III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background: (Cont.)
The installation of the signal is a safety project which will provide a specific and safe location for
children attempting to cross Laurel Road to access the school.
The project has been determined to be in compliance with the General Plan and is exempt from
CEQA because it is a minor improvement to an existing facility.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Delay in approving the project will result in a delay of design and construction and may jeopardize
funding.
