Public Works/Parks and 2 Recreation Director Peterson indicated this would require the street to be widened. 3 4 Mayor Mueller inquired if a crosswalk would be marked along County Road I. Public 5 Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson reported there were no provisions for enhanced 6 crosswalks. He explained this would be a separate issue. 7 8 Council Member Hull asked if this project could be completed without MSA funding. City 9 Administrator Zikmund indicated this project could move forward without MSA funding, but 10 this would require an additional levy. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson 11 explained that in order to receive MSA funding, the project had to meet MSA design 12 requirements. He understood the residents did not want the street widened which meant the 13 pavement width would be held. He indicated if parking were added to one side or another, the 14 street would have to be widened, which would impact the stormwater requirements. He reported 15 the final roadway would actually be slightly more narrow, which may assist in slowing traffic. 16 17 City Administrator Zikmund commented on the mini roundabout that was being considered at 18 County Road I noting the hope would be that the roundabout would assist with slowing traffic. 19 20 Mayor Mueller asked if the manhole could be made of a different material in order to reduce the 21 noise that was being created.

He commented he would much prefer 36 to see the local authority be in charge of this, but since the State would be providing $500,000 for 37 the project, the City's hands were tied.
