CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br />APPROVED <br />89 - Roundabouts — benefits, one added at Old Birch St, solves safety and turn issues; <br />90 <br />91 Council Questions/Comments: <br />92 - How are concerns about increasing traffic, speed and safety being addressed; <br />93 - How about roundabouts with pedestrian tunnels (water table is probably too high); <br />94 - Why not make the street the same width throughout (shoulder width is one issue, <br />95 less is more); <br />96 - Adding another roundabout is questionable; <br />97 - This is an artery street intended to move traffic; <br />98 - People who use this street use it because they must; it's one of a few <br />99 thoroughfares in the City; <br />100 - What City costs could be involved (some cost participation for trails and others); <br />101 - Roundabouts actually create more traffic because cars start off in the wrong <br />102 direction and double back; <br />103 - Will fire trucks get through the roundabouts efficiently; will the roundabouts <br />104 impact response time (some side streets are as challenging; the fire truck is large <br />105 and isn't moving that fast). <br />106 <br />107 The council thanked staff for the additional information.
