The proposed locations are: a) Park Street at Pacific Avenue, b) Park Street at Webb Avenue/Times Way, c) Park Street mid-street crosswalk between Santa Clara Avenue and Central, and d) Webster Street at Taylor Avenue. Commissioner Adrienne Longley- Cook asked why the locations selected for the inpavement lights were only along Park Street and Webster Street. In particular she questioned why locations at Shore Line Drive and Willow Street were not selected. The Secretary informed the Commission that the project is grant funded and that these locations cannot be changed. The Secretary will forward suggested location to staff for future consideration. Commissioner Audrey Lord-Hausman stated that the community needs to be better informed on the intent and purpose of the lighted crosswalks, that they should not be treated like a crosswalk at a traffic signal. A suggestion was made that AP&T CATV Channel 31 be used as an outreach and training aid. Commissioner Adrienne Longley-Cook stated that some of the lights at the Eighth Street/Portola Street lighted crosswalk are not working. The Secretary will inform Maintenance staff. 4. Pedestrian Access during Construction of Parking Garage: See minutes under Guest above for comments of pedestrian access. Commissioner Adrienne Longley-Cook stated that pedestrians, including a large number of high school students, are walking in the middle of Oak Street and not using the open west side sidewalk. Motion carried to recommend that temporary access be provided for safe access on the east side of Oak Street. OLD BUSINESS: 5. Cineplex Theater: The Secretary reviewed the Cineplex building plans with the Commission. Most of the eleven suggestions by the Commission's October 24, 2005 have been included in the design.

The Secretary informed Mr. Bunker that these locations are the standard locations for a stadium seating style Cineplex.
