speeding, the drivers are not slowing down for pedestrians and are going over the solid yellow line. Due to the heavy traffic volume of tracks going in and out at the same time, several people have had to jump off'the side of the road. If speeding could not be enforced, she wondered what would happen when 700 plus golf course cars are introduced on their streets. Ms. Host~mxan wondered why there were ongoing complaints, and asked if there was a way for the Project Manager to sit down with the contractors and inform them that they are going through a neighborhood and stress the need to slow down on the way to and from work. Mr. Wilson mentioned there is currently a change in emphasis on the constmetion, as the contractor is in the process of bringing in large truckloads of gravel for the roads. He has expressed the city's concerns regarding speeding related to construction traffic with the President of the company and has had similar conversations with the supervisor who is also on site. They have both indicated to him that they cannot necessarily control the traffic because it is not their firm delivering the gravel. Today two police officers were sent out to the project to enforce the speed limit but at the time they were there, tracks were not speeding. He explained that staff is fairly limited in controlling the speeding, as there is nothing in the terms of the gnlf course contract that would require drivers to go the normal speed limit. Staff is trying to stay on top of it but is somewhat limited most of the roadways are in the county. Mr. Bmzosky asked if there were any signs posted at the entrance of Sycamore that would alert constructions tracks they are entering a residential neighborhood and would need to adhere to the speed limit of 25 miles per hour. Mr. Wilson said there are no specific signs for construction traffic. There do exist speed limit signs that say 25 miles per hour. He mentioned truck drivers are motivated by trying to get their loads in and out as quickly as they can. Staffcannot control when they go up the street, but staffcan control when they let go of their load. So if they get there early, they will not be allowed to unload, which leaves them no incentive to start early. Jerry Wagner, 6344 Alisal Street, mentioned the constant noise of traffic going down Sycamore, Alisal and Happy Valley Road. He noted that there is too much traffic on those streets, that the noise is annoying and that it is not safe. He felt the City should not allow construction work to be done on Saturdays and Sundays for any type of construction or work on the golf come. In response to Mr. Bmzosky's question regarding the days allowed for construction work at the golf course, Mr. Wilson stated that construction is allowed on Saturdays. Kevin Close, 871 Sycamore Road, concurred with the previous speakers' comments related to traffic. He felt the increased traffic was due to the impact of the golf course and not related to the General Plan or local traffic. He believed the annexation did Pleasanton City Council 8 09/16/03 Minutes
