Valley Avenue has, in the last sixteen years, changed from a two lane city street to a four lane arterial bus route, service and hauling truck route, fire truck, police and ambulance route, with all the accompanying sirens. 2. Vandalism to fences, pools and yards, from school children, excessive speeders and people awaiting A. C. Transit buses. 3. Increased traffic, due to newly constructed apartment-condo complex behin~ Amador Shopping Center, and a proposed new shopping and industrial area east of Santa Rita Road and Valley Avenue. The proposed extension of Valley Avenue to Berna! Avenue and hence to the freeway will further increase truck and auto traffic. 7. 11/22/83
