PUBLIC PARTICIPATION:

1. ORAL AND WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS

   Coming forward to address the Council at this time was:

   Kathleen Gerber – Hermosa Beach, described a recent parking problem near her home on Cypress, where people are being ticketed for parking where they have been parking for 20 years; within the white lines and behind the red line painted by the City and presented a photo; said the red line had become a series of red dots spread far apart since the street had not been repaved in many years; said she was told that this recent ticketing stemmed from a resident complaining about cars being parked over sidewalks, which has caused 25 residents to have no place to park; asked if the residents could have a special permit to use the 12-hour parking. (City Manager Burrell said there would be no more ticketing in this neighborhood until the problem is resolved, possibly the way a similar situation was handled on Loma Drive.)

   Action: By Council consensus, staff was directed to work with the residents to resolve the problem, possibly using the method used to handle a similar situation on Loma Drive, and to issue no additional parking tickets in the neighborhood until the problem is resolved.

   1. Letter from Patty Egerer dated December 19, 2005 regarding the signalization of Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) at 16th Street.

      Coming forward to address the Council on this item was: Patty Egerer – Hermosa Beach, summarized her letter, emphasizing her safety and traffic concerns and her requests for new plans, the withdrawal of CalTrans’ authorization to install the signal, a review by the Public Works Commission, and information regarding the signal’s funding (City Manager Burrell said the signal was privately funded by the Pavilion developer).

   2. Letter from Lee H. Grant dated December 18, 2005 regarding the signalization of Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) at 16th Street.

      Dee Grant – Hermosa Beach, said her husband Lee had written the letter but could not be present; said a petition opposing the signal had been signed by 27 people; said there were 25 children on the street; said the traffic is terrible now, but that the signal would contribute to 16th Street becoming even more of a thoroughfare from PCH to Prospect; pointed out that there were no sidewalks;

      David Adler – Hermosa Beach, said a majority of the neighborhood probably did want the signal but its installation would severely impact the safety of 16th Street residents; said making 16th Street a one-way street might be a solution; said drivers accelerated to get to the top of the hill and he was primarily concerned about the safety of the neighborhood children, particularly on their way to school; and

      (No name given) – Hermosa Beach, said she had lived on the very narrow 16th Street since 1994; urged the Council to thoroughly investigate the situation to protect residents; said as a mother and neighbor she was concerned about safety issues caused by the signal installation.

      Action: To refer the traffic signalization of PCH at 16th Street to the Public Works Commission for a hearing at its February meeting, with notice to the affected residents, to obtain input and recommend traffic mitigation measures at the intersection for Council consideration, with direction to staff to contact the animal hospital near that intersection for additional input.
