Public Comment on Presentation
Katherine Rinehart, Petaluma, discussed concerns about tree removal and wants the
aesthetics to go beyond concrete so that consideration is given for vegetation and tree
planting. This project will set a precedent as other soundwalls will be going up in the
community. She thought it was important to remember the redwood and oak trees that line
highway 101 and give our community its identity.
Diane Reilly Torres, Petaluma, said that she was happy that the Public Art Committee is
working on this project and wanted to mention the Policy Advisory Group (PAG) Committee
that Caltrans started. The group has had meetings in Novato and Petaluma and meets
quarterly in order to keep the public up-to-date.

PUBLIC COMMENT
Richard Brawn, Petaluma, said the City will have to borrow money in the near future and he has
concerns about how the City will deal with disclosures. He believes that Petaluma has "starved
its roads and water supply system."
Katherine Bobrowski, Petaluma, said she has not found anyone in the City of Petaluma to help
her.
Linda Postenreider, Co -Owner, Pelican Art Gallery, Petaluma, spoke of the buttons supporting
the Butter and Eggs Day Parade.
Zen Destiny, Petaluma, said, "Elvis is alive and is in charge of the Church of Global
Warming." Further he believes that the government takeover of health care is a catastrophic
mistake and a bailout for the insurance and pharmaceutical industries.
Diane Reilly Torres, Petaluma, said she can't afford to get sick since the cost for her medications
through health insurance has gone from $5 to $30. She had some confusion over who was
going to pay for a water line and had discussed it with John Maitland from SCTA.
John Hanania, Petaluma, provided Mayor Torliatt with a set of photos of employees' private
vehicles and talked about a double standard because the Police Department cites the
public but does not cite City employees whose personal vehicles have the same illegal
modifications.

Discussion Regarding Potential Petaluma Boulevard South Road Diet and
Resolution 2010-051 N.C.S. Authorization to Apply for a Transportation for Livable
Communities (TLC) Grant. (Marengo/Zimmer)
Public Comment on Item 5.11
Linda Postenreider, Petaluma, had concerns about riding a bicycle with the new
configuration and the bulbs that come out at the walk ways. She said that as a
cyclist one is forced into the traffic and thought it was unsafe.
Donna Hinshaw, Petaluma, she stated that as a cyclist on the areas roads since
1982, the "bulb outs" proposed for this project are very dangerous for bicyclists.
Jeff Mayne, Petaluma Downtown Association, Petaluma, presented Council with
a letter from Ross Jones. The letter reflects the Association's thoughts about the
road diet. 1. Traffic volume must meet or exceed current volume; 2. The parking
inventory must meet or exceed the current inventory; and, 3. Restrict loading and
deliveries on the Boulevard.
