MINUTES CITY COUNCIL MAY 1, 1991 36 foot width. The extra width could be used for parking for special occasions. Collova agreed and suggested that the extra width would be a good bike traffic area. The Engineer pointed out that the cost would be relatively low to go with a 36 street width versus 32 feet. Blesener felt that anyone buying the lots along DeSoto would prefer that the street be posted no parking in order to avoid congestion. LaValle asked if Lot 3, which is proposed to be a part of Phase II, would be better faced toward DeSoto rather than Costa Lane. The City Engineer reported that Mr. Costa feels the lot will be more valuable facing Costa Lane. LaValle suggested that the parking lot be sized to accommodate park users. Scalze pointed out that this has already been done, and it was pointed out that the park development on the east is more passive use, with ballfields oriented toward the west. Hartman stated that he would like to see a stop sign installed at the corner of Allen and DeSoto Streets, as well as a street light in that same area. The City Engineer discouraged installation of a stop sign until the improvement is completed and it can be determined if a stop sign is warranted. The City Engineer suggested that a cross -walk could be installed, and agreed that a street light may be needed. It was also pointed out that once Desoto Street is improved, the 3 -way stop at DeSoto and LaBore would be changed to a 4 -way stop. Council consensus was that the Public Works Superintendent look at the installation of a street light in the area of DeSoto and Allen Avenue. Hanson suggested that the Park Commission look at a possible location of a crosswalk on Centerville Road to get pedestrians from the west side of Centerville Road over to Pioneer Park. Page 8
