Minutes of October 13, 1994 approved as submiued by the
Commission.
Request to Eliminate 2-Hour Parking Signs on Ralston Avenue
between Occidental Avenue and El Camino Real
From the floor, Ms. Spadoni stated that her neighbors agree that
the zoning is antiquated, no longer needed. Three neighbors were
present, and each one provided their input in support of this
request.
Sgt. McDonnell's concern is that removing these signs may bring
those parking on Howard and Burlingame Avenues to Ralston
Avenue. Ralston residents feel that this will not be a problem
since Crescent Avenue is unlimited parking and they do not park
there. Staff mentioned that during the upcoming Christrnas sales,
part-time employees might choose to park there.
Request for No Parking Signs on Rollins at Oak Grove and Yield
Sign on East Lane, Southbound, at South Lane
Comm. Evans stated the Police Department felt this request and
the diagram were somewhat confused. Sgt. McDonnell stated the
Yield sign was requested for the main thoroughfare, East Lane,
when the secondary street, South Lane, should have been the
requested location.

4.2 DISCUSSION ITEMS.
4.2.1 Comm. Karp thanked Mr. Dellaway for sending a memo to the
Fire Department regarding the problem with the light timing
problem at the California Drive station. Also thanked the
secretary for sending, as requested, a thank you note to the Mayor
for shared correspondence.
NEW BUSINESS.
Request for Stop Sign on Quesada, Southbound, at Ray Drive and on Ray Drive,
Eastbound, at Quesada
Comm. Karp would like to review this site and discuss this at the next meeting.
Staff sees no problem with this location. The apparent problem exists for a
duration of only 45 minutes which seems small for 24-hotx control. Sgt.
McDonnell stated that Quesada is a connector road for Ray Park and Trousdale
traffic. Since lll9l, there has been only one minor accident; and it was parking-
related. In July 1993, the Police Department, as requested by a local resident,
provided selective enforcement for this location. There were not a lot of citations
issued at this location. Sgt. McDonnell stated that in 30 days, the City will
acquire a radar display trailer; and this location would be the perfect site for it.
This item will be a Discussion Item next month.
6.2 Request for Crosswalk at the Intersection of Ray and Devereux Drives and Speed
Bumps
Comm. Norton suggested that the commissioners look at this site before
discussing in depth. Comm. Karp suggested this may be an opportunify for using
speed humps as discussed recently. This will be a Discussion Item at the next
meeting.
7. INFORMATION ITEMS.
Staff advised that the City is tearing up El Camino Real for new sewer and water
lines.

7.2 Comm. Mayer asked about the progress for rubberized railroad crossings on
Broadway. Staff advised that the City is starting an agreement with the City of
Redwood City to design the crossings. Although we do have funds, cost
estimates are not firm. Broadway, Oak Grove Avenue and the Burlingame half
of Peninsula Avenue are on the projected project list.
