0 interoffice <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> to: Pam Sheldon, Community Development Dir. <br /> from: Cathy Bennett, Dir. of Economic Development <br /> subject: EDC Motion on Pedestrian Bridge <br /> date: February 20, 1997 <br /> For your information, the Economic Development Commission approved on a 3-1 vote to <br /> support a pedestrian bridge along Highway 10. The motion included the support of the bridge in <br /> anticipation of future mixed use development that would necessitate increased foot traffic across <br /> the highway. <br /> Comments from EDC members were as follows. Cindy Carlson noted that with the <br /> development, now or in the future, of the O'Neil Property and with the possibility of residential <br /> senior development in section 9 there is an increased need to have a link between the north and <br /> south sides of the highway. She noted that this is both an economic need and a safety need. Bev <br /> 0 Tarhark noted that the bridge would help with access to the retail centers and increase safety for <br /> both those that are walking and biking across 10. Delane Welsch commented that as a senior it is <br /> virtually impossible for him to cross 10 at the signaled intersection and there are many times he <br /> would like to access the services and amenities across 10 without getting into his car. Rosemary <br /> Goff voted against support of the bridge. <br />
