In concluding, Mr. Priest urged the opposite of the Traffic Engineer's recommendation, his recommendation being that a traffic signal should be installed at "Old" Lincoln and Anaheim Boulevard; further, he concurred with Mr. Singer's recommendation that the median on Clementine be extended southerly to prohibit the dangerous and illegal traffic activity now occurring (see page three, Item 2, of the Executive Director's report of December 30, 1981). 82 -2 Anaheim Civic Center, REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES January-5, 1982, 1:00 P,M. Mr. Paul Singer, Traffic Engineer, then reiterated the concerns expressed in his December 30, 1981, report and strongly recommended that a traffic signal not be installed at "Old" Lincoln Avenue and Anaheim Boulevard and that the median be closed, as originally designed, from the point of view of traffic safety. The approximate location of the two signals (the one proposed and the other at the intersection of "New" Lincoln Avenue and Anaheim Boulevard)_ would create additional problems and congestion in the area. He maintained that access to the shopping center-was more than adequate from Lincoln Avenue and access to the east of Anaheim Boulevard was possible from all directions. Mr. Floyd Farano, 2555 East Chapman, Fullerton, Attorney representing Hurst Jewelers, stated most of the points they wanted to make were reflected in the letter he wrote to Mr. Priest, dated November 16, 1981 (on file in the City Clerk's office). The stop light they were suggesting and supporting (at "Old" Lincoln and Anaheim Boulevard}_ was something that had to be done in order to make the Center safe for people to visit. Mrs. Dawn Johnson, 616 North Olive, ftC, stated, as a pedestrian herself, she had problems crossing Anaheim Boulevard from the shopping center but Senior Citizens had even more difficulty. Extensive discussion and questioning followed between the Council and Staff, at the conclusion of which the following two motions were offered: Mr. Seymour moved to authorize staff to proceed with the steps necessary to accomplish the immediate construction of a fully signalized intersection at "Old" Lincoln Avenue and Anaheim Boulevard with the competitive bidding process to be waived subject to the Traffic Engineer advising that the cost would not be excessive in so doing, and further, that the Redevelopment Agency evaluate the potential removal of that signal upon reaching 28,000 ADT on Anaheim Boulevard, Mr. Overholt seconded the motion. MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Seymour moved to direct staff to remove the median on Clementine Street, west of the shopping center, to permit access to-the Towne Center, thus avoiding the "U" turn problem and that the reinstallation of that median be brought back to the Agency for their consideration upon the completion of construction and opening of Parcels 8 and /or 9 Mr. Bay seconded the motion. Before a vote was taken, Mrs. Kaywood stated that she was concerned with the last motion proposed because she felt that they would be getting into a real safety problem and thus was going to have to oppose. A vote was then taken on the foregoing motion. Mrs. Kaywood voted No. MOTION CARRIED.
