OI,D BUSINESS:
com. craham requested staff report on conaol idation of S.P.R.R. stations.
Engr. Moore reported essentially no change, but felt a study of the
proposal would be performed as soon as CALTRANS rras able to authorize
one.
NEW BUSINESS:
Engr. Moore presented a request from the residents of the 1100 block
of Laguna Avenue to make the street one way or restrict parking on
the street. They have problems negotiating the street due to heavy
parking occupancy, narro$, street width, and tiro-way traffic. Engr.
lloore endorsed the one-way operation as being in conformance with the
adjoining streets. He suggested that Laguna Avenue should be one way
southbound, and the existing southbound pattern on Chula Vista Avenue
be reversed to northbound only. fhie would alternate the one-way
directions every block and improve traffic circulation. Ihe Commission
deferred any recommendation until the September meeting to allow the
membe re an opportunity to evaluate the situation indi.vidually.
Mr. Walter Kentz1er, a locaL businessman, asked for increased enforce-
ment of the short-term parking lirnits on Chapin Avenue because of the
use by long-term parkers in the short-term parking area. He also
suggested that if staff could obtain facts on the extent of this abuse,
the Chamber of Corune rce could prepare an informationaL release to its
membera alerting them to the serious conseguences of such abuse in
hopes of discouraging this practice.
Rev ieh, was made of l,!rs. A. A. Erickson' s letter. Staf f sras asked to
srrite her regarding present City plans in the subject areas.
