City Manager Burrell presented the staff report and responded to Council questions saying that a CEQA review would be required for the project.

Alan Mason - 625 Monterey Blvd., spoke of the problems caused by traffic on Monterey;

Wanda Smith - 144 Monterey Blvd., spoke of the problems caused by traffic on Monterey;

Rosamond Fogg - 610 Sixth Street, expressed concern that opening Valley to two-way traffic would create a greater increase in traffic to all streets in the area

Judith Klink - The Mooring, 501 Herondo, said that for the majority of the 75 units in her condominium complex the only driveway exit that allowed a car to go east was off of Valley at its intersection with Herondo and that two-way traffic would block this exit;

Joe Stockman - The Mooring, 501 Herondo, agreed with Ms. Klink; also concerned with the possibility of heavy oil trucks entering on Valley if the Macpherson project is approved;

Wallace Graves - 501 Herondo, said that a compromise solution would be no-right turn onto Monterey, thus decreasing the traffic there and forcing it onto Hermosa Avenue which is more of an arterial street;

Gloria Anderson - 135 Monterey Blvd., said she saw no reason not to re-open Valley Drive to two-way traffic;

Cathy Barron - 501 Herondo, expressed concern regarding the increase of traffic when the large commercial complex is opened in Redondo on the south side of Herondo;

Lance Widman - 1015 Fourth Street, former Mayor and Councilmember, said that he was on the Council when the changes were made to close Valley Drive to northerly traffic at Herondo; said that this was part of a larger study to try to ease traffic for Hermosans and force commuter traffic onto Pacific Coast Highway; said that when Valley had been made one-way, signs had restricted turning right onto Monterey as well and suggested that this was the best solution at this time;

Jim Lissner - Hermosa Beach, urged the Council to try all other alternatives before opening Valley Drive to two-way traffic as it would be much more difficult to return it to a one-way status; suggested that since speed was one of the big complaints of the residents of Monterey Blvd. that more enforcement and possibly road-bumps should be used;

Dave Sestak - 102 Monterey Blvd., said that as one of the original letter writers to complain of traffic conditions on Monterey Blvd., his intent was to have barricades placed at the southerly intersection with Herondo, not to divert the traffic up onto Valley Drive; said that the Council should look at the entire area in order to make it more difficult for commuter traffic to use any residential street;

John Burt - 1152 Seventh Street, asked that Flagler be opened; wanted two-way traffic on Herondo;

Larry Cole - 501 Herondo, asked the Council to find a compromise, such a signage or barricades, to reduce the traffic on Monterey Blvd. rather than to increase the traffic on Valley Drive;

Conrad Kauble - 447 Herondo, asked the Council to find a method to reduce commuter traffic in all residential areas in order to benefit the residents of Hermosa Beach;

Chris Clark - 104 Monterey Blvd., said that over 4,000 cars per day turned onto Monterey Blvd. from Herondo and then over 3,000 cars turned right onto Second Street to get back on Valley Drive; suggested that Valley Drive be opened to two-way traffic;

G.T. Bradley - 447 Herondo, spoke of the narrow lanes on Valley Drive compared to those on Monterey Blvd.;

John Williams - 312 25th Street, supported opening Valley Drive opened to two-way traffic;
