WHEREAS, the City maintains and operates a traffic signal system at
the intersection of Azusa Avenue and Cameron Avenue; and

creates conditions that could be hazardous to the public using this inter-
section whether as drivers or pedestrians; and

peak periods using police officers; and

a traffic accident and cannot be repaired to assure future reliability of
• operation; and

operates is conducive to further failures of said equipment; and
