4.2.2
Crosswalk Protection - Cal ifornia Drive at Carmelita (Kerwin Galleries).
Traffic Engineer Tom Moore did research dating back to January 1971,
regarding the number of accidents for this area.
Accidents at this location have been no higher than average. Warrants
for Stop signs or signals have not been met.
Commission di gcussion. Crosswalk and "Ped x ing" markings have re-
cently been repainted making i t easier to see; repaving and land-
scaping of CalTrain parking lot may increase cars parked in 1ot using
entrance at Carmelita; Encore parking (if approved) may also increase
use in future; not warranted now but should monitor for future need.
Motion was made and seconded (Johnson/Sulger) to deny instalIation of
traffic controls at this iocation. Motion was approved unanimously.
Tom Moore will send a letter to Kerwin Galleries informing of Com-
mission's decision, also of the newly painted crosswalks.
Encore Theatre Review - Traffic Study. Present for this discussion
were Anthony J. Gschwend, Consultant, and Kenn Weeks, Developer.
Consultant made a brief presentation on traffic report. Staff pre-
sented report with comments on proposed development.
Commission discussion. Unusual for this Commission to review pro-
as this; review should be confined to traffic
ot "desirabi lity" of project; discussion
that S. P. lot parking charges wiil "probably"
increase when CalTrans buys station, This may dissuade theatre
patrons from using lot; should not consider Stanaway lot as this
'is a private lot; additional development on Broadway underway
