Oral Communications (continued) (3) Kenneth and Lori Herdman, 3550 Jefferson Avenue, displayed a slide showing the road design, and expressed concern regarding the portion from Dover Road to Farm Hill Boulevard; described deficiencies in the road design, and suggested as remedies that parking should be abolished in the area completely, that there should be a 4 -foot bicycle lane, leaving two 12 -foot traffic lanes; that the curb should be raised so that all stretches of the street have uniform elevation of curbs; undergrounding of utility lines; and correction of super elevation on the downhill lane. (4) Zeit Wang, 3773 Jefferson Avenue, described difficulties in getting out of his driveway at the hairpin curve section of Jefferson where he lives, and also believes that a 25 MPH speed limit sign is needed. (5) Marie Valerio, 3585 Jefferson Avenue, described a number of hazards on Jefferson Avenue such as children on skateboards, heavy truck traffic, dirt bikes, and speeding. (6) Hazel Galbreth, 3818 Jefferson Avenue, expressed concern about speed, and also regarding the left -hand turn from Jefferson Avenue onto Farm Hill Boulevard, which she stated is hazardous. City Manager Smith and Police Chief Guardino commented and replied to questions regarding the fact that the street is not designed to handle heavy traffic; that stop signs probably would not be warranted; that the heavy truck traffic will diminish because the construction project is nearing completion; and the fact that the area is under dual jurisdiction.
