489 • through vehicle load-limit ordinance. e. Median landscaping be improved by replacing current gravel secticns with more permanent landscaping. f. Zoning on Del Valle to Main Street to remain residential or open space . CO 4 . Keep Stanley at its present alignment but improve its en- OD vironment by landscaping and sidewalks. Extending Del Valle to Stanley would be costly, disruptive and duplicating an Q existing road. To keep the flow of traffic on Main Street we recommend that no traffic signal or stop sign be placed on Main at Del Valle, noting that traffic on Main will drop con- siderably upon the completion of the Valley extension. 5 . Place appropriate signs on Hopyard at Stoneridge, West Las Positas and Valley directing traffic onto these road for cer- tain destinations. He added that this proposal was supported by approximately 80% of the residents in the area, as substantiated by a survey, copies of which were submitted to the City Manager for the record. Fur- thermore, the traffic study conducted by the firm of TJKM sub- stantiates the fact that each of the suggested proposals when applied to the traffic model will reduce traffic on Hopyard, Del Valle, Division, Main Street, and Stanley. Mr. Kahale stated that many residents on Black Avenue oppose the thoroughfare, and they have requested stop signs at Harvest and Greenwood to resolve some of the problems. He concluded by stating he felt this proposal is fair and adequate and will resolve many of the concerns of the Del Valle Parkway residents. Mr. Victor Bailey, Black Avenue, stated the residents on Black Avenue feel the traffic should be fairly distributed. He stated that Valley Avenue is a four lane street with two stop signs while Black Avenue is only two lanes with one stop sign. He added that more vehicles are using Black Avenue now in order to avoid one stop sign. He felt Del Valle should be widened to accommodate its fair share of the traffic flow. He stated he did not feel Del Valle Parkway should be widened to four lanes then two lanes be covered like I-580 was done. He advised there are 44 dwelling units on Del Valle Parkway and 104 dwelling units on Black Avenue. He expressed his concern regarding the need for safety measures on Black Avenue. He urged Council to look at this issue clearly ald follow the General Plan. He requested a four-way stop sign be installed at Harvest and Black, near Har- vest Park School . Mrs. Jack Opiola, representing the Walnut Grove School Parent Faculty Association, presented a letter from this group thanking Council for the newly installed four-way stop at Greenwood and Black, and requesting a four-way stop at Black Avenue and Harvest Road. She added there are over one thousand students at Walnut Grove Elementary School who should be adequately protected. She also presented a letter from Robert W. Wakeling of the Walnut Grove School , requesting a stop sign on Black Avenue at the corner of Harvest Road. 10-15-85 - 6 -
