CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order at 4:30 p.m. Those in attendance were Mayor Booth, Committee Chairman Rich Wagner, Council/Committee member Gene Cerino, and Council/Committee member Fred Poe was excused; Council/Committee member Pete Lewis was the alternate. Staff in attendance were Acting Public Works Director Dennis Dowdy, Senior Engineer Dennis Selle, Traffic Engineer Steve Mullen, Finance Director Diane Supler, staff member Don Wright, Utility Technician Darcie Hanson, Project Engineer Carl Every, Water Quality Programj~oordinator Chris Thom, Special Projects Jack Locke, Planning Director Paul Krauss, City Attomey Mike Reynolds and Public Works Secretary Laurie Scheder. Guests in attendance were Cathy Carr of CCA., Inc., Virginia Haugen and David J. Unzen regarding "R" Street Improvements and Dick Burkhard regarding Resolution 2960. The Chairman decided to take up the citizen concern about the channelization of "R" Street as the first item of business. Ms. Virginia Haugen, a resident on "R" Street SE, provided input to the Committee regarding a letter from the Traffic Engineering Section about proposed traffic revisions to "R" Street SE. Of specific concern was the installation of a two-way left turn lane which would require prohibition of parking along the street and would move the thin-travel lane edge of the roadway closer to the sidewalk. Steve Mullen, Traffic Engineer, gave a brief explanation of the channelization changes and their purposes: to slow traffic, eliminate side-by-side travel, preclude passing on the right, and to ease left tums into residential driveways. Ms. Haugen explained her concerns about the thru-travel lane being shifted closer to the pedestrian path and expressed concems about pedestrian safety. The Committee agreed to recommend that the roadway be striped as is, except for that portion of the roadway near the intersection of 29th Street SE and "R" Street SE to accommodate construction of the traffic signal at the intersection.
