The diverters were requested by Clyde and Cecile Bentley to discourage through traffic in this older residential area, thus irnproving the quality of the resi- dential atmosphere. The diverters would be left in place a minimum ; ;,�-,�'�,l of 60 days and would be constructed to enable safety vehicles to push through in an emergency. In response to an inquiry as to whether the proposal had been con- sidered and approved by the Traffic and Parking Commission, Traffic Engineer� Hamilton noted that the matter had�been considered informally and the Commission agreed to the placement of the barriers on a trial basis only. � Councilma.n Pugh mentioned that there are stop signs on both� Orange and Olive Avenues which tend to reduce the use of these streets for through traffic between Eureka Way and Placer Street. Councilman Demsher favors the proposal on a trial basis, but pointed out the need for monitoring speed on Magnolia Street. Councilwoman Gard stressed the need for preserving the integrity of the neighborhood. , Mayor Fulton stated that he is against the use of traffic diverters,noting , that they have been subject to considerable controversy in Berkeley. , Councilman Pugh noted that diverters in Oakland near Lake Merritt have revitalizecl the neighborhood and have proven very successful. He did state, however, that area is laid out in square blocks which improves access when diverters are used. Dorothy Baldwin, who resides at 1431 Olive Avenue�, stated her opposition , to the diverter s. She str es s ed the need for through str eets in the City. She also feels that because the project is referred to as the "Magnolia Court Neighborhood"., residents on Olive, Orange, and Willis Streets who will be affected' do not know what is being planned and, for that ' reason, the City has not had any input from such residents . Councilman Anderson said if there is a question of inadequate input, he doesn't feel the City should rush into the placernent of temporary barriers. MOTION: Ma.de by Councilman Pugh, seconded by Councilma.n Demsher that the matter be tabled; that a Public Hearing be set for ?:30 P.M. on September 7, 1976 to consider the issue, and that notice of the Public Hearing be published and copies of the notice be mailed to all residents and property owners affected of the area bounded by Placer Street on � the soutli, Almond Street on the west, Eureka Way on the north, and Court Street on the east.
