ANNOUNCEMENTS:

OPPS!  WERE PREMATURE.  OUR ROBIN IS NOW NUMBER THREE.    We reported that Robin Marcario was elected to the Garden Grove Ciy Council, that was before they counted all of the mail-in ballots.  They are still counting so we will wait for the official certification.  Good luck Robin.

TERM LIMIT CHANGE FOR CITY COUNCIL The City Council has approved a ballot measure for the November 4, 2008, General Election, to amend the City's term limits ordinance.  The ammendment would shorten the wait time to two years from four for a termed-out councilman.  The measure went down in flames.

Speeding on Stanford: On Wednesday evening November 5th, the Traffic Commission took up the issue of calming the speeding traffic along Stanford Avenue between Brookhurst and Gilbert.  Staff recommended and the Commision approved the installation of stripping along the edges to lessen the speedway look of the street.  They also approved the installation of wig-wag lights and a radar-sign system that will report a car's speed.  Further, they tasked staff to develpe traffic dampening requirements for the developer of the Brookhurst Triangle when the scope of the project is known.

Century Triangle:  The City Council granted an exclusive negotiating agreement for the Century Triangle bordering Century Blvd, GG Blvd and Grand Street to Brandywine for 180 days to produce plans for apartments on the site.

Traffic Light at Lampson and Gilbert: 
The City Council recently decided to remove the 4 way stop sign intersection of Lampson and Gilbert from the priority traffic signal list.  The Traffic Commission advised the removal due to a recent traffic study citing a reduction in traffic due to the 22 freeway improvements and the additional lane on Garden Grove Blvd.  If in the future the intersection is re-evaluated the public will be given an opportunity to speak at public hearings for both the Traffic Commission and the City Council.
