Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - August 19, 1991 Page - 11 - NEW BUSINESS (continued) Council Member Santos said that he had hoped the Neves' would have attended one of the neighborhood meetings to discuss this issue and the esthetics of the modification. He said the new corner will slow traffic from the current curve, and mentioned that one area resident has had a number of cars in his lawn due to the current design. Council Member Perry suggested a temporary change of the curve to allow the City to review the effect of the proposed modification. Roy Parker said it would be possible to install temporary pylons to determine if the changes will alter traffic patterns. He said a white line is now painted on the street to indicate the shape of the proposed modification, if the City Council wished to visit the location. Mr. Chandler reiterated the issue of esthetics and asked the City Council to view the location. He said other, more reasonable options may exist to eliminate speeding problems in this location, without making this drastic change. Council Member Santos recommended approval of the concept and suggested that staff meet with Mr. Chandler and the Neves to discuss the proposal .
