Other Speakers AI Spotorno, Box 487, Pleasanton, expressed his concerns about ihe new alignment of Sycamore Road from Snnol Boulevard to Sycamore Creek Way. He said it is impossible for agricultural trucks to make the turn and complained of his restricted access. He said he had been working with City staff since February to resolve this problem, but the process is taking too long. He needed to have improvements to the intersection before the rainy season begins. He suggested taking out the curbs. Mr. Lum acknowledged that Mr. Spotorno and other agricultural interests in the Iqappy Valley area have expressed their concerns. Staff has had meetings and done field tests. He believed the street was wide enough for fire engines but not wide enough for large agricultural trucks. Staff agrees some modification needs to be done on Snnol Boulevard and on Sycamore Creek Way and indicated a design would be finalized this week. They hope to start construction within two weeks and expect completion of the project within three weeks. Mr. Spotomo believed the project would take longer and indicated his family was already experiencing an economic bardship. He said it is ironic that his family dedicated land to the county for Alisal, Sycamore and Happy Valley roads and now they are denied full access to their property.
