MATTERS INITIATED BY COMMISSION MEMBERS <br /> <br />Commissioner Finch reported that a metal sign advertising "hauling d clean-up" has been <br />placed on the fence at the intersection of Foothill Road and West La Positas. <br /> <br />Commissioner Michelotti stated she had not realized during the appr val process of Laguna <br />Oaks that there would be so many light standards along Foothill Roa . She added that the <br />rural feeling is gone, and Foothill Road has become a city boulevard She also inquired if <br />the traffic lights at Foothill Road and Bernal could be left off until e traffic flow warrants <br />turning them on. Mr. lserson reported that he believed the traffIc v lume already demands <br />that the lights be operable. <br /> <br />Commissioner Finch reported the access out of Jorgensen Lane is w rse since the <br />improvement of Foothill Rd. He also reported that the bridge on Be al needs to have a <br />pedestrian walkway. The current situation is unsafe for pedestrians. Mr. Higdon indicated <br />that originally the addition of a second bridge on Bernal was to have been built by this time; <br />adding that it will be another year before the second bridge is built. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hovingh reported that few people stop when making . ght or left turns at <br />Foothill and West Las Positas and travel at excessive speeds as well. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hovingh commented for the record that the General an Steering Committee <br />is reluctant to expand the size of the committee and give citizens of leasanton an <br />opportunity to express themselves and vote. He feels that unless the committee is expanded, <br />the idea of a "Citizen's Committee" is a charade. He added that the General Plan Steering <br />Committee, has been appointed by the Council, and does not represe t the views of the <br />citizens. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Minutes <br /> <br />Page 10 <br /> <br />September 8, 1993 <br />
