To Councilman Bricken's question asking for the total cost of the project, Mr. Foust answered that the asphalt would cost $10,000, the signing and striping $2,500 per mile, or a total of approximately $17,000. The Council heard comments in opposition to the bike trail the parking restriction in conjunction therewith, from the following: or Mr. Valdez, Flamingo Bar, 3642 West 5th Street Mr. Orin Day, 701 East Avalon, General Manager, Anaheim Auto Salvage on 5th Street Mr. C. L. Burnett, Wholesale Plumbing and Supply Company, 3621 West 5th Street Mr. Jack Dexter, Amling's Greenhouse, 2420 West 5th Mr. Elwood Waas, 3929 West 5th Mr. Alex Lundstrom, 3109 Manitoba The consensus was that they would favor the use of Hazard Street as opposed to Fifth Street because of the width of the street, the traffic hazard, and the availability of park and school facilities on Hazard. Mr. Dexter is generally opposed to the bike trail on Fifth because he feels it would increase the incidence of vandalism which he has experienced at the greenhouse facility. There were no other opponents or proponents; the Clerk reported there were no other written communications; and the Mayor closed the public hearing. Staff response to these comments, made by Mr. Joe Foust, Traffic Engineer, was that moving a portion of the bike lane to Hazard would produce a zig-zag course for the bike riders; and that it would create additional cost to improve, sign and stripe the north-south streets and to provide traffic signals which would be necessary for the protection of the riders. Councilman Ward asked staff what the City has done to increase safety in the area of Fifth and Euclid. Mr. Foust said that at Sixteenth and Euclid and at Fifth and Euclid staff proposed to illuminate the pedestrian crossing, zebra stripe the crosswalks, reflectorize the lane marks, and install sodium vapor lighting; and to illuminate the cross walks at Seventh Street. The Council instructed the City Attorney to prepare a Kesolu- tion removing the parking and establishing the bike lane on Fifth Street as recommended, on motion of Councilman Yamamoto, seconded by Councilman Nard, and approved [6-1] with Council- man Markel dissenting.
