CityCouncil | 2008-05-06 | 15 | Under discussion, Vice Mayor Tam stated that she will not support the motion; the 2005 traffic and parking study did not identify an access issue; a change is being proposed with the idea of waiting to see if the change is problematic; the process seems a little backwards ; she does not understand why the Police and Fire Departments went to the Transportation Commission rather than Council; there was not enough time to have a full discussion to provide strategic alternatives that would make sense for everyone. Mayor Johnson stated the Transportation Commission did not make a recommendation that she does not think the Police Department's recommendation should be portrayed as wait and see; the Police Department is recommending what they believe is safe. Councilmember Matarrese stated that his motion is not intended to be a wait-and-see approach and includes having Police Department representatives at the intersection at peak times to provide information, direct traffic, and provide enforcement as needed; he does not support putting in hard construction measures without additional data. Councilmember Gilmore stated that she is in favor of the commercial and passenger loading zones; she is concerned about the extra red curbing on the corner because of people pulling out around cars making left turns, the defacto right-turn lane, and pedestrians crossing the street; she would not want to put in hard construction measures but would be in favor of putting in some planters to prevent the defacto right turn lane; she will not support the motion. On the call for the question, the motion carried by the following voice vote: Ayes : Councilmembers deHaan, Matarrese, and Mayor Johnson - 3. Noes Councilmembers Gilmore and Tam - -2.
