CA 140.20 The motion to adopt the resolution included a stipulation that Staff, under instruction from the Council, was to assist Mrs. Walker in her efforts to obtain funds under the program for the water system connection for the Howe-Waffle House under Category Item 8, Community Sponsored Improvement Projects. CA 85.1d PUBLIC HEARING BRISTOL STREET Mayor Garthe announced TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN that this was the time APPROVED and place for the public hearing of the Bristol Street Traffic Management Plan between Seventeenth Street and the Garden Grove Freeway. Public Works Director John Stevens referred to the report dated December 21, 1976, prepared by Joe Foust, Traffic Engineer. He stated that as the result of negative reaction to the Bristol Street widening project, this hearing is being held to discuss proposed measures to improve the flow of traffic while still providing the curb to curb width and generally existing roadway characteristics; there are three recommendations for a minimum expense that would considerably improve conditions: 1) Altera- tion of signals to provide a dual left turn lane at the Bristol Street-Memory Lane intersection; 2) Elimination of parking on Bristol Street between Seventeenth Street and Santiago Creek, so that a ten-foot median could be striped as a continuous median to permit a two-way median left turn; and 3) The closure of the entrance to Elm Street at Bristol Street to eliminate its use as a detour through residential streets. Clerk of the Council Florence I. Malone reported that a written communication was received from Thomas E. Moore in favor of the recommendations for traffic management. Kenneth Williams, 2309 North Hesperian, spoke in favor of the closure of Elm Street. Dottie Pettinger, 2408 North Bristol, suggested that temporary street closures are unsightly and more expensive to maintain; that a permanent closure should proceed as soon as possible; and that she would favor the widening of the Santiago Creek Bridge. John Coil, 2395 North Flower, spoke in favor of the recommendation. There being no further speakers, Mayor Garthe closed the hearing. The following motion made by Councilman Bricken, seconded by Councilman Yamamoto, carried 5:0 unanimously: 1) Adopt the recommendations of Staff, as follows: a) Reconstruct the Bristol Street-Memory Lane intersection to provide dual left-turn lanes on Bristol Street, b) Eliminate parking on Bristol Street between Seventeenth Street and Santiago Creek for the purpose of re-striping to provide a two-way left-turn median, and, CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 54 FEBRUARY 7, 1977
