has a license and has been threatened by a violent, convicted felon, then he can retire a happy Ms. Mohr felt trying the case against Judge Hyde is not appropriate for the City Council and urged the Mayor to discourage any more of this. Mr. Tarver believed the Judge Hyde matter was in the jurisdiction of the courts and other legal bodies. The request before Council is for public records, and he felt staff has done everything it could to provide the public records requested. Angelina Summers, 4750 Sutter Gate Avenue, requested a right hand turn from Stoneridge Drive to Bradley Drive. There is construction on the east and west side of Bradley and she asked if the developers could pay to install the right hand turn lane. Bill van Gelder, Traffic Engineer, indicated this had been discussed and Thoratec Laboratories is considering the proposal. Staff is working toward implementing the right hand turn. Jan Batcheller, 644 St. Mary Street, indicated she did not understand why Council was focussing its transportation energies in the manner it is. She was concerned about public safety and presented statistics on the number of accidents, fatalities, injuries and multi-vehicle accidents that have occurred at Highway 84 (between 1-580 and 680), at the 1-580/680 interchange, and at the Vineyard Avenue "S" curve. Council has spent a lot of time discussing the Vineyard Avenue "S" curve and she felt it was amazing since Highway 84 and the 1-580/680 have far more safety issues that need to be addressed. She referred to the objection of the mayor that Dublin have access from the slipramps from the flyover. Pleasanton received access at Hopyard and she felt the regional issue should be a win/win situation for all involved. She also believed the mayor had been more concerned that Livermore received an additional $5 million from Measure B dedicated to Highway 84 than getting the highway fixed. She asked Council to remember there have been 1,063 accidents, 7 fatalities, 353 injuries and 850 multi-vehicle accidents on Highway 84 in the short distance between 1-580 and 680 making it one of the most dangerous sections of highway in California. If public safety is the priority, Council must deal with these three projects in the order of the number of accidents and fatalities at each location. She urged Council to fix the big problems first. 4.
