Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - September 18, 1995 Page - 3 - PUBLIC COMMENTS (continued) F. Sara Frisbee, 834 Juana Avenue, expressed concern regarding the length of the humps because her car is very low and she will have to travel across the humps very slowly; she said she is concerned she will be rear-ended. G. Les Harrington, 732 Estudillo Avenue, said he is concerned the humps will generate traffic onto Estudillo Avenue, which is already heavily burdened. He said additional traffic would make it even more difficult for residents on Estudillo to get in and out of their driveways. H. David Lundberg, 786 Dolores Avenue, said his car was hit while parked in front of his home and the mirror was damaged. He said the speed humps are a fantastic idea, but because Dolores is so long, more speed humps are needed. I . John Carroll , 763 Estudillo Avenue, said traffic has continually increased. Humps on other streets will increase traffic on Estudillo. He said all streets should be treated equitably or nothing should be done. J. Douglas Kreiss, 841 Estudillo Avenue, said traffic controls need to be installed on Estudillo Avenue also. All streets should be treated equally or drivers from the other streets will use Estudillo. K. Jane Hudson, 834 Juana Avenue, discussed the various east-west streets on the north end of San Leandro. She said the speed humps will be hazardous during an earthquake, and she does not like the circles. She said the City should utilize electronic ticketing devices. L. Tom Hudson, 834 Juana Avenue, said he is opposed to the speed humps; this is taking easy steps to resolve the problem. He said the City Council should have Bill Lockyer provide a waiver to allow lower speed limits than the 25 mph prima facie limit. He said the police do not enforce the speed limit laws. M. David Seyranian, 918 Estudillo Avenue, said he is opposed to the pilot program. He said its goal is to divert traffic to reduce speed, and the traffic will move to Estudillo Avenue. He said Estudillo Avenue residents were promised they would also receive speed humps. He said the success of the pilot program should be quantifiable. N. John Carlson, 721 Joaquin Avenue, thanked staff for working on this as soon as the problem was brought to their attention. He said the pilot program is a start, but he asked if the program is funded for the next phase. He said Estudillo Avenue should be included in the program. 0. Victor Varrial , 1251 San Jose Street, said he is concerned traffic will be diverted to Estudillo. He said people now travel 40 mph on Estudillo, and something is needed to slow traffic down. He said there is a lot of noise and dirt.
