Item 30 - Traffic Mayor Fulp said he had requested a study for the right lane on Cooley Lane and thanked Councilmember/Director Hutton for his response. Councilmember Bennett requested a study of traffic signals of all the intersections, including Barton Road and Washington Avenue, for safety, namely, timing of synchronized lights by traffic and safety engineers. She said she had timed the lights and the "yellows" were very fast. Councilmember/Director Hutton said that a joint project agreement authority approved funding for a multi -agency jurisdictional inter -connect system along Washington Avenue for all traffic signals along Washington and Mt. Vernon and he reported the job was finished, except for "M" Street. The City of Colton's portion of the study was $30,000 and included review and timing of all the signals as part of the inter -modem transportation and signalization system. Civil Engineer Tim Wilson answered questions regarding the study and concluded that traffic engineers are charged with providing a the City a safe signal and well-timed intersection. He assured that the study was performed by a highly acclaimed firm. He suggested that the City rely on the professionals to solve these problems. As the study was recent, he said they would review all signals in the field. Mayor Fulp directed the matter be continued to allow further review and asked Messrs. Hutton and Wilson to return in the near future. Councilmember Bennett requested a timing between the "red" and the "green." Mr. John Longfield asked that the study include what they do in their study -- how long they are giving the children to cross at Washington and Meadow, how long the light is (check with school hours); and at Washington and Barton, check timing of Left Turn light. He asked for input from residents. Item 31 - Streets MAR 19 1996
