Tidelands Avenue discussed The Council discussed a possible median area on Tidelands Avenue by the Unified Port Dis- trict. Motion for medians It was moved by Mayor Hamilton, seconded by Councilman Scott that in the widening of "J" Street, a provision be made that medians be constructed for tree plantings.

Speaking against motion Councilman Scott felt the motion was too encompassing and not enough thought has been given as to the ramifications of having this median strip. Undergrounding utilities Mayor Hamilton explained another point in hav- ing the median strip was to discourage busi- nesses from going in along this street, and keeping the street residential. He added that the undergrounding of utilities should be brought up in the discussion of this wid- ening project. Director of Public Works comments Mr. Cole remarked that if the Council wants this area to be the next undergrounding project, then the lead time needed for the utilities: telephone, gas and electric, and cable TV, would put the project off for about eight or nine months.

Motion withdrawn Councilman Hobel withdrew his motion. Motion to continue It was moved by Councilman Hobel that this entire matter be continued to the next meet- ing. David Kassabahn, 615 East "J" Street Mr. Kassabahn discussed the parking lanes and the width of the street. He noted in the master plan, the median strips were the same width and what is being discussed is primarily the landscaping. He added that on the plans, East "J" Street feeds into Tele- graph Canyon Road without any access to 805 Freeway. This would indicate that the traf- fic would not be too heavy so as to indicate the need for two lanes each way. Motion carried The motion to hold this matter over for one week was seconded by Councilman Scott and carried unanimously.
