many people find that they do not have as many options and that <br /> the Civic Cultural Commission provides opportunities to get <br /> involved in the community. <br /> <br /> Council discussion ensued regarding the topic and the concept of <br /> fundraising with the City matching the funds was discussed. <br /> Council Member Pierce stated that she would work with staff and <br /> the Civic Cultural Commission to look at where the money might <br /> come from and how the fundraising might work. <br /> <br /> Council Member Ruskin requested staff pursue the feasibility of <br /> audible traffic signals for people in the community who are either <br /> blind or seriously visually impaired. The proposal is to not budget at <br /> this time, but to be thinking about the possibility of placement at <br /> State highways such as Woodside Road, El Camino Real or near <br /> the bus station. The idea being that Caltrans will provide the labor <br /> and it is possible there might be State or Federal grants for this <br /> proposal. <br /> <br /> Public Comment: <br /> <br /> Penny Hatfield stated she lives in Woodside Plaza area on the <br /> opposite side of Woodside Road and that it is very difficult to get to <br /> the other side of the street. She stated she is not obviously visually <br /> impaired, but she is legally blind and cannot see the lights and must <br /> go up to the crosswalk with no light and is challenged by the cars <br /> when trying to cross. She further stated that there are others with <br /> more difficulty than her and that many services needed are on the <br /> opposite side of Woodside Road. Consensus by Council was for <br /> staff to pursue the idea. <br /> <br /> 4.C.
