ALIGNMENT OF SOUTH POWAY EXPRESSWAY
Item introduced by City Manager Bowersox. Staff report by Director of

precise alignment of the road has been adopted as part of the individual tenta-
tive maps that have been approved. As a condition of their tentative map, the
developers of Parkway Business Centre are required to construct the road from
their easterly boundary to Sycamore Canyon Road which requires establishment of
the precise alignment. Staff recommends approval.

as it transitions from a voluntary organization to one that provides services
through grants. Staff recommends approval.

Emery, seconded by Councilmember Higginson, to loan ADAPT $10,000 for a one-year
period with an additional $10,000 to be loaned once all the member agencies have

19. A)
{City Manager Bowersox left the room as he lives on Triumph Drive and
has a potential conflict of interest.) Councilmember McIntyre stated
she and Director of Engineering Services Weston had met with residents
on Triumph Drive recently regarding additional traffic control
measures. This item has been before Council several times in the past
few years and circumstances have changed with the pending construction
of Silverset Park. The request is for a 3-way stop sign at Fieldview
and Triumph and road bumps. Road bumps appear to be effective as evi-
denced by their trial period on Carriage Road.
