Present were the chair, Jon Hartmann, Michael Meyer, President Dan Bernstein, Eileen Peterson, Howard Strem, Anthony Deckoff, and Erik Sanjurjo from the Office of Councilman LeBonge.

VOTE: three in favor of hour expansion, three against
VOTE: three in favor of higher red-light violation fines, three against

2. The current funding source limitations countered discussion on the need for rail service expansion. Chair made presentation on the potential use of the Chandler median in Burbank as a link between Metrolink and the Red Line. Contact with the City of Burbank is suggested.
3. Discussion was held regarding the lane width of Fountain Avenue, and the need to regulate parking and/or widen lanes.
4. Primera Avenue is used as a by-pass when Cahuenga East and Barham are congested, creating a dangerous situation; statements made by participants included mention of no-turn signs posted for specific hours.
