Lloyd Hubbs, City Engineer, introduced this item and Bob Johnson, Traffic Engineer, continued the report as contained in the Agenda Bill. The eleven recommendations of the Traffic Safety Commission were contained in the Agenda Bill, and Mr. Johnson gave all the statistics gathered by staff in the several traffic studies conducted in the area of Cannon Road south on Carlsbad Boulevard to Manzano Drive. He stated that the accidents that had occurred in that area were due to speed and inattention, and traffic control devices would not help that. Police Chief Vales used a transparency to show the significant number of traffic citations issued on Carlsbad Boulevard. Bailey Noble, 5470 Los Robles Drive, stated he opposed widening Manzano and then closing it. Mr. Noble distributed a map showing the number of accidents along that area, and stated that it was a collective problem; that of speeding. Mr. Noble stated he wanted to improve the safety of the pedestrians and motorists and assistance in crossing the boulevard to catch the bus. Charles Henry, 5501 Los Robles Drive, spoke of his concern in closing Manzano Drive, and told of a resident who 1 ives there who does need to have the emergency vehicles take him to the hospital every so often, and he felt the closing of Manzano Drive would pose a hazard to that resident. He stated if Council did close Manzano Drive, there should be no parking allowed there. L. 0. Brockmann, 5511 Los Robles Drive, told of the problems in crossing Carlsbad Boulevard, and also reiterated the facts about the man who needs emergency services. Mr. Brockmann stated that Thelma Hayes opposed the closing of Manzano Drive, fearing it would become a parking lot for the beach goers. She felt the word "Scenic" shou I d be added to Car 1 sbad Bou levard, to help slow the traffic down. Mrs. Hayes had also suggested pedestrian crossing signs be placed on the boulevard showing a human with a surf board. Ray Duty, 5390 Los Robles Drive, felt the traffic figures given tonight were not correct.

She lives in that area, and needs the left turn lane in order to get safely into her driveway. Ms. Wolder also stated that a stop sign at Cerezo would help slow the traffic, but she did not favor closing Manzano Drive. Ms. Wolder suggested the "y ie I d" sign at the intersection of 101 be changed to a ttstopll sign. In response to Council query about extending the left turn lane to Manzano, Mr. Johnson expiained that thTs would require eliminating the parking on the west side of Carlsbad Boulevard and adding pavement in order to move the left turn lane over and still allow room for the merging area on the east side of the road. Mr. Johnson stated that if the parking were eliminated on Carlsbad Boulevard, he felt the surfers would park up on the residential streets. He added that the bike lanes must remain on Carisbad Boulevard, and Coastal Commission approval would also be required. In answer to query regarding a right-turn in and out on Manzano, Mr. Johnson stated that would not be feasible, as people could still make left turns since there would be no way to provide a physical barrier to left turns. Councii Members expressed their feelings about each of the eleven recommendations of the Traffic Safety Commission.
