Traffic-Calming Measures on McGarvey Avenue . (702) <br /> Recommendation: <br /> Approve, by motion, installation of permanent traffic-calming devices to include a) <br /> speed tables on McGarvey Avenue between Farm Hill Boulevard and Alameda de <br /> Las Pulgas and, b) a traffic circle at McGarvey Avenue/Chesterton Avenue (east). <br /> Minute Order 10-011 <br /> Peter Vorametsanti, City Engineer, presented the staff report (presentation on file). He <br /> provided details about the geographical context of the area. Mr. Delgado, Associate <br /> Engineer, presented elements of the proposed traffic calming measures as well as the stop <br /> signs. Staff also explained the traffic speed tables, summarizing the different inputs <br /> received through petitions, non-residents and from the bicycling community. <br /> One Council Member inquired about traffic circles in other areas and Mr. Vorametsanti <br /> explained these are not really new. Another Council Member discussed the stop sign and <br /> how this is not really a traffic calming device. <br /> Public Comment <br /> Dennis Tremain spoke about the area and showed a slide where he finds there is a <br /> hazard. He also submitted a letter for the record and his preference is to remove the traffic <br /> circle. <br /> Jean Brook agreed with the prior speaker and opined that the main problem is that people <br /> do not follow traffic rules in the area. <br /> Jim Peters has lived on McGarvey for 25 years and the circle is in front of his house. He <br /> said that being airborne is easily achieved and on Friday and Saturday this happens <br /> regularly, however since the traffic circle is in it prevents this from happening. <br /> Gary Kah said that only 4% of the drivers going down McGarvey are of interest to the <br /> police. He believes an enforcement program would be wise and would pay for itself in that <br /> area. <br /> David Reis concurred with the previous speaker and he believes that enforcement would <br /> be more effective. <br /> REGULAR CITY COUNCIL JANUARY 11, 2010 <br /> MEETING MINUTES PAGE 7 <br /> MINUTE BOOK NO. 63 <br /> Page No. 007 <br />
