MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Motion by Radford, seconded by Waldeck and passed unanimously to approve an Ad Hoc Traffic Safety Committee, with Mayor Summit as the Council liaison; and the Mayor would make the appointments to the Committee. b. Traffic Study for Arastradero/Stirrup Way Intersection • City Engineer/Public Works Director Richard Chiu introduced the item to the Council. With regard to the Stanford C-2 Pathway Project, residents expressed concern about the intersection at Arastradero Road and Stirrup Way, specifically adequate sight distance from Stirrup Way to Arastradero Road. The Town's Traffic Consultant looked at the intersection and provided a letter indicating there was adequate sight distance at the intersection. Councilmember Radford questioned whether staff was looking at the crossing of Page Mill Road into the Arastradero Preserve. Chiu advised that the intersection would be looked at with the analysis for the Stanford C-2 trail. Mayor Summit added that the Pathways/Open Space Committee would have a joint meeting to look at the corridor prior to the item returning to Council. c. Trail Crossing Improvement Project (Staff: R.Chiu) Reso# 21-11 City Engineer/Public Works Director Richard Chiu introduced the item to Council. The Pathways Committee, in August 2010, approached staff with regard to crossings at four locations: Artemis Ginzton Path at Moody Road, Packard Path at Elena Road, Black Mountain Path at Elena Road, and Moody at Elena. The Town authorized a traffic consultant to look at the four locations and make recommendations. Based on the recommendations, staff obtained estimates from various contracts; two proposals were received, with the low bidder being Republic ITS, in the amount of$80,000. Staff's recommendation is that the Council approve the contract with Republic ITS and authorize the City Engineer a contingency fund of$10,000 for the project. 4 Approved City Council Regular Meeting Minutes April 21,2011 I
