3. Report of the Traffic Committee on matters referred:
59 -1 -2C. The Committee has studied the Johnson Underpass-traffic problem re-
ferred to it, and recommends that southbound traffic through the underpass
be channelized into one traffic lane starting at the intersection with San
' Luis Drive by posting a sign reading 'One Lane Road Ahead" and placing appro-
priate striping on the Johnson Avenue pavement starting at the intersection.
Recommendation of the Traffic Committee was accepted on motion of KEnneth W.
Jones, seconded by Richard G. Sleight.
59 -1 -3C. On the request of the Council that we study the Sears Roebuck request
for a prohibition on left turn movements for cars leaving the Sears Roebuck
lot, the Committee feels that such a restriction would be difficult to enforce
and would tend to cause greater congestion in,the downtown area, particularly
on Chorro Street. It is therefore recommended that the request not be approved
at this time.
UA.N 5 1959
Recommendation of the Traffic Committee accepted and the request of Sears
Roebuck denied on motion of Richard G. Sleight, seconded by Kenneth W. Jones.
59 -1 -1C. The Traffic Committee has studied the Hathway- Motley Street inter-
section and discussed the matter with Cal Poly officials responsible for the
current building program. We findthat eventually the college will have
half of the intersection with concrete and erect a permanent type of gate with
chain allowing access to a service road through the campus. In the meantime, the
City could erect a post -type barricade with reflectors which would eventually
be removed during the final construction phase•some time neat summer. It is
also recommended that the stop sign on Hathway at Motley be removed, and
that the public works department be authorized to paint a double stripe
around the corner.
59 -1 -4T. The Committee has noted a loading zone in front of the Elks Club on
the north side of Marsh Street which is not being used during mat hours of
the day and feels that it should be eliminated. and replaced with .a parking
meter zone.
59 -1 -5T. It is likewise recommended that the two 12 minute parking meter spaces
in front of the old Telegram- Tribune building be replaced with the standard
two hour spaces.
59 -1 -6T. It is also recommended thatthe hotel loading zone in front of the
Rhbdes.E%tel, 864 Monterey Street, be eliminated and replaced with a parking
meter space since this hotel has been vacated for some time.
RESOLUTION N0. 491 (1959 Series), "A Resolution Removing Stop Sign on Hathway Street.
