MINUTES Page 6 <br />City of San Leandro City Council and San Leandro Redevelopment Agency Joint Meeting-February 4, 2008 <br />4. PUBLIC HEARINGS-JOINT CITY COUNCIL/ REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY <br />None. <br />5. PUBLIC COMMENTS <br />Public Comments are limited to 3 minutes per speaker, subject to adjustment by the Mayor. <br />When you address the City Council, you should fill out a speaker card and submit it to the <br />City Clerk so the order of speakers may be determined and an official record of names and <br />addresses obtained. The public is invited to make comments on items of public interest NOT <br />listed on the Agenda. <br />Jillian Jones Grant, Cynthia Salcedo, Chris Kuhn and Joanna Franco, students from <br />the Social Justice Academy at San Leandro High School, addressed the City Council <br />regarding a student that was struck and killed by an Amtrak train in San Leandro in December <br />2007. The students expressed concern regarding the speed of Amtrak trains and their <br />proximity to Muir and Wilson Schools. The students stated that they would like to work with <br />the City, Amtrak and Senator Ellen Corbett to slow the speed of trains to 5-10 mph while <br />traveling through San Leandro. The students requested a letter of support from the City, <br />which they could forward to Senator Corbett. <br />Mayor Santos stated that he would write a letter to Union Pacific Railroad, requesting a <br />review of train safety aspects within San Leandro. Vice Mayor Grant noted that at the last <br />Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority (ACTIA) meeting, this issue was <br />discussed. Supervisor Gail Steele advocated for the cities along the rail corridor to work <br />together to urge Union Pacific to slow the trains down. Vice Mayor Grant suggested that the <br />students also contact Supervisors Steele and Lai-Bitker with their request. Mayor Santos <br />offered to send a copy of his letter to the Alameda County Mayors Conference, and to the <br />cities in Alameda County along the rail corridor. Councilmember Gregory thanked the <br />students for attending the meeting. He noted that he helped secure the funding for the Social <br />Justice Academy, and he stated that he hoped the students would regularly attend Council <br />meetings. <br />Gayle Hudson, San Leandro resident, addressed the City Council, presenting petitions to <br />the Council signed by residents in her neighborhood. The petitions requested traffic calming <br />measures on Victoria Avenue. Ms. Hudson described the property damage and safety issues <br />created by cars speeding on Victoria Avenue. <br />Earle Shenk, San Leandro resident, addressed the City Council, commenting on the <br />problems with speeding cars on Victoria Avenue from MacArthur to Bancroft. Mr. Shenk <br />commented on several life-threatening auto accidents which have occurred on Victoria <br />Avenue. Mr. Shenk urged the City to consider traffic calming measures for Victoria Avenue, <br />even though it does not meet the City's criteria for such measures. <br />
