TransportationCommission | 2019-02-27 | 4 | Chair Miley said that the safety for the school children crossing at that intersection would be his main focus. Commissioner Nachtigall said that Grand is very wide in that area which makes it unsafe. Commissioner Soules asked what the 13% of "hit objects" was in the data. Sgt. Foster said a fixed object is what they check if someone hits something other than moving cars, pedestrians, or bicycles. He said it could be a house, parked car, pole, etc.. Commissioner Soules asked if drainage improvements on poorly design corners would be evaluated as an environmental improvement when considering bulb out projects. Staff Member Wikstrom said that they have not considered that yet, but noted that dealing with drainage issues can get very expensive very quickly. Commissioner Soules pointed out that the top five priorities from the workshop responses can all coexist together. Chair Miley opened the public hearing. Joe Keiser said he lives on Otis and is supportive of this project. He said he sees the high speeds all the time and is concerned for his two young children's safety. He said a girl lives across the street from him and gets driven to her grandparents' home next door to him because it is impossible to safely walk across Otis now. Jim Strehlow said a roundabout at Grand and Otis would be incompatible with the trucks in the Fourth of July parade. Chair Miley closed the public hearing. Commissioner Johnson asked what would happen to the road diet and bike lane when it approaches Willow Street. Staff Member Wikstrom said they have not gotten into that level of design detail yet and would have something when they come back in May with the preliminary design. Chair Miley asked if the signals at the split Willow intersections would be altered at all in order to have better coordination between the signals. Staff Member Wikstrom said that would likely be a phase II item because of the level of signal work and cost required. 4 | TransportationCommission/2019-02-27.pdf |
