Councilmember Mohr stated that a resident on Bernal Avenue has written her request- ing that the street name "01d Bernal Avenue" be changed to "Bernal Court" so that traffic will not come down this street thinking it is a thru street. Mr. Warnick advised that the street will be called "Bernal Court" at the end of the street and that signs will be posted for "No Thru Traffic". Councilmember Wood stated that the landscaping plan for Valley Plaza II does not seem to be adequate, and he requested this be looked at.
