Re: Petition presented for installation of Stop Signs at Peach St. and California Blvd.
(Ida Street), stopping traffic in all directions. Mr.Richard Willett appeared before
the Council regarding the placement of Stop Signs on California Blvd. ( Ida Street)
at Peach Street on behalf of safety.
Mrs. Helen Fisher asked the Council for their decision on the request for the
placement of Stop Signs on all four corners of.Peach Street and California Blvd.
( Ida Street before she made any comments on the Stop Signs.
At this time Chief W.L.Burns presented the report of the Traffic Committee re-
garding-the Stop Sign at Peach Street and California Blvd. ( Ida Street) and their re-
commendation of.not making a decision until the traffic pattern and traffic flow over
California Blvd. has been established.
Mr. Wm Fisher then asked the Council why they wanted to encourage speeding along
tge California Blvd. to Monterey St. The Mayor answered Mr.Fisher stating there has been
no attempt to encourage speeders but that the overall traffic plan of the city must be
considered, NOT JUST ONE 'particular corner, but that if Stop Signs are deemed necessary
after the survey has been made, the Traffic Committee will naturally, report such conditio
to the Council..
Mrs. Helen Fisherstated that she believed that the traffic condition at California
Blvd, and Peach Street does not or never has existed in any other street crossing of the
City of San Luis Obispo,
Mr. Martin Polin suggested the installation of dips in California Blvd, be properly
signed so as to physically slow down speeders.
Mr.Willett again stated that he did not believe that this dangerous situation
existed anywhere in the city, due to the anticipated high speed usage of this street by
the Cal Poly students.
The Traffic Committee was instructed to continue to survey this particular corner,
or crossing and to study the-speed and the traffic patterns. The traffic guard is to
remain at this corner until this problem has been solved.
Communication from the Controller of the State of California was ordered received
and filed.
