of property on the south side of Poway Road at the westerly city

Road in front of his residence, citing the difficulty in gaining access
to his driveway.

Swanson's driveway for access to their property and suggested, if the
medians are installed, a cut be provided at that location.

there is a solution that will not compromise the safety in the area.

mayors and city managers of the nine cities that contract with the
