CARPUS NOTES

 

At the CARPUS meeting last week, it was suggested residents may like to send individual letters, to Council member Marti Emerald and the mayor's office, to elevate their awareness of the ongoing issue of an understaffed police department.  Please request that they pursue and secure additional funding to hire extra officers for Eastern Division's C-squad to minimize or reduce incidents that are "adversely affecting quality of life" in the College Area.

MAY MEETING SUMMARY

 MEETING REPORT

 

At the May meeting, the board approved the budget for the 2015 - 16 fiscal year, and appointed members to the following standing committees: Project Review, Code Enforcement and Nuisance Rental Properties, Beautification, and Outreach. There were also appointments to several ad hoc committees. If you are interested in serving on one of the CACC/CACPB's committees, or want to find out what they do, please go to  www.collegearea.org and click on About Us/Committees, or talk to a board member at the meeting who can steer you to the right person. This year's budget includes increased funds for Outreach activities, as we work to grow membership in the CACC/CACPB.

 

The board approved the annual audit for the 2014 - 15 fiscal year. There were no significant findings.

 

The board also approved a signage plan for Alvarado Medical Plaza III on Alvarado Road. The improved signage should make it easier for patients to find their medical providers at this site. At present, there is confusion because several of the office buildings are similar.

 

We heard a brief presentation from CACC board member Maurize Rios regarding new signage available for Neighborhood Watch groups in the College Area. To learn more about the signage, and the neighborhood surveillance system set up in El Cerrito, email [email protected] and we'll have Maurize get back to you.

 

Finally, the board considered a proposed traffic mitigation plan which would include the following elements:

  • A new signal light at College Avenue and Zura Way

  • Signal synchronization on College Avenue from Highway 8 to Montezuma

  • Money to study and eventually improve the Montezuma/Fairmount exchange

  • Approval of Class II bike lanes on College Avenue as proposed by SDSU (i.e., in front of South Campus Plaza)

  • "Adoption" of College Avenue from Montezuma to I-8 by SDSU traffic engineering students and the City to study improvements to the College corridor.

  •  

  •  

  • While support was expressed for several elements of the proposal, such as signal synchronization on College and the eventual improvement of the Montezuma/Fairmount exchange, the board voted unanimously to reject the proposal and request a study of environmental impacts of the plan. Concerns revolve around the fact that bike lanes on that segment of College could be achieved only by narrowing the vehicle lanes, which would result in a slowdown of vehicular traffic on that already congested segment, and diversion of vehicular traffic to other major streets in the College Area. The board's position is that such an action should not be taken without a thorough analysis of the environmental impacts, and the opportunity for community input. The CACC/CACPB has asked SDSU and the City to conduct such an analysis and provide an opportunity for input, so far with no success. There are several possible alternative bike routes which parallel College Avenue, which have not been considered by the City or SDSU, and these also need to be examined before any final decision is made.
