Meeting Minutes for November 19, 2007

Pre-Open House Project Team Meeting

Attendees

Dan Burden recommended considering the following 3-Lane section:
- 14-Foot center two-way left turn lane
  - Extra width provides flexibility to widen travel lanes later, if needed
  - Colorize the asphalt to distinguish from travel lanes
- (2) 6-Foot parking lanes on the outsides
  - Larger width would reduce valuable space without added safety benefits
- (2) 7-Foot bike lanes between parking and travel lanes
  - Colorize the asphalt to distinguish from travel lanes
  - End at roundabouts and possibly add ramps and trail around
- (2) 10-Foot travel lanes
Curb extensions should be extended to accommodate front and rear doors of bus
Improvements should enable some turn restrictions to be removed to lessen cut-through traffic and speeding on neighborhood streets

Dan Burden thought the cost estimate was very high – should only consist of adding a curbed island in the middle of the intersection
Substantial curb reconstruct and right-of-way takes were needed because of tee intersection
