Mr. Johnson then explained the recommendation of the Traffic Safety Commission regarding establishment of a Traffic Calming Program, and how it would address problems on individual streets. Bob Breckinridge, 3 110 Via Sorbete, Treasurer of the Tiburon Homeowners Association, spoke in support of the installation of ALL WAY STOP signs on Avenida de Anita at the intersections of Calle Hacienda, Calle Susana and Avenida De Louisa.

Dan Kramb, 25 18 Via Naranja, stated that Avenida de Anita is used as a shortcut by traffic coming west from Carlsbad Village Drive and suggested the placement of IS-rails on the north side of Calle Susana at Avenida de Anita as a way to slow traffic and discourage commuter use. Ken Eppler, 2520 Via Astuto, a member of the Board of Directors of Tanglewood, spoke about the number of residents and cars in the units that border Avenida de Anita and the difficulties of merging onto the street with traffic exceeding the speed limits. Gayla Cowan, 4870 Hillside Drive, a member of the California Highway Patrol, stated that she understands the problems of the Tanglewood area and indicated that she is a proponent of Traffic Calming because it allows citizen input into the matter is a more realistic and unemotional way to evaluate problems and develop solutions.
