Mr. Lum explained that Kaiser was concerned that children have already gotten under <br />the existing fence and it wanted an additional buffer zone. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti asked how high the proposed fence would be and if there were an <br />easement for the proposed trail. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lum said the fence would be six feet and the use of the property is under <br />negotiation. <br /> <br /> Kim Avon, 1992 Martin Avenue, spoke in support of widening Cameron with a bike <br />lane. She described the people she has seen use the area and school is not even open yet. She <br />felt there were far more people who wanted the path than the few residents who were opposed. <br />If this alternate access to the school is not approved, she believed Council will be receiving <br />many complaints about traffic problems in front of the school on Stoneridge. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti believed the path should be closer to the posts. <br /> <br /> Ms. Avon was only concemed that the children be visible. <br /> <br /> Carol Golden, 3693 Mohr Avenue, agreed with the prior speakers and indicated it was <br />extremely important that the kids get to school safely. She tried to get this constructed a year <br />ago and was sorry it has taken so long. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti indicated a letter had been submitted by Terrilynn Johnson, 3611 <br />Cameron Avenue, who was opposed to the bike path because she felt a back entrance to the <br />school was inadvisable; liability problems because of the public park; most people drive their <br />children and not many would use the path; the path is only the beginning of changes some <br />people would like in her neighborhood and she wants to preserve it as it is; and there should be <br />a traffic study before any changes are made. Ms. Johnson urged Council to either delete the <br />Martin path project or postpone a decision until traffic patterns can be evaluated. <br /> <br /> There was no further public input. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Mayor Tarver, seconded by Ms. Ayala, to (1) approve plans and <br />specifications for Project No. 978064, the Cameron and Martin Avenue sidewalk; review <br />the bids and award the contract to Gradetech, Inc., for a low bid of $51,250; authorize an <br />indemnity agreement with Kaiser Sand and Gravel; authorize the City Manager to sign the <br />above contract and agreement; appropriate an additional $20,000 from the General Fund <br />revenues; and direct the City Manager to work with Kaiser to reduce the cost of the new <br />fence. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 08/26/97 <br />Minutes 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
