o Commissioner Carbone inquired about timing of actions that take place after each
request made for TAC and more specifically for items under number 2208.
Associate Engineer Chou explained the process from beginning to end; work
orders are created from each request and distributed out. Turn around time,
depending on each work order, is a few weeks. Both parties confirmed there is
separate funding for these requests/work orders.
o Vice Chair Malfatti commented that the City does do an investigation on each
request to either move it forward or give feedback on why it wasn’t moved forward.
o Commissioner Monzon noted a traffic concern submitted through See-Click Fix,
off of 201 Cypress and Grand Ave; in Commissioner Monzon’s findings, the current
construction is obstructing the walkway for pedestrians. Construction sites are not
abiding by safety guidelines.
o Secretary Espiritu commented that these safety concerns can be amplified by the
Commission writing a note through construction.ssf.net, whichwill flag this on-
going issue. Commissioner Carbone inquired if the Chair of the Traffic Safety
Commission can raise these concerns; Secretary Espiritu confirmed that all
commissioners can fill out a TAC form to air these concerns. Commissioner
Carbone suggested that the TSC Chairperson submit a note on behalf of the TSC,
and Chairperson Abarca agreed to submit a note.
o Commissioner Monzon opened the conversation to have a City tour next meeting
of all the construction sites/projects.
ITEMS FROM THE COMMISSION:
- Commissioner Carbone brought up the improvements off Grand and Airport,
he would like this to be addressed in the next meeting. Secretary Espiritu noted
he and Associate Engineer Chou will coordinate for October’s meeting agenda.
