CONSIDERATION OF REPORT FROM THE TRAFFIC COMMISSION REGARDING THE INSTALLATION
OF TRAVERSABLE ISLANDS ON WALKER STREET BETWEEN LINCOLN AVENUE AND ORANGE
AVENUE: The City Manager requested the Public Works Director to present the
staff report dated March 29, 1990, which indicated that the Traffic
Commission, at its March 20 meeting, reviewed survey results and accident
history from the Walker Street area and also listened to concerns from
residents both in support of and opposition to the traversable island. The
Traffic Commission concluded that the traffic safety advantages of traversable
islands outweighed the disadvantages and recommended the modification.
Mayor Age asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak on this project.
Mr. Robert Sundwall, 5486 Vista Sierra, Cypress, informed the opponents that
the entire community was involved in the survey project. He indicated that
Mr. Steffey would be explaining the request later in the meeting.
Mr. Larry Turner, 9283 Vista Mesa, Cypress, reported an accident on Walker
Street where his daughter was attempting to make a left turn and was rear
ended by a truck. He voiced his support of no parking on the street, a
traversable island and a bike lane on Walker.
Mr. Bill Gilliland, Vice President of the Cambria Townhomes, stated that the
speed of traffic on Walker is outrageous. Representing the residents of the
townhomes, Mr. Gilliland felt that it would be more dangerous for children
walking on the sidewalks by moving the traffic lanes closer to the curbing,
along with raising the noise factor.
Mrs. Inez Santana, 9321 Walker Street, Cypress, voiced her objection to the
traversable island and the proposed no parking on Walker Street
Mr. Cris Gaspar, 9262 Walker Street, Cypress, objected to the proposed project
because it would eliminate parking on Walker Street.
Mr. Tom Seevers, 9351 Walker Street, Cypress, spoke against the elimination of
on street parking on Walker and mentioned that if a survey was taken of the
people living on Walker Street, they would be against it.

City Council Minutes April 9, 1990
Mr. Charlie Steffey, 5611 Citrus Court, Cypress, representing the 31
homeowners on Citrus Court, stated they realized parking was a consideration
but there is an everyday danger to those that have to make left turns off of
Walker Street.
Mrs. Linda Santana, 9321 Walker Street, Cypress, expressed concern about
children walking along the street, speed of traffic and suggested there might
be a way for both a traversable island and on-street parking.
Responding to Councilman Bowman, the Public Works Director replied that the
width of Walker Street does not allow the ability to have both the median turn
lane and on-street parking.
After some discussion, Councilmember Arnold stated she supported the study
done on Walker Street south of Orange and prior to the installation of that
traversable island she had been rear ended and several neighbors had
accidents. In answer to Councilmember Arnold, Police Chief Wicker responded
that traffic safety would be improved if there was a traversable island
installed.
Mr. Seevers asked the Council consider allowing parking on one side of Walker
Street. The Public Works Director explained that when bike lanes are on one
side of the street, they have to be provided on the other side.
Mr. Turner suggested that the Chamber of Commerce parking lot might be used
for weekend parking.
Mr. Steffey asked the Council to consider the survey results and the
recommendation of the Traffic Commission in their decision.
It was moved by Councilmember Arnold and seconded by Councilmember Bowman to
authorize the installation of traversable islands on Walker Street between
Lincoln and Orange Avenues; 2) Adopt a Resolution providing "No Parking
Anytime" areas on both sides of Walker Street, between Lincoln and Orange
Avenues, to accommodate the required pavement restriping; and 3) Authorize
staff to secure formal bids for the removal of striping, restriping, signing
and placement of pavement markers for the installation of traversable islands
on Walker Street, between Lincoln and Orange Avenues, and to return to Council
for further consideration of appropriation of funds and award of contract.
Councilmember Kanel advised, for the record, that he will reluctantly vote in
favor of the project because of the traffic safety factor but has empathy for
residents and the parking situation. Councilmember Kerry concurred and hoped
that something could be worked out in the future to help with the parking, but
the entire area must be considered and it is a very dangerous situation.

indicated that all fees would reimbursable through any District that is
eventually formed; therefore, will not impact the City"s General Fund. He
asked what happens if the District is not formed as it was to be formed at the

reimbursable, why couldn't the developer pay for it at this time and
reimbursed when the District is formed. The City Manager requested an

CONSIDERATION OF ISSUANCE OF SPECIAL PERMITS~FOR ADDRESS CURB PAINTING
SERVICE: The City Manager presented the staff report dated April 3, 1990,

issue special permits for address curb painting service to groups other than
nonprofit organizations. Councilmember Bowman desired to notify all the
nonprofit groups that this opportunity is available and allow them first
chance before it is made available to others. Councilmember Kanel suggested
providing the nonprofits with the first opportunity and if a response wasn"t
received then open it to the private companies. Councilmember Arnold
explained the intent of her motion was to open the service to all
organizations, but certainly encouraging nonprofits to use this avenue as a
fundraiser. After further discussion, Councilmember Arnold stated that the
City shouldn"t waste money mailing to every nonprofit again and an article on
the front page of the News-Enterprise would suffice. Councilmember Bowman
will vote against the motion because he felt the nonprofits should be notified
and given the opportunity to respond first. Councilmember Kanel stated, for
the record, that he will vote against this motion because he wanted to protect
the nonprofits. The motion carried by the following roll call vote:
