Mr. Collazo described the meetings with Caltrans regarding right-turn access from Lugonia Avenue for trucks into the highly necessary ser- vice drive. He described several exit and entrance designs. Council- man Riordan stressed the heavy and fast traffic on Lugonia Avenue and expressed concern with traffic entering and leaving the Center.

Motion was seconded by Councilman Knudsen, Following further discussion of this matter, the motion was unanimously approved.
