A. Public Hearings 1. Pike Street Improvements - Construction of traffic circles at 12th & "M" Street N.E. and 12th & "O" Streets N.E. Barbara Cooksey, 1226 K Street N.E., expressed concern for those people, like herself, that have R.V. vehicles which would have difficulty going around the circle. Gary Marshall, 1402 13th Street N.E., felt this issue was being handled backwards. He stated the answer would be a road through 22nd and across the river with a bridge. Sue Severson, 1317 0 Street N.E., spoke in favor of the recommendation stating they realized it was a stop-gap, measure. However, they felt Entranco's recommenation could be a pilot program for the City's other traffic problem areas. Harold Mead, 100 Pike Street N.E., expressed concern over where the bump was going to be put. He felt there should be even another bump. David Totten, 1120 Pike Street N.E., could not see the City spending money for something that would not be there very long. He said they were not asking to eli- minate traffic just slow it down.
