the completion of the comprehensive traffic study by the City ' s Traffic
Engineer.

• PLiITION IN SUPPORT OF
AN ALTERNATIVE PLAN FOR AMADOR VALLEY BLVD.
We the undersigned are concerned citizens of the City of Dublin,
Alameda County, State of California .
We are herreby petitioning the Dublin City .Council and Alameda
Board of Supervisors to cancel their "Master Plan" for Traffic
Control on Amador Valley Boulevard and instead consider the following
plan which emphasizes safety, traffic speed control , and neighborhood
improvements .
The plan simply stated includes three basic points which we the
undersigned subscribe to :
1) The placement of Stop Signs where Ann Arbor Way and Penn. Street
intersect with Amador Valley Boulevard in an effort to provide
safety to both vehicles and pedestrians (school children for
example) traveling in both directions .
2) The landscaping of the medium divide of Amador Valley Boulevard
in an effort to improve the neighborhood scenic value . This would
also include a continual maintenance of the divide strip to keep it
clean of trash.
3) The posting of a speed limit of 25 miles per hour along the entire
Amador Valley Boulevard with appropriate radar enforcement by the
Dublin Police Department . Although the speed limit is now 25 miles
per hour along most sections of the boulevard, this speed limit
would be enforced with the aid of radar surveillance so as to catch
speeding vehicles that now average 40 miles per hour .
In addition, we the undersigned do not want :
1) A widening of Amador Valley Boulevard as proposed by the City
to accomodate more traffic .
2) An increase of the speed limit to 30 miles per hour , or higher .
3) A costly increase to the taxpayer as proposed by the City' s
"Master Plan" on Amador Valley traffic which has been estimated
to run as high as $400 , 000 to achieve fruitless objectives .
