Staff Naclerio stated there was a $100 fee to appeal the decision to the Transportation Commission and if the appeal is not upheld, they could appeal it to the City Council. Commissioner Vargas called for the Commission to make a motion. Commissioner Schatmeier moved to accept staff recommendations. Commissioner Bellows seconded the motion. Commissioner Wong asked if she opposed the motion due to the need for staff to observe the intersection in terms of speed and safety how would she proceed or would she include an amendment. Staff Naclerio asked if she agreed that the stop sign is not warranted. Commissioner Wong replied she is in agreement with that, but she wanted staff to observe the area and monitor the speed levels for safety. Staff Naclerio asked Commissioner Schatmeier to possibly accept an amendment that states the Commission does not approve the appeal, but staff would continue to look at ways to improve the intersection by reducing speeds through installing bulb outs, striping and narrowing lanes. Commissioner Schatmeier explained that he would be open to amending the motion to include staff's additional recommendations.
