UNSCHEDULED ITEM NO. 1: REQUEST FOR PERMISSION TO IMPROVE THE INTERSECTION OF PAGE MILL ROAD AND ARASTRAD.ERO ROAD. Staff reviewed their discussions with the Palo Alto Unified School District regarding safety improvements that should be made at this corner. It was noted that presently school buses coming East on Arastradero could not negotiate a right turn onto Page Mill Road without crossing the double yellow line due to an inadequate turning radius and the visual barrier created by the end three Eucalyptus trees in the existing grove along Arastradero. The fact that Page Mill Road narrows abruptly at this point compounds the hazard. Staff stated that the School District agreed to remove the three trees on their property and dedicate sufficient right of way, it the Tows would accomplish the roadway improvements at this intersection which consist of engineering, construction, relocation of public utilities and repainting of pave- ment markers. The cost to the Town for these improvements was estimated at $4125.00 from the "road -in -lieu" fund. Council discussion concurred with the Tom Engineer's recommendation. MOTION, SECONDED AND CARRIED: Councilman Helgesson moved, seconded by Grabowski and carried by unanimous roll call vote, that 84125.00 be allocated from the "Road -in - Lieu -Feel? Fund for improvement of the Page Mill/Arastradero Road intersection.
