Minutes - City of San Leandro City Council and Page - 12 - Redevelopment Agency Meeting - November 18, 1996 4.10 Tom Blackadar, 794 Estudillo Avenue, commends the original organizers in trying not to divide streets or neighbors. He noted the original circle was unacceptable and said it was not a reasonable test. As a result, Estudillo Avenue continues to get worse, and people cannot pull out of their driveways. He supports the overall plan but urges the Council to address the issue throughout the area and include the problem on Estudillo Avenue. 4.11 Donna Caporusso, 831 Joaquin Avenue, said she admires the work the Carlson's have conducted to date. She likes the idea of a stop sign; she feels the street is too narrow. She supports removing the circles because they are too dangerous. 4.12 Ray Fratangelo, 964 Estudillo Avenue, said he thinks the blue informational sign on Joaquin is illegal. He suggested the left turn onto MacArthur Boulevard be split, as well as re- phasing the traffic signals on Estudillo Avenue. If the left turn is delayed, then people will be able to exit from their driveways. He said traffic has got to be controlled. 4.13 Joseph Guerrero, 956 Estudillo Avenue, said traffic is too fast on Estudillo Avenue. He is concerned about schools in the area. He said an earlier report noted 13,000 cars, now they are reporting 14,000. He said Mr. Kruger stated that nothing would be done on Estudillo; he would like to know why. He said drivers are leaving 580 and using Estudillo to reach 880. He said no information has been reported about Estudillo Avenue. 4.14 Jan Corlan, 808 Estudillo Avenue, asked why Estudillo Avenue was removed from the Study. She said she will not tolerate cars driving 50 -60 miles per hour. She said the speeding has increased. She said it is posted at 25 miles per hour but no one drives at that speed. She said she is generally in agreement with the speed -hump program but does not want Estudillo Avenue traffic to continue to get worse as a result. She noted that many cars are driving on Estudillo Avenue every Sunday evening at 11:10 p.m. 4.15 Carey Walker, 471 Santa Monica, asked what year the furlough was started. Mayor Corbett noted that it began in the 1991 -92 fiscal year. Interim City Manager Wandzia Grycz noted there was a Task Force of 51 people and that their actions resulted in a furlough. Mr. Walker noted the Daily Review article. He commented on pay raises while other employees were laid off. Ms. Grycz identified all of City Hall as having been closed during that time.
