PRESENTATIONS FROM THE FLOOR <br />Dru Anderson addressed the Council with regard to traffic on the Arastradero corridor. She <br />referenced a February 2007 memo written by her husband, Robert Anderson, addressing traffic <br />concerns. The Council was asked to look at the Arastradero corridor to make it safer for the 50 <br />homes in the area. <br />Breene Kerr reminded everyone about emergency preparedness and mentioned that Westwind <br />Barn was retrofitted to extremely high standards, was designed to survive a severe earthquake, <br />and could serve a valuable function in the event of an emergency. His suggestion was that the <br />Town consider installing a generator at the Barn as part of the Council's annual expenditures and <br />consider creating a self contained potable water system. <br />Duncan MacMillan, Education Committee member, advised that the Education Committee will <br />bring a letter to the April Council meeting requesting that the Council send a letter to the Palo <br />Alto Unified School District reiterating the Town's interest in the former Fremont Hills school <br />site, known as Pinewood School. <br />Debbie Newhouse presented a petition to the Council with regard to motorist/bicyclist safety at <br />Deer Creek and Purissima and the need for better signage for the bicycle trail. <br />John Meadows spoke about the Deer Creek/Purissima bike trail.
