Request for The City Clerk presented the request for two traffic Two Traffic signals for South Coast Plaza II. Signals for South Coast The Director of Public Services stated that the Plaza II developers of the South Coast Plaza expansion have requested permission to construct two traffic signals, one on Bear Street about midway between Sunflower Ave- nue and South Coast Drive and the other on South Coast Drive about 500 feet west of Bear Street. In their letter dated July 7, 1986, staff recommended the following: (1) Approve the signal on South Coast Drive at the entrance only when warranted; (2) Deny request on Bear Street at project entrance and direct staff to .preclude the need for this traffic signal by prohibiting left -turns exiting the shopping centers; (3) Direct developer to pursue design and construction of a pedestrian overcrossing from the new mall to the new parking structure across Bear Street; (4) If a traffic signal is approved, require developer to pay the cost and enter into agreement to reim- burse the City for 50 percent of all operation and maintenance costs. Instead of a signal on Bear Street, staff recommended that outbound left turns be prohibited from the project and that a pedestrian bridge be planned to alleviate conflicts. The Bear Street traffic signal is "warranted" by recognized traffic volume criteria, but there is no requirement of the City to construct warranted traffic signals unless safety is a demonstrated problem. The signal on Bear Street will result in four traffic signals with high pedestrian activity and heavy turns within less than a mile. Robert Gilmartin, Broadway Department Store, 550 South Flower Street, Los Angeles, stated that they retained the firm of DKS Associates to prepare a Traffic Signal Warrant Study. He also stated that their main concern is safety. Michael Meyers, DKS Associates, 742 South Hill Street, Los Angeles, gave a presentation of the Traffic Signal Warrant Study. He stated that a signal is warranted based on traffic volume and the need for accessability, safety, and convenience. Jack McCarly, Public Affairs Officer for Bullock's, spoke about the vast amount of urgency in and around shopping centers. Preston Plaxco, 949 Junipero Drive, Costa Mesa, stated that a fully signalized intersection would be safest. Jan Luymes, 592 Park Drive, Costa Mesa, stated that the left-hand turn onto Bear Street and into the new mall is important. She also suggested an awning for the overcrossing. James White, 493 Broadway, Costa Mesa, suggested that if there is an overcrossing, the pedestrian crosswalk should be deleted. Council Member Schafer informed Mr. White that the pedestrian crosswalk would precede an overcrossing. MOTION A motion was made by Council Member Hall, seconded by South Coast Drive Council Member Wheeler, and carried 5-0, to approve the Signal Approved signal on South Coast Drive at the project entrance only when warranted.
