The estimated cost is $7,424 for the lights and poles, with a total project cost of approximately $16, 080.00. The total amount is being funded through the Electrical Department Street Lighting Fund. Electric Superintendent Dais reported that the poles will be 16' in height and will be spaced at approximately 100' intervals , It was suggested that globes be used in the luminaires which will produce a soft white light. Councilman Denny said he believes the proposal is reasonable and ��U is a good safety measure, and will make the parks much more usable at s.uch time as they are opened up to the public after 9;00 P.M. Police patrol of the parks will also be much easier and more effective. City Manager Cowden said he would report to Council at next meeting re leaving the parks open after 9:00 P.M. MOTION: Made by Councilman Denny, seconded by Councilman Anderson authorizing staff to go to bid re the purchase of 51 light standards and luminaires for Lake Redding and Caldwell Memorial Parks . The Vote: Unanimous Aye s TRAFFIC AND PA.RKING C OMMISSION RECOMMENDA TIONS Traffic Engineer Hamilton submitted the following Traffic and Parking Commission Recommendations: � Court and Yuba Intersection A.fter reconsideration of the Court and Yuba Street intersection it is recommended that signals not be installed but that the problems at this intersection be remedied by the removal of parking spaces on the east and west sides of Court Street as indicated on an accompanying diagram. ' In a discussion of this matter, Traffic Engineer Hamilton � reviewed the warrants used as a standard for signalization ���� and pointed out that signals would reduce the capacity of Court Street and possible cause more rear end acciderits. Councilman Denny said that although he doesn't question. the warrants used, he cannot agree with removing parking spaces to solve the problem. Councilman Chatfield said he is still concerned with the pedestrian problem and doubts that the removal of the parking spaces will correct this. IVlayor. Moty recommended that Council approve the elimina- tion of four parking spaces on the east side of Court Street and then re-evaluate the intersection at a later date. MOTION: Made by Councilman Denny, seconded by Councilman Anderson approving the elimination of four parking spaces on the east side of Court Street at its intersection witli Yuba Street (two parking spaces south of Yuba and two north of Yuba), and authorizing the City Attorney to prepare the necessary resolution. The Vote: Unanimous A.yes Council recommended that the crosswalks on Court Street at this intersection be crosshatched in an attempt to provide better protection for pedestrians . 162 SCHOOL CROSS IIVG PROTEC TION A. communication was received from Jack and Irma. Hummel expressing their concern for the safety of their children in crossing Cypress Street to attend the Cypress School. Traffic Engineer Hamilton said that the Traffic and Parking Comx7iission had considered the petition for signals at Grape and Cypress and/or A.kard and Cypres s but recommends against signalization at both of these intersections. The Commission does feel that steps should be taken to make the Akard cros swalk more obvious. Mr . Hamilton revie�d a memo to Council dated 5eptember l lth from the office of the Director of Public Works in which the following solutions were recommended: , I���I l. Repaint the crosswalk with a pronounced zebra pattern and � utiliz�e raised markers for better visibility in the rain. Install an ad'ditional street light on the median over the crosswalk. Repaint street legends and supplement with additional "Slow, School Xing" legends . 2 . The School Board should be encouraged to arrange for a parent or teacher guard to aid the children at crossing times. 3. Arrange for qualified personnel to talk to all children on how to cross streets safely, near or away from school in marked or unma"r.k'ed crosswalks . City Manager Cowden s`a=id that the City of Burbank has employed elderly women as crossing guards. Councilman Denny asked whether 5taff had discussed with school authorities the use of school boy patrols. Mr. Hamilton said he had talked to Mr. Payne about this but it is felt that the volume and speed of traffic on Cypress is too great to subject children to. Mr . Payne appeared before Council and commented on the splendid coopera- tion the School District has received from City staff. Mr. Payne said that the District has tried to eliminate�the necessity of children having to cross Cypress Street but at the present time there are about 20 children who must do so. He further stated that although the District would prefer a traffic signal at the Akard and Cypress Street intersection, they realize that it is impractical and believe that as an alternate the zebra painted crossing and addit'ional lighting wou.ld be helpful. Mr. Payne said that an adult patrol is favored and the District would solidly support the City if it is their pleasure to embark on such a program. He mentioned that Placer Street at Magnolia is getting busier and it is not known how much longer the student pat"rol will be used at Magnolia School. Mr. Payne spoke of the liability factor with respect to adult guards and said it is the feeling of the District that the agency sponsoring the program should assume the responsibility. Another issue that was discussed was the necessity of Juniper School children having to walk down the center of Anita Street in rainy weather due to flooding conditions . Councilman Fulton suggested that a Police Officer be placed at Cypress School in the morning, at least temporarily. In a discussion of this suggestion it was pointed out that there might be times when, because of an emergency situation elsewhere , the Police Officer might not be able to be at the school, and this might create a greater hazard. • Councilman Anderson said he favors the adult guard patrol but feels it is the responsibility of the District. Councilman Chatfield c cmcurred with Mr. Anderson. i � 163 Mr. Payne said that with the busses no longer operating it is the responsibility of the parents; that it is not now the school's problem but the Trustees feel morally obligated. Councilman Chatfield suggested that perhaps schools could be started at an hour whereby the peak traffic could be avoided. � Mr. Blancett, Acting Principal of Cypress School said that he doesn't � feel that the condition is as critical in the morning as it is at 1:30 P.M. � and 2:35 P,M. when the youngsters leave school. Mr . Blancett said ' he hopes to involve both the City Police and the Highway Patrol in talking to the children on safety. Councilman Denny said it would appear to him that the time change recommended by Councilman Chatfield, together with the three suggestions set forth by staff, constitute a good recommendation. Councilman Fulton said as an interim measure he feels a Police Officer should be at the school whenever possible. Mr. Hamilton said the Police Department has increased its patrol of the area and the speed of motorists has lessened. , MOTION: Made by Councilman Chatfield, seconded by- Councilman Anderson approving the three staff recominendations as set forth heretofore and instructing staff to keep a close watch on the situation and make. further studies in cooperation with the School District. The Vote: Unanimous A.yes Mr . Hummel appeared before Council and said he had noted that the Police Department is patrolling Cypress Avenue heavily. Mr. Blancett concurred.
