Arden ITS Meeting December

Monday, December 6 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM County/City staff will discuss the Arden Way ITS project. This project includes installing ITS technology in the roadway as well as changeable message signs. We will meet at St. Ignatus Church at 3235 Arden Way (between Watt and Morse). Attached are concerns raised at the meeting in October by the few residents who attended the city's meeting.

Concern include the EIR issues, increased auto and truck capacity projected with the new technology, the cost-benefit ratio for various items such as changeable message signs, level of improved service and reduced headway for RT and shuttles with ITS as contrasted to existing signal preemption technology (used now by medical and fire services), M and O costs to maintain, coordinate, and staff.. HOw will costs (capital and M. and O) be allocated to jurisdictions. Who pays?

Arden Arcade Community Alliance Dec 2004

Join the Arden Arcade Community Alliance elves at our December meeting when
we wrap gifts for the Sheriff's Toy Project. Bring an unwrapped gift for a
child 16 years old or younger and some holiday wrapping paper and ribbon. We
will donate our gifts and wrap ones that have already been earmarked for children
in our community who would not receive gifts without this community service
project. The Sheriff's department will supply the tape and sicssors.

Cindy Burdette, coordinator of the Toy Project for Arden Arcade, suggest the
following for older children: sweatshirts, cd's, gift certificates,
inexpensive jewelry, body spray, wallets, basketballs, footballs, etc......

After we wrap gifts, we will have the election of 2005 officers. The slate is

The office of Alliance vice president is still vacant. This position
