Q 0 0 0 CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT This matter is being placed on the Agenda at the request of the San Bernardino Valley Board of Realtors. Attached to the request is a petition signed by school staff members at Golden Valley Junior,High and Parkside Elementary, relative to the volume of traffic on Waterman. The Harrison Canyon Freeway is a matter over which Cal-Trans and the County of San Bernardino have greater jurisdiction than does the City of San Bernardino. However, the Board of Realtors would like to have the matter discussed by the Mayor and Common Council, relative to the build-up of traffic on Waterman and the attendant problems which the future increase in traffic will pose for the City. Right-of-way, construction costs, freeway tie-in, etc. are aspects of the project in which the City would play a lesser role than would the other two jurisdictions. The increasing traffic on Waterman is of vital interest to the City; how- ever, and City participation in any comprehensive approach to a solution would be extremely important. 75.0264 > o o o o CITY OF San Bernardino OFFICE OF THE MAYOR W.
