ORAL COMMUNICATIONS a. Janice Greppi, 98 Alameda, at Edgewood Road, in the unincorporated area, reported the several automobile accidents which have occured within the past few months on her property which she believes were caused because of problems related to the traffic signal at that intersection. Mrs. Greppi displayed photographs of damage done to her fence and to her property by automobiles "spinning out" and also a letter from her insurance company cancelling her insurance, because of the potential for a fatality on her property. Mrs. Greppi also reported she has met with the City's Traffic Engineer and his assistant and with representatives of the County Public Works Department. She requested a guard rail be installed to prevent out -of- control vehicles from damaging her property. CONSENSUS: Mayor Claire determined it to be the consensus of Council to request from staff a report by the Traffic Engineer by April 20, 1987, on the accidents which have taken place at the Alameda /Edgewood Road intersection and also that staff look into: 1) a left-turn signal on Alameda for traffic eastbound on Edgewood Road; and 2) whether or not a "No Right Turn" sign should be placed for those going south on Alameda to prevent turning right at Edgewood. MEMO 4/7/87 b. Denise Bradley, 3125 Hoover Street, requested an update on the Fifth Avenue flooding situation and was told a design is being prepared with the possibility of a bond issue which might include the pump station and that a possible interim solution is being studied. c. Lynn Hanlon, Menlo Park, presented an overhead projection of a newspaper clipping from 1957 relating to air pollution and referred to proposed construction of the Combustion Engineering facility. Mayor Claire explained that the City Council has approved a study on the concept of construction of a proposed high technology waste -to- energy plant as an alternative to landfill for waste, noting several public meetings have been held and that no other decision has yet been made. d. Gladys Woodhams, 601 Melville, Palo Alto, owner of property at 1018 Main Street, said she believes her considerable investment in property in Redwood City will be in danger if the Combustion Engineering plant is constructed. Mrs. Woodhams objected to the proposed location and suggested air pollution would occur. (see c. above) e. Nita Spanqler, 970 Edgewood Road, said that a serious traffic problem exists at Edgewood and Alameda and extends up Edgewood Road to Highway 280 and to San Carlos. Mrs. Spangler said that a stop sign is needed on Edgewood at Melrose, noting much of the problem is created by speeders. f. Ralph Peterson, 240 Outer Circle, said that he represents the Business and Government Relations Committee of the Chamber of Commerce and offered information on the proposed waste -to- energy plant from Combustion Engineering and both from those who favor and those who oppose the construction of the facility. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - - - -- Reg.Mtg. 4/6/87 Page 4 MINUTE BOOK NO. 47 Page No. 91
