TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION MINUTES JUNE 26. 199~
The Commission expressed a concern for the use of Solano
Way, in it's present condition, as an interim route.
COMMISSIONER ROBERTS indicated that the southern route
from Sports Park, down Margarita to De Portola, to Ynez,
to Rancho Vista, back to Sports Park, was an excellent
route, which he has incorporated in many bike rides and
walk-a-thons.
CHAIRMAN JOHNSON suggested for a northern route, taking
Margarita from La Serena Way and crossing Solano Way and
going back up General Kearney and routing through
Meadowview. The Commission further recommended using
Avenida Barca as the start of the loop off of Margarita
through Meadowview.
SAL MUNOZ stated that one of the highest density areas
in the city was in the area of Solano Way and Margarita,
and there is a need for a mechanism to get these
individuals from this area to the southern bike path.
COMMISSIONER ROBERTS suggested getting an interim asphalt
bike path off the roadway on the east side at Rancho
California Road and Margarita, to tie the north and south
bike routes together.
SHAWN NELSON stated that he would be bringing forth these
recommendations to the Parks and Recreation Commission and
come back to the Traffic Commission with a final interim
bike route recommendation for their approval.
5. RORIPAUGH ROAD/JON CHRISTIAN PLACE
5.1 Recommendation that the Traffic and Transportation

Commission concur with the Engineering Department
recommendation to install 2-way stop control at the
