(44) TRAFFIC CIRCULATION WORKSHOP Mayor Friess advised that the purpose of the meeting was to discuss traffic circulation issues both inside and outside of the City limits in a workshop setting with no decisions to be made. Exhibits were on display. George Alvarez, City Traffic Engineer, set forth the background of traffic studies, including the County Master Plan of Streets and Highways, the SouthEast Orange County Circulation Study (SEOCCS), and County General Plan Amendment 79-3 which proposes the reinstatement of Junipero Serra Road as an Arterial Highway. Mr. Alvarez then reviewed the projects proposed for construction within the next five years. SUMMARY OF WORKSHOP STATEMENTS Priorities for Traffic Inside of City Limits: Camino Capistrano bridge widening at San Juan Creek Road and realignment of railroad. Extension of Alipaz North. Rancho Viejo Road from Endevco to Ortega. Widening of San Juan Creek Road from La Novia. Alipaz south of Del Obispo. Widening of Rancho Viejo Bridge. Trade deletion of Horno Creek Road and La Novia for a less mitigating impact on Junipero Serra. Consider whether it costs more to participate in AHFP than the City gains. City has choice of not accepting AHFP funds and requesting return of City allocations. Decision to be made on desirability of construction of Junipero Serra - not shown on City or County plans. Support Stonehill extension. No benefit to Junipero Serra without Alipaz extension. I£ Junipero Serra bridge not tied in, there is no solution. Improve traffic flow at Del Obispo and Ortega. Ask State to sign freeway to encourage beach traffic to bypass City. Premise of General Plan was that the downtown should be a pleasant place for people who live here. Priorities for Traffic Outside of City Limits: Negotiate with County for construction of San Joaquin Corridor, Junipero Serra and Stonehill which is most beneficial to the City in order to retain AHFP funding. San Joaquin Corridor and Junipero Serra - no direct benefit. -1- 10/24/79 8:00 p.m. m Junipero Serra essentially serves County purposes only - impacts without Golden Lantern will be vast. County residents would be forced to use Stonehill if Alipaz is not constructed. Should roads determine City policy? Are roads determining lifestyle? Need guarantees from County for construction of roads designated on maps, since designation is County justification for approving land use and housing. No benefit to Junipero Serra without Alipaz extension. Are roads to serve the people or people to serve the roads? (32) MEETING SCHEDULES Mayor Friess thanked the persons attending the workshop and advised that meetings would be held monthly; the next session to be a discussion of development concerns.
