(1250) On motion by Council Member Myers, who moved its approval , seconded by Council Member Polvorosa, and carried by a majority vote (7) , the City Council continued to a date uncertain the matter of resolution approving Program Supplement No. 30 to the Master Agreement for Federal -Aid Projects. 6.D. Resolution Designating Placement of Stop Signs, Intersections, Title VI , Chapter 1 of the San Leandro Municipal Code, Timothy Drive (provides for installation of a stop sign on eastbound Timothy Drive at the Westgate access road) . Gary Kruger, Transportation Administrator, said this was his recommendation. He said the current situation is ambiguous and confusing to drivers, and he recommended that it be modified. He said the Conditions of Approval for Westgate did not require that Timothy Drive have the right of way. He said it was probably done because a public street typically has the right of way over a private driveway. He said, however, the driveway looks like a public street and carries 10 times the amount of traffic of Timothy. Council Member Myers said he was one of the committee members on the original Monarch Development. He said over the past six years there have been only three requests for a stop sign and four accidents in the last four years, none of which were serious. He said when the development was built people in the neighborhood were concerned about getting back and forth through the driveway and cross traffic. He said it was his understanding this road was to remain open so the neighborhood would have access. Council Member Kerr said this was his recollection as well . In response to questions, Mr. Kruger said a letter was sent to residents in the area, and he received two phone calls, both in favor of installing the stop sign.
