Councilmember Mercer suggested that the formula for contribution to the traffic signal be based on size of acreage of the property owners involved. Councilmember Mercer stated he felt the speed limit should be reduced and that staff should contact Caltrans immediately regarding improvement from the Interchange to the Freeway. He added he felt there should be a sign when coming off the Freeway going west that reads "Caution - Left Turn Lane Ahead".. Councilmember Mercer stated he felt that the 62 acre parcel across from McDonald's should have a frontage intersection further south on Santa Rita Road. Councilmember Mercer stated he thought the McDonald's free-standing sign is attractive as proposed. Councilmember Mercer stated he felt McDonald's should be required to provide security guards of some form, possibly off-duty Pleasanton policemen after the r~staurant opens to see if there is going to be any problems at this site. Councilmember Butler stated he concurred with most of Councilmember Mercer's suggestions. He stated he felt there should be bike trails on both sides of the street.
