It was thought that �if the cast here �_s $5400, the City of Cu�erti 'o
should appropriate $2500 and the City oi S�n Jose and the County
should contribute $250�.. Th� Planning Comr�.issien recommended this
be moved up to 1974--75 hudget. '
Comm. Nellis said srie caould like to discuss the bike lanes from Bike lanes to
this area to Monta Vista I:ig�i School. She said this c ame up at �onta Vista
the Town Hall r�eetine. She proposed it be considered for 1974-75. High Scheol
Chairman Buthenuth asked for conments from the audience. There
were none. He asked the staff to keep track of the accountin�
for all. these changes, t� make sure these expen�es can be handled �
in the year recommended. CoLun. Adams T��auld. like the staff to co�:e �
back with an adjusted figure, based on the Cor�snission's reco�znenda- �
tions.
Mr. Faut said the Subce:nmittee wantad to �ake t:ze point that every
effort be made te reduce the number of bike lane si;ns. The Actin
Director of Public ��'orks stated �tnat in order to eniorce the Code •
it is necessary to have the signs fairlS� close together.
Traffic Signals Traffic S�gnsls
The Acting Director of Public Works stated that mo�t of the modi-
" f icat�ons are for the removal of the "pork chops" at ir.tersections
and mov�ng the traffic signal back.
The Planning Commission concurred with the Subcommittee recom-
mendations for the modifications aC tti�olte and Prur.er�dge, Stevens
Creek at Finch, and Saratoga-�unnyvale Road at Stevens Creek Blvd.
Alma Dippel, of the Subcommittee, reported that the intersection
of_Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road at Bollinger gets a lot of traffic, and
three jurisdictions are involved: The�� would like this project
started right away. The Acting Director of Public iJcrks stated •
that the City of San.Jose is contemplating put�in� Bollinger Road
Chrougn to Stelling Road within one or two years.
As to the modification at Stevens Creek Blvd. and the Firehouse,
the Acting Director of Public Wor'.cs stated that at the present '
time it does not conforn� to the ne�v rules of tratfic. The Central

As to the insta]_lation at Stevens Creek Blvd. anc� Torre Avenue, the
Subcommittee felt strongly about putting this in an unprogrammed state
because it is tied in wiCh the Mariani project. They want iC removed
from tne 1973-74 bud�et. This depends on th� General Plan results. .
It sl�ould be he7.d in abeyance. �
Comm. Nellis was concerned that if it is held in abeyance that'the cit�.zens •
might feel the Planning Commission is prejudging on the location of
the regional shopping center. This is not the case.
The staff was instrucCed to come up with a definition for "abeyance".
�, �
Installation aC Homestead at Torre and Blue Jay.
The 5ubcommittee recommen3ed this be coordinated with the City of Sunnyvale.
It should ba shown what the amount of money is that is contributed by
_ the developer of Northpoint on this pro,ject.
The Planning Commi.ssion wanted this t�udgeted for 1974-75, as recominended
by the Subcommittee.
Installation: Sarato�a-Sunnyvale Road at Lazaneo. �
Ti1is is in Crossrnads III LZD.
Alma bippel said ttie Subcor,�mi�tee had much discussion on this because
of its close proximity to Forest Avenue. They were assured that it
WJll1.C� not conn�cC with Fo'rest Avenue, The Assistant City Attorney said
th�t if the pZan line is to be modified so�ae time in the future it
� would require public hearing. �
� The �raft �wa� instructed to grepare a report as to what implications
there are if tliese it�ms are held in abeyance rather than in an
� unpr_ogrammed state. One question is if a project is unpro�rammed, does
� it p:. ohib3.t i� f rnm proceeding .
Instailation: Foothil.l at 5tarling.
The Planning Co:r.mission concurred t�ith the Subcommittee's recc�mmendation.
Installation: Steven� Creek at Orange and Mann, .
Alma Bippe:L said the Coinmii:tee felt that if �liis is warranted it should
ba tied in uai�h Che Stevens Craek H1vd. �ridening.
Th� Planning Co�nmiasion i•ecommznded this matt�er be held in abeyaTce.

The Planning Commission fe�ls this should be tied to the Tantau

Comri o I�'ellis ���ould like to give some thought t:� moving this up ,
based otY the co�riments from thP citize�s �n tl�at area regardinb

slated. �
Installation: 2�ScClellan at Btibb Road.
The Acting Director of Public tr'orks stated that the present 4-raay
stop is not too effective here. It was r,toved up to 1973-74.
Modification: Pruneridge and `.dolfe.
rirs. Llippel said r:ze islan3 containin� the signal juts out too
far here, making it unsafe. Tlie Planning Commissien concurred
with the recommendation of the Subcommittee.
Modification: Stevens Creek at Stelling.
�Nirs . Dippel asked that rhis ite^i be d� scu,ssed alona �..ti=ith the
modification of Stevens Creek-Mary Avenue, and :3om�estead at
Hollenbeck. She said the Subcommittee feels these areas ;aust be
attended to rattler_ than to leave them in an unprograr:mled state,
The elimination of .�he "pork chops" is ior safety. Cars will then
corie to a full ��op before turning rig:�xt, if the li�ht is red.
Af ter further discussion, it was decided t'.ie Planning Com�ni ssi.on
�,ras in f avor of budseting the Stevens Creek at Mary and Stevens
Creek at Stelling for 1974-75, hut to leave the Ho.11c.nbeck at
