Gary Lueders, Desert Bicycle Club and Coachella Valley Trails Alliance,
complimented the City for being bicycle-friendly;. conveyed support for
including a bike lane on Avenida Bermudas. In response to Council Member
Evans, he stated he supports a bike lane on both sides of the street.
William Cranham, 54-835 Avenida Madero, spoke in opposition to spending
funds to restripe Avenida Bermudas; suggested a median be .installed to
eliminate residents backing up into opposing traffic; stated traffic
enforcement needs to be conducted in the morning and evening; and further
suggested installation of a "reduced speed ahead" sign on the northbound
side approaching the Fritz Burns Park.
Council Member Henderson stated she agrees the posted speed limit should
be 40 mph but noted the City cannot arbitrarily do that because of the
requirement to post a speed limit of no less than 5 mph of the surveyed
speed which is 50 mph..
Mayor Adolph stated the speed limit stipulation is established by State
legislature; and voiced opposition to the proposed striping on Avenida
Bermudas.
Council Member Henderson stated she uses Avenida Bermudas a lot and has
seen traffic enforcement in the area. She understands the idea of narrowing
lanes to reduce speeds but does not support reducing the traffic lanes to
include bicycle lanes. She asked if a six-foot-wide bicycle lane would
accommodate a golf cart, and Traffic Engineer Consultant Lalani confirmed
that it would.
Council Member- Henderson conveyed opposition to .allowing golf carts on
Avenida Bermudas where the speed limit is 45 mph, and suggested they use
interior streets of the Cove where the speed limit is 25 mph. Public Works
Director Jonasson acknowledged the higher speed is an issue but explained
the challenge of connecting the golf cart path from the Cove to the Village
area.
In response to Council Member Henderson, Traffic Engineer Consultant Lalani
explained 14 feet is required to accommodate a 4-foot, raised median and
10-foot turn pockets.
Council Member Henderson conveyed support for striping the parking lane,
increasing the bicycle lane on the east side to 8 feet, widening the traffic
lanes, and conducting another speed survey in three months.
City Council Minutes 7
July 6, 2010
In response to Mayor Adolph, Traffic Engineer Lalani confirmed the street
improvements would include crosswalks at the existing stop signs.
Council Member Evans stated there is an inferred parking lane currently and
she supports striping the parking lane to define it along with the current bike
lane; suggested no additional improvements be made; and conveyed concern
about expending funds for slurry seal with the improvements. Public Works
Director Jonasson stated striping the parking lane and widening the bicycle
lane on the east side of the street would not require a slurry seal.
In response to Mayor Adolph, Public Works Director Jonasson stated
Avenida Bermudas is scheduled for a slurry seal in the next three or four
years.
Council Member Franklin suggested making each of the north/southbound
lanes 12 feet wide, the parking lane 8 feet wide, and the bike lanes 8 feet
wide. In regard to a discussion about the width of the northbound lane,
Public Works Director Jonasson clarified the right northbound lane is 15 feet
wide including a 5-foot-wide bike lane.
Mr. Cranham suggested installing two additional stop signs with crosswalks
to slow traffic and allow pedestrian crossing. Public Works Director
Jonasson explained additional stop signs are unwarranted because of a lack
of cross-traffic.
Council Member Sniff voiced oppgsition to installing. additional stop signs;
suggested increasing the bike lane on the east side to 8 feet, eliminating the
west bike lane, providing traffic lanes at 11 feet each, and striping the
remaining pavement on the west side as a parking lane.
In response to Council Member Henderson, Traffic Engineer Consultant Lalani
explained a striped parking lane wider than 8 feet would appear to be a
driving lane and be unsafe for traffic.
Council Member Sniff suggested an 8-foot-wide bike lane on the east side,
11-foot-wide traffic lanes, striping the remaining pavement on the west as a
security area for residents, and directing staff to proceed with the project.
He asked if sandblasting would be required, and Public Works Director
Jonasson confirmed that it would be. Council Member Sniff .suggested
another survey be conducted in 120 days.
Council Member Franklin suggested an 8-foot-wide bike lane on the east
side, 12-foot-wide through lanes, and an 8-foot-wide parking lane. Council
Member Sniff stated 8 feet is not enough room for the residents.
City Council Minutes 8 July 6, 2010
Council Member Evans noted 12-foot-wide traffic lanes can be implemented
without restriping; and suggested increasing the existing bike lane to 8 feet,
and striping the current 8-foot-wide parking area.
MOTION - It was moved by Council Members Evans/Henderson to approve
modified striping for Avenida Bermudas from Calle Durango to Calle Arroba
as follows: an 8-foot-wide parking lane on the west side, 8-foot-wide bicycle
lane on the east side, and two 12-foot-wide traffic lanes in both directions.
Council Member Sniff requested revisiting this in 120 days after completion
of the project.

with the addition of the art pieces. Community Services Director Hylton

contents of the library with a 5500 deductible.

donation. Community Services Director Hylton stated it is 60 days.
Council Member Henderson asked if a policy for displaying temporary
donations is being considered. Community Services .Director Hylton agreed it
would be a good idea, and explained there is very little room for displaying
temporary pieces at the library. Council Member Henderson stated it would
be prudent for the Community Services Commission to begin this discussion.
Council Member Evans asked how many requests the City receives to display
temporary donations. Community Services Director Hylton stated staff has
had tv4o in the last five years.

at this time.

spoke in support of staff recommendation No. 2; agreed this is not the time
to implement a fee increase; conveyed hope that the building industry will
grow in the near future; noted keeping the fees at the current rate will
encourage building; and suggested deferring the fee until 2012.

deferring the fee increase at this time; noted the recent fee increases by
Coachella Valley Water District and other fees such as the Multi-Species
Habitat Mitigatioh Fee, adds approximately 55,000 cost per home; and
requested the City consider the increased fees and economy in aggregate.

the developer and staff report back on the outcome of this matter. Council
