'way traffic on the bridge during the five days of
Easter Week, April 13 to 17.
Mr. Griffith stated that the plans were to have
the bridge open to two -way traffic this week, with
work to continue under the bridge. He urged imme-
diate relief from the traffic congestion;
Ray Lowy, owner of Accent Interiors, Balboa Island,
addressed the Council, stating that the holiday
traffic has caused a backup from Marine to Agate
along Park. He stated that they had been told by
City staff that the bridge would be open to two-way
traffic during Easter Week.
Paula Madison, Balboa Island Merchant, 317 Marine .
Avenue, addressed the Council advising that their

closed to two -way traffic the entire month of

Island the past weekend, as well as those leaving,

Council Member Maurer reported that it had taken
him 35 minutes to get across the bridge this
afternoon, and that the intersections of Balboa
and Park at Marine, were heavily congested. In
addition, people were driving in the wrong direc-
tion in the alley ways.
Council Member Maurer advised that he had received
a letter from the Balboa Island Improvement Asso-
ciation, addressed to the City Manager, recommend-
ing consideration be given to the merchants who
had been told that the bridge would be open during
Easter Week.
Ben Nolan, Director of Public Works, spoke in
response to comments made, stating that the com-
plaints were ligitimate. The serious concern that
the staff has had since the project began was,
that it be completed prior to Summer. Rain has
caused some delay; however, the contractor now has
a larger crew, and to stop the project at this
time could cost the City approximately $25,000.
He was hopeful that the bridge would be open to
both lanes on Friday, and recommended the job not
be shut down at this time.
Following consideration of which day to cease work
Bal /Is Brdg
on the bridge, the staff was directed to instruct
C -2014
the contractor to stop work on Balboa Island
(38)
Bridge commencing Tuesday, April 14 through
Friday, April 17. The contractor is to be paid
damages pursuant to the contract, as approved by
the Director of Public Works, and further, traffic
control assistance be provided immediately where
needed on the Island, as well as Bayside Drive.
Following additional discussion, Council Member
Maurer amended.his motion to reflect that the
work shall cease, commencing Wednesday, April 15.
R. E. Griffith addressed the Council again, stat-
ing it was his understanding that there was a
great deal of work to be done under the bridge
and that possibly work could continue in that
area.
Don Collinge addressed the Council in.support of
continuing the work in view of the cost involved.
Margaret Long of Material Things, Balboa Island,
addressed the Council, stating that in September
their Association had a meeting at which time
they were told that there would be one -way traffic
only 30 days out of the entire construction
period, and that the construction would be com-
pleted by April 1. They also heard 'today from
the construction people that the completion day
is now June 1.
A vote was taken on Council Member Maurer °s
motion and amendment thereto, which carried.
