(IR 02:060) go Adopted Ordinance No. 1873, an ordinance amending the City of Pleasanton Code by adding a Commercial and Civic Green Building ordinance, as filed under Case PRZ-09. Accepted the Traffic Committee Minutes - November 7, 2002. (IR 02:058) No action was required or taken on this item. Ellen Olson, 301 Diamond Court, referred to the discussion in the Traffic Committee Minutes of whether to allow left mm lanes into and out of Diamond Com. She presented a petition from residents of Diamond Court. This is a dead end street and the only way in or out is Sunol Boulevard. For the past ten years, she has had no problems getting onto Sunol, even after the metering program was initiated. She said the Traffic Committee did not want to allow left tums due to safety issues. The report it based the decision on came fi'om Florida and she felt it did not parallel her situation. Studies have shown it is safer to make a right hand mm onto a busy street. In her case, if she wanted to go south on Sunol, she would have to turn right onto Sunol, cross four lanes of traffic to the fifth lane (mining lane) to make a U-mm at Sycamore. She did not feel that was a safe maneuver. There are traffic signals at Sycamore and Arlington, each about 300 feet from Diamond Court. There is an opportunity to pull out of Diamond Court between signal changes and there has never been a problem, even with the recent metering. She felt the question asked at the Traffic Committee meeting (Is it safer to make a right hand mm at Diamond Court or to allow left hand tums?) was a loaded question. She cited another example of a left hand mm onto a busy street. Finally, she asked Council to reconsider this issue. Ms. McKeehan indicated staff has met on a number of occasions with Mr. Olson. Staff has made the commitment to Mr. Olson to bring this before Council to give the Diamond Court residents, including the Olsons, the opportunity to present their case as an agenda item. Staff does not see the safety issues the same way the Olsons do. i. Proclaimed December 7, 2002 as "Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day" in Pleasanton.
