The Clerk read the pe ti - tion urging that an opening in the said barrier be provided so that left turns can be made into and out of Renato Court. He also read a letter from Roy L. Alley, attorney with offices in Renato Court, in which Mr. Alley states that he had mailed a letter to the Division of Highways concerning the traffic engineering of the inter- section of E1 Camino 'Real and Renato Court in Redwood City.
