be forwarded to the State Highway Department for approval prior to adoption. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED AMENDING SECTION 4.2 of Ordinance 600 (Zoning) establishing building lines on Valota Road from Woodside Road to Jefferson Avenue as indicated on the map on file in City Engineer Jain's office.

BROADWAY No. 3, RIGHT-OF-WAY ACQUISITION. City Engineer Jain submitted appraisal report made by Norwood B. Smith to cover appraisal of Broadway No. 3 properties required for Marshall Street extension and widening and Broadway extension into the Redwood Industrial Tract. It was suggested that the appraisal report be reviewed by the City Manager, Mr. Smith and the City Engineer before approval of negotiations for the property. It was recommended that City Manager Rolison be authorized to engage a right-of-way agent to negotiate for these properties and to authorize the City Attorney to start condemnation proceedings for parcels that could not be acquired by negotiation.
