One grammar school sfident in the audience advised he must sometimes wait for up to 15 cars to go by before he can safely cross at Bayswater and Arundel.

Sgt. Tokarski advised of other alternatives available for consideration. 7.2 Mr. Dellaway asked for the Commission's direction regarding Councilman Spinelli asking that all vans, trailers and large vehicles parking on the east side of California Drive north of Oak Grove Avenue be limited - possibly to 10 hours.
