179 <br /> <br />Boulevard as a similar street. He stated that if the neighbors <br />are willing to stop at the stop signs then everyone else should be <br />willing to also stop. He stated he will support all four stop <br />signs, as stop signs have created safer streets. <br /> <br /> Councilmember Brandes stated he supports the installation of <br />the stop signs but would emphasize that they are not the complete <br />answer to the speeding problem; all other methods of safety need <br />to be adherred to in addition to the stop signs. <br /> <br /> Councilmember Butler stated he has no disagreement about the <br />speeding problem; that is a problem on every collector street in <br />the City. He felt the only real answer to the speeding problem is <br />aggressive patroling. Another answer is by making it more <br />difficult for cars to pass other cars. He disagreed that stop <br />signs will correct the speeding problem and felt they create a <br />dangerous situation for pedestrians. <br /> <br /> Mr. Elliott advised that the stop signs could be installed by <br />the end of the week. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Mayor Mercer, and seconded by Councilmember <br />Wilson, that Resolution No. 88-457, establishing four-way stop <br />signs on West Las Positas Boulevard at Gulfstream, Pimlico, East <br />Rockingham and West Suffolk Way, be adopted. <br />The roll call vote was as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers Brandes, Mohr, Wilson, and Mayor Mercer <br />NOES: Councilmember Butler <br />ABSENT: None <br /> <br />East Bay Regional Park District Consideration of Skateboard Ramp <br />at Shadow Cliffs Park <br /> Councilmember Mohr stated she attended a public hearing held <br />by East Bay Regional Park District which discussed the possibility <br />of constructing a skateboard ramp at Shadow Cliffs Park. She <br />requested Council concurrence to send a letter of support to the <br />East Bay Regional Park District regarding this matter, since <br />Pleasanton is unable to provide a skateboard ramp facility. <br /> <br /> Council discussion ensued regarding possible annexation of <br />Shadow Cliffs to the City, and the availability of sewer permits <br />for improvements at the Park. <br /> <br /> Councilmember Brandes stated that as liaison to the agency he <br />favors annexation as it will give the City control of the uses at <br />the Park. He felt it would be better to wait and respond to the <br />entire project than to address the skateboard issue at this time. <br /> <br /> It was moved by Councilmember Mohr, and seconded by <br />Councilmember Butler, to send a letter to the East Bay Regional <br />Park District in support of a skateboard facility being installed <br />at Shadow Cliffs Park but reserving comments on the total plan of <br />the Park. <br /> <br /> - 7 - 9-20-88 <br /> <br /> <br />
