5. Median Removal - West Redlands Boulevard
At the meeting of October 21, 1980, the City Manager reported the recom-
mendation from the Traffic Commission to remove the median strip in
Redlands Boulevard, west of Alabama Street. After long discussion this
was approved by a three: to two vote of the City Council.
At this time, the City Manager read a staff recommendation that the
median strip remain for twelve months after the proposed development
has been in operation, and that the developer post a cash bond for its
removal, should that prove necessary. Councilman Gorman then moved to
rescind the prior action of the Council on the median removal. This
was seconded by Councilman Roth and carried by the following vote:
AYES: Councilmembers Gorman, Roth, Martinez; NOES: Councilmember Riordan
and Mayor. DeMirjyn. Councilman Roth then moved to accept the staff
recommendation that the median remain for twelve months for evaluation
of traffic flow and problems; and include the required bone?. Councilman
Gorman seconded the motion.
Mr. Stanger of Continental Group addressed Council to state that this
was a Catch-22 position for a developer; that he had told potential
tenants the median would be removed. fie added that they will not sign
a lease so Council will not see how it works for twelve months.
Council was reminded that a five-foot wide median from Alabama Street,
235 feet to the west, was required to protect electronic devices for
the signals. Dr. Roth's motion to approve staff's reconnendat.ion failed
by the following vote: AYES: Councilmembers Gorman and Roth; NOES:
Councilmembers Martinez and Riordan; Mayor DeMir.jyn.

stated that mosttraffic handbooks recommend raised medians and added
that it has been the Department of Public Works' policy to maintain the
raised median.. He then recommended that Council. observe Waterman Avenue
from Third to Fifth Streets during heavy traffic.
Councilman Gorman explained his reasons for reversing his original vote
as the potential for blocking of westbound traffic by cars making left
turns into K-Mart, and the potential for accidents. Following further
discussion, the motion to remove the area of the median orig-inally
regcsted, made by Councilman Riordan, seconded by Councilman Martinez,
carried by the following vote: AYES: Councilmembers Martinez, Riordan;
