Ashland Meeting Seeks Repeal of Street Widening Ordinance
ASHLAND county officials faced residents at a mass meeting in Ashland School over a proposed street widening ordinance. About 281 attendees signed a petition to repeal the measure, arguing it would require five feet of property from each side on several streets while funding would come from gas tax funds and traffic fines. Kolander, an engineer, defended the plan as guiding future development and rights of way, noting only Blossom Way widening is currently planned. Residents urged personal contact before any land purchases or eminent domain steps.

Greater Speed Limit For Freeway Urged
Traffic engineer Robert Crommelin urged San Leandro City Council to oppose lowering the Eastshore Freeway limit to 45 mph and instead support a 65 mph absolute maximum. He cited studies showing 65 mph practices and argued 45 mph would trigger more weaving and violations, while Oakland ramps and structures differ from south sections. Crommelin noted 85 percent top speeds under 65 mph and only 3 percent above, with 8 percent above 45 mph, supporting current prima facie speed limits.
