traffic, including children walking to school.

Corte Casitas to Cazadero Drive. The street lighting, Project 3616, will be constructed on both
sides of Alga Road from El Camino Real to El Fuerte. The median landscaping, Project 3637,
will be constructed on Alga Road from Corte Casitas to El Fuerte.
The property owner of the La Costa Greens development will be required to construct the median landscaping improvements on Alga Road from El Camino Real to Carte Casitas, which is the
location where Project 3637 begins, as a condition of approval for development of the vacant land
north of Alga Road.
