DCM/DeStefano responded to C/Ruzicka that the Traffic and Transportation Commission, "uS
in response to citizens requests, considered the matter of installation of speed humps on
Goldrush Drive. The Traffic and Transportation Commission, in accordance with its
previously agreed upon speed hump policy, determined that this mitigation measure would
not be appropriate and may, in fact, result .in hazardous conditions due to the slope and
curvature of the street. Other more appropriate mitigation measures are being considered.
C/Nelson said he is surprised about the Golden Springs Drive and Raquet Club Road traffic
control project because he had no idea that the area of Golden Springs Drive has that type of
traffic volume.
DCM/DeStefano responded that the project was not necessarily based upon traffic volume.
i
In this case, the project was based upon safety concerns.
DCM/DeStefano explained to C/Kuo that the amount specified for street improvem6nt is
$4,150,000. The figure of $3,550,000 noted in the June 4 memorandum was the amount of
City resources. $600,000 is Redevelopment Agency money. He explained the City's budget
considerations based upon project needs, resources and the ability to implement the projects.
