City Manager Fialho confirmed that CRIL participated in the plans for both items. Daniel Smith, Director of Operation Services, acted as the primary point of contact and informed the Council that CRIL provided significant design input at the public meeting on March 19; coupled with recommendations from the consultant retained by the City, staff has recommended a design that CRIL happily supports. Councilmember McGovern asked that CRIL also be allowed to review the results of the City Streets Survey and that staff accept their input on streets that are, from their unique perspective, difficult to travel. Mr. Fialho confirmed the coordination, as did Mr. Smith, who said that it has been a priority on both projects since they represent the ADA community in the Tri- Valley. Councilmember McGovern asked and confirmed that staff would also address any concerns voiced by youth and public safety activist Jereen Gilbert. Mayor Hosterman opened the item for public comment. Jereen Gilbert reviewed the reasons for and history of Items 3 and 4 and thanked the Council for finally moving forward with both. She called attention to outstanding safety issues at the intersections of Santa Rita Road and Mohr Avenue as well as Santa Rita Road and Stoneridge Drive. She asked that both be given higher priority as they have equal urgency in terms of safety. Mayor Hosterman closed the public comment. City Council Minutes Page 2 of 17 April 7, 2009
