At the May 17, 1993 City Council meeting, Mayor Pro Tem Saltarelli
expressed concern regarding school children crossing at the

Elementary School and Columbus-Tustin Middle School. It was
indicated that due to the location of the two schools south of
Bryan Avenue, the noted intersection is heavily utilized by school-
related pedestrian traffic. An exhibit showing the noted location
is attached to this report.

May 17, 1993 meeting, to prepare a report investigating and
addr%ssin~ the need for a crossing guard at the noted location.

According to the Tustin Unified School District, neither of the
subject schools involved with this study are designated as summer

of the 1993-94 school year in September 1993.
