Lewis - there are 7 schools on prime arterial such as Melrose (13) all togethr. Plummer confirmed.

Lewis - if group wants this - the City should assist but an Assessment District should be formed to help.

Joanne Grueskin, 6182 Paseo Palero, Carlsbad, as residents of Rancho Carlsbad have not asked for a pedestrian bridge. Have asked that road not be used as a truck route and additional enforcement. If a bridge were to go in there, concerns might be the astetetics and homeowners losing privacy.

Studies show that individuals do not always use a bridge; take the shortest route. President of HOA Board, - speaking on behalf of HOA.

Bob Woelffer , 6183 Paseo Monona, oppose trucks on Melrose because they are not safe. Children crossing at Poinsettia is only one concern.

Concerned for pedestrians and also vehicles crossing Melrose. Documented residents who were drivng also.

Big trucks cannot stop quickly enough.

Submitting 800 signatures on petition to keep trucks off Melrose. No position at this time relating to bridge. Delegates from each Community will meet Monday relating to bridge.

Would bridge include fencing up and over so items cannot be thrown ovr (what is height). Will bridge obstruct views of Poinsettia intersection lights? Construction trucks on Melrose without haul route permits.

Suggestions for traffic calming - paint school zone ahead on pavement. Install speed reading signs below speed limit signs. Install additonal stop light east of Poinsettia. Increase yellow light time on Poinsettia. Hire additional traffic patrolemen.

Packard - did you present suggestions to staff before tonight. Woelffer cannot recall if all have been discussed.

Now you are telling me to leave trucks out. Woelffer - would like some calming measures.

If Council wants to pursue this - will you ask your homeowners will be willing to assisting with the cost.

Kulchin - request that staff go to HOA meeting.

Will receive and file it per Kulchin.

Lewis - would like to have report back from HOA.

Hall - commented that timing of yellow light - synchronization of yellow lights are crucial.

Packard - I hope staff was taking notes regarding traffic calming suggestions. Many of our schools are in close proximity to major roads - they meet certain safety criteria and standards. Ron Ball - all of the roads were designed to the standards appropriate and approved by legislative body (acceptable in the industry). Ball - we do not have jurisdiction over school district.
