BOARD PRIORITIES

Neighborhood traffic study:

The CTTC advisory group will receive very soon a revised conceptual plan for "Phase 2"
traffic calming measures in College Terrace (Phase 1 being the 1974 closures.) It will
include 4 traffic circles on College Ave. which come in a range of prices as well as
measures to slow cars down on Stanford and California Avenues. The board discussed a
timeline for further steps in the process that need to be completed before
implementation of the final traffic management plan. To ensure that all residents have
the chance to be informed and participate, the board will do everything possible to
ensure that we reach everyone in the neighborhood at each step.

**First, when the plan is ready, the Traffic Study Advisory Group will schedule several
outreach meetings to bring the plan to the attention of the neighborhood in small groups.
These meetings will both inform residents and gather their feedback.

**Next, a community-wide presentation will be made at the CTRA annual meeting.
Because the consultant is unavailable on March 20, Paula moved that we re-
schedule this meeting for Thursday, March 18 in the evening. Kathy seconded
the motion and it passed on a voice vote.

**Third, the CTTC will take the labor-intensive step of hand delivering the official City
of PA surveys on the CT Traffic Mitigation Trial. This will be another opportunity to
communicate directly with CT residents. Residents then have until a specified date
to mail the enclosed "postcard" surveys back to the city.

**Finally, the board will sponsor follow-up sessions for those who have questions.

This will allow residents one last chance to be informed before returning their

survey postcards.

OFFICERS' REPORTS

A. President:

Kathy reiterated that the joint community traffic meeting and CTRA annual meeting will

take place Thursday evening, March 18. The board will have one more meeting prior to

that.

B. Vice-President:

Paula noted that the nominating committee is comprised of Maritza Frankfurt, Sarah
Hainstock, Virginia Ferguson, Emily Marshall and Margaret Miller. They are reviewing

all board positions and recruiting candidates for Treasurer, Social Coordinator and
Communications Director.

C. Social Coordinator:

Laura noted that she would be stepping down and that the next Social Coordinator will
have responsibility for the Spring picnic. The date will be Saturday, April 10 which is
the day before Easter and the end of Spring Break for the public schools.

D. Communications:

Kathy reported that Elliott Margolies has worked on an e-news to go out shortly. It
contains information about the nominating committee. She will try to pull together

volunteers to put together a print newsletter prior to the annual meeting. If this fails,

the traffic information and annual meeting announcement may be a separate flier.

E. Government/Stanford Observers:

Paul noted that the Stanford Research Park shuttle is running but still not publicized.

Erika attended the January 21 City Council meeting which concerned the Downtown
North Traffic Trial. She noted that much discussion focused on the tradeoffs between
safety and inconvenience. She also attended the January 28 Planning Commission ZOU
study session.

NEXT MEETING:

Because the California Primary election is March 2, we will hold our next meeting on
Monday, March 1 from 7:15 to 9:00 pm. (If the city council meeting on that evening is
of special interest to us, the date will become March 3 and the board will be notified by
e-mail.) The meeting will be at Holly's home.

Respectfully submitted by Holly Welstein, Secretary, CTRA.
