17TH STREET MEDIAN In response to
Council's determina-
tion at its meeting
of February 24, 1975
to reconsider its decision to install medians in 17th
Street between Ross and Main Streets, the staff presented
alternate plans for consideration; Plan A has no additional
street openings, Plan B has a street opening at Sycamore,
Plan C has a street opening at Durant. The Director of
Public Works stated that he had found one study, done in
Texas regarding the effect of medians on business in which
it was stated that there was some business loss, but not
all chargeable to the construction of the median, that
other factors were found to be causative; that there was
no advantage to being located near a median opening,~ losses
in left turns were offset by right turning.traffic, and by,
changes in routes developed.
Councilman Garthe stated that he had talked to tko business
people on 17th Street; that they are not interested in a
median; that the business people are willing to plant trees
in the sidewalk area; and that he had changed his mind on
this matter.
Councilman Markel stated that he was ready and willing to
advocate the approval of no median.
Councilman Griset expressed his support for Plan C in the
interest of safety.
Councilman Yamamoto agreed with Councilman Griset, and said
he would vote for the median (Plan C~ in the interest of
safety of the driving citizens and for estketic reasons.
Mr. Wade Herrin, 1505 N. Baker, advised Council that the
Fire Department is totally opposed to tko median plan) he
would like to have Chief ~udd invited to a meeting to express
his opinion; Mr. Herrin stated tkat he was a member of the
Council when the General Plan for the City. was adopted, and
that it was understood at that time that the specific pro,.
posals would be heard and decided as they~ came up, He
reported that the whole length of Convention Way in Las
Vegas is double striped with allowance for left turns, and
that the Police officers stated that there were no problems,
Councilman Bricken asked how beautification of the street
could be achieved without going the median route.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
93 MARCH 10, 1975
Councilman Yamamoto recommended the same treatment as on 17th
Street east of Grand Avenue; he expressed concern for over-
ruling the wishes of 100% of the businessmen on 17th Street.
Councilman Garthe moved and Mayor Evans seconded to delete
the plan for a median on 17th Street and to instruct the
staff to initiate and proceed to install a median similar to
that at 17th and Bristol.
Councilman Ward stated that the General Plan also includes
the Scenic Corridor Element and that the esthetic values
of the City should be considered.
The vote on the motion was as follows:
AYES: Garthe, Evans, Markel
NOES: Griset, Ward, Yamamoto, Bricken
ABSENT: None
Councilman Bricken stated that he felt that it was primarily
a design problem and that some attempt should be made to work
it out.
Councilman Griset moved to adopt Plan C, seconded by Council-
man Yamamoto.
Mr. Dick Marshall, 2507 East Santa Clara, brought pictures of
other City medians to.show what they do not want. He also
stated that as to safety, there had been very few accidents
in this area of 17th Street in the last three years, in spite
of a traffic flow of 25,000 to 30,000 per day,; and tkat
medians could not improve the record,
Mr. Terrance Dickens, Real Estate Manager of Alpha Beta Mar-
kets, stated that he would be in favor of Plan C, which pro~
rides for an opening at Durant Street.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN presented the follow-
ing recommendations
concerning the Community Development Act of 1974 and re-
lated matters:
1. Council should act to insure that the Redevelop-
ment Agency feasibility study is stopped.
2. Council should form a Community Citizens' Advisory
Board as soon as possible.
Council should designate the Community Relations
Department of the City as the responsible authority
for the administration of the Community Development
Act funds.
Council should commit to the appointment of a
consultant as a community resource for the people
in the greater Delhi area to help in the planning
and use of the CD funds for long range planning
and development of the area, for instance, the
relocation of the National Guard Armory.
The City Manager recapped the progress of tko Community
Development Plan, stating that it had been submitted to
SCAG for the A-9S review; that subsequent to that it would
be filed with HUD; that there had been approximately
$5S,000 provided in the Community Development Plan for a
redevelopment study for the Delhi area, but there is no
study being done at the present time.
The City Manager stated further that if a majority of tko
people, after having heard a presentation, really de not
favor formulation of a Redevelopment Project Area, it will
not be recommended to the Council by staff; that a redeyelop~
ment project area could facilitate relocat±on of tko City
Yard and development of a community park; and that ke
favored meetings to explore the establishment of citizens'
advisory committees in the City's neighborhoods.
Mr. Spragg added that each project undertaken witk Community
Development funds would require its own Environmental Impact
Report.
Mr. Saavedra responded that the community's first priority
was relocation of the National Guard Armory and not tko
Corporation Yard. He further requested Council to make
available by July a consultant for the area if the money
is available, and he recommended Manuel Mendez or Barrio
Planners.

ation at the appropriate time.
