CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - April 3, 1974 <br />During Council discussion, Councilman Cheney stated that the Ordinance <br />was too restrictive and moved to refer it to the Traffic and Public Safety <br />Committee for study and recommendation. Councilman McReynolds seconded <br />the motion and Council unanimously concurred. <br />Councilman McReynolds also made the suggestion that Staff refer Ordinances <br />to the appropriate Committee prior to being submitted to Council as a <br />matter of course. <br />Speaking from the Floor opposing the Ordinance: <br />Mrs. M. Saviano, Corte Madera Ct., who felt citations was the wrong <br />approach to solving the bicycle problem. <br />H. STAFF REPORTS: <br />I. City Manager: <br />a) Mr. Lawson reported on the Santa Clara County Bicycle Safety Project <br />meeting he had attended with Mrs. A. Ginzton, and said that the County <br />Program was finally off the ground. Books on bicycle safety, as well as <br />other printed material were now ready for distribution to the schools <br />within the County, and the Program looked very promising. <br />b) Said that the Town, according to the Calif. Vehicle Code, could not <br />have the words "School Xing"at the entrance to the St. Nicholas School <br />off El Monte Road, and that the school would be so notified. The cross- <br />walks, however, had been re --stripped. <br />c) Directed Council's attention to several letters received from Mrs. <br />Goodrich, Horseshoe Lane. Mrs. Goodrich requested action on the traffic <br />problem existing on Arastradero Road at Purissima, citing accidents that <br />had occurred there because of the problem. <br />Council, upon motion by Councilwoman Miller and a second by Councilman <br />Helgesson, agreed unanimously to refer this letter to the Traffic and <br />Public Safety Committee for study and recommendation. <br />Mrs. Goodrich also wrote concerning a small piece of property adjacent to <br />IS280 below Horseshoe Lane, which none of the owners had improved and <br />which had become a visual problem. Mrs. Goodrich indicated she would be <br />happy to incur most of the expenses of improving the property, or even <br />purchasing it, but asked for Town support in this endeavor. <br />Councilwoman Miller moved that Staff be directed to investigate the <br />possibility of purchasing the referenced land, and simultaneously refer <br />Mrs. Goodrich's letter to the Environmental Design Committee for study <br />and recommendation. Councilman Helgesson seconded the motion and it was <br />%, passed unanimously. <br />-7- <br />
