REPORT OF THE TRAFFIC COMMITTEE:
57-10-4C: In answer to the Council's request that the Traffic Committee restudy the mat-
ter of motel directional signs at the corner of Olive and Santa Rosa, the Committee feels
that it is a borderline case. However, since other similar signs have been installed in
this area and since the turning movements in and around the freeway might be quite con-
fusing to strangers, it is recommended that the Council authorize one double face motel
sign on the southwest corner of Santa Rosa and Olive Streets. On motion of Kenneth W.
Jones, seconded by Nels Beck, the recommendation of the Traffic Committee was adopted.
-10-5T: For some time it has-been the custom for cars to park at an angle on the south
si e o Palm Street near Osos alongside the courthouse. We are not sure that this has
been covered by resolution and suggest that the Council pass one designating this area
as an angle parking zone and that the engineering department be instructed to stripe it
accordingly.
5'7_10 -6T It is recommended that a.yield. sign be placed on Carpenter at Hathway- This
aou low free movements in both directions on Hathway and for Hathway traffic entering
,arpenter.
57-10-7T: With the Johnson Underpass and the Essex Street bridge nearing completion, it
is recommended that the stop..signs formerly authorized on either side of the underpass
be eliminated, that the existing stop sign on Essex at Buchon stopping south bound traffic
be eliminated, and that a new stop sign be placed on Buchon at Essex .stopping east bound
traffic on.Buchon.
75 10 -$T: Some time ago the Traffic Committee recommended that the stop sign on Sydney
at Agusta stopping west bound traffic on Sydney be removed and that a stop sign be placed
on Augusta at Sidney stopping south bound traffic on Augusta matching up the existing
sign stopping north bound traffic on Augusta.. This recommendation was turned down or
held over by the'City Council, and the problem continues-to become more serious as the
upper Augusta Street area develops. The Traffic Committee still.fhels that its original
recommendation would be the best-solution, but if nothing else, it is urgently recommended
that a stop sign be authorized on Augusta at Sydney stopping south bound traffic, even
if the west bound Sydney stop sign is not removed. -
Resolution No. 304 (1957 _Series) A Resolution Establishing Certain Traffic Regulations
was passed and adopted on motion of Kenneth W. Jones, seconded by J. Barry Smith, by the
following roll call vote:
AYES: Nels Beck, Kenneth W.- Jones, Richard G. Sleight, J. Barry Smith, Fred H. Lucksinger
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
57 10 -9C: Attached is a copy of a letter- report on the traffic situation in.the vicinity
of Chorro and Upham Streets by Officer Rayburn of the Police Department. The 'traffic
Committee recommends that the suggestions made by Officer Rayburn be adopted and that a
stop sign be added on Church at Osos stopping Church traffic to safeguard motorists on
Osos from the large sand and gravel trucks which would be making a turning movement at
that location. At the present time, we see no need for barring the S. P. Milling transit
trucks from Chorro and Upham, and if they were prevented from using this loop for their
empty trucks it would create a.problem of backing into the plant on Santa Barbara Avenue,
thus creating a serious traffic hazard at that location. This was ordered held over for
further study.
Request of the City Planning Commission for appointment by the Council of a Citizens
Committee to study and recommend a new sign ordinance was held over.
Comm. from John Badgley regarding installations of curb and gutter on the west side of
Hathway Street between Carpenter and Kentucky Streets was ordered received and filed.
Ordinance No. 58 (1957 Series) An Ordinance Amending Portions of Section 9100.2.of the
Ban Luis Ubispo Municipal,Code was held over for further study.

and passed to print on motion of Kenneth W. Jones, seconded by Richard G. Sleight, by the
following roll call vote:
