CityCouncil | 2019-06-04 | 8 | Mr. Parisi responded in the affirmative; stated the short-term solution will include a bike lane going into a bike box; the long-term solution will include a protected intersection. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether bicyclists will have the option to go straight to Crab Cove with a sensor that triggers via bicycle, to which Mr. Parisi responded in the affirmative. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft expressed support for the traffic circle; stated the Fire Chief has requested to be involved in the traffic circle design process to ensure proper emergency access; Fernside Drive is a great example of a Class 2 bike lane that transitions to a Class 4 bike lane; the big picture is the complete streets plan, which no longer prioritizes the automobile; enforcement is important; however, there are a finite number of APD officers and enforcement cannot be relied on as a sole source. Vice Mayor Knox White moved approval of the plan; specifically calling support for reduction to two lanes of travel, a Class 4 bike lane along Rittler Park, a full Class 4 bike lane the length of the project, and support for the round-about [traffic circle] as a long term solution. Councilmember Vella seconded the motion, which carried by the following roll call vote: Councilmembers Daysog: No; Knox White: Aye; Oddie: Aye; Vella: Aye and Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft: Aye. Ayes: 4. Noes: 1. The Senior Transportation Coordinator inquired whether Council desires three lanes or two lanes. Vice Mayor Knox White responded the vote is for two travel lanes. *** Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft called a recess at 8:33 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 8:43 p.m. (19-349) Public Hearing to Consider Adoption of Resolution Confirming the Ballot Results to Determine Whether a Majority Protest Exists in the Proceedings to Increase Assessments in Island City Landscape and Lighting District 84-2, Zone 4 (Park Street).
