Item 6d Amador High School Pedestrian Traffic Signal (CIP No. 975034). (SR98:43) Randall Lum presented the staff report. Ms. Ayala asked staff to explain the intersection modifications at Jensen Street? Mr. Lum said where the stop bar is currently located at Jensen Street, the line of sight is blocked by the trees. He said a proposal was to move the stop bar back a few feet back and curve the medium angle, but this was rejected by the neighborhood. The residents felt the only appropriate solution was to remove the trees. Ms. Ayaia asked if the modification would work at all? Mr. Lum said it would not work as well as removing two of the trees. Staff recommended removing the trees because the neighborhood supported it. Ms. Michelotti asked about the removal of the other two existing trees? Mr. Lum said one tree would need to be removed for the crosswalk itself and the other tree would need to be removed for the site alignment for the signal. Two trees were being removed for the bus bay. Ms. Michelotti had a concern with removing two trees. She felt removing the second tree would open the line of sight on Santa Rita to as far as the railroad crossing. She suggested removing only one tree for the signal. Vice Mayor Dennis asked for public testimony. Pleasanton City Council 3/03/98 Minutes 5
