..• Minutes -City of San Leandro City Council Meeting Page 17 August 17,1998 2. Council Member Glaze requested a report on where Beatrice and Alexandria stand, as they relate to traffic control measures (stop signs). He stated he remembers asking for that information some time ago and would like an update. Council Member Glaze would like a status report with regard to the speed bumps on Norton Street and indicated that issue should come back to the Council soon. Council Member Glaze concluded by commenting on Ciry street trees and noted that, according to information given to him, if full-grown street trees need to be removed, they are done so at no cost to the resident, and they are not replaced. He feels that is in direct opposition to the street-tree policy. 3. Council Member Nardine commented on the proposed citizens' committee for the rates.
