Frank Currie stated in October, 1986 the City cronducted a traffic study for sight distance at the location of 12th and ' M' Street at the Miles Sand and Gravel drive�,*ay because of a nwnber of canplaints the City received. �e study indicated there c.*as a sight distant problen due to parked cars on the east side of ':9' Street. Frank Currie reported the Public works Depar�ent posted te�orary no parking zones on 'M' Street S.E. A previous traffic study recaimended rechannelization of 'M' Street and a three lane facility with left turn provisions which would }llow for through traffic. Frank Clarrie noted the recannendation before the Council this evening is for a recharmelization of 'M' Street allowing for left turns southbound at Miles Sand and Gravel, and northbound onto 12th Street off of 'M' Street, and allaaing for left turn movanants off of 'M' onto Auburn Way South. Frank Currie pointed out currently the traffic backs up on 'M' Street as far as 12th Street S.E, going south. Motion by Councilmanber Iarson secrond by CounciLnenber Whittall to introduce and adopt Ordinance 4167. Under discussion, Councilmanber Kurle asked if the trees were blocking the view fran Miles Sand & Gravel entrance onto 'M' Street S.E, if a traffic light had been cronsidered at this intersection, and what the 1983 traffic study had to do with this intersection. Frank Currie responded the trees do not obscure sight on 'M' Street S.E., the traffic light would help the problen on 'M' Street, and the 1983 traffic study conducted by Entranco rras done as part of the Harvey Road widening project. The Harvey Road widening project was intended to be implenented in different phases. It was noted the sight distant problan could be taken care of by elminating parking on 'M' Street fran 12th Street S.E. to Auburn Way South. Frank Currie pointed out the 1983 study indicated left turn lanes should be installed at 12th Street S.E. and a dual left turn or increased left turn lane be installed south of 12th Street S.E. on ' M' Street to prwide additional storage for the dual left turn lane onto Auburn way Swth at its intersection. Councilmenber Kurle suggested a�.mpranise regarding the no parking zones.

EYank Currie pointed out the tiaffic study H*as wnducted by the AiLSHTU book, and does not see a canpranise. CounciLnenber Iarson explained there might be a possibility that Burlington Northern would consider changing the signal light at the railroad crossing on 'M' Street which could allow four lanes fran Highway 18, south to Auburn Way. Councilmember Larson expressed ooncern regarding the City's liability associated with 'M' Street, and stated a no parking zone would be enforced fran Auburn Way South to 12th 5treet S.E. to allow for a left turn lane. Discussion oentered around current no parking zones �'M' Street S.E., recrorded accidents on 'M' Street, the intention of the 1983 Entranco traffic study, and oosts associated with implenenting the no parking zones and left turn lane. Sane Councilmenbers felt the City was caught in the middle of a labor dispute between Miles Sand and Gravel and their e�loyees, but felt croncern for the traffic eonditions, sight distance problans, and safety conditions that exists on ' M' Street S.E.
