WORK STUDY SESSION The Mayor reported on a meeting held the previous evening with representatives of North Central Santa Ana regarding implementation of the traffic plan approved by the Council for that neighborhood. He indicated various secj~ents of the neighborhood were in disagreement regarding the Plan and noted two items which he felt might assist with resolution of neighborhood disagreement: 1) installation of a "no right turn" sign in lieu of a sign symbolizing no right turn, at Flower and Memory Lane and 2) possible dismissal of tickets issued prior to July 15 to persons who had violated the no right turn. He asked staff to investigate taking action on these issues, and expressed the opinion that if the City were to take the initial conciliatory step that it might lead to concessions on the part of the neighbors.
