Administrative Officer Miller explained to the City Council the proposal of the Division of Highways for making U.S. 101 through the City of San Luis Obispo a full freeway. He then explained the proposal of the Division of Highways for placing'an overpass at French Road and widening French Road from a. point west of the freeway to Highera Street by the Division of Highways. City Engineer Romero commented that he personally believed that an overpass at South Street would be best for the.City.in the long run, but that'due to the development of the Madonna Inn:so close to the freeway, that the South Street plan had now become economically unfeasible and that the next best was the interchange as proposed by the Division -of Highways. Mayor'Waters suggested that the City Council approve the French Road overpass treatment if the plan also included the widening of .French Road,to Highera Street.to, full width and widening at the northwesterly . corner of French Road and Higuera Street as shown on the tentative plans. Mayor Waters and City Engineer. Romero were authorized to represent the City at the meeting to be held February 9, 1961 at the City Hall with the Division of Highways.: Councilman Smith suggested that .the City Council appoint a Council Committee to study the proposal being made to the City Council to change the name of French Road to Madonna Road from Los Osos Road to Higuera Street; also that the committee in discussing this change of street name, discuss the mater of Mr. A. Madonna developing, at his own expense, a City park on City -owned property adjacent to the freeway at French Road. The City Council discussed the proposal of park development at French Road and the Freeway, on City property.. Mayor Waters appointed Councilmen Smith and Miller to contact Mr. A. Madonna on the proposal to change the name of French Road and-on the development of a City park. 17. Council consideration of disposition of Mission Gardens lease, which is due-to expire March.19, 1961. At this time a Council Committee consisting of Councilmen Smith and Miller made the report regarding the disposition of-the Mission Gardens lease.. Councilman Smith reported to the City Council on a meeting attended by t himself, Councilman Miller, Administrative Officer - Miller, City Engineer Romero, and property owners in the vicinity of the Mission Gardens, and it was the suggestion of this group that Monterey Street be realigned and the park be moved north and west of the realignment in front of the Mission, and that a culvert be placed over the creek and that the area over the creek behind the.stores on Chorro and-Higuera Streets be developed into a parking lot and unloading area for trucks. City Engineer Romero presented a sketch that showed a former proposal for realigning Monterey Street and moving the park to the west. Administrative Officer Miller.stated that the tentative figures for this development would be between $180,000.and $200,000 but that the realignment of Monterey Street could be paid partially out of gas tax funds and that the development of the parking area could be paid from parking meter revenue and that the balance of the development could be from an assessment district formed by the property owners concerned. Mr. Gist, representing some of the property owners, appeared before the City Council urging that the City proceed with the acquisition of the corner property so this program could proceed as rapidly as possible. Administrative Officer Miller stated that he believed the first step. should be an informal petition from the property owners concerned so preliminary plans and cost estimates could be prepared by the City Engineer, at which time the estimated assessments could be spread and if the property owners wished.to proceed, a formal petition would be required prior to preparation.of detailed plans. City Engineer Romero stated that the Catholic Church had assured him they were more than willing to cooperate in this proposal and in the development of their own corner property. Councilman Smith asked that the City Engineer, City-.Attorney, and City Clerk work with Mr. Gist in determining the properties to be included in the proposed district. Miss Maxwell appeared before the City.Council and.objected to the present proposal as she states this would completely kilL.the program envisioned by the Soroptomist Club when the Mission Garden or Plaza was first proposed. She believes that the covering of.the creek would be a terrible thing as the community interest would best be served by main- taining an open space with no buildings to break the.beauty of the creek and further, the Soroptomist Club believed the Mission Gardens should extend the full length of Monterey Street from Chorro Street to Broad Street. Rose McKeen, representing the Soroptomist Club; appeared before the City Council stating that moving the small park across the street from , its present location does not fulfill the plans of the residents of the community who see this area across from the Mission as a focal point of the community, and that the development of the creek is a necessary part of the development of the Mission Gardens. Administrative Officer Miller reported that in discussions with a citizens committee headed by John Ross, architect, that the committee had approved and recommended the plan for realignment of Monterey Street as prepared by Mr. Ross and Mr..Romero. City Engineer Romero was requested by the City Council to prepare a sketch or map showing what the City Council had im.mind for this development. 18. TRAFFIC COMMITTEE REPORT 61 -2 -1C "The Traffic Committee has studied the petition of the residents on Chorro Street in regard to complaints of excessive speed and engineering irregularities in the vicinity of Mountain View Street. We strongly feel that a stop sign stopping traffic on Chorro in the vicinity of Mountain View would not be a good answer to the problem and would undoubtedly cause excessive congestion as well as additional accidents. We do feel, however,.that something should be done to call attention to the curve in the road for southbound motorists and recommend that the Council..authorize the Public Works Department to install reflectors on the north side of the power pole at the corner of Mountain View and also at the power pole to the south along Chorro Street. The Police Department has also recently stepped up enforcement of traffic regulations in this area, and we feel that this is the most important step that can be taken to reduce excessive speed." Recommendation approved on motion of Kenneth:W. Jones, seconded by Gerald W. Shipsey, with the additional instruction for the City to paint 25 M.P.H. markers on Chorro Street on both sides of Mountain View. 61' -2 -2T "For some time, the Engineering_ Department has been studying the street lighting on Laurel Lane with PG &E representatives, and as a result, it is the Traffic Committee's recommendation that the-existing lamp on Laurel Lane at Johnson be increased from 4,000 lumen-to 6,000, and that the lamp at Richard Street and Laurel be relocated and increased to 6,:000 lumen, and that an additional lamp be added on Orcutt at Laurel, also 6,000 lumen." . - Recommendation approved on motion of Donald Q. Miller, seconded by Kenneth W. Jones. Councilman Miller asked if the street lights had been installed at California and Hathway as requested several months ago. CitycEngineer :Romero was .requested to .investigate and report. Councilman Miller also requested that the City Engineer check with PG &E and see if longer extension arms.could be placed on the street lights on California Boulevard,as they are presently-being-covered by' -the palm tree fronds and that extensions on these lights would work better than those :presently:being used: Mayor Vaters asked that the City.Traffic•Committee look into.the intersection of Johnson and Orcutt,•particularly regarding possible stop sign.for.incoming. traffic on Orcutt. 19.
