TRAFFIC Mr. Rudy Murietta, who owns a business at First and Standard, stated that he was opposed to the installation of "Right Turn Only" signs facing northbound and southbound traffic at this intersection; that it would be harmful to their business; that per- haps there is another way of handling the problem, such as installing a traffic signal. In response to a question from the MaYor, the Assistant Director of Public Works stated that when First Street is Widened, a physical barrier will be placed across Standard; that the underpass just east of Standard is designed for two lanes of traffic in each direction, which requires getting six lanes of traffic into four lanes; that in order to do this in a safe manner, side friction must be eliminated. Councilman Markel stated that the City should be planning to open up streets, not close them off; that perhaps the problem could be eased if Standard were widened from Chestnut to First Street at the time consideration is given to widening East First Street.
