He said the tasks he had to perform over the <br /> years weren't always easy, but "Peter always approached those tasks with great dedication <br /> and professionalism, and our entire City has benefited ITom them." <br /> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> Mayor Hartnett recessed the Council Meeting at 7:50 p.m. in order to call to order the regular <br /> Redevelopment Agency Meeting. <br /> Council Meeting reconvened at 7:55 p.m. <br /> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> 2. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS (203) <br /> A. Ralph Nobles, 3720 Country Club Drive, Redwood City, addressed the issue of a <br /> connector road ITom Redwood Shores to Whipple Avenue as it related to Bair Island. He <br /> referred to a San Jose Mercury article quoting him as saying that road would never be <br /> built. He said that when he was quoted, he was actually referring to the old proposal for a <br /> road through Bair Island to be built by South Shores developers, and said obviously that <br /> road would never occur. But that was a different matter ITom a ITontage road. Mr. Nobles <br /> said, "there may be a mutual County and City interest in such a road." He said CalTrans <br /> '-- owns "a right-of-way that extends approximately 150 feet between the edge of the <br /> pavement over to the beginning of the Wildlife property. That's enough to put in four <br /> lanes of traffic." However, he questioned the purpose of such a road, its cost, who actually <br /> wanted it, and how best to meet the traffic needs of Redwood City. Mr. Nobles said the <br /> Redwood Shores Owners Association recently voted to oppose such a connector road. <br /> MEMO 2/25/97 <br /> Mayor Hartnett said the City is currently gathering information with respect to the <br /> possibilities of a connector road, and asked City Manager Everett to find out more about <br /> the 150 foot CalTrans right-of-way. <br /> MEMO 2/25/97 <br /> B. Hilary Paulson, 3733 Country Club Drive, Redwood City, asked the Council to increase <br /> the parking around Schaberg Library, especially in view of the proposed development at <br /> 2150 Roosevelt Avenue (Item 3.D. on the Agenda.) <br /> MEMO 2/25/97 <br /> Mrs. Paulson said the wonderful old play equipment had fmally been removed ITom <br /> Stulsaft Park, and asked Council to approve Park and Recreation's recommendations for <br /> - new equipment when it comes before the Council in the near future. <br /> MEMO 2/25197 <br /> REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTE BOOK NO. 55 FEBRUARY 24,1997 <br /> MINUTES Page No. 163 PAGE 2 <br />
