The recommendation will not be implemented because it is not warranted <br />or reasonable, with an explanation therefore. <br /> <br />The City Council has authorized me to present the City's response to the Court. <br />The Redwood City Council at its meeting of May 18,2009 approved the <br />responses to the findings and recommendations. <br /> <br />FINDINGS <br /> <br />Finding #1 <br />Redwood City currently has one camera. The RWCPD also requested approval <br />from Ca/trans for installation of cameras at three Caltrans intersections which <br />have a history of frequent collisions involving red light violations. <br /> <br />Response <br />The City agrees partially with the finding. The police department has <br />requested approval for two additional camera systems at Caltrans <br />intersections. The department is planning to add a third camera system at <br />a non-Caltrans intersection. <br /> <br />Finding #2 <br />CUlT8ntly, there is no photo enforcement notification sign alerting traffic traveling <br />eastbound on Whipple Avenue towards Veterans Boulevard. There are signs <br />posted at a/I major entry points into Redwood City, as well as, southbound <br />Veterans Boulevard before and after the intersection at Whipple Avenue. There <br />is a pole on eastbound Whipple Avenue that appears to have sufficient space for <br />the addition of 8 sign notifying drivers that the intersection Is monitored by 8 <br />camera. <br /> <br />Response <br />The City agrees partially with the finding. There is no sign alerting traffic <br />traveling eastbound on Whipple Avenue towards Veterans Boulevard. <br />There are signs posted at all major entry points into Redwood City, <br />including, at a minimum, freeways, bridges, and state highway routes (16 <br />total), as well as on southbound Veterans Boulevard north of Whipple <br />Avenue. <br /> <br />The sign on Veterans Boulevard south of Whipple Avenue was removed <br />as it was originally placed there in error. It has been moved to westbound <br />Whipple Avenue east of Veterans Boulevard. <br /> <br />2 <br />
