The nuisance problem at the intersection of Market and Trinity. Streets; northbound traffic making left turns into Trinity.Street we'st causes bottle� necks, and so�thbound traffic turning left from Market Street into Trinity Street creates traffic problems. Chairman Miller stated this item will again be on the agenda at the next Commission meeting, after Mr. Chester, Division of Highways Traffic Engineer advised additional traffic counts, destination checks, etc. will be made. ��� Counci'lman Kriegsman.advised it was his opiniori the problems and congestion could be 'solved by the elimination of turns off Market Street . ��s� Councilmari Chatfield sugge'sted a median strip from� Eureka V1�ay intersection to t�ie bridge to elirriiriat`e turning into private property, ` He stated he did not think this was a temporary summer problem. - ' Referred to the Traffic and Parking Commission for further study. � 2. Mr. Chester also discussed the possibility of-erecting signs ori'Pine Street designating State Highway lanes, showing proper traffic lanes to different areas of the City as well as for through traffic to 99N and 299W. Mr. Miller, speaking from ,the floor, stated the signs may be erected near the approach to the Pine Street hill, with the center lane designated'as through traffic to eliminate lane switching. That sign�s would be srected on the side of the highway, not overhead. Traffic - California Street H. S. Miles, District Engineer Division of Highways, advised they were making progress on the study towards a truck route on California Street in Redding. That special manual and machine counts on Market and California Streets have been made, and they were now working on possible signal timings for the three north-south streets, and further studies are being made to see if im- proved cross street progr'ession is possible. The letter continues: ' `''The ���7 effect of a truck route on our alternate route around Market and Eureka Way via Trinity Street must be considered. The long-term effect when"t�e fr.eeway connects to Redding on 5hasta and Tehama Streets is yet another factor. " � Firial`c`onclusions were expected within'fbur weeks, the`letter concIude's . Council'man Moty, speaking as a citizen of Redding and a property owner on California Street, statec� he personally was objecting. very much to California Street being marked a�s a truck street, tliat this. pTan was actually being pro- moted by merchants on Market Street to the detrirrient .of property owners on California Street. 86 - ' Mr. Miller stated he did not think the.merchants as a group,are anxious to have Market Street two-way; that he had not been-advised that truck;traffic was to be directed from Market Street. � .

He stated the Trinity, water study had not included the Centerville District and left them without water unless Redding stepped in, and the Genterville Community Services.Dis.trict only asked for� some assurance that City will give them water.' � Councilman Moty advised this proposed w'ater line to the City limits was shown on the Layton Mas�ter Water Plan, and while construction at this time was before their schedule, it had been planned for the future. Dr. Martin directed a representative group of our councilmen meet with the Genterville Community Services District at their next regular meeting, and�requested the City Manager to set up tliis meeting.
