He advised that some respondents chose not to complete the survey and many questions were left blank. Director of Public Works Ulrich noted the survey results as contained in the meeting packet and advised there are a number of options available as to the direction in which to proceed. Director of Public Works Ulrich read the three questions asked and reviewed the responses received.

North of Highway 10, there was more of a mixed result but the majority support widening to add a pedestrian pathway. Mayor Coughlin stated he contacted them and asked if there was a way to strike a balance between those who wanted it 24 feet wide and those wanting it wider. He explained that everyone's concerns were toward pedestrian traffic and they desired to keep the road narrow while still accommodating pedestrians. He stated that with those he discussed it with, they felt the compromise was to expand the roadway to 26 feet wide, a three foot wide shoulder that could accommodate pedestrian traffic, a one foot shoulder on the other side, and eleven foot driving lanes.
