He felt the numbers should be the same for both afternatives for comparison purposes. City Planner reviewed and agreed that the 50 percent number could be changed to 25 percent. Council was in agreement to this change. Councilman Pagliaro's other concern about this contract was that the EIR $/ould only address those items checked yes on the "Initial Study" attached to the report. The only item checked yes under Public Services that would be affected was Police protection. He fel-t that both Fireprotection and Park and Recreational facilities could also be affected. During a disaster, should the freeway overpasses be blocked, there would be no fire protection on that side of the freeway. Perhaps consideration should be given to a Fire Station on that side of the freeway. Re- garding Park and Recreation, he was concerned that traffic could impactto such a degree that city was mandated to consider a roadrray through Bays j-de Park .
